Half a day later, Wu Ming and his group arrived in front of the city gate in a carriage. Above the city gate, there were three big characters Fangchuan City. The city walls were simple and heavy, indicating the name and long history of the city.
Outside the city, there were large groups of refugees gathered, and groups of refugees were sitting or lying in rags, gathering into a black mass outside the city, lifeless and extremely depressing.
Wu Ming opened the curtain and frowned at the refugee settlement outside the city. Along the way, the closer he got to the city, the more refugees gathered. Now, except for a main road that was built by officers and soldiers, the rest of the city was almost occupied by refugees.
How come there are so many refugees?Fengli looked out the window and frowned.
Why is the Great Red Kingdom not as good as our demon clan?So many refugees.Qin Ruoxi lay on Wuming's shoulder and said in confusion.
Qin Ruoxi had never been to the Great Chi Kingdom before, but he heard that the Great Chi Kingdom was strong and the people were rich, and he was much stronger than the demon clan. However, in this case, even the demon clan would not be so.
Miss Bai is here!
Someone suddenly shouted, and the settlement of refugees who had just died suddenly started to riot and gathered in one direction.
And in that direction, there are several sheds standing in front.
Li'er, let's go down and take a look.Wu Ming looked at the direction where the refugees gathered curiously and said.
The two got off the carriage and looked at the place where the refugees gathered. Because there were too many refugees gathering there, they couldn't squeeze through and could only watch from afar.
The terrain of Wuming Station is a bit higher and closer to the porridge shed. There are many people standing at this time, but these people are not as ragged as those refugees, dressed very neatly, and they all look very young. They should be some young men in the city.
Young Master, what is built there seems to be a porridge shed, and someone is serving porridge there.Fengli looked towards the porridge shed and said.
Miss Bai, you are really a living Bodhisattva who saves the suffering and the suffering!
Miss Bai, please give me a bowl of porridge!We just escaped today and my child hasn't eaten in three days!A hunched woman with a yellow face and a thin and pale face protected a seven or eight-year-old child in her body and begged humbly.
Noisy sounds kept coming from the direction of the porridge shed.
There are all, don’t worry, take your time.
Another gentle and moving voice of a woman came.
Wu Ming looked at the woman who made the sound and saw a woman in white in the distance, standing tall and graceful, giving people a soft beauty. In the porridge shed, the woman was also helping with the porridge. She turned around and showed a warm smile to everyone. Although the woman was wearing a white veil, the caring eyes from the heart were hard to hide.
Although the vaguely revealed face is not real, it is hard to hide its beauty.
The refugees lined up in front of the line looked at the woman's care and felt that their hearts were much warmer.
The woman had no decorations. Her black hair was naturally spread behind her shoulders. She was tied together with a white-based hairband. Her whole body gave her a loose and moderate, faint warm charm. Without modification, she exuded a natural and delicate beauty, and even a mysterious beauty that made people light.
This young lady of the Bai family is really beautiful and kind-hearted. I don’t know who will be blessed to marry this young lady of the Bai family in the future.A young scholar-like man sighed next to Wuming.
Unfortunately, I have no hope.Another man holding a folding fan said in a very disappointed manner.
Brother Zhao, aren’t you all married? You still come to do something? Aren’t you afraid that your sister-in-law will get angry? Haha. A slightly young man next to the man surnamed Zhao said with a smile.
There is no way, the family is pressing tightly. I am old and can no longer delay the major marriage. I will keep it confidential about coming here today. If the tigress at home knows, I will feel uncomfortable.The man surnamed Zhao said to the young masters around him with a sad face.
It's easy to say, it's easy to say.Everyone around him laughed and responded.
A few days ago, I asked the matchmaker to go to Bai's house to propose marriage, and I might as well hold the beauty back, haha.The young man said with a smile just now.
Come on, you Huang Po. In recent years, I have almost broken the threshold for going to the Bai family to propose marriage. The conditions are much better than you. I haven’t seen the lady of the Bai family like anyone else. Don’t think about it.
