CHAPTER 1157: 1235: WEI CITY

In the eyes of the disaster-stricken people, there is a living Buddha. This person has outstanding medical skills, saving countless lives, and all of Divine Doctor’s husbands are exemplary figures.

There is someone with white hair who has brought winter quilts and coal for everyone.

There is someone crisp and ethereal, able to fly along eaves and walk on walls, who has shattered mountains and stones, saving many citizens buried alive under rubble during disaster relief.

There is someone who seems reckless and wanton but commands a caravan and escort agency to deliver food supplies.

Some people are stern, some are quick-tempered, but all are diligently working hard.

Wei City, located within Qingfeng Prefecture, suffers more severe damage compared to those villages scattered in the wilderness, due to its proximity to the epicenter.

"Let us in, let us in!!"

Under the calamity, the people rioted, with city officials shutting themselves indoors, and wealthy merchants clinging tightly to their grain and treasures, leaving ordinary citizens to suffer.

Zhi Chen and Shujun are running around gathering relief supplies, while Dong Huiying, along with Shu Yu and Haoming, arrives at Wei City. They also bring two horse-drawn carriages, but before entering the city, they find the gates locked, with many disaster victims left outside.

The situation inside the city is unknown, but it is already bleak outside, with noise and clamor, victims huddled together, and occasionally hungry people gnawing on tree bark, eating roots, or even children out of desperation stuffing dirt into their mouths.

Upon seeing this, Yue Ning can’t help but recall the past. He too had once been like these children, driven by hunger to eat dirt.

He jumped off the carriage, sprinted towards the dirt-eating child, "You can’t eat this!"

The child stared at him blankly, then fiercely pounced over and bit his arm – it hurt! He pried the child’s mouth open, "Eating this will make you sick."

Then, he pulled out a dry bun from his bosom, and the child hesitated for a moment before their eyes turned red.

"Look, he has food!"

"And there are two carriages!"

Some victims, seeing the dried bun Liang Yuening took out, had a ravenous look in their eyes. Others, seeing the carriages, rushed over en masse.

Liang Yuening paused for a moment, realizing that in desperation, people would do anything. They had been providing disaster relief in scattered villages, helping many but had never encountered something like this.

At this time, half a month had passed since the earthquake occurred.

A few strong women rushed over, frantically trying to grab the bun from the child’s hand. Liang Yuening, angered, was about to get into a fight with them when suddenly, there was a loud boom.

On the carriage, a plainly dressed woman saw something was wrong, descended from the carriage, spotted a large rock nearby, lifted it with both arms, and tossed the hundred-pound stone into the air, crashing heavily to the ground with a thud.

"If you want food, listen up! We brought grain, fruits, medicines, and clothing with blankets! Line up, no pushing, come one by one! Those who can cook, come to me and help!"

Dong Huiying’s display of strength shocked everyone, but there were a few headstrong individuals who were not convinced, thinking of robbing when they had the numbers. However, with a clang, Lao Si Haoming emotionlessly drew a long knife. Seeing this, Dong Huiying knew that Lao Si would exercise restraint and did not stop him.

Shu Yu slowly climbed down from the carriage and, seeing the chaos, furrowed his brows. Suddenly, someone sneaked up from behind the carriage, clutching a small knife, intending to stab Dong Huiying and steal the carriage.
