They were dressed in rags, with tattered clothes barely covering their bodies. Some were even naked, revealing their skinny bodies.
Their faces were all yellow and black, and their eyes were full of fatigue and helplessness.
Many people's hair was as messy as grass, covered with dirt and dust, and their bodies were dirty. They looked even more beggarly than beggars.
They all leaned on a piece of wood in their hands and walked unsteadily, as if a gust of wind could blow them down.
Many people need to support each other to stand firmly.
The children clung to their adults, their small bodies also looking very thin.
Those eyes that should have been full of innocence were now filled with fear and confusion.
Some elderly people sat trembling on the roadside.
Obviously, he was exhausted due to long-term hunger.
It’s hard to imagine how they walked step by step to Pengshui City.
How much suffering did you have to go through to become what you are now?
Wang Yan felt increasingly heavy-hearted as he looked at the miserable state of these people.
The current Holy Dragon Kingdom is worse than hell.
After observing for a moment, he said to Tan Junyan, "When the food arrives this afternoon, give them a snack. Also, the people of Pengshui City, we can't let them go hungry anymore."
Tan Junyan nodded heavily, "Yes."
Looking at Wang Yan, a sense of respect welled up in my heart.
Before, I knew that Wang Yan was financially strong, capable, and had strong decisiveness.
But now we know that he not only has a strong appeal, but also has a kind heart.
He couldn't bear to see the suffering in the world, and his heart was full of kindness and compassion.
In troubled times, everyone is in danger and will do anything to survive, but Wang Yan cares about the people of the world.
Even though these people had no relationship with him, he could not bear to see them suffer.
Looking back on everything that happened between him and Wang Yan, he always did things to help others without expecting anything in return.
He doesn't talk about doing good deeds all the time, but everything he does shows his kindness.
He is just kind, not weak. In a way, this is also a kind of strength.
How great it would be if the Holy Dragon Kingdom had such a monarch!
We should find a way to persuade him to become emperor here.
That would surely bring a ray of light, and would be a blessing for the people of the world.
Seeing Wang Yan's attentiveness, he began to introduce: "These people include not only people from nearby cities, but also people from other countries, such as Dayan and Daliang."
"Some of the journeys are long, and they have to climb mountains and wade through rivers. The chance of successfully reaching Pengshui City is less than half, and more than half will die on the way."
"Even after arriving in Pengshui City, some people will have mental problems, like that person..."
Tan Junyan pointed and Wang Yan looked sideways.
I saw a ragged young man squatting in the corner with disheveled hair and dirty face.
His eyes were empty and lifeless, and he sometimes smiled foolishly and sometimes muttered to himself.
He was mumbling some fragmented words, and it was hard to understand what he was saying.
Obviously, he suffered a great mental blow.
His hands trembled from time to time, as if he was still immersed in fear.
Wang Yan was surprised: "How could this happen?"
"Because he had been eating the carrion of his dead companions along the way, he was mentally stimulated greatly, which is why he acted like this."
"Some people couldn't accept that they had to eat human flesh to survive, so they ended their lives along the way."
"The soldiers in the city will take these crazy people away every once in a while, gather them together, and manage them in a unified manner."
"Some people will get better after a while when they are in a new environment."
Wang Yan nodded slightly, "I see."
Tan Junyan continued to introduce,
"In order to ensure that more people can reach Pengshui City safely, we will send out some carriages every day, carrying some water and food, to deliver supplies to those arriving from further away."
“When those carriages return, they will also bring back some refugees who are exhausted.”
"But even so, many people still cannot reach Pengshui City."
"We have a limited number of war horses and cannot save everyone, but this is all we can do right now."
"You've done a great job."
"This is a good deed, and it also helps me build strength."
Wang Yanwen pondered for a moment, "If there were more war horses, wouldn't we be able to help more people?"
Tan Junyan frowned slightly. "That's the theory, but in these troubled times, war horses are an extremely scarce strategic resource."
"Acquiring more war horses is not easy. Not to mention the high price of war horses, even if you have enough funds, it is difficult to find a stable channel to purchase a large number of war horses in a short period of time."
"hehe."
Wang Yan chuckled, "I told you before that after a large amount of food arrives, we can exchange it for the Barbarian Army's war horses. Do you remember?"
"I remember, but the situation is different now. Back then, the population was small, but now it's too large, and the food demand is staggering..."
"I'll take care of the food." Wang Yan interrupted Tan Junyan.
"After the food arrives this afternoon, spread the word and try to exchange it for war horses from the barbarians and Daliang."
"In this way, we can not only strengthen ourselves, but also weaken our powerful enemies."
"That's it, just do as I say."
"Come on, take me somewhere else."
…
Wang Yan and Tan Junyan continued to move forward and soon arrived at the moat.
The artificially dug river channel surrounds the city. The river is not wide, but it has a certain depth. It looks inconspicuous, but it is the only source of water for the people in the city.
