In the nursing home in Dong'an County, it is gradually crowded with people, almost everyone is tired, and such a quiet small place is no longer the appearance of chickens and dogs smelling each other in the past, but instead of the groan of sickness and death. The person who died www.biquge.info was not plague or fever, but was blistered and his feet were not treated, and finally became the cause of death in the hot climate.

This kind of death seems to be a little dramatic, as if escaping the pursuit of a flood for a moment, escaping the nightmare of a house collapsing and being crushed to death, escaping the epidemic that is most likely to kill people, but dying on a small wound. Such wounds are not worth caring about in ordinary times, but now they cannot but pay attention to them, and the healer has re-prescribed some external medicines, as long as they have been wading in the flood, they must be rubbed on the feet.

A group of people lined up to receive the medicine, Zhang Zhaohua looked over, no one in the long line competed or even spoke, as if they were probably immersed in their own world, which made her suddenly imagine a situation, if she was one of them, and her home was destroyed and displaced, what kind of reaction would she have, thinking about it, she couldn't say a word all day long. The great catastrophe made one lose their thoughts, as if they had accepted the Divine plan without refusing, for when the body of the man with festering feet was carried out, the people in the courtyard only looked up, and then lowered their heads and continued in silence. When they were told that this was the way this man died, and not a disease, they believed it completely, and none of them showed the slightest doubt.

A suspicious voice interrupted her thoughts, and Zhang Zhaohua lowered her head to see that it was a round and white little girl looking at the sugar dip in her hand, revealing a longing look.

"Come, good girl," Zhang Zhaohua hugged her to his lap, this child is only three or four years old, and he has no big name yet, only a small name of Feifei, who is also from Zhigu, and escaped with his father: "Eat." ”

The early birth of the sugar dip did not make Zhang Zhaohua feel excited, but she now feels that it is very correct, because this thing can not only fill the stomach, but also store it down, when she came to Dong'an, she collected all the sugar dips in the house and took them away, and now she eats two or three pieces, and she can be full in about a day, fortunately she brought a lot.

Watching Feifei swallow the sugar dip in small sips, Zhang Zhaohua remembered that there were three or five children in the yard who were also of this age, but they were all boys, so he ordered Handong to send them a little too, and brought rice soup to feed her: "If you eat too much, your teeth will stick, so eat slowly." ”

Fei Fei raised his head and said in a milky voice: "I have no teeth." ”

"How can you be toothless," Zhang Zhaohua said: "Open your mouth and I'll count, you have fourteen millet teeth." ”

"Grandma said," Fei Fei said seriously, "If I eat one more piece of cake, I will lose a tooth, and my teeth will be gone." ”

Feifei said this, which made Zhang Zhaohua silent for a while. She knows what the situation is in Feifei's family, Feifei's father was originally in the silk business in Zhigu County, and the family is also a little rich, but he is often busy. Feifei's mother died early, and Feifei's grandmother raised her, but a flood came down, the house was washed away, the beam of the house hit the head, and her grandmother died.

Feifei has always been round and chubby, and it can be seen that her grandmother has raised her well, although she has not eaten much for three or five days on the way to escape, but she is still round and there is no trace of suffering.

"What's in your hand, let me see. Zhang Zhaohua found that her little hand seemed to be pinching something, and when she opened it, she was holding a shapeless lump of sugar that had melted in her hand: "This is going to be hidden in the quilt and eaten secretly?"

"Don't steal food," Feifei said, "bring it to Daddy." ”

"Good boy," Zhang Zhaohua said, "Adults don't eat sweets, if you give it to your father, he won't eat it." Children love to eat, but when they grow up, they don't like to eat it. ”

Feifei listened very well, obediently asked Zhang Zhaohua to take out the sugar dip, then washed the crumbs on his hands, and played with his arms. Zhang Zhaohua let her play in the house, but in fact, she didn't run and jump, just sat on the threshold with a twist and pouted to look at the sky.

Children should have more thoughts than adults, looking at the appearance of Feifei looking at the sky, Zhang Zhaohua guessed that she might wonder what the sky here is different from that of Zhigu's hometown, or reminisce about the fresh taste of the sugar dip she just ate. However, it didn't seem to be like this, Feifei's eyes revealed that she was thinking about a difficult problem for her to solve, this problem was probably only counted if she figured it out herself, and whatever others said at this time could not be listened to by her.

There should be a moment in everyone's life when they will find themselves more or less different from their previous selves, which has nothing to do with age, even if they are such a small child, they seem to have discovered this truth.

After a while, Feifei's father Liu Mingqian came over, only stood at the door and didn't come in, and when he saw Feifei, he hugged her: "Niangniang, the princess is looking for you." ”

Zhang Zhaohua lifted his spirit and said, "I know, Feifei is here with me, you don't have to worry about it." Since you are literate and literate, you still bother to help Zoli's chores, after all, you see more people day by day. ”

Liu Mingqian is also a reasonable person, and his ancestors are also officials, but the dynasty does not treat officials well, so he gave up his pen to engage in business, which makes him have the benevolence of a literati and the shrewdness of a businessman, and it is a very wise thing for him to participate in the inventory and distribution of materials.

Zhang Zhaohua went with the account books, and sure enough, as soon as the princess saw her, she asked about the supplies, and said, "There is a letter from Zhigu to ask for food." ”

"Isn't there enough food to eat," Zhang Zhaohua's heart sank, and said, "When my father went, he already brought a lot of food." ”

The grain of the official warehouse was distributed to Zhigu as soon as possible, which was not delayed, because if the government ruled under the rule of the epidemic and famine but did not open the granary for relief, it would be condemned as a major crime at this time.

"The letter said," said the princess, "The South Canal has a tendency to rise and backflow, and the North Canal is still stable, so the soldiers of the North Canal will be transferred to the Haihe River first, and the people are not as obedient as the soldiers, and His Highness means to send the people of the Canal to Dong'an." ”

"There are at least two or three thousand people," Zhang Zhaohua gasped and said: "Not only Zhigu, but when people come to Dong'an, Dong'an will immediately be short of food." ”

"Panic?" said the princess with a slight smile.

"It's really a little bit," Zhang Zhaohua scratched his head embarrassedly: "Seeing that there are only two or three hundred people now, they are so busy spanking their feet, and ten times the number of people, I don't know how to be in a hurry." ”

"The main thing is food, and when you have food in hand, you won't panic. The princess said: "There are still five or six out of ten grains in the official warehouse in Beiping, but they can't be put away, if the canal has not flooded, the grain can be transported by water, but now the canal is uncertain, and it is very dangerous, and it can be relied on in addition to the donation of Qingshou Temple is the grain of the grain merchants." There are businessmen who want to hoard Juqi, but there are few businessmen with ill intentions, and they are not afraid of profit, as long as they survive this catastrophe, they will multiply the profits tenfold, and they don't care. ”

"Mother," Zhang Zhaohua hesitated for a while, and said, "The daughter-in-law actually has one thing to decide privately, and she didn't make it clear to you, that is, this food matter." ”
