Chapter 338: Inquire about the news

Chenxi is kind-hearted, and she only feels uncomfortable when she sees this scene.

The three brothers and sisters were all wearing hats and holding umbrellas, and they were all soaked in thin clothes, and many of them were younger children, trembling and unenergetic in their mother's arms. Most of the women washed their faces with tears.

Brother Qi'er had an idea in his heart, and knew that the strength of the three of them alone was not enough, so he comforted his sister and said, "Let's find my father and mother first and discuss how to settle these homeless people." ”

The three siblings had no opinion, and came to the opposite street, when a carriage rushed towards them, and the sound of horses' hooves was particularly harsh in this quiet street.

Brother Qi'er and Brother Ming'er hurriedly escorted Chenxi to the side, only to see seven or eight men on horseback pulling the reins in front of Brother Qi'er, and the horses stopped neighing.

The two brothers became more vigilant and silently took a few steps back. These horses are carrying some things on their backs, they are dressed in grassland clothes, with a big hat on their heads, and a chain made of colorful agate stones hanging on their chests, which is the dress of the herdsmen on the grassland.

These people didn't care about Brother Qi'er and the others, turned over and dismounted and carried the things on the horse's back, and walked behind Brother Qi'er with their feet. Among them was a teenager younger than them, who stepped on a stirrup and came down on his own.

Behind Brother Qi'er is a teahouse.

When the little boy passed by Brother Qi'er, he looked at them curiously, and as the person in front of him turned around and shouted something in dialect, he didn't delay and hurried to follow.

Brother Qi'er and Brother Ming'er understood the herdsmen's dialect, and after they entered, Brother Ming'er whispered: "Are they a horse gang?" ”

Brother Qi'er nodded: "It looks like a horse gang on the grassland, but their goods are too small." ”

"Horse gang?" Dawn asked, looking at their backs a little curiously.

"It's a team of horses used to carry goods." Brother Qi'er explained, his mind moved, they came from the grassland, maybe they could find out something.

He said to Brother Ming'er: "Let's go in and take a look?" Maybe you can get some news. ”

Brother Ming'er had this intention, Chenxi followed the two brothers and didn't make trouble, but when he entered the door, he glanced back at the homeless people, touched the silver in his pocket and calculated how many buns he could buy.

Brother Qi'er didn't understand his sister's thoughts, he touched Chenxi's head, lowered his voice and said: "Just sending food can't solve the problem, my father and mother will deal with it, and I'll look for them later." ”

Dawn retracted her gaze and nodded unhappily.

The teahouse not only drinks tea and listens to books, but also has rooms upstairs where you can stay, similar to an inn.

The weather has been cold these days, and only one-third of the guests in the entire teahouse are seated, and most of them are still in a hurry to stop and rest. The second brother saw Brother Qi'er and the others and immediately stepped forward to greet him.

Brother Qi'er swept around, walked to the steppe men and sat down not far from them, everyone in this group of horse gangs had sabers on them. It is a long knife for chopping and stabbing, with a slightly curved blade and a length of about one meter. They didn't put their knives down when they sat down.

It looks terrifying, and the teahouse receives all kinds of guests every day, and the second brother said to this group of horse gangs in a familiar tone: "How many masters, is it still the same as before?" ”

"The same, bring him a bowl of Yangchun noodles." The leader pointed to the young man beside him.

The little second brother said he understood, glanced at the young man and said good words: "I haven't seen him for a month, and the little boy has grown a lot taller." ”

Obviously, Xiao Er knew them.

Brother Qi'er handed over the task of ordering food to Brother Ming'er and Chenxi, he was not interested in these, but just stretched out his ears to listen to these grassland people. They spoke to Xiao Er in the Central Plains. Chenxi and Brother Ming'er ordered a snack alone, and the dishes outside didn't smell as fragrant as their mother's cooking.

The young man sitting next to the caravan looked back at Brother Qi'er and them as if he was aware of it, and in order not to attract the attention of his family, he looked twice and turned back.

Brother Qi'er thought that this young man had found out about them eavesdropping, and was secretly relieved.

The faces of this group of people were not good, and after sitting down, they couldn't help but start complaining in their native dialect.

"This heavy rain has lost so much of our cargo, really! Nima, how are we going to explain to our mother? ”

The man sitting next to the young man should be Nima in the mouth of the man just now, and he said very steadily: "Let's go back and compensate them first, the flood outside is so serious, I hope our family is okay." ”

"Reparations? Nima, this is a natural disaster, and it would be too much for us to compensate. We almost didn't come back, and a few of our brothers were behind! The other man said in a thick voice, not very loudly.

Brother Qi'er can still hear clearly.

"It is our responsibility not to protect the goods, and what to do depends on the employer." Nima glanced at the brothers, and the majesty came with it.

This Nima can be the leader, and he should be quite prestigious in this group, and after he accentuated his tone, no one mentioned the matter of refusing to compensate.

