Back then, when Cheng Yu ordered the Immortal Bone Warriors to attack those cities, they did not harm the people in the cities.
But now that they had withdrawn, the other dynasties were at war with each other. Naturally, they couldn't care less.
Currently, more than half of the foreign dynasties were involved in this unprecedented war. Countless people were affected by this war.
Although the goal of these foreign dynasties was not the common people, how could the strength of the foreign armies compare to the Immortal Bone Warriors?
Therefore, this kind of war was based on the number of people. Especially when attacking a city, it was inevitable that there would be accidental injuries.
In the end, for the sake of safety, countless people chose to leave the city and head to a place without war.
Among them, the Cheng family's sphere of influence became one of the destinations for these people to avoid the war.
Facing the countless people who had fled here, all of the Cheng family's spheres of influence, including the cities that had been annexed by the Cheng family in the early days, had set up a large number of disaster relief points outside the city.
After all, with so many refugees here, they didn't even have a way to investigate their identities.
If so many refugees were to rush into the city, it would definitely affect the lives of the people in the city, and even their safety.
Therefore, it was most suitable for them to build a temporary disaster relief point in the city.
At least it could temporarily give them a place to stay.
In addition, there was no war in the Cheng family's sphere of influence. As long as the people in the Cheng family's sphere of influence did not harm them, no one would be able to harm them.
Therefore, the temporary disaster relief point built for them was safe enough.
Moreover, the Cheng family would distribute food to these refugees at a fixed time every day, so it did not cause too much trouble for the Cheng family.
However, when Cheng Yu went to the disaster relief point outside the small city, he couldn't help but feel guilty and helpless when he saw these homeless people.
If it wasn't for him wanting to destroy the dynasty and deliberately setting up the foreign dynasties to annex each other, these people wouldn't have ended up in this state.
Therefore, it could be said that he was the one who started this disaster.
However, although he felt guilty towards these refugees, he did not regret doing so.
Those who achieved great things did not care about trifles.
There were some things that he had to do. Although this might hurt many people, he still had to do it without hesitation.
"Let's temporarily guarantee the livelihood of these people. Once we have investigated their identities, we will slowly let them into the city and let them find a job. This will guarantee that they will be able to survive here," Cheng Yu looked at the refugees as he told Zhou Heng, the city lord of Yungui City.
"Don't worry, Family Lord, we will prepare food and daily necessities for them on time." City Lord Zhou nodded.
He didn't know how this disaster came about, and he didn't know what the patriarch was thinking.
Therefore, he only felt that the Patriarch was too kind. He even cared for these refugees who had escaped from god knows where, which was really admirable.
However, being in a high position, even if he didn't know the truth, he couldn't help but feel compassion when he saw so many suffering victims.
Moreover, the Cheng Family was rich in resources and did not lack these resources at all. Even if they were to temporarily support them, it would not be a problem.
"I beg you, save my child, save my child!" Just when Cheng Yu was about to leave, a woman's sorrowful voice entered Cheng Yu's ears.
"What's going on?" Cheng Yu frowned.
"It seems to be in the disaster relief site" Zhou Heng said after listening to the voice.
There were many tents set up at the disaster relief site. Each tent was a temporary house, and they were only at the periphery of the disaster relief site.
Cheng Yu led Zhou Heng and the others into the disaster relief site. They saw a lot of refugees surrounding an open space.
The sorrowful woman's voice came from the crowd.
"Make way!" Zhou Heng and the others pushed aside the onlookers and saw a woman dressed in dirty and tattered clothes. She was carrying a two or three-year-old girl in her arms. The child's eyes were closed, and she looked like a sleeping child. There was nothing strange about her.
Beside the mother and daughter was a steamed bun, a broken bowl, and a puddle of water.
"I beg you, save my child" The woman cried as she begged the onlookers.
"Don't worry, someone has already gone to find a doctor. Someone will come to save your child soon."
"What's going on?" Zhou Heng asked.
"So it's City Lord Zhou. City Lord Zhou, this woman just escaped here. We saw that she was pitiful, so we gave her some food and water. However, the child just drank a mouthful of water and suddenly fainted. She didn't even breathe. No matter how we tried to wake her up, she didn't wake up. I don't know what's going on." When a refugee saw that the person who came was the City Lord of Yungui City, he immediately explained.
As the City Lord of Yungui City, Zhou Heng had been dealing with the refugees outside the city for the past few days. Therefore, it wasn't strange for these refugees to recognize him.
