With Wei Ziyu's help, someone soon arranged a place for Hu Xiaomei and her party, a single tent, more than enough for ten people to live. Not only is the inside clean and spacious, but the tent is also sturdy and airtight. And the ground has been covered with a thick layer of straw. A few people put the shabby quilt they brought on the straw, which was considered a bunk on the floor where everyone slept at night, which was much better than living in Weijia Town. It's soft and thick to sit on, and the futon covered is down, so it's definitely not cold to fall asleep at night.

Fox Fence Xiang lay on it and stretched comfortably: "It's really good, I can finally sleep beautifully." ”

"yes." Wei Sanniang helped Hu Xiaomei to sit down carefully: "The big guys have been tired for more than a month, and I can finally sleep well tonight." He looked at Hu Xiaomei distressedly: "The second child can also take care of his body." ”

At this time, Wei Dahe walked in from outside with a bowl.

"This is the herb I brought out from Weijia Town, which is specially used to treat external injuries, and I put it on the wound. I'll go to the mountains tomorrow to pick some more. ”

Kong took the bowl, several men walked out, Xiang also took Wang Xiaobao to the outside of the tent, Hu Xiaomei carefully took off layers of coats with the help of fox fence incense, and finally lay on the futon, and Kong carefully put the herbs on his back.

There were several bruises on his back, especially on his ribs, and it hurt when he touched his hand.

"Fortunately, the ribs are not broken, and I will go to pick some herbs to invigorate blood and dissolve stasis tomorrow." Kong has followed Wei Dahe for decades, even if he didn't know it originally, he is familiar with it at this time.

"The countryside on the outskirts of Weixian County is flat, unlike our Weijia Town. There are many mountains, and it is naturally convenient to collect medicines. Wei Sanniang was a little worried: "I can't pick herbs, so I have to go into the city to buy them, but we can't enter the city for a while." ”

"Didn't Master Wei say he would take us into the city?" Fox Fence Xiang said.

"That's what I said. Today, people happened to meet, and we are on the same side with him, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will forget about us when they come back from their errands, besides, it is best to use some medicine for your sister's injury as soon as possible. ”

Kong nodded: "That's what Sanniang said." At present, there is no other way, but to wait for tomorrow to collect medicine and come back. ”

The three of them talked for a while, and found that Hu Xiaomei didn't respond to a word. Look down. I fell asleep.

"This kid only slept in the afternoon, why is he asleep again now?" Wei Sanniang frowned.

"Mother, the second child has been very tired for more than a month, and her body is not good. On the way, I had to keep trying to find a place to stay. "After this incident. It is difficult for Fox Fence Xiang to connect Fox Xiaomei with the timid and cowardly nature before. She seems to have become accustomed to asking Hu Xiaomei for advice when she encounters something. At this time, I saw that she fell asleep for a while, and suddenly remembered that my sister was also very afraid of things before.

When a person suddenly becomes strong and independent, it must have gone through a lot of struggle and courage. In order to drive away the timidity in the heart, keep a clear mind at all times, and take on the responsibility of the safety of the family. That's how much tenacity it takes!

And this month, Hu Xiaomei has thought about everything thoroughly, and can remind Hu Dayou in advance, and everyone seems to be gradually getting used to this. However, this is also good, and the changes of Hu Xiaomei are always beneficial and harmless. Moreover, the road ahead is still long and difficult, and it is certainly better to have one more person to come up with ideas.

Not only Fox Fence Xiang, Wei Sanniang and Kong Shi didn't think so.

Everyone remained silent and decided not to disturb Hu Xiaomei, and carefully covered her with the quilt.

Taking advantage of the dead of night, Wei Sanniang put on the fire, took a small iron pot to draw water, cooked some porridge, and boiled two pots of hot water. Everyone ate porridge, washed their faces with hot water, burned their feet, and their whole body was smooth and comfortable! Lying on the floor, there was no cold at all.

This is also the warmest night that everyone slept in more than a month!

Wei Sanniang kept the porridge, and when Hu Xiaomei woke up in the middle of the night, she drank a bowl of hot porridge, and her hungry stomach immediately felt a little full! Wei Sanniang took the iron pot and poured water to boil hot water for her.

Hu Xiaomei hurriedly grabbed her: "It's so late." ”

"It's okay, there's still a fire outside, wash your face, soak your feet, and it's more comfortable to fall asleep at night." Wei Sanniang said.

"That's true, but I've been asleep for so long, and my feet are already warm. No need to wash it anymore. ”

"How can that be the same thing!"

Wei Sanniang insisted, and when she boiled the water, Hu Xiaomei washed her face and soaked her feet in hot water before she sat on the floor. Xu was very tired, even if he slept on his back at thirteen in the afternoon, and slept for a while in the homeless area, at this time, after lying down, the fox was still asleep after a while.

The next day, when the day dawned, everyone got up.

Hearing the buzzing sound outside, Fox Otomo sat up with a carp, put on his clothes and walked out. The rest of the people got up one after another.

After applying the herbs from Wei Dahe, the pain in her back was slightly reduced, and Hu Lixiang helped Hu Xiaomei sit up, and when she was dressed, Wei Sanniang came in from outside.

