After time travel, I became the general's exclusive cook
Chapter 61 The Huaian Famine
"Oh, general, take me there. Qiuqiu will be very obedient and obedient, and will never run around." The soft young man clings to Mu Guichen and acts like a spoiled child, raising his hand to reassure himself that he will be obedient, which makes the man relax mouthed.
Before departure, Mu Guichen went into the palace again, and borrowed the most powerful secret guard leader of his cheap brother to be his bodyguard. This time, he only took Anan with him, and Asi and Abei were going to guard the basement. Those men in black.
With the leader of the dark guards, at least the safety of the teenager can be guaranteed in that environment.
Different from the parade, this time Mu Guichen was awarded the position of imperial envoy, and he took the task to go to the local inspection.
"Chen'er, I can only entrust you with this matter." Mu Qizhen stood at the window with his hands behind his back, and a secret letter was spread out on the desk of golden nanmu, "There is a famine in Huai'an County, but no one has reported it. I need Check it out for me."
"If true..."
"kill!"
"Yes, my younger brother will leave."
Huai'an is a small county in the south. It can't be said that it is very rich, but it will never develop to the point of famine. Therefore, Muqi Town suspects that someone is hiding it and not reporting it.
A group of people pretended to be ordinary people and successfully entered the county seat. At first glance, the people in this city are not much different from other towns. There are vendors everywhere and pedestrians coming and going.
But if you look carefully, you can find that the clothes on these people are more or less patched, and some people's clothes are not even in good condition.
In today's Tianyi, although poor people cannot be eliminated, ordinary people will not wear their old clothes outside unless they have no better clothes at home.
"General, they all look so weak."
Indeed, as the young man said, although the people here live as usual, everyone is sallow and thin. Some children are so thin that only a pair of round eyes like purple grapes are embedded in the sunken face. Pitiful.
"Let's go." Mu Guichen protected the young man and walked towards the city. People passing by along the road stared at them with dark, lifeless eyes, and the creeps in their hearts were creepy.
Anan guarded the two of them, but when they were wary of these people, these people were also afraid of them. The young children hid behind the adults and looked at these strangers with a pair of shining eyes .
"Aniang, that little brother looks so good." The less than five-year-old child put his finger in his mouth and looked enviously at Chu Qiu who was being protected in his arms, his eyes full of longing.
The little brother's clothes were also beautiful, and his skin was so fair. The little girl lowered her head, looked at her gray and dirty old clothes and dusty skin, and hid herself behind the adults.
She has a little low self-esteem, but the little girl obviously doesn't understand what low self-esteem means. She just thinks that a dirty person like herself should not appear in front of her beautiful little brother, and will be laughed at.
Chu Qiu blinked and tugged on the man's sleeve, Mu Guichen turned his head and asked the boy what happened.
"General, give way first."
Mu Guichen frowned disapprovingly, these people don't live in a rich place like the capital city, if they get in touch rashly, they may cause accidents.
"General?"
Chu Qiu's watery eyes prayed, one foot had stepped out of the protective circle, in desperation, Mu Guichen had no choice but to let go and let the boy do what he wanted to do.
The boy laughed happily, then locked his eyes on the small body, trotted over and squatted down, and opened his arms to the little girl who was carefully watching him with big eyes: "Come here."
The little girl’s eyes were filled with the gentle smile of a teenager. She turned sideways and took a small step from the adults, but those adults were not as innocent as children. They watched these outsiders more vigilantly. Seeing that the boy's hand was about to touch her, the parents grabbed the little girl to protect her behind.
Chu Qiu withdrew his hand in embarrassment. He was reckless. As a parent, he would not let strangers get close to his child.
"Feel sorry."
The young man lowered his head, his tone extremely disappointed, he really just wanted to hug this child.
"Qiuqiu, let's go."
The man thought of this result from the very beginning, but sometimes, what others said was not as impressive as his personal experience, although he felt very distressed when he saw the loneliness on the boy's face.
Pulling the boy up from the ground, he knelt down and wiped off the dust on his clothes, and said, "Don't make a sad face, let's find a place to live first."
Chu Qiu nodded, turned his gaze away from the little girl, and returned to the team.
He didn't see, after they left, the little girl hiding behind her parents looked at him for a long time...
Huai'an is a hilly area with few plains, and there are only a few fields that can grow food. Now it's autumn, which should be the harvest season, but these fields are bare.
Anan stopped a man squatting in the field rummaging for something, and asked him doubts: "Old man, why are the people in the city so thin and weak, and there is no harvest in the field?"
On the dry and wrinkled face of the man blown by the wind, a pair of cloudy and godless eyes looked at the soil of Heissuo, "pat", a tear fell and disappeared in the soil.
The man shook his head, withdrew his arm from Anan's hand, and limped away. It was at this moment that several people discovered that the man's left leg was twisted in a strange posture, as if after being interrupted. due to lack of timely treatment.
"Master, it seems that there are secrets in this city."
The leader of the dark guard raised his head arrogantly, squinted at Anan who was full of emotions, and complained: An excellent dark guard should not talk too much.
