Chapter 69
Grain Release
"Okay, just follow Yue Yatou's wishes."
After the old marquis finished speaking, he glanced at Murong Li. Murong Li understood, nodded and got up to go find Leader Qin to make arrangements.
After finishing their meal quickly, the group left quickly.
Sure enough, several people followed them for a while, and they didn't leave until darkness fell and the team stopped.
At night, everyone didn't build a shed outside, but stayed in the carriage.
The guards worked in two shifts and patrolled constantly.
Everything was quiet, except for the occasional crackle from the fire.
The moon is a little bright tonight, hazy covering this desolate land.
Su Yong's mental energy was swept away, and a group of refugees were quietly surrounding her a mile away.
The first ones were those who followed the team.
Visual inspection showed that the number of these refugees was not inferior to that of the old man's team.
Many people also held hoes, hatchets, kitchen knives, and wooden sticks in their hands.
This is to kill the people in their team.
"Village Chief, we only need to grab the grain and those horses. There is no need to kill people." Lu Ming, one of the few people he had suddenly brought with him, said to the other, a fierce-looking village chief, who was holding a wooden stick.
The village chief looked at him blankly: "What the hell do you know? Take away that team and let's go back to the village. Just the dozen or twenty horses and the things on the cart will be enough for everyone to survive until the end of the New Year. The court will have to take care of whatever happens next year."
Just take care of it.”
"But we still can't kill people."
"Yes, village chief, let's just ask for food, and forget about it." The other person couldn't bear it, and tried his best to persuade them. They were all carrying hoes, and if they were asked to kill people, they still couldn't do it.
They are not vicious bandits, they are just desperate people.
Village Chief: "Can you get the stuff?"
Another refugee said anxiously: "Village chief, there are dozens of policemen among them. We should do like old Liu Tou next door and let the women beg. Although we have more people than them, we have no fighting capacity. Look at it.
Our people are trembling even when they stand."
The village chief fell silent for a moment and sat down on the ground dejectedly.
All the actions of their group were due to Su Yong's mental power. Fortunately, they braked in time and did not make any mistakes.
If they dare to come with a knife, they will never come back.
She wanted to save them, but she wouldn't save a group of extremely vicious people.
Looking at these skeleton-like refugees, Su Yue felt really bad. How long had she been hungry?
This is the harvest season, but they are fleeing.
That dog emperor really didn't do anything. She didn't believe that the disaster in the northwest was so serious. He didn't know.
When she was looting the treasury, there were mountains of property in the treasury, but no one was sent to provide relief.
If I had known, Emperor Dog's food would also be moved and distributed to these refugees.
She really didn't want to share her food with these refugees, let alone make wedding clothes for the Dog Emperor, but seeing them starving like that, even her hard-hearted person really couldn't bear it.
So she locked her mental power not far in front of the village chief, and quickly moved a dozen bags of food in the space there.
These are fine rice, scraped by the way when raiding the homes of corrupt officials.
When putting the last bag in, Su Yue deliberately made a noise.
"what sound?"
The heavy sound of a heavy object falling to the ground seemed particularly abrupt at this night.
"Go and have a look." The village chief also came to his senses. He is not afraid of wild beasts coming out at night. The refugees now are more terrifying than wild beasts, and they are eager for wild beasts to come out.
Several people listened and walked toward the sound with the tools in their hands.
"Village, village chief, here it is, come on, come on, look, look." The refugee walking at the front saw a pile of sacks on the ground, and he was so surprised that he couldn't even express his surprise.
"Quick, Wu Er, use a kitchen knife to cut it open and take a look." The refugee who passed behind touched the sack and shook it.
Suddenly, a refugee lit up the fire stick on his body.
"Really, it really seems to be food. Quick, Wu Er, bring me the kitchen knife." The village chief rushed up, snatched the kitchen knife from Wu Er who was still stunned, and cut it open with several knives. The white flowers in the bag were revealed.
The rice blinded their eyes.
"Li Ergou, call someone to move it away quickly." The village chief reacted the fastest. No matter how the food appeared here, he would risk his life to take it away.
"Oh." The man who called Li Ergou turned around and went to the back, picked out a dozen strong men from the team, and moved all the dozen bags of rice away in three strokes.
Seeing them move away, Su Yue was not happy at all.
Seeing them moving to the foot of a mountain, where they were all old, weak, sick and disabled, women and children, Su Yue felt sad when she saw them looking skinny and hungry.
I saw that after the group of refugees moved the food back, they quickly asked someone to cook the porridge immediately.
The remaining food is strictly guarded and no one is allowed to steal it.
Su Yue sighed and took the opportunity to put a few more bags there for them, as well as the dried meat roasted in her space. Of course, she also put a large jar of water and some medicinal materials there for them.
That's all it does for them.
The northwest is vast and sparsely populated, and there are millions of refugees anyway. There are only a few hundred people here, and things in the space are limited. Just keep their lives.
Relief from the court is coming soon, I hope they can survive.
Su Yue sighed heavily again, and used the same method to give some food to the refugees within her mental range.
Some herbs were also given to them.
Of course, these herbs are common, and most of them are collected from Hutou Ridge. Even if they don't know the prescriptions, boiling them and drinking them is better than what they boil.
When the refugees saw the food appearing out of thin air, they thought it was the appearance of gods from the sky. They cried loudly and thanked God and the Guanyin Bodhisattva who saved the suffering.
Seeing those touching scenes, Su Yong's aching heart also found some comfort.
"Knock knock knock..."
A gentle knocking sound was heard in Su Yue's carriage.
Su Yue withdrew her mental power, and when she saw it was Murong Li, she quickly got out of the carriage.
"How did you come?"
"Can't sleep." Murong Li said and led her further away. The two of them sat down when they could no longer see the patrolling people.
"Can't you sleep after seeing this disaster?"
Murong Li nodded and looked up to the sky: "This disaster has been going on for at least half a year, but the capital has not received any news. It was already too late for me to receive the news."
Su Yue patted him and understood his mood. No one in the royal family was indifferent after seeing this scene.
"Do your best."
"Well, my supplies will arrive in ten days at the earliest. Yue'er has already delivered the food tonight, right?"
He guessed it since the refugees hadn't arrived after so long.
"Well, so you don't have to be too anxious." Su Yue nodded.
Murong Li tried to ask: "Yue'er isn't curious where I got the supplies?"
