The person who answered her was a boy who looked to be in his teens.
But her thin face is sunken, and her eyes are a little timid.
Qing Hui glanced at the group of people. Most of them were young adults, with few elderly people and children, and even fewer women.
In these times, neither the elderly nor children can survive, and women have an even harder time.
Qing Hui once heard her master tell her about what he saw during his travels. He talked about the years of war and famine, when people died of hunger all over the fields, and they exchanged their children for food. Women and children were often just food, and the weak and the strong ate up. There was no difference between humans and wild beasts.p>
She thought it was incredible at the time.
She couldn't imagine that scene and didn't understand how such a thing could happen.
Until now, looking at the numb-looking people in front of me, they may not have reached the stage of exchanging their children for food, but the rotting corpses everywhere also indicate that it is not a legend.
"Where is your village?" Qing Hu asked the boy who answered.
The fact that they can stay here means that the village is not too far away. There is a canal passing through here. Even if there is no water to eat, they should be able to occasionally rob some passing merchant ships by chance.
If she guessed correctly, the people who were rebelling at the pier were those who organized robberies.
As for these refugees, they have no courage and just want to find a chance to make some food or find a way to leave Lingzhou.
Previously, the government was afraid that the disaster would be exposed and sent troops to guard the road to prevent them from running away. After Lian Jinchen and the others arrived, in order to provide disaster relief, they could not be allowed to run around to avoid causing more chaos.
Qing Hui waited for them to reply, but this time, the young man did not speak again.
No one spoke.
Qing Hui put down the child who could no longer move in his arms, took out a needle and pricked him a few times. His body twitched a few times, and he vomited a pile of yellow water mixed with black stuff.
The smell is intoxicating.
But the child's father burst into tears and limped over and took the child into his arms.
Then he knelt down and kowtowed to Qingshan with all his strength.
"Thank you, thank you, noble man, thank you..."
Their child was already sick. He could not see a doctor and had nothing to eat. He could only breathe.
He was also crazy, thinking that he was going to die on both sides, so he might as well try his luck, so he threw the child out regardless.
Unexpectedly, I really met a noble person and saved my life.
"If you want to live, take me to your village and I will let you live." Qing Hui said.
Everyone listened to her words, their faces still numb, and the only bit of light fell on their carriages.
Especially the two cars at the back, they were obviously pulling something.
"I'll take you there!" The middle-aged man holding the child stood up tremblingly, his voice rough but extremely firm.
It’s like believing that a miracle can really come to the world.
Qing Hua nodded, "Let's go, go now."
Liu Yingzhong was about to speak but hesitated, but still did not dare to say a word.
It wasn't until he saw that the middle-aged man was really leading the way and Qing Hui really followed him that he leaned over and asked softly, "What can you do? Can you ask for rain? If it doesn't rain, they will still do the same."
There is no hope, the government’s relief food will not last more than a few days.”
Even though a batch of money and food has just been sent from the capital, this amount of money and food is not enough for Lingzhou Prefecture alone, let alone the counties, towns and villages under the jurisdiction of Lingzhou Prefecture.
"Don't you want to be an official? I'll give you money, and you can raise a batch of grain and send it over. Isn't it difficult?" Qing Hui asked him.
