??Chapter 448 Drought
?? A moment later, the two wolf cubs shivered in the cloth pockets in Su Ying's arms.
When passing by just now, Su Ying noticed these two wolf cubs. They should be injured and followed at the end of the pack. It is not entirely appropriate to say that they are wolf cubs, because they are not so small anymore, otherwise they would not be able to Follow the wolves out.
?? But the wolves may see that they are injured, and it looks like they are going to abandon them. Since the wolves don't want them, she can take them back. It just happens to be a gift for the two treasures.
??The two little wolves were shivering against the strong wind in Su Ying's cloth pocket hanging on his chest!
??The desert is vast, so Su Ying drove the speed to the maximum and enjoyed the excitement of racing.
?? Calculated at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour, this desert is not too big, and Su Ying will be able to go out in a short time.
?? When she felt that the distance was about the same, Su Ying slowed down her speed.
?? If she remembers correctly, she will be able to leave the desert before dawn.
?? The closer you get to the edge of the desert, the more corpses Su Ying encounters. Most of those corpses have been eaten by wild beasts and are incomplete.
She took out a water bag from her body and poured it into her hands for the two little wolves to drink. The two little wolves seemed to be able to feel the heavy evil spirit on Su Ying's body and dared not make any mistakes. They drank obediently when they saw the water. .
?? After walking forward for half an hour, she came out of the desert.
??The night near dawn is always extremely dark, and the moonlight is hidden in the clouds, and nothing can be seen on the road ahead.
??Su Ying turned on the high beams and suddenly illuminated a dead body hanging on a tree.
??Su Ying's eyebrows twitched, and she walked over there. The corpse hanging on the tree had already been air-dried and turned into a mummy.
??She continued to move forward. At daybreak, she saw the gate of Los Angeles from a distance.
??She put the things into the space and led a horse out. When she approached the city gate, she found that the city gate was already full of people.
??They all squatted outside the city gate and waited for the city gate to open.
??Su Ying walked up to an aunt who was holding a child. The aunt saw someone approaching and gave Su Ying a numb look. Seeing that she was dressed clean and leading a horse, her eyes immediately lit up.
"Well-meaning son, please do me a favor. Our grandparents and grandson haven't eaten for many days. I beg you kind-hearted son to give my grandson a bite to eat." He looks like a three-year-old, and his stomach looks bulging due to malnutrition caused by long-term hunger.
??As soon as the aunt spoke, the people sitting around immediately looked at Su Ying. Compared with them, who were dressed in rags and were thin and yellow, Su Ying stood out of place here.
??Su Ying looked at these zombie-like people, as if they would rise up and attack her at any moment.
?? "I don't have food on me, but I'm a doctor. I think your grandson doesn't feel well. Find a cooler place and I'll show him."
??Auntie thanked Su Ying gratefully.
??Su Ying looked around, and led the aunt to a place where people were carried on her back, but she was leading a horse so conspicuously, no matter where she went, there were countless pairs of eyes staring at her with unknown meanings.
??Su Ying tied the horse to the side some distance away before coming to the aunt, and took the child in her arms from her arms for him to examine.
?? "The child doesn't look well, does he have any uncomfortable symptoms?"
?? "Yes, yes, I have had a fever for the past few days. The fever flared up and then subsided, and I was still shaking, and even vomited white foam during the day. It was really frightening. My son, you must save this poor child."
??Su Ying frowned when she heard the symptoms. This symptom sounded like malaria. Malaria is really nothing to the various weird viruses that broke out in the last days, but it is almost terminally ill in this era.
??Su Ying thought for a while and said: "Your grandson's condition is not very good, and it's not so easy to treat. If the city gate is opened tomorrow morning, I will take you into the city to have a look."
??Auntie kowtowed to Su Ying when she heard what Su Ying said.
??Su Ying took out some dry food from her body and handed it to the aunt, "Eat some first, I don't have much on me."
??The aunt looked at the half pancake in Su Ying's hand, but she didn't eagerly stuff it into her mouth, but carefully put the pancake into her arms.
?? "Don't worry, I will feed your grandson after he wakes up."
?? But the aunt still didn't eat, she just shook her head and said, "I'm not hungry yet, so I can bear it any longer."
??Seeing this, Su Ying didn't try to persuade her anymore, maybe she was reluctant to eat the pancake until the last moment.
??The sky became bright in a blink of an eye, the dark clouds seemed to dissipate in an instant, and the golden light sprinkled all over the earth in an instant.
??It was dawn, but the closed city gate still had no intention of opening.
?? Now it's past the time to open the city gate, "Is this city gate always closed?" Su Ying asked the aunt.
??Auntie nodded, "Yes, I have been here for two days, and the door has not been opened for two days."
??Su Ying didn't say a word, probably the city guard closed the city gate because he was worried that the disaster victims outside the city would enter the city.
??The arrival of disaster victims into the city will indeed cause many problems, but at least the other party must take countermeasures, instead of letting the victims wait outside the city to die.
??Su Ying went to the city gate and knocked on the city gate, "Open the door, those who are on business in the capital are passing by."
??The officers and soldiers behind the city gate opened a small door on the city gate after hearing Su Ying's shout.
??An officer and soldier came out, "You called the door?"
??Su Ying nodded, "It's me, who told you not to open the city gate?"
??The officers and soldiers saw Su Ying's extraordinary temperament, and they must not be victims of the famine, so they replied: "My lord said that these victims will cause trouble when they go in, so they won't let the city gate open."
??Su Ying took out the passing gold medal from her body, "I want to bring two people into the city." She said and let the aunt sit on her horse.
??The officers and soldiers saw that one was an old lady and the other was a child, but they didn't say anything, and let Su Ying in directly.
??The disaster victims guarding outside the city all looked eagerly and wanted to follow in when they saw this, but the officers and soldiers didn't give them this opportunity at all and closed the city gate directly.
?? What surprised Su Ying was that the situation in Los Angeles was also very bad.
??She led the horse and walked on the streets of Los Angeles. The shops on the street were almost closed, and there were no pedestrians on the street. After walking around, Su Ying finally found an inn to stay.
??The store owner saw that the grandparents and grandchildren were not happy, but Su Ying could only let them in because he could afford the money.
?? "Is there anything to eat in the store?" Su Ying called the waiter and asked.
??The man said: "Only noodles, do you want it?"
?? "Yes, cook two big bowls and serve."
?? "Master, let me explain to you first, this bowl of dried noodles costs fifty copper coins, and two bowls cost one hundred copper coins."
?? When the aunt heard the price, she was so surprised that she couldn't speak. The hundred copper coins could catch up with the clerk's monthly salary.
??The guy explained: "Forgive me, young master, now there is a severe drought in Los Angeles, and there is nothing left. In a few days, even a hundred copper coins may not be able to buy a bowl of dried noodles."
?? "Is there no water in Los Angeles?"
?? "No, the well is almost dry."
