Three girlfriends traveled through ancient times and killed people
Chapter 13 Street Chaos
After turning left and right, it took a long time to reach the dining hall.
"Miss Liu, please."
"Thank you, Butler Yun." Liu Rumei walked in confidently.
"Someone, serve the meal." Butler Yun shouted to the people outside the door.
The food had already been prepared in the kitchen, and as soon as the butler called, someone brought the food to the table.
There are no big fish or meat, no delicacies from land and sea, just simple porridge and side dishes.
Liu Rumei didn't mind. She was not picky about food and as long as she was full, it was fine.
In modern times, when she was busy, she had no time to eat, and most of the time she just filled her stomach with bread and milk.
Butler Yun was afraid that Miss Liu would be dissatisfied with the arrangements made in the palace because of the food, but he didn't expect that she didn't dislike it at all and started eating by picking up the chopsticks.
Liu Rumei ate very quickly and finished the bowl of porridge and the plate of side dish.
"I'm done eating, little girl, let's go out for a walk." To help digest the food.
Liu Rumei is not from the palace, so Butler Yun will not stop her from going out.
"Miss, would you like to take a carriage?" The prince instructed that Miss Liu was a distinguished guest in the mansion and should not be neglected.
"No, I can just walk. Thank you for your kindness, Steward Yun." It was my first time in ancient times, and it would be boring to ride in a carriage. It would be better to walk so that I could enjoy the scenery along the way.
Xiao Ya followed behind Liu Rumei.
On both sides of the market are teahouses, taverns, pawnshops, and workshops. There are also many small vendors with big umbrellas on the open spaces on both sides. Teahouses, hotels, and fortune-telling stalls.
It is indeed the street market that should have existed in ancient times, but it is a bit strange, as if something is missing.
Yes, there are no small vendors selling food. The ancient street markets on TV had a lot of snacks.
Liu Rumei had some doubts and asked immediately, "Xiao Ya, why is no one selling food?"
"Miss Liu is not from Wuqi Country, right?!"
"Well, I'm not."
"No wonder, young lady, you don't know that Wuqi Country is in trouble now."
"Oh? What do you say?"
"Locusts are infesting the land. The crops and rice fields planted by farmers have all been eaten by locusts. People have no harvest. The price of rice has risen to one hundred taels per bushel. It's a problem to even feed ourselves. Where will anyone sell food?" The little girl felt compassion for the people.
Her father sold her for only a little flour, but no rice.
"??? Locusts??? Just because of this? The price of rice has risen to 100 taels per dou?? Are you kidding me?"
"It's true, girl. You have never seen those locusts in the fields. They are so densely packed that it's scary." Xiao Ya's family also farms, and that kind of scene gives her goose bumps.
There have been locusts in previous years, but for some reason there are so many locusts this year, and they are super big.
“Is there no one applying pesticides?”
"Girl, what are pesticides?" The little girl had never heard of spraying pesticides.
In previous years, we caught the insects in the fields directly with our hands, and used scarecrows to drive away the flying ones.
There are so many locusts this year that previous methods are ineffective.
“Pesticides are drugs that kill insects.”
“Oh…” The little girl seemed to understand but not quite.
"Young lady, please be kind and give me something to eat! I haven't eaten my own rice for three days." A beggar woman walked up to Liu Rumei.
It's not that she didn't want to give it, but she didn't have anything to eat at the moment! "I don't have anything to eat."
"Girl, please, be kind and give me some money!" If there is nothing to eat, money will do. This beautiful girl looks like someone who has no shortage of money.
Liu Rumei felt really sorry for her, so she reached out and took off the earrings from her ears. "I don't know how much this is worth, so I'll give it to you!"
The old woman took the earrings with both hands and held them tightly in her hands. "Thank you, young lady. Thank you, young lady." It was obvious that these earrings were worth a lot of money.
When the others saw that the old woman wanted a pair of earrings, they all rushed over.
Liu Rumei and Xiao Ya were immediately surrounded by people.
"Girl, please be kind! My old man and my family haven't eaten a grain of rice for two days."
"Girl, please be kind! I haven't eaten a grain of rice in two days."
"Girl, please be kind! My daughter is dying, please save us!"
"Girl, girl."
"girl……"
The noisy noise made Liu Rumei's head almost explode.
Someone in the crowd pushed her and pulled the hairpin off her head.
Someone grabbed her clothes and she couldn't leave. She looked miserable.
It's horrible. She just gave a pair of earrings and it caused a commotion.
These people hadn't eaten for several days. Seeing Liu Rumei's generosity, it was like they saw hope of survival. As long as Liu Rumei gave them silver or jewelry, they could exchange them for some rice. No one wanted to die, and everyone was afraid of death.
Just when Liu Rumei was about to fall, she was pulled into a stiff embrace and lifted into the air.
Liu Rumei looked up and saw Xiao Qingran's face.
This is the ancient Qinggong, it feels so amazing.
Liu Rumei hugged Xiao Qingran's waist tightly, fearing that she would fall if she lost her grip.
Xiao Qingran's body stiffened and he almost fell down.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and the two of them landed safely on the second floor of the teahouse.
"Is everything okay?"
"It's okay." Xiao Qingran arrived just in time. Liu Rumei's hair was messy and her clothes were a little dirty, but she didn't suffer any substantial damage.
"Don't give them anything next time. This is only treating the symptoms and not the root cause. There are millions of refugees and you can't save them all by your own efforts." Xiao Qingran disagreed with her approach.
"There are tens of thousands of refugees, and we should save as many as we can." As a doctor in her previous life, Liu Rumei's mission of saving the dying and healing the wounded was already deeply rooted in her mind. It was one thing to do when she couldn't see them, but she couldn't just sit back and do nothing when she saw them. "As a prince, are you going to watch these people starve to death? You are too hard-hearted."
She even wanted to sleep with him.
It’s better not to have such an inhuman man.
"How dare you! Do you know that our prince..."
"Yunshan, step back."
"Your Majesty."
"This king asks you to withdraw."
"Hmph." Yunshan glared at Liu Rumei with dissatisfaction and left angrily.
Liu Rumei glared back and said, "Don't think he is the only one with big eyes."
"It's not that I won't save you, but that I can't."
Is he explaining this to her?
"Why can't you save them? Don't you have food stored in your huge palace for them to eat?" Liu Rumei didn't believe it.
Xiao Qingran shook his head in frustration, "This prince's palace really doesn't have any surplus food."
"You are lying. There is no food left. Then what was the porridge I ate this morning? Was it air?" The man's mouth is a lie.
"That was cooked with the little rice left in the palace. In such a huge palace, there are only two or three dou of rice left. Even I only eat one bowl of porridge every two days."
"Only one bowl of porridge every two days?" Liu Rumei couldn't believe it. As a woman, she had to eat one or two bowls of porridge for every meal. How could a grown man like him bear to eat only one bowl every two days?
He doesn't look like he's lying.
And his complexion was also very ugly.
Well! It seems that she misunderstood this prince.
Could it be that she traveled to a country experiencing famine?
In a famine, there is no food and everyone is in danger.
"Yes." Xiao Qingran was helpless.
