Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 43 God

Old Luo, who was driving the cart, was startled by Su Yue's shout. He wondered what was wrong with her. He turned around and saw a woman who was so thin she was practically skin and bones, clinging to the cart with one hand and holding a child who seemed to be in no condition in the other.

Even when the mule was stopped, the woman wouldn't loosen her grip on the edge of the cart; she just kept kowtowing, begging for a bite to eat.

Su Yue glanced around; the refugees catching up behind her were also running this way. If Su Yue dared to take out even a bite to eat, they would rush forward and snatch it.

Didn't you see they were still riding in mule carts? They must have had plenty of food. They were so hungry they had no strength left and couldn't keep up at all.

But the mule cart stopped, and if they were to put up a fight, they still had some strength.

"Please give me something to eat, please save my child! Please..." the woman kept kowtowing.

Su Yue sat in the cart, watching the woman risk her life for the baby in her arms. It was truly a sad sight to see the world like this.

The instant Su Yue pretended to kick the woman's hand off the cart, she used her mental power to take out a bag of sesame seed cakes and a water bag that she had bought in town from her spatial storage, and put them into the arms of the woman who was holding the child.

The woman's eyes, which had been filled with despair, cleverly concealed their despair when she felt the object in her arms. Instead, she unconsciously fell to the ground, whimpering softly. Only after the cart had gone far away did she dare to get up, look around to make sure no one was there, and then, clutching her child and the object in her arms, hide away to investigate.

When she saw the sesame seed cake and water bag in her arms, she knelt down and kowtowed three times in the direction Su Yue had left to express her gratitude. She didn't know how her benefactor had put the things in her arms, but she knew that the people on the cart had given her and her mother a life-saving meal and water.

Su Yue didn't have the same appetite as she had the previous two days. With corpses strewn everywhere along the way, she had no desire to eat.

Too many refugees have died. Every day they wake up and they're gone. What the hell is this? What kind of world have I transmigrated into? Is this an ancient version of the apocalypse?

Old Luo, who was driving the cart ahead, noticed that Su Yue wasn't as lively as before. He thought she had been frightened by the woman earlier, so he comforted her, "Little girl! Don't take what happened earlier to heart. It's not your fault. If it were me, I would have done the same. Look at the eyes of those refugees. If we dare to take out a little food, they would pounce on us and eat us alive."

Su Yue didn't say anything. She had already used her consciousness to search through the space and found that there was a lot of grain that she had obtained from the Qian family and Magistrate Zhu.

Looking at the hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain in the space, Su Yue couldn't possibly eat it all by herself. Besides, she couldn't even finish eating all the grains grown in the space, and the space also needed merit points to upgrade.

Let's distribute all the food that wasn't grown in this space to these refugees.

Su Yue quickly composed herself before speaking to Old Man Luo: "I never expected you, you old geezer, to be so good at comforting people, going from one point to another."

Old Luo was relieved to see that Su Yue had returned to her old self. He hadn't noticed how much trouble she caused before; she was still just a child.

After that, whenever a cart passed by a refugee, they would suddenly feel that their bundles or water bags were empty, and some food and water would appear.

Their eyes, which had been filled with despair and numbness, now showed expressions of surprise. They all thought that God had taken pity on them and couldn't bear to see them starve to death on this road, so He had conjured up food and water in their pockets.

Then Su Yue saw the refugees who had been given food and water kneeling down to thank God.

While using her mental power to distribute food to the passing refugees, Su Yue mentally complained.

You've knelt in the wrong place. Heaven doesn't have time to care whether you're starving or thirsty.

Seeing the changes in the space filled Su Yue with joy.

In his excitement, he wanted to talk to Old Man Luo: "Old man, with so many people dying on the road and no one taking care of them, won't there be a plague?"

"What, what plague?" Old Luo's face changed color as soon as he heard the word "plague".

Even though he was a divine physician from the Valley of Divine Physicians, he was helpless when faced with a large-scale plague.

That's a plague! Every single one of them could kill an entire city. And with so many people fleeing famine, if a plague breaks out, the whole country will be doomed.

"Old man, why are you so scared? I was just asking if there was any news of a plague. It's not worth being so frightened! You call yourself a divine doctor from the Valley of Divine Doctors!" Old Luo had his head wrapped up, so Su Yue couldn't see his pale face, but she could tell from his voice that he was terrified.

"What do you know, you little brat? The plague spreads very quickly. Alas! After a great disaster, there will always be a great plague. No one can stop it." After his initial panic, Old Man Luo began to sigh.

Su Yue couldn't be bothered with him anymore. How could this old geezer look down on people? Humph, why wouldn't she understand? She knew far more than that old geezer.

They didn't dare to rest for a whole day, and walked until dark. Su Yue was sore all over from lying on the cart, and even the mule pulling the cart was exhausted and listless. The mule's leader kept looking back at Su Yue.

If they could speak, they would have started protesting long ago. Are they even letting the mules live? A mule's life is a life too! Don't treat mules like livestock.

"Old man, let's find a place to rest. Look, even the mule is too tired to walk."

As soon as the mule heard its master call for a rest, it immediately stopped, removed the reins from its neck, gave Old Luo a few disdainful snorts, and then found a place to lie down and not move.

It was humming and groaning, as if complaining that it was working itself to death every day.

"Hey, you mule, you've become a spirit, haven't you!" Old Luo could clearly see that the mule was looking down on him.

Having no other choice, they pulled the cart to a flat area. Perhaps the people behind them had some food, so they stopped to eat before continuing their journey.

There wasn't a single living person around where they stopped, only a few corpses nearby.

These past few days, with Old Man Luo around, Su Yue has been eating hard, dry pancakes every day, and she really wants to eat meat.

Seeing that Old Man Luo was starting a fire to heat up the flatbreads again, Su Yue used a wooden box as cover and took out a piece of dried cured meat from her spatial storage.

"Eat this." Su Yue tossed the meat to Old Man Luo, asking him to cook.

Old Luo really wanted to see what was inside that wooden box; it seemed like a treasure chest with all sorts of things inside. But Mao Yatou had told him not to look.

Old Luo was overjoyed to receive the cured meat and went to work, not caring whether he could cook or not. He was finally going to have meat tonight. Luckily, he had left half a pot of wine, so he would have some snacks to go with it.

While Old Man Luo was busy, Su Yue took the wooden basin that the mule used for eating, came to the mule's side, and took out some water from her spatial storage for him to drink.

The mule didn't rush to drink; instead, it raised its head and rubbed against Su Yue's leg, as if it were being affectionate.

With no other option, Su Yue placed the wooden basin next to her under the mule's mouth, and it lay there drinking water.

Su Yue looked at the mule, rubbed its big head, and said, "You lazy mule, you need someone to put water in your mouth. You don't learn anything good, you just learn to be lazy."
