Xue Mu has always felt that if you want to choose a wave dragon claw catcher, you must choose the right person.
Someone like Nangong Xue must be right for him.
But just when he was thinking this, Nangong Xue suddenly slapped him over.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly, otherwise, he might have eaten a big dick.
Xue Mu bent down and said in surprise: "Sir, what do you want to do?"
Nangong Xue hit his hand hard and glared angrily: "What are you doing with your hands?!"
Xue Mu pretended to be innocent and said: "Sir, I can't see, so the distance and position are not appropriate. Did I just touch your neck?"
Nangong Xue saw that he didn't seem to know that he was touching her chest, so she had no choice but to say: "Yes! Give me the mud and I will do it myself!"
"I'm sorry, Lord Nangong, you have to be considerate of me. After all, I can't see." Xue Mu said while suppressing a smile.
With that said, he poured all the soil into Nangong Xue's hand.
Xue Mu stood aside and opened his eyes to gain insight.
At this time, he could clearly see Nangong Xue in the thermal image wiping his neck with his hand.
I have to say, this pose is quite sexy.
Nangong Xue noticed at this time that Xue Mu had been looking at her.
She didn't care.
After all, he couldn't see and didn't know what he was doing.
After sorting everything out, Nangong Xue said to Xue Mu, "Okay, let's go."
"Um."
The two of them walked side by side towards the group of victims outside the city.
As the sun sets, a narrow dirt road is crowded with a group of refugees wearing shabby clothes. They carry all the belongings they can carry, with endless sadness and helplessness on their faces.
Nangong Xue looked over and found that some frail old men and women were pushed aside. They had no place to rest and could only huddle in the dirt.
They were mumbling something, facing the horizon and looking at the dusk, seeming to be telling their own sorrows.
Some mothers hugged their weak children tightly, hoping that today's official officials would come over early to give porridge.
Their faces were full of vicissitudes of life, and the remaining traces of exhaustion and despair continued to drain away with the sound of the wind.
The cold wind invaded their thinly-clad bodies, and the faint lights shone like helpless meteors in the sky.
In this land, there is no warmth that can hold them tightly in the cold wind, and there is no place that can take them in.
They are like leftovers from the world, appearing in various places continuously.
Relying on firm belief and unknown hope, they marched step by step, and finally gathered outside the gate of the capital.
These river-like refugees all have a similar fate. They are pawns of fate, exiles outside this world.
Looking at this scene, Nangong Xue's eyes gradually became moist.
"Obviously. Obviously there weren't that many people before."
Xue Mu listened and asked, "What's wrong?"
"There are ten times more victims outside the city than we saw three months ago." Nangong Xue said in great surprise.
Xue Mu replied: "It is too difficult to survive in this world. There may be another natural disaster somewhere."
"Let's keep going."
"good."
Not long after, they came to the so-called refugee crowd.
All of them were sallow and thin.
unkempt.
He looked like he hadn't had enough to eat all day.
Some children were lying in their mothers' arms with pustules on their heads and looked very uncomfortable.
Nangong Xue looked at these scenes and told Xue Mu bit by bit.
But when she saw that Xue Mu didn't seem to have many emotional changes, she thought it was normal. After all, he couldn't see.
But unexpectedly, Xue Mu said: "Actually, I had already guessed this scene before I came here."
"How do you know? Have you ever been outside the city?" Nangong Xue asked.
Xue Mu shook his head: "No, but I know what the scene is like. Those victims wore tattered clothes and had nothing to eat. Some of their hands were black, and the soil around them was smooth. All plants with color were , they will all eat it, and if the officials in the city don't give out porridge in the past two days, Yi Zi will probably eat each other."
"Why are Yi Zi eating each other?" Nangong Xue asked.
Seeing that she hadn't heard of it, Xue Mu explained: "It means that the parents on both sides are reluctant to eat their own children, so they eat them in exchange."
As soon as these words came out, Nangong Xue almost vomited.
It took a while to recover.
It was this move that made many refugees look at them.
When Nangong Xue saw this, she was worried that she would be exposed, so she took Xue Mu to a corner and sat down.
After she sat down, she looked at Xue Mu beside her and said, "Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course." Xue Mu replied.
Hearing this, Nangong Xue's mood became more complicated.
Looking at the homeless victims in front of her, she didn't know what to do for a moment.
At this time, Xue Mu comforted him: "Master Nangong, I know what you are thinking now."
"What am I thinking? Don't think you understand me." Nangong Xue pretended to be strong.
"Are you thinking about how to save them?" Xue Mu explained.
Nangong Xue said nothing.
"But you and I both know that the people who can really save them are the people living in the imperial city. We, the people who speak lightly, have no effect." Xue Mu persuaded.
But Nangong Xue said at this time: "Then we must do our best to protect the people who should be protected."
Hearing this, Xue Mu smiled happily.
have to say.
Although my immediate boss sometimes has a bad temper.
But he has a kind heart.
Unfortunately.
This situation in Daqing.
Only the current emperor can handle it.
As for him.
forget it.
It's better to have sex, flirt with girls, and improve your strength.
Now he is working so hard as a refugee here just to solve the case in front of him and then secure his position as a hundred households.
As long as he becomes a commanding officer, maybe he will be able to taste Leng Mei's taste.
Then slowly climb up until you reach a certain position.
No one can threaten his own life anymore, just be a cool civil servant and be done with it.
After thinking about it, the crowd suddenly became restless.
Xue Mu's hearing was very alert and he quickly asked: "What's wrong?"
