Chapter Seventy-One: What Came Later
Miao Fuzun threw down the horse commander and Master Wang, and went to the residents of Jinshui Town with his escort. His choice was the same as that of Commander Ma, who first went to visit and comfort the rich people in Jinshui Town. After that, he went to the real refugees and preached some morale-boosting words.
"I came as soon as I knew the news, and my life was at stake, and I was as sad as everyone else. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we will do our best to save people, and even if there is one person in Jinshui Town, we will save it to the end. "Miao Fuzun was born in a professional class, studied hard for 20 years in the cold window, and was trained by the Wang family, so the official articles are naturally at your fingertips:"However, the deceased relatives have passed away no matter what." For us at the moment, the most important thing is to survive this disaster strongly, educate our children well, and arrange our lives well. There are your relatives all over the country, let's get through this together. β
Before the words fell, in front of Miao Fuzun, he was already crying, and tears were pouring down. This scene fell in Miao Fuzun's eyes, and he also felt very sad, but sad is sad, he still has to say what he should say, and he still has to do what he should do.
"The situation in Jinshui Town is unknown, and I, in my capacity as the prefect of Pingjiang Prefecture, ask you to be stationed here. Dry firewood, food, and winter clothing needed for the overnight stay were all paid for by the state warehouse. β
There is no doubt that all of the above words are 100% correct, and naturally no one will oppose them. In this way, under the strong command of Miao Fuzun, the administrative machinery of Pingjiang Mansion roared and ran at high speed, providing everything necessary for the victims as much as possible.
Soon after, the disciples of the Pillow Flow Book Club rushed to Loumen en masse. To the surprise of the Miao prefect, the person who attracted the most attention from him didn't seem to come with him.
"Where's Teacher Song?"
The teacher Song mentioned by Miao Zhifu is the president of the Pillow Flow Book Society, Song Rui, a great Confucian in Jiangnan. He has been in the realm of supernatural powers for a long time, and he is undoubtedly the number one master in Pingjiang Mansion. And because Master Song has the status of a disciple of the seventy-two virtuous descendants, when the Miao prefect is with him, he will be suppressed by the four layers of Taoism, seniority, fame and combat effectiveness.
Under such circumstances, if Teacher Song forcibly wanted to go to Jinshui Town to save people, then the Miao Governor would not be able to stop him. However, Mr. Song has no interest in politics at all, and even if he really finds something, as long as he doesn't hurt nature, most of them will pretend not to know. Therefore, Miao Zhifu was panicked, but he was not worried that Teacher Song would have a particularly big impact on his plan.
But in any case, pinning my hopes on Mr. Song to open one eye and close one eye is not as good as Mr. Song not coming at all. And then Meng Zhuo's answer can be said to have reassured Miao Fuzun.
"The teacher was invited a few days ago to go back to the altar to catch up with old friends."
After Meng Zhuo was in a coma, he stepped forward as soon as possible to heal his injuries, and then he spent a lot of energy to take care of Wen Siqi's injuries. This is also why, as the eldest disciple of the Pillow Flow Book Society, he did not come to meet with the Miao Prefect for the first time to clarify the specific situation here.
Now that Meng Zhuo had finally taken some time to spare, he returned to his own sect's ranks. He collected some medicine for his injuries and instructed his disciples to treat Zhou Zheng's injuries. As the elder brother of the Pillow Flow Book Society, he led the disciples of the Pillow Flow Book Society to prepare to assist Miao Fuzun's disaster relief operation.
"Senior Brother Meng, in Jinshui Town, almost all the surviving people have gathered in Loumen. I sent someone to count it, and it was about 5,000 or more. In my personal opinion, given the limited manpower, it is imperative to provide protection to refugees in this area. If they make any mistakes, it will be truly a golden water town. β
Rao is Miao Fuzun, under the recommendation of the Wang family, has also worshiped famous teachers. But because Teacher Song's seniority is too high, even Meng Zhuo's seniority is also terrifyingly high. On the whole, Miao Fuzun and Meng Zhuo are peers.
"Senior Brother Miao, I brought my own people from the club to Jinshui, isn't it enough for you to have troops here?"
"Senior Brother Meng, the garrisons under my command were farmers a few months ago, do you think you can count on them?"
"It's better to divide our protΓ©gΓ© in two."