What if the lady of the Bai family suddenly changed her temper and what if she fell in love with me!Huang Po argued again.
What are the ladies of the Bai family mentioned? Is the one who gave the porridge in front of me?Wuming had been listening to the conversation between the few people, and seemed to be very respectful of the lady of the Bai family, so he asked curiously.
Brother, don’t you know Miss Bai’s family?He probably is not a local, I wonder what my brother is calling him?The man surnamed Zhao, holding a folding fan, looked at Wuming and asked.
He is indeed not a local. He is in the next path without Ming. He is a casual cultivator who has been practicing on the mountain since he was a child. He heard that the ceremony was about to be held a few days ago, so he went down the mountain to join in some fun and gain some knowledge. He happened to pass by here today.Wuming replied.
It turned out to be the Taoist prince, who was in Zhao Zhouyuan and had met the immortal chief.Zhao Zhouyuan gave a gift.
Then he continued: Master Dao doesn't know that this lady of the Bai family is extremely famous in our Fangchuan City. The Bai family is also a big family in our Fangchuan City. They have always been in the silk business and have been passed down for more than 500 years. However, since the old man of the Bai family had an accident, some of his family's family has fallen into trouble.Bai Lie, the current head of the Bai family, has a little less ability and cannot defend the family business. Over the past few decades, the family industry has shrunk a lot, and from a big family in Fangchuan City to a mud tribe, until five or six years ago, the eldest lady of the Bai family has been extremely intelligent since childhood. After she started to come into contact with the family business at a young age, she showed extraordinary wisdom and talent. Since then, she has been out of control. In five or six years, the family has revitalized to its peak time compared to the past. Now some businesses can even be related to the royal merchants!
Besides being extremely smart, this lady of the Bai family is also very beautiful, just like a fairy who has descended to earth. Because her appearance is too eye-catching, this lady of the Bai family wears a veil on weekdays. I had the honor of seeing the real face of the Bai family, and she really looks like a fairy.The man surnamed Zhao said, and his eyes couldn't help but look obsessed.
Oh, so what about the one around me?Wuming asked with a smile.
The man surnamed Zhao looked at Feng Li beside Wu Ming, and was stunned by Feng Li's beauty for a moment. After a while, he moved his eyes awkwardly.
Then he slowly said: The fairy beside the young master has a peerless appearance and a unique temperament. She has her own merits and a lady in the Bai family. This is really hard to compare.
Oh, do each have its own merits?Wuming whispered.
By the way, can you tell me why there are so many refugees in my Taiwan? As far as I know, the people of Da Chi Kingdom live a wealthy life, so there shouldn’t be so many refugees.Did you encounter any natural disaster?Wuming asked with his head up.
Alas, it can be called a natural disaster.The man surnamed Zhao gently clasped the folding fan, put it in his palm, and sighed: You can tell that there is a big city more than a hundred miles away from this place, called Fengcheng, and there is a population of nearly one million.
Is it something going on in this city?Could it be that it was a plague?Wuming guessed.
It's not just a plague. About two months ago, a large number of blood-killing Taoist soldiers who had disappeared for a long time suddenly appeared in Fengcheng, and started killing and slaughtering in Fengcheng. I heard that there were several masters of the Heavenly Dao Realm who died on the spot. These were all immortal figures Ah who could not see on weekdays, and so many died in an instant.The man surnamed Zhao shook his head as he said that, frightened.
Then what about the people who killed blood later caught them?
The man surnamed Zhao continued: His Highness the Prince was in the Eastern Region at that time. After receiving the news, His Highness the Prince immediately led the army to Fengcheng, but it was still a little late. The Blood Killing Dao had already slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people in the city. When His Highness the Prince arrived, they were already hurriedly preparing to evacuate. He heard that the two sides had fought and finally killed two Heavenly Dao masters who were Blood Killing Dao. His Highness seemed to have been injured.
Since all the people who killed blood have retreated, what are the matter with these refugees?
