Qi Haoran painted his exposed skin sallow, and stood with Fei Bai at the foot of the mountain outside Zhaohua City, like two disaster victims who were forced to run away from home. Wrapped in a baggy beggar's clothes, no one can see that he is strong, but Fei Bai has always been thin and small. Although he is two years older than Qi Haoran, he looks similar. He is dressed in tatters and smells like a beggar. The clothes were one foot deep and the other shallow, and followed Qi Haoran.

It's not that he doesn't want to walk normally, but that the shoes on his feet are torn, and the sole of his left foot is a bit damaged. Whenever he walks, it's like stepping on the ground with bare feet. There are a lot of gravel on the ground, which is too painful.

The two walked into the mountain without saying a word, and at noon they dug some grass stems from the ground and stuffed them into their mouths to chew.

In the evening, Fei Bai spread his feet and hands on the grass, looking at the white clouds passing by in the sky through the gaps in the leaves. He thought he would be the next white cloud to go away. Didn't eat anything, if those grass stalks counted.

Fei Bai turned his head and glanced at his young master, seeing that he was digging up grass stalks hard, he wanted to cry without tears, when did the young master like eating these things so much?

Qi Haoran remained even more silent. After digging out the grass stalks, he stuffed some into his mouth, and threw the rest to Fei Bai. He looked deep into the mountain, thought for a while, and said to Fei Bai: "You wait for me here, I will Go in and find something."

"Master, no, brother, why are you going into the mountains?" Fei Bai got up hurriedly, dissuading him, "Let's move forward quickly, I'm really hungry." Fei Bai suppressed the last sentence the voice said.

But this still made Qi Haoran stare at him, and said: "I'll go in and look for wild fruits, you just lie here and wait for me."

How dare Fei Bai let Qi Haoran go in alone, if the Eldest Young Master finds out about this, won't his skin be peeled off?

But in the end he still succumbed to Qi Haoran's fierce eyes.

Qi Haoran went to look for it in the mountains, and came out after about half an hour, pocketing some wild fruits with his clothes.

But the wild fruit was sour and astringent, the more he ate it, the hungrier he became, Fei Bai couldn't eat any more after eating two, he rubbed his stomach and thought, he might as well not eat it.

Qi Haoran stuffed one into his mouth with one hand, while glaring at Fei Bai secretly, Fei Bai could only continue to eat.

Qi Haoran once heard Mu Yangling talk about the tragic life of the refugees. This wild fruit does not seem to fill his stomach, but if he eats too much, his stomach will feel full. At least there is still a little nutrition, and it can replenish water. At least people can't starve to death, so grass stalks and wild fruits are the things that the fleeing victims will choose.

Qi Haoran has the feeling that he is being targeted by someone, but he doesn't believe it. He has done so much, and the other party will still doubt his identity.

There are more than 40,000 people, including old and young, which shows that the other party is kind-hearted, at least he can't bear to see those old, weak, sick and disabled just starve to death. To a certain extent, he is also a weak person, right?

Well, he is only fifteen years old this year.

Qi Haoran walked forward for a while, when there was a sudden noise in the grass, he and Fei Bai seemed to be taken aback, staring blankly at the grass with wide-eyed eyes, the two adults came out from behind the grass, saw the two of them With a "puchi" laugh, he said, "You two brats, it's a good thing we're not wild boars. Otherwise, if you're as dumb as you are, why wouldn't you be beaten by wild boars?"

Qi Haoran stared at them nervously, swallowed his saliva, and said, "I, we have nothing to eat."

As soon as the other party heard what he said, his face changed, "Someone robbed you of food? Even robbing two and a half grown children, it's really inhuman."

The other squinted his eyes to look at Qi Haoran and Fei Bai, and asked, "Your accent is not from Tongchuan Prefecture, where are you from?"

Fei Bai's tears were about to flow down, he wiped his eyes and said, "We are from Xingyuan Mansion, uncle, if you don't rob us, then, can you give us something to eat?"

Fei Bai is much better at emotional performance than Qi Haoran, after all, he was originally a servant, and Qi Haoran is far inferior to others in the point of observing words and expressions.

The squinting uncle immediately took out a piece of sesame seed cake from his pocket, and handed it to Fei Bai. Fei Bai's eyes lit up, and immediately tore most of the sesame seed cake to Qi Haoran.

Qi Haoran frowned, took it anyway, and stuffed it into his mouth slowly.

The uncle asked with a smile: "You are from Xingyuan Mansion? Then why did you come here?"

It's okay if he didn't ask, but when he asked, Fei Bai could only temporarily stop eating, and said with tears streaming down his face: "My father and mother heard that the price of grain in Tongchuan Prefecture is high, so they collected a lot of corn from our village , I plan to take it and sell it to make some money, who knows that our car was robbed by a group of people just after we reached Jiangyou, my father protected us and escaped, and he was hacked, so we took some pieces with us Silver, but all the things we bought were robbed, we can only go to Xingyuan Mansion, fortunately my mother didn't come out with us this time..."

Fei Bai has practiced this passage many times, and now he has memorized it fluently.

The two asked some more about his family's situation in Xingyuan Mansion, and Fei Bai used the situation of Mu's family all the way. In addition, he followed Qi Haoran, and he also went to the fields. When he talked about planting corn, he was very sensible, which made the two uncles envious He said: "Your Xingyuan Mansion has corn seeds given by General Qi. Although there is a severe drought this year, there is still a way to survive."

When boasting about his young master, Fei Bai was not at all clumsy, and said gratefully: "My father also said that if it weren't for the seeds sent by General Qi this year, our family would not be able to survive. If it is confiscated, it would be good if the wheat can keep the seeds.”

There were tears in the eyes of the two uncles, and they said with hatred: "It's all this damn court. At the beginning, General Qi gave most of the seeds to the emperor, just because he wanted the emperor to distribute them to the people. If you swallow it privately, if you are a king, you don't think about the people, but only care about your own interests, and the country will not be a country."

Fei Bai's eyes widened, even Qi Haoran was stunned, two ordinary looking uncles actually have such insight?

The two uncles thought they had frightened the two children, wiped away their tears and said, "Forget it, what are you talking about? Fortunately, we have a celestial master descending to save us, two little brothers, why don't you come with us, Tongchuan Although the Mansion and Xingyuan Mansion are bordering each other, it takes a long time to walk, and you have nothing to eat, and the road is chaotic, so why not rest here for now, and wait until the road is peaceful before going on."

Fei Bai looked at them vigilantly, "You won't drag us to eat, will you?"

The two uncles laughed loudly and said: "You two are so thin that you can have a few mouthfuls of meat, don't worry, we don't eat people."

"Then, where do you get something to eat?" Fei Bai asked after swallowing.

The two uncles looked at the two children with pity, nodded and said: "Yes, I can't guarantee that I will be full, but I won't be hungry."

Fei Bai heaved a sigh of relief, pulled Qi Haoran a bit, and said, "Then let's go, we have strength and can work."

The two uncles smiled and nodded, and took Fei Bai and Qi Haoran away. On the way, an uncle looked at Qi Haoran and asked Fei Bai, "Why doesn't your brother like to talk?"

Fei Bai's eyes were red again, and he said in a depressed mood: "At that time, my father pushed me, and when he saw my brother was entangled, he went back to save him, threw himself on him, and with one knife, just... beat my brother after that. I don’t like to talk much anymore.”

His father died to save himself, and his temperament changed a lot. The two uncles nodded secretly.

Qi Haoran rolled his eyes in his heart, this is not what was agreed before, forget it, let Fei Bai play freely.
