Shen Tang's inner ominous premonition was quickly confirmed.

This is indeed a huge evil wind.

The city was dilapidated, the streets were desolate, and the buildings still showed the charred traces of the raging fire, as if this place was a dead city with no human habitation. Shen Tang rode his motorcycle into the city and saw such a scene. After walking for a long time, he finally She saw several curled up figures digging around in the ruins. She jumped off the motorcycle and stepped forward without hesitation, trying to get closer to one of them.

"Lord——"

Xun Ding looked at Shen Tang nervously.

Shen Tang waved his hand to indicate that he shouldn't be too nervous.

"I'm fine, just taking a look."

If there was someone in the city who could threaten her life, the city would not be captured in less than half a day. Shen Tang put his hands on his knees, bent down, and came close to the old woman. The weather had not yet completely warmed up, and the old woman was wearing thin clothes. The outer layer of the jacket was frayed, and there was no reed filling inside. The exposed skin was covered in frostbite, and some of it was chapped and pus leaked out.

"Old woman, what are you doing?"

The old woman is old and her ears are not very sharp.

Shen Tang asked three times in a row, but there was no response from the other party. Her body was so thin that only a handful of bones were left, shivering in the cold wind. She raised her hand and took off her coat to cover the old man. Only then did the other party notice Shen Tang, trembling. He turned his head majestically.

Those were a pair of extremely cloudy eyes.

When she lowered her head and saw the clothes draped around her shoulders, she fell to the ground as if she had just woken up from a dream, hiding back in panic and fear. Only then did Shen Tang see clearly what the old man was holding on to, which was actually a bit of moss. Shen Tang He raised his hand and waved Xun Ding away, signaling him to stay further away, so as not to scare people with his big body. When the other party's mood stabilized, he said, "Old lady, can I ask you something?"

The old woman didn't know Shen Tang's purpose.

Shen Tang asked: "Where have the young men in the city gone?"

When attacking the city, Shen Tang carefully discovered that the defenders were all old veterans. Although there were generals guarding the city, they were all weak white-haired veterans. After entering the city, there were no young and strong figures. She There is a vague answer in my heart, but I don't dare to think about it.

The old woman's breath was unstable and her words were vague.

If you look carefully you can still hear what she said.

She said: "Gone, gone...all gone..."

The old woman carefully identified Shen Tang's clothes with cloudy eyes. Seeing that she was clean and decent, she suddenly knelt down on her knees, tried hard to close her knuckles that were covered with frostbite and could not be straightened, bowed and begged Shen Tang for food with tears in her eyes. . Shen Tang asked Xun Ding to bring the food. The old woman was so excited that she wanted to kowtow, but Shen Tang reached out and stopped her: "Old man, don't be like this -"

After getting the food, the old woman didn't eat it herself.

Instead, he waved to the ruins not far away.

After a while, a thin, dark figure crawled out and staggered to the old woman's side. The old woman carefully tore off a small piece and fed it to the child's mouth. People nearby who saw this scene also gathered around and faced Shen. Tang knelt down.

They all come to beg for food.

Of course, there are also people with fierce eyes.

But seeing the tall Xun Ding next to Shen Tang, she didn't dare to make a mistake. Shen Tang asked Xun Ding to part with all the dry food. At this time, she could no longer care about anything else. A more terrifying thought quietly emerged. At the same time,

It also made her feel like she had fallen into an ice cellar...

I'm afraid this city really has no youth.

Only the old people and children are left.

After a while, Xu Quan came over on horseback with a bad look on his face: "My lord, before we arrived, the local chief led the young men to retreat, and all the food and property in the city were looted and taken away. Before leaving, a fire was set off, and the buildings in the city were destroyed.

More than half of it was burned.”

Some families also hid food and could barely survive for a few days.

More people are facing the desperate situation of running out of food and ammunition.

The old woman next to me was just looking for moss in the corner. But she was old and frail, and what she found would be taken away by her body. When Xu Quan came, he also saw someone removing the mud from the lake wall, which was mixed with

Reeds and hay can satisfy hunger.

Shen Tang was shocked by the news brought by Xu Quan.

She murmured: "What you did is excellent, what you did is absolutely amazing!"

Shen Tang thought that the enemy chose to fortify the walls and clear the fields in order to defend and block their progress as much as possible. Little did he know that the enemy did more ruthlessly. They took away the young and strong, leaving behind the old and weak, and the city was depleted of ammunition and food. Shen Tang and others arrived too late.

Some people, are there any living people in this city? She looked at the people who almost came forward to grab the food and crazily stuffed it into their mouths after grabbing it, and she didn't dare to think about it.

