Chapter 33 Bread Falls from the Sky, God Appears
Capital
In Bai Wan's laboratory, she sat alone.
He looked extremely haggard.
She had already deciphered the modified original code in the game.
But the truth was unacceptable to her.
Because that string of code changed the entire ecological environment of Daliang State: a massive earthquake with a tremor exceeding 8.0, mudslides, floods, high temperatures...
This series of disasters, which occur rarely in decades, takes place in an imaginary ancient country.
How to deal with it.
Even in today's age of rapid technological advancement, there will still be heavy losses.
The source code has been reworked for a long time, and any attempt to modify it would be fraught with the risk of completely breaking the game. Intercommunication between the past and the present is no longer possible.
So Bai Wan became anxious.
I thought that if I could change Jiang Qingqing into a recharger, she would be able to come to the modern era from Daliang.
The more anxious you are, the more flustered you will be.
She made a series of code changes, but then realized:
Jiang Qingqing was unable to meet the conditions for recharging. Daliang had no mobile phone, no account, and no RMB to recharge.
I had no choice but to change the recharged character back.
After thinking it over again and again, Bai Wan called Bai Jing and said, "Please make an appointment with Fu Zhengnan for me. I want to meet him."
——
Jiang Qingqing and Jiang Yu hid in an abandoned shop.
Looking outside through the small hole in the window.
The streets were full of refugees who had no place to live and could only use a few bundles of straw to sleep on on the main road.
Elderly people, young children, and pregnant women with limited mobility—all of them pale and thin, each occupying a different space. They want to die but can't, and they want to live but can't.
He just sat on the straw mat with a depressed look and numbness.
"Why didn't the imperial court open the granaries to release grain?"
Jiang Qingqing was puzzled as to how such a phenomenon could occur in Daliang.
Daliang is already the richest among the four countries, and it is impossible for it to let the people of a city starve to this extent.
Jiang Yu looked at the people whom he usually protected, who were now homeless and without food, and he felt more and more disgusted with the Queen Mother and her party.
In a bad tone:
"The Queen Mother's party has always been like this. As early as when they stole the city defense map and sold it to Tianqi, I gave up hope in them."
"Just a bunch of self-interested people."
Jiang Qingqing didn't refute, but simply said, "Shall we go find the governor of Xuzhou now?"
It's still bright outside.
Portraits of her and Jiang Yu were pasted on walls all over the city.
Jiang Yu had no worries at all. "Let's go to the governor's mansion to find Xu Jifeng. We'll cover our faces tightly and nothing will happen."
Seeing Jiang Yu so confident, Jiang Qingqing didn't say anything more.
When faced with something she is not good at or familiar with, she will fully trust people who are more experienced than her.
only.
This time Jiang Qingqing made the wrong bet.
When the two of them appeared on the street with half of their faces covered.
The refugees gathered on the street all stared at them up and down without blinking.
The intention in his eyes was not friendly.
Pairs of gray-yellow eyes mixed with bloodshot watched their every move intently, like hungry wolves meeting fresh meat, and seemed ready to pounce at any time.
Jiang Qingqing was a little worried.
"Did they recognize us?"
Jiang Yu wasn't sure and raised his hand to cover his face more.
"Probably not. I guess it's because we look unfamiliar to him."
Jiang Qingqing nodded and imitated Jiang Yu's actions, pulling up the mask to half cover her eyes.
But the two of them didn't take many steps.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd of refugees shouted:
"Catch them! They're fugitives! If you catch them, you'll have food!"
A group of hungry people seemed to hear the hope of life.
The collective riot rushed towards Jiang Qingqing and Jiang Yu.
"Go!"
Jiang Yu made a prompt decision, not caring about the cloth covering his face. He grabbed Jiang Qingqing's wrist, then chose a less crowded alley and ran inside.
As he ran, he overturned water tanks and wooden racks on the roadside.
He used everything he could to block the attack and threw it at the refugees behind him.
But refugees continued to emerge from every corner, and there was already a tendency for them to be surrounded.
While running, Jiang Qingqing turned around and looked at the refugees behind her who had completely lost their minds, and tightened her grip on the whip.
There was hesitation in his tone.
"Fight?"
The group of people were starving to death. Jiang Qingqing felt that if even one of them started eating human flesh, the rest would follow suit.
People who have nowhere else to turn have no humanity at all.
Just like they are today.
With their faces covered, it was impossible for the refugees to recognize them as fugitives so quickly.
They kept chasing after him because they wanted to capture any possible suspects. They were too eager to get the food reward.
Soon, the alley became narrower and narrower.
More and more refugees joined in the hunt for them.
Jiang Yu had already drawn out his soft sword and was ready to attack.
But after all, these were the people he had risked his life to protect on the battlefield, so it was not easy to take action.
Jiang Yu stood in front of Jiang Qingqing, facing the refugees who were pressing forward step by step.
As the crowd approached, those in the front even started fighting over who would own the reward.
"I discovered them first!"
"What's the use of you finding it! I caught it first. My family of seven relies on that little food to survive."
"I have three young children at home! Who isn't suffering in today's world?"
"Do you know how long I haven't eaten? My family and I used to live a prosperous life in Yingzhou, but the Jiang army was defeated. Now I can't even get food on the street!"
“…”
As a princess of a country, Jiang Qingqing was once supported by the people.
Hearing these words from the refugees, my heart aches and I feel grief-stricken. It is the court's inaction that has brought suffering to these people who could have lived and worked in peace and contentment.
at last.
In the chaos, even several children, aged seven or eight, joined in the fight. They didn't even know the whole situation, thinking that as long as they won, they would get food.
How could such a small body be a match for a grown man?
In less than a moment, he was thrown to the ground and vomited blood.
“That’s enough!”
Jiang Qingqing pushed away Jiang Yu who was protecting her and stood in front.
He held tightly in his sleeve the newly made jade token that he had asked Fu Zhengnan for a few days ago.
The finest mutton-fat white jade was used to carve a one-to-one replica of the picture drawn by Jiang Qingqing. The hollow carvings were decorated with ancient patterns, and the shape of a dragon was faintly visible.
That is the dragon symbol that symbolizes the crown prince of Daliang.
Jiang Qingqing wanted to reveal her identity and let them calm down for two days. She would definitely find a way to make the court open the granaries and release grain.
Just when Jiang Qingqing was about to speak.
Countless bags of bread fell from the sky, landing on the crowd and on the children who were knocked to the ground.
Countless.
Someone tore open the package out of curiosity.
The sweet smell made the refugees, who had not eaten for a long time, scramble for food.
Fortunately, there was enough bread, barely enough for everyone present to grab two or three bags.
Everyone was bending down to pick up the things.
Only Jiang Qingqing and Jiang Yu stood in the center.
Jiang Qingqing looked up.
Looking at the countless small breads falling from the sky, there was a moment of trance in my eyes.
Is it a god?
It comes to help itself again...
