NOVEL NEXT Chapter 343 Refugees
Although she said so, Ye Zhuoyu understood that there was an opportunity to explain this matter to him, but he failed to seize this opportunity.
I don’t know how much more effort will be needed to investigate this matter in the future.
"But……"
"It's nothing, but it's expected that no evidence can be found. Besides, they can't erase all the traces so cleanly. In addition to the ruined temple, you can search the nearby areas. You will definitely find some things that you don't pay attention to at ordinary times. clues."
Ye Qingran said, and stood up to think about it, "There are so many of them, and the amount of kerosene they have to carry is frightening. Although they have already thought about how to erase the evidence, there will always be things they missed, so just check it slowly." ”
"it is good."
Ye Zhuoyu said no more, it would inevitably seem a bit pretentious if he continued to say so.
After they arranged the manpower to continue the investigation, they planned to set off directly to the north so as not to delay the follow-up matters.
They also passed many villages and small towns along the way. The farther away from the capital, the more desolate they became. The farther away they were, the more they were refugees fleeing famine.
Ye Qingran couldn't stand it anymore and stopped at a place where hungry corpses were everywhere.
When the late emperor was in charge of the country, he only focused on war and did not care about the life and death of the people. Now that the emperor is in the hands of the emperor, he does not have the ability to adjust. It can even be said that he does nothing. He clings to the territory that the late emperor conquered because he is afraid of being snatched back and lost. s face.
The emperor is useless, and it is these people who suffer.
They could have lived a stable life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset, but they were forced to accept these pains because of the mistakes of the superiors.
Since it's not their fault, why not help them?
Ye Qingran took the initiative to slow down the formation, and Ye Zhuoyu naturally had no objection. Together with her, he bought some food for these villagers from far away and delivered it to them.
After distributing food, she discovered that most of these villagers were refugees who had fled from other places. They only gathered here temporarily and did not even have a place to live. They could only spend the night in a dry corner every day.
In such cold weather, they will freeze to death sooner or later if they continue like this.
After they were all full, she organized these people to start cutting down trees to build houses. She also specially brought them a lot of tiles, enough for them to build several houses.
In the current situation, it is impossible for one person to live in a house. The only option is to build a slightly larger house so that they can squeeze in and have a place to live.
The villagers received her favor and regarded her as a fairy-like existence, and during this period they obeyed her words.
Building a house cannot be completed in a day or two. Ye Qingran stayed here for several days and provided for almost all their food.
The villagers seemed to be used to getting food from her, and after the houses were built, they would still come to her to get food.
Ye Qingran looked at them and didn't think it was anything. After all, she was not short of food, but the eyes of these people were no longer as grateful as they were at the beginning, but more natural.
So she lied that there was no food and planned to see their attitude.
Sure enough, when they mentioned there was no food, their faces changed and they shouted at her to buy it.
"I have bought you food for so many days, and I have no money to buy it."
She said this without any fluctuation in her eyes.
These villagers were a little unconvinced: "Why are you pretending to be a God of Wealth here when you have no money? We really thought you were a fairy who came to save us and we only listened to your instructions to work. How come you don't care about the food after you finish the work?"
"Yes! I'm so tired these days that my waist is almost broken. Why do you say that if there is no food, there will be no food? I don't care. If you can't bring out the food, just tear it apart for us to eat!"
"Tear yourself apart!"
The more they went overboard, the more they even talked about cannibalism.
Only then did Ye Qingran realize that these people were at the end of their rope, and even a few days of relief could not change the malice they had in their hearts.
She remembered that when she first arrived, there were many human bones piled up on the ground. She originally thought they were people who died of starvation, but now that she thought about it carefully, they should be people who were eaten.
Ye Zhuoyu saw this situation in front of his eyes and was very angry. He ordered people to drive them back to the house.
"I really shouldn't have saved them. I didn't expect them to be a bunch of white-eyed wolves!"
"It's okay, I should have expected it. The world is like this now. It is difficult to remain pure and kind in such a living environment. Those kind people should already be in their bellies."
Hearing this, Ye Zhuoyu had already imagined in his mind the appearance of these people eating people, and he felt nauseated.
"If that's the case, then why do we need to save them? This is their attitude now. Why don't we throw down some food and leave while they are looting, otherwise they will eat us sooner or later if this continues."
"You're right, so take some people and leave first. I'll rush over to meet you after I've taken care of things here."
Ye Zhuoyu frowned: "I'm not afraid, I'm worried about you. If I leave you here alone, what's the point of leaving?"
He advised, "These people are already thinking this way, so why do you have to help them? Wouldn't it be very dangerous if they acted on you on impulse?"
"I know, but these people are just ordinary people who have reached their end. Now that I'm here, I won't leave until I completely solve the problem here."
Ye Qingran's eyes were firm, "I'm fine, you leave first, I will come to you soon, don't worry."
No one can influence the decisions she makes. Ye Zhuoyu also understands this, so he no longer advises her, but still insists: "Then I will stay with you, I will protect you, and you can just do your thing with peace of mind. ”
"Brother, I'm worried about my parents too. Why don't you rush over and take care of them earlier? I can do it here by myself. After all, there are still guards here."
Ye Zhuoyu knew that he couldn't talk to her, but he was still worried.
After all, most of the escort team went to escort Ye Guodong and Jiang. They didn't have many people left on their own. If he took away some more, she would have few people here.
There are at least dozens of refugees here. Even if Ye Qingran is not bad at it, it will be difficult to resist the attack of so many people. It is still dangerous no matter how you think about it.
But Ye Qingran didn't give him a chance to continue persuading him, and almost drove him to leave quickly.
Although there were many guards on Ye Guodong and Jiang's side, Concubine Xian had been keeping an eye on their family and was not sure whether it was safe or not. He couldn't persuade Ye Qingran, so he had no choice but to go ahead and find her. Ye Guodong and Jiang.
