Chapter 41
The small village was a poor place after all, so it was a place like this that was suitable for the two of them to visit privately incognito.
After Xiao Tan finished some things in Prince Jing's Mansion, he quietly left the city and ran directly in the direction of Chu Xia and Jing Yuan.
Because they were afraid that Xiao Tan would not be able to find them when they got here, Chu Xia and Jing Yuan stopped in front of the village, waiting for Xiao Tan to catch up.
Fortunately, Xiao Tan did not keep Chu Xia and Jing Yuan waiting. After all, Jing Yuan is the prince and he is the guard. Although Jing Yuan is not usually very majestic as a prince, in Xiao Tan's heart, the prince is the prince. How could this be possible?
Why keep the prince waiting?
Xiaotan used her skills along the way and headed towards Xiaotan and Chu Xia very quickly.
After meeting Chu Xia and Xiao Tan in front of the village, Xiao Tan and the others went to the inn.
The village is still very large and spread out, and the houses are located in a very complex area. If someone who is unfamiliar with it comes here, they will definitely get lost.
In fact, this place is not considered a village. It is just because it is too poor that it looks particularly low-level. The buildings are not very good. The houses are generally made of wood, and some are made of grass.
"Here, really..." Chu Xia was stunned after seeing the thatched cottage.
She thought that the place where she lived was already very bad, small, and there was nothing in the house. But now, when she came here, she could say without exaggeration that if she moved here, her house would definitely be...
It's a very wealthy house, and it's also the largest.
Chu Xia's eyes looked at this area. The clothes of people here are basically very dirty, but the dirty clothes are not bad. There are also many clothes that have been patched many times, and some of them are not patched and the clothes made are not enough.
However, there are some people who are even worse than them. Their clothes are leaking in many places, and some people have no clothes to wear. Chu Xia was so shocked that she couldn't bear to look at them anymore, "
It’s so poor here.”
Xiao Tan also didn't expect that when they decided to come here, they also found out that it was very poor, but they also didn't expect that it would be so poor.
Before they came here, they deliberately found some tattered clothes, but even if they put on tattered clothes, they could still be considered good clothes, regardless of the people here.
After all, their clothes are not dirty or torn.
The three people walked into the inn, and the waiter at the inn immediately responded, nodding and bowing to the three people.
Because, in this place, I am afraid that just by looking at their clothes, they are the richest.
Jing Yuan ignored the waiter, while Chu Xia looked at the waiter and just smiled in a friendly manner. The only person talking to the waiter was Xiao Tan.
Xiaotan glanced at the patch on the waiter's body and said to the waiter: "I want three guest rooms."
The waiter immediately laughed when he heard Xiao Tan said that he wanted three guest rooms. He quickly told the three of them their room numbers, and then took the three of them up.
But Xiao Tan refused. Xiao Tan glanced at Jing Yuan and asked, "Do you want to eat?"
Jing Yuan was not hungry. He turned back to look at Chu Xia, "Are you hungry?"
Chu Xia nodded. She was indeed a little hungry. She had eaten less when she set off.
Seeing that Chu Xia was hungry, Jing Yuan said to Xiao Tan, "Eat."
The waiter heard Jing Yuan's answer and knew in his heart that Jing Yuan was the one who made the decision. Just as he was about to get the menu, he heard Xiao Tan say: "Just cook a few of the best dishes in your inn."
When the waiter heard this, he became even happier. The best dish meant the highest price. He could earn more money, so he was naturally happy.
The waiter went there in a hurry, feeling happy that three rich people finally came to the inn today.
Because their place is not rich, and there are only two inns, there is only two, so the competition is fierce. Meeting rich people makes you happier than meeting your own parents.
The waiter received the three people very warmly. Although there were not many people eating in the inn, there were still some. However, the waiter gave priority to cooking the dishes for the three of them, and even said that when serving the dishes
"Please use it with caution."
Jing Yuan and Chu Xia looked at each other before starting to eat.
The place is poor, and the food is not as good as the food in rich places. Although this is the best dish in the inn, it does not taste very good. It is hard to imagine what ordinary people eat.
While Chu Xia was eating, she suddenly found it difficult to swallow.
The reason is not because the food is not delicious. When she lived in the Chu Mansion, because she was not treated well by others, she often ate cold dishes and sour dishes. She found it difficult to swallow. The main reason was that she was in the Chu Mansion.
Thinking about what the poor people inside are eating.
Chu Xia was silent.
Suddenly, she began to feel sorry for them in her heart. Chu Xia really wanted to change the world and didn't want anyone to have enough to eat.
