Zhuang Li originally wanted to get a good night's sleep, but when she thought about it, the street that was separated from him was just that muddy and the street that had so many hungry victims lying on it. Not far away from the city, there were still so many bodies that were killed by the flood …
Just thinking about it made his scalp tingle, making him feel uncomfortable and a little scared. In short, he just couldn't fall asleep …
In fact, he was physically and mentally exhausted.
Those cliffs and cliffs gave off a feeling of dread, as if one would never imagine that one would still be able to walk down them. Now, once she stopped, there was not a single spot on her body that did not feel pain, almost causing her to collapse. She could have gotten a good night's sleep, do some rest, but she could not fall asleep.
There were too many things on his mind. She had always been a fussy person, and her heart was soft, so she could never stop thinking about things. Now that he was faced with such a disastrous result, how could he let her go? However, he was powerless to do anything about it.
The nobles within the walls of the palace had never thought that the place far away from them would become like this. These people were unable to eat well, were unable to wear warm clothes, were forced to starve, and were even displaced … The old men among them, the ignorant children, the frail women... How can we survive?
And how many of those adults who were arguing at court actually understood what had happened?
Even the leftover food that they poured into the gutter at home was more than enough to feed dozens of victims …
Although most of them were true, in the end, they were still hidden from the public. As for false reports, the county's papers were handed over to the state government, and the state's papers were handed over to them with the book token. The book token was handed over to the public study, where it was then passed to Imperial Study …
How many days had it been delayed?
No one knows...
And was the prefecture deducting the memorial for its own benefit? False report of the disaster... In the capital, the territory that was supposed to be under his jurisdiction was still a rich and beautiful piece of land. In just a few years, he had accumulated enough connections to allow him to advance … Leave this mess to the next officer.
This kind of thing was inevitable in the Great Phoenix.
Perhaps these worms were lucky enough to be able to cultivate to the Exquisite Realm. In the end, they entered the capital and entered the imperial government … To collude with the government in which faction and sect they came under, this was truly a troublesome matter …
However, the Emperor couldn't see it. No one could see it …
Along the way, the emperor would send letters back to the palace, which would then be delivered to that ordinary residence in the capital, the Supreme Fu Mansion. It was passed to the eunuchs in the palace, and finally to Eunuch Li.
The Eunuch Li would naturally pronounce the decree on behalf of the Emperor. In the name of the law, she began to distribute the money. However, for the food gathered in the capital to be transported here, it would naturally be slower than Zhuang Li and the others …
He had to be more careful on the way. If these things were to get mildewed from the damp, then it would be useless …
Yun Duan had always driven fast horses and lashes, his skills and techniques extremely good.
Sometimes, Zhuang Li even felt that the horse was running so fast, it seemed like it was going to fly away.
Could it be that Yun Duan was not the only one who knew Qing Gong … His horse can also use qinggong?
Along the way, Zhuang Li was also clear in his heart. Even though she was tired, Wang Su and Yun Duan actually did a lot of things, and could be considered to be taking care of her.
Although Yun Duan didn't like Zhuang Li on the surface, he was probably used to the emperor taking him alone when he went out in the past. Now, he actually brought Zhuang Li along as well, which made him feel like the spoiled love she received was shared by a woman who appeared out of nowhere and seemed to be of no use at all …
Why …
His martial arts had improved greatly and he had followed Wang Su for more than ten years. The two of them had not only gotten along with master and servant, but they had also come across such a dangerous path, allowing Zhuang Li to discover the trust and tacit understanding between them. In front of the emperor, Yun Duan was like a child. He would do whatever the emperor said …
Even if the Emperor wanted him to die, he wouldn't hesitate to do so. He wouldn't even bat an eye …
And in front of Zhuang Li... All his loathing for Zhuang Li had made him look even more like a child …
Zhuang Li sighed, feeling hungry again. Looking at the time, it wasn't even noon yet, but the lunch that had just been eaten had already been completely digested?
I don't blame my stomach for thinking about it... Such clear porridge... No matter how much he ate, he couldn't eat his fill …
When they thought about the last meal, they realized that it was the fish that their uncle had caught in the river in the morning and cooked for them in the fishing village that was also eroded by the flood …
His mouth became sensitive and full of saliva...
But if he himself was hungry, then wouldn't Wang Su be even hungrier?
A woman couldn't even feed a bowl of porridge, let alone a man? She felt her heart ache again …
Although Zhuang Li had never lived a peaceful life after she had transmigrated, she had experienced quite a few things. She had been intercepted by bandits, froze on the grassland, and was imprisoned in the palace … But she had never experienced such hunger.
