the two changed into regular clothes and came out of the East Palace and came to the area where ordinary people in the capital lived through Donghua Gate and Donganmen Gate.

despite the heavy snow, the streets in the capital are still bustling with people, and the hawking and snacks in the surrounding shops are hot and lively.

in normal times, Zhao Rui would be in high spirits, but now she doesn't know whether she is alive or dead, and no matter how lively the scene is, she can't be interested at all.

she followed Li Chen numbly and nervously, coming out of Chongwenmen, past Yongding Gate, and out of the capital city.

once out of Yongding Gate, it is as if he has come to another world.

Desolation, vastness, mountain view faintly seen in the distance, snow near, the whole world is covered with snow, there are pedestrians, tourists and business travelers lining up to enter the city on the official road, but everyone's face is heavy.

"Uncle, please, have mercy on the child. He hasn't eaten a bite for three or five days. The uncle is very merciful. He can reward anything he can eat or a coin, so that the child can eat a cake."

Li Chen just got out of the official way with Zhao Rui, and immediately there was a bony old man leaning on a wooden stick, limping with a leg bent over and nodding and begging, while at his feet was a four-or five-year-old dirty child, who clasped the old man's leg like a thin monkey and looked around blankly.

the two grandchildren trembled when the wind and snow blew.

and there are still many such people in the neighborhood.

Li Chen knew that there were a large number of victims outside the capital, but he did not expect that the number of victims had spread to the vicinity of the gate of the capital.

when Li Chen went out, it was naturally impossible to take money with him, so he looked at Zhao Rui.

Zhao Rui, a woman with a softer heart, took off a bracelet and wanted to hand it to the old man when she saw that the old man and grandson were disabled, weak and compassionate, but she had no money on her.

this move was stopped by Li Chen.

"you want to kill them"

Li Chen pointed to the victims who were glaring at the bracelet not far away.

"the rich still care about their wealth. If they take your bracelet and don't wait to sell it for money, in the blink of an eye, they will kill these people who want to make a fortune."

only then did Zhao Rui realize that she almost did something bad with good intentions and said hurriedly, "Yes, I'm sorry."

Li Chen ignored Zhao Rui and clapped her hands.

A Jin Yiwei dressed in disguise came over immediately.

"go and buy two steamed buns and baked cakes."

after Li Chen sent Jin Yiwei away, he said to the old man in a warm voice, "Zhang, where do you come from"

when the old man knew that Li Chen had sent someone to buy food for himself, he immediately thanked him with gratitude and answered Li Chen's questions.

"this kind old man, our grandson came from Xishan province."

"I heard that the disaster in Xishan Province was the worst. My father-in-law came from there and had to cross southern Zhili all the way, wasn't it easy" Li Chen asked again.

the old man bowed his head, stretched out his rough and rugged hand and touched the child's head at his feet, and said in an almost numb tone: "our house is 50 miles away from the Yellow River. No matter how big the flood is, it will not be affected, but that night the dam collapsed directly. I don't know how many people died. The flood rushed over. Our family was sleeping, thinking about whether to hide in other places, but in the blink of an eye, the house fell down. Son, daughter-in-law, wife, and two newborn fat baby twin grandchildren, all. It's gone. "

"the only one left is the eldest child, who begged all the way with the old man."g Pavilion just for the smile of a beautiful woman. isn't it more beautiful to build a Zhao Wangfu than a Tengwang Pavilion"Li Chen's eyes fell on the expressionless Zhao Xuanji and said faintly, "how...
