(Ask for a subscription!) Ask for a ticket! Ask for a small tip! Oh also~~~)
The cold wind is blowing, and the world is bleak.
Ouyang Kang was wrapped in a thick cloak and stood in front of the restaurant. He has also been busy these days, his body has not had time to recuperate, his face is pale and haggard, and his cheeks are sunken a lot, but his eyes are surprisingly bright. Just look at the dense crowd, and then look at the lead-gray sky, and there is a deeper and deeper worry in his eyes.
It's going to snow.
It's going to snow again.
When it snows heavily, what can these victims do?
Their family's food stocks, whether donated by the people, sent by friends in the dark, or purchased from all over the world, are now running out, and they don't even know if they can survive today, so what should they do tomorrow?
"Aren't we stupid?"
I don't know when, Nianfu walked to his side, with a wry smile on his lips, and asked in a low voice, "I know that I can't fight the Dao, but I still have to fight again, it's good now, the food is running out, but when will Yunkai Yueming wait?" ”
Ouyang Kang turned his head to look at her, and quietly held her hand under the cover of the cloak, "Mr. said, most people in this world want to be smart people, and few people are willing to be fools, so being a fool at the right time is also a kind of cleverness." ”
Touching his warm palm, the strong mask on Nianfu's face was softened and taken off, with an undisguised tiredness, "But this kind of cleverness is too tiring." ”
Ouyang Kang said quietly, "I'm tired too." And afraid. Fearing that once there is no more porridge to supply, what will happen to these victims? Will it eat us alive? ”
Nianfu was also scared, but when Ouyang Kang said this, she was not afraid, "It's okay, I'll protect you then." It's a big deal that we'll hide in the countryside and wait for the gentleman to come back and make a reason. ”
Ouyang Kang looked at her and nodded solemnly, "Then I will rely on you." ”
Nianfu finally smiled, took a deep breath, and suddenly plucked up his energy again. My mother said. It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, it's useless if you're afraid! It's better to cheer up and fight, anyway, there is a tall man on top when the sky falls. I won't just smash the two of us. ”
Ouyang Kang hesitated slightly. He nodded very seriously. "Your mother has a point."
"Of course!" Nian Fu raised a big smile, but suddenly his eyes were slightly red, and there was more sourness in his smile. "I miss my mother."
The wronged child always misses his mother, and Nianfu hopes to be able to throw himself into Hui Niang's arms at this time, cry a lot, and tell the grievances in his heart?
But Ouyang Kang squeezed her hand, "If you really want to panic, you can also treat me as your mother." ”
I don't care about you! Nian Fu burst into tears and laughed, and was about to shake off his hand to work, but saw an uninvited guest.
It's Lu Ying, dressed up in palace costumes, with palace people, domineering, and a high-minded style.
Nianfu clenched his fists unconsciously, is this a joke?
Truly.
It's just that Lu Ying couldn't laugh loudly. I haven't seen him for a few days, Nianfu is much haggard, his sideburns are messy, and his face seems to be blown up, especially a pair of eyes that are deeply sunken and dark, and it seems that the pair of Danfeng eyes are extraordinarily big, and there are a lot of bloodshots in them.
is such a girl, but she has won Ouyang Kang's wholehearted attention. When they were talking just now, Lu Ying had already come, she saw them secretly holding hands, as well as the gentleness and tolerance in Ouyang Kang's eyes, Duguo was so free and warm.
However, Nianfu is clearly not good-looking at all, her clothes are not good-looking, her face is not good-looking, and it can even be said that she still looks a little ugly today, why is Ouyang Kang still looking at her like that? What's so good about her?
Nianfu strode forward and grinned, "I don't know why the girl is coming?" ”
Since I'm afraid it's useless, let's go forward and fight! Women's war, let men go away.
