Datang: At the beginning, I wanted to rebel against my father-in-law

Chapter 44 Tragic!

"Food?" The little girl was taken aback, and swallowed instinctively.

"I haven't seen food for a long time. Except for these wild vegetables, we don't know what else to eat. Maybe when the wild vegetables are dug up, there will be nothing to eat anymore!"

"How is this possible?" Li Lizhi clenched her fists and turned to look at Su Feng.

Her meaning is very simple, Su Feng has been busy for so long, where did the food that would be sent out every once in a while go?

I don't know if it's because of being a mother. At this time, Li Lizhi looked at the skinny little girl, her mother's love broke out, and her eyes were almost red.

Speaking of which, after so many days, she misses her child a little.

My husband told her that when this place develops, he will build a direct train to Chang'an to pick up the children.

"What's your name?" Li Lizhi looked at the little girl and asked.

"Xiaoying!" The little girl replied timidly.

"Xiaoying, can you take me to see your father?" Li Lizhi squatted down, looked at Xiaoying very kindly and said.

Who knows, when Li Lizhi said this, the expression on Xiaoying's face immediately dimmed.

"My father is gone, and my mother is also sick now. I don't know if I can survive!" Xiaoying said with choked sobs.

"Then why don't you take us to see your mother? Let's bring him something to eat!" Su Feng took out two white steamed buns from the bag, and gently placed one of them in Xiaoying's hand.

When she saw this steamed bun, Xiaoying's eyes burst into light.

There was no time to say anything to Su Feng, she grabbed it in her hand, stuffed it into her mouth without hesitation, and ate it in big mouthfuls.

"Slow down..." Su Feng took out the water bottle and handed it to Xiaoying.

Xiaoying's movements were quick, she ate one steamed bun within a few mouthfuls, and Su Feng didn't stop, and handed the other one to her.

After eating four steamed buns in a row, Xiaoying's movements slowed down.

"Thank you!" Xiaoying said to Su Feng in shock.

After that, she didn't hesitate anymore, and took Su Feng and the two towards the village.

Su Feng pushed the bicycle and followed Xiaoying wearing Li Lizhi.

As they entered the village, they realized that there were actually many people here.

The difference from the outside is that the people in the village are basically elderly people.

After several turns, Su Feng and Li Lizhi were brought to an extremely dilapidated small courtyard.

The door of the small courtyard was completely broken, and it was only blocked by a broken wooden board.

Xiaoying walked in very familiarly, and brought Su Feng and Su Feng to the innermost room.

There was a simple bed in the room, with a pale middle-aged woman lying on it.

At this time, she was in a very bad state, not only because of illness, but most importantly because she hadn't eaten real food for a long time.

When seeing Su Feng and the other two come in, the woman instinctively wanted to sit up, but she couldn't do it after working hard for a long time.

"OK OK……"

"You don't need to get up, your daughter brought us here, here, let's eat something first!" Li Lizhi moved faster than Su Feng this time.

She took out all the food she had with her, including a few pieces of beef jerky.

The woman, who was still weak just now, sat up as fast as she could when she saw the food, and rushed towards the pile of food frantically.

Just like Xiaoying before, the woman frantically stuffed the food into her mouth, even though she was choking and gasping for breath, she still didn't stop her movements.

After a long time, the woman sat down slowly and let out a long breath of relief.

Beads of sweat rolled down from her forehead. The woman looked very tired at this moment, but compared to her previous state, she was much better.

"Thank you...thank you both!" The woman was silent for a moment, and was about to kneel in front of Su Feng and the others.

If it wasn't for Li Lizhi's sharp eyesight and quick hands to arrest the woman first, the woman would probably be kneeling in front of the two of them by now.

Xiaoying didn't speak, two lines of crystal clear tears slipped from his eyes.

"Elder Sister, what's your situation?" After helping the woman up, Li Lizhi finally couldn't bear it anymore, and directly asked her own question.

"How many years have we been in drought here? We can't grow crops in the fields at all, and the court doesn't care about our life or death, so we can only live one day at a time!" The woman sighed, her face full of lovelessness.

If it wasn't for her daughter, the woman might have chosen to solve it by herself.

"its not right!"

"Didn't I hear that some time ago, some important people came to Yan County and distributed a large amount of food to various places. Although the average distribution of food is not much, it is enough for everyone to eat, right?"

"Did you not receive the food?" Li Lizhi frowned and asked again.

When this was mentioned, the expressions of the woman and Xiaoying changed, and Su Feng clearly saw these details.

"I did hear such news at the first time. We did get food here, but people from the Wang family said that the food from the imperial court is not so easy to get!"

"It's okay to get the food, but you have to pay the same price!" The woman sighed and couldn't help but close her eyes.

This seemed to bring back some bad memories for her.

"What price?" Su Feng, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.

"I heard that the court wanted to distribute food to everyone, so we went to the Wang family. The Wang family has always had the final say in Yangliu Village!"

"But these people told us that if we want to get food, we have to pay other prices. What we have to pay depends on the demand for food!"

"They want me to send Xiaoying out. Even if I starve to death here, I will definitely not send Xiaoying to those people!" After saying these words, the woman seemed to have exhausted all her strength.

Looking at the middle-aged woman who kept panting, Li Lizhi's teeth were almost shattered.

She finally understood. What Su Feng said was indeed correct. There were really too many problems involved.

They had done so many things, but someone was making trouble for them. If they hadn't witnessed all this with their own eyes, Li Lizhi wouldn't even have believed it. It happened right under their noses.

Just imagine.

This is the epitome of the entire Tang Dynasty, so is the same thing happening in other places?
