A silly girl is reborn, and a ruthless prince loves her
Chapter 57: Being short-handed when taking advantage of others, being soft-spoken when eating people
Xuanyuan Qing's eyes darkened and he asked, "How do you say this?"
He had heard a little about what happened in Xichuan. Every time the royal family received news that the flood had stopped, they needed funds from the treasury to rebuild their homes.
Therefore, the treasury has dropped sharply in the past two years, all because of the construction of Xichuan.
Just for disaster relief, the court would arrange it three times a month, but...
He stared at the dusty paste in the earthen pot, and he already understood.
"Those talented people and strangers recruited from all over the country to control floods have not been able to come out after entering the flood zone. They don't know whether they are alive or dead."
Uncle Xue picked a few broad leaves, folded them into tubes, and continued: "Who knows what happened? Could the flood still eat people? Most likely they were silenced by the above."
"Mr. Yan, you don't know something. The situation in Xichuan is far more complicated than you think. Officials are protecting each other, and one is embezzling the court's relief funds. The other is, hey, you have also seen that normal wheat flour is not this color."
Xue Bing evenly distributed the pot of paste into the leaf tube, picked up a bowl, walked to Xuanyuan Qing, and stammered: "Please, please use."
Xuanyuan Qing didn't take it. Xue Bing thought he disliked the dirty bowl, and looked embarrassed, neither giving it to him nor accepting it.
"Thank you, Brother Xue."
Lan Jinyan was afraid that Xue Bing would take it back, so she hurriedly took the bowl of batter for him, put it to her mouth and gently blew away the heat before passing it to him.
"Brother, it's not hot anymore." She smelled the fragrance of the batter and subconsciously licked her lips, her eyes flashing with desire for food.
No matter how hungry she was, she never forgot to let Xuanyuan Qing eat first.
Xuanyuan Qing's pupils moved slightly, looking at her sincere face, her calm heart was disturbed again.
The little girl followed him without even taking a bite of food. Not only did she not complain, but the first thing she thought of after getting the food was him.
Are fools so pure and kind at heart?
No, human nature is evil, this is his personal experience.
This time he didn't refuse. He gently took the bowl of batter and drank it in one gulp without hesitation.
The musty smell filled his mouth. To be honest, it didn't taste good, but he didn't dislike it.
He has eaten even the most disgusting things, let alone moldy things.
After seeing him finish drinking, Lan Jinyan took the other bowl handed over by Xue and sat by the fire, sipping and sipping, looking extremely well-behaved.
"Yes, the government didn't care about our lives for the sake of the bailout money from the court, so our whole family escaped at the risk of death." Uncle Xue divided the remaining batter, picked up a bowl and said while drinking. : "Although the food is moldy, can it still satisfy our hunger? If it were clean food, how could it possibly get into the hands of our poor people!"
There wasn't much wheat flour to begin with, so each of them had a little bit, and they didn't have much on hand, so they drank it all in a few mouthfuls.
Lan Jinyan licked her small mouth, obviously still unfinished. When she heard what Uncle Xue said, she couldn't help but ask: "Grandpa, why?"
"Haha, little girl, you don't understand this."
Uncle Xue wiped his mouth and beard, and said with a slight sarcasm: "If it is good food, it has been exploited by the upper levels, and it will not be shared by the common people. Only the moldy and spoiled food, which the officials will look down upon, will have our turn." .”
No wonder the disaster in Xichuan has not been solved for two years. It turns out that there are people in the DPRK who are lining their own pockets and colluding to take advantage of the national treasury!
Xuanyuan Qing listened quietly without saying a word, having already analyzed the flood in Xichuan thoroughly in his mind.
snort!
I’m afraid even the floods are man-made!
"Second Prince, isn't it the Fourth Prince who is responsible for disaster relief in Xichuan?" Mo An whispered in his ear.
Xuanyuan Qing nodded, frowning slightly, but a smile of unknown meaning appeared on his face.
Xuanyuan Lingfeng is not so bold as to dare to take advantage of the treasury.
Moreover, with his impulsive and reckless temperament alone, he could not have handled such a big game perfectly and deceived it for two whole years.
If the Xue family hadn't run away, I don't know how long it would have taken for the monkey to know the inside story of Xichuan.
"Ahem, to be honest, I have something to ask of you. Xue Bing's uncle was captured by the evil spirits here yesterday. He doesn't know whether he is alive or dead. Can you please help me to get him back?"
Uncle Xue's voice interrupted Xuanyuan Qing's thoughts. Seeing the old man standing awkwardly in front of him, he agreed without thinking.
"it is good."
It's not that he has a kind heart. As the saying goes, he has a short hand and a short mouth, and eats up all the food left by others. He always has to do something for others, right?
Besides, unless he gets rid of the two-headed earthworm, he won't be able to find a way to leave here.
"Then thank you, Mr. Xue." Uncle Xue was very excited.
There was no food left, so we had to wait to die.
He just wanted to see his missing son again before he died.
"Miss Yan, your brother is really a warm-hearted person."
Xue Bing did not expect that Xuanyuan Qing looked unapproachable, but in fact he was a kind-hearted person, and the eyes he looked at him became more and more profound.
"Warm-hearted?"
Lan Jinyan couldn't imagine how the cruel and ruthless Xuanyuan Qing could be associated with the three words "warm-hearted", so she could only respond in a perfunctory manner, "So be it."
But the fact that her brother repaid his kindness made her look at him differently.
After a short rest, several people set off to the depths of the dense forest together.
Considering that one more person meant more danger, Xuanyuan Qing asked Father Xue and Uncle Xue to wait where they were.
As for Xue Bing, he volunteered to go with him and promised that if something unexpected happened, he would not hold Xuanyuan Qing back.
Lan Jinyan was originally going to be left behind, but the previous fright left such a deep shadow on her that she had to follow him life or death.
Xuanyuan Qing couldn't stand her bullying, so he agreed to take her with him.
Therefore, except for the two men from the Xue family, everyone else went on this trip.
"Miss Yan, your brother is so kind to you."
On the way, Xue Bing pestered Lan Jinyan again and walked ahead.
He was very upset because Xuanyuan Qing didn't accept the food he handed him just now.
However, the person who received it from Miss Yan accepted it.
Thinking of this, Xue Bing felt a little sour in his heart.
"Well, hello, brother."
Lan Jinyan nodded noncommittally, and because she had a few mouthfuls of hot soup, she didn't mind him chatting with her.
Despite his unpredictable moods, his brother, at least so far, had responded to her requests.
She likes this kind of brother.
After some contact, Xue Bing had already discovered that Lan Jinyan's brain was a little abnormal, and he felt sorry for her but also a little lucky.
"Do you know what your brother likes, um, what kind of food he likes, what kind of flowers and plants he likes, etc."
Xue Bing knew that there was something wrong with her brain, so he spoke boldly without worrying that she would guess what he was thinking.
"Well." Lan Jinyan pouted and thought hard.
After a while, her eyes were dark and bright, and the corners of her lips could not help but rise.
