Chapter 199
In fact, Liu Yi Muyu had already seen Gu Xi Chaozhang Xing, and the two of them definitely didn't want to be put in small shoes afterwards, so as soon as the two of them looked at each other, they immediately made a decision, one continued to fool Liu Li and walked away, and the other stood not far away.
Standing not far away, Liu Yi, who had very keen ears, listened to the words of the two of them a lot, and then saw Sun Baozhu, so he came out and appeared.
Liu Yi saw Gu Xichao's face clearly, and remembered that he had just heard a little bit, and his cousin was afraid to avoid it, what else did he not understand?
Something happened, and their master was hit.
Liu Yi gave Mu Yu a look, signaling him to continue to fool Liu Lizheng, while he thought about how to enlighten Gu Xichao.
One is his master, the other is his aunt and cousin, and it is absolutely impossible to say that there is no grass at the end of the world, after all, their master's mind has never been open. is his aunt's cousin, which is just implicitly saying that she doesn't like to enter the Huaiyang Palace, she just wants to find a farmer and live a poor and comfortable life.
If he broke open their master's heart, he would definitely die an ugly death.
Even if everyone knows the master's thoughts, but if the master doesn't say it, the people below can't say it.
I can't say anything to belittle his aunt and cousin, it's my own family.
Okay, let's talk about something else, turn your mind elsewhere, maybe it won't be so uncomfortable.
But Liu Yidong talked about Sila for a long time, and he didn't see Gu Xichao's expression move slightly. Still sitting in despair, motionless.
Liu Yi couldn't help it, and whispered beside Gu Xichao: "Master, my cousin has suffered from a lot of water in the past. In the thirtieth year of Yuanping. The Huai River was executed three times. Her father didn't have it this year. Her sister-in-law was sold by her mother for five taels of silver, and later came to the eldest lady. This time it was a big flood, and she must have felt uncomfortable in her heart, so what she said today may not be ...... Master ......" Liu Yi said this, and found that Gu Xichao's soul had returned to his place and was looking at him blankly.
"When Yuanping was thirty years old, did she ever go to Huaiyang?" Gu Xichao suddenly asked when he saw Liu Yi and stopped talking.
Liu Yi nodded. They have inquired about the affairs of the Zhang family, don't they also know about this matter?
Gu Xichao's face turned a little pale, "...... She was outside Huaiyang City at that time...... "Not far from him, Xu Ye also took a photo, when he took people out of the city, there was misery outside Huaiyang City, and she turned out to be one of them."
"Master?"
Gu Xichao suddenly stood up and left, Liu Yi was confused and hurriedly followed.
In the porridge shed, several large pots of porridge have been distributed. Zhang Xing sat on the stool and pounded her shoulders, and saw that Aunt Fu was not in the gap. Said to Sun Baozhu: "Can you go and see if a few people who came to our house last night are still outside?"
Sun Baozhu quickly came back and shook his head. Zhang Xing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's go, let's go back." "Uncle Fu and Liu Dahu and other shopkeepers of the grain relief have other money and grain accounts to calculate, so there is no need for her to wait.
The two returned home and did not go out in the afternoon. When eating dinner, Uncle Fu asked Wei Minwen: "Min Wen, since Gu Shizi has come to our town, you can choose a time to invite him to Juyuan Building to sit down, and the last thing was also due to him." ”
Wei Minwen didn't raise his head, "Hmm, Gu Shizi has already left." ”
His words made everyone stop, and Aunt Fu said in surprise: "Are you leaving? I saw them this morning, why did you leave?"
Zhang Xing knew in her heart, and estimated that her words had played a role.
Wei Minwen's expression was obviously much more relaxed, "I left before noon, and next time I meet, I'll invite him again." ”
For Gu Shizi, who came to eat a bowl of noodles in the middle of the night and left like this, no one in the Fu family could figure out the reason except for Zhang Xing. But this person is an uninvited guest, and everyone is easy to leave.
Unexpectedly, this ease didn't last long, and two days later, that is, the third day after Gu Shizi left, the entire Zhanghe Town exploded. Gu Shizi went and returned, not only that, but also brought several truckloads of food and medicinal materials. About evening, a carriage came in through the city gate, accompanied by more than twenty guards.
The whole town of Zhanghe was boiling.
With food, people who are in danger of the future will have hope, and with medicinal materials, they will have a guarantee against the epidemic. In these days surrounded by heavy waters, Zhanghe Town has become an isolated island, and the relief of the imperial court is like a moon hanging in the sky, which is out of reach. The flood of refugees was like a flood, and the place they passed was desolate, and the city gate of Zhanghe Town did not dare to open, not only for fear that the large number of people and chaos would cause trouble, but also for fear that the epidemic with the breath of death would take advantage of the void to come in.
Originally, the number of people in the town of more than 1,000 people had skyrocketed, and foreign aid could not come, so they only relied on the money and grain of a few large families in the city for disaster relief. After these days, there are no more grains of rice left in the porridge shed, and I heard that the big households in the town were discussing the matter of money and grain the day before yesterday, and they were all complaining, and several families could not come up with anything.
As for medicinal herbs, several pharmacies in the town have long since closed.
Now it's good, the food is coming, the medicinal materials are also coming, the water is slowly receding, and they finally survived the catastrophe in the 36th year of Yuanping.
