Chapter 390: Escape from Famine in the Ancient World 11
Xie Ying looked at the thing in Yuyan's palm with his eyes flashing. He carefully reached out to touch it, and asked Yuyan.
"Is this the treasure bestowed by the gods? How can such a small treasure turn into so many strange and bizarre things?"
"Thank you, brother. The gods call this the Qiankun bag because it contains the universe. Although it is only the size of a palm, the inside is very huge. It contains countless things that the gods have bestowed on us."
"Is that so! Then how do you use it? Can only you who are recognized by God use it? And does it contain whatever you want?" At this moment, Xie Ying was like a curious baby, with all kinds of questions popping up one after another.
"Of course not. It contains some things necessary for disasters. Although I can only use it with the approval of God. But in fact, as long as you drip blood to recognize it as your master, it will belong to that person, and that person can use it normally." Yu Yan played with the Qiankun bag while carefully explaining the doubts of Xie Ying in front of her.
"Really?" Xie Ying's eyes flashed. He took a deep look at the Qiankun bag in Yuyan's hand, then reached out and hugged Yuyan in his arms, looking at Yuyan's distressed face and sighed.
"Yanyan, you've worked so hard. Such an important task has to fall on someone as fragile as you. Especially recently, the number of disaster victims has gradually increased. You've become haggard these days. I feel so distressed. If I could, I really want to do everything for you, save you from suffering, save you from worry, and let you live a happy life from now on."
Looking at Xie Ying who was so affectionate towards her, Yuyan couldn't help but be moved.
"Okay, Brother Xie, let's work together to help those disaster victims live a peaceful and prosperous life again."
After saying that, he handed the Qiankun bag to Xie Ying with an innocent look on his face, and watched him and the Qiankun bag recognize each other by dripping blood.
Xie Ying held the Qiankun bag tightly in his hand, but did not forget to half-hug Yuyan and made a promise to her sincerely.
"Yanyan, let me help you! You are my beloved, how can I bear to see you suffer from the hardships of wandering again. After returning to Beijing, you can have a good rest in my house! I will help you finish all the things, you just need to wait until the disaster is settled, and then marry me with peace of mind."
"it is good……"
Yuyan nodded and lowered her head shyly.
Yuyan has been leading a large number of refugees for seven days regardless of wind and rain.
When a heavy snowstorm started again that day, Yuyan and her group were already skiing on a giant boat, heading quickly towards Shengjing, fifty miles away.
When they were ten miles outside Shengjing City, they encountered large groups of disaster victims.
Because the city was already overcrowded, the court had no choice but to close the city gates and build shelters outside the city for the victims to live in.
However, due to the severe natural disasters, those temporary shelters had already been damaged, and they were not allowed to enter the city and could only wander outside the city.
When they saw this huge ship that could move quickly on the snow, they were all shocked. They were even more surprised to see the people on the giant ship who were neatly dressed and had ruddy faces.
The natural disaster had lasted for nearly half a month. They ate grass roots and drank flood water. They finally walked out of Shengjing City, thinking they could find a glimmer of hope for survival, but they did not expect to be cruelly rejected.
Apart from the initial shelter and a bowl of porridge a day, the court no longer cares about them.
However, the people on the giant ship not only wore strange clothes that were warm and comfortable, but they even had hot porridge in their hands. This obvious difference almost made the victims break down.
At this moment, evil thoughts arose in the hearts of countless victims, but as soon as these evil thoughts arose, Yu Yan's words saved them all.
"It's freezing cold, you must all be hungry! Come, have a bowl of hot porridge each! After you get the food, you can go to the side to get some warm clothes."
As he said this, he personally took a bowl of porridge off the boat and handed it to a woman.
The woman looked at the thick rice porridge handed to her without even looking at Yuyan. She didn't care about the heat and snatched it away and poured it into her mouth. She even scraped the remaining rice at the bottom of the bowl into her mouth with her hands.
The remaining victims nearby became anxious upon seeing this. They had not had such sweet rice porridge for a long time, and they wanted to rush forward to grab it the next moment.
However, before the victims surrounded Yu Yan, she pointed at the giant ship and reiterated her serious remarks to them again.
"Line up in an orderly manner to receive hot porridge and clothes on board. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will have their hands and feet broken and thrown out."
As soon as Yuyan finished speaking, a row of strong men holding sticks stepped forward, looking very oppressive. Compared with the weak victims, they looked like little chicks.
Upon seeing this, many victims immediately lined up obediently to the side, looking at the porridge distribution area in front of them with bright eyes.
When they actually ate steamed buns and meat dumplings and put on very warm and thick winter clothes, the victims felt as if they had returned to the time before the disaster.
Still living a peaceful life without worries about food, clothing and shelter.
After experiencing the ravages of countless natural disasters, they have been struggling to survive and have finally seen a glimmer of hope.
From the previous fear and despair to the current hope, they looked at the beautiful woman standing beside them with full trust and respect.
She illuminated their dark lives like a ray of light and became the savior in their hearts.
They believe that Yuyan will lead them from hardship to light and create a better tomorrow.
Are you asking why we have such high expectations and evaluations of someone we have only met once? Don't we suspect that she has ulterior motives?
Is there anything to doubt? No!
They are now good for nothing but their miserable lives. The fairy gives them food and drink, and clothes, so that they can survive in this troubled world. She is their great benefactor.
The giant ship traveled from ten miles outside the city to outside Shengjing. It took Yuyan two hours to walk this distance, and she took in tens of thousands of disaster victims along the way.
Although there were many victims, fortunately there was plenty of space on the giant ship and they could all be accommodated if they squeezed together.
After all the disaster victims were properly arranged and given a large amount of rice, flour, grain and other supplies, Yu Yan followed Xie Ying into Shengjing City.
Shengjing was the imperial capital of the Shang Dynasty. Its buildings were magnificent and difficult to destroy, and it was protected by many imperial guards. During this half-month-long period of strong winds, blizzards, floods and other extreme natural disasters, the imperial capital was the place with the least losses and casualties.
Therefore, when their homes were destroyed and their lives were at stake, the people fled to Shengjing in large numbers, just to try to survive.
But today's Shengjing is no longer as prosperous as before.
Now the streets and alleys are filled with ragged victims. Every day, large groups of people wait at the doorsteps of the wealthy families, waiting for a handout from them to survive.
