Shang Ruyi was startled, and when he took a closer look, he saw that they were two guards. They said gloomily, "What are you doing here?"
??"I, let me take a look."
??"Who allowed you to come?"
??"I--"
?? Seeing that she was stammering and unable to speak, the two guards became a little more fierce and said: "Quickly leave, if you don't leave, we won't be polite!"
??As soon as he finished speaking, a calm and smiling voice sounded from behind Shang Ruyi: "I allowed her to come."
??The two guards were startled and saluted with their hands raised: "My boss."
??Shang Ruyi hurriedly turned around, and at some point, Xiao Yuanshui had walked behind her and was looking at her with a smile. Shang Ruyi suddenly felt guilty: "Master Xiao."
??Xiao Yuansui did not respond to her immediately, but waved his hands to the two guards, and they immediately stepped aside.
?? He then looked down at Shang Ruyi and said with a smile: "It seems that after enjoying the three-foot bed and the table of meals, the young lady still wanted to take a look at this door."
??「……」
??Shang Ruyi hesitated for a while, then looked at the flat road: "Where, where does it lead?"
??Xiao Yuanshui smiled and said, "Go and take a look, you'll know."
??After saying that, he said nothing and walked directly past Shang Ruyi with his hands behind his back. Although Shang Ruyi was a little nervous, he followed him immediately.
??Soon, the two people reached the end of the straight path. Only then did Shang Ruyi realize that after turning the corner, his eyes suddenly opened up. It was a wide platform with a step depth of nearly a hundred feet. In the middle A flat avenue leads straight ahead, and at the end of the avenue is a huge warehouse. The two wide wooden doors on the front are ajar. In the dim light inside, you can faintly see some tall, hill-like black shadows. .
??Xiao Yuansui said: "Do you know what that is?"
??Shang Ruyi did not answer this, but slowly squatted down, picked up a handful of small stones from the roadside, and sprinkled them forward.
??Immediately, the birds that were parked on the ground and pecking here and there all flew up with a roar.
??It was obviously a cold winter, and the scenery was almost frozen. Birds flying like this suddenly made the place seem full of life. Shang Ruyi smiled, then turned to Xiao Yuansui and said, "No need to ask. ?"
??It’s winter, and this is Loess Ridge. How come there are so many birds?
??It’s just because the ground is covered with rice grains.
??However, it is not deliberately sprinkled here to feed the birds. It is just that on the way to transport food, no matter how neatly it is loaded, some will inevitably leak. Therefore, the birds living on the trees near the large granaries and food transport roads are The finches are always fatter than elsewhere.
??And here is Xingluocang City.
??What is in front of us is the Xingluo Cang, the number one granary in the world that can actually support everyone in the world!
Speaking of which, she and Yu Wenye had mentioned this granary from time to time from a long time ago, but they seemed to have never seen this granary, or even sketched it in their minds.
??I really couldn’t imagine that this granary turned out to be like this.
??When the door opened in front of him, a hot wind blew in. The wind was mixed with a smell that seemed to be very fragrant and a little smelly. The hot air forced his already chilly body to break into a sweat. Shang Ruyi She put her hand in front of her eyes to avoid the burst of smoke and dust, and then slowly raised her head. ….
??Everything can be seen.
??In front of her was a huge warehouse, even bigger than all the tall palaces she saw when she entered Ziwei Palace, and those dark, tall black figures just now were listed. In this warehouse, there are stacks of grain one after another.
??These grain stacks are cylindrical in shape, six to seven feet wide and more than four to five feet high. They are like a small house. But when you get closer, you will find that the grain stacks do not rise from the ground, but there is a section buried deep.
At the bottom, all in all, it is nearly ten feet high!
??Isn’t this Liangshan?
??There is more than one such grain mountain in this warehouse. Shang Ruyi slowly walked into the warehouse and took a closer look. There were dozens of tall and majestic grain mountains arranged in seven vertical and eight horizontal directions. They were densely packed like gods. Every chess piece pressed in the human world can make people flock to it, even go crazy!
??Shang Ruyi couldn't help but tremble. Looking at these grains, she didn't know why, but her heart was filled with excitement.
??After a long while, he murmured: "Grain...this is the grain harvested in Xingluocang."
??Although he has seen the scene here countless times, Xiao Yuansui was still shocked when he walked in and saw it again. The surging mood was almost the same as that of Shang Ruyi. He stood beside her. Next to him, he slowly said: "Yes, this is the grain harvest in Xingluocang."
??「……」
"We have transported food to Wanggang Village three times before, with more than a dozen trucks at a time, enough to feed the brothers who stayed in the village for more than half a year."
??「……」
??"But even then, we didn't hollow out a single grain pile."
??Shang Ruyi took a deep breath.
??Next, Xiao Yuansui continued: "And there are more than 40 such granaries."
