After raising a cub, the prince's wife became famous all over the world

Chapter 107 Encounter on the road

"If we run out of food, we'll go get more."

Qin Chaoyan gritted her teeth, and the discomfort in her stomach became even stronger. When people are in difficult circumstances, they will indeed do all kinds of unscrupulous things.

At that time, people who do such things can no longer be called human beings, but beasts in human form.

"Doesn't the court care about this?"

"We can manage it, and we are managing it, but during disaster years, there are many things that we are unable to manage, and it is difficult for people to survive."

As soon as Wei Chu said this, Qin Chaoyan remembered the scene when she first walked on Suzaku Street, the most prosperous street in Kyoto, more than two months ago.

That was the capital of Da Qi, and the most prosperous commercial street in the capital. The people there had sallow complexions, chapped lips, and no sign of life on their faces.

And the scene when she first met Emperor Qi. The Lord of Qi was extremely thin, and his hair was a little dry and yellow.

And there are many more, those memories that she had pushed into the corner and ignored, came flooding back page by page.

At the beginning, wasn't it because she saw the difficulties in their lives that she made up her mind to bring rain to Daqi?

Thinking about it now, everything she saw at the time was too superficial.

What she saw was the plight of the best-off families in Daqi, their chapped lips and dry hair, and the heavy smell on their bodies that had to be covered up with incense.

However, she did not think about what kind of adverse impact this disaster would bring to people. She did not think that if the upper class people were having such a hard time, what about the people at the bottom?

They will live a life of even greater suffering.

Qin Chaoyan pursed her lips and spoke again, her voice slightly choked.

"Well, now it has rained and there is water, crops can be planted in the fields, and hasn't the imperial court also issued disaster relief silver and grain to the counties?"

Qin Chaoyan asked: "The lives of the people should be getting better, not to the point of..."

"Yes, once this kind of situation is discovered, the person will be sent to prison and executed." Wei Chu said, "It should be someone nearby who has become addicted to eating it and can't change it..."

Wei Chu couldn't continue talking, and didn't want to bring up this topic in front of Qin Chaoyan.

He could see that she looked very unhappy. She must have never heard of such a vicious act and was frightened.

"I have asked Shen An to pass this matter to the county magistrate in charge of this area. If we can find that group of people before leaving, we will not let them go."

"Don't worry, these evil people will not have a good end."

Qin Chaoyan nodded. At this time, Jia San, who was on duty, woke up. He looked around and saw that a quarter had passed, so he got up in a hurry.

"My Lord, please go and rest. I overslept. Next time, I will sleep a quarter of an hour less."

His action startled Wei Chu. He looked at Qin Chaoyan in front of him. She made a funny look at him, removed the isolation barrier, used the teleportation talisman on herself, and returned to the place where Wei Zhao and the others were resting.

Wei Chu watched his movements, then looked at Jia San who had come to him to exchange duty, and asked, "Did you see anything just now?"

Jia San rubbed his eyes and said, "Nothing, sir. Is there something dirty?" He said, "Sir, please go to rest. I will be extra careful when I am on duty and will not let any dirty things get close to me."

Wei Chu coughed lightly and said, "It's nothing. Those people not far away can't move. They are brothers in the palace."

"Don't worry, sir. You told me several times before we set out. I know what I am doing and I won't confuse the enemy with my teammates."

Seeing Jia San about to urge him to rest again, Wei Chu glanced in Qin Chaoyan's direction and said, "Just shout if there's anything."

"Don't worry, sir."

The night passed peacefully. When the sky began to lighten, everyone in the deserted temple woke up.

Wei Chu and his five companions were used to a high-intensity work and rest schedule, but Wei Zhao and his companions were not yet used to sleeping outdoors and did not sleep well last night. As soon as the sun rose and they heard any movement, they all woke up.

As for Qin Chaoyan, she set an internal alarm on 425 and forced herself to wake up.

After getting up, the group washed and packed up. They had dry food for breakfast. After everything was almost ready, they continued on their journey.

After a night of heavy rain, the road was muddy. They had just walked less than five miles out of the deserted temple when they saw a woman staggering towards them.

She almost stumbled as she walked, falling to the ground after two or three steps, then struggling to move forward. She seemed to be mumbling something.

When Qin Chaoyan and his car drove up to her, they could hear clearly what she was mumbling.

"Saya, my Sanya..."

At this time, several women who looked stronger caught up with her and stopped the skinny woman. She looked frail, but the women who came later almost couldn't stop her.

They did try to stop her for a while, but the skinny woman broke free in an instant.

"Let me go! Let me go! My San Ya!"

She seemed to have thought of something, then turned around and ran in the direction she came from.

The women who couldn't stop her sighed, and someone said, "Is this Shugen family going back to the village?" "I didn't expect she was so strong." "Okay, okay, since she's back, let's go back too. We still have a lot of work to do at home."

Qin Chaoyan had a feeling that something was going on, so she took the initiative to talk to these women.

"Sisters, we are just passing by. Do you live nearby? We have been traveling for a long time and are thirsty. I wonder if we can follow you back to the village to ask for some water to drink?"

As soon as Qin Chaoyan opened her mouth, Wei Chu vaguely guessed her intention. He gave Zhang Ping a look, and Zhang Ping immediately stepped forward and took out a piece of dry food biscuit from his pocket.

"Ladies, could you please give us a favor?"

The people led by Goushengniang saw that there were many children in Qin Chaoyan's group, some of them were good-looking and tender children, and there was also the first young girl who spoke to them.

Gou Sheng Niang refused and said, "My lady, our village is quite far from here. You should go somewhere else to find water to drink."

As soon as she spoke, the others nodded in agreement.

"Yeah yeah."

"Our village is remote and not easy to get to."

Qin Chaoyan also saw them swallowing their saliva at the dry food biscuit given by Zhang Ping, but no one reached out to take it.

"Hurry up, set off now, you still have horses to pull you along, and you'll be able to reach the nearest county town by around noon."

"Auntie, we are really thirsty and want to drink some water." Wei Zhao said.

Qi Cheng and Xiao Changkong also said, "Yes, yes, we haven't had any water since last night, and our throats are so uncomfortable."
