He should most thank Xiao Baozhu for helping him make the decision.
He had long thought of going out to look for Le Fan, but he had never been able to make a decision.
If it weren't for the little orb, he didn't know how long he would have delayed it.
Huo Yingwei pinched her little face and said, "Okay, go back and get your luggage."
Go now!
Xiao Baozhu's luggage has been prepared a long time ago.
In addition to the things she wanted to bring, she also brought Qiqi.
Qiqi is the little friend left to her by her mother. Taking Qiqi with her might help.
Seeing that Xiao Baozhu insisted on taking Qiqi with him, Huo Yingwei agreed.
This cat is indeed not like an ordinary cat, it always seems to be able to understand human speech.
Huo Yingwei loaded the flowers pot by pot into the carriage and set off immediately.
These unknown flowers planted by Xiao Baozhu are becoming more and more prosperous day by day.
In the car, Xiao Baozhu didn't forget to wipe the dust off their leaves.
"Baby girl, is there no problem with the general direction we are going?"
"No!"
She has tested it with good and bad luck, and tested it.
Go south and you'll have good results.
Moreover, she had asked Grandpa Zeng before she left. Grandpa Zeng said that as long as she worked hard, she would have good results.
She didn't think this was just a prevarication, and her confidence increased greatly.
The carriage drove all the way to the south.
Little Baozhu has never been to the south.
The customs and customs in the south are different from where she grew up.
So along the way, Little Baozhu was quite satisfied.
But gradually, Huo Yingwei felt something was wrong.
In this world, whether in the south or the north, there are poor people and refugees who make a living.
This is not surprising.
But strangely, the further south he went, the more refugees there became.
Logically speaking, the south is a prosperous land and there shouldn't be so many refugees.
He wondered for a long time, and finally couldn't help it, so he got out of the car and asked.
He stopped an old man with a child and gave him two pieces of cake.
The child looked very hungry and kept stuffing cakes into his mouth crazily.
"Old man, where are you going?" Huo Yingwei asked.
"I don't know." The old man opened Toothless's mouth, "Anyway, as long as I can find a way to survive..."
Huo Yingwei continued to ask: "Are all of you from the same place?"
"Some come from one place, some don't." The old man looked Huo Yingwei up and down, "Are you from the north?"
Huo Yingwei nodded.
"Doing business?"
Huo Yingwei smiled and said yes.
The old man said, "Business in the south is not going to be easy this year. The floods alone will make people's livelihood difficult."
Flooding?
Huo Yingwei's brows tightened imperceptibly.
He did know that there was a flood somewhere in the south.
But according to reports from local officials, the floods have been controlled, and the government's funds for food distribution have also arrived.
It stands to reason that the people should be able to get through this difficult time and not be in dire straits.
The old man smiled sarcastically and waved his hand, "Officials will never suffer. Are we the common people the ones who suffer?"
"I think you are a good person, and you are taking your children with you. Don't go south. This flood cannot be controlled well, and there will be a plague in the future. No, let's run out before people start dying."
plague.
Huo Yingwei's face turned serious.
After the flood, there will be a plague.
He knew this.
Can……
Huo Yingwei thanked the old man and returned to the carriage.
It seemed that he might have come to the right place this time.
"Dad, what did they just tell you?" Xiao Baozhu leaned over and held Qiqi in his arms.
"It's nothing." Huo Yingwei didn't want to scare Xiao Baozhu, but he had to tell her not to get off the carriage unless he was watching.
If there are many refugees, there will also be many bandits.
God knows what might have happened.
The carriage traveled for several more days.
Soon, we arrived at Hongcheng.
Huo Yingwei has never been to Hongcheng, but he knows something about this place.
This place is where the flood was reported earlier.
According to the news later sent to the court, it was said that the government was well managed and the people were back to living and working in peace and contentment.
only……
It doesn't look like this.
As soon as Huo Yingwei entered the city, he saw the porridge shack.
Outside the shed, the line of people stretched almost throughout the city.
They don't look like people who are looking for petty gains. They all have good food and look hungry.
This is so strange.
It is completely different from what was reported by Magistrate Hongcheng.
Xiao Baozhu looked out of the window. Although she didn't understand what happened, she also knew it was not a good thing.
She shrank back and said, "Dad, what are they doing?"
"them……"
Huo Yingwei was stuck for a moment.
He really didn't know whether he should tell Xiao Baozhu the truth or find an excuse.
Huo Yingwei stopped the carriage not far from the soup kitchen shed.
There was a woman with swollen cheeks who was crying.
"Master, please give me more, Master, my son is about to starve to death..."
"No no!"
The porridge man waved his hand impatiently, "Next!"
The woman refused to leave, so she wanted more bowls of porridge.
The porridge man came forward and pushed her.
She had no strength and was quickly pushed out and fell to the ground.
A child with a sallow face and thin muscles, who looked like he was about to starve to death, was crying feebly beside her.
Huo Yingwei didn't take action.
Because he knew that it seemed that there were many people like this woman, and she couldn't control them.
But, it does look painful.
The child who was about to starve to death could not stand up.
Holding the broken bowl in her hands, the woman suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the soup kitchen, shouting: "I will fight with you!"
not good.
Huo Yingwei's eyebrows sank.
Just when he was hesitating whether to step forward, the little girl beside him had already jumped off the carriage and rushed over, "You are not allowed to hit anyone!"
Obviously, no one takes small nipples seriously.
Seeing that his precious daughter was about to be pushed to the ground, Huo Yingwei rushed over.
Compared with Huo Yingwei, those people were naturally no match. With a few moves, they were left lying on the ground.
From behind the soup kitchen shed, several more people rushed out immediately.
"Who is so bold as to dare to cause trouble here?!"
Those few official-looking people wanted to take action when they came up.
Huo Yingwei's eyes sharpened, his tone of voice was slightly raised, and he seemed to be calm and confident.
"Who am I? Can't your dog eyes see it?!"
His momentum really frightened those who came over.
Although the clothes Huo Yingwei and Xiao Baozhu wore were not very luxurious, their aura couldn't be concealed.
While they didn't dare to say anything, Huo Yingwei immediately picked up the children on the ground and motioned for them to get on the carriage first.
As soon as he got on the carriage, Xiao Baozhu took out the only pastries he had left.
"My brother eats it, and my aunt eats it."
The child who was about to starve to death immediately lit up when he saw the cakes.
