The man stared wide-eyed, looked at Chu Yunyao in horror, and stammered: "Little brother, you, are you from the Feng family?"
Chu Yunyao smiled brightly, "No, this sign was picked up on the road. I heard that it is a guest of the Feng family. You can come in and out at will. You can try your luck. If you are lucky, you might get out."
The man looked at him hesitantly: "What about you?"
"I was brought in by a friend, so of course it can also be taken out by a friend, so don't worry about me."
Hearing what Chu Yunyao said, the man bowed to him, and ran away quickly holding the sign.
Chu Yunyao stood up, "Let's go to a remote village and see how these people live."
The two bought a horse and ran to the countryside. Before they had run far, they saw people on the side of the road who were too hungry to stand up.
It's already late autumn, but everyone is naked.
A peasant woman in ragged clothes was digging the grass roots on the edge of the soil slope, and the child who was waiting to be fed beside her cried from time to time, and she was very skinny.
Seeing this tragic situation, Yun Jiu couldn't bear it, took out her purse, and was about to throw it to the peasant woman. When she looked up, she saw several men lying on the other side of the mountain, staring at their horses in a daze. There was a terrible light in it.
Yun Jiu thought about it: "Master, do you want to give the peasant woman with a child some money so that she can buy some food for the child?"
Chu Yunyao frowned and refused: "I ran all this way and didn't even see a shop that buys and sells things. Even if I have money, where can she buy things? What's more, once I give it to her, she is not far behind. Those people who are there will come around."
The feeling of being extremely hungry is too uncomfortable.
When encountering bandits with no bottom line, they may even be able to eat people.
Chu Yunyao turned the horse's head.
Yun Jiu didn't understand, so: "Young master, didn't you say you're going to the suburbs? We've only run so far, so we're going back?"
When Chu Yunyao saw those men coming after them, she whipped her horse and dismounted.
The horse suffered from pain and ran like lightning.
Chu Yunyao said: "Even the people near the city are living like this, and the people farther away from the city are not much better."
Yun Jiu asked curiously: "Master, along the way, most of the people we saw were old and weak women and children. Where did those men go? In such a large area just now, there were only a few young men. Still missing arms and legs and disabled."
Chu Yunyao smiled coldly: "Where can I go? Those men are the ones who run faster on the battlefield.
In order to win, Feng Baizhe didn't even leave himself a retreat. "
Most of those people thought that they could receive salaries from the Feng family to support their family, so they signed up to go to the front line one after another, but they didn't expect to be treated as human shields.
Yun Jiu felt his hair stand on end, and his whole body felt cool.
All the way back to Feng Mansion in silence.
It was the time when the sun was setting, and the blue sky was covered with a fiery cloud-like sunset glow. The golden halo fell on the resplendent and resplendent mansion, and it was dyed with a faint glow, as if it had coated the mansion with a layer of light. layers of gold.
Stand tall.
As soon as he stepped into the door of the guest room, the eunuch who was serving people came over again, "Young Master Yun, the Patriarch heard that you are back, and ordered the servants to come and invite you to the main hall for dinner."
Chu Yunyao and Yun Jiu didn't eat much at noon, and ran around again, so they were quite hungry at the moment.
She nodded slightly, "Please wait for a moment, we will change our clothes and we will be there soon."
