Destiny is ashes

Chapter 227: Understanding the Frost Disaster (43)

No matter how much he trusted Huo Qing, it was impossible for An Jing to disappear in the back room with You Ruhui and Aunt Huai.

Even if the other party didn't expect that they could open up the Taixu channel, it would not be good to scare Huo Qing into illness.

Therefore, An Jing chose to take advantage of the night and lead the two people to the uninhabited area of ​​​​Fuchenyuan.

"Although this world seems to have been severely damaged by the demons, it gives me a very relaxing feeling."

On the way, You Ruhui looked at the recycling hut that gradually disappeared into the darkness with some reluctance: "Even in the palace, I have never felt so relaxed."

Noticing An Jing's strange gaze, she quickly explained: "What I mean is... it feels like a lot of causal lines have been cut off, a feeling of... freedom?"

"It's like catkins floating in the wind." Aunt Huai added a very vivid description that made You Ruhui nod repeatedly: "Once the roots are broken, the catkins will float away. Although we don't know where they will fall, the time they float in the wind is naturally relaxing and happy."

"That's great." The old lady said with emotion: "But fallen leaves always return to their roots. No matter how long you wander in this strange world, you will eventually have to go back."

"After all, you have come to another world."

As a fugitive himself, An Jing nodded slightly. He could understand this mentality very well and also liked the feeling of freedom in the Tianyuan Realm.

Even though he seemed to have gradually built up some foundation in the Tianyuan Realm, in fact, except for Huo Qing and Nianquan, he could abandon everything else at any time.

This feeling of being able to turn around at any time without being bound by cause and effect is relaxing for people who have been on the run for a long time.

Aunt Huai's situation was even simpler. She had been locked in a small house and a street for decades by fate and earth veins, but now when she stepped out, she was in a completely new world. No wonder she was so emotional.

"Actually, there is one more thing."

You Ruhui raised her head and looked at the night view of Xuanye City not far away. Even the princess who had seen the Divine Capital showed emotion at this moment: "Although this world is in ruins and seems to be a bit barbaric, but generally speaking, I have never seen anyone who is hungry."

"On the way to escape in Dachen, I saw too many people who were displaced by the frost disaster, hungry and cold... In order to survive, they even transformed into beasts."

"In this world, even those homeless people we saw on the road only had no houses and poor food. They even had magical tools in their hands, so they were far from starving to death."

——That’s true. The corruption of the feudal empire and the corruption of the cyber world are definitely not the same.

An Jing commented in his heart, and shook his head, "The only place you see is the 'safe zone'... In the wilderness outside the safe zone, there are still many people who are in danger of losing their lives."

You Ruhui sighed and said, "At least it's not a governance issue."

This is indeed true.

After thinking about it carefully, An Jing discovered that although the Tianyuan Realm was rotten, it was only rotten in that the group did not treat people as human beings.

Although the people in Xuanye City and the safe zone have a low quality of life and have to engage in gang fights from time to time, and may die on the streets at any time, but generally speaking, it is just a "low quality of life" and they are not completely unable to survive or have enough food to eat.

In this respect, Tianyuan Realm is still superior to Huaixu.

"In this case, we need to figure out what is going on with agriculture in the Tianyuan Realm."

An Jing thought about it and found that he had never seen farmland or pastures, but there was never a shortage of meat and food: "Could it be that they use this blessed land for agriculture? No matter how luxurious it is, it can't be like this..."

With such doubts, An Jing and others came to an uninhabited forest in the floating dust plain. "This is it."

An Jing said, he summoned the hilt of the Fuxie sword and opened up a Taixu passage.

The three returned to Huaixu Realm.

Several days have passed, and the frost disaster has not stopped yet, and has even reached its peak. Now there is only a vast expanse of white between heaven and earth, and a hint of darkness at the end of the distant sky.

"Huh? Jingxuan? Aunt Huai? Where have you been these days?"

The place An Jing chose to land was the street outside Youdeyuan.

He knocked on the door of Youdeyuan again, surprising the clerk who opened the door: "Two days ago (when the people of Youdeyuan discovered it) when you suddenly disappeared, everyone thought something had happened and looked for you for a long time."

"I went to find my compatriots and got some things to treat Aunt Huai's injury."

An Jing didn't explain much, and the other party would figure it out on his own. He threw a string of copper coins to him and said, "The tea shop is under martial law, so I can only come here after thinking about it."

"No problem, no problem, please come in!"

What's there to think about when you have money to take? The waiter immediately opened the door to welcome the guests, and Manager Li also rushed over immediately. As soon as he arrived, he sighed: "Hey, Master Xuan, you should at least tell us when you left last time."

"Auntie, you are really something. It's better to leave a note. It's snowing heavily outside, and it's not easy to go out to look for you. If you didn't trust Master Xuan and Auntie, you wouldn't joke with your life..."

He kept on talking, but he didn't doubt too much.

There was a riot in the city that day and the pharmacies were closed. If An Jing wanted to find medicine for Aunt Huai, he would definitely have to use his connections.

Now, although Aunt Huai is still very weak, she can at least wake up and talk. It must be that Master Jing found a good medicine himself.

After some pleasantries, Aunt Huai was helped by several waiters to a private room. You Ruhui used his earth escape ability to watch over her, while An Jing stayed where he was, looking around the entire Youde Garden, and said in surprise: "Wow, it's snowing heavily these days, but your business is booming!"

Today, almost every seat in Youdeyuan is occupied and every room is fully booked. There are not so many people even during festivals. It is really unbelievable.

"Hey, there's nothing we can do. Aren't these all your compatriots, Young Master Xuan?"

At this point, Manager Li showed a helpless expression and motioned An Jing to take a closer look: "A few days ago, Chenli suffered a demonic disaster, and many wealthy people brought their families to seek refuge with us."

"The frost disaster is approaching, and the tribe over there has lost a lot of people. We can't protect so many people. We can't just watch them die, right? We selected a group of them and put them in the city, but there are not so many places to live in the city."

"The rich can come to our place for a meal and book a private room, just as if it were an inn. Many people can only live in shacks beside the river, and I don't know how many will freeze to death..."

When Manager Li said this, he sighed sincerely - in business, harmony brings wealth, and even among ordinary people, who would want a group of good people to freeze to death like this?
But after being attacked by the devil and suffering from frost, there was really nothing that could be done.

"You are not afraid."

An Jing looked carefully and found that at least 70% of the people in Youdeyuan were his fellow villagers. He also sighed: "I never thought that such a big thing would happen after my trip..."

"I don't know what my hometown is like."