"No, if something happens, how do you tell me to explain to Teacher Song?"
When Meng Zhuo heard this, he didn't feel a little discouraged. After all, he is still young, enthusiastic, and always wants to do everything perfectly. If he thinks so, he will definitely lead people back to Jinshui Town, kill all the undead, and then treat all the wounded.
But Miao Fuzun's words are not wrong, the garrison is indeed not very reliable, and if the troops are divided...... Meng Zhuo had been busy healing Zhou Zheng and them before, and he didn't have time to inquire about the situation in Jinshui Town. Therefore, although he arrived early, he didn't know as much as Miao Fuzun, who arrived late. He didn't know that the strongest undead in Jinshui Town had already withdrawn, and he thought that there were still monsters of Asura's level there. If you think about it this way, let alone divide the troops, even if the whole company goes, it may not be able to win.
When the thought turned here, Meng Zhuo's heart cooled down, and he responded: "Okay, then I will lead my junior brothers and sisters to guard Loumen." People are in the city, and they will never flinch. β
Miao Fuzun nodded and replied very seriously: "My generation is like this. β
It is said magnificently, but until the sun rises, there is no longer half of the undead and ghosts outside Loumen. The people who worked hard all night, including but not limited to Meng Zhuo, Han Da, Boss Fan, and Brother Xiaoma...... In short, almost all of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw the bright red sun rising over the horizon.
With the pain of life and death, with the fear of running around, they couldn't sleep peacefully for a whole night. It wasn't until the red sun rose that their nerves finally relaxed a little, and one by one they hugged and leaned on each other with their loved ones, collapsed beside the fire, and fell into a deep sleep.
And in the next two days, the plans of Miao Prefect and Master Wang were carried out in an orderly manner-
In the name of security, the Miao prefect detained the refugees near Loumen. But at the same time, because of his strong management and tough attitude, there was not even the slightest shortage of supplies such as food, winter clothing, and firewood. Only medicine is a problem, and it cannot be solved by administrative force.
It's not that the doctors in Pingjiang Mansion don't have love, it's just that there are too many wounded in Jinshui Town. Moreover, due to the limitations of the times, aside from military doctors, most doctors are proficient in internal medicine and neglect surgery. Especially in a city like Pingjiang Province, where do you need so many doctors who can take care of serious injuries? Not to mention the dead spirits, which have a corrosive effect on the wound, objectively increasing the difficulty of treatment.
However, Miao Zhifu didn't care much about this matter, because as far as his observation was concerned, there were not a few seriously injured among the refugees, and even if these people died, it didn't matter the overall situation. And most people's injuries will not die in a short time. If you don't want to die, what is it? Especially compared to what the Miao prefect has to do, a little scar on the refugee's body is completely not worth mentioning.
What really has an impact on the Miao Governor's Mansion is because of the absence of Teacher Song, and his side lacks a lot of combat power. However, this is only to postpone the action of the Miao prefect from the daytime on the first day of the new year to the daytime on the second day of the new year. Because he easily transferred a few good hands from the Kunshan Wang's family, and successfully swept away the undead in Jinshui Town - the undead who stayed in Jinshui Town were not strong in the first place, and every time they experienced a sunrise, they would also weaken. Except for the heirs left by the powerhouses of the underworld, who reluctantly caused some trouble to the masters of the Wang family, the rest of the local chickens and dogs were wiped out in the conversation and laughter of the Miao Governor's Mansion.
After that, the Miao prefect naturally restored the freedom of the refugees and let them go back to Jinshui Town.
The rich among them went home, and one by one they were furious. For though they had taken away the gold and silver with them before they retreated. But when Commander Ma took the fake scene, the garrisons who had no trouble with the undead, in the spirit of "no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat", still washed the rich area of Jinshui Town.
The real refugees, the residents of the central and farther north of Goldwater, were largely silent when they returned to their homes. They were like bottles filled with bitter water, so heavy, but no matter how they swayed, they would not make a sound. Because the greatest grief is always silent.

