Feeling that he had regained some strength, Sheng Changan slowly supported himself and walked down from the bed. When he reached the door, he found that Xiao Si was licking the bowl of porridge she had just drunk. Suddenly, he felt a little sad. This world is really not a place for people to live.

She was originally wondering how a little girl could become a county magistrate. It turned out that this place was a place that no one cared about and no one wanted to come here. It just so happened that she, who had no connection with the place, came to the door.

Who knew that on the second day after she took office, before she had figured out the environment, she encountered an enemy army pretending to be bandits, who threw a head directly into the original owner's arms. She was already weak from the long journey, and was caught off guard by a head thrown into her arms, causing her to suffocate and die of fright.

This place is located on the border, and the authorities don't care about it at all. They even reached an unwritten agreement with the enemy. Every year at this time, they would pretend to be bandits to rob food. In order to have food to rob every year, they would not even kill the people here unless someone could not hand over the food. Thinking of this, Sheng Changan slammed the door hard. They really didn't give people a way to survive.

Just as she slammed the door, it finally fell down under the weight, startling the child outside. He looked over in horror, tears streaming down his face. "I, I didn't mean to. There's still a little bit of liquid inside, and I don't want to waste it. Please don't chase me away, sir."

Seeing the child about to kneel down, Sheng Changan could only support him immediately and touch his head: "It's okay, I won't chase you away. What's your name?"

Looking at the washed-out bowl in his hand, she could only sigh silently. She remembered that the county government office seemed to have been robbed as well, and the few remaining items were left behind because those people looked down upon them.

The child "Goudan" looked at her timidly.

Sheng Changan twitched his lips. This name was really hard to describe. "Where are your parents?"

"No, it was the County Magistrate who picked me up and brought me back to take care of me."

Looking at the child's confused eyes, Sheng Changan felt overwhelmed. He was so thin and small, and he didn't know who would take care of whom! He was thinner than himself: "I'll give you a name! How about Changqing?"

Changqing nodded ignorantly. Although he could not read, he vaguely felt that Changqing sounded better than Goudan.

"How old are you?" After learning from the previous experience of the original owner, she didn't dare to guess other people's ages. The children here were probably older than she guessed.

Changqing counted his fingers and said, "Changqing is seven years old."

Seven years old. Children on Blue Star are still in elementary school at the age of seven, but here, seven-year-old children have already started learning to support themselves. Sheng Changan felt her throat dry. This era really made people feel hopeless. She could only touch his head and said, "Okay, go play!"

Chang Qing nodded and said, "I'm going to help Aunt Wu clean up the place and find food for the adults, otherwise they will starve."

Watching Changqing running away, Sheng Changan felt speechless at this moment. She couldn't imagine how many children like him there were. When food was so scarce, County Magistrate Wu could still take in this child, which showed that he was a decent person, although he was a little old.

However, there were only four people in the county government, including the Wu County Magistrate and his wife, Changqing, and myself: two elderly people, a child, and myself, who was frail. Thinking of this, Sheng Changan sighed countless times. At this rate, he might even starve to death.

Suddenly there was a loud noise and Sheng Changan sat down on the ground. It turned out that the stool could not bear the weight and fell down. She had just touched the edge. Sheng Changan rubbed her buttocks and looked at the debris on the ground. She suddenly sighed: There is still a dilapidated county government office.
