Chapter 168: Soup kitchen

As soon as the day was shining, an ordinary Qingwei carriage drove into Duoshi Town from the official road in the direction of the county seat, all the way to the center of the town. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The coachman made a strange "huh", and a soft voice sounded in the car: "What's wrong?" ”

"Girl, there seem to be a lot fewer people in this town."

"Oh?" The curtain of the car was raised, revealing a woman's delicate face, she looked back and forth, and her curved willow eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly, "It's really a lot less, I remember that when we came two days ago, there were people on the side of the road, why are there only so many people now?" ”

The driver thought of a possibility: "Will it be ......?"

"Impossible." The woman said firmly, "It's only been two days, and even if you starve to death and freeze to death, there won't be so many fewer people." Find someone to ask. ”

The coachman stopped and inquired about someone, and then came back and said, "Girl, the people in the town say that many people have lived in shacks on the east side of the town. ”

The woman was surprised when she heard this: "Shack? ”

"Yes, I heard that a few outsiders helped build it, and it was just done yesterday."

The woman nodded and said, "In that case, let's go over there too, it's just convenient for soup kitchen." ”

"Yes." The coachman should get off and drive in the direction of the shack.

Li Wan was woken up by the shouting of Xuan Fang, she rubbed her eyes and sat up from the floor, and looked at the half-collapsed window, the sky was already bright.

"What time is it?"

"Just arrived at Tatsumasa." Picking up the cotton clothes next to her and wrapping them around her, she said while helping her button the placket of her clothes, "Miss, get up and go to the shack to take a look, there is a good thing!" ”

"A good thing?" Li Wan was slightly stunned.

"That's right, and it's a great thing, you'll find out when you go over and see it. Gu Gongzi and the others have already gone over first, so let the slave and maid not disturb you to sleep, but the slave and maid felt that you must be interested, so they took it upon themselves to wake you up. She smiled, helped her button up her clothes, and took out a peach comb to comb her hair.

What could be called a great thing now?

Li Guan thought for a while, and his eyes lit up: "Did Huo Lan come back with food?" ”

"No, there's still no news from Lord Huo."

Okay, Li Wan pursed her lips, and when she saw that Chu Fang was going to pull her hair in a bun, she hurriedly waved her hand: "Don't bother, just take a hairband and help me tie it." ”

Also, it's not that much attention here.

Chu Fang smiled, quickly tied her in a ponytail, and served her to freshen up, and the two of them walked towards the shack together.

As soon as he went out, Li Wan couldn't help but show a look of surprise, only to see two or three people running past from time to time on the originally bleak and bleak street, all of them running towards the east of the town without exception.

What's going on? Why are these victims suddenly so excited?

Li Wan glanced at Fang Fang, and the curiosity in his heart was even stronger: "Don't sell it first, tell me quickly, what happened?" ”

"Well, then the slave will tell you. A few people came from the county seat this morning, and now they are giving porridge to the shack. ”

"Ah, really?" Li Guan was overjoyed, this is really a long-term drought and a rainstorm, and it came too timely, "Do you know who it is?" How much food did they bring with them, and how many days would it last? ”

"I heard that it is a family surnamed Bai, and the person in charge is a girl, and the people in the town call her Bai Girl, and she looks like a person from the county. They came once a few days ago, and they also brought food, and they left after two meals of porridge in the town, but they didn't expect to come again today. However, they only came in two cars, and it is estimated that they will not bring a lot of food. ”

That's good enough, at least to give the townspeople a bite to eat and breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Guan's face was full of smiles: "Let's go over and have a look!" ”

They trotted all the way to the shack, and when they reached the outside of the vegetable market, they saw a long procession coming out of it, each holding a clay bowl or bowl in his hand, and craned his neck to look ahead, as if he could not wait.

Li Guan and Zhu Fang glanced at each other, walked in quickly, they followed the line until they reached the southernmost open space of the shack, and saw a huge iron pot on a stove temporarily built with stones, the multigrain porridge in the pot was bubbling, and a young woman in a blue-green cotton jacket stood behind the pot, holding a long iron spoon in her hand to scoop porridge for the victims in line.

"Take your time, don't squeeze, everyone has a share." With a kind and gentle smile on her face, she whispered softly to soothe the impatient victims.

"Girl, Chai He is almost gone, I'll go find some Chai He." The little girl who was burning the fire next to her wiped the sweat of her sideburns.

"Then you go quickly, be careful." The woman nodded at her.

At this time, a simple-looking man in his fifties ran past Li Guan and the others with an iron pot.

"Girl, I've found another pot, we can build another stove."

"Great." The woman said happily and instructed the other girl who was burning the fire, "You go and give Uncle Guang a hand." ”

The little girl responded, added some firewood to the stove, and then went to help Uncle Guang build the stove, brush the pot, wash rice, and light a fire......

Several people were busy around the two pots.

Chu Fang couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This white girl is really kind-hearted! ”

And he was very brave, Li Guan added in his heart.

Natural and man-made disasters are the most likely to cause chaos, they are too many people and do not dare to act rashly, she is a powerless woman who dares to take only three servants out and walk around, is she not afraid of being robbed?

Li Wan glanced at the white girl a few more times, and then looked around for Gu Chengyu and the others.

"Gu Gongzi, they're over there." Chu Fang pointed to the corner of the shack.

Li Guan also saw them and walked over.

"Guan'er, you're here too." Gu Chengyu said with a smile, his expression was much more relaxed than yesterday, and it could be seen that the arrival of the white girl made him very pleased.

Li Guan could understand his mood, and stood beside him and looked at the white girl together: "This white girl is really timely rain, if it weren't for her, we really wouldn't be able to leave Duoshi Town with confidence." ”

Dong Linzhi leaned on the shack and said disapprerovitically: "What can a few pots of gruel do, can she still give porridge here every day and stay up until the beginning of spring?" ”

Li Guan and Dong Linyi looked at him together.

"What's wrong with a few pots of gruel? Do you know how many people in this town might have survived because they had a bowl of porridge to drink? Li Guan looked at him unhappily, "Even if this white girl leaves after this porridge, at least the people are kind and have done some good deeds for the victims in the town." And with her, maybe we will have more time to go to the county seat to ask for food, isn't this a good thing? ”

“…… I'll just say casually, why are you so fierce? Dong Linzhi stood up straight and muttered.

"Eh, you see, what's going on with those guys?" Shi Yue, who had been paying attention to the white girl's side, said suddenly.

When Li Guan and the others heard the reputation, they saw a few men with unkind faces rudely pushing through the crowd and squeezing to the front of the line.
