Li Ye nodded. Since the mid-Tang Dynasty, the refugee problem has not been really solved. It is only divided into severity. If the problem of land annexation is not resolved, the refugee population will not be cut off for a day. In the five prefectures of Pinglu, you can see how difficult the life of the people is by just looking at the behavior of the Wu family in Qizhou and Huabuzhushan. It is not surprising to encounter refugees along the way.

Thinking of this, Li Ye took a look at Cui Keli. This Confucian scholar really has a heart for the common people. He may not be unaware of the burden on the Cui family to bring the refugees back to the Cui family in Qingzhou, but he still did so. Moreover, knowing that this trip is dangerous, and letting his guards take people back, it shows his heart even more.

Not long after everyone was walking, the speed of the carriages and horses in front suddenly slowed down, as if they were blocked by someone, it was quite noisy, Li Ye called Yang Feng to ask, and the other party said distressedly: "Oh, a group of homeless people The refugees, I heard that they starved to death and were crying in front of them, the head of the family couldn't see it, and asked the guys in the chariot and horse dealers to give them half of their dry food."

Li Ye, Cui Keli and the others looked at each other, got off their horses and carriages, and followed Yang Feng up to see what happened.

On the side of the road in front of the carriage, there was a group of ragged, yellow and emaciated refugees, men, women, young and old, some of them were already dying, sitting on the ground and could not move. The staff of the carriage was distributing food to them, which immediately attracted everyone Come and loot, the boss is trying to maintain order.

There were also a few women and children, gathered under the tree, and there was a sound of wailing among them.

Li Ye and others went forward, and saw a dirty child sitting under the tree, holding a dead woman, crying heartbreakingly, the child was seven or eight years old, with disheveled hair Yellow hair, crying until now, no more tears in his eyes, the woman in his arms has become skinny, with protruding cheekbones and sunken eye sockets, she looks a bit scary, naked The arm is as dry as a dead branch, the meridians are prominent, and there is no half flesh and blood.

Beside the boy, there is a rotten pear.

A white-haired old woman choked with sobs and said, "It's not easy for the two of you. The day before yesterday, his mother sneaked into the field and picked up a half-rotten pear for him. When she came back, she was covered in bruises and her knees were still bleeding. I don't know how many times I fell down on the road, how far I was chased and beaten, I couldn't even stand still, and there was no blood on my face... "

Wiping her tears, the old woman said: "This child is a filial child, he is reluctant to eat that half-rotten pear, and wants to give it to his mother, but his mother refuses, so she gives him a good lesson... He kept the pear in his arms all the time. When he came here today, his mother finally couldn't hold on and collapsed. The child took out the pear and wanted to feed his mother to save his life, but who would have thought that the pear had already died It's completely rotten and can't be eaten at all."

The old woman was crying so weakly that she sat down on the ground, still couldn't help but said sadly: "It's a crime, neither of the two mothers could eat the pear in the end, and his mother was beaten for nothing... ... a crime!"

Li Ye and the others looked at this scene with ugly faces, Su Emei quietly turned her head away and wiped away her tears.

A chubby body suddenly knelt down beside the woman, amidst the strange looks of the crowd, he reached out to catch her pulse, and it turned out to be Wei Xiaozhuang. He concentrated on sensing for a while, then suddenly gritted his teeth, and sent a subtle spiritual energy into the woman's meridians, from time to time the woman's face flushed slightly, and she even coughed twice.

"Oh, I'm angry!"

"Alive? Should it be alive?"

"Daozhang, is there any help?"

Everyone was overwhelmed with surprise and chattered, the boy was stunned for a while, then suddenly knelt down in front of Wei Xiaozhuang, kowtowed, and soon his forehead was broken, blood oozing out: "Please save my mother, please! Please save my mother..."

Su Emei hurriedly helped the boy up, then turned her head and asked Wei Xiaozhuang with concern: "Can you save him?"

Wei Xiaozhuang's face turned pale, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not sure, but I can give it a try!"

The refugees were overjoyed immediately, and kept begging Wei Xiaozhuang to save them, but everyone still looked at Wei Xiaozhuang with a lot of awe, and did not dare to come forward. The conspicuous Taoist robe was an inviolable majesty .

Cui Keli hurriedly said: "Put her into the carriage quickly, who can make porridge? Where is the carriage?"

Wei Xiaozhuang picked up the woman, and as soon as he got out of the crowd, he saw that the carriage that was originally at the end of the convoy had stopped by the side of the road, and the tea kettle that was originally used for making tea was also held by Li Ye, with After eating the corn, he said to Yang Feng and the others: "Bring water."

In the eyes of the refugees who were holding the big pie and devouring it non-stop, the car and horse business suddenly became busy.

Wei Xiaozhuang carried the woman into the carriage, and Li Ye went to deal with the corn, and when he turned around, he used spiritual energy to make fire, and cooked gruel on the spot. After he finished all this, the woman still didn't wake up, but when Su Emei fed her porridge, she was able to instinctively swallow it, it seemed that she was saved.

The refugees who got the good news all shouted as immortals and paid homage to Li Ye, Wei Xiaozhuang and others, but Li Ye's complexion was extremely gloomy.

In the end, Cui Keli left the group of refugees waiting for a while. He had no escorts and could lead them to Qingzhou, but he couldn't bear to leave them by the side of the road and let them go to the road of death, so he could only take them with him.

