Chapter 95 - 95 95 Save the Person The Water is Rising
?Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Save the Person! The Water is Rising! Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Save the Person! The Water is Rising! Zhan Lan’s carriage procession, three vehicles strong, arrived at Xiaohe Village.
A small river flowed through the village, while the vegetable gardens by the road were planted with vegetables that did not look very robust, yet they had been almost entirely picked clean.
Before they even reached the village entrance, Zhan Lan’s carriage was surrounded by refugees.
Zhan Lan lifted the carriage curtain, revealing a gaunt face before her.

The refugees fled all the way to Ding’an City, simply seeking food to eat, but upon arrival in the imperial capital, they found that no one cared for them.

“Lady, we haven’t had a full meal in many days!”
