[Red Chamber] I am Lin Daiyu and her uncle

"After the death of Empress Dowager Wen Huan, we completely lost control of Xihai. Sheng Shangchu had countless things to do at hand and had no time to take care of Xihai, so chaos started over there again, and that bitch Lan Ji was very vicious. Don’t treat the people of Xihai Yanzi as human beings! Although the former king of Huangliang Kingdom also oppressed the people there, he didn’t kill them all, but that bitch just ravaged/traced the local people blindly and took away all the food from the people.”

"Without food, they can only gnaw bark, eat Guanyin soil, and some even eat their own children!"

Speaking of this, Li Yifang's voice trembled, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes. Lin Qing was also uncomfortable listening, but she was far less 'emotional' than Li Yifang.

It's not that he is cold-blooded, but that he really doesn't have that concept. He has only heard the words "gnawing bark, eating Guanyin soil, and eating after changing seeds" in history class as test points. There is jade food, but there is no need to worry about food and clothing. It is not difficult to eat and wear warmth.After transmigrating, he has the status of a young master again. Although the people in Fangzhou are small, they have enough food and clothing. Even the beggars on the street will not be hungry or cold.

Therefore, he really couldn't imagine what this kind of human tragedy was like.

Li Yifang sat there, quietly looking into the distance, and suddenly said, "Ruqing, are you curious, how can I, a young man who grew up in a gentle and rich town, feel empathy for things that shouldn't appear in my world?"

"A little bit." Lin Qing replied truthfully.

Li Yifang has a proper royal blood, was pampered since childhood, and grew up in a much better environment than him. There is no reason why he can feel things that he can't feel, but he can feel so deeply.

Li Yifang chuckled a few times and began to tell his own story: "I was only thirteen when my mother died. After I went down, I sneaked out when no one was prepared, even if I forgot to bring money because I came out too quickly and could only wander aimlessly in the street, I didn’t want to go home.”

"At midnight, I unknowingly turned to a dead end. I was about to go out, but I found a man in white blocking my way. The light was so dim that I couldn't see his face clearly. I thought I had encountered a ghost, and was scared. My legs were weak, but the man only asked me if I wanted to go to the border gate. As soon as I heard him talk, I knew he was human, because my mother told me that ghosts can’t talk to people. So I I got bolder and asked him loudly who he was, but he didn't answer, and asked me again if I wanted to go to the border gate. I was hesitating when I heard many people calling my name from all directions, and I knew it was my family who was looking for me. Come, I really didn't want to go back at that time, so I agreed."

Li Yifang said that her mouth was dry, and she picked up the water bag and wanted to take a sip of water, but found that she had already finished drinking. Seeing this, Lin Qing handed him her water bag, and Li Yifang took a few sips to moisten her throat before continuing tell.

"The man in white threw me a token and asked me to find a horse at the designated place. After I got on the horse, I ran to the gate of the city. The guard asked me for a token, so I took the token that the man gave me just now. Show him the card, although he is surprised that I am young, but with the token in hand, he doesn't want to ask too much, he just let me go as if there is some secret mission to do."

"When I saw that the token was real, I let go of my hanging heart, because no matter whether the token was stolen or given to me by the holder, my family members could follow the vines to find me. After all, I was given to the guard at that time. It left a deep impression, and I will know where I am going as soon as I inquire."

After listening to his analysis, Lin Qing felt that he was too smart at such a young age!If it were him, he would never have thought of these things.

"After coming out, I followed the road signs to Xuanhe Pass, which is here!"

Li Yifang raised her right hand and pointed her index finger down to the ground.

"The guard at the gate also asked me for a token, and I showed him the token, and passed the barrier smoothly."

"At that time, it was daylight. Looking at the endless desert and grassland, I only felt that the world was a little wider, and I even forgot the grief for a moment. In this way, I didn't even want to go back. Especially when I found that the horse was in the luggage. As soon as I had a lot of dry food and water bags, I walked forward with more confidence."