On the contrary, when these refugees saw Zhou Heng, their hearts were especially happy and filled with gratitude.
Although they couldn't enter the city right now, City Lord Zhou had built a temporary shelter for them. Every day, he would prepare food and water for them for three meals a day, so that they wouldn't have to wander around. Naturally, everyone was grateful to him.
"City Lord Zhou, you are an immortal. Please save her child" Someone quickly begged.
Zhou Heng was an immortal cultivator and the City Lord of such a big city. In the eyes of these mortals, he was naturally an immortal.
Compared to the doctors they went to find, City Lord Zhou was clearly much more reliable.
"Miss, let me see your child!" City Lord Zhou came to the woman and squatted down. Seeing that the woman wasn't very old, he looked at the child and said.
"City Lord Zhou, you must save my child. As long as you can save my child, I will do anything to repay you!" When the woman heard that he was the City Lord of such a big city, she was extremely emotional. She immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhou Heng.
"Miss, please get up first. Let me see the child first!" Zhou Heng helped the woman up and carefully examined the child in her arms. Soon, he frowned.
"City Lord Zhou, how is it? Can my child be saved? "Seeing City Lord Zhou's frown, the woman's heart skipped a beat. She asked anxiously.
"This child seems to be poisoned. However, the poison seems a little strange. Let me try first." Although Zhou Heng couldn't feel the child's breathing and pulse, with his experience and examination, he could confirm that the child was indeed poisoned.
It was just that this was the first time he had seen such a strange poison. He placed his hand on the child's wrist and slowly inserted his spiritual qi into it. However, there was no reaction.
"City Lord Zhou, how is it? What poison is my child suffering from? Can you cure it? "When the woman saw Zhou Heng retracted his hand, she asked impatiently again.
"Wait for a moment!" Zhou Heng turned around and pushed the crowd aside. He quickly walked in front of a young man. His appearance was extremely respectful, causing people to be puzzled.
Zhou Heng was the City Lord of Noble Cloud City. How could such a noble person be so reserved and respectful in front of a young man?
"That young man's status is actually higher than City Lord Zhou? Who could it be? "Everyone muttered curiously.
"Everyone, please make way!" Zhou Heng opened up a path for Cheng Yu.
Although they didn't know who Cheng Yu was, it was impossible for them to not give City Lord Zhou face. Moreover, even a big shot like City Lord Zhou had to be respectful in front of him. How could they dare to neglect him?
"Young lady, let me see your child!" Cheng Yu and Zhou Heng arrived in front of the woman and said.
The woman looked at City Lord Zhou with tears in her eyes. Her eyes were filled with hesitation. Even someone like City Lord Zhou couldn't save her child. How could a person who was younger than City Lord Zhou save her child?
However, when she saw City Lord Zhou nodding at her, she could only nod back at Cheng Yu.
However, at this moment, her heart was already filled with grief. Just now, she heard what the surrounding people said. This City Lord Zhou was an immortal, but City Lord Zhou couldn't save her child. She felt that her sky was about to collapse.
Even if it was Cheng Yu who came, she didn't have much hope.
"Did she come into contact with anything special these days?" Cheng Yu also gave the child a checkup. However, compared to Zhou Heng, his expression was much calmer.
"We escaped from the war all the way here. The child has always been by my side. She didn't come into contact with anything special!" The woman replied.
"What did you give her to eat?" Cheng Yu continued to ask.
"If we meet a kind person along the way, he will give us some food. Usually, we rely on picking wild fruits from the mountain to satisfy our hunger."
"Did you give her any wild fruits in the past few days?"
"These few days... I found a red fruit on that mountain yesterday and gave it to her to eat. Young Master, do you mean that fruit is poisonous?" The woman carefully recalled and suddenly woke up and asked anxiously.
"Can you tell me the details of that red fruit? For example, the size and shape of the fruit, as well as the characteristics of the fruit tree and leaves and so on! "Cheng Yu asked.
"This... I didn't look at it carefully at the time. I only remember that the fruit was only the size of half of my child's fist. At that time, we had been hungry for three days, so I gave the whole fruit to her to eat. Could it be that I harmed her?
If I had known earlier, I would have eaten that fruit. I would rather be the one to die than my child The woman felt heartache and regret when she thought of the situation at that time.
How could she know that such a bright red fruit was poisonous?
In addition, the fruit wasn't big to begin with. She couldn't bear to eat it herself, so she gave it all to her child. In the end, she didn't expect that it would harm her instead.
As a mother, there was nothing more sad than this.
