Several people looked at each other.

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate? Lady Keqing doesn't seem to be the type who likes to be in the spotlight."

"If it's for the sake of the people of the world, I believe Lady Keqing will understand."

Wang Sui said complacently.

"We don't want to completely expose Lady Keqing. We just need to spread some rumors and tell them the location of our Li Sect."

“There is no need to bring people with you, but to let the refugees know and go there on their own initiative.”

Hearing Wang Sui's words, the others were confused.

"What is the Glass Sect? I have never heard of it."

"Ahem, now you have heard it. I heard from Lady Keqing that she is from a place called Liyue, where people live in abundance and even mortals can live well, just like in the fairyland."

"So from today on, we are the Li Sect, and our Li Sect is where the Fairy Keqing comes to save us. As long as you join the Li Sect, you will have enough food and clothing, and will no longer suffer from the pain of wandering."

"Do you remember what I said? No matter who asks, you should say that a fairy named Keqing came to save the world because she couldn't bear to see the suffering of mortals. We, the Li Sect, are here to assist her under her guidance. Remember this."

After Wang Sui said this, everyone immediately understood.

"But isn't this just fooling people? Isn't that a bad idea..."

With a snap, someone patted the person who was mumbling.

"What nonsense! How could we lie? We accept so many refugees. Isn't it to help them reform and escape from suffering?"

"Yes, yes, Lady Keqing is a deity, and we are not lying."

"I heard that in troubled times, there will always be some messed up religions, but our Li Sect is the only one that has real immortals, and it's not a lie."

Seeing that his companion behind him had cleverly understood a little of his idea, Wang Sui smiled with satisfaction.

Humph, once my results appear, I won't be afraid of Wang Dazhuang, Zhang Qing and others who are competing with me for Lady Keqing's favor.

……

Under the scorching sun, in Hong County, the city gates were welded tightly shut and had not been opened for three days.

Outside the city gates, countless refugees were lying there, not knowing whether they were alive or dead, waiting weakly for death.

They thought they could survive after arriving in Hong County, but the county magistrate closed the city gates early and did not let them enter the city. As the number of refugees increased, the crowds outside became dense.

Skinny and weathered faces can be seen everywhere. Every few steps you take, you can see a corpse lying on the ground, unknown whether dead or alive. However, at night, these corpses will disappear, and somewhere in the cold night, a crackling sound will be heard, which is creepy.

Some refugees know what those things are, but they dare not think about it and are still sticking to their bottom line.

Eating people! That is a sin!

However, as hunger continued to torture people, fewer and fewer people were still holding on to the bottom line. In a corner of the refugee group, a little woman holding her baby tightly in her arms was one of those who still held on to the bottom line.

"Wow wow..."

"Don't cry, don't cry."

A faint cry came from the baby's arms. The woman, who was still quite pretty, hugged the baby tightly, trying to ignore the greedy glances cast at her from all around.

Chapter 72: Turning Point (Part 4)

Yan Cong's dry lips had long been cracked, and she hadn't had any water for several days. Seeing the baby in her arms crying weakly, she hurriedly picked up the only remaining rag, covered her chest with it, picked up her bellyband, and gave her milk to the baby.

Pain came from the chest, and the baby was gurgling but no nourishing milk came out because he had run out of milk long ago.

Feeling the stinging gazes around her, she quickly put down her bellyband and hugged the baby tightly.

There is no more milk. Yes, she is almost dying, so where will the milk come from?

She hadn't eaten for three days, and even her water supply was a little bit from chewing on some tree bark a few days ago. Her husband had been beaten to death in a dispute during the refugee crisis, and her mother-in-law was too old to withstand the disaster and died of exhaustion on the road.

Misfortune seemed to have befallen this woman. Everyone around her died, but she was the only one who was willing to live, insisting on doing so for the baby in her arms.

But how can a weak woman live easily in this world? From time to time, there are covetous eyes around her. They value her beauty and the baby in her arms.

So Yan Cong always stayed in places where people gathered, and she didn't dare to relax even at night, for fear that someone would snatch her and her child away when she was not paying attention.

Yan Cong had also seen a woman with a baby a few days ago. She was the same age as her. A few days later, her baby disappeared. She was devastated, while her husband was overjoyed because he got a small bag of bran.

At that moment, she suddenly appeared

She was sweating coldly and couldn't even sleep well. She could only hug her son tightly and dared not attract attention.

However, someone still noticed her. One afternoon, a man sneaked up on her and wanted to steal her child.

When the other party saw Yan Cong wake up, he punched and kicked her. If Yan Cong hadn't picked up a stone and smashed it at the man like crazy until he stopped moving, she wouldn't be alive now.

Afterwards, she saw someone dragging the man's body away. Seeing that a weak woman like her was so powerful, those people did not dare to come up easily. In this day and age, if she got a little injured, she would probably be dead the next day.

She pursed her lips and said nothing. Instead, she held the baby tightly and watched the group of people drag the body away.

"I say, you are almost dead, why don't you throw away that burden?"

The dazed woman heard a voice beside her ear, and she subconsciously hugged the baby in her arms tightly.

Turning around, she saw a man who was older than her.

Seeing that the woman didn't speak.

The man curled his lips.

"Look, he's not moving. If I keep him in my arms, he'll probably rot. Why don't I go out and get some food? It's better to stay alive."

The man licked his lips when he said this.

"I have a way, do you want to..."

