I went to the temple after traveling through time, and he turned out to be a monk!

Bai Zhi just watched them dragging away the bodies of the two children, helpless.

Among the few people, Bai Zhi saw the strange figure wearing a bamboo hat again.

It’s two children stacked up to form one person!

Their legs were shaking and they didn't dare to move.

Bai Zhi was not much better, she did not disturb them, but retreated to the corner.

It wasn't until everyone left that the two children started to move tremblingly.

Bai Zhi followed them quietly, turned left and right, and turned several streets before they split into two people from one person and ran away.

On one side was a child who was so scared that he wet his pants, and on the other side was Bai Zhi who injured her foot. Neither of them could run fast.

Bai Zhi followed them into a courtyard. She was locked out of the door, but there was a hole in the courtyard wall that had not been completely repaired. Bai Zhi took some effort to get in.

This is a courtyard, and the courtyard is as clean as if no one lives in it. They did not go straight to the room, but entered a thatched house built in the corner.

According to common sense, a thatched house in a corner like this is usually a toilet. Bai Zhi carefully hid in the corner and observed. But those two children were not the only ones in the yard, she was discovered by several other children.

Several children stared at her as if they were monsters and picked up sticks one after another.

Although they are all children and are not strong in fighting ability, there are many people on the other side, so Bai Zhi had to comfort them, "Don't be afraid, children, I won't hurt you. Don't be nervous, okay?"

Bai Zhi's voice was shaking.

The other party was still wary, and Bai Zhi tried to comfort him to no avail.

Suddenly an old man's voice came from the thatched house, "Don't be afraid, children, please let the girl come in!"

The voice was old and weak, revealing a kind of helpless weakness.

Bai Zhi was escorted into the house by the children. She immediately saw the old man lying on the bed. His hair was all white, messy and sparse.

The old man seemed unable to move, and only looked up and down at Bai Zhi with his cloudy eyeballs, "Why did the girl follow you here?"

Bai Zhi saw that they were all very weak people, and the old man spoke like someone who had read books, so she told them the truth.

After hearing this, the old man shed two lines of tears from his eyes. His hands moved randomly, as if he wanted to support the bed and get up, but he didn't have any strength. He really couldn't move, so he could only say, "I'm sorry, girl, grab it." I took your things...but please forgive me, Miss, for not being able to return the things to you...I'm really sorry..."

Bai Zhi felt uncomfortable hearing this, and she said, "Uncle, I'm not here to collect debts. I'm also new here. I want to know what happened in this city?"

After hearing this, the old man let out a long sigh, "Hey... no matter why the girl came to this city, I hope the girl will leave..."

"When walking, don't take the main road, take the narrow path, and don't meet anyone. The people here... can eat people!"

After saying this, the old man coughed with excitement. The two children supported the old man bitterly and patted his chest in a decent manner.

"Old man, do you need my help?"

Bai Zhi didn't know why she asked this question. She obviously couldn't protect herself, but she couldn't help but ask this question.

After hearing these words, the old man paused for a moment, then struggled desperately, and sat up with the help of the two children. He looked at Bai Zhi, and his eyes became moist.

Then he started crying and seemed to be laughing.

It was difficult for Bai Zhi to describe what kind of state she was in. She was crying, laughing and going crazy. It was like getting hope when she was desperate, but then thinking about it, her hope was shattered and turned into despair and desolation.

This look was like a sharp knife, cutting Bai Zhi's heart one by one.

"If possible, I really hope that girl can help us, but girl, you can't help us. There is no way to save us in this world. What can you, a little girl, do? If you harm the girl, we will be guilty..."

Bai Zhi took a deep breath, pulled up a small stool next to her and sat down. She said, "Please tell me whether you are willing to help and whether you can help. I will make a decision after listening..."

The old man looked at Bai Zhi's serious eyes and took a deep breath. He began to talk.

"This place is a mess."

"Three years of natural disasters have emptied everyone's wealth. Officials have failed to act, and people have no means of livelihood."

"The common people who had no way out had only one choice, and that was to become bandits. When the people had nothing to eat, they became thieves to get something to eat. As a result, the number of thieves and bandits increased, and they were able to compete with the government in the future!"

"Half a year ago, the government finally couldn't sit still and wanted to suppress the bandits. But it was too late. They did not expect that the number of bandits was already out of control, and even the officers and soldiers could not match them. So Danning City fell. The officials were forced into a desperate situation by the bandits and retreated to the south of the Danning River."

"Danning City was originally divided into two parts by the Danning River, so from then on, south of the Danning River were the officials and the rich people, and north of the Danning River were the poor like us who couldn't afford to buy anything. The man of Danning’s ultimatum.”

"A river separates the sky from the earth!"

"The thieves occupied the north of Danning City, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil. They came to the city to rob food and rob women. But the food was not endless. After they ran out of food, they started to eat the children! Boiled in water and oil! They lost everything. Good nature!"

"Gradually, no one in the city dares to go out. Even if there is no disaster this year, no one dares to go out to work! Without work, there will be no food. If there is no food, they will rob it. When the food is gone, they will rob children and women. !”

"Everyone hates the bandit, but they all become bandits!"

"So in Denning City, there is no trading, only robbing!"

Bai Zhi was horrified when she heard this, "Danning City is occupied by bandits, and the court doesn't care?"

"The imperial court? What is the imperial court? Nanchen or Beichen? They are robbing those cities with lush water and grass. When have they ever taken care of our remote Denning? As long as the people in Denning City pay them, they will feel that this place is peaceful! "

"Then since the thieves have occupied half of the city, don't they have anyone to lead them? Someone must grow food and trade to make money?" Bai Zhi simply didn't understand.

"The thieves and bandits are all poor people like us. The poor have not studied. How can we care about tomorrow! We are full today and not hungry today! We make a living by fighting for territory! When there are more people, there will be several villages, each working on its own affairs, and it will be chaos!"

"How could this world become like this? How could it happen?"

The old man shook his head. He was puzzled. In other words, it wasn't that he didn't understand, but that he couldn't believe it.

Bai Zhi thought of everything she saw in the city and felt sad.

The rising sun cannot knock on the closed door, and money cannot buy a bite of food. Everyone's face is full of fear.

There is no trading and no control here, only everyone is in danger.

Order is broken!

To the thieves, this broken order may be called freedom or strength.

But for ordinary people, it is suffering.

To survive in such a world, it's either the worst! Either the strongest!

Old people, children, women, sick people, dwarfs, people with little strength, people with a gentle personality, people who are not cruel enough, all ordinary people are all ants, cheap grass and dust!

What a helpless ghost place!

Even if the government is vicious and imposes exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, it is better than this world without order.

But in the end, they are all equally vicious!

Bai Zhi gritted her teeth and couldn't say a word.

She really couldn't help them at all, she couldn't even see her own way out!