With his own bravery, Zhou Zheng won the title of Jinshui Hero in the civilian area of Jinshui Town. There are even a small number of families who have begun to plan to build an ancestral hall for them.
However, the residents of the wealthy area have no special feelings about this. Because from their point of view, it was the horse commander who led them to evacuate. As for Zhou Zheng, he was just a martial artist who fought with monsters outside Loumen. And they care about one thing very much, that is, why the appearance and tricks of that monster are exactly the same as Zhou Zheng. Some people have already made suggestions to Miao Fuzun, hoping that Miao Fuzun will thoroughly investigate the matter, otherwise they will not be able to sleep well.
From this point of view, the residents of the wealthy area should be happy. If it weren't for the fact that when Zhou Zheng incarnated into the Great Black Sky, he released some Styx Mist, which affected their five senses, they might have been directly scared to death.

Many bureaucrats in Pingjiang Prefecture, under the leadership of Miao Zhifu and Master Wang, compiled a very wonderful memora to tell the fantasy story that happened in Jinshui Town.
The protagonist of the story is the commander of the horse, who fought bravely, was seriously wounded, and saved thousands of people.
The supporting role of the story is the garrison of Pingjiang Prefecture, who fought bloodily and almost wiped out, and they are worthy of being the people's soldiers.
The supporting role in the supporting role of the story is a folk figure with an unknown surname, who is quite martial arts, brave in the face of righteousness, and has made his contribution.
As for Miao Fuzun...... He didn't appear in the recital at all, after all, as long as the commander of the horse was promoted, then he would naturally be rewarded as the top peak. And if something goes wrong...... You can pick yourself clean without a name.

Li Fenghuang, a non-famous philanthropist, after the tragedy in Jinshui Town, together with Pingjiang Prefecture Doctor Shi, launched the largest charity relief in her life. In the process, she spent almost all of her savings, including but not limited to the charity budget of "10,000 taels a year" that she had left for herself.
Through this high-profile charity act, Li Fenghuang successfully raised his reputation from "hated by everyone" to "discredited". Of course, the word mixed reputation is not very accurate, to be exact, there are still many people who scold her. After all, as a woman, chastity is nothing to worry about.
But in any case, Li Fenghuang enjoyed it for the first time, and when he was ridiculed, someone spoke up for himself and maintained his feelings. As a result, for the first time, she burst into tears in the crowd, and was accused of "pretending".
In addition, in the process of relieving refugees, Li Fenghuang kept hearing the word "Zhou Zheng" mentioned by others. and finally linked the name of this hero to the young man who was killed by her...... The appearance after the fusion of the two is probably the appearance of the man who appeared in her house on Chinese New Year's Eve.
"Sister Phoenix, you are as good-looking as a fairy, as kind as a bodhisattva, only a man like Brother Zhou Zheng is worthy of you." A group of little children who don't know anything love to revolve around Li Fenghuang every day, and repeatedly talk about Zhou Zheng's heroic deeds: "Zhou Zheng's big brother's knife, if you wave it upward, the sky will crack, and if you wave it downward, the ground will open ......"
"Haha, you're talking nonsense again, are you going to be a fiction writer in the future?"
"I don't want it, I'm so tired!"
"Good, that's smart."
Every time at such a time, Li Fenghuang will irrepressibly think of Zhou Zhenglai, and think of the story between himself and him, like the plot of a novel. From the stupidity of the first sight, to the brutality of the outburst, and then to the Chinese New Year's Eve night, his calm and warm-hearted......
"In just one month, he became a respected hero. So Li Fenghuang, what have you been doing over the years? β

"No, you're not qualified!"
"No, we're qualified!"
"You want to exchange my natal golden feather for the false peace of the human race?"
"Prince, it's not that we want to go against you, but this time you've gone too far."
"No, I don't accept it!"
"Alright, now it's up to the Demon Court to vote. Prince, because the vote is your own business, it stands to reason that you have to recuse yourself. So...... Ten to one, do you do it yourself, or do you do it yourself? β
β¦β¦
"I'm not going to stop there...... I won't, this time I'm losing, that's why you can ...... If I win...... You, you're all going to die! β

Wen Siqi, who was seriously injured, had regained her sanity under the careful care of Imperial Doctor Shi. It's just because of her body that her spirit is still very poor, and she often sleeps for an hour to wake up for half an hour.
This time she drank the medicine and fell into a deep sleep again. When she woke up, she was about to stretch a little, but suddenly noticed something strange. She looked left and right to make sure there was no one else, and then she took her left hand out of the bed. She stretched out her clenched fists, and in the palm of her hand there were three symbols depicted in special materials. These three symbols shone in the light of the room, and then returned to nothingness, as if they had never existed.
Wen Siqi looked at his empty palm and stayed there until the voice of Imperial Physician Shi came from the side: "What, woke up?" β
"Maybe it's time to wake up."