Nangong Xue didn't know what happened. She stood up, looked at the surging crowd and said, "I don't know, they all ran to the city gate."
"Come on, let's go take a look too."
As he spoke, he walked forward.
When Nangong Xue saw this, she quickly grabbed him: "Hey."
"What's wrong?" Xue Mu turned around.
"There are a lot of people here. Be careful if you get separated. I'll hold you." Nangong Xue hesitated for a moment and finally said.
Xue Mu then smiled and said, "Okay, then Master Nangong will lead the way."
However, Nangong Xueke did not hold his hand, but grabbed his wrist and walked forward.
Judging from the reactions of these people, something must have happened ahead.
Otherwise, I would never be so restless.
Sure enough, Nangong Xue found officials serving porridge outside the city gate.
"Don't worry."
"Don't worry!"
"One bowl per person!"
"Whoever takes too much will have his hands chopped off!"
The officials serving the porridge were all grumpy and seemed to be disgusted.
Nangong Xue finally squeezed to the side. She held Xue Mu's hand and watched the porridge soup from the side.
One of the adults sat there calmly, shouting from time to time: "Don't worry, everyone has a share."
Nangong Xue looked at the porridge bucket and found that the porridge scooped out was almost all yellow!
"this"
Nangong Xue was very surprised.
Xue Mu listened and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Why is this porridge yellow?"
When Xue Mu heard this, he responded: "Mix it with sand."
"How is it possible? This is a porridge stall set up by the imperial court. How could they line their own pockets!" Nangong Xue said angrily.
Xue Mu just smiled: "If you don't believe it, sir, you can go and ask for a bowl."
In order to verify what she said, Nangong Xue rushed into the crowd and finally asked for a bowl.
When she saw this bowl, which was half bowl of sand and half bowl of porridge and water, she was stunned for a moment.
Xue Mu couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that the adults are still naive."
"Why?" Nangong Xue was still in a state of shock.
"There are countless victims, and the imperial court immediately ordered the opening of granaries to release grain to provide relief to the victims. But if a bowl of porridge is filled with fragrant rice, guess how long the imperial court can hold on, and no one knows when this natural disaster will begin. "
"Also, what if besides the real victims, there are also people from other areas pretending to be victims to receive food?"
"Really hungry victims don't care whether there is sand in your porridge or not, they just drink it."
Listening to Xue Mu's words, Nangong Xue was even more surprised: "How do you know so much?"
Xue Mu just mentioned: "I heard it from the old man at the entrance of the village when I was a child."
But in fact, these are all old methods used by the traitorous minister He Shen.
As he was talking, the woman on the side cried: "I, I can't get it! I can't get the porridge!"
When Nangong Xue saw this, she saw a drowsy child in her arms, so he handed the bowl in her hand to her: "You drink first."
The woman was stunned for a moment, then immediately kowtowed to Nangong Xue: "Thank you, thank you, my great benefactor!"
"Nanny, get up and have some porridge. The delicious porridge is here."
After Nangong Xue passed this porridge scene, she sat down against the tree trunk and didn't speak for a long time.
Xue Mu knew that she needed time to adapt and accept.
This is survival.
This is life.
Some people admired the flowers and the moon in the imperial city, and even felt sad because of it.
Someone drank a bowl of porridge outside the city and cried with joy.
The joys and sorrows of people are not the same.
Xue Mu came to her side and comforted her: "Sir, we have to deal with the case first, and we still have to keep an eye on the people coming and going."
At this time, he heard some sobbing.
Nangong Xue recalled the appearance of the woman just now and her mother.
But perhaps in order not to make a fool of herself in front of Xue Mu, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and cheered up: "Now observe the people coming out of the city gate. Let me see. Listen, no one is allowed to speak."
"yes."
Just like that, the two of them leaned against the tree trunk.
Once I sat down, I sat down for three hours.
Late at night, the cold wind came.
Nangong Xue even felt a hint of coldness on her body.
She couldn't help but tremble.
Xue Mu has a pure Yang constitution and his body is naturally warm.
Hearing Nangong Xue's shivering, he asked, "Sir, are you cold?"
"No." Nangong Xue said firmly.
But the next second, Xue Mu grabbed her hand, and after feeling the cold temperature, he said, "Let's get closer. I'm hot and I can transfer some heat to you."
Nangong Xue originally wanted to refuse.
But Xue Mu's words made her finally compromise: "You still have to handle the case. You can't let these refugees die because of people in the city."
Nangong Xue chose to lean over.
So Xue Mu put his arm around her shoulders.
This time, she couldn't help but blush.
She stressed: "Don't mention the details of tonight's case with others."
"clear."
Xue Mu said, slowly moving his hand down a little more.
Nangong Xue also felt the warmth in his body at this time.
She also didn't expect Xue Mu to be so hot.
Could it be that he has a pure Yang fire constitution?
Could it be that he is already at the fourth level of pulse opening?
Impossible. It took me two years to reach the fourth level of pulse opening. How could it be possible for him to do so in half a year?
He can't be that fast.
Just as he was thinking about it, a carriage ran out of the city.
Everyone was restless again.
It just so happens that this is Zi Shi.
Xue Mu opened his eyes.
When he saw it, he immediately said: "Sir."
"Well, let's go." Nangong Xue stood up immediately.
But maybe I sat there for too long.
My legs are a little numb.
She was still a little uncomfortable for a moment, staggered slightly, and wanted to support Xue Mu behind her.
At this moment, he was about to stand up.
As a result, the accident happened.
Nangong Xue accidentally touched the guy Xue Mu was sitting around.
