I had never seen my real parents before, so I couldn't understand his sadness, but his dark eyes still shocked me deeply. I was full of grief and indignation, so I smashed the table into pieces!
I shouted at Zhui Yu, "Why didn't you let me kill those bandits!"
Mu Yu shook his head, and said indifferently: "It's not their fault. They were not robbers. They were just a few victims who wanted to survive. "If you have food to eat, you can live. Sometimes, if you are forced to the extreme to survive, you can do anything."
At that moment, his expression was calm, but something seemed to be about to spill from under the long eyelashes of his eyes. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and they shone with an obscure and melancholy light.
I froze, shocked, and looked up at him. At that moment, his expression suddenly made me feel a bit of heartache. I remembered that night at the edge of the lake in the valley, when he was in a coma, he was pale and helpless as he called out to his mother.
He must have had relatives whose blood was thicker than water, right? He also had a warm memory of home, right? But why am I as alone as I am now?
The "grudges of the previous generation" that he mentioned were related to Xuan Yue, as well as his friend that was poisoned by the thousand year old dream. Could it be that it was related to his parents and relatives?
I didn't dare to ask too many questions about this matter because I asked him about it last time and ended up getting struck by him using the rolling thunder. That kind of memory is too tragic, let's not talk about it.
At this moment, I felt very, very sad. I was at a loss and couldn't help but ask, "If it isn't the fault of those who suffered from the disaster, then whose fault is it? Whose fault is all this? "
Finally, after a long silence, Fang slowly replied, "It's not your fault, nor mine. It's the fault of this world. It's the fault of the people who made this world. "
"The person who created this world?"
He nodded his head and looked into the distance. "In the position of Emperor, one must seek to achieve political results. Since he rules over tens of thousands of people, he must shoulder the responsibility for the lives of all under the heavens. For the common people to live in danger and not to be saved, that is the problem of those in power. "
I don't quite understand the profoundness of his words. But at that moment, I saw a hint of desolation in his eyes. His eyes were filled with anger and pity.
At dawn the next day, I went to see Arlo. His injuries had stabilized, but his body was full of injuries, so it was not a good idea to travel a long way. So I asked for a few more days to wait here until Aral's injury was better.
I hoped he would take Arlo with him, because if he stayed alone, the child would not survive.
I didn't expect that this cold-faced man, Mu Yu, who was usually difficult and harsh with me, would readily agree to my request.
I don't know who spread the news that me and Moyu were stuck in the village. Not long after that, people began coming to watch and ask for help. In the end, Chu Yu had no choice but to distribute all of his rations. In the end, we had to go out to hunt in order to maintain the food supply.
However, famine had struck this area. People had eaten everything they could eat, and even the grass roots and bark had been taken care of. How could there be a plentiful prey? Soon we couldn't even keep up our own rations, but it was a good thing that Fen Feather was a well-trained Taoist, he himself had learned the art of foraging, and could support himself by eating and drinking. Gaga was a firefly, and when fireflies were scarce, it would go off on its own to look for food; I alone, a man without meat, was the most terrible punishment in the world for me to endure starvation!
Today, I gnawed on the leftover chicken bones and looked outside at the flood of victims. I said in distress, "So many victims of disasters have surrounded our house every day without leaving. "Tell me, why didn't the imperial government send food to aid them?"
Finally, Yu said, "There was a drought in the north, so the imperial government must have put in some food for the disaster relief. However, the officials these days are corrupt, and all the supplies are being plundered in layers. I'm afraid only one thousandth of those affected will fall into the hands of the victims."
I was puzzled again. "Since there's nothing to eat here, why don't the victims migrate?" Although leaving home is a painful thing, but to go to other towns to request for help, we can always continue to live! "
"This is the Guanbei Basin, which is the closest town in three directions, southeast and west. It should be at least one and a half months walk away from here. As he headed north, the closest thing to him was the Dragon Reaching Mountain Pass. This was the first barrier that blocked him from entering the capital. After this barrier was the military fort of the Green Miao City. The imperial government was afraid that the invasion of the city would cause chaos, so they had already sent out heavy soldiers to guard the city. The victims were not allowed inside, so even if they went north, they would not be able to get help. So they have nowhere to go. "
I was stunned. "The court is so heartless? Do you mean to tell them to wait here to starve to death? "
Finally, Yu raised his eyebrows. "That's not something we can change." "You better hope for your own good, white boy. I don't think the victims will starve to death, but you will be caught and roasted!"
Ah?
I followed his gaze and couldn't help but be shocked … Indeed, outside the window, dozens of bright eyes were staring at me. The victims were looking at me as if I were a roasted chicken! Even though I have a Magical Beast Spell and the last feather will protect me, it isn't a happy thing for me to be watched by others like food. So I asked the last feather to remove the restrictive spell from my body and allow me to return to my human form.
"What are you doing?" Mu Yu frowned as he looked at me, "You aren't thinking of killing those victims again to avenge Luo's sister and mother again, are you?"
"No way! Stop talking so much, hurry up and release the forbidden technique! "
Finally, Yu gave me a puzzled look. In the end, he probably felt that I couldn't play any tricks right under his nose, so he finally released his forbidden technique.
I turned back into a young girl with two fox ears on my head. The crowd was stunned for a moment, then immediately panicked and fled in all directions … Of course, this is not because of how scary my appearance is, but because most of the ordinary mortals are afraid of monsters; they used to treat me as a food, but now that I'm a cannibal and have such horrible claws (I purposely turned them out to scare them), of course they're scared to death!
"Haha, let's see if you still dare to covet my beauty …" I ran my sharp claws through my silver hair.
Finally, Yu narrowed her eyes and sized me up, "Miss, you'd better get to the bottom of it. They aren't coveting your beauty, but your delicacy …"
Saying that, he casually took the black cloak and placed it on me.
I pulled up my cloak, a little embarrassed … Uh, I forgot to put on my clothes again! Really, he forgot about this every time he transformed!
That day, Chu Feng called me to his bedside and said, "I have something to do. I need you to stay here and take care of him. "Don't try to run away, I have a barrier outside the house. Of course, it will protect you too."
I nodded. "Where are you going?"
He said, "There are too many victims of this disaster. I'll go to Green Miao City and try it out and see if I can buy some food."
I was overjoyed... Green Seedling City was an important military town, so it should have a lot of food, right? As long as he was willing to show his face, he might be able to get some food back.
At night, Mu Yu really did bring back two carts of food. I immediately volunteered to feed the victims. Without saying anything further, Mu Yu handed me the bag full of food. "It's all here. If you want to do a good deed, then take it all."
This Peach Blossom Eyes is pretty straightforward …
I gave him an admiring wink, then dragged my bag to distribute the food. I took care of the old and the weak first, but not only did those weak looking kids rip open my pockets, they even chased after me with slingshots as if they were game …
I was chased to the point where my legs felt like they'd been broken in my sleep.
Seeing me lying on the bed feebly rubbing my sore feet, lastly Yu's beautiful peach blossom eyes contained a mischievous smile: "What? Was he being hunted down like a prey again? It's useless to make a beautiful woman out of it? "
