A few days later, they came to a small town called Duoshi, which belongs to Jiyang County, which is under the jurisdiction of Jinan, and is only about a day or two away from the city of Jinan. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Along the way, seeing with their own eyes the people everywhere being displaced and starving under the ravages of the snowstorm, Li Guan and others were very heavy.

Especially Li Guan, she was a human being in two lives, although she was lonely in her previous life, but in the end she lived in a peaceful and rich environment, and did not experience a little natural and man-made disasters, and although she was bumpy in this life, she was even more pampered and pampered, and she lived for forty or fifty years in her two lives, and it was the first time she witnessed this kind of starvation and death in the wilderness.

After the shock, she quickly put away her little temperament and hypocrisy, and ate steamed buns and drank porridge with everyone every day, without screaming bitterly, which made Gu Chengyu and others look at her with admiration.

But the only thing that comforted her was that every day or two, Dong Linzhi could always find some game for her to sacrifice, and even picked up a few sweet potatoes last night, all of which she roasted and ate.

They had planned to rest overnight in Battlestone and then continue on their way, but when they entered the town, they were stunned by what they saw.

Nine out of ten houses were crushed by the snow, and everywhere you could see the people sleeping on the streets, unclothed, including old people and children, all of them skinny, huddled by the broken wall and shivering, seeing Li Guan and the others coming, they all cast curious and timid eyes.

How could this be, didn't the imperial court already allocate money to come down for disaster relief? Before they left, they had heard that the situation had been brought under control, that the people had been properly resettled, and that the conditions were still very difficult, but at least not as hundreds of dead as they had been a few months ago. But what is the scene in front of you, if it goes on like this, how many days can these ordinary people survive?

Li Guan couldn't help but feel a wave of anger in his heart, what did Yu Fengyao do, right under his nose, there would be such a situation, what did he, the inspector of the disaster, eat?

She thought about it, and said to Dong Lindao, who was following the carriage: "What about Huo Lan? Let him come over. ”

Dong Linzhi's heart was also full of doubts, with his cousin's ability to do things, it was impossible for this situation to happen.

He called Huo Lan over loudly: "What's going on?" Doesn't it mean that the disaster has been brought under control? ”

Huo Lan couldn't hide the shock on his face: "I don't know very well, I was fine here before I left...... I'll go ask somebody. Without saying a word, he rode away.

At this time, Li Wan suddenly saw a three- or four-year-old child kneeling beside a woman on the side of the road and crying, in the ice and snow, the child was only wearing a shabby single coat, his hands and feet were purple from the cold, and he was crawling on the ground sobbing weakly, and the woman in front of him was lying upright, clearly out of breath.

Li Guan's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by a hand, and there were bursts of throbbing pain.

"Stop!" She shouted, jumped out of the car, and ran towards the child.

"What are you doing, come back quickly!" Dong Lin stopped her and didn't let her pass.

"Why are you pulling me? Didn't you see that the kid was about to freeze to death? Li Wan turned around and glared at him, and then ordered Xun Fang and Chu Fang, who got out of the car, "Take out the quilt and the remaining steamed buns from our car." ”

"Yes." Xun Fang and Chu Fang immediately turned around and ran back to the car.

"Wait!" A soft shout stopped them, Gu Chengyu rode over from the head of the team, he turned over and dismounted and walked in front of Li Guan, and said with a worried face, "Guan'er, now is not the time to be compassionate, look around, you can save this child, but can you save all the people here?" There are thousands of victims in this town, so what can we do with that little food in the car? You took out two steamed buns to save this child, and the other victims saw it and asked us to eat? It's not that I'm reluctant to give up that bit of food, but I'm afraid that it will catch fire when the time comes. He said and looked around warily.

Li Guan was reminded by him, her brain quickly calmed down, she raised her eyes and looked around, only to see that some of the victims who were closer to them were looking at this side expectantly, and some of them had even slowly surrounded them, with a little excitement mixed with timidity on their yellow and thin faces.

People can do anything in a desperate situation.

Li Wan couldn't help but feel excited, she almost did something stupid.

"But......" she looked at the child with a hesitant look on her face, "are we going to leave that child to fend for himself?" ”

"No, it won't." Gu Chengyu comforted, "Huo Lan has already inquired about the situation, it stands to reason that there shouldn't be such a situation now, there must be something wrong." When he comes back, let's discuss it carefully and see if we can come up with a way to help these victims. ”

Shi Yue, who got off the carriage with him, asked, "Then where are we going now?" ”

"Let's find a suitable place to settle down first, the inn is hopeless, just find a shelter from the wind and rain."

It can only be done temporarily, Li Guan glanced back at the child, gritted his teeth and got into the carriage.

They walked around the town, and found a half-collapsed house, owned by a grandfather and grandson who had depended on each other, and looked at them in a corner in apprehension.

No one else was present, Li Guan relieved to let Chu Fang take two steamed buns to the grandparents, and the grandchildren were overjoyed and kowtowed to Li Guan with great gratitude.

Li Wan helped them up and asked the girl gently, "What's your name?" How old are you this year? ”

“…… Little girl...... Nine-year-old ......"

"Is there anyone else in your family? What about mom and dad? ”

Tears welled up in the little girl's eyes, and she choked up: "It's just me and grandma...... My father and mother are sick and ...... died."

Li Guan touched her hair with pity and didn't ask again.

Huo Lan soon returned.

"How's that, have you heard? What's going on here? Li Wan asked urgently.

Huo Lan nodded: "There is indeed an accident here. About half a month ago, a heavy snowfall for five days collapsed the newly built houses here, and I heard from the people in the town that several groups of people had come down to inspect it, saying that they would allocate money to help the people here. I've just gone around the east side of town, where we've started to build a shed, but it's not enough manpower, and it hasn't been done for days. The people of this town are sick and dead, and there are not many people left who can come in handy. ”

"What about food and clothing?" Li Wan thought of the dying child, "If you don't have a house to live in, you have to give the people something to keep out the cold, right?" ”

"I haven't asked this yet. Have you seen anyone in charge of the work? ”

Everyone shook their heads.

Huo Lan's face was slightly gloomy: "It seems that the problem here is not small. ”
