Master Fu does not envy immortals

Chapter 23 Hunger
Facts have proved that God has not planned to let Jiang Qiongxing burp so early.

Before starving to death, she was lucky enough to find a bottle of Bigu Pill from the storage ring left by Jiang Hu.

Regardless of whether there was an expiration date or not, she hurriedly opened the bottle, poured out a pill, and swallowed it with a flick of her neck.

Feeling the sudden disappearance of the hunger in his stomach, Jiang Qiongxing let out a breath slowly, and said with emotion: "Fortunately, there are immortal cultivators in this world."

If she had known about Bigu Pill, she wouldn't have to bring so much dry food.

She turned the bottle upside down, tried to see how many pills were left in it, and at the same time asked, "Uncle, how long can this Bigu pill last?"

"I don't know." Shi Yueren held a dry grass leaf in his mouth, "Bigudan of different grades can last for a different time, one year more, one day less, I don't know what grade your bottle is."

Jiang Qiongxing froze.

She shook the bottle again, and there was nothing in her palm.

There is only one bigu pill in this bottle!
She just swallowed it whole without even tasting it!

It’s over.

She leaned limply on the carriage, and said in despair: "My father is such a stingy person, he must buy the cheapest one."

I have to continue to worry about food tomorrow.

Hearing this, Shi Yue was stunned for a moment, before saying: "Brother Jiang is not a stingy person, he is very good to friends."

Thinking of the cheap father who was full of cultivators, Jiang Qiongxing sneered disapprovingly: "Yes, I used my mother's dowry to subsidize outsiders every day, and earned a lot of good reputation."

Speaking of the original owner's family, she changed back to the one Shi Yueren saw for the first time.

Like a little hedgehog covered in thorns.

Shi Yueren didn't talk too much about other people's family affairs. Seeing that the sky was getting dark and the refugee team was looming ahead, he reined in his horse and stopped: "Let's go, get out of the car."

After walking for so many days, Jiang Qiongxing was a little bit reluctant to part with the carriage, and Qi Qiai said: "Can't you go by car? The road here is quite spacious."

Shi Yueren snorted and said, "Do you think we are traveling in mountains and rivers?"

"I see that there are also a lot of rich people who ride cars in the ranks of refugees..." Jiang Qiongxing retorted unconvinced.

"Have you forgotten who owns this car?" Shi Yueren pulled her out of the car, untied the horse's rope, and whipped the horse's ass, "There is also a lamp used by a cultivator in the car. Do you think this human trafficker has something to do with a cultivator?"

Watching the horse go away billowing in dust and smoke, Jiang Qiongxing said anxiously, "Those people wouldn't have discovered us, would they?"

"Who knows." Shi Yueren threw the horsewhip into the abandoned carriage on the side of the road, and walked towards the migration team, "So be careful in the future, and don't show your head around, lest you be watched."

"Don't worry," Jiang Qiongxing vowed, "I've seen people's hearts are sinister, they can't fool me."

Shi Yueren gave her a condescending look: "You'd better be."

……

Because of the overnight delay, when they caught up with the refugee team again, they fell behind by a large distance.

The carriage team in front was no longer visible, and even the carts were rarely seen. All around were poor people in shabby clothes. Most of them were empty-handed, and at most they carried a small broken package, which contained a baby with a big head and a small body.

Because of hunger, the team moved extremely slowly. No one spoke, and they were as silent as a group of ghosts. They moved slowly to the front without drought and famine only by willpower.

Jiang Qiongxing mixed in, and looked down at his clothes.

Although it is already full of blood and mud, and there are several holes for air leakage, at least it can still be seen. Compared with the ones next to it that are about to be torn into strips, it can be said to be very decent.

Suddenly, there was a soft sound next to him.

Jiang Qiongxing paused slightly and followed the prestige.

A man with unkempt hair and unrecognizable gender and age, with bare limbs and skinny bones, fell face down on the side of the road, without moving for a long time.

The people around him walked around as if they were used to it, and continued to walk forward.

No one cared what happened to the man.

She paused for too long, and Shi Yueren realized something was wrong after walking a long distance, and turned around and patted her on the back of the head angrily: "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up."

"That person..." Jiang Qiongxing pointed to the fallen figure not far away, looked at Shi Yueren, met his raised eyebrows, and felt something was wrong, and added, "I just happened to see it."

Not a heart attack to help.

"Don't look, I'm out of breath." Shi Yueren pushed her forward, "Hurry up and go."

died?

Jiang Qiongxing walked forward with his strength, but his eyes kept falling on that figure, and he didn't look back until the gray body was blocked by the crowd.

She had never seen a person who starved to death with her own eyes, and she was greatly shocked, thinking that this picture would remain in her memory for many years, but soon found that she was thinking too much.

They walked on the barren plain for two days, but still did not leave the range of the drought.

Although it was only two short days, Jiang Qiongxing felt like two long years had passed.

There was not much food left, and everyone was at the end of their strength. In just two days, a dozen people around her fell down.

Those who are unlucky can only fall on the spot and no one cares about them, slowly waiting for death to completely take away their consciousness. Those who are luckier will be carried on the back by their companions and continue to move forward together.

No one asked for help, because he knew that no one could help him.

Jiang Qiongxing's own situation was not much better, but fortunately, the bigu pill left by her cheap father was not the lowest grade. After two days, she still didn't feel hungry.

This made her somewhat relieved.

In addition to food shortages, water sources are also drying up.

Even the wind seems to be dry in this ghostly place. Originally, Shi Yueren would go out to fetch water at night when everyone was resting, relying on it to relieve alcohol addiction, but now he doesn't go.The nearby river dried up to the point where only the river bed remained, and only occasionally when one was lucky enough to pass by an uninhabited village, one might be able to find a few drops of muddy soup in a well that hadn't completely dried up.

One of them is an immortal cultivator who can't die without drinking water, and the other can barely make do with Bigu Dan, so they no longer compete with these poor people for the few water resources.

Jiang Qiongxing became more and more silent day by day, as if he had been assimilated by these refugees.

She had made a vow in front of Shi Yueren that she would never forget the promise that she would never ignore other people, but the scene in front of her made her once unwavering thoughts shaken.

As if seeing her shaking, Shi Yueren said in a low voice: "You can't help anyone, you are not as tall as someone else's waist."

"Uncle, why don't you help them?" Jiang Qiongxing asked.

She doesn't think Shi Yueren is the kind of ruthless person. If he was really ruthless, he would not have helped her when he was at her house.
