After drinking a bowl of steaming medicine, the old man finally opened his eyes slowly, and his cloudy eyes looked at the top of his head without focus, and it took a long time to fall his gaze on the face of the girl beside him, with pity and love. "Grandma, you're scared to death Rong'er." The girl threw herself into her arms and hugged the old man with tears in her eyes, and began to cry whimpering in the old man's arms.

The old man raised his trembling hand and caressed her head lovingly, "Good child, don't be afraid, Grandma won't leave, Grandma will watch you and Feng'er grow up, Grandma promised your father and mother, you must be talking." ”

Changxing found a leeward space near the medicine shed, and helped the awakened grandma to lean on, except for Changsheng who took the little boy to line up to receive porridge, everyone else gathered around the grandma, and the girl thanked Changxing again and again, but Changxing was very embarrassed, only scratching her head and smirking.

Now everyone can see the girl's appearance clearly, although she is also dressed in tatters, and her face is dirty, but it is much cleaner than that of a little boy, her face is very small, and most of it is covered by unkempt long hair, but if you look closely, you can see that her facial features are very exquisite, and she should be a beautiful big girl when she grows up.

From the girl's words, I know that her surname is Bai Rong'er, eleven years old, her younger brother's name is Bai Lingfeng, only seven years old, the family was originally from Xingxian County, Yunzhou, who knew that her parents died one after another on the way to escape, leaving only the elderly grandmother and two children to rely on each other, and fled all the way to the south with the people in the disaster area.

Along the way, they went to Fengcheng first, but nearly 100,000 people had poured in before Fengcheng, Fengcheng posted a notice, sealed the city gate, and no one was allowed to enter or leave the city, and the displaced people who came one after another gathered at the city gate angrily, and confronted the officers and soldiers for three days, and finally had to continue to go south.

In Kunzhou, the situation is the same as Fengcheng, Kunzhou also closed the city gate after opening the city gate for a few days, this time the people who were locked outside the city gate could no longer control their anger, they rushed to the city gate frantically, a wave of people fell and a wave of people rushed forward, hunger and resentment have made them completely lose their minds, in order to prevent these mobs from rushing into the city, the officers and soldiers on the city gate actually opened fire on the unarmed refugees, one after another feather arrows shot down, these people did not die in the flood, but were mercilessly shot on the way to call for help.

At the gate of Kunzhou City, the heavy rain was pouring down, and on the muddy ground were corpses that had been killed by arrows and trampled to death, as if God was also crying out for them. And Bai Rong'er's father was among them, and her mother, who was already seriously ill, heard the news of her father's death, and couldn't support it anymore, so she followed after a while.

The old grandmother and her young grandchildren had only time to hastily bury her son and daughter-in-law, and there was no way to erect a grave, so she had to follow the remaining refugees to the south. Along the way, there was no food, the roots of the trees were eaten, the leaves were eaten, they were very hungry, they even ate the soil, their clothes were torn, their shoes were torn, the continuous rain brought bursts of biting cold, they endured hunger and cold, they supported each other, and walked for nearly a month before they finally came to Wucheng, and finally had a mouthful of gruel to drink, but I didn't expect that my grandmother fell ill at this time, and she was so sick that she thought....

Speaking of this, Bai Rong'er's eyes were red, how many hardships she had experienced along the way, how much pain her little heart had endured, although she recounted it very plainly, but the listener was all concerned.

"Yunju? Yunju also broke the embankment? Jiang Li suddenly remembered that Bai Rong'er said that she was from Xingxian County, Yunzhou, and immediately asked with an anxious face, Liu Qin heard his question, and his whole heart was raised, only to feel that his heart was beating hard, and there seemed to be a hand in his throat that blocked her speechless.

"I don't know." Bai Rong'er shook her head, "Yunzhou was fine when we escaped, I heard my father say that our Xingxian County can actually hold out for a few days, I don't know why the county government sent people to let us escape quickly, saying that the flood was about to rush over, and then I heard people on the road say that the officers and soldiers destroyed the embankment in Xing County, and I don't know if it's true." ”

"Flooding?" Liu Qin shouted in surprise in his heart, but he didn't expect Jiang Li to say it, the two looked at each other, Jiang Li explained: "I read that the book recorded that the flood a hundred years ago destroyed the dams of two counties and saved the people of more than a dozen counties downstream by flooding. ”

Human wisdom is not to be underestimated, even if it is equivalent to the feat of a strong man breaking his wrist. It is the time when it is necessary to sacrifice an entire county, which means that Yunzhou is very critical, but at the same time, it also tells Sù Liuqin that since the flood has been discharged, Yunzhou has a great possibility of saving.

Liu Qin's heart relaxed a little, and now she can't do anything, she can only wait for the news of her second brother, but she is convinced that Yunzhou will be fine, and her second brother will definitely return to his family with all his tails.

After everyone waited for Changsheng to return, they watched the old man and Bai Rong'er sisters and brothers drink gruel, and then said goodbye and left, before leaving, Liu Qin took off her shoes and put them on Bai Lingfeng's feet, she felt very uncomfortable, whether it was the Bai family sisters and brothers, or the refugees around here, she couldn't help anyone, even if she took out all the silver taels she had accumulated, it was just a drop in the ocean, and she couldn't solve anything at all.

But at this moment, she also figured out that even if her personal strength is very weak, even if her ability is insignificant, even if she can only help a very small part of this world, she will do her best to reach out to those lonely old people and homeless children, and give them a little warmth with her meager strength, yes, at this moment, she finds her way to go in the future, she wants to make money, make a lot of money, not rely on the Liu family, but use her own strength, And then use that money to help those who need it.

When Liu Qin's eyes lit up, Jiang Li silently squatted in front of her and said softly, "Sister, I'll carry you." ”

Lying on Jiang Li's back, Liu Qin's eyes were **** again, she was not a particularly emotional person, but today for some reason, there was always an urge to cry, she buried her head in Jiang Li's neck, a tear rolled out and fell on Jiang Li's skin, she didn't know, her tears were like a hot fire, burning Jiang Li's little heart.

Sister, don't cry, my brother will accompany you, protect you, guard you for the rest of your life, let the disasters in the world, no one, no one want to hurt you!

At this moment, Jiang Li also found his future path, maybe this is the guidance of God, he came to her side, from the day she held his hand and called him brother, he could no longer erase her mark in his life.

The road back to Liufu from South Street was not close, everyone walked for nearly half an hour, and along the way, Changxing and they wanted to replace Jiang Li several times, Liu Qin was also embarrassed, and kept asking: "Brother Ah Li, are you tired?" Jiang Li always replied to her with the word "not tired", how could he not be tired, after all, he was a ten-year-old child, carrying a five-year-old and not light baby, walking so far, Liu Qin struggled to get off his back, but for some reason, Jiang Li, who has always been gentle and does not like to argue, was very stubborn this time, insisted on carrying her, and did not let others touch her.

Liu Qin was defeated by him, so he had to sigh in his heart, wiping the sweat beads on his forehead with his sleeve, while trying to lift his breath to lose his weight, and shouted and rested several times on the way, so they walked for half an hour when they could have reached the distance in a quarter of an hour.

Back in Liufu, sneaked into the Moxiang Courtyard through the side door, and before everyone had time to take a breath, they were blocked by the old lady in the outer room of the main house.