Even on the way to West Cold, the criminals had already given them quite a bit of rations. Although it was unpalatable and couldn't be eaten, thinking about it now, it seemed like the stale dry biscuit also didn't have a sweet taste …
Just as he was thinking, he felt something smash into his head, and it even felt somewhat painful. It was fine to touch it.
"Pa!" This time, it was in his own hands …
Ouch …
she cried, tilting her head back.
On that fake mountain, there was a little boy lying on it … The skinny guy with the pointy face was throwing rocks at Zhuang Li. He was instantly infuriated …
"What are you doing!"
The boy made a face and stuck out his tongue. they had never placed Zhuang Li in their eyes at all …
Zhuang Li was too lazy to bother with him, she just stood up and made a grabbing motion to grab him. That rotten brat immediately ran away like a wisp of smoke. She was originally feeling hungry and depressed, and really wanted to go on a rampage.
However, she didn't have much energy after all. After thinking about it, she decided to save some energy and sat back down. However, just as she sat down, another rock came crashing down. It was even bigger than the previous two combined … If Zhuang Li had not just lied down and tilted her body, that stone would have smashed onto her head. It would be weird if she didn't get a head full of blood!
This was something intolerable … ~ Who knows how mischievous she is, Zhuang Li stood up and quietly went around the fake mountain. She realized that the lousy kid was currently climbing up the mountain with a bigger rock.
Are you trying to smash me to death!?
"Get down here!"
Zhuang Li shouted, causing the child to tremble in fear. The stone fell from the sky … He landed with me... He rolled straight into the pond. Splash! Splash … -
Zhuang Li was also immediately shocked...
The pond was not very deep, but the child, who was young and not very tall, began to struggle in it. He was immediately choked into a few more mouthfuls of water, flopping about on the surface of the water with all his might …
Zhuang Li did not have time to think, and immediately jumped down with him.
As she shouted for help, she rushed to the child's side, grabbed his clothes and dragged him up. But no matter how much she pulled, he couldn't pull it away. It was only now that Zhuang Li realized that she had already discovered that there were so many aquatic plants underwater …
This rotten child was probably tied up by the aquatic plants!
She didn't care. She crouched down and groped for the child's leg, trying to untie the grass.
However, he didn't know if it was because the child was extremely frightened while underwater, but the moment Zhuang Li came into contact with him, he suddenly struggled in an even more frenzied manner.
Zhuang Li was holding her breath in the water, shocked by his actions. She thought to herself that she would have to beat his butt to vent her anger later.
But right at this moment, the child kicked fiercely at Zhuang Li's chest.
Suddenly, he felt a burst of pain, as if his bones had been shattered. The breath that was held in his lungs came out and his entire body was in pain, rendering him unable to move …
She was hungry to begin with, but after this torment, she had already lost all her strength. At this moment, she didn't even have the strength to hug her chest …
The last thing Zhuang Li saw was the water surface above her head and the mottled sun on the water surface … Only then did she see a person approaching her. She thought it was an illusion, but in a blink of an eye, that person had already gotten closer and closer. Reaching out, she lifted her up and dragged her out of the water...
Wang Su...
Zhuang Li was lying on the floor by the pool, his chest was in so much pain that she was unable to move it. She tried to curl up, but there was another concentrated pain. Wang Su guarded her side, but he didn't know that she had been kicked hard. It was as if it was extremely heavy, and he only thought that she had been shocked …
Zhuang Li and the rest finally recovered. Suddenly, they felt that they were in a terrible situation …
A child's cry suddenly appeared beside her at an inopportune moment …
Then, a woman who looked like a wife ran over. Zhuang Li could tell at a glance that she was that county's daughter-in-law just by looking at her appearance …
She carried the child in her arms and took out a handkerchief to wipe the water off his face while she spoke …
"Bao'er, what's wrong with Bao'er? "What's going on?"
Zhuang Li was just about to say something lifelessly: Your child should be properly disciplined and disciplined now …
He didn't expect that the rotten child would open his mouth first.
"Mother, she pushed me …"
Zhuang Li's mind buzzed for a moment … If it was her usual self, she would have had the spirit to take a piece of wood and smash this little monkey's butt to pieces.
"He obviously harmed me first …" When Zhuang Li said this, she felt as if his chest was already numb from the pain. She even felt depressed when she spoke. If it was too heavy, his chest would be extremely painful …
Wang Su also clearly felt that something was wrong with Zhuang Li, as even her voice had changed and her face had turned white. She did not seem like she was scared by the flood as the water on her forehead had just been wiped dry by Wang Su.
"How could my child harm you? How old are you? How old is my child? Do you have a conscience? " The woman complained, but the child seemed to be trying even harder to signal her to start crying.
