"Ouch~"
Smelling the aroma of food on the table, the little guy raised his head and sniffled. Maybe he wanted to eat it, but the little guy was spinning on the ground anxiously.
Perhaps because it was afraid of Jia Yu, an unscrupulous master, it did not hang around Jia Yu, but came to Daiyu, stretched out its little paws, and pulled up Daiyu's skirt.
Daiyu felt the movement and looked at the little guy with his tongue hanging out and his eyes shining brightly. She smiled in her heart. The little guy couldn't do anything else but act cute.
Then she picked up a piece of braised pork, bent down, and brought it to the little beast's side.
The little beast swallowed it in its belly in one bite, and its tail waggled happily like a rattle. The old man, who was still feeding Jia Yushang, saw this scene, and his expression suddenly changed.
Nowadays, there have been disasters in Dakang year after year, and many people don't have enough to eat. What Daiyu did now touched the chord in my father-in-law's heart.
"Girl, this old man's food is for people to eat, not for animals!!"
Daiyu was slightly startled when she heard the old man's words. She didn't expect that her husband, who was laughing and joking with Jia Yu, would become so harsh in his tone.
The little beast on the side seemed to understand what the old man said. He turned his head and bared his teeth at the old man standing by the table, and let out a low growl. However, because of its small size, this demonstrative move did not have much effect at all. Instead, it seemed Somewhat cute.
Jia Qi seemed a little annoyed when he saw the old man. He probably guessed why the old man was like this. Just like many things that happened in the court before, the one that had the deepest involvement with the people was the riots in various places. The root cause was nothing else but Because of the approach of the Little Ice Age, most crops have experienced reduced yields or even extinction.
In other words, there is not enough food for people at this time, so they have to feed this little beast. This old man does not look like a wealthy family. He may have experienced the pain of lack of food, so he behaves like this. "I'm sorry, I've never traveled far, so I don't know what's going on outside!"
Jia Yu took the words and said softly.
Daiyu heard what Jia Yu said, but she didn't refute. The little girl was very smart. Just like when she first entered the Rongguo Mansion, her actions would be compared with those of the other girls in the mansion to prevent any jokes, so she didn't understand. When Jia Yu wanted to know what he meant, she would not speak without permission.
When the old man heard Jia Yu's words, his expression softened.
The person in front of him was very nice in terms of dress and speech, and he didn't want to offend him. Now that he saw Jia Qi opening his mouth to explain, he was happy to step down.
"So that's it, the old man is so presumptuous!!"
Hearing the old man's words, Yang Zongren and the others couldn't help laughing.
"Old man, this little guy is not an ordinary beast, but a rare white tiger in the world! Even in Dakang, there are only a few of them. They are so precious that even if you sell this stall, I can't afford it!!"
"Yes, yes, this little thing is willing to eat your braised pork, that's your blessing~ This thing is auspicious~"
Hearing the words of the soldiers on the side, the old man was slightly startled. Is that little guy a tiger or a white tiger? ?
Then he began to look at the little beast not far from his feet. It had snow-white fur, and there were no special tiger patterns on its fur. There was no majestic king character on its forehead. If it hadn't been for its cry, he would have thought it was this little beast. Guy is a kitten now.
"Is this really a white tiger??"
The old man looked at it for a while and asked in disbelief.
The soldiers laughed and said, "Why, is it possible that our brothers will lie to you? Besides, we met these two gentlemen by chance, and they didn't give us any benefits. No matter what we do, we won't join forces to lie to you!"
The old man thought about it, but after a moment of hesitation, he still didn't let go. For him, food was a life-saving thing. Even if the little guy in front of him was really a white tiger, he didn't want to feed it.
The old man looked at it for a while, then shook his head and returned to the thatched house. "This young master, you are so lucky! You can find such auspiciousness~" After the old man left, Yang Zongren and the others couldn't help but chat with each other. When Jia Yu heard them talking, he lightly
Smile lightly.
"It's ridiculous~ He's just a little beast!"
After the old man left, Daiyu looked at him, tilting her head as if she wanted to ask something.
Jia Yu knew what she wanted to ask. The contrast between the old man before and after was really big. He was obviously good at the beginning, but why did he become so stern after she fed the little white tiger a piece of braised meat.
Jia Yu thought for a while and said, "You know that little ice age I mentioned before, right?"
Daiyu frowned when she heard Jia Yu's words, as if she was thinking about what Jia Yu was talking about. She seemed to have heard of this name, and she seemed to have heard it from her father Lin Ruhai, but she didn't quite understand it. It was so profound that she only remembered what her father said at that time.
"Prosperity brings suffering to the people; death brings suffering to the people!!"
"Now even God will not let go of the people of Dakang~~"
Jia Qi saw that Daiyu seemed not to have remembered the Little Ice Age, so he said again: "The Little Ice Age is a conclusion I got from summarizing predictions from Shengmin when I was in Jiubian!"
"From now on, in the next few decades, Dakang will experience a large-scale cooling. This cooling is irreversible. It will not only affect ourselves, but also directly affect the activities we rely on to maintain life. On the food!"
"Nowadays, crops in Dakang are generally reduced in production, and in some places, they are even extinct, because most of the crops in Dakang are not cold-resistant crops! It is difficult to adapt to such a drastic change in the climate!"
"During this period, riots occurred in various places in Dakang. It was probably caused by this incident. Because not having enough to eat may not only mean not having enough to eat, but also death and starvation. Between starvation and rebellion, During this time, they had no choice at all. To a large extent, those people were forced to go to Liangshan!"
"Even in this place, something like this will probably happen. The old man just now probably experienced such a thing, so he is very fond of food. In his words, there is not enough food for people, and they have to come to feed You beast, that’s a waste of nature!”
When Daiyu heard Jia Yu's words, she nodded thoughtfully, which made sense.
When Jia Yu said this, he did not do any soundproofing. Yang Zongren and others also heard his words. When they heard Jia Yu's words, their expressions became cautious. Not only because of what Jia Yu said, but also because of the It did happen in Xuzhou. The prefect of Xuzhou also sent troops to suppress the bandits, but the effect was not great. After one wave was suppressed, another wave appeared, just like weeds, wildfires cannot be burned out, and spring breezes blow again.
Now that they heard Jia Yu's analysis, they finally understood why this happened.
And for Yang Zongren, who was very sensitive to personal words, he also heard another meaning. The origin of the young master in front of him was probably unusual.
The land of Nine Sides was originally bitter and cold, and it was not something that ordinary people could control. In the past few years, it has gradually settled down, and an earth-shaking big shot has emerged from the field of life and death there, the champion of Dakang, Jia Yu.
It's hard not to think of a boy from Jiubian.
If his guess is correct, then he and his group are really lucky that they didn't take action rashly.
Xuzhou was one of the stops when the Snow Dragon Cavalry went down to the south of the Yangtze River. They never thought that the naturally dangerous city wall of Xuzhou City would one day be easily torn apart.
Xuzhou was not a target before and was almost lost. If something happened to Jia Yu here, Xuzhou would probably be destroyed.