Zhao Zhouyuan looked at the black refugees in front of him and said with a heavy expression: Although the Blood Killing Dao retreated, when the Blood Killing Dao slaughtered the city, the Ten Thousand Poison Caves and the Corpse Burying Tomb also took the opportunity to cause trouble, spreading many plague poisonous insects, which were extremely contagious. After being infected, they would almost die. Even some cultivators with lower cultivation could not resist, and there were also living zombies attacking living people everywhere. The remnants of the blood Killing Dao who were pursuing the royal family would come out from time to time to slaughter. Now there is a dead place in Fengcheng. The surviving people in Fengcheng and the people around Fengcheng are all panic and are fleeing farther around.
During this period, the royal family sent a lot of people to search for traces of the remnants of blood-killing Taoism around Fengcheng. Recently, the guards of Fangchuan City, which is more than 100 miles away, have increased by about five times.Moreover, anyone who can provide clues to blood killing will be rewarded. Anyone who colludes with the remnants of blood killing will be punished severely, and the investigation will be severely investigated.Even the city lord who doesn't usually take care of things has worked much more diligently these days.
So that's how it is. This blood killing Tao is really unscrupulous and dares to commit such a murder.Wuming was shocked after hearing this.
That's right, I just hope that His Highness can eliminate these evil demons as soon as possible.
After that, Wuming and Fengli stopped to see the situation outside the city, then got down the mound. A figure followed Wuming and the others to get down the mound. After Wuming and Fengli entered the city, they found an inn to stay in, preparing to rest for one night and continue their journey tomorrow.
In the direction of the porridge shed, Miss Bai was still helping to distribute porridge. The porridge shed was extremely hot. Miss Bai would lift her sleeves from time to time to wipe the sweat on her forehead. The long queue in front of her did not look reduced at all, and I am afraid that there would be no time left.
Sister, okay, we escaped from Fengcheng. My parents died in Fengcheng to protect us. Only my younger sister and I depend on each other. My sister is almost out of the way. Please take us in. I can do anything. Please save my sister.
A lame beggar in the front of the line, who looked eight or nine years old and had a torn dress, did not take the porridge bowl, but knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to the Bai family, begging and crying.
In the arms of the little lame man, he was still holding a young girl of six or seven years old who was so angry that he was a little girl of six or seven years old. If he didn't treat him in time, he would probably not be able to live for a few days.
Alas, where did the little beggar come from?Back down and don't get the lady's clothes dirty!A manager next to him said slightly dissatisfied.
fine.The lady of the Bai family looked at the brother and sister, and a look of pity appeared in her eyes.
She saw that there were many stumbled wounds in the little lame man's ragged clothes that had not healed, and the calves were covered with bruised and swelling marks.
And although these two children were dressed in ragged clothes, judging from the fabric they wore, they should have been a wealthy family before.
There are more than a hundred miles of land, two children under ten years old who are usually pampered and live in poverty, and I don’t know how they escaped.
Miss Bai sighed: Manager Liu, taking these two children to the clinic for a visit, they are all miserable children.
Thank you Miss Bai, thank you Ah!I will remember your great kindness and virtue in my heart!The little cripple who was kind-hearted knelt on the ground and choked, and said with great gratitude.
Little beggar, you are lucky. If you meet my lady, come with me.The manager just now looked at the little beggar and said.
After Manager Liu took the brother and sister away, Miss Bai looked at the mound in the distance, and there seemed to be fewer people standing on the mound.
But then he didn't care anymore and continued to focus on the porridge cooking.
Don't crowd, everyone.
Outside the city, there were large groups of refugees gathered, and groups of refugees were sitting or lying in rags, gathering into a black mass outside the city, lifeless and extremely depressing.
Wu Ming opened the curtain and frowned at the refugee settlement outside the city. Along the way, the closer he got to the city, the more refugees gathered. Now, except for a main road that was built by officers and soldiers, the rest of the city was almost occupied by refugees.