Several people booked two rooms in the largest inn in the city, one for Mu Guichen and Chu Qiu, one for the head of the secret guard, and one for Anan, and the three rooms happened to be adjacent to each other.
"General, I'm hungry, let's go eat."
Lying on his back on the bed, the young boy whose stomach was rumbling non-stop looked at the man wearing the belt expectantly. Mu Guichen fastened the hidden button of the belt, stretched out his hands to support the boy's waist, and pulled him up from the bed.
The four of them went downstairs, sat down in a corner in the lobby, and called Xiao Er to order food.
"What do you want, sir?"
Chu Qiu looked Xiaoer up and down with a smile on his face, and pursed his lips.
"Three dishes and one soup, all must be good." Anan said.
Xiao Er's smile widened, and he happily responded and ran to the kitchen to order food. They were the only guests at this table in the huge hall, which seemed empty and deserted.
The young man grabbed Mu Guichen's sleeve and pulled it hard, the man obediently bent his head and listened to it.
"General, why are his clothes so new?"
Yes, even Chu Qiu, a dumb kid, noticed something was wrong, so how could the other three people not notice the problem? But even if they found out, they still had to pretend not to know. They were new here, and they didn’t even know the situation in the county. It's clear, it's better to be a little patient.
"Shh, Qiuqiu don't just say it casually, just treat him like everyone else."
Talking too much and knowing too much is not a good thing.
While waiting, Chu Qiu saw the cold wind blowing fallen leaves across the desolate street through the gap in the window. In a certain corner, a little beggar was protecting half of a dirty steamed bun, and was covered by a bigger children playing around.
No matter how desolate the young man who had never experienced these things, his eyes were red on the spot, and when he was comforted by the man on his shoulder, Mu Guichen said softly: "I told you not to follow, it's uncomfortable."
"Well," Chu Qiu buried his head and made a muffled sound from his nose. He just didn't expect it to be like this, "General, Your Majesty will help them, right?"
In the whole world, could it be the king's land, and that's why Mu Guichen came here.
"Will be fine."
When they find out who is hiding the news from Mu Qizhen, who is the fish and meat people who don't care about their life and death, Huai'an County will be as peaceful as his name.
During the conversation, the waiter served the dishes on a plate, green and crisp green vegetables, clear and oily ginseng chicken soup, stewed tendons with thick oil sauce, fresh and spicy spicy chicken, the dishes are rich, and the ingredients are just right. good stuff.
"The dishes are ready, the guest officer is slow to use."
The four people watching the dishes at this table almost had a myocardial infarction, and their anger rose immediately. The people outside were starving and cold, but even this small inn can produce such good dishes.
"Damn it, I'll arrest the store owner!" Even the leader of the dark guard, who had always been emotionally weak, burst into foul language angrily, wishing he could beat the store owner up.
Anan pressed his veined hand and shook his head at him. They couldn't expose themselves yet, and the leader of the secret guard dropped his chopsticks angrily, and walked outside.
The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment, and Mu Guichen picked up a chopstick dish and put it in Chu Qiu's bowl as if nothing had happened: "Let's eat first, and only when we are full will we have the energy to check."
Anan nodded angrily, holding the bowl and trying to pick up the rice. Chu Qiu sniffed and started to eat. Although he...was useless, he could not hold back.
The end of his eyes swept across the door, and Chu Qiu paused for a moment while pinching the chopsticks to pick up vegetables, turned his little head left and right, and after making sure he read correctly, he waved towards the door.
The little girl with a dark face stood cautiously at the door, her big eyes flickered, but she refrained from stepping into the inn.
Seeing this, Xiao Er, who was dozing off at the side, stepped forward and started to chase her away. Chu Qiu couldn't sit still, and quickly stopped Xiao Er's movements: "Wait a minute, let her come in."
Xiao Er pouted, looking reluctant.
"This is for you, let her in." Mu Guichen took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and threw it to Xiao Er. Xiao Er smiled happily, put the silver on his teeth and bit the hole, and after confirming that it was true, his attitude was straightforward. There was a big change, and the little girl was politely led to the table.
The little girl still seemed a little scared, especially Xiao Er, she was shaking when she walked over, Chu Qiu stepped over Mu Guichen, hugged the terrified little girl into her arms, and patted her frail body. The skinny back soothes.
"Hey, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
Xu Shi smelled the faint bamboo fragrance from the young man's body, and the little girl quickly calmed down, only sobbing once and for all, her ashen-stained face was even more dirty.
Chu Qiu held the handkerchief to wipe the little girl's tears distressedly, and then called the little girl to bring a basin of warm water and wipe it carefully. After a while, the ugly little girl turned into a clean little girl, even though the clothes were still worn out. Unbearable.
"What a beautiful little girl, but she's too thin, she needs to mend it." Chu Qiu pinched the little girl's sunken cheeks, and put a small bowl of rice in front of her.
"Eat."
Before departure, Mu Guichen went into the palace again, and borrowed the most powerful secret guard leader of his cheap brother to be his bodyguard. This time, he only took Anan with him, and Asi and Abei were going to guard the basement. Those men in black.
