Su Yan was very happy to be able to follow him, and he could finally be with Brother Murong.

Su Yue walked on Murong Li's left hand side, and Su Yan walked on Murong Li's right hand side. She glanced at him from time to time, and the indelible admiration in her eyes almost overwhelmed him.

It's a pity that Murong Li didn't notice it, he just smiled and followed Su Yue's gaze.

The group walked around a street, and Su Yue bought some vegetable seeds, grain seeds, dozens of water bladders, and large wooden barrels that could hold two to three hundred kilograms of water.

Entering the northwest, not only food but also water are indispensable.

Su Yue even bought a lot of grain seeds. They will all farm in the future. How can they plant without seeds?

The grain here is actually the grain that farmers have just collected and sells it. They collect part of the grain to pay taxes, keep the grain for the next year, use the remaining part for their own consumption, and sell the rest.

The money sold was used to buy supplies for the winter or exchange them for cheaper food.

What Su Yue bought was the part they sold.

In addition, Caixia bought some household items for girls, while Su Yan only bought some hair flowers for little girls.

As for Su Yue, there are many things for girls in the space, so she doesn't need to buy them.

When the shops were about to close, everyone went back happily.

It was peaceful all night, and early the next morning, the team set off to the northwest.

Now that everyone has food and a carriage, the journey becomes faster.

Five days later, the team began to slowly approach the northwest edge, and the scene here gradually began to deteriorate.

Although the weather is no longer so hot and it has begun to turn into autumn, the weather here is still dry and hot, and it is difficult to see rivers with water.

The trees on the mountain are all wilted and lifeless.

Some people felt extremely sad when they saw this situation. This situation has not even entered the northwest region. It is still the same situation. What will it be like if it really comes to the northwest?

Many people began to waver. They knew that this exile team was actually out of control, and they wanted to find another way out.

Moreover, on the road at this time, there were one after another people fleeing the famine, dragging their families and their families towards the capital.

They were sallow, skinny, and skinny, and looked more like exiles than they did.

When several families saw this situation, they came to see Leader Zhang and were unwilling to leave again.

Leader Zhang had no choice but to ask Su Yue and Murong Li for instructions, and they immediately agreed, even if those families didn't want to go with them.

It's just that those households don't count as arriving at the destination, and they can only figure out their own solutions to household registration issues.

I think those companies had no shortage of money, so they had the idea of ​​​​leaving the team. After all, as long as there is money, you can find a solution.

Besides, in this place in the northwest, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, who will care about those insignificant families in exile?

After Leader Qin and Leader Zhang completely surrendered to Murong Li and Su Yue, they were eager to throw away those hot potatoes.

In the end, the Su family, the Yun family, the family of Imperial Physician Xie, and dozens of servants were left, adding up to about a hundred people.

Three more days passed, and we had almost entered the northwest region. We only saw the endless desert, with a few old trees scattered on the desert, and a few leaves on the trees fluttering in the wind, which looked so vicissitudes of life.

When everyone saw this scene, their hearts dropped to the core.

At this time, large numbers of refugees can be seen.

When the small number of refugees saw such a large team and the guards with swords, no one dared to come forward.

In the afternoon of that day, dozens of miles into the northwest region, the team was preparing to set up camp and make fire for cooking.

Unexpectedly, before they started to light a fire to cook, a group of fleeing teams swarmed up and surrounded their team.

Leaders Qin and Zhang waved their hands, and with their servants drawing their swords, they rushed to the leader of the escape team.

Leader Qin shouted sternly: "You are so brave, you dare to intercept the government servants."

The leader of the escape team was an old man in his sixties. He squinted at the people in the team and saw that they were all in high spirits. There were so many carriages and even escorts. He wondered where the officials must have come from.

.

Seeing the wheels of the carriage sinking deeply into the ground, his eyes were already full of greed. He was not afraid at all and said: "We are all starving to death. It doesn't matter whether you are an official or not. If you don't put the food in today's

Stay and just step over the corpses of us."

They still didn't dare to fight the officials head-on, so they cheated on them, threatened with death, and surrounded them to prevent them from leaving.

Some of these people who are fleeing have not had any water or food for two or three days. If they don't eat anything, they will starve to death tonight.

They want nothing but food. As long as they have food, their two hundred or so people can survive.

"Master, please give us some food, the little woman's baby is almost starving to death."

Suddenly, a woman holding a child ran out from the team, rushed to Leader Qin, and kowtowed.

The woman had unkempt hair and dirty clothes, and the child in her arms was probably two or three years old. He was as hungry as a big-headed baby and was dying in the woman's arms.

Leaders Qin and Zhang were unmoved when they saw this. They had seen such things often.

"Girl Yue, let's go over and take a look." The old Marquis who was sitting on the floor called Su Yue.

Su Yue had already seen everything, and she was thinking about how to help these refugees.

Hearing the shout, she nodded and helped the old lady up. Uncle Su also helped the old lady up and followed her to have a look.

The three Su Qiwen brothers had already passed by and stood behind Leader Qin, looking at the refugees solemnly.

General Yun also supported Mrs. Yun to see.

Only Imperial Physician Xie and his family did not move. These matters were not something that he, a young imperial physician, could handle.

Murong Li came over and followed Su Yue, walking towards the woman.

Su Yue is wearing a green cloth dress. Although the fabric is ordinary, she can't stand out from her fair skin and beauty. She doesn't look like a child from a poor family. She looks like a wealthy eldest lady from some family.

And Murong Li has an extraordinary temperament and unparalleled handsomeness.

When the refugees saw the two of them, their eyes widened. Where did these immortals come from? How could they be so beautiful?

And those two couples looked like noble people with extraordinary status.

Seeing that it was useless to ask Qin to take the lead, the woman looked up and saw Su Yue. She held the child and rushed to her. She held the child in one hand and grabbed her skirt with the other and kowtowed.

"Miss, little woman, please give us some food. If there is no more food, the little woman's children will starve to death. Please..."

The woman cried and kowtowed to beg.

Su Yue swept her mental energy around and found that the entire fleeing team was all emaciated and haggard, dragging their tired bodies and looking at them numbly. Some of them could not even stand firm and could be blown down by a gust of wind.