"Yong'an, you go find your father and arrange for someone to set up a tent to serve porridge..." Shen Tang felt a little regretful at the moment for not bringing Lin Feng out. If she were here, the food pressure would be much less, but Lin Feng stayed around.

Baojun was also interested in cotton, so it was difficult to choose.

Xun Ding said: "Lord, our food is also..."

Shen Tang brought plenty of food.

Later, we also received two batches of supplies from the rear.

But according to the current situation, there is simply not enough food.

Shen Tang had no doubts: "Just do it!"

Xun Ding could only clasp his fists and respond: "I will obey your orders."

Shen Tang's actions were not hidden from the three allies.

Tao Yan clicked his tongue and said, "Our Mr. Shen really does what he says, but I don't know how much of your property can afford such a waste." There are also many old and weak people in the city.

The consumption of such an open mouth is not much less than that of the young and strong. The young and strong can fight for them after eating food, but feeding the old and the weak is useless. Tao Yan is making trouble at the moment, wishing that Shen Tang would give all

Food does this stupid thing without reward.

Shen Tang was in a very unhappy mood.

Tao Yan looked down at Tao Yan with side eyes: "Haha, filial sons and grandsons are starting to point at your ancestors' pockets? Even if I take your ancestors into the coffin, it won't be your turn to take advantage. I don't want your bean sprouts to be kicked again, so close it

Your backyard flower."

Tao Yan stared at Shen Tang with a livid face.

But he did not dare to continue provoking this time.

A beating by a mentally ill fool would be in vain.

What Shen Tang didn't expect was that she thought the three allies would look on coldly, but Qian Yong was the first to lend a helping hand. Of course, he didn't provide food - Qian Yong had relied on his classmates Zhang He and Zhang He in these years Providing food and money to secure territory, he helped the other party fight the war - basically he had to eat one meal and worry about the next. However, he still had some people on hand.

There's no problem in sending someone over to take action.

Shen Tang looked at him suspiciously and warily.

Qian Yong grinned and said: "Why is Mr. Shen so guarded? It's not like you are the only human being, the others are all beasts. But, to put it in a very unpleasant way, why is Mr. Shen doing such a thing? It’s thankless and unrewarding.”

Realizing that Qian Yong had no ill intentions, Shen Tang rarely let down his guard and responded calmly: "They are rewarded by living."

Qian Yong slapped his thigh and sighed: "Zhang Yongqing should really come over and see what the living great sage looks like."

Shen Tang thought he was being arrogant and didn't want to pay attention to him.

Unexpectedly, Qian Yong also took the initiative to explain: "I don't mean anything malicious by saying this. I am praising you. It's true. Although the relationship between our two families is not good, I have to tell the truth from the bottom of my heart - if you don't obey anyone in your life, I will obey you." The character of a young pear."

Qian Yong originally didn't want to intervene.

But when I saw that Shen Tang could not only talk but actually do it, I felt that I should do something. It looked so embarrassing.

If he can't provide food, he can just provide people.

Finally, he wanted to ask Shen Tang a question.

Qian Yong has been holding it in his heart for a long time.

"Does Mr. Shen have no worldly desires?"

Shen Tang: "???"

This question is somewhat dangerous.

Fortunately, Qian Yong's next words brought the topic in the normal direction: "People live their lives for fame and fortune, for nice cars and BMWs, or for beauties to add fragrance to their red sleeves... Mr. Shen seems to be too stoic and harsh on himself. This is really true." Not like a human being."

Shen Tang was silent for a while.

Youyuan said: "Actually, I love money very much."

Qian Yong suddenly thought that he had heard the tinnitus wrongly.

"love money?"

Shen Tang said helplessly: "Naihe is the fate of losing money."

Anyone who encounters such a group of weird scribes who waste their lordship will be in vain. What else can she do besides being devoid of desire? However, her truth became a perfunctory excuse in Qian Yong's ears. He also did not use Shen Tang's Take the answer to heart.

After Qian Yong left, Shen Tang turned to Gu Chi.

"Why do I feel like Uncle Qian is seducing me?"

Is this man deliberately trying to show his kindness to attract her attention?

Gu Chi selectively ignored it and extracted the key information: "He was just trying to show his kindness to his master and try to repair the relationship between the two families. The relationship between Qian Shuhe and Zhang Yongqing is subtle. The two are still in harmony on the surface, but they have frequent conflicts behind the scenes. Zhang Yongqing thought To get rid of Uncle Qian and this burden, doesn't he have to look for a new home? If the lord can accept him, it would be great..."

Qian Yong most wanted a piece of his own territory to take root in the business, but he was kicked out of the iron plate by Shen Tang, who seemed to be a soft persimmon, and his vitality was severely damaged. He continued to participate in the Dragon Slaying Bureau to take advantage of the opportunity to find a foothold, but at the moment

not much hope.
