Holy Monk, your benefactor is dead!

"Last year was not a year of severe drought. Why did it happen?" It was only five or six days since we left Weicheng, and we encountered only a few scattered refugees on the road before Weicheng.Now the farther away we are from Weicheng, the more refugees we meet, beyond what Jingyan thought, piles of refugees can be seen everywhere, even abandoned by the roadside, and there are more and more corpses left uncollected.The speed of the carriage was also getting slower and slower. Although I was extremely anxious, I still couldn't let it go.

Jing Yan buried an uncollected corpse that had been gnawed beyond recognition, and looked at the refugees not far away who looked at them cautiously from time to time. Everyone was dressed in rags and straw sandals, and some even stepped on the ground barefoot. Their feet were black, and it was impossible to tell whether they were dirty or frozen.Jing Yan's already heavy mind became a little heavier, and the peaceful atmosphere in his body was replaced by restless emotions. His soft and peaceful brows were tightly locked, like a series of nine rings, and it was difficult to solve his worries.

"The tax is too heavy. In winter and spring, the land has no permanent property. It is the time when the green and the yellow are handed over. The people are naturally unable to eat and wear. I heard that the tax collected by the court has increased by [-]% compared with previous years. The tax is too heavy, so naturally It became the last straw that crushed the people."

Jing Yan stood beside the carriage, his eyes fell on the Yuan family brothers who were playing not far away, walking all the way along the road, Jing Yan collected the corpses along the way, although the journey was extremely delayed, he did not raise any questions about Jing Yan's behavior Objection, as a monk, if this kind of compassion needs to be reminded, how can Buddhism continue.

If..., from the corner of Li Yun's eyes, he glanced at the crowd who seemed to be about to move not far away, and his lips unconsciously evoked a sneer. If there is any unnecessary trouble, let the little monk know See what is the real people's hearts are unpredictable, and the world is unpredictable.

"Benefactor, I don't know if there is any food left in the carriage?" Jing Yan hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't help but open his mouth to Li Yun. He has been meditating in the Canaan Temple all the year round, and he has no desire for food. , and didn't worry about it, but until now, even though he tried to do his best, after all the money that Li Yun gave him was gone that day, he didn't know how much money was left in Li Yun's hands. It was a bit embarrassing to say the words.

"There are still some, Yuan Wu, take them out from under the seat on the left side of the carriage." Li Yun looked at Jing Yan and understood what he meant. A thought flashed in his eyes, and then he greeted Yuan Wu, if he could use some dry food It is very good to stop those people's mouths; if you are afraid, you are afraid, but you can't stop some people's minds if you stop your mouth.

"Yes, Master." Yuan Wu heard Li Yun's order, climbed onto the carriage with all hands and feet, and entered the carriage. If Li Yun hadn't said anything, he would have never noticed that the seat cushions on both sides of the carriage were hollow. According to Li Yun's prompt, I lifted the left seat cushion up, and I behaved obediently.I saw that the neat yards were full of biscuits.

Yuan Wu picked up the hem of his clothes, took out the biscuits one by one, stuffed the hem of the clothes until they were bulging, and then got out of the carriage with difficulty, looking at the people who were staring at him, he was a bit timid and dared not go up.He just stared blankly at Li Yun with a pair of black and white eyes, and didn't speak.

"You go with the little monk." How could Li Yun not understand Yuan Wu's meaning, he slightly raised his chin and nodded towards Jing Yan, without any intention of intervening.

"Amitabha, thank you benefactor." Jing Yan didn't care about Li Yun's attitude, so he pulled Yuan Wu and walked towards the refugees.

Those refugees were also savvy. Seeing Jing Yan approaching, they immediately swarmed up and surrounded Li Yun and Yuan Wu. Some of the sharp-eyed refugees naturally saw the pancakes in Yuan Wu's arms, and were afraid of being snatched first. If he was sneaky, he would stretch out his hand to twist one, Yuan Wu had no choice but to hug the hem of his clothes desperately, and stick it tightly behind Li Yun, too frightened to move a little.

"Master, save us, we haven't eaten for three or four days."

"Master, just give us a little bit of charity!"

"..."

"Don't worry, don't worry, take your time, you have everything." Jing Yan signaled everyone to be calm, and he stretched out his hand to Yuan Wu to signal him to take out the dry food, but... Yuan Wu just spread out his clothes, The refugees, who were weak at first, were like wolves seeing their prey at this moment. They immediately gained strength and they all rushed up. In just a moment, they scattered all the biscuits in Yuan Wu's arms, spread them out a little, and started to gnaw them voraciously.

In order to prolong the storage time, the biscuits were made very hard, and everyone ate them anxiously, but even if they were choked and rolled their eyes, they couldn't help stuffing them into their mouths desperately, which made Jing Yan feel sad for a while.

"Yuan Wu, is there more?"

At this moment, Yuan Wu was still standing there in a daze with the hem of his clothes in his hands. Hearing Jing Yan's order, he nodded abruptly, and without waiting for Jing Yan to speak again, he let go of his feet and rushed to the carriage. After a while, he hugged another Go around and come down with biscuits.

Although everyone was watching eagerly, they had food in their mouths and hands, and they didn't dare to grab it again. Jing Yan divided the one who only took one and was about to ask about the situation, but only saw one in the middle. The refugee, who looked like a young man, swallowed two biscuits in five mouthfuls, and was about to ask Jing Yan for one, but suddenly remembered something, and suddenly slapped his thigh.

"It's broken, Old Man An is cooking..." The man paused at this point, glanced at Jing Yan, then let go of his feet and burrowed into the woods on the opposite side.

Jing Yan still looked puzzled, but Li Yun had already seen the suspicion, and his face suddenly became solemn, and he almost blurted out without thinking. "Little monk, quickly... quickly follow."

Although Jing Yan didn't know what happened, seeing Li Yun's face, he didn't dare to hesitate at the moment, and flew up directly, chasing in the direction of the man just now.

Seeing Jing Yan chasing after him, Li Yun called Yuan Wu back and asked him to carry Yuan Wen into the carriage and follow him closely while holding the reins.And Li Yun seems to be calm and breezy, but he is already holding a dagger in his hand hidden in his sleeve, and Jing Yan is not around, so he has to be extremely careful everywhere.

He looked around and looked at the people who were still gobbling, and the indifference around them was even worse. "Who, lead me there."

"Master, come with me." Hearing Li Yun's order, everyone raised their heads timidly at Li Yun, who seemed unattainable, and looked at each other. A simple and honest old man gritted his teeth and stood up, his face full of wrinkles. Smiling, he walked to the opposite side.

In fact, it was not too far away, about half a stick of incense, the old man led Li Yun to a settlement, and he saw Jing Yan among the refugees at a glance, and saw him holding a child who was probably about two or three years old in one hand , Although the child was crying, his voice was so weak that it was covered by the voices of the people around him.Without looking, Li Yun knew what everyone was discussing.

As expected, Li Yun's already cold face was instantly covered with frost, "Shut up."

Li Yun's voice exploded in the crowd like a thunderclap on the ground, and the noisy voice quieted down. All the unkempt refugees turned their heads and looked at Li Yun who was like a noble son in this troubled world, and all booed.

The cry of the child, which was originally covered by the crowd, became clear in an instant.

"Little monk, come here!"