"After walking forward for a while, we arrived at the West Coast."

"The sky is full of yellow sand, the houses are crumbling and dilapidated, almost all the trees are bare trunks, the passers-by are yellow and thin, their clothes are not covered, their eyes are numb like walking dead, the ground should be soil, but there is only sand, skinny and skinny." The people in the room were wriggling on the ground like earthworms. Compared with their clothes at that time, I looked like a man from heaven, but this was not a good thing. Seeing me like this, people with a little strength showed a fierce look of eating people, and swarmed up Steal my horse, if I don't run fast, I will be stripped of all my clothes."

Lin Qing listened intently, feeling that she was listening to an adventure novel without even blinking her eyes. Although it was unfair to think like this, the plot was really fascinating.

"My dry food was hung on the saddle, and there was only one cake in my pocket. After being robbed, I never dared to stay again. This cake was also prepared as food for Xuanhe Pass. I was hiding behind a haystack , I dare not come out until those who robbed me have divided up the 'trophy' and left."

"I stood up and was about to leave when I saw a barefooted girl who was a head shorter than me standing in front of me, silently looking at me. She was only covered with a layer of sackcloth that would cover her body. At first I thought she was a boy, because she was thin and didn't have any feminine features. But those eyes were bright and clear, like the shining stars in the sky, and like a pool of crystal clear water, it was strange that they dried up like that In such an environment, someone actually has a pair of hopeful eyes.”

Speaking of this, Li Yifang showed a look of reminiscence and longing on her face, and the light in her eyes became brighter and brighter as the story progressed.

"I was afraid that she would tell me, so I hurried away. After running a few steps, I accidentally looked back, but I couldn't move anymore after this look. After struggling in my heart, I turned around and walked towards her."

"When the little girl saw me walking towards her, she stepped back a few steps timidly. I didn't say anything. I just took out the cake in my pocket and divided it in two. She would give me half and half, but she refused! I was very surprised , because I have seen how crazy people here are for food."

"I became interested for a while, so I asked her what her name was, how old she was, and who else was in her family. She didn't answer me, she just looked at me with her eyes. I was very patient and let her look at me all the time, maybe because I Her attitude was friendly enough that she finally spoke to me, and she said her name was Jiaojiao."

Li Yifang stopped talking, and looked at the checkpoint not far away, with an imperceptible smile on the corner of her mouth, it was very faint and beautiful, and her eyes were full of nostalgia.

Nanping Princess Mansion.

Shenjiao was walking back and forth anxiously in the visitor's residence. Seeing Li Rongfang and Mrs. Zhao entering the door, she rushed over, not caring about etiquette, and opened her mouth to ask, "Brother Rong, madam."

Prince Consort Li and Shen Fang were close friends when they were young, so their children have always been referred to as "brother and sister".

Mrs. Zhao saw that Shenjiao's eyes were black and blue, and her face was pale, so she knew that she hadn't slept all night, so she quickly pushed her on the chair, "Sister, sit down first."

Although Shen Jiao was burning in his heart, he sat down helplessly, "Brother Rong, my master hasn't returned yet, I'm afraid..."

Li Rongfang raised her hand to stop her words, "I know."

Then calmly asked: "Apart from the two of them yesterday afternoon, who else was there?"

Seeing this, Qin'er quickly gave the groom a wink, and the groom immediately stepped forward, "Go back to Master Li, yesterday afternoon, I was the one who picked up my master from get off work."

"Didn't your master take a carriage?"

The groom shook his head, "No! The second master of the Li family brought my master a strong brown horse, and my master galloped away with the second master of the Li family on that brown horse!"

"Then you can see clearly, what color is the horse that the second master of the Li family is riding?"

The groom has been driving horses for so many years, and it was the first time he saw a horse with such pure hair, and his memory was very deep.

"I see clearly, it's a snow-white horse."

Li Rongfang already knew it when she heard this.

