Chapter 1245: I'm Fainting from Hunger

She even felt that her senior sister was like her own sister.

But now, just because of a mortal, her senior sister scolded her like that. This huge contrast was really hard for her to accept.

I'm just a mortal, what's the big deal?

Besides, what she said just now was also right!

Although those who practice Taoism have to protect the common people on earth, they also have the right to choose, right?

Now, the people outside the city have clearly been infected with some disease. What should we do if our senior sister comes back with the disease?

Besides, they are really dirty.

Because of resentment in her heart, Ji Yue did not step forward. She just watched her senior sister's actions from a distance.

At this time, Lu Xingwan had already walked quickly to the side of the unconscious refugee.

She had already squatted down and started taking the man's pulse.

To be honest, she originally thought that what the soldier said just now was just because he was hungry and he said it deliberately to stop her from going forward.

But she didn't expect that when she actually took the man's pulse, she realized that what the soldier said was true.

The man in front of him now had no idea how long he had been hungry. Even his pulse was very weak.

Wanwan was extremely anxious. She quickly took out the pill that Sister Qionghua had given her from her arms and stuffed it into the man's mouth.

She knew that this person would wake up soon.

But the most important thing right now is to solve the problem of food for these people.

The pills can make him feel comfortable for a while, but once the effect of the pills wears off, how can he feel full if he hasn't eaten enough?

At this time, the other refugees who had rushed into the city with this man gathered around.

They were some distance away from Wanwan, as if they were driven into a corner and they did not dare to move forward.

Wanwan looked up at them and saw that their clothes were all tattered and even the shoes on their feet were worn out. They must have walked for a long time to get to this city, right?

Now looking at their pale and thin appearance, we can know that they must be extremely hungry.

But he wasn't as hungry as the old man, so he didn't faint.

But now, perhaps because Wanwan was rescuing the old man, there was some expectation in their eyes.

Although he didn't dare to go forward, he kept stretching his neck and looking over here.

They didn't need to say anything, they would know it every night. It seemed that during this period of time, they must have been driven away by many soldiers on their way to this city.

She clenched her fists involuntarily.

She had lived in the mortal world and knew the darkness of this world.

Maybe it's just their nature, or maybe it's because of their superiors...

These officers and soldiers are afraid of their superiors, so they act like this.

She had experienced this kind of thing before when she and her mother went out incognito. The most useful thing in the world is not money, but authority.

Wanwan just half-knelt there, her eyes slowly scanning the refugees.

Their eyes are full of desire for life.

Yes, if there was no desire for life, how could one have traveled thousands of miles to come to Yong'an City?

She finally set her gaze on the officers and soldiers who had just met. However, the officers and soldiers who knew Wanwan's identity did not dare to look up at her.

He knew Princess Yong'an's temper. If Princess Yong'an knew that they deliberately kept these refugees outside, she would probably be angry.

He avoided Princess Yong'an's gaze and did not dare to move forward.

All of Wanwan's anger finally turned into a heavy sigh.

At this moment, the old man who was half held in Wanwan's arms moved slightly, and seemed to utter a few faint moans. Wanwan quickly turned her head to look at him, her eyes full of concern.

She knew the old man would wake up, and she had many things she wanted to ask him, and she wanted to confirm with him.

Does my second brother know about these things?

Are these people protecting each other and trying to hide it from my second brother, or is it that my second brother has already become part of the corrupt group with them?

She didn't believe that her second brother would become such a person, so she still had some hope in her heart.

The old man in the arms slightly opened his eyes. As he had not eaten for a long time, everything in front of him was blurry. But when he tried hard to open his eyes wide, he found that he was half-held in the arms of a young woman.

He was just surprised for a moment.

When Wanwan saw him wake up, she showed concern on her face. She hurried forward and asked, "Dad, are you awake?"

Her voice seemed to carry a soothing power that calmed the old man instantly.

This old man was originally from a wealthy place. Although his family was not well-off, he had no worries about food and clothing.

The climate in Yong'an County is not good, and there are frequent droughts, so they had made preparations early on, but this drought lasted for a very long time.

Even though they had made preparations in advance, there was nothing they could do.

This severe drought lasted for one or two years throughout Yong'an County.

All the food was used up, and there was no more grain to buy in the city. They were really helpless, but they still wanted hope to survive, so they fled their hometown and headed towards Yong'an City.

They were heading towards Yong'an City, and naturally many people joined them on the way. They had gone through untold hardships and thought that once they arrived in Yong'an City, everything would be fine. However, they did not expect to be driven out by officers and soldiers.

This is not only true for this city, but also for officers and soldiers in other cities.

They were all trying to stop them from entering the city.

Along the way, they have long been accustomed to the indifference of passers-by.

So when such a beautiful woman suddenly appeared in front of him, he felt a little dazed.

For a moment he thought he had reached paradise.

Just now he was about to step forward and talk to the soldier, but unexpectedly, he fainted before he even reached him.

And when I woke up again, I don't know why, but my stomach, which was rumbling just now, now felt full.

He was full of surprise.

Moreover, he felt that his whole body was warm.

When Wanwan helped him up, she naturally infused some spiritual power into his body.

She knew that her spiritual power, for a mortal, could probably sustain her for a short while.

She wanted to know what happened.

Wanwan helped him to lean against a stone nearby, then she squatted down, looked him straight in the eye, and asked softly, "Why did you faint here? What happened?"

Although she had some guesses, she still wanted to hear the old man tell her the truth.

When this person heard Wanwan's words, his eyes instantly turned red.

He looked at the officers and soldiers not far away. Now, when they looked at them, they were no longer showing off their might as before, but were more tentative.

Although he didn't know why, his lips moved, but he didn't know how to open his mouth.
