Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Madam Bai looked at her and said, "You are... I remember now, you are that Xiaoli! Girls change a lot when they grow up."

Xiaoli smiled slightly and said, "Sister Bai, come with me upstairs! There's a place upstairs specifically for receiving distinguished guests."

Lin Wanwan looked at Xiaoli with some curiosity. Xiaoli also saw her and said, "Sister Bai, is this your granddaughter? She's so beautiful! She looks exactly like you."

Madam Bai smiled faintly and said:

"Oh! Both of my sons are gone, and my daughter is nowhere to be found. This is my goddaughter.

But I treat her as my own granddaughter."

Xiaoli looked at Madam Bai and said, "Sister Bai, I went to Bianjing to look for you later, but I came back empty-handed. How could this happen?"

Mrs. Bai sighed, and Xiaoli continued, "That woman must have done it all, right? She almost beat me to death back then, too. I didn't expect she'd still be so cruel and ruthless."

Lin Wanwan pricked up her ears and listened. Who was this woman referring to? Could it be Su Daji?

Sure enough, she heard Madam Bai pat her hands and said, "She is now the imperial concubine in the palace..."

"I can't believe that a woman like her could become a royal concubine." Xiaoli gritted her teeth in anger.

"Alright! Let's not talk about this anymore. We'll just stay here for a few days and then we'll go back to Beijing."

Xiaoli looked at her and said:

"Sister Bai, do you still want to go back to Bianjing? Bianjing is in chaos right now. I advise you to stay here.

The Longhu Gang is growing bigger and bigger now. If you're willing to stay, I can help you."

"It is indeed safe here for the time being, but the Holy Heart is unpredictable, so the Longhu Gang still has to keep a low profile." Madam Bai said softly.

Along the way, the Longhu Gang really shocked them, and Lin Wanwan also felt that the Longhu Gang was extraordinary.

It's like a small country. Which country would allow such a place? It's like a bomb that can explode at any time.

Xiaoli pursed her lips and smiled, "This is not our business. I'm just a small manager. It's not easy for me to make a living."

"Yes, let's not worry about that." Seeing that Xiaoli didn't want to talk about this, Mrs. Bai changed the subject.

They didn't care about the origin of the Longhu Gang. What Mrs. Bai cared about now was how to return to Bian Jing safely.

What should they do after arriving in Bianjing?

Soon, the sound of "Yiyaya" was heard outside, and everyone started listening to the opera.

Lin Wanwan wanted to listen to the opera carefully, but the babbling sound was so hypnotic that she fell asleep soon after.

When she woke up, she was back at the camp.

Master Bai was surrounded by the slaves he had bought. "Baiyin, why are you here?"

"Shirayuki, wuwuwu... wuwuwu... You don't even know what kind of life we're living! I'm really miserable."

"Master Bai..."

Baiyin pushed them away in disdain and said:

"Could you please stop wiping your tears and snot on me?

Oh! I know you are suffering, isn’t this saving you? "

"Then... aren't we selling ourselves to you now?" Lord Liu pulled his sleeve and said, "Baiyin, you have to take good care of us!"

Bai Yin quickly shook off his hand and said, "Master Liu, we are not familiar with each other..."

Lord Liu hugged his arm and said, "Old man, we slept on the same bed together when we were drunk, and you completely forgot about me. Are you still human?"

"Hiss... Prime Minister Liu, you bastard, you're still bringing this up. I have nothing to do with you." Bai Yin said helplessly, "Alright, alright, how did you all end up in this situation?"

The lowest rank here is 5th rank and above. Lord Liu sighed and said:

"Don't you know what the court is like now?

We are still lucky! Many people have had their heads chopped off."

"If the ruler wants his subjects to die, they must die. Isn't that how we are? Without a wise ruler, it's useless to say anything."

Master Bai looked at them and asked, "So what are you going to do now?"

Lord Liu looked at him and said, "No, you took in Li Dongyang, why don't you take me in?"

Li Dongyang twitched his lips and said:

“Master Liu, I have sold my body now, but… you are also slaves, I almost forgot.

We are all the same now.”

Liu Xiang was so angry that his face turned pale: "How dare you talk to me like that?"

Li Dongyang said cheerfully, "Prime Minister Liu, you are no longer the Prime Minister."

"Oh!" Liu Xiang sighed.

Master Bai looked at them and said:

“If you have a good way out, you don’t have to stay here with me. I will set you free.

If you don't want to leave, just follow us. We plan to return to Bianjing and buy a few large manors to settle down in."

Prime Minister Liu looked at Master Bai and said:

"Baiyin, what do you want to do when you return to Bianjing?

Are you planning a rebellion?"

Master Bai's beard curled straight up:

"No, what on earth are you thinking? Does the word rebellion look like it's written all over my face?

What kind of rebellion are you doing? Who can we defeat? You are just a bunch of old, weak, and sick people. Do you want to fight the demon concubine?

Liu Xiang said sullenly, "I can't let that damn woman have an easy time. I'm going to Bian Jing too. I'm yours now, and you have to be responsible for me."

"Hey! You're still blaming me. You didn't sell your body to me, you sold it to our Wanwan." Master Bai directly carried Lin Wanwan out: "See? This will be your little mistress from now on."

Liu Xiang was speechless and said, "Baiyin, you really can do this. You want us to work for a little girl. What are you thinking?"

"If you don't want to, forget it. What's the point of calling her a little girl? If you don't want to, you can leave now." Master Bai hugged Lin Wanwan and said, "Wanwan saved our lives, so naturally we are biased."

At first they had nothing to eat or drink. If it weren't for the candy, how could they get food?

But this Naitang only listens to Lin Wanwan, so doesn’t that mean Lin Wanwan saved them?

Liu Xiang looked at Lin Panpan and sighed, "Alright! We have nowhere to go. I heard the disaster is serious now. What's going on?"

They had been arrested for several months and had no idea what was happening outside.

Master Bai's face was filled with sorrow. He slowly raised his head, looked into the distance, and sighed heavily.

"This year, the heavens seem to be angry. There is unrest everywhere. The situation in those remote provinces is truly horrific!

The crops failed, the people suffered terribly, and vast tracts of farmland lay barren and cracked, with no sign of life at all.

"Except for the Jiangnan area, which is still able to hold on thanks to its geographical advantage of being a water town, all other places have suffered.

We are close to Jiangnan, so we are lucky enough not to have been affected by the disaster. Master Bai paused and continued:

“But those hardest-hit areas were truly hell on earth, and it was incredibly difficult for us to escape all the way here.

Along the way, starving people were everywhere, and dead bodies were seen everywhere on the roadside. No one collected them, and wild dogs gnawed at them.

"Trading children for food!" Master Bai's body trembled slightly.

"In order to survive, those poor parents had the heart to exchange their own flesh and blood with others, just to eat a bite of human flesh to fill their stomachs.

That was their child! It was this damn famine that had driven people to lose their humanity.
