The little girl put the half-eaten cake into her arms. Her mother said that after eating, she would be hungry again for the next meal.
"Little girl, don't be afraid, eat when you are hungry, sister has a lot of food here."
Bibi Dong's eyes were full of pity and sympathy. As she spoke, she took out another cake from the soul guide: "Look, sister didn't lie to you, did she?"
"Here, take it."
"Yes, thank you sister."
The little girl nodded heavily, took out the half cake hidden in her arms again, and ate it in big mouthfuls.
Bibi Dong poured a glass of water for her.
Compared with the innocence of the little girl, the woman was different. She first dealt with a few mouthfuls, drank some water, and after feeling better, she began to tell what happened in the city these days.
"At first, the city lord and his men distributed some food, but later on, they refused to do so, saying that they didn't have enough food left, and asked us to be patient and wait for the empire's disaster relief team to arrive."
"During this period, many people froze to death at night, and those who were half dead and hanging on to their breath were all wrapped up in straw mats and burned."
"Then, about a few days ago, about a week ago... a miracle doctor came and helped us recover every day."
"But the miracle doctor's soul power is limited, and he is old and can't support the consumption."
"Every day, large groups of people still die."
"The reason we left was because the miracle doctor guided us. He said that instead of waiting here, we might as well go somewhere else to ask for something to eat."
"He pointed us in the direction and said that as long as we follow this official road, we might meet the adults who are providing disaster relief."
The woman spoke with clear logic, and she seemed like someone who had read some articles. She told the story from beginning to end in a simple and clear manner.
"Humph, it's really abominable!"
Bibi Dong snorted angrily, with flames of anger burning in her eyes.
"Why didn't I realize that these guys were such beasts?"
Gu Han said nothing, his eyes were deep, he remembered what Qian Xunji said before he set out.
Qian Xunji asked them to see the situation, and patted his shoulder meaningfully, telling him that the Spirit Hall was his strongest backing.
It seems that he had guessed it in advance, or got some news.
"Holy Son, Holy Lady, the refugees have received their own supplies, and their physical condition is currently recovering under the healing of the soul master."
Bishop Saras walked over on the soft grass.
The people of the Spirit Hall arranged this group of refugees on the open space on both sides of the official road. After the men recovered their strength, they began to build tents or look for firewood, and the women were responsible for watching and taking care of the children.
Everything was arranged very well. With food, clothes, and tents, the refugees' condition quickly improved.
The timely assistance made these refugees more grateful to the Spirit Hall, and they kept thanking the people of the Spirit Hall.
At this moment, Gu Han had no doubt that if he raised his arms and called out now, these people would instantly become his soldiers, and would do their best to follow him back to Starfall City.
However, Gu Han did not intend to do so, at least not now, because the time was not right, his own strength had not yet reached the level he was satisfied with, and he could not waste time on this.
But the nobles of Starfall City had to be liquidated.
"Bishop Saras, you continue to collect refugees here."
"Your Highness, rest assured, I will take care of this." Saras said respectfully.
"Senior sister, we will take 500 guards and 50 healing soul masters and quickly go to Starfall City."
"Without bringing supplies?" Bibi Dong stood up in confusion.
Gu Han shook his head slightly and explained, "There must be supplies in the city. We will rush over there first. Let the refugees on the road come over here. The role of the healing soul master is to help the refugees we meet along the way."
"This matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise the longer it is delayed, the more refugees will die."
"Okay, I understand. Let's go."
Bibi Dong nodded seriously. After Gu Han's explanation, she also understood what he meant.
The soul masters of the Spirit Hall acted quickly and quickly gathered 550 horses.
"Let's go."
Gu Han and Bibi Dong flew in the sky with their swords, and the golden armored guards and healing soul masters followed on fast horses below.
The speed was very fast, but the general formation was still maintained.
Along the way, they encountered many refugees. Every time they encountered a group of refugees, Gu Han would leave behind several healing soul masters and a dozen guards to lead these people to meet Saras.
Along the way, many rotten corpses could be seen. These were obviously far away from the city and had not been dealt with.
Gu Han frowned slightly, without saying much, but urged the team to speed up again.
Bibi Dong pursed her lips, and her heart became even more angry at the soul master nobles of Xingluo City.
At this time, outside Xingluo City, Ye Renxin was already very weak. Even though he was a Soul Douluo with strong soul power, he had to save tens of thousands of people, even hundreds of thousands of people every day. How terrible would it be to persist for about a week?
Not to mention Soul Douluo, even the Titled Douluo could not hold on.
"Doctor Ye, you should take a break."
Soul Emperor supported Ye Renxin, his eyes full of worry, but also with respect.
He followed Doctor Ye because he was moved by his kindness. Over the years, he was completely convinced by his selfless personality and willing to give up the wealth and glory he should have and follow him.
Ye Renxin was supported by him and sat on a flat stone. He looked at the complex eyes of expectation, hope, worry and gratitude.
He stood up again, took a deep breath, summoned the soul power in his body, and said.
"Fellow villagers, the nobles in the city will not give you food. My ability is limited. I can't save you. I can only restore your weak body, but I can show you a way to survive."
He pointed in a direction, which was the official road leaving Xingluo City.
"Follow the direction of my finger. As long as you walk along the official road, you will definitely meet the adults who come to rescue you."
A vicissitudes of life uncle among the refugees came out. He had just been rescued by Ye Renxin, so he was naturally grateful. Hearing what Ye Renxin said, he stood up and clasped his fists.
"Divine Doctor Ye, you saved our lives, and now you have shown us a way to survive. We will never forget your kindness."
"Divine Doctor Ye, please take care of yourself. We will survive on our own."
After the man said this, he led the refugees away in the direction indicated by Ye Renxin.
Although there were not 10,000 people in this group, there were at least several thousand.
Ye Renxin watched the refugees leave, and then staggered to sit down.
"Divine Doctor..."
Soul Emperor was shocked and quickly reached out to help.
Ye Renxin waved his hand: "I'm fine."
He looked at the refugees pouring in outside the city, and then looked at the towering gate of Xingluo City, feeling sad.
"Asshole, Xingluo City is only four or five days away from Benlang City and Xingyao City. It has been almost twenty days since the disaster. Why haven't you arrived yet!?"
Soul Emperor roared angrily and punched the city wall, leaving a deep fist mark on it.
The other soul kings were also indignant.
Rumble, rumble, rumble~~~
At this moment, there was a slight vibration from the ground.
"What's going on? Another earthquake?"
Everyone was shocked. Ye Renxin frowned slightly, and stood up with the help of Soul Emperor. He looked into the distance.
"No, someone is coming."
In the distance, the refugees who had not yet gone far stopped and made way. A large group of cavalry were galloping towards Xingluo City.
In front of the cavalry were two figures flying swords.
The guards on the city wall also saw this scene.
"Are they here to rescue?"
"It doesn't look like it. They don't have any supplies."
Just as the guards were puzzled, the two figures flying swords suddenly accelerated and came to the sky above the city gate.
"Open the door, we are here to provide disaster relief on the orders of the Pope of the Spirit Hall."