"roll!"

Yan Cong suddenly got furious, picked up a stone and threw it at the man, who quickly fled.

"Mad man! Mad man, you deserve to be starved to death! And your little bastard!"

He didn't expect that this woman was actually a lunatic. There are all kinds of people these days, and there is even such a fool.

"What bad luck!"

The man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the woman didn't catch up with him.

Humph, let’s see how long you can live.

Watching the man run away, Yan Cong's hand that was tightly gripping the stone suddenly loosened. She looked at the baby in her arms who had been motionless since a while ago, and suddenly became panicked.

"No, he won't die. My son just fell asleep."

She tried to convince herself in her heart, but the despair in her heart spread throughout her body, and then she could only collapse on the ground powerlessly.

What's the point of living like this...

However, at this moment... Yan Cong suddenly saw a group of people walking past him anxiously, as if something had happened.

She then stopped someone.

"You, what are you going to do? Aren't you going to wait for the city gate to open?"

"Hey, don't stop me. Why are you opening the door? Someone wants to distribute food. I heard it's from some Li Sect. If we don't go now, there will be nothing left!"

"food!"

A glimmer of hope flashed in the woman's eyes.

Food! If there was food, would my son be able to survive?

……

……

Not far from the city gate, a large table and chairs were placed in front of the refugees, and bags of food were placed on the table.

At the same time, several strong men stood in front of him, looking energetic, well-dressed and majestic.

A large pot was burning slowly nearby, and the aroma of fragrant rice porridge filled the air.

"Food! It's actually food."

"Quick! Get the food."

Someone immediately wanted to rush forward, but was quickly stopped.

"Why, why did you stop me!"

"Humph, if you don't want to die, then go ahead. Do you see that next to it?"

Following the man's gaze, those who had lost their minds calmed down instantly. There were several corpses, blood all over the place, with hideous faces, and they looked like they had just died.

"Those people just refused to listen to advice and insisted on stealing food. They even started fighting and wanted to kill people. As a result, they were killed in return. If you want to go, go ahead. Seeing how strong those people are, I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand a single blow."

Those who were still excited calmed down instantly.

Smelling the fragrance in the air, feeling the hunger in the stomach, and seeing the corpses, no matter how impulsive their minds were, they instantly calmed down and lined up obediently.

Wang Sui looked at the calm refugee tide in front of him and nodded with satisfaction. He said nothing and gave out porridge first. These people were starving. If he didn't give out porridge, who would listen to your nonsense with an empty stomach? And their Li Sect would not be able to make a name for itself.

Wang Sui looked calm and unperturbed, but the people behind him were indeed a little worried.

"Wang Sui, isn't it a bad thing to kill someone..."

"Yes, Lady Keqing clearly taught us to be kind."

But Wang Sui shook his head.

"Adults teach us to have a bottom line and be kind, but not pure and foolish kindness."

"Besides, we just secretly inquired about it. Those people are the leaders of this area. They cannibalized people. There is no point in keeping them. Killing them is a good thing."

"Don't you see that the people around them don't feel sorry for them? Their eyes are full of disgust."

After hearing what Wang Sui said, the people around him understood a little. That's right! Maybe Lady Keqing won't punish them. Maybe Hai will praise them for their courage and wisdom!

After they figured it out, they immediately felt confident and these people became proud.

For the refugees, waiting in line was extremely painful, but when they got the rice porridge, the fragrant taste of the porridge made them satisfied.

However, those who received the porridge were satisfied, but the people queuing behind them became more and more anxious and had a hard time, especially when they saw that the porridge was getting less and less, and the food on the table was decreasing generation by generation, this anxiety reached its peak.

If it weren't for the few armed men around them staring at them, they would have wanted to push away all the people in front of them, charge their money, stick their heads into the pot and take a deep sip.

This kind of torment was not only felt by other people, but also by Yan Cong. She regretted why she had not come earlier, but she also hoped that some porridge could be left for herself and the baby in her arms.

However, it seemed that misfortune had befallen her again. When it was her turn, there was not a drop of porridge left in the pot!

Despair suddenly enveloped her heart.

She didn't see the expression of the person distributing porridge in front of her, but she felt as if the sky had fallen down, giving her hope and despair at the same time.

“No more porridge!”

“There’s no food left!”

"I haven't even queued yet! Is it over already?!"

As she was in a state of despair, the team behind her began to become chaotic and was on the verge of getting out of control.

But at this moment, Wang Sui shouted.

"Quiet!"

The loud voice immediately silenced the crowd and also attracted the woman who subconsciously looked up.

Wang Sui was not worried about the situation at all. Instead, he took out a small bag the size of a palm in front of everyone. Then, in full view of everyone, he took out bag after bag of adult-sized sacks and buckets full of water from the small bag.

In just a moment, the entire table was filled!

"monster!"

"A monster! It's witchcraft!"

Everyone felt that the scene before them seemed to break their common sense and made them panic subconsciously.

Wang Sui quickly signaled to his own people hiding in the crowd, and immediately someone came out and shouted.

"This is not witchcraft, this is fairy magic! The immortals saw our suffering and came to save us!"

"Yes, it must be magic. How can a monster save people? It's sunny now, how can the evil spirit come out? It must be a fairy!"

There was a flurry of discussion for a while, and the panicked people calmed down instantly, looking at Wang Sui and the others with surprise and fear.

This is even more true for Yan Cong.