"Brother Rong, what's so strange about the color of this horse?" Shen Jiao was a little puzzled, shouldn't it be normal to question where people are going?How to get to the bottom of the color of the horse.

Li Rongfang comforted: "Eldest sister, don't worry, my second son got a thousand-mile steed when he was young, and usually only rode it when he was out of the city, and now the two of them are probably out of the city."

Shen Jiao stood up abruptly, with tears in her eyes: "Since that's the case, you saw that the horse was not there, why didn't you go look for it earlier!"

Seeing her anxious and angry appearance, Li Rongfang didn't care about her gaffe, and explained: "That thousand-mile horse is kept elsewhere alone, and I don't even know where it is, I only know that there is such a horse. I didn't think of this at first, but I just thought of it when I heard the groom mention it. Big sister, don't be angry, this is indeed what we did wrong, and I will come to the door to apologize when I find him back."

Knowing Lin Qing's whereabouts, Shen Jiao didn't care about other things. After expressing her thanks in a hurry, she rushed to Shen's mansion immediately.

She wants Shen Fang to take out the token of the city!

Xuanhe Pass.

"and then?"

Lin Qing was aroused by him to listen to the story, and now seeing that he had been silent for a long time, she couldn't help urging him.

Li Yifang withdrew her gaze and restrained her expression.

"Then I went home with her. There was only an old father with disabilities in her house, a half-dead brother lying on the kang, and a pile of neatly arranged books. There was originally a mother and a younger brother, but the younger brother was unfortunate. After Man Yue passed away, my mother followed suit."

Lin Qing smacked her lips, "This is too miserable!"

Li Yifang ignored him and continued: "Her father is a teacher who was originally well-known in the local area, but at that time, there was not enough to eat, so who would want to study? When I arrived, her father looked at me like that." It is full of consideration, but not as honest as Jiaojiao. At that time, she still had some surplus food at home, and I was embarrassed to eat it, because I had just deeply realized the value of food to them, but they forced it to me. I was so moved at the time, Thinking about going back to the city, I will definitely take their father and daughter over so that they won’t go hungry any more.”

Speaking of this, Li Yifang's complexion suddenly darkened, her eyes stared straight at the clouds in the sky, and black air surged in her eyes.

Due to the problem of sitting posture, Lin Qing could only see his side face, but didn't see Li Yifang's abnormality, but was irritated by his sudden pause, "And then? Did you pick it up?"

"No."

"Why? Did something happen?"

"That night, I was sleeping soundly and in a haze. Someone gently woke me up. I opened my eyes and saw that it was Jiaojiao. Just as I was about to ask her what was going on, she covered my mouth and nose. I was so tightly covered that I was almost out of breath. It was hard to believe that such a thin person would have so much strength. Just as I was about to struggle, she made a gesture of silencing me. For some reason, at that moment I believed her inexplicably, so I didn't move again."

"Seeing that I had calmed down, she let go of the hand covering me, and immediately gestured for me to follow her quietly. I was very obedient and followed her silently until I left the village."

"It was still next to the haystack at the gate of the village. She spoke to me for the first time."

"She said: 'You go back, don't come again. ' I asked why.She said: 'This is hell on earth, everyone wants to escape, only you come here. 'I didn't understand what she meant at that time, because my understanding of the cruelty at that time was limited to her father's recounting of his family's situation in an understatement, and I didn't witness it with my own eyes. Just like I relayed it to you, you also Just a sentence 'This is too miserable! ' and then nothing else. "

"I wanted to take her with me at that time, but she refused, saying that her father and brother were still there, and I said I could pick you up with your family so that you would not be hungry anymore, would you like it? She Hearing what I said, she was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, her beautiful eyes were shining like stars, she smiled and said she was waiting."

Speaking of this, Li Yifang had already burst into tears. It was the first time Lin Qing saw him cry, and she was at a loss.

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Qing glanced at his expression.

Obviously don't understand why he was crying, just because he didn't wait for her?

No, it's unreasonable for people in their 30s to feel sad about their teenage love.

