sit tight

Next, let the guards around him find the topographic map of Liangzhou and look at it.

At this time, Taifu came to Lin Changqing and asked him what to do next. Lin Changqing said, "What do you want to do, Taifu?"

Taifu said, "That's not easy. Distribute food and medicines per head, then make a list, and build houses in a unified way. It's over."

Lin Changqing smiled, "Teacher, your thinking is too simple. Didn't you see that there are two heavens inside and outside the city. The people outside the city are suffering from hunger and cold, while the people in the city are still running shops and singing and dancing. Things are not easy here."

Taifu frowned, his old face turned serious, "What does Master Lin mean?"

Lin Changqing said, "The imperial court allocated a large sum of supplies and silver. Why has the disaster been in the past two months, but there is still no effect. On the contrary, there are more and more victims, and the disease is spreading everywhere. The only thing Changqing can think of is that the disaster relief funds are not enough. It is not used on the victims."

Taifu nodded, "Master Lin is right, so what should we do next?"

Lin Changqing said, "It depends on the help of Master Taifu."

The Tai Tuo is very generous, "Your Majesty Lin, you are welcome. Originally, you and I are in a cooperative relationship. We will work together for the Holy Majesty. Let's talk about it."

Lin Changqing smiled, "Changqing intends to go to the place where the people in the countryside are most affected by the disaster, please stay here and take care of the relief supplies, the most important thing is to deal with Ji Yanxi and the others, don't let them find out that I am not in the station, so as not to arouse their suspicion."

The Taifu was shocked, and his small eyes widened, "Master Lin, when the plague is officially prevalent in the disaster area, it will be very dangerous for you to leave, and besides, will Ji Yanxi and the others not doubt you?"

Lin Changqing said, "Teacher don't need to worry too much. Changqing must ask to see it on the spot. You can't get the real situation if you stay here. As for Ji Yanxi and the others, they can hide it for as long as possible."

The old Taifu's face was tense, looking at Lin Changqing, the bad impression of him before began to loosen in his heart, "Master Lin, do you not plan to go back alive at all?"

Lin Changqing smiled, shining like stars, "No one is afraid of death, and Changqing is no exception. Going here, although there are some dangers, the chances are not high after all. If you take precautions, you should be fine."

The Taifu said, "Since Mr. Lin is determined to go, I will not stop you. I will do my best to cooperate with Mr. Lin. Don't worry."

Lin Changqing was very satisfied, "Then please leave it to Mr. Taifu."

Tai Tu forced a smile, "It's all right."

Lin Changqing saw the embarrassment of the Taifu, and said, "Every time in the court, the Taifu would object to what Changqing said. This time the Taifu was very cooperative. Could it be that Changqing is no longer an embroidered pillow?"

The Taifu was feeling uncomfortable, and when he was provoked by Lin Changqing, he couldn't hold back his old face anymore, he got up and blew his beard and stared at Lin Changqing, "Master Lin is really good at joking, why is this officer cooperating with you, what does it matter to you to work for the emperor, you are No matter how well it is made, it is an embroidered pillow with no appearance." After speaking, he walked away.

Lin Changqing looked at the wizened figure of the Taifu who turned his head away, smiled noncommittally, and looked down at the map.

The sky outside the window darkened, Lin Changqing simply ate dinner, told the guards around him, told him that he was too tired and would not see customers tomorrow, so just let him guard outside the gate, the guards took the order and went out.

Lin Changqing took off the government office, took out a set of ordinary coarse cloth gowns from his bag, and put them on. He also blackened his face with charcoal powder, tied his hair tightly, put on a headband, and turned into an ordinary person. look like.

A short knife was pinned to his waist for self-defense, and some loose silver and a few pieces of dry food were stuffed in his arms.Put on your dungaree boots and get ready to hit the road.

When he was about to open the door, a person flew down from the beam of the room, Peng Yue stopped Lin Changqing's hand who was about to open the door, and said, "Master Lin, have you thought about where to go?"

Lin Changqing didn't look at him, but just nodded.

Peng Yue added, "This subordinate is willing to go with Lord Lin."

Lin Changqing turned to look at him, "Between the general, you are not afraid of going or not coming back?"

Peng Yue sneered, "Since you can go, you can come back. Besides, the emperor wants me to stay close to Mr. Lin, so how dare my subordinates let you go out alone?"

Lin Changqing said, "Okay, let's go together."

Peng Yue stretched out his hand to pull Lin Changqing, but Lin Changqing blocked his hand and said, "General Peng, you don't have to trouble me to fly with me this time, I'm afraid of heights,"

Peng Yuejun blushed, remembering that night he pulled Lin Changqing out of the bed and flew into the emperor's bedroom with lightness kung fu behind his back. He knew everything about that day clearly.

Peng Yue let go of Lin Changqing, reached out to open the door, and walked out first, followed by Lin Changqing.

The two went out from the side door, and the journey was smooth.Because they are all dressed up by ordinary people, no one pays attention to them on the street.The two left the city, rode on the two steeds that Lin Changqing had arranged at the gate of the city, and galloped away.

