The mangled half corpse lay quietly on the ground, waiting for the arrival of the body collector.
It seems that this is his final return.
The mangled body and the black and red blood on the ground.
Tell everyone all the time.
This is the most real drought! This is the most real current situation of the people.
There was a severe drought in Guanzhong and the hungry people were eating each other.
The eight characters in the dossier could not describe the true tragic situation of the victims.
Xu Yi didn't show it on his face, but there were countless mixed feelings in his heart.
"Huh~!"
Xu Yi took out a deep breath and looked up at the victims on both sides of the road.
When Xu Yi looked at the victims, the victims were also looking at Xu Yi.
From those eyes, Xu Yi saw numbness, decay, despair and many other emotions.
But there was no hope for life.
It is also.
The first and second Jing Zhaoyin exploited them and used them as goods that could be sold.
The third Jing Zhaoyin worked for them wholeheartedly, but in the end he ended up having his entire family executed.
Now, the fourth Jing Zhaoyin has arrived. God knows whether this fourth Jing Zhaoyin is good or bad?
What will happen to them.
Xu Yi silently withdrew his gaze and said calmly: "Let's go, keep moving forward!"
The words are over.
Xu Yi strode towards the victims.
Behind him, Zhao Shou, who had fallen into deep self-doubt due to cannibalism, quickly came to his senses upon seeing this.
He quickly caught up with Xu Yi.
Compared with Zhao Shou's absent-mindedness, Xu Yi's emotions were mixed.
The reaction of the two hundred soldiers was too calm.
So calm that the appearance of such a corpse seemed inevitable.
So calm that even if hundreds more appear in front of you! There are thousands of similar corpses, and they won't show any signs of movement.
Without him, they had seen too many similar scenes during the days they were on duty at Xuanpingmen.
Everyone moved forward slowly, and soon they came to a rice-shaped intersection.
This road extends in all directions, connecting Chang'an City with many counties below it.
It is precisely because of this that the number of disaster victims on this road is far higher than that in other places.
At this moment, children were kneeling on both sides of the road.
Without exception, these children were all boys, and all had grass tags inserted into them.
Zhao Shou pointed to the boys with grass tags on them, and said with trembling fingers: "Sixth Master."
"These...these...these people are selling their children again?"
As luck would have it, during the few days he was waiting for the appointment, Zhao Shou had just read the classic book "Inserting the Price and Selling the First Price".
Xu Yi nodded but said nothing.
I really don't know what to say when I look at those boys who are being sold as goods by their parents.
Can you say that the boy's parents are callous?
cannot.
Who would be willing to sell their children if there was any way to do it?
Zhao Shou didn't ask why there were only boys but no girls.
Zhao Shou heard the reason from the waiter at the shop yesterday.
For a moment, Zhao Shou fell into despair again.
After a while.
Zhao Shou raised his head and looked at Xu Yi and said in a hoarse voice: "Sixth Master, let's help them. They... they are so pitiful."
Xu Yi turned to look at Zhao Shou, whose eyes were red, and sighed in his heart.
Some people, even though they have a very difficult life, always pity others.
Zhao Shou is like this, and so is Xu Yi himself.
Xu Yi turned around, turned his back to Zhao Shou and said slowly: "Of course I want to help, but not now."
Zhao Shou looked at Xu Yi's back in confusion and asked, "Why not now?"
Xu Yi, who had his back to Zhao Shou, gently wiped the corners of his eyes and asked, "With the strength of you and me, how much can we help?"
Without waiting for Zhao Shou's answer, Xu Yi said to himself: "With the strength of you and me, even if we go bankrupt, we can't help many people."
"Isn't Zhou Qiping the best example?"
"If we want to completely help them, we can only unite all the forces that can be united and mobilize all the resources that can be mobilized."
There is another sentence Xu Yi did not say, that sentence is, 'If you want to provide disaster relief, you must first eliminate the disease. '
In Xu Yi's eyes, the Zhou Dynasty was equivalent to a behemoth.
The appearance of disaster victims means that this behemoth is sick.
Disaster relief was the prescription given by the head of the Zhou Dynasty (Jinluan Palace) to cure illnesses.
However, disaster relief alone cannot solve the problem at all. In the end, it can only treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.
In the final analysis, it was the parasite that was born on the behemoth of the Zhou Dynasty.
When a parasite obtains enough power from the prescription to make itself powerful.
The rest of the parasites will naturally swarm around.
The final result was that those prescriptions did not hit the affected area at all.
On the contrary, it has become the nutrient for those parasites to continue to grow.
Therefore, if you want medicine to cure the disease, you need to get rid of the parasites first.
Zhao Shou fell silent for a rare moment after hearing this.
He could only understand half of what Xu Yi said.
But this did not prevent Zhao Shou from knowing what his sixth master was thinking.
In front of the road, for some unknown reason, a large number of victims suddenly gathered.
The victims formed a large circle, and within the circle there were sounds of children crying and adults pleading.
Seeing this, Xu Yi looked at Baihu Gu Dengyun beside him and said calmly: "Gu Baihu, please take the soldiers to rest here for a while."
Gu Dengyun glanced at the victims gathered in front of him.
Gu Dengyun could already guess what Xu Yi wanted to do.
Then he looked at Xu Yi in shock. He quickly cupped his fists and said, "My lord, you can't do that."
Xu Yi said calmly: "There is nothing that can't be done. They are just a group of unarmed victims."
Seeing Gu Dengyun, he still wanted to say something.
Xu Yi hurriedly added: "This is an order!"
The words are over.
Xu Yi ignored the embarrassed Gu Dengyun and led Zhao Shou quickly towards the gathering crowd.
There is no other way. If Gu Dengyun is brought along, the people will scatter like birds and beasts as soon as everyone arrives.
By that time, Xu Yi couldn't find out anything.
As for safety, as Xu Yi said, they are just a group of unarmed and hungry victims.
How could he hurt the two masters and servants who possess martial arts skills and sharp blades?
As the master and servant continued to approach.
Among the crowd gathered, the child's hoarse cry came out.
And the adults' humble pleas for mercy became increasingly clear.
"Everyone, I only have this son! Please, please do it!"
The voice was obviously that of the child's father.
When the master and servant heard this, they couldn't help but quicken their pace.
After a while, he squeezed into the crowd.
Only then did the master and servant see clearly what was going on in the circle.
I saw that a small circle was already covered with mess.
Some coarse porcelain pots whose original shape cannot be clearly seen are scattered in the circle.
A middle-aged woman was lying on the open ground with blood oozing from her forehead, wailing in pain.
Next to the middle-aged woman, a 16-7-year-old child was crying with fear on his face.
His eyes were filled with despair.
Beside the little boy, there was a middle-aged man.
At this time, the middle-aged man was kneeling on the ground, kowtowing like a chicken pecking at rice.
