Chapter 24 Disorder in the slums

When the ugly guy heard the news that the fifth brother was already unknown in the palace, the fifth brother was just sent back to the Meditation Hall. He was sleeping soundly, but the fifth brother didn't know that his wife was encouraged by the wives in other rooms to find the ugly guy.

The ugly baby just returned home and before he had time to wash up, he was scared by his sister-in-law who broke in.

When he heard what his strange sister-in-law said, he laughed and cried again. This beautiful woman who likes to touch people's hearts with tears.

The Tears looked at the prince who was laughing with his belly, and reflected on the fact that what he had seen was very miserable and miserable things. How could he make him laugh?

Tears are of particular importance. Tears are like pearls, and beads overflow from their eyes, and then slide down to the corners of their mouths along their white and tender faces, gather at the corners of their mouths, stay for a while, and drip from the corners of their mouths. The fifth brother likes to watch them very much, but the ugly baby doesn't understand this beauty, and is more focused on getting the hard-earned news.

He was busy in the crop planning park for several days.

According to Li Mei's intention, he found a few water spots, kept digging down, digging out a few wells, and then made the water intake rack made by the carpenters. It was the first time he did it, and he actually gained a lot. He accepted the worship of farmers and workers here, and had no rest. He also brought people to build granaries, drying yards, noodles and grinding yards, and even built chicken farms and pig farms. In the farming fields, he planned to raise fish and lotus flowers. All of this was under great pressure and completed the task as scheduled.

When he came back this time, he was reported to Li Mei, otherwise he would be dealt with by military law. Just thinking about this made him feel very angry.

The fifth brother was not as leisurely as he thought. He had some eloquent people around him to relieve his boredom while supervising his work. Even if he went out occasionally, there was still time.

The fifth brother recovered and called someone expressionlessly to drag the woman who rushed in and delayed his court time out.

Change your clothes, organize all the documents, confirm that Li Mei will have nothing to say, get on the carriage and head straight to the palace.

Li Mei was very satisfied with what he did and even proposed to go for an on-site inspection.

The ugly baby is not afraid of her coming up with this idea, and she is waiting for this. The people there are also very satisfied with the result of education. Those people not only cherish the work they have obtained, but also want to change themselves and be unique.

What made Chouwa very dissatisfied was that Li Mei actually walked with him, but she still didn't walk on the main road and chose small roads. The places she passed by were official work areas, official living areas, wealthy areas, downtowns, and private houses.

After many years, the ugly baby still remembers that he followed Li Mei on a simple wooden bridge with firm steps. He wiped the sweat from his face with his hands, hoping that Li Mei would walk slowly. Although he was a middle-aged man, he had to admit that Li Mei had better physical strength than him.

Li Mei wore an elegant white dress that day. In order to prevent acquaintances from seeing that they were wearing a black gauze hat like a man, the hat was tilted like a pretentious gangster, which looked very silly.

Although Li Mei walked very fast, her steps were light and she could not see any heavyness. She stopped in the middle of the bridge, watched around for a long time, and seemed to be waiting for him. The ugly baby accelerated his pace and rushed over. He found that Li Mei didn't seem to realize how many roads they had walked.

The ugly baby felt so thirsty that he was trotting all the way.

"Look, it's very interesting to see from this." Li Mei said, "What do you think, an ugly baby?"

Below them, one on the left and the other on the right, there are two rows of crooked grass houses. Crowded between the two rows of crooked grass houses is a dense and messy pile of hay. Some are still some rotten branches picked up from some unknown places and piled up in a mess. Some are black smoke there, as if black smoke is coming out of the rag pile. Some are temporarily built with wooden boards, which seems to be a relatively wealthy family.

"Today, this place can still be seen as a poor area, perhaps much worse than it was in the past. When standing on the bridge from a tourist's perspective, you will think that this is a war of destruction, and there are wastelands everywhere. If you have to observe carefully, you will definitely see that there are still many small figures busy moving around the houses, like ants running around the mounds."

"Ugly baby, look at it again," said Li Mei, "Is this still the capital of Chu? There are more and more places like this. If it is not managed, I can't say that it will be worse than this in a few years. This is a slum, where the poor are gathering more and more here. Only here can they find the dignity of being a human being. Ugly baby, they have to travel back and forth between the rich and the rich in the area for life. Do you think their hearts are still so quiet? Will it not change? They have to go far away and stay away from civilization, and what kind of mood will the people who join here live? Ugly baby?"

"Why do they suffer? They just didn't give birth to a good birth and didn't have a good life to let them live in this world? If that's what, who likes to live such a life? They will ask, I don't like this life, why do I have to give birth to me? What do you think, an ugly baby?"

"It's really scary," said the ugly baby. "So what should I do for them?"

"It's quite terrible. You have to do a lot of things, but wait a little longer, right... yes, it's time to implement it so that the upright people living in this world can live happily." Li Mei raised her fist and waved it. The ugly baby looked so enthusiastic.

Li Mei looked at him with a smile, making the ugly baby feel that she felt so arrogant when she looked at him. This feeling made him feel awkward and stupid.

"Why are you stunned?" Li Mei said, and she turned around and looked under the bridge again.

"Everyone is saying that you are a bastard," said the ugly baby.

Li Mei was not surprised, but followed the words of the ugly baby: "This is a kind-hearted view. Everyone will say such words. In all classes in life, they spread everywhere in disorder like this place. Ugly baby, you take a deep breath, and even if you stand here from afar, you can smell the stench of sewage."

"I noticed it too, but did this really float from there?" asked the ugly baby.

Li Mei did not answer, but continued to look at the slums in front with a strange smile on her face. Then she said, "The ministers and merchants in the court rarely see such places. Even if they see, they stand far away like us. I doubt how many ministers who do practical things for the country and the people will walk from the front. Speaking of this, I don't believe that they really want to change everything here."

The Chou Wa heard the stimulating element in Li Mei's tone, and said, "If it weren't for rushing to the road, I wouldn't object to going to the place we were going before sunset." The Chou Wa also judged that Li Mei was right, and that stench was indeed emitted by sewage from that community.

Li Mei smiled and walked through the narrow alleys. As she walked through, the smell became stronger and stronger, and finally reached a disgusting level. There seemed to be no wind here, and the only movement in the surrounding air was the buzzing flies. The ugly baby found that he would rather struggle to rush the road and wanted to catch up with Li Mei's pace, but this time he didn't want Li Mei to slow down.

On both sides of their passing, there were similar stalls that had been closed in the market. In fact, in the houses of every household, sometimes only a curtain was used to separate the alley from the alley. Some old man sat in front of the door. When they passed by, they opened their dirty eyes wide and stared at them with interest but indulgentness. Children were running around everywhere, and there seemed to be something running at their feet.

Li Mei led her forward and avoided the clothes drying on the dry branches. She heard hiding behind the curtains and watching their whispers.

Flies buzzed and hovered above their heads, clearly feeling that the road ahead was getting narrower and narrower. Finally, they came to a place like a yard, where a simple thatched hut blocked the road ahead.

Li Mei pointed to a gap between the two thatched huts and could see an open wasteland from there.

"We'll walk through there," said Li Mei, "and maybe we'll get there after another walk."