When they were children, the two finally arrived at a village next to the Yangtze River embankment.After getting off the horse, the two walked forward stepping on the mud under their feet.

One foot deep and one foot shallow, finally arrived at the village with lights.Taking advantage of the unclear moonlight, Lin Changqing was stunned by the sight in front of him.

Because of the flood, the houses in the whole village basically collapsed, and only a few houses built on high ground survived.The air is filled with the smell of silt and rotting dead animals and plants. On the collapsed ruins are the clothes and furniture of the people, which have been soaked and deformed for a long time.

The two tied the horse to an old tree with only the trunk left at the entrance of the village, and walked towards the village.

The flood has long passed, the surface of the river is sparkling, except for the sound of running water, the silence is terrible, and the breath of death is getting stronger, Lin Changqing feels chills in his heart.He looked at Peng Yue, Peng Yuejun's face was tense, and he could see that he was also very surprised by the scene in front of him.

Speechless all the way, I walked uphill with difficulty, and finally arrived at a house with lights.

Lin Changqing's shoes were covered with mud on his trouser legs. When he came to the dry land and rubbed his shoes in the grass, his feet finally became lighter.

Peng Yue knocked a few times on the door tied together with only a few planks. After a while, someone came to open the door. It was an old woman over [-] years old.

With a wrinkled face, the old man looked at the two of them defensively, "Young Master, what's the matter?"

Lin Changqing stepped forward and clasped his fists, "Old man, the two of us are travelers passing through this place. The night is heavy and the weather is cold. I want to ask the old man to take me in for a night." After speaking, he took out a certain amount of money from his bosom and handed it to the old man.

When the old man saw Yinzi, he forgot his precautions and opened the door to let them in.

The room is simply furnished, with a wooden table, a few wooden stools, and several spiritual tablets in the main hall, covered with a white cloth.

The old man let them enter the house, stooped, went to the back room to bring them a worn-out quilt, and said, "My lords, let me be wronged tonight, there is only this quilt."

Lin Changqing said it was all right, the old man looked at their company and went back to the back room.

The quilt was spread on the ground, Lin Changqing was about to lie down, Peng Yue stood in the middle of the room, his handsome face was tense, he walked slowly to the door of the inner room where the old man entered, stood there for a while, and suddenly kicked the room open door, there were several screams from inside.

Lin Changqing quickly got up from the ground and walked to Peng Yue's side.Seeing the flickering light in the living room, the dim candlelight, and the scene in the inner room, Lin Changqing's stomach was churning, and he ran outside the door covering his mouth and vomited.

Peng Yue's expression was tense, and his eagle-like eyes looked at the person on the bed in the room without blinking.

Sitting next to the old man was a six or seven-year-old boy, who held a bloody severed arm in his hand.There was no time to chew and swallow the flesh and blood, which remained along the corner of the boy's mouth.In the wooden basin on the bed, there was still a human head and pieces of meat that could not be seen.The smell of blood filled the room.

The old man shrank at the foot of the bed in fright, covering his head and not daring to look at Peng Yue.Peng Yue came in and snatched the broken arm from the boy and threw it into the tub, then pulled the boy off the bed and threw it on the ground.The boy burst into tears because of the pain caused by the fall.

Peng Yue walked to the bed, grabbed the old man's arm, pulled her off the bed, grabbed her arms, and prevented her from moving. Peng Yue's eyes were burning, and his tone was extremely cold. He asked the old man, "What are you doing?" What?"

Hell on Earth 2

The old man looked at the crying grandson on the ground, his legs gave way, and he knelt down for Peng Yue.

"Master, please forgive me, the old woman really has no choice but to let that child eat human flesh."

Peng Yue let her go and looked down at the old man, "What's going on, tell me quickly!"

The old man burst into tears and said, "I don't know. Old woman, I had a good life with my son and daughter-in-law, and my daughter-in-law gave birth to a grandson. The family is also harmonious and peaceful. Two months ago, a sudden heavy rain broke the dam. The village was hit by a disaster, the houses were damaged, the crops failed, and the chickens, ducks and livestock were washed away by the flood. Fortunately, my house was built on a high place, and I finally escaped unharmed, but the day the flood came, my son and daughter-in-law were still working on the geography , was washed away by the flood, the flood passed, and my son’s body was found three days later, soaked beyond recognition. Poor my son, he still held his wife’s hand when he died.” Speaking of this, the old man stopped and cried stand up.

After Lin Changqing vomited outside, when he heard the movement inside, he came in and helped the old man to sit on a stool in the living room outside, and pulled the boy out to stand in front of the old man.

The old man took his grandson's hand and continued, "The heavy rain has stopped, the flood has passed, and few people in the village were killed or injured. Many people died because there was no food. In the end, only me and The little grandson, there is another family, his family escaped a few days ago."

Lin Changqing was puzzled, "Escape?"

The old man said, "Yes, half a month after the flood, only a few state officials threw us a few bags of grain symbolically and left."

Lin Changqing said
