The two changed into regular clothes, walked out of the East Palace, and came to the area where ordinary people in the capital lived through Donghua Gate and Dong'an Gate.

Despite the heavy snowfall, the streets of the capital are still bustling with people, and the surrounding shops are steaming and bustling.

If this was in normal times, Zhao Rui would definitely be in high spirits, but now that she didn't know her life and death, no matter how lively the scene was, she couldn't arouse her interest.

She numbly and apprehensively followed behind Li Chen, came out of Chongwen Gate, passed Yongding Gate, and walked out of the capital city.

As soon as you leave the Yongding Gate, it is like coming to another world.

Desolate and vast, the mountain scenery can be faintly seen in the distance, the snow is covered in the near distance, the whole world is covered in silver, and there are pedestrians, tourists and business travelers queuing up to enter the city on the official road, but everyone's face is heavy.

"This uncle, okay, poor child, he hasn't eaten a bite for three or five days, the uncle is very merciful, just give you anything to eat or a copper plate, so that the child can eat a cake.

Li Chen took Zhao Rui out of the official road, and immediately a skinny old man came over with a wooden stick and a lame leg to nod and beg, and at his feet was a four or five-year-old dirty child, the unclothed child was like a thin monkey holding the old man's leg, and a pair of godless eyes looked around blankly.

When the wind and snow blew, the grandfather and grandson trembled.

And there are many such people nearby.

Li Chen knew that there were a large number of victims from outside the capital, but he didn't expect that the number of victims had spread to the vicinity of the gate of the capital.

When Li Chen went out, it was naturally impossible to bring money with him, so he looked at Zhao Rui.

As a woman, Zhao Rui's heart was softer, and when she saw the crippled and small weakness of the pair of grandchildren in front of her, her compassion suddenly flooded, but she didn't have any money on her body, she took off a bracelet and wanted to hand it to the old man.

This move was stopped by Li Chen.

"Do you want to kill them?" Li

Chen said, pointing to the victims who were staring at the bracelet not far away.

"The rich also pay attention to their wealth and do not show it, if their grandparents take your bracelet and don't wait to sell it for money, they can make these people who are interested in making money kill them in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Rui was shocked to realize that she had almost done something bad with good intentions, and hurriedly said: "Yes, I'm sorry."

Li Chen ignored Zhao Rui and clapped his palms.

A brocade guard in disguise immediately walked over.

"Go, buy two steamed buns and baked cakes.

After Li Chen sent away the Jinyi guard, he said softly to the old man: "Uncle, where are you calling?"

The old man knew that Li Chen had sent someone to buy food for him, and he was immediately grateful, and he also had something to answer in the face of Li Chen's question.

"This kind uncle, our grandson came from Xishan Province. "

I heard that Xishan Province is the most severely affected, and my husband came from there, and he has to cross Nanzhili all the way, so it's not easy to walk, right?" Li Chen asked again.

The old man lowered his head, stretched out his rough and rugged hand and touched the head of the child at his feet, and said in an almost numb tone: "Our house is fifty miles away from the Yellow River, I thought that no matter how big the flood was, it would not affect it, but that night the dam collapsed directly, and I don't know how many people died, the flood rushed over, and our family was sleeping, thinking about whether to go to the field to hide, but in the blink of an eye, the house collapsed, and the son, daughter-in-law, wife, and two newborn fat baby twin grandsons, all...... Nope.

"That's all left with this big baby, follow the old man all the way to ask for food." "
