Chapter 913 Disaster
"Uncle, what are you doing?" Xiao Zai Ye walked up to the family and asked.
They looked like a family and were relatively safe, so I went up to them and asked.
"We are heading north to the capital. There is no way to survive here. There are disasters everywhere. Our land and homes have been flooded. We are going to the capital to make a living. Maybe our lives will be better." The old man looked at the young man in front of him. He was so strong and must have eaten well.
"Disaster-stricken? Are you from the south of the Huai River?" He knew that whether in ancient times or in later generations, the areas south of the Huai River were generally hit by serious floods.
"Yes, when there is less rain, we can still harvest some food. This year the rain is heavy, and we want to get to the capital earlier, maybe we can live a few more years." The old man said to the young man in front of him.
"These are all from our village. One third of them have been killed or injured before they could get here. It's not easy!" The old man looked sad.
Xiao Zaiye felt unwell all over.
The south was hit hardest.
Even in later times, in many places in the south, it was not until the 21st century that many people came out of the mountains.
Only by building roads everywhere can more people be allowed to come out.
He looked at so many people in front of him and wanted to help, but he didn't know how to start.
To this world, he was an outsider and got on the carriage reluctantly.
Gu Yao poked her head out of the carriage: "How is it?"
"The floods south of the Huaihe River should be caused by problems with water conservancy, which led to the serious floods!" Xiao Zaiye's eyes were still looking at the group of people who continued to move forward.
"Brother Ye, even if we want to help them now, it would not be good if we help one person and then get besieged. There is a lot of food in the warehouse. If we want to donate it or set up a soup kitchen, it is better for us to cooperate with the local government." They have finally survived to this day, so naturally they don't want anything to happen.
"Well, let's go to the nearest provincial capital. Anyang should be ahead. Let's stop here!" Xiao Zaiye continued to drive the carriage forward.
"Then let's stay here! We can come here not just to survive. Maybe God wants us to do something for this world. We have seen these things and have food in our hands. It seems a bit unreasonable not to do something." Gu Yao pinched her eyebrows and said.
"Well, okay, let's listen to my wife. Let's go to Anyang and stop to rest." Xiao Zai Ye said with a smile.
Arrived at Anyang, a plain area.
There are abundant grain production areas here.
Many people want to settle down here.
Many wealthy families outside Anyang city came out to distribute porridge.
But looking at the people queuing up behind, there are so many that they are countless.
"Wife, let's go in first and find an inn to stay in, and then go and find out what's going on here." Xiao Zaiye said, and lined up to enter the city.
Anyang is a must-go place on the way to the capital.
Many refugees have arrived here.
"Sure enough, this grain-rich province is not a lie. Even in ancient times, a place like this would be considered extremely wealthy. Look at the mental outlook of the people here, they are different from those in other places." Gu Yao looked at the people in this city excitedly.
Everyone's face is full of flesh, and it seems that most of them are living a pretty good life.
"There is plenty of food here and the geographical location is good, so naturally the people's lives are better than in other places." Xiao Zai Ye stood on the upper floor of the inn, watching the people coming and going.
"Knock knock knock." The sound of knocking on the door rang in the ears of both of them.
Xiao Zai Ye raised his hand and said, "It should be a clerk in the store. You wait here, I'll go open the door." Xiao Zai Ye took the initiative to go up and open the door.
When he opened the door and saw that it was indeed the waiter, he felt relieved: "What's the matter?"
The waiter smiled and bowed, saying, "Sir, let me take a look. Do you want to order food? What do you need? We can start preparing the ingredients in advance."
When talking about food, Gu Yao came over and said, "Bring up some of your signature dishes! Bring up one portion of any delicious ones."
The waiter's face was about to bloom with a smile: "Sir, isn't it a bit too much for two of you?"
The food in their inn was pretty good to him.
Xiao Zaiye continued, "Since you are asked to serve, you should all come up. Don't worry about not being able to finish the food. We have big appetites, so go ahead and serve. This is a reward, so hurry up and serve the food!"
He took out some change from his sleeve and handed it to the waiter.
This piece of silver looked like it weighed less than half an ounce, but for the clerk, it was already a lot.
The guy smiled and immediately retreated.
Even with the tip, the food was served very quickly.
"It's true, life here is pretty good. If some people from Anyang can stay, it will relieve a lot of pressure on the cities behind." Gu Yao squinted her eyes and ate.
This taste is quite suitable for her.
They are all on the lighter side.
"You rest in the house. I'll go outside after dinner to take a look and ask around." Xiao Zaiye ate the meal, and although it was very fast, it gave people a very beautiful vision.
He looks like a young master from a wealthy family.
The two people were eating, looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.
"I'm not tired. You've been driving alone until now. It's really tiring. Either you go and rest, or we can go together." Gu Yao was reluctant to let Xiao Zaiye continue to work hard.
When two people are together, at least there is companionship.
"You little girl, you are still so naughty. You are so tired from riding in the car and wandering on the road for so long. You are a girl, you should have a good rest." He is the only one who feels sorry for his wife.
Although his wife was still as delicate and beautiful as ever, the tiredness in her eyes made him feel distressed.
He is an old man and nothing can happen to him.
"It's afternoon now. We'll be back soon. Let's go for a walk first. We can talk about anything tomorrow. Let's stay here for a few days and there's no rush to leave." Gu Yao said seriously.
"Okay, let's take a walk along the street we just passed by and see if there are any small things that we can use as souvenirs." Xiao Zaiye said as he started to eat.
After eating, they asked the waiter to take away everything and then left the inn together.
The two people dressed in ancient costumes were dressed like ordinary people. They looked very ordinary without any precious clothes, but their aura could not be ignored.
"I want to eat candied haws." Gu Yao said, pointing at the people carrying candied haws through the streets.
Xiao Zaiye smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go buy it for you."
Xiao Zai Ye trotted over to the vendor and bought two skewers, one for each of the couple.
When he turned around, his breathing stagnated and he almost couldn't breathe. He looked at the place where his wife had just stood with red eyes.
