The Three Kingdoms: Steamed Buns and Pickled Cabbage, I Became the Emperor

Chapter 55 Meeting Xu Chu on the Road
Dian Wei was not surprised to see this scene.

"It must be that the nearby villages were hit by the disaster, but this village was not!"

"All the villagers nearby have come here to escape the famine!"

Dian Wei has seen a lot of such things.

In today's Han Dynasty, this kind of scene exists not only in this place, but also in the whole country.

These are the people who escaped here alive.

Dian Wei didn't dare to think about those who died on the way to escape famine.

Flee from famine, flee from famine, nine out of ten people who flee will be injured.

When ordinary people encounter a disaster, they literally risk their lives to escape famine.

Seeing this tragic scene.

Cai Wenji felt sorry for him and wanted to help, but in the end she could only sigh helplessly.

With so many victims, can a weak woman like her help them?
Suddenly, an order came.

"Brothers, dismount and assemble your troops!"

"The Lord has ordered us to repair the site and provide relief to the victims."

For a while.

Upon hearing this, Cai Yong and Cai Wenji were both stunned.

Did they hear it right?

Ye Chen actually wanted to provide relief to the victims.

What relief can we use?

Along the way, they didn't even see any food carts for Ye Chen's team.

How can we provide relief to disaster victims without food?

--------

at the same time.

in the village.

In a thatched hut.

A burly man with broad shoulders, a thick waist, a full beard and eight feet tall sat in the first seat.

In a small house.

It was packed with more than a dozen people.

"Brother, the idea is clear!"

"That convoy is now resting at the entrance of our village."

"From the looks of it, it should be a caravan!"

The sturdy man stroked his thick beard.

"Then why waste your time on good talk? Go gather the young and strong men from this village and the neighboring villages!"

"Rob them and have a good year!"

"But big brother!" a younger brother hesitated.

"I saw that caravan, each of them had two horses and were very strong!"

"I'm afraid we can't win!"

"Besides, there are too many of them. It looks like there are at least 700 to 800 of them."

"All our manpower combined is only a thousand!"

"The idea is too hard, I'm afraid it's hard to chew!"

The sturdy man raised his eyebrows and sneered.

"Can't beat it??"

"Is there anyone in this world that I, Xu Chu, cannot defeat?"

Xu Chu was from Qiao County, Qiao Commandery. He usually organized the young and strong men in the village to unite and protect themselves from bandits.

but.

These are all superficial statements.

In fact, they were just bandit members who killed people and robbed goods.

Now, Ye Chen and his group came to their village.

Xu Chu, who has never feared either heaven or earth.

How can I give up this piece of fat meat that is already in my mouth?
the other side.

After a while.

On a vacant lot at the entrance of the village.

The fireman shouted loudly.

"Everyone don't have to rush, everyone has lined up, everyone has a meal, don't worry, everyone will get one in the end."

Above the open space.

Figures lined up in a long queue in front of the makeshift porridge stall, and each person received a bowl of corn porridge and a white flour steamed bun.

The victims looked at the orange corn porridge and fragrant white flour steamed buns in their bowls as if they had seen a way out.

"Oh my god, it's actually hot porridge and white flour buns. I feel like I'm dreaming."

"This is actually for us to eat. Who is this living god who saves people from suffering?"

"Woo, woo, woo, I'm finally saved. I won't starve to death."

"Son, why can't you hold on for a few more days? Why do you give your last ration to an old woman like me? Son, mother has food now, food now!"

"Thank God for finally sending a living god to save us. We don't have to starve to death anymore!"

"..."

For a while.

The victims who received corn porridge and white flour steamed buns expressed their heartfelt gratitude.

Shock, gratitude, emotion, laughter, crying, all kinds of emotions were intertwined in the open space at the entrance of the village. And Ye Chen was standing at the front of the team.

Seeing the emotions of the victims, I felt quite moved.

This is the current situation of the Han people.

We have experienced successive wars and natural disasters.

How can most ordinary people have any surplus food at home?

Once food supplies run out, everyone will be reduced to digging wild vegetables and eating tree bark.

After finishing eating here, go to another place to continue eating.

People are not human beings at all.

Even more terrifying.

No one cares about them, no one cares about them, and no one will think of saving them.

"Master Ye, I never thought you would be so kind!"

at this time.

Cai Yong and Cai Wenji also got off the carriage and walked to Ye Chen.

Naturally, he approved of Ye Chen's good deeds.

As a great scholar of the time, he was not ignorant of the five grains and did not understand the people's livelihood.

The world today.

There were disaster victims everywhere, but very few people were willing to help.

Those noble families who are usually well-known for their kindness rarely help these disaster victims.

And Ye Chen, a bandit and a bully, actually took the initiative to help.

This also made Cai Yong have a new understanding of Ye Chen.

Especially Cai Wenji.

His eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Ye Chen.

She wanted to rescue the victims, but she was powerless.

Now they were all rescued by Ye Chen, and her heart could not help but be moved.

Hearing what Cai Yong said.

Looking at the countless people in front of him, Ye Chen sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"This is the Han Dynasty."

“In the final analysis, it is still the prosperity that makes the people suffer!”

"Death, the people are suffering!"

Ye Chen chatted for a few words, and Cai Yong, Cai Wenji, and Zhao Yun, who were listening on the side, were trembling in their hearts and were deeply touched.

But Dian Wei acted as if nothing happened.

Because I don't understand.

I don’t understand it at all!

at this time.

Around the porridge stalls at the entrance of the village, the victims were sitting directly on the ground, holding corn porridge and white flour steamed buns in their hands, eating with great heartiness.

“It’s delicious. It’s really delicious!”

"That's right, why is this corn porridge so fragrant?"

"Woo woo woo, even before the disaster, I have never eaten anything so delicious!"

"God really hasn't given up on us! I didn't expect to meet such a kind person who gave us a meal to keep us alive."

"..."

Qiao County was originally a barren place.

Now it is a disaster year.

In order to survive, they had no choice but to flee to areas that were not affected by the disaster.

Many of these disaster victims thought that they were doomed to die if they fled from the famine.

Who would have thought.

Suddenly they met a kind-hearted person who took the initiative to give them food and drink.

How could the desperate disaster victims not be grateful?

at this time.

Among the disaster victims.

Xu Chu and his men also became victims of the disaster.

They originally planned to pretend to be disaster victims and then suddenly attack Ye Chen and his group.

But he had just joined the group of disaster victims.

The group of people were simply dumbfounded.

Instead of driving away the victims, this caravan took the initiative to distribute food and offer help.

This disrupted the plans of Xu Chu and others, and they didn't know what to do for a moment.

You can only pretend to be a real disaster victim and queue up honestly to get porridge.

"Brother, this corn porridge is so delicious!"

"Is that enough for you? If not, I'll go get you another bowl!"

Xu Chu glared at his younger brother in annoyance.

"You just know how to eat!"

"We are here to rob, but you really think of yourself as victims of disaster!"

"Go, get me another bowl of porridge and some more white steamed buns!"

Younger brother: "..."
