Concubine Rebirth: Your Highness, I am sick

Chapter 117 How Long Can We Live?

Qin Yan and Haitang are indeed in Feng County.

Feng County has put the whole county on alert, and all major intersections are allowed to enter and not allowed to exit.When Hu Miaozhuang arrived in Fengxian County, he was a little scared and advised King Mu not to enter the country.But Qin Yan is not willing to listen.

It was pouring rain in Fengxian County, and under the heavy rain, there was devastation everywhere.People in ragged clothes on the side of the road hid under the ruined walls to avoid the rain, but it was better than nothing, and they were still beaten to the brim.Seeing that there are still businessmen entering the country, I am also quite surprised.

"Is this here to collect the corpse for us?"

"Hehe, you still want to leave after coming? Come and die with us."

"How do you know that he will definitely die..."

Qin Yan was startled when he heard this, and wanted to get off the carriage. Haitang immediately opened the umbrella and got off with him.

"Master, how long has it been raining in Feng County?"

"Up and down, it's been half a month."

"The Zhongzhou government is opening a warehouse to release grain, why don't you go there for a while?"

The old man rolled his eyes: "What's the use of these afterthoughts?"

An old woman next to him saw that Qin Yan was dressed cleanly and spoke in a friendly manner, for some reason, she became hopeful, and said in a sharp voice, "This young man seems to be speaking official language, does it come from Beijing?"

Qin Yan nodded: "I came here to do business, I didn't expect the disaster in Fengxian County to be so serious."

The old woman said: "In the past, it was possible to leave, but the old man insisted that the imperial court would release food, and he was reluctant to part with the few pigs at home. Now the house has been washed away, and the pigs have also run away. If you want to leave again, all the officers and soldiers outside will tell you Stop it, don't let it go out."

Qin Yan was puzzled, "The Yellow River hasn't broken its embankment yet, how could the house be washed away?"

The old man rolled his eyes again: "The embankment burst, you and I are gone, can we still talk here? The rain alone is enough to wash away my house."

Qin Yan blushed, feeling guilty for no reason.Although the imperial court's poor governance of the river has nothing to do with him, he always feels ashamed of these people.I also heard that rainwater can wash away the house, so it can be seen that the house is not strong at all, and I feel even more sad.

"Sorry, sir, we have never experienced it before, and we don't understand it."

The old woman sighed: "What are you still doing here, what's important, we can't wait. We are all waiting to die here, and you are still coming in to die..."

Qin Yan was startled and asked, "How do you say that?"

"We are all people who have been abandoned by the court. They are afraid that we will go out and grab food and land with others. Just wait for the flood to rush over, and Quanfeng County will become a dead city as they wish. When the flood recedes, the result will be The silted out land without an owner, those goddamn gangs are waiting to take it for themselves..."

Qin Yan was shocked: "Impossible!"

The old man waved his hand: "I have nothing to say to you, maybe you are also with those people, hurry up and go away."

"Get in the car and go to the county government office!" Qin Yan's face was livid.

Haitang knew that he was extremely angry, and seeing Hu Miaozhuang's face full of grief and indignation after hearing what the two old people said, she knew that this matter might be true.

After getting into the carriage, the two of them were already covered in mud, so they couldn't control it.Haitang reminded: "Your Highness, I think this place is very dangerous. If what they said is true, those people in Fengzhou may have given up on Fengxian County, and Fengxian County may be submerged at any time."

Qin Yan said to Hu Miaozhuang who was sitting in front of the car: "Brother Hu, take us to the county government office, I want to see the county magistrate!"

The carriage ran over on the muddy road and traveled far away in a while.

The old woman who stayed under the broken wall blamed the old man: "Why don't you stop them, the county magistrate has already run away."

The old man rolled his eyes: "The county magistrate is gone, but the common people are still there. Let these pampered young masters go and see what despair is."

Along the way, Haitang tried her best to think about how the Fengxian County was drowned in her previous life. Unfortunately, she didn't pay much attention to political affairs at that time. If there were really important events, she would only remember one or two.I really don't remember this Feng County.

Hu Miaozhuang became more and more flustered as he walked, and shouted into the car: "There is something wrong on the road, let's go back."

Qin Yan was so angry that he didn't want to turn around, his face was livid: "Go to the county government office!"

Before the words fell, the horse staggered, raised its legs and neighed.

"What's going on?" Qin Yan opened the window curtain, but his color changed immediately.

I saw a group of people around the car, the people in front of the horses were obviously intercepting the car, and there were still people with dirty faces and disaster victims around them, the rain was hitting their faces, and their eyes were fierce. greedy.

Qin Yan felt panic for the first time.

These disaster victims were all anxious, seeing such a caravan coming, it was like sending them rations.

The dozen or so bodyguards that Li Shoubei sent to protect them had drawn their swords and surrounded the carriage, vowing to protect His Royal Highness King Mu.

Unexpectedly, when the sword was lit, instead of deterring the victims, it made them even more crazy.

"These little bastards have swords!"

"There must be treasure in the car!"

"There will be food!"

"..."

For a moment, the crowd was furious. What they saw was not a caravan, but a cornucopia, a chance to live for a few more days.

Through the window, Haitang could already see the black heads of people outside, and a burst of despair hit her heart.Two fists are no match for four hands, even Li Shoubei's dozens of elite soldiers can hardly deal with these thousands of disaster victims.

Seeing that Qin Yan was about to get out of the car angrily, Haitang grabbed him and said, "Your Highness, don't!"

Then he yelled at Hu Miaozhuang in front of the car: "Rush over, let's get out!"

However, the wheels got stuck in the mud, and no matter how hard the horses tried, the cart bumped again and again, and finally could not struggle out of the mud.

Hu Miaozhuang climbed to the roof of the car in grief and anger, and shouted: "Are you all blind? Are you all blind? We are all people who have nothing to eat, and we are all people who are waiting to die here! We are all the same as you people!"

Probably seeing Hu Miaozhuang's appearance, everyone hesitated for a moment.In the crowd, someone seemed to have recognized Hu Miaozhuang, and shouted, "Aren't those people from Huzhuang, how can you drive them?"

Qin Yan couldn't bear it anymore, broke free from Haitang, lifted the curtain, and rushed out.

The heavy rain made him unable to open his eyes. He looked hard at the crowd around him and said loudly, "Tell me, how long do you want to live?"

Everyone was stunned, as if they didn't expect this young man who seemed to be living a prosperous life to ask such a question.

How long to live?
For them, they always only think about how to live today, who would expect tomorrow?

When it was boiling outside just now, Qin Yan had already spotted the young people who were at the front of the line. These flood victims were actually bewitched by them.

He quickly pointed to one: "You, tell me, how long do you want to live?"

The young man was taken aback, and said angrily, "I want to know how long we can live!"
