Zhao Shun accompanied his master to blow the cold wind at the bow of the boat. Over there, Zhang Xing has returned to the bilge. After she met Zhao Deyi this time, she never went on deck since.

However, Zhao Deyi kept her in mind, after this day, the food sent by Liu Laicai was much more exquisite, and sometimes you could see minced meat, which was very rare at this time. Liu Laicai even praised Boss Zhao to the sky.

The boat had a smooth journey, and after another five days, it arrived at Quantang Town.

In the past, when Zhang Shuisheng was ferrying at the wharf of Quantang Town, Zhang Xinglai delivered meals a few times, and he was quite familiar with Quantang Town. After the boat docked at the wharf of Quantang Town, Zhang Xing got off the boat, originally wanting to go back to Lizhuang Village alone, but Liu Laicai had to give her another ride.

Zhao Deyi also said that she was just a girl, how could she go home alone? I should send it. He also stuffed a large bag of things to Liu Laicai, telling him to send people home, he himself still had things to do in Quantang Town, and he would not leave for a while, and the boat would wait until Liu Laicai returned, and then go to Yu'an.

Zhang Xing took Liu Laicai to Lizhuang Village, what he saw on the road was also a desolation, the traces left by the flood could be seen everywhere, the New Year was approaching, there were only a few people on the avenue, and most of them were ragged clothes, full of vegetables, beggars with children and daughters.

After the flood receded in August, although the imperial court sent relief grain, where was there enough grain for these stones? The water receded too slowly, and the families who had been affected by the disaster had almost nothing left, and it was too late to rush to plant crops.

Zhang Xing became more and more heartfelt, and rushed to Lizhuang Village at noon, and saw an even more shocking tragic scene. In the past, the noisy village of 100 households was quiet and terrible, and there were as many as half of the empty houses in the village that were uninhabited, and the ruins and broken walls could be seen everywhere.

When the people in the village saw Zhang Xing and Liu Laicai entering the village, they all turned their heads to look, and when they recognized Zhang Xinglai, they all pointed out and spoke.

"Isn't this the eldest daughter of the Zhang family?"

"It seems to be her, hey, didn't you say that his eldest daughter was a traitor? How did you get back? Hey, who's the guy next to her? ”

"I haven't seen it."

Zhang Xing didn't have the heart to listen to this, but hurried to her house, Zhang's family lives at the end of the village, when she arrived home, she saw that the walls of her house were all down, broken farm tools, tables, chairs, bricks and tiles were scattered all over the ground, where was there anyone to live?

Zhang Xing was stunned.

Liu Laicai glanced at her and said cautiously: "Apricot girl, this is your home?" "Where else can this be called home? The walls have all fallen down, broken like this, and at a glance, you can see that no one has lived in the road for a long time.

Zhang Xing still couldn't believe what she was seeing, she obviously heard Wang Bingyi say that Zhang Shuisheng and Zhang Tao would go home in August, no matter how slow they were, they should have arrived home.

But what about people? Where did the people go?

Zhang Xing walked to the edge of the remnant wall, looking at it as she walked. Everywhere you see on the walls of the ground are traces of gray silt leaving traces of drying. The wall that fell down was the side of her room, and she saw that the cabinet in her room was moldy, one foot was shorter, and it was leaning against the wall, and the wooden bed was only a frame, and there were piles of bricks, tiles, mud, weeds, etc., and the quilt had long been moldy and smelly, and there were only a few twine hanging from the door curtain.

The cold wind blew, and the wooden cabinet with short legs thumped into it.

Zhang Xing stood on the edge of the remnant wall for a moment, and then turned to the front. The door of her house was gone, and she went straight in, and a musty smell of gray came to her face, and nothing in it was complete, and the spider silk was all over the place.

Liu Laicai thought about what to say in his heart. The little girl in front of her is so pitiful, she came home all the way, but she pounced on nothing, and the people in the family didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and they really didn't know how the child would live in the future.

