Chapter 349
Ye Xi was puzzled. It was just giving out porridge, why would she be scared?
But when she really saw it, she realized...she shouldn't have come.
She couldn't bear to see those people who were so emaciated from hunger.
The woman was fine, as she was wearing fairly thick clothes, although they looked like hemp stalks.
But some of the shirtless men were so skinny that they looked like skin and bones, with only a thin layer of skin covering their ribs.
She had never experienced these scenes before, and had only seen disaster relief and porridge distribution on TV dramas. She had never expected it to be like this in reality.
She felt very upset for a moment. She found that everyone was holding a bowl, some of which were even broken. She probably didn't know where they were picked up from.
Also, there were almost no children in the team, which is really scary when you think about it.
It would be fine if he starved to death, but if he died of something else, it would be truly cruel.
She couldn't bear to watch, so she turned around and said she wanted to go back. Wei Jue knew this would happen, there was no surprise.
"With your tiny courage, you actually try to travel around the country like others. Aren't you afraid of being eaten by others?" Wei Jue teased.
But when Ye Xi heard the word "eat", his face looked a little unhappy.
After sending the person back, Wei Jue continued to work.
The second batch of food also arrived, and he was about to start the next stage of work.
Ye Xi's meals these past few days were actually pretty average, with no big fish or meat, just white porridge with pickles.
Occasionally there would be some pickled minced meat. Yan Wu said that this was prepared by the adults in order to prevent the soldiers from having no strength due to not eating any meat. It was better than nothing.
Ye Xi could understand it very well. After all, in this place, there might not even be people... let alone the prey.
No matter how capable those soldiers were, they couldn't hunt prey in a place where there was no prey.
So these pickled minced meat might really be the only meat available, and giving some to her at this time is considered special care.
When she was eating, she thought of the people queuing up to get porridge, and felt that food was really hard to come by, and then she ate it all.
Ye Xi spent a day preparing herself mentally. She felt that since she could not be separated from this era, she had to learn to adapt. Escape would not help.
The next day, she still wanted to go out for a walk. This time Wei Jue was too busy to accompany her. He just told Yan Wu to protect her well.
Ye Xi went out for a walk again under the protection of the guards. She was still more concerned about the disaster relief situation because she had also contributed to it.
She first went to one of the points closest to her where the local prefect had arranged for porridge to be distributed, a place that Wei Jue had never taken her to before.
Because after she proposed it that day, Wei Jue took her directly to the porridge stall closest to where they were.
The porridge stall she went to today was a relatively large one.
She saw that there was already a long queue before noon, but the queue at this point was bigger than yesterday's. Why were there fewer people in the queue than yesterday?
Maybe it’s not time to distribute porridge yet.
After observing for a while, she decided to go to the kitchen first.
If she was just an ordinary person, she certainly could not freely enter and leave the disaster relief kitchen arranged by the government, but she came with Wei Jue.
Although the guard didn't know who she was, he recognized the clothes of Yan Wu and his group following her and knew they were Wei Jue's men. After a brief greeting, the two sides let them pass.
Outside the yard is the porridge shed. As soon as you step into the yard, you can see several makeshift stoves, all made of bricks and mud, with several large pots on top.
She hadn't seen such a big pot since she came here!
