If it were normal times, Shen Lingfei would have started cursing a long time ago.

But now, he looked at the girl pulling him, who was only seven or eight years old. She looked helplessly at him with big eyes. She was dirty and half-clothed.

Shen Lingfei couldn't say a harsh word.

Shen Lingfei slowly squatted down, eye level with the little girl, and asked: "What's the matter?".

But the little girl said: "Brother, can you give me something to eat?".

Shen Lingfei's eyes did not leave the girl, and he ordered the people behind him: "Go and get some food."

Shiliu quickly brought the steamed buns and rice porridge, and Shen Lingfei handed the steamed buns to the girl.

The little girl took the steamed bun, swallowed her saliva, and dyed the steamed bun black with her little hands, but did not eat it.

Shen Lingfei thought she didn't have enough and said: "Eat, there is still a lot more."

The little girl shook her head and asked cautiously: "Can I give it to my brother?".

Shen Lingfei was stunned and said: "Of course, where is your brother?".

The girl took Shen Ling to a refugee gathering place, where many refugees gathered together.

Shen Lingfei's arrival attracted their attention, and they all gave way, as if they were more afraid of Shen Lingfei than the flood.

Shen Lingfei didn't know why, but he still followed the girl to the inside. In Young Master Shen's eyes, all the mess here seemed to have disappeared.

What Shen Lingfei saw was their misery and despair. There were many powerful people in the capital, but they could not accommodate all the refugees.

The little girl came to a corner. Even during the day, the light here was very weak. There was a straw mat in the corner, which had turned black. There was a small figure on the straw mat.

The little girl knelt down and picked it up. It was a baby, a swaddled baby boy, less than one year old.

At this time, the baby boy closed his eyes tightly, his eyes were blue and black, and his lips were pale.

The girl held the baby in her arms, rocked it gently, and called, "Guo'er, wake up, we have food, we won't be hungry anymore."

The baby is unresponsive.

The girl continued to call: "Guo'er, stop teasing your sister, wake up quickly, can you have some porridge when you wake up?".

The baby was still unresponsive.

Shen Lingfei's heart sank to the bottom, as if there was a big stone pressing on his chest, and he couldn't breathe.

Shen Lingfei knelt down, stretched out his hand gently and said, "Give me the child."

The girl gave the baby in her hand to Shen Lingfei.

Shen Lingfei held the baby in his arms, so light that it was weightless. He raised his hand, slowly approached the baby's breath, and paused under the tip of the baby's nose. The baby was no longer breathing.

The tip of Shen Lingfei's nose felt sore, and he didn't know what to do for a moment. He turned to look at the girl who was still waiting for the answer. Looking at the girl's innocent and clear eyes, Shen Lingfei couldn't say anything deceptive.

But he still said: "Your brother is asleep. He is still too young to eat rice porridge. Can I ask the wet nurse to take him to breastfeed?"

The girl looked at Shen Lingfei with pure eyes and said, "Brother, is Guoer dead?".

She actually noticed that Shen Lingfei had a heart attack. She hesitated and said, "I'm sorry, I came too late."

The girl shook her head, "No, both parents are dead, and now Guo'er is dead too, not because of her elder brother, but because of the water, such big water." The girl gestured with her hand.

Shen Lingfei looked at the emotionally stable girl and knew that she probably didn't understand life and death, so she was so quiet.

Moreover, these refugees do not know the cause of the flood, but they know in their hearts that it has something to do with them.

Just when Shen Lingfei was still immersed in self-blame, the girl spoke again.

"Brother, can I bury my younger brother and my parents together?".

Shen Lingfei was surprised and asked: "Did you bury your parents?".

"I buried it."

Shen Lingfei followed the girl to two more mounds. The mounds were so short that if it weren't for the two wooden signs, it would be hard to tell they were graves. There was no writing on the wooden signs.

Shen Lingfei couldn't understand how she felt now. This girl understood. She understood life and death, and she understood what the dead were like.

But she was still so pure, without a trace of dust, and her strength shocked Shen Lingfei.

Shen Lingfei ordered people to bury the baby and rebuilt the two tombs. Two figures, one big and one small, were watching the guards repair the tombs.

Shen Lingfei asked the girl "What's your name?".

"My name is Chen Sisi, and my brother's name is Chen Guoer."

"Will you follow me?".

"Yes, big brother is a good person."

Good guy? For the first time, someone told him that he was a good person. It turned out that he who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun was also a good person.

Shen Lingfei found some clothes for Chen Sisi and gave her a bath. After cleaning, Chen Sisi was very cute, like a lucky doll.

Qing Xiao saw that the girl Shen Lingfei was holding had a headache, but she just looked at him deeply and did not stop her.

Shen Lingfei was very active in the subsequent rescue, cooking medicine, serving porridge, and rebuilding the house. Shen Lingfei participated in everything and almost did it himself.

With his dirty clothes and disheveled hair, Shen Ling's demeanor could no longer be seen from flying to the sun. Along with him was a man named Gu Mingrui, the minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Originally, the Ministry of Industry was detained and guarded, but Beicheng was Gu Mingrui's home, so he asked to come back for help, and Emperor Yan agreed. In fact, it was Qing Xiao who asked for mercy.

Gu Mingrui is very accomplished in house construction. He can build a house the fastest and best, and it is stronger than ordinary houses, warm in winter and cool in summer.

They treat the refugees like family members. They are both outstanding people in helping refugees, so they secretly compete with each other. Shen Lingfei does everything personally, while Gu Mingrui takes care of everything. The repair of Beicheng is much faster than other places.

At night, everything was silent. Shen Lingfei ate and lived with the refugees, as did Gu Mingrui.

On the Datong bunk, Shen Lingfei was sleeping soundly. Chen Sisi opened her eyes and looked at Shen Lingfei who was sleeping next to her.

After watching it quietly for a while, he took out a dagger from under the pillow. A cold light flashed in the dark night, but Shen Lingfei didn't notice it at all.

Chen Si's hand holding the dagger trembled slightly, and he slowly approached Shen Lingfei's neck. The moment the tip of the knife touched Shen Lingfei's neck, Gu Mingrui knocked the dagger out.

The dagger fell to the ground and made a sound. Shen Lingfei was awakened and said: "What's wrong? What's wrong? What happened?".

Looking around, he found that Gu Mingrui and Chen Sisi were both awake. Shen Lingfei was shocked when he saw the dagger on the ground.

"Gu Mingrui, if you can't rob me, you won't kill me and silence me."

Gu Mingrui looked at him like he was a fool, "Idiot, it's not me who wants to kill you, it's her."

Gu Mingrui looked past Shen Lingfei and towards Chen Sisi. Chen Sisi was not flustered, as if he was not the one who was discovered in the assassination.

Shen Lingfei looked at Chen Sisi in shock, "How is it possible? How does she, a child, know how to kill someone?"

But Chen Sisi smiled mockingly, "You can really pretend. You are still pretending to be a good person even now. Yes, I want to kill you to avenge my family."

At this time, Chen Sisi had no purity in her eyes, only hatred.