Li Yifang ignored Lin Qing, wiped her face and continued.

"As soon as I arrived at Xuanhe Pass, my father brought a large group of people to block me. I begged my father to go to Xihai Yanzi to pick up three people. When I received it, I will definitely go back. I will apologize to him and admit my mistake, and swear from now on I will not disobey him anymore, I will obey his wish to take the scientific examination and become an official. Even though I always hated doing that, I still guaranteed everything I could. But he thought I was making excuses, no matter how I Even begging him is indifferent."

"I couldn't persuade him, so I thought it would be okay if it was a few days later? Just a few days, I was still lucky at that time, but I didn't know that a few days was enough to change the original beautiful things beyond recognition."

"When I got home, my father beat me up in public, but I didn't care, and I even looked forward to it, because the sooner he finished beating me, the sooner I could pick her up. But I never expected His attack was so severe that I was beaten so hard that I couldn't get out of bed, so I begged my elder brother and tried my best to beg him, my elder brother loved me and was always soft-hearted, so he agreed to my request."

"Originally he planned not to take me and pick him up by himself, but I was afraid that he would recognize the wrong person, so I had to pick him up in person no matter what. He was so entangled by me, so I agreed. Originally, according to my injury, the car should be slow. Okay, but I just say that I don’t hurt, I just keep making them go faster, faster, faster!”

"Finally, we arrived at the village. The village is still dilapidated, and the people in the village are still desperate. When they saw a group of dignified people entering the village, they thought that the government sent troops to rescue them. They all knelt down beside the motorcade and shouted 'Master Qingtian'." , but I don't care, I just want to see Jiaojiao."

"Under my instructions, we came to Jiaojiao's house and opened the door. The teacher's face was full of astonishment. The half-dead brother was still half-dead. He was lying on the kang with more breaths than breaths. I asked Jiaojiao where did she go? He faltered and couldn't explain why, I asked several times, but he still didn't say anything, just knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and the blood on his forehead didn't stop. I was a little impatient and told him Stop knocking, Jiaojiao will blame me when she sees her father hurt so badly later, but he still knocks. I suddenly panicked for no reason, so I asked someone to put a knife on his half-dead son's neck, he saw the situation , As expected, she was discouraged, and hurriedly said that Jiaojiao is at the neighbor's house next door."

"Say it earlier, isn't it at the neighbor's house next door, so I asked my elder brother to help me go to the next door house to find her in person."

Lin Qing was inexplicably strange when he heard this, but he didn't know what was wrong, and because what Li Yifang said was so fascinating, he ignored the strangeness and continued to listen.

"As soon as I entered the yard, I smelled a smell of meat. It was very fragrant. What haven't I eaten since I was a child? But I was still attracted by the smell of meat. My elder brother's expression was not right at the time, and he wanted to take me away. But I didn't, so I went straight to the kitchen."

Lin Qing's pupils shrank suddenly, and suddenly understood what he was talking about.

"do not talk."

"My older brother tried to stop me, but I shook his hand away."

"Shut up!" Lin Qing's eyes were red.

"I ran to the kitchen with all my strength. Fortunately, the yard was too small, so I ran there in a few steps."

"I said shut up! You fucking shut up!" Lin Qing, who couldn't bear it anymore, rushed forward and grabbed his collar, threatening viciously.

Li Yifang leaned close to Lin Qing's ear, and whispered in his ear with an almost weird tone, "As soon as I approached, I heard a crackling sound. Guess what it is?"

"Ugh..." Lin Qing let go of his collar, lay down on the dry grass beside him and retched.

"Those eyes that were as bright as stars have no more light."

Lin Qing vomited louder, then rolled his eyes, and passed out directly.

On the eve of complete coma, Lin Qing clearly saw a drop of blood and tears flow from Li Yifang's eyes, and looked at herself with a look he had never seen in a human being.

In a daze, he heard Shen Jiao's call.

He was relieved, it was a dream.