“…… A lot of people who made a lot of noise, thought that there would be food in the morning, but I didn't expect your father to go out to find someone to ask, it turned out that there was only porridge at noon, only once a day. Wei Sanniang said with a sad face.

"Ah, what then? If you only eat one meal a day, or clear porridge, how can you be full? Fox Fence Xiang was surprised.

"It's good to have porridge." Hu Xiaomei should be calmer, I think it is in Weijia Town, I'm afraid there is not even porridge at this time!

Several people became depressed, and after a while, the Xiang clan came back with Wang Xiaobao with a depressed face, and then Fox Dayou and Thirteen also entered the tent, and Wei Dahe and Fox Fence went to pick herbs.

"We can only hold on now, and we won't have anything to eat until noon." Fox Dayou said with a frown.

"It's okay for a day or two, but for a long time, adults can hold on, and the child is still growing up, which line is ......?" he said, Xiang's eyes were red.

I thought that I would not have to worry when I arrived in Wei County, but I didn't expect that I would still have to be hungry and full. Wang Xiaobao eats a lot at home, and at this time, he only eats one meal a day, or clear porridge, how can he do it. Moreover, there are too many people in the displaced areas, and even if they have their own food now, they dare not take it out.

For a moment everyone fell silent.

"Why don't we go into town?" Suddenly thirteen.

Fox Dayo, Youwei Sanniang and the others all looked at him.

"I just inquired with someone, and I heard that the displaced people who came a few days earlier have entered the city, and the city gate was closed a few days before we arrived in Wei County. Therefore, there are many displaced people in Wei County, and in order not to affect the normal life of the people in the city, there are two soup kitchens in the city. ”

"Ah, how so?" Xiang shouted: "It's just that across the city wall, the treatment is so different? Besides, there are more displaced people outside the city, so shouldn't we give more porridge? ”

"What's so strange about that?" Hu Xiaomei said expressionlessly: "I think that the government originally wanted to drive all the displaced people in the city outside the city, and everyone is not stupid, so they know that it is better to stay in the city than outside the city." The displaced people were reluctant to leave the city, presumably hiding in Tibet, and when the people from the government left, they all came out. In order not to affect the normal life of the people, not to disrupt the normal business of the merchants, and not to collide with the nobles, the government naturally has no choice but to organize soup kitchens to appease these homeless people. ”

"Then these officials are too favoritism!" Fox Fence Xiang said.

"It's not all government, either. There should still be many dignitaries and nobles who do good deeds and accumulate virtues. "Thirteen.

Fox Xiaomei looked at Thirteen, this person knows a lot, why did he think he was stupid in the past?

"I think we'd better go into the city." Thirteen and again.

Several people all looked at him, wanting to wait for him to come out, because everyone didn't know what to do at this time.

"Although we don't have to worry about living now, eating is a problem. Besides, don't worry about it in the short term, if it is a long time, presumably the government will not care, and we will be left to fend for ourselves at that time, at that time, we will have run out of food and money, and we will really become beggars and outcasts. Thirteen said seriously: "If you can take advantage of this time to enter the city, you don't have to worry about eating for the time being." My uncle and I have the strength, and when the time comes, we will find a job and barely survive this year. At the same time, we can also think about other livelihoods. "The dissection is very reasonable.

Hu Xiaomei nodded, she thought so in her heart: "Dad, mother, we should inquire more about the news in the city to see if there is any other way to enter the city, if it is really impossible, I am afraid that we can only wait for Lord Wei to come back at that time, and I hope he can help us again." ”

Anyway, they are all homeless, so why not plan as soon as possible, whether it is to work as a coolie or whatever, as long as you can have a livelihood. Perhaps, when the time comes, they can start the bean curd business again, but only if they have a place to live.

What Hu Xiaomei is most worried about now is that she has no place to live in the city, so she doesn't have to worry too much about life, how to say that there is free porridge. If you don't have a place to live, you will shrink from doing anything.

When noon came, there was a sound of gongs and drums outside, and I saw the homeless people rushing forward from the tents with bowls. Fox Dayou and others were also busy taking bowls out to line up to receive porridge, the soup kitchen was placed outside the homeless area, and the long three-row line lined up from the door to the innermost, and they could circle around the homeless area a few times, and the black pressed a piece of people. All of them are yellow and hungry, staring at the long noodles with straight eyes.

Fox Xiaomei took the bowl and lined up at the back of the line, she had a wound on her back and didn't dare to compete with others, Wei Sanniang and Fox Lixiang were going to stand with her, she forced the two to squeeze to the front: "I walk slowly, I don't know if there will be porridge when it's my turn, if you are like me again, won't you be hungry together at that time." ”

The two of them thought about it, even if Hu Xiaomei didn't scoop the porridge, the two of them would share some with her at that time, if everyone didn't scoop the porridge, they would be hungry together for a day.

However, Hu Xiaomei is not alone, Thirteen is standing behind her with a bowl, he is tall and strong, and the people behind him have no way to squeeze in front of him. also lest the fox Xiaomei suffer from unjustified disasters! (To be continued.) )