When the carriage entered the city, Zhang Xing and the others were busy with the finishing touches of the porridge shed that day, and when they heard Liu Sanjin's shouting, the people in the shed ran out, even Sun Baozhu, who had always been calm. Zhang Xing was alone in the shed, listening to the various voices of the people outside rising and falling like a tide, and her eyes were a little astringent.
Then I went out, and the carriage was slowly coming, and the sky was dyed red by the sunset, reflecting the figures of the carriage and horses, like the scenery in the painting. Behind the porridge shed is the patrol compound, which has long been cleared out and used to place the grain taken out by the big families in the town. It's just that it's empty now.
Mu Yu is the team leader, it is best to do something to provoke flowers and grass on weekdays, and the original very romantic has become a dignified and righteous appearance in people's gratitude calls, and he does not squint at the little ladies and girls around him. Gu Xichao Liu Yi was behind the convoy, and Liu Li was by their side, and his old face was really happy.
However, Zhang Xing was careful and found that there was something wrong with the guards in the car, and his face was far less brilliant than the momentum emanating from them. Everyone was staring at the grain wagon, and very few were looking at it. She looked at Mu Yu again and found that there was an extra blood mark on this kid's face, but it was not deep, and this guy brushed a few hairs down to cover it, and it was really not clear if she didn't look carefully. When she got closer, she noticed that the dark spots on the Tsing Yi of the immediate escort were clearly blood stains. When Liu Yi jumped off the horse, his legs and stomach trembled violently, and he was not as sharp as before when he walked.
As for Gu Xichao, apart from looking darker and thinner, and tired, he couldn't see anything on the surface.
At present, the Jianghuai area can come up with so many food and medicinal materials in a hurry, and only a few surplus counties such as Huaiyang, Jin'an, and Yu County are too far away, and Yu County is equivalent to Gu Xichao's second nest. These carts of things, Zhang Xing didn't need to think much to know that they were pulled from Yuxian.
At this time, the food and medicinal materials are more important than gold, no matter how rich Yuxian is, these things are still the most important, and they are equivalent to snatching food from the mouths of the homeless people in Yuxian. The journey from Yuxian to Zhanghe Town usually takes more than half a day, and at this time, hungry homeless people are no different from wolves. They were driving several cartloads of food and medicinal herbs to swagger over, how could there be no accidents on the way? Even if there were guards with swords and guns, they couldn't stop the desire to survive.
The guards dismounted one after another, and the traces of strong support between actions were even more obvious, and Liu Lizheng was still talking to Gu Xichao's side. Zhang Xing saw that Xiao Desheng was also watching the excitement in the crowd, and hurriedly asked Sun Baozhu to call him and asked, "Where is the uncle?"
Xiao Desheng pointed to the patrol compound and said, "The uncle is in the compound, and the uncle is also there." ”
Zhang Xing whispered: "You tell the uncle, Liu Ye's leg is injured, I am afraid I can't stand for a long time, I need to find a Lang Zhong to take a look." And he told him to be quick.
Xiao Desheng ran into the patrol compound with a smoke, Wei Minwen and Fu came out, and Wei Minwen followed Xiao Desheng's point and saw Zhang Xing. Zhang Xing nodded.
Wei Minwen turned his head to look at Liu Yi again, his eyes were sharp, and he looked at some of the people brought by Gu Xichao, and said to Uncle Fu in a low voice: "Uncle, there is something wrong with Master Mu and Master Liu, and they can't be allowed to stand outside all the time. ”
Uncle Fu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Liu Yi Muyu carefully.
Wei Minwen whispered again: "I'm afraid they won't be very peaceful along the way......
Uncle Fu quickly understood, and hurriedly walked to Liu Lizheng, interrupted and said: "Lord Lizheng, these are our great benefactors in Zhanghe Town, they have come from a long journey, I will be a boss today, invite a few people to have a light meal at home, I don't know if it will work?"
Liu Lizheng came back from his excitement at this time, and he saw that Gu Shizi and the people around him really looked extremely tired, he was really negligent. So he hurriedly said: "Shopkeeper Fu should be another day, my house is not far from here, so let's go to my side first." ”
Gu Xichao said: "Liu Lizheng, I am also familiar with the shopkeeper Fu, and I will talk to his family today." He pointed to the guards next to him, "As for these people, it's troublesome for Liu Lizheng." ”
Liu Lizheng was stunned, he always thought that only he and a few henchmen knew Gu Xichao's true identity in the entire Zhanghe Town, and he didn't expect that the shopkeeper of the Fu family's rice shop also knew about it. And looking at Gu Xichao's appearance, he has a lot to do with the Fu family's rice shop. This Fu Yousheng is really an old fox, he doesn't say anything on weekdays, but his family background is not thin, and he actually has such a big umbrella on his head. Fortunately, although I usually don't like him, I don't offend him.
Gu Xichao spoke, but Liu Lizheng didn't dare to say no, so he had to say: "Don't bother, don't bother, it should, it should." ”
Wei Minwen saw that Uncle Fu actually wanted to go to Fu's house, and he was anxious, but he couldn't interject or say anything.
Uncle Fu was completely stunned by Gu Xichao's righteous act, completely unaware that he was luring the wolf into the room, and whispered to Wei Minwen: "Min Wen, you go and invite You Langzhong in the east of the city to come home." (To be continued......)