Zhang Xing came out of the house, and there happened to be a person looking at the door, seeing her, and said: "It's the apricot girl, I just called you, but you didn't respond, I thought I recognized the wrong person." ”

Zhang Xing looked at this person and quickly remembered who he was - Li Dahe from the same village, he rescued him when he fell into the water. She nodded and said, "Uncle Li, did you call me?" I didn't hear it. ”

Li Dahe smiled, "You guys are walking too fast, I didn't stop you." He turned his head to look at Liu Laicai again.

Zhang Xing hurriedly said: "Uncle Li, do you know where my father and mother have gone?" ”

Li Dahe sighed and said, "Girl, your father is gone." ”

Zhang Xing was like five thunderbolts, a little overwhelmed for a while, and asked, "Let's go...... Let's go? Where did it go? ”

Liu Laicai was also stunned, and turned his head to look at Zhang Xing.

"Girl, let's go, go to my uncle's house and sit down, and my uncle will tell you carefully." Li Dahe turned his head to look at Liu Laicai again, and nodded, "This one is with you, right?" Let's go, let's go to our house to drink saliva, our house is not far away. ”

Liu Laicai hesitated, the person had already been delivered, and it was supposed that he should go back. But the little girl's father was gone, and the family had collapsed, and he didn't know whether he should go or not.

Although Zhang Xing's face was a little pale, she couldn't stand it. Liu Laicai knew that his family was like that, tired and tired all year round, and he only had one food and clothing, and his mother-in-law was a little broken-mouthed, and she couldn't tolerate anyone. It is possible to help deliver people, but he can't get it if he helps more.

If you can't help, let's go. Besides, Boss Zhao is still waiting to sail.

Liu Laicai nodded and smiled at Li Dahe, and said, "Thank you brother for your kindness, I really have something to do, so I won't nag about it." As he spoke, he handed the burden on his body to Zhang Xing, "Xing'er, uncle still has something to do, uncle will leave first." ”

Zhang Xing took the burden, and suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times.

Liu Laicai didn't hold the person, he suffered these few rings, and his heart became more and more uncomfortable, after thinking about it, he took out a cloth bag from his arms, stuffed it into Zhang Xing's hand, and said: "Girl, uncle really can't help you, you can take these money, ah." ”

How can Zhang Xing ask for his money again? Push alive and dead to let it go.

After the two of them pushed for a while, Liu Laicai's face sank and said, "Don't you look down on your uncle for money?" Disgusted to give less? ”

"How so?" Zhang Xing hurriedly said. She not only took a ride on the boat along the way, but also ate and drank for nothing and was taken care of by others. Although Liu Laicai doesn't talk about his family's situation, she can also imagine how good the family situation can be if she is out on a boat during the Chinese New Year? The money from this bag may be the income of his trip. How could she take this hard-earned money?

"If it's not, then you can take it!" Liu Laicai forced the cloth bag into Zhang Xing's hand.

Li Dahe watched from the side, and then also interjected: "Girl, since your uncle said so, don't push it." ”

Zhang Xing looked at the two of them, Liu Laicai looked like you don't accept it or dislike it, and Li Dahe also nodded at her. Zhang Xing had to accept it. Seeing this, Liu Laicai waved his hand and turned to leave.

Zhang Xing followed Li Dahe to his house. Li Dahe's mother-in-law, Li Youshi, brought a bowl of hot water, but Zhang Xing didn't have the heart to drink it.

Li Dahe and Li Youshi looked at each other a few times.

This persuasion should be handed over to his mother-in-law, Li Dahe shook his head and went out. Li Youshi stroked Zhang Xing's hand, sighed, and said, "Xing'er, your father is buried on the ridge on the other side of the river......

Zhang Xingyuan thought that she would not cry anymore, but as soon as Li Youshi opened her mouth, the tears in her eyes couldn't stop.
