Xia Xiaodong originally refused Feng Shiqian's suggestion.
But at this moment, Li Biaotou, the most authoritative person on the trip, happened to come over.
Li Biaotou is about forty years old, which is the golden period for a man to be young and powerful.
He looks like an ordinary person, but his big black eyes, which are always slightly narrowed, reveal a smooth sophistication and an indescribable aura.
Chengfu makes people feel that it is better not to offend this person.
"Young Master Feng is the son of the Shang Shu family.
He is actually very kind."
Li's tone was also very kind.
He explained to Xia Xiaodong with a smile: "You are definitely not a disciple.
Miss Xia doesn't need to worry about it.
There are still more than ten days to come.
We are all destined to travel together, so why not go faster?”
That is to say, it was just a few days on the road.
Even if the moral integrity was lost, they would be separated after all, so why bother holding it together?
It would be comfortable for everyone.
Xia Xiaodong couldn't help but laugh, this escort leader Li is really a wonderful person.
Also, it was a coincidence that we bumped into Feng Shiqian on the same road.
Mr.
Feng would have to go back to the capital eventually, so we wouldn't run into each other by chance.
What kind of person is Feng Shiqian?
Of course he knows that it is not suitable for a man and a woman to be alone.
He immediately invited escort Li to join him.
The three of them naturally occupied the best table on the first floor of the inn.
It was next to the window, had no missing corners, and was not short. leg.
It was obviously not the first time that Mr.
Li came to this place.
He ordered a few dishes and ordered a small bottle of Zhuangyuan Red.
Eating and drinking is the easiest way to bring people closer together.
Soon everyone was a little tipsy from the various anecdotes about Li Biaotou, and even Xia Xiaodong drank two cups.
This place is a bit out of the way, but the wine is really good.
After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, he was about to retreat and rest when suddenly there was movement at the door.
Bouncer Li turned his body seemingly unintentionally, facing the door, guarding Feng Shiqian and Xia Xiaodong behind him.
He glanced at the waiters nearby.
Immediately, several waiters quietly stood up. , go out to strengthen the strength of guarding the escort car.
Those who came in, no, tried to come in, were just two young men in ragged clothes.
Both of them were very thin, and they kept begging the postman at the door: "Brother, please let us have a rest and give us some hot water."
The post soldiers were willing to work, and they kept saying: "Come on, hurry up, the people who can get into the post are either senior officials with ministry licenses or merchants from Kenaba.
If you really come in like this, you will offend the nobles and even me."
Everyone will follow suit."
If it weren't for the fact that these two people seemed to be in really bad condition and couldn't help but fight, fearing that someone would be killed in the push, they would probably have taken them away.
The two people supported each other and kept on not falling.
They knew that what the postman said was true.
They had finally managed to sustain themselves so far, so how could they give up.
One of them, who looked a little older, shivered and groped in his arms for a long time, took out a silver earring, and said reluctantly: "We really can't hold on any longer.
It would be ugly to fall here at the door.

This...
This thing is not valuable, just exchange it for two pancakes and two bowls of hot soup."
The post soldier's expression softened a little.
The earring couldn't be simpler.
It was just a small and thin silver ring, but it was silver after all, so it could still be exchanged for two bites of food.
After weighing the situation, they finally dared not let the people in.
The postman found two horses and placed the two people in the corridor.
Sure enough, they brought pancakes and soup.
This scene seemed normal, but Captain Li frowned, and Feng Shiqian also looked a little ugly.
"I'm afraid the disaster will be serious this year."
Li Biaotou seemed to be thinking about something: "There are refugees showing up so early.
It's better to leave early tomorrow and hurry up."
Xia Xiaodong's eyes widened unconsciously.
Is this the legendary reasoning of knowing the smallest details?
Bouncer Li glanced at Xia Xiaodong understandingly and explained: "These two people have narrow foreheads and thick nose bridges.
They should be from the Western Yue area.
It is more than four hundred miles from Western Yue to here.
It can be seen that they have already Starting from my hometown.
Judging from this, the local disaster must be very serious, and the affected areas are also very wide.”
When he said this, Xia Xiaodong felt a little heavy.
Yes, if the area affected by the disaster is not large and the refugees walk for a while, they will naturally stay in the non-disaster area.
Now that we have come so far, it is natural that the conditions along the way are not good and we cannot stop at all.
"Those two are still men."
Feng Shiqian sighed as he was no longer in the mood to eat.
"Yeah" Xia Xiaodong didn't understand what he meant.
"Among the refugees, the first to fall are the elderly, and then the women and children.
Only the men, especially the young men, will support until the end."
Feng Shiqian said as he took out a piece of silver from his arms.
It seemed that there could be one Looks like two or three.
The old man is in his final years, in poor health and worried about his children and grandchildren.
Whenever they encounter difficulties, some even commit suicide to avoid dragging down the whole family.
Naturally, women and children cannot support men when they have to flee a long distance without enough food.
After Feng Shiqian said this, the two men became even more pitiful.
Unexpectedly, this second-generation official also knew about the sufferings of the people, and Xia Xiaodong felt impressed.
I saw Feng Shiqian calling the postman at the door over, handed over the piece of silver, and said: "Those two people are quite pitiful.
You can use it to help them.
When you see the hungry ones later, take care of them." ” The postman was overjoyed, took the money, and soon brought the two men over to kowtow and thank him.
"There was a severe drought this year, and we couldn't survive it.
We went to the landlords to borrow money, but the landlords couldn't come up with much.
Of our clan, only the eldest brother and his family stayed, and the rest fled.
I walked to Fenhe and cast myself.
Water, sister and daughter-in-law were all sold in Haoxi County, and now we are the only two brothers left.”
The older man probably talked about the situation at home.
His tone was quite calm when he said it, but after he finished speaking, he pursed his lips tightly and the tip of his nose turned red.
He was obviously excited.

"Fortunately there are no children."
The younger brother added, which made the atmosphere even more dull.
"How many people are like you?"
Xia Xiaodong couldn't help but ask.
"Quite a few."
The elder brother grinned, with an expression that looked neither smiling nor crying: "At least 60 people left in the village.
We are fast movers, and now it is estimated that it will be difficult for the rest of us to sell the girls. ” "Yes," the younger brother's eyes were a little confused, but also a little comforting: "My sister and my wife were sold to the Weaving Bureau.
Although it was harder, they should have survived.
If it hadn't been for that time, I'm afraid they really wouldn't be able to sell it now. " Xia Xiaodong looked at the remaining food and wine on the table and sighed to himself.
He could live a happy life if he had enough to eat.
She took out a purse from her sleeve and handed it to Li Biaotou together: "Please help me take it out for disaster relief.
I'm not familiar with the business, so I can only provide some money."
Captain Li did not deny that the money was not for him.
He just put the purse in his arms and pressed it on the outside of his clothes to make sure it was put away: "This is the porridge shed donated to disaster relief when I pass through Jingzhu County tomorrow. ” Xia Xiaodong never expected that this kind of kindness would actually bring trouble
