That night, he saw Sun Ce looking a little sad, and Sun Quan hurriedly asked him why.

"Why is brother a little unhappy?"

"I originally hoped to make great achievements, but now I feel relieved because I have nothing to do, but I still feel a little ashamed."

"Brother understands what brother means."

The two of them seemed to have a good understanding of each other. Sun Quan also felt the changes in his brother.

He used to be wary of himself, but now he is enjoying himself. Isn't this all caused by Xi Yu?

Sun Ce expressed his thoughts, hoping to talk to Lu Su and Xi Yu and give him some errands to do.

On the other side, Xi Yu and others were still on their way to Youzhou.

It was late and they found a place to camp.

As night fell, Xiyu wanted to walk around, and there happened to be a Bailongtan scenic spot nearby.

When I first entered the scenic spot, I saw many towering trees.

Then, a large river came into view. Many flowing water came into contact with the stones, making a gurgling sound.

A path with some stairs leads to the surrounding mountains.

As the sun sets, the water in Longtan glows with a soft light.

Suddenly, a discordant sound came, a burst of crying.

Xi Yu thought his ears heard it wrong, so he listened carefully again.

It is indeed a woman's cry.

This aroused my curiosity even more.

He walked towards the source of the sound and saw an old woman sitting under a ginkgo tree.

Seeing a stranger coming, the old woman was a little panicked.

Xi Yu saw that the other party was wearing coarse clothes and seemed a bit slovenly.

The old woman wanted to leave quickly.

Xi Yu asked: "Old man, what happened? Can you tell me?"

The old woman shook her head, unwilling to tell him at all.

Xi Yu didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but he just felt pity for the old lady.

"Old man, tell me, maybe I can help you."

The old woman looked at Xi Yu again, feeling that he seemed trustworthy.

There was sincerity in Xi Yu's eyes.

"Of course, if you don't say it, forget it."

The old woman laughed miserably.

"I'll just tell you."

Xi Yu sat down next to her and asked her to sit down again.

But then the old woman cried again.

Xi Yu saw that the sky was getting dark and there were cicadas chirping on the nearby trees.

The old woman wiped her tears again.

"I came to visit relatives today to see my nephew, but something happened to my nephew's family."

Xiyu asked her to continue.

She thought her nephew's family had a conflict with someone else, but unexpectedly, something tragic happened to her nephew's family.

And people eat people.

A village had no harvest and encountered a natural disaster. In order to feed the old mother, the old woman's son actually killed his own children and fed them to the mother.

Of course he would not tell his mother the truth.

But my mother still died the next day. It turned out that people had nothing to eat, not to mention the animals they raised.

A dog was so hungry that he looked for food everywhere, and finally came to the old woman's house.

At that time, the nephew and his wife went out to look for food.

The old woman was unable to restrain the chicken and was eaten by the dog in the end.

It happened early this morning.

When the old woman learned about this situation, she was very sad.

"What a crime, what a crime, how could my nephew's family encounter such a situation? God is so unfair."

Xiyu's mood was also very heavy.

He remembered a story in Twenty-Four Filial Piety.

Someone gave his child to his mother to eat because he was filial to his mother. He denounced this as not being filial but a stupid act.

But he didn't expect that he would actually encounter such a thing in the world he traveled through.

Natural disasters are one thing, but what's more important is the inaction of local officials, right?

"It would be great if my nephew's family lived in Xiapi. I have heard that because the opera master is there, the people's life is very good."

Xiyu felt relieved.

Old man, if you admire the actor, he is the one talking to you.

This incident reminded Xi Yu even more of his lofty ambitions. He must make great achievements and let the people live a good life.

"Forget it, young man, what's the use of me telling you so much? You can't solve it."

Xiyu frowned and said nothing.

The tragedy has already happened, and it is useless to say more.

Xi Yu watched the old woman leave.

Until the old woman's figure disappeared into a dot, he sighed and was no longer in the mood to play.

I feel as disgusting as eating flies.

He put his hands behind his back and left silently.

The sky was completely dark, a gust of wind blew, and many leaves rustled.

With a heavy heart, Xi Yu left.

Suddenly, he once heard the old woman crying.

With such a big thing happening, it's normal that she can't think about it.

Xi Yu planned to persuade her again.

"Why is God so cruel to me? What happened during the day was enough for me. How come this happened to me again?"

Only then did Xi Yu realize something was wrong and quickly ran ahead.

Under a willow tree, an old lady was crying to a person lying down.

Lying there was a woman, who seemed very young.

The old woman trembled when she heard the footsteps, and found that she was joking again.

"Old man, what happened again?"

The old woman's face was already full of tears.

Xi Yu looked at the woman carefully again. The woman seemed to have no color, but her eyes were moving.

Xiyu originally thought she was a dead person.

"Auntie, who is he?" the woman spoke, and her voice was as sweet as a lark.

Her title also confirms her relationship with the old woman.

The old woman then told the girl that she had just witnessed the process of Xiyu.

The girl looked at Xi Yu coldly, as if Xi Yu was her husband's enemy.

"You're just a stranger. There's no need to know so much. Besides, you can't be of much help."

The old woman sighed.

"Yuling, I know you are in a bad mood, but don't talk like that to others."

She thought Xi Yu would be angry, but Xi Yu's face was very calm.

"I am a person who is doing big things. Logically speaking, there is no need to take care of this small matter. But since I was encountered today, I also hope to take care of it, because my wish is to let the people live a good life."

This girl's name is Lucy Liu.