Lu Ying looked at the smile on Nianfu's face and slowly stepped forward, "I admire you a little, and you can still laugh in this situation." ”
Nianfu nodded unceremoniously, "Actually, you should admire me a little more, I have a lot of advantages." But since you're here, you can't come in vain, so let's make some contributions to the victims. ”
She turned her head to look at the people nearby and smiled, and said loudly, "The young lady of the Lu Shanggong family has come to donate food to everyone, applaud." ”
"Okay, thank you." The group of victims who were close to them did not hesitate to slap their hands a few times.
Lu Ying didn't seem surprised, pulled out a sneering smile, beckoned his subordinates to bring the food on the car, and smiled gently at the people, "I came here this time to deliver food." ”
Then he stepped forward and said in a voice that could only be heard by Nianfu, "Don't worry, there is no problem with these grains." If there are problems, they are all prepared by the Pingguo Mansion. ”
Nian Fu glanced at her, as if smiling, "So, I want Xie Lu to thank you?" ”
"I can't talk about thanks, anyway, I didn't come to hear your thanks, but to see how you are going to fall." She looked up at the sky, "Do you know the way?" The officials of the Qin Heavenly Prison just said that the sky will change again tonight. When it snows heavily, I don't know how many people your broken garden can hold. ”
Nianfu's face sank, "What do you mean?" ”
"It's not interesting." Lu Ying smiled a little coldly, "I'm just here to tell you that since you are so good at giving porridge, the Queen Mother has decided to recruit your family's broken garden and settle the victims." It's a great honor, so get ready to give thanks. ”
But how could the broken garden be able to accommodate the victims? Although the place is big enough, since Wu Mian Su Cheng moved in, most of the rooms that can live in it have been filled, and the most important thing is that there is no charcoal. The porridge that has been boiled for so many days has not only exhausted the food in the broken garden, but also the charcoal is almost running out. Even Nianfu herself can't afford to build a single stove at night, so she can only huddle together with the girls, so how can she entertain the people?
But Lu Ying didn't care, just showed her a sarcastic smile and left.
Evening returns, the first snowflakes. finally fell silently from the lead-gray sky, and the queen mother's decree was also passed down at the same time.
Due to the limited space for refugees, some of the city's large temples and temples were required to open unconditionally for the victims to live. Among them, it also includes the broken garden of Nianfu's family.
Ouyang Zhuang was sweating profusely and dragged two truckloads of charcoal over, "Brother, you can use it first, and I'll figure out the rest later." ”
He was in charge of the construction of refugee shelters and disaster relief. Not under their control. But something. He wasn't ignorant. All the places that have been classified as refugee camps are of local size, and they have received charcoal bedding subsidized by the government, except for broken gardens and nothing. and 5,000 old and infirm women and children.
There are some things in officialdom that cannot be said. There's no way to ask. All Ouyang Zhuang can do is to do his best to help the eldest brother. A few days ago, Ouyang Kang borrowed food from everywhere. didn't borrow it to go home, Ouyang Zhuang was a little sad in his heart.
It's not to blame Ouyang Kang, because he also knows that even if the eldest brother goes back to open this mouth, he will definitely be rejected. Since it snowed heavily that day, Ouyang Jin had a quarrel with the Tan family, and he insisted on asking for the key to the food charcoal fire at home, and he was in charge of it himself, and the use of the family still had to pass through his hands, let alone give it to people?
These two cars of charcoal were bought by Ouyang Zhuang from his private house silver from an acquaintance in the Ministry of Industry at an internal price, which can solve a momentary urgent need, but how long can it be managed?
Ouyang Kang was about to go crazy, and a bubble instantly appeared on his mouth.
Five thousand people, this is not five thousand chickens, just drive them to one place, so many people want to eat and drink Lazar, how can they tolerate the broken garden?
"Don't panic, don't panic. Let's move as much as we can, and think of a way. "Du Chuan, as well as Wu Mian, who is on crutches, have all come out to help.
Commanded his subordinates to first place some pregnant women, milk dolls and the elderly who needed to be placed the most, and then set up a simple greenhouse with the help of the original broken walls and ruins left in the broken garden.