In this way, with the rations for carriages and horses, and the money that Cui Keli and others carry with them, they will never starve to death. Cui Keli's idea is very simple, take them to Penglai, and then take them back to Qingzhou, and find a way placement.

On the way, Cui Keli said to Li Ye in a serious tone: "Qingzhou is better, after all, it is the Jiedushi governing the state, and there are more refugees in other states, especially recently, the Central Plains is full of wars, many refugees have escaped, and there are many refugees. Influx into Pinglu, and all the big and small forces in Pinglu, seeing that the troubled times are approaching, are trying to expand their strength and hoard food, so more people have lost their land, and there are many people who have been robbed of food by green forest bandits. There will be more refugees.”

He sighed, "If things continue like this, even if Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao's rebellious soldiers don't come, Pinglu will be in chaos. Once they come, these refugees will scramble to join the rebel soldiers in order to have a meal."

Li Ye said coldly: "The Cui family's property was originally managed by someone, and the land under his name was also cultivated by tenants. Now that Mr. Cui has brought back so many refugees, how will the Cui family arrange them? They can't be raised by idlers."

Cui Keli said in a deep voice: "The only way is to reclaim wasteland. But reclaiming wasteland can't solve the fundamental problem. After the Jiedushi takes office, he needs to start from the big picture and mobilize the power of the whole town, so as to have the possibility of radically solving the problem of refugees. "

Li Ye was silent.

In this way, more and more refugee teams followed Cui Keli's carriage. The refugees who met on the road all joined in consciously or unconsciously. Within a day, there were more than a hundred people.

This Confucian scholar led the long team of refugees to an unpredictable path.

...

It is day and night, thunderstorm.

Refugees huddled under the eaves of the corridor. After delivering food to the refugees, Li Ye was standing up with a tray, when he accidentally looked up, he saw a bolt of lightning strike not far away, the flash of light made Li Ye see the top of the locust tree outside the post station, there was a The petite and graceful figure stood in the rain stepping on the leaves amidst the thunder.

The dripping rain bounced back three inches away from her body, fully outlining Zhuo Yue's figure, those clear and clear eyes saw Li Ye under the lightning on the rainy night, and couldn't tell. The serenity and profoundness of the girl, the headband and purple hair fluttering with the wind and rain, seem to have spirituality like a ghost.

This is the third day and night since the Wang family received the hero post.

Tsing Yi yamen has sent out more than 20 hero posts one after another.

Li Ye knew she would find her.

Commander less.

Li Ye handed the tray to Su Emei beside her, "You stay behind."

Under her strange gaze, Li Ye jumped up straight to the treetops!

In mid-air, Lu Gujian was already in his hand, and in the dark night sky, a shining cyan horse slashed down!

Shao Siming's hands quickly formed seals on her chest, and the flame-like spiritual energy at her fingertips jumped up and down, which was indescribably pleasing to the eye. Several green leaf chains shot out from the locust tree at her feet, wrapping around each other like spirit snakes, Meet the sword energy falling from mid-air.

Li Ye finished with one strike, followed by the second strike, and then the third strike!

Three cyan horseshoes, like three ocean waves, one wave pushes another wave.

The sword energy smashed the leaf chain, and the wave of spiritual energy suddenly swayed in a circular shape. The broken leaves flew across the sky above the locust tree, and were knocked down by the rain under the brilliance of the lightning flash!

After three consecutive waves of air, Li Ye had already reached the sky above the pagoda tree. Among the broken leaves flying all over the sky, Lu Jujian pierced through the rain curtain and stabbed straight at Shao Siming!

Jianfeng was in front of Shao Siming in an instant, and Li Ye had even seen clearly the pupils in the other party's clear eyes, but he didn't see the other party's panic. From the corner of his eyes, he saw that the other party's flexible fingers were still moving Change, seal.

A leaf chain as thick as an arm flew out of Shao Si Ming's body suddenly, and wrapped around Lu Gujian in an instant. In the flash, it caused the sword body to deviate from the track. Shao Siming tilted his head slightly, and Lu Gujian followed her before the eyes.

The two passed by, and the flying purple hair hit Li Ye's face, making it numb and itchy. From the gap between the hair's feet, Li Ye saw the delicate and flawless earlobe of the other party, with a pair of amethyst earrings hanging under it. In the peripheral vision of the sword energy, a flash of glazed color flashed.

When Li Ye turned around again, Shao Siming had swept straight back from the treetops, her skirts were flying forward, and her long hair covered half of her face. Draw a Yin-Yang figure in front of you.

The locust tree burst into waves of green leaves, countless leaves soared up, turned into sharp little swords, and shot volley towards Li Ye!

Li Ye swung the Lu Ju sword, splashing out a piece of sword light like fish scales, protecting his whole body airtight.

Breaking through Ye Hai's sword net, with his toes on the top of the tree, he jumped towards Shao Siming again.

Shao Siming turned around, flitting away from the treetops, with outstretched arms and sleeves dancing, like an elusive lark.

Li Ye lifted Lu Gujian obliquely, locked his eyes on Shao Si Ming's back, stepped on the leaves and chased after him, his figure opened a straight and empty path in the rain, and gradually moved away from the station.

Da Si Ming hadn't appeared yet, but Li Ye was not afraid at all. As long as he didn't attack at the post station, Chi Yu could be avoided. As for the ambush, Li Ye seemed to be alone now, but he was not actually going deep alone.