??"What?!"
??Shang Ruyi couldn't believe his ears, turned his head and looked at him in shock: "This, this is just-"
??Xiao Yuanshui said: "Yes, this is just one of the warehouses."
??「……」
??"My brothers and I entered this warehouse city, and until now, no one has visited all the warehouses."
??「……」
??Shang Ruyi no longer knew what to say. She stared at him blankly for a while, then turned her head and slowly approached a grain pile. She looked up for a while and then walked to another. Looking at those grain stacks standing silently, they have no emotions, let alone thoughts, but they have stirred up the life, death, joy and anger of so many people in the world, and there is an indescribable cruelty.
??Xiao Yuansui also came forward and walked forward with her.
??The two people just walked side by side, walking in the middle of these tall grain stacks, saying nothing, but it seemed that there were thousands of words echoing in this quiet space.
??I don’t know how long it took, but Shang Ruyi asked: “Why did you bring me to see this?”
??As Xiao Yuansui walked forward, he said: "Do you know that the food here can last the people of the world for how long?"
??「……」
??"The people of the world can live on the food here for several years even if they don't plow or cultivate."
??「……」
??"However, even though there is so much food here, the court still collects it arbitrarily, and the people still bear the heaviest corvee. Do you know how many innocent people have died in the world in recent years due to hunger, cold, and war?"... .
??Shang Ruyi's throat was choked and he didn't speak.
?? Xiao Yuansui walked slowly with his hands behind his back and said: "You said yesterday that Lu Yong is not a thing. Indeed, he is indeed not a thing. But what I want to tell you is that there are many people like him in the world, but Without you, without you seeing them, they only have one name - hungry people."
??「……」
??"If they starve to death, there is only one name - death by hunger."
??「……」
??"If you don't starve to death, but don't want to starve to death, then there is another name - Wang, Gang, Jun."
??These three words seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and they fell heavily on Shang Ruyi's heart. Her breath was suffocated, and she managed to recover after a long while. She raised her head and looked at Xiao Yuansui: "What on earth do you want to say?"
?? Xiao Yuansui looked at her with a smile and said: "Although I and the young lady have only met once before, based on my understanding of the young lady and the young lady's character, we should not be enemies. "
??「……」
??"My young lady felt pity for me at that time, let alone the poor people all over the world?"
??Shang Ruyi lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "Even if I once sympathized with Mr. Xiao, I also sympathized with the poor people all over the world, but this is just my idea. What impact can it have on Mr. Xiao's great cause? Mr. Xiao Taking me here for a stroll today would be a waste of energy."
??"That's not necessarily the case,"
??Xiao Yuansui said with a smile: "I consider myself to be a good judge of people. Young Madam, your path is definitely more than what is in front of you."
??「……」
??"What's more, you have a husband who is worthy of stirring up trouble!"
??After hearing this, Shang Ruyi understood that he had spent so much effort to bring himself here today and said so many words, it was all for Yu Wenye.
??Shang Ruyi said: "Are you still looking for him?"
??"Yes, last night, I sent out a few more troops to search again along the Huangtu Ridge."
??"Still not found?"
??"No."
??"In this case, you shouldn't worry. Maybe, he really, really, won't come back."
??Speaking of this, Shang Ruyi also felt a little tingling in his heart, but Xiao Yuansui shook his head, his eyes were bright and restrained, and said: "It is precisely because there is no trace of him that I can't rest assured. reason."
??「……」
??"The dispatch of an army of ten thousand people left no trace, which is very unusual. If it is true that according to the people in the court, he fled after the defeat, he should be in a very embarrassed state, that is, There is no need to deliberately cover up your whereabouts. With the way he is now, I know very well that he must have something up his sleeve!"
??As he said that, he turned to look at Shang Ruyi: "He will definitely come back!"
??As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Ruyi's step happened to step on a dead branch that had fallen on the ground at some point. There was a click. Although the sound was not loud, it was particularly harsh in such an empty and silent warehouse. .
?? She suddenly turned back and looked at the door that was far away behind her: "Someone is coming!"
??Xiao Yuansui glanced at her, his expression seemed startled.
??At this moment, the ajar door was pushed open heavily again, and a long, heavy and hoarse neighing sound was heard. Then, a tall figure walked in angrily.
??But, just before the man rushed in, Xiao Yuansui suddenly grabbed Shang Ruyi's arm and pulled her behind a grain pile nearby!
??Shang Ruyi was caught off guard, and her back was pressed against the grain stack. But before she could struggle, Xiao Yuansui took a step forward, grabbed her directly with his body, and pinned her down on the tall grain stack.
??She was shocked and said: "You——"
??Before she finished speaking, Xiao Yuanshui reached out and covered her mouth, lowered his head and said, "Stop talking!"