The whole piece of bamboo that I wanted to keep for next year's long bamboo shoots was cut down, and all the newly hung curtains on the windows were removed, but this was not enough, far from enough.
Many kind-hearted victims saw that there was no place for them to stay in the broken garden, so they wanted to leave quietly to save others trouble, but they were left behind by Nianfu.
"It's okay, let's squeeze in, and we'll talk about it tonight."
It's snowing heavily, and if these people leave, where will they go?
On this night, almost no one could sleep in the broken garden. Hungry and cold.
The last bit of food has been used up in the soup kitchen during the day, and although Wu Mian still has some food in the broken garden, all the people are hungry, who is embarrassed to cook something to eat?
The young daughter of the Wu family, Sister Qing'er, had never suffered this hardship, and she was so hungry that she couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, crying and clamoring to eat.
Wu's heart was like a knife, although he knew that Lu Dao was inappropriate, he still discussed with Wu Mian, "Master, if this happens again...... I'm afraid we won't be able to live here anymore, right? "Anyway, he still has some food at home, so it's okay to move out of Lu and live by himself, right?
But Wu Mian said solemnly, "It is not easy to share wealth and prosperity, and it is even more difficult to share hardships." If you want to leave, I won't stay, even all the things in this house, you can take them with you. I won't divorce you, you can still keep my status as Mrs. Wu Mian, but that's only to fulfill the obligations of the same clan. You want to come back and live together, but it's impossible. I know that Dao Qing'er is hungry, but she is full in the morning, and she is full at noon, right? Although there was one less meal in the evening, I always ate dim sum, right? But what about the children outside, who are younger than her, how many days have they not eaten a full meal? And the blessed girl, Akang, how much food did they spend for this disaster relief, and how much did they use? Now you let me can't stand this hunger for her, so I abandon my friends and the minimum morality of being a human being, can I do it? Although I, Wu someone, am not your husband and the biological father of these three children, since you follow me for a day, you have to behave according to my Wu Mian's rules. If you can't do it, it's really not interesting to force you to stay. ”
Wu couldn't, and tears flowed for a long time.
Although Sister Qing didn't understand Wu Mian's words, she was also frightened by his serious appearance, crying and begging, "Dad, Dad, I don't want to eat, don't be angry!" ”
Wu Mian closed his eyes and sighed, his face softened, and he beckoned her to take her in his arms, "Good Qing'er, dad is not angry, it's not your fault." Come, Daddy will tell you a story, listen to the story, you go to sleep quickly, and you won't be hungry when you fall asleep. ”
Good. Qing'er obediently wiped away her tears and went to listen to the story in his arms.
As soon as the morning dawned, Wu Mian took out all the last bit of surplus food at home and handed it to Nianfu, "Take it to make porridge." ”
But this is more than 5,000 people, and there are so many people in Beishi, how can such a little food be enough?
"Sister, young master, come and see!"
When the children who went to the concierge first to work ran back and pulled Nianfu and Ouyang Kang out of the house, they both gasped at the same time. At the gate of the broken garden, the snow that fell overnight was cleaned up, not to mention, there was a whole wall of grain and charcoal fire stacked against the wall, looking at the amount, there were tens of thousands of catties!
Who's this? Who did it?
All the victims cheered. With this grain and charcoal fire, they can last a few more days!
Nianfu was very excited, but there was a bit of contemplation in the excitement, since she started to give porridge, or since it snowed heavily, she has always felt that someone is secretly helping her, but who is that? Who would have such a big deal?
Nianfu didn't know what to do, but now she couldn't think about it. She had to hurry to Beishi with food, so that the people there could drink a bowl of hot porridge.
However, some old faces today are destined not to come. Yesterday's heavy snowfall still froze to death some of the victims. Only the broken garden, although it was such a harsh condition, miraculously all survived! (To be continued......)
