All Hail Cousin Brother

Chapter 784: cruel

Yu Youyao didn't wait for her to finish her words, supported her weak and weak body, and got up from the bed, Chun Xiao was startled, and hurried over to help her.

At this time, Mrs. Wang brought a bowl of rouge rice porridge into the house, quickly put the small bowl on the table, and came over to the bedside: "What's wrong? Lie back, lay back..."

Yu Youyao grabbed her aunt's hand and said, "Jiazhou House can't easily let us go, and it will definitely join forces with large and small docks near Quanzhou to force us back to Quanzhou in the name of investigating thieves. Xie House is a big taxpayer in the Zhou Dynasty. , subject to the government, the large and small yamen must have the portrait of Xie's house, and once we go ashore, it may be exposed."

Wang Shi looked at her pale face, and her eyes became wet: "Don't worry, the old man and the others have already discussed it. When we evacuated from Quanzhou, we made both preparations and arranged a fake identity document, and just rested outside the city. For a day or two, don’t enter the city.”

Yu Youyao shook her head with a white face: "If you don't go ashore, after sending someone to buy supplies on the shore, leave the Jinxian dock immediately."

Mrs Wang touched her hair distressedly, and coaxed softly, "You have been having a low-grade fever, and the sea is windy and damp in winter. The boat is not as comfortable as usual, so it is not suitable for recuperation. At the wharf, it will take at least ten days for the boat to reach the next wharf.”

Yu Youyao closed his eyes suddenly.

After all, it's still for her.

In a nightmare.

In reality, it is still the case.

Yu Youyao hated herself for not being able to live up to its expectations, and her eyes were red for a while: "Auntie, the Jinxian dock is very close to Jingzhao. If something happens, we don't even have any chance to escape. I don't want you to take risks for me."

Wang was still a little hesitant.

Yu Youyao held her aunt's hand tightly, and her fearful heart was settled bit by bit: "These days, I have been having nightmares every day, always dreaming that the Xie residence hadn't escaped, that's why I was frightened. , I will have a low-grade fever that will not subside, and when I reach the next pier, I will be close to the northern border, and I will be completely relieved."

Wang Shi also knows that Xiao Youyao has often cried at night in the past few days, crying in his mouth: "Run away, leave me alone, I'm sorry..."

Her face gradually became solemn: "You lie back first, and I will discuss with your grandmother."

Xie Manor borrowed the name of purchasing for the You Army, and Yin San came forward to negotiate with the officers and soldiers, and stopped at the pier for a while, but there was no hindrance, and it was very risky to go ashore.

She didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly asked Mrs. Xie to mention this.

Old Mrs. Xie felt sorry for her granddaughter. If Xiaoyao’er was really worried about Xie’s house, and the nightmares continued, stopping the ship and docking would only deepen her anxiety and fear.

I didn't know what to do for a while.

In the end, Mr. Xie made a final decision: "Yin San went ashore to buy some fresh melons, fruits and vegetables, and some appetizing snacks, supply some fresh supplies, and set off when he turned back."

With the token of Prince Wumu's Mansion, the docks are not strict with them. The customs clearance documents are all handed over to the officers and soldiers on the dock. As long as the people from the Xie Mansion do not show up, there will be no major problems.

If his identity is revealed, he can leave immediately.

Yu Youyao finally felt relieved, she used a bowl of rouge rice porridge, and was coaxed to eat a bowl of bird's nest porridge by Mammy Xu, which gave her some strength.

It was rare to get to the shore, and fresh water could be replenished on the shore. Mother Xu took a medicated bath, allowing Yu Youyao to take a bath.

After washing away the fatigue, Yu Youyao's spirit is much better.

"It's not good for your body to be stuffy in the boat all the time." Madam Xu helped her change into a jacket with a fur collar, and put on a snow fox fur cape with a hood, wrapping her tightly.

Although Jinxian Wharf is close to the sea, the climate is not as warm as that of Quanzhou.

As soon as he got out of the boathouse, the salty and wet sea breeze blew into his neck with a biting cold, and Yu Youyao gave a severe blow. She couldn't help shrinking her neck and hugged the hand warmer tightly.

Yu Youyao looked at the pier, her eyes couldn't help but stop.

On the pier, there were many ragged homeless people begging from the pedestrians. A young man dressed as a scholar seemed unbearable and gave up a small piece of silver.

"Young master, okay..."

All the refugees in the vicinity rushed over like crazy and scrambled.

The young man was startled and shouted in horror: "Don't come here, don't come here, help..."

However!

The refugees didn't seem to hear it at all, and more and more people rushed over, pushed the young man down, and went to grab his clothes.

The officers and soldiers on the pier heard the movement, drew their knives and rushed over, shouting angrily: "What are you doing, what are you doing, in broad daylight, let's avoid robbery, is there any way to do it, get out of the way..."

The refugees pushed each other, screaming and cursing.

"Stop it all for me." The officers and soldiers finally couldn't bear it anymore and drew their knives.

Blood splashed out, and the refugees who gathered together screamed and fled, but the young man, lying on the ground with round eyes, died of anger.

There were tears in Yu Youyao's eyes, and her whole body was shaking.

She wholeheartedly believed that by donating to the imperial court, providing relief to the victims, and vigorously promoting the cultivation of sweet potatoes, everyone would be saved and everyone would be spared from the famine.

But the scene in front of her cruelly told her how naive she was.

Jinxian Wharf is still like this. I don't know how many places are the same scene being brutally performed?

Poverty does not drive people crazy, only famine does.

These refugees, they are the most pitiful and innocent people, but they are also hungry beasts. Once they show weakness, they will swarm up.

As long as they are stared at, there is no way to live.

Yu Youyao stared blankly at the corpses on the pier. Some were hacked to death, and some were the corpse of the young son. This is probably the most real and cruel side of this world.

It was far more terrifying than the **** fight staged in front of her.

Chun Xiao was a little uneasy: "Miss."

"I'm fine, let's go in!" Yu Youyao tried his best to control, and his heart gradually collapsed.

She kept telling herself in her heart: The world is like this, Yu Youyao, you can save them for a while, but not for the rest of your life. Did you see the refugees who were hacked to death by random knives on the pier? Xie Mansion is still running for his life. Your so-called kindness may harm Xie Mansion or even those refugees.

At this time, Song Mingzhao, who was about to take office in Dehua, took the land route from Jingzhao and rushed to the Jinshi dock to take a boat. He seemed to have a feeling, glanced at it, and stopped at a building ship in front of the dock.

But he only saw a background draped in snow fox fur, and when he lowered his eyes, he disappeared into the cabin.

He couldn't help but take a few more glances.

The accompanying officers and soldiers quickly said: "That is the merchant ship that King Wumu sent to Fujian to buy military supplies. There are many areas in the north that have suffered from drought. King Wumu, Gao Yi, misappropriated the army to provide relief to the people."