Jing Yuan noticed Chu Xia's mood. He glanced at Chu Xia and then continued eating. After eating, the three of them went upstairs, but instead of going back to their respective rooms, they went to Jing Yuan's room.
"Tomorrow we will go and experience the life of the people here." Jing Yuan said to the two of them.
Chu Xia nodded.
At first, she chose to come here just to help Jing Yuan, but after arriving here, Chu Xia suddenly discovered that she slowly began to care about these people, wanted to understand their lives, and
Help them improve their lives.
Therefore, she is particularly looking forward to tomorrow, so that she can feel what the people's life is like.
"I think our current clothes are too good. Let's make some patches." Chu Xia suggested.
After Jing Yuan thought about it for a while, he nodded in agreement. He didn't say anything, but he told Chu Xia with his actions that he supported Chu Xia.
Jing Yuan stretched out his hand and tore off a big gash on his clothes, which were not very good.
Chu Xia didn't expect that Jing Yuan would support her so much. She was so moved that she also tore a hole in her body.
Xiao Tan saw that both Chu Xia and Jing Yuan were tearing holes in their clothes, so he followed their example and tore holes in his own clothes.
However, after tearing the hole, the three of them discovered that they did not have the needle and thread to mend it. So, Chu Xia and Jing Yuan looked at Xiao Tan and said to him: "Go and buy needle and thread."
Xiao Tan just had to obey Jing Yuan's instructions and go buy needlework.
After they came back, it was Chu Xia who sewed patches for them.
Because Chu Xia is the only woman here, Xiaotan and Jingyuan definitely don't know how to mend clothes, because they are men, how can they do those women's things.
But Chu Xia didn't know how to mend clothes. She looked at Jing Yuan and Xiao Tan. Neither of them wanted to mend clothes, so she had to do this.
Chu Xia sighed, and then began to pick up the clothes, patches, needle and thread, and sewed the patches.
It's just that Chu Xia has never been able to do this kind of thing. Her sewing was particularly ugly. The threads were sometimes thick and sometimes thin, and some places were sewn twice because they were not sewn.
After Xiao Tan and Jing Yuan saw the patch sewn by Chu Xia, they both expressed their shock. They did not expect that Chu Xia, a woman, would be such a bad worker.
However, it is much better than the two grown men sewing clothes.
Just wear it as it is.
Later, Chu Xia saw Jing Yuan and Xiao Tan put on their clothes with disgust.
Chu Xia: "..." It's already good if she can sew it up, okay?
The next day, Chu Xia and the others left the inn wearing patched clothes. When they walked to the first floor, the waiter looked at the three of them and his jaw dropped in shock.
After the three of them bought some food, they walked towards the disaster area.
Most of the people living here are victims of the disaster, living a hard life, and some of them have no food to eat. They plan to go and see them.
When they walked to the disaster area, they saw the naked victims lying on the ground, slumped on the ground without any strength, most of them had their eyes closed, as if they were waiting for death to come.
Chu Xia looked at them and felt very sad.
"Why is it so miserable?" Chu Xia muttered softly.
After Jing Yuan and Xiao Tan took a look at each other, they began to distribute food. When the victims heard that food was going to be distributed to them, they all swarmed over. Even some who had no strength climbed up in front of the two people and received the food.
.
There are many victims here, but the food purchased by two people is not much, and each person is only given some, not a lot.
Chu Xia walked up to them and asked one of them: "Hello, I came from out of town, can you tell me what the situation is like here?"
The man saw that Chu Xia was working with the people who distributed food, so he told Chu Xia everything without reservation.
Chu Xia listened to Ren Zhen and remembered almost everything in her mind.
This is not a place that the government can touch. There are no officials here, only landlords.
Landlords have always been the most ruthless and ruthless when it comes to expropriation. To these people, they are simply like a vampire that sucks blood without end.
Under the pressure of the landlords, their lives are miserable. Their income is far less than their expenditure. They work hard all day long, but they can't support themselves at all. They can only eat one meal a day, which is too much.
Chu Xia was shocked as she listened to what he said. She had never imagined that the people here lived in such hardship.
However, the landlords are still exploiting their lives.
Chu Xia felt angry and wanted to beat the landlord to vent her anger.
Just when Chu Xia was feeling resentful, the landlord unexpectedly appeared here.
The landlord was very fat. Just from his figure, you could tell that he had plundered a lot of things from the people. There were many bodyguards surrounding the landlord to protect his integrity.
