I still remember that day when Xiaoyu Feifei stood side by side with Heyue under the eaves, he once said to me:
"All beings are suffering, and we should do something for them."
Bai Huang looked left and right, and sighed more and more. I can understand her, a little girl who grew up in the sea of clouds, likes to fight against injustices since she was a child. In the sea of clouds, he visits privately in micro-services everywhere, and draws his sword to help when the road is uneven. But compared to the scene in which 300,000 lives were hanging by a thread, the things I did before seemed like a child's play house.
Bai Huang had no choice, so he ran to my side, followed me, and asked:
"Lead, is there any way to save them?"
I replied lightly:
"have."
Bai Huang immediately asked:
"What?"
I turned my head, looked at Bai Huang, pointed to my head, and replied:
"People must help themselves, then others will help them, and then the sky will help them. You have to deal with your own affairs first, so that others can help you, and then God can help you. Three hundred thousand people would rather freeze to death one by one in the heavy snow. Even if you dare not go to the capital to make trouble, what can we do to help? This is not too far from the capital, right? If 300,000 refugees surround the capital and refuse to leave without food, then things will be much easier to handle .”
Bai Huang argued:
"That way they will die! Attack the capital and deal with treason. I don't know how many people will be killed."
"Then they won't now?"
I asked a question back, and Baihuang fell silent immediately.
Umi said beside him:
"Actually, some of them went to the capital to inform His Majesty about it, but they disappeared as soon as they arrived in the capital."
Baihuang snorted coldly:
"It's too much! Three hundred thousand people, do they really think that paper can hold fire?"
This is also where I find it strange.
The matter of Tianyue Mountain is not a trivial matter logically. It is impossible for Wangdu to have no news at all, and it is impossible to completely suppress it. During the Chinese New Year, everyone might tacitly keep quiet, but after the Chinese New Year is over, more and more people will die in Tianyue Mountain, and this matter will definitely come to light. It is obviously unwise to be greedy for disaster relief funds at this time, and I don't know if those people in the capital are really stupid or fake.
But I haven't been to the capital yet, so I don't know what the situation is like there. It's hard to jump to conclusions on this point. On this matter, Umi seemed unwilling to talk too much, drank the porridge, moved his body, and continued walking into the wind and snow.
I saw the beads of sweat on his forehead were quickly dried by the cold wind, and his footprints also varied in depth and shallow. I knew he hadn't had enough to eat these days. Whether it is sincerely helping disasters or buying people's hearts, eating the same meal as these people is undoubtedly a very good means. It can quickly gain the trust of the people, but this method of increasing affinity is not something that everyone can do. After all, if you mix a handful of rice with two handfuls of bran, whoever eats the porridge will know. I'm used to living a life of delicacies from mountains and seas, and it's hard to eat such things, but looking at the calm look on Umi's face when he was drinking porridge just now, it's not an act at all.
Bai Huang and I followed, walked a long way, and when we reached a relatively open place, a group of people suddenly stopped us. There were hundreds of these people, standing in front of Umi, the leader of the middle-aged man knelt on the ground and said sadly:
"My lord, are we really going to die here? The person we sent to the capital to see His Majesty has not returned yet! You are kind-hearted and capable, please show us a way to survive! If this continues , everyone is going to die here alive! My lord!"
Umi also had an unbearable expression on his face, and wanted to help the person in front of him up, but the person refused to get up. Umi had no choice but to kneel before them and said:
"It's me, Umi, who is incompetent and can't save you! But now, there is really no good way except to wait patiently. The year is over, at most after this year, there will be someone in the capital to take care of this matter. I promise You guys, no one else cares about this matter, I, Umi, take this life, and I want to find a way for you to survive."
When Umi knelt down, the snow stained on the white clothes fell to the ground one after another.
He bit his lip and said loudly:
"But wait! It's not the time yet... Please wait a little longer, everyone."
"As long as there is a way to survive, we will not ask you..."
The person in charge knelt down, also wept and said:
"Without a house, without food, the big guy sleeps in the wilderness every day. I don't know if I close my eyes at night, and I won't wake up again! This year, we may not be able to survive..."
Someone behind said:
"You don't know, we are residents living on the west side of Tianyue Mountain. Our family is already poor. This year, we are going to build a palace for His Majesty the King. The soldiers above came to drive us away, just like a group of robbers! They tore down our palace. The house was searched for our money and food, and our wives and children were mostly ruined by them. We managed to escape, and we were all wounded. Now that it’s snowing again, we really can’t survive!”
Bai Huang asked loudly:
"What kind of soldier, where did the soldier dare to be so rampant? What's the leader's name, tell me his name!"
Several people looked at each other and dared not speak.
Bai Huang was stomping her feet alone, splashing the soft snow everywhere:
"It's too much, it's too much! Is this still a human? I really treat the people like dogs, and ordinary robbers and burglars are not so excessive!"
I was frowning and thinking, when suddenly I heard a voice from behind the crowd:
"What can you say? I think you are just like those officials in the capital. You are afraid of losing your position, so you just come here to sell it! You are an official in the capital. If you really want to control it, you will do anything. No? I just know how to win people's hearts in front of us! Say one thing and do another, it's a dog official like you who harms us!"
I looked over there, but soon there were several voices in the crowd:
"That's right, you and them are all the same way! Stop us, don't let us go to the capital to make trouble, and say it's for our own good!"
"Otherwise, he is a Beijing official, why did he come to Tianyue Mountain? He obviously wants to suppress this matter, and you are the dog leg of those people above!"
"Don't be fooled by him, big guy! Think about it, he's been here for so many days, what else has he done besides coaxing us not to make trouble? He's talking about such a person!"
The rising and falling voices were very contagious, and soon they sounded from all directions.
Umi raised her head abruptly and shouted loudly:
"Don't be incited!"
He can see clearly, but at this time the situation is beyond his control alone.
Some people believe in him, and naturally some people look down on him. Once these people are incited, they are also a force that cannot be underestimated. Not all the people in the crowd are incited, and some people retain their reason. But the excited victims could no longer listen to their advice, or...these people wanted to do this for too long.
"Kill him! Kill him!"
"Kill this treacherous and loyal dog official!"
"Kill him! Go to the capital! Ask His Majesty the King for food!"
The people around gradually gathered around, at this time someone suddenly rushed out from the crowd, holding half a wooden stick in his hand, and slashed directly at Wumi's head.