After a moment of silence, the young man who had not spoken spoke spoke up, and his voice was very crisp, "Daddy, those flooded villages are affected by disasters because they are in low-lying areas, and our home will be fine as far as the eye can see." There is also a canyon on the road ahead, and I don't know if there is a possibility of a collapse. ”

Immediately after he finished speaking, someone echoed him, and the person who echoed seemed to recall some scene, and said with some fear: "Nima, what Nahan said makes sense, anyway, the goods have been lost and cannot be saved, so it is better for us to pay attention to safety." You see, all the displaced people have fled to this city for refuge. ”

At this time, Xiao'er came up with several large plates of beef, but did not take wine. After he served the dishes, he asked, "How many masters are going to stay in a small shop for the night?" ”

Nima looked up at the shopkeeper, "Why are you asking like this, I've seen us stay overnight in the past." ”

"The masters have just returned from the west gate, and the east gate that they must pass through to return to the grassland is occupied by displaced people. I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of the east gate at this time. "The second little brother of the shop is very well-informed, and you can know a lot of news by listening to the customers who come and go in the store.

Nima's eyes widened, as if he didn't expect this situation, and then his thick two eyebrows moved, and he glanced at the brothers and said, "The big room, the cheaper one, come to three." ”

"Oh, okay!" The shopkeeper smiled and shook the towel on his shoulder and ran to the shopkeeper and said.

Hearing Nima say to stay overnight, the expressions of the other men eased a lot, and they all had tired looks on their faces.

Brother Qi'er listened to their words word for word, and so did Brother Ming'er. I found out that the horse team came back from outside, not from the grassland, and naturally I didn't inquire about the grassland affairs.

Coincidentally, the things they ordered were also delivered to the table at this time.

Chenxi glanced at the two elder brothers, picked up a pastry and put it in his mouth and tasted it, only tasted a small piece and did not touch it again.

They sat there for a moment, heard nothing more, and then got up and prepared to leave. Dawn also asked for a piece of paper to wrap the food that she hadn't touched much.

Brother Qi'er left with Chenxi, feeling a gaze behind him, and inadvertently looked sideways, facing the young man's bright eyes.

He nodded slightly to say hello, and then walked out of the teahouse with Chenxi without looking back.

Brother Ming'er took the food from Chenxi's hand and gave it to the homeless people hiding under the eaves.

Brother Qi'er's morning light and Brother Ming'er, who was watching with a hat, gave food to a child, and suddenly a voice from the side that they were familiar with to the bones.

"Qi'er Dawn!" Dong Rong stood ten steps away from them, looking at them with some surprise and some seriousness.

Chenxi took the lead in turning her head sideways, and saw Dong Rong standing there at a glance, and shouted happily to her mother and let go of her brother's hand and ran over.

Brother Qi'er wanted to reach out and grab her and tell her not to run slower, but he grabbed it when he stretched out his hand. couldn't help laughing a little, and shouted to Brother Ming'er, who was still lingering in front of the homeless people: "Brother Ming'er, my mother is here." ”

The child's mother was still grateful to Brother Ming'er, Brother Ming'er couldn't bear to look at them, and when he heard Brother Qi'er's words, he immediately got up and walked towards Dong Rong.

Chenxi ran over and took Dong Rong's hand, noticed Shan Xing with an umbrella beside her, tilted her head to look at her, Shan Xing saluted her, she nodded and said coquettishly to Dong Rong: "Mother, where have you been, I can't find you anywhere." ”

"Mother came out to do something, didn't the person in charge tell you? Why did the three siblings run out. Dong Rong touched Chuan Chenxi's hand, feeling the heat and didn't say much.

Brother Ming'er and Brother Qi'er also came to Dong Rong's face, but fortunately, there was no one on the street, and they would not stand in the way when they stood together.

Shan Xing shouted one by one, it was inconvenient to hold an umbrella, so he didn't make a big salute.

Brother Ming'er looked like a single star at first glance, and said with some surprise: "Single star? Why are you ......" Seeing that he was holding an umbrella, he didn't ask, nodded and looked at Dong Rong and said, "Mother, did you come out to settle these homeless people?" ”

"Well, your father has sent someone to set up a temporary living shed, food and clothing are being prepared, and the hospital has already started to heal." Dong Rong said and looked at the homeless people under the eaves and sighed.

"Let's go home, things have been arranged, and in a little while there will be soldiers to take them to their temporary residence."

It was very inappropriate to talk on the street and it was raining, Dong Rong came to the homeless people under the eaves and told them that if they were sick, they could go to the Pingxin Medical Center for diagnosis and treatment, and they couldn't bear to look at those hopeful eyes, Dong Rong took her children back to the house.

After returning home, she didn't say much, and began to send people to prepare ginger soup to cook porridge. She was so busy, the three siblings didn't dare to ask more, and wanted to help but were rejected by Dong Rong.

Murong Huaide is resettling those displaced people, she is busy preparing supplies, and the affairs in the house still have to be handled by these two sons.

It happened that the person in charge had something to find the master, and Murong Huaide found Brother Qi'er when he was not there, and Brother Qi'er handed over the morning light to Brother Ming'er and left with the steward.

Everyone is busy, Brother Ming'er and Chenxi are standing under the eaves You look at me, I look at you. Then they sighed together.

Brother Ming'er said, "Let's go, let's go to Master's place to have a look?" ”

"Hmm." Chenxi didn't have much energy to respond, and followed behind Brother Ming'er.

When they came to Nanyuan, where Master Miao was, they heard a pig-killing cry as soon as they entered the courtyard.

The brother and sister glanced at each other, both calm, and Chenxi said, "It's the voice of the fat brother." ”

Brother Ming'er: "......" He really didn't want to admit that he was inferior to his sister.
