"Lord Yang need not be so nervous, and there is no need to be so polite.”
Seeing Yang Shouren's anxious and terrified look, Ying Zi smiled faintly.
Hearing this,
Yang Shouren heaved a sigh of relief.
Although it was only a short contact,
However, from Ying Ziyi's expression, he instantly realized something.
The Third Young Master in front of him was not one of those arrogant and despotic young masters.
"Young Master, I've already instructed my subordinates to arrange your accommodation.”
Yang Shouren quickly said.
"I'll have to trouble Lord Yang for everything."
Ying Zi also smiled.
"It is my honor to be able to work for Young Master.”
Yang Shouren was flattered.
Next,
Yang Shouren brought Ying Zi into Kaiyuan City.
There was not much difference between the environment inside and outside the city.
Although there was more human traffic in the city, it still showed an extremely dry environment everywhere.
On the spacious street.
The ground was still covered in hideous cracks, and the dense cracks were hair-raising.
There were no trees on either side of the street that could provide shade.
The golden sun was still able to bring extremely hot temperatures to the city.
After walking around for a while,
There was no vigorous exercise throughout the whole process, but Yang Shouren's forehead was already covered in sweat.
This was obvious.
The environment inside the city was no different from the harsh environment outside the city.
In Ying Ziyi's eyes.
Whether they lived in the city or outside the city, there was not much difference.
"Lord Yang, has the environment here always been like this?”
Ying Zi also seemed to be deep in thought as he asked casually.
"Young Master, you misunderstood."
Yang Shouren smiled bitterly, shook his head, and sighed." Three years ago, we wouldn't have had such a drought here. But for some reason, from a certain day three years ago, we have never seen heavy rain fall here.”
"Gradually."
"The water source has been exhausted."
"Even the deep well can't squeeze out a drop of water.”
"We can't find water anywhere, making our people suffer.”
"Having lost our water source, we can only think of ways to survive as long as we can. However, if such a life continued, this place would become a desolate ruin sooner or later.”
Seeing this,
"So, with your status, Lord Yang, don't you have any plans to leave this place?" Ying Zi asked curiously. Go somewhere else?"
"Come to think of it, this is not a difficult matter for Lord Yang.”
"The others have lived here for generations and have long taken root here. They don't have the ability to leave this place. But Lord Yang is different. You have the ability to choose to leave.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Yang Shouren was silent for a moment.
Then,
"As you said, Young Master, if I wanted to leave, I could have left two years ago." However, I am not afraid that you will laugh at me."
"In the end, I still can't bear to part with this place.”
"Besides,"
"Even now, I'm still full of hope and hope for this place. I feel that maybe it will rain heavily tomorrow.”
"It's precisely because I still have a certain amount of hope in my heart that I didn't choose to leave. I would rather continue to wait here than run around. It doesn't feel good to be alone in a foreign land.”
From these words,
Ying Zi could clearly hear it.
Yang Shouren revealed his true feelings.
This was definitely not a pretense.
He truly had a deep affection for this place.
If not,
If it were any other prefect, they would have already fled this place and found another place to live.
However, Yang Shouren didn't do that. Instead, he chose to continue waiting here.
This spirit and conviction made Ying Zi slightly moved.
Although he had only interacted with Yang Shouren for a short time, Ying Zi had already roughly understood the personality of this Prefect Qun from his words.
This was an honest person!
Even though he was the prefect of a city, and his power in the entire city could be said to cover the sky with one hand, he was still not infected with the lawless and lawless habits of most officials.
This kind of personality suited Ying Ziyi very well.
In this day and age, to be able to meet such a loyal official was indeed a very rare thing.
As they talked,
Yang Shouren gradually let go.
He was no longer as cautious and nervous as he was at the beginning.
He dared to say some of the things he felt in his heart in front of Ying Ziyi.
"Every time I see the refugees who die of thirst outside the city, I feel very upset.”
"However, I am powerless to change all of this.”
"This is…"
"Natural disaster!"
" How can human strength reverse a natural disaster?"
"If it's just a man-made disaster, I can still do my best to change it. However, in the face of a natural disaster, I instantly realized how insignificant I was.”
"Humans have their limits.”
"How can we fight against the heavens?"
He raised his head.
Yang Shouren looked at the blue sky and sighed miserably.
"Perhaps…"
"This is the punishment God has given us.”
"But we have never done anything wrong.”
"Why did you give us such a cruel punishment?”
Sighing again, Yang Shouren looked extremely helpless.
He paused.
He restrained his expression slightly and said in a panic,"I forgot myself for a moment and lost my composure in front of you. I'm really ashamed.”
"It's okay. I understand how you feel.”
Ying Zi patted Yang Shouren's shoulder.
He raised his head.
He also looked up at the sky.
The weather was hot.
The scorching sun scattered golden halos, extremely dazzling.
"I've long heard that refugees often riot here?" Ying Zi asked again. Do you know if this is true?"
Instantly,
Yang Shouren looked ashamed." It's all my fault. I'm incompetent. I didn't manage this place seriously enough." If you punish me, I won't complain.”
"But…"
"These refugees are a bunch of pitiful people.”
"If it weren't for this extremely harsh environment, who would be willing to risk their lives to start a riot?”
"In the end, it's because the environment here is too harsh!”
"If this trend continues, this place will become a desolate ruin in less than five years. No one will be able to survive here.”
From Yang Shouren,
Ying Zi had also heard many secrets.
He had already inquired about most of the information regarding this place.
"Is the environment too harsh?"
"Great drought…"
"Water is scarce!"
Ying Zi narrowed his eyes.
At this moment…
He already had a plan in mind.
After a while.
Wang Yingzi also smoothly met with Wang Jian and Meng Wu.
Under Yang Shouren's leadership,
The group of people traveled unhindered and arrived at the residence that the other party had already solemnly arranged.
……
The next day.
Early morning.
An anxious shout instantly echoed in Ying Ziyi's ears.
"Not good! Something bad has happened!"
"Young Master!"
"A group of refugees outside has erupted into conflict with our Qin country's army!”
Lin Han rushed over anxiously.
He walked all the way to Ying Ziyi and quickly told him the ins and outs of the matter.
"Hmm?"
"The refugees outside have clashed with our army?”
Ying Zi also raised his eyebrows, and his eyes became a little serious.
For some reason,
He had an illusion in his heart.
Everything seemed to have happened too coincidentally!
