The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny

Chapter 290: Disaster scene

Listening to the shopkeeper's words, Xie Qiao probably understood a lot in his heart.

The shopkeeper Chang looked at the little girl and felt that the little girl's thoughts must be naive, so he explained: "The scene of this rat disaster is very scary. I have seen it once in a few years. Those rats are in groups. The appearance of the group, regardless of day and night, in the house, whether it is wood or porcelain pottery, almost will be eaten, even the house can not be kept, let alone the chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, there are still fields."

"The crops that the rats have gnawed on are just a short time away. There is no grass, and the rats are not afraid of people, and there are no lack of people being killed by rats. Fortunately, the scope of the rat disaster is not large this time. Otherwise, the court is here. Surely it will be devastated, and the victims outside the capital are more than those?"

The shopkeeper Chang sighed.

"It's getting colder and colder now, this year outside this year... there may be a lot of freezing to death." Shopkeeper Chang added.

"There should be a lot of wealthy homes in the capital where porridge and good deeds are done. When I came to Beijing, I looked at several porridge sheds outside, and there were people who gave quilts. How could there be so many people who froze to death?" Xie Qiao asked.

It seems that there are not too many victims this year, and the materials needed should also be available.

The shopkeeper Chang glanced outside and saw that no one was coming. Then he said: "If you get something donated by others here, it will be snatched away by someone over there. How can it be used?"

"Snatched?" Xie Qiao frowned slightly.

"The victims are not allowed to enter the city unless they have work to do. Where can there be stability in the city outside of this city? There will be some little hooligans who are specially guarding outside the city. Seeing who has got good things and looks like a bully, they will go. I robbed things before, and the robbed things were sold to pawnshops after reselling. The pawnshops are also engaged in business. How can they not accept the goods when they come to the door? Where did the girl think that the things I received? "The shopkeeper said mysteriously.

Xie Qiao can know without thinking, this thing finally...

It will be bought by a wealthy family, then changed hands, and then sent outside the city.

"These clothes are going to be robbed, maybe the food will not be much better, right?" Xie Qiao said again.

"No, most of the victims outside rely on some porridge or their own work to earn some money to support themselves, but most of them drink porridge for a few months, where can their health be better? They have yellow and thin skin, and it is difficult to find a job. There are also some. People distribute rice directly, but the same is true, they will be robbed." The shopkeeper laughed.

It is cruel, but it is the victims of the disaster, so how can it be possible to live well?

This is just about food and clothing.

It is always difficult to build houses directly outside the city, so they are simple sheds, covered with thatch and built with wood and stone around them, which always leaks air.

This winter is cold, and in a few days, I am afraid it will drip into ice.

When it snows, the shed might collapse.

But that's the case, I'm afraid the disaster victims' hearts are pretty good.

If it was the year of the catastrophe, it would not be surprising to change children and eat. Although some people will freeze to death today, most people can still survive. As long as the snow melts in the spring, they can return to their hometowns.

Xie Qiao thoughtfully.

Seeing Xie Qiao's silence, the shopkeeper suddenly felt a little guilty.

Don't be frightened because this little girl is weak and weak.

"In fact, it's okay. There are not many victims this time. Life is much better than before. The girl is still young. She has never seen the scene of the disaster before. Now this place is really nothing." The shopkeeper said again.
