Chapter 431 Tragic Sorrow
After that, the only sound left at Qin Xiangnuan and her friends' table was the quiet chewing of food. Qin Xiangnuan finished the food in her hands before them, took a look at how seriously they ate, and then listened to the rumors from others.
"Let's keep going." Qin Xiangnuan appeared calm and composed, but she was also paying attention to the situation of her deskmate. She said this almost as soon as they put their hands down.
They all nodded and soon set out on their return journey.
This time no one urged them, the carriage ran very fast, and everyone's heart was drawn to the border.
The closer they got to the border, the gloomier their hearts sank.
"Third Miss, something really happened."
The tragic scene of the refugees could be seen on the road. It goes without saying how luxurious Qin Xiangnuan and his companions' carriages were. Even if the fleeing people saw an ordinary carriage, they would still rush over to ask for help.
"Everyone, please have some mercy on us and give us some food."
The vendors gave away almost all the food they had. They were almost home anyway, so they didn't care about the few bites they had.
But then they realized they were thinking too simply.
The people who kept asking for help from Lolo appeared later, but they were empty-handed and could only shake their heads in the face of these people.
"Gentlemen and ladies, can't you just stand by and watch someone die?"
"We haven't eaten for many days, please be kind!"
"But we really have no food left." Li Yuran said.
Naturally, no one believed them, and some even wanted to rob them. They targeted everything they bought for their home.
"Don't touch these! They're not edible."
The hungry people could not listen to their words. Qin Xiangnuan and Li's eldest brother could not use force against them, so it took some time to resist their impulses.
"We really have no food left." Qin Xiangnuan shouted at them.
Then Qin Xiangnuan took out some silver to give them to them, but no one took it.
"What use do we have for silver? We just want to eat and drink."
Qin Xiangnuan's hand paused there, and she looked up at the increasing number of people. She really couldn't save so many people at the moment, and she couldn't take out enough food from other places to satisfy all of them in front of everyone.
"Hold on a little longer. Take these silver coins. They will be useful when we get to the town ahead." Qin Xiangnuan said.
Qin Xiangnuan estimated that they had enough physical strength to reach the next place, but the distance would be very difficult to walk.
Perhaps because he saw how generous Qin Xiangnuan was, he finally didn't continue to embarrass them. After taking the money, he dragged his heavy body away.
When the merchants saw Qin Xiangnuan's actions, they were definitely moved at first, but as the amount of silver Qin Xiangnuan gave out continued to increase dramatically, they inevitably felt uncomfortable.
I finally earned some money on this trip, but before I could even show it to my family, it was gone.
However, the vendors did not stop Qin Xiangnuan from continuing to spend money, and no one could say anything about it at this time.
"Miss, I think you are a good person. I would like to advise you not to go any further and turn back." Qin Xiangnuan's kindness was also met with a kind reminder.
Qin Xiangnuan smiled at the old man and said, "Uncle, my family is still waiting for me there, so I must go back."
Hearing this, the old man sighed deeply. After Qin Xiangnuan handed him the money, he turned back and looked at her deeply for a few times, then shook his head, feeling very regretful.
But they were all people who could not protect themselves, so it ended after just a sigh.
"Nuannuan, your money is almost gone, right?" They all saw how much Qin Xiangnuan gave out. Li Yuran felt that Qin Xiangnuan's wallet was almost empty, but it was not noticeable from her calm expression.
Although he was asking, Li Yu Ran handed over his purse.
Qin Xiangnuan just took a quick look and asked her to take it back and keep it.
"That's enough, don't worry." Qin Xiangnuan said calmly.
Then Qin Xiangnuan looked ahead, and a familiar road came into view.
Finally, they returned to the border at an extremely slow speed. The place already had a dull atmosphere due to being a place of exile, and now with the addition of a bit of the breath of death, it became even more silent.
"How did it become like this?"
They did not continue to sit in the carriage. When they saw this scene, they got off one after another. Some people's legs became weak after getting off, but fortunately they held on to the carriage and did not kneel on the ground.
"Miss Qin, what is going on?" The eldest brother of the Li family turned to ask Qin Xiangnuan with a heavy look in his eyes.
"Nuannuan, did you know what happened before you came back?" Li Yuran's eyes turned red, and he asked Qin Xiangnuan with disbelief.
Qin Xiangnuan shook her head gently, "I didn't expect it to be so serious."
The development of the matter was far beyond Qin Xiangnuan's imagination.
Qin Xiangnuan quickly regained her composure and said, "Now is not the time to delve into why this happened. We should hurry back as soon as possible."
"The third lady is right. We must go back as soon as possible. Go back quickly."
As the vendor spoke, he walked towards the carriage and urged the people behind him to get on quickly.
After that, they rode away, eager to return home.
Fortunately, they did not encounter any fighting along the way, but they saw bloodstains on the ground. Some of them had already dried up and merged with the dust, making it impossible to distinguish their original color.
"Nuannuan, can we still see our family?" Li Yuran was very tense.
The vendors were also gritting their teeth. Although they did not see a dead body on the street, the deserted scene was enough to terrify them.
They all believed that the possibility of the person still being there was extremely small, but before they saw it with their own eyes, they still had hope in their hearts.
Qin Xiangnuan didn't dare to make any promises to them and could only look at them firmly, hoping to give them some strength.
They walked all the way and first came to the home of a certain merchant. He rushed in without caring that the carriage had not yet stopped, shouting the name of the person he was worried about.
As expected, there was no response.
"No, it's gone, everything is gone!"
The sorrowful voice reached the ears of the people present, and it was like a spell, shattering the little fantasy that remained in their hearts.
I didn't see anyone along the way, so how could there be anyone at home?
Now there was no need to send them home one by one, as wailing sounds were heard one after another.
"No, how could there be no one here?" Li Yu Ran shook his head doubtfully, muttering to himself.
Suddenly Li Yu Ran also rushed off the carriage. The eldest brother of the Li family was caught off guard and watched Li Yu Ran run away from him.
