Chapter 41: Arriving at the Border City

"Master, how can this be done, you are a daughter, let your subordinates follow. He said that he was going to get out of the carriage.

"Shen Biao, you have been working very the road, now you all go into the carriage and take a rest, I have cooked ginger soup to wake you up. The road ahead will be more difficult, you have to store your strength. ”

Shen Biao listened to his master's words, his heart was moved, he knew his master's temper, so he had to obediently order everyone to rest, but he refused to rest at all, and resolutely protected Xiao Mo'er's side. Xiao Mo'er also had no way to take Shen Biao's stubbornness, and sent Shen Biao to the nearby forest to pick up some firewood. I set up a pot with millet and found ginger from the cart with grain and grass.

"Millet, go prepare a fire, and I'll cut the ginger." Xiaomi looked at the master and hesitated for a while, so he had to take the order to make a fire, and Shen Biao rushed back to collect firewood. The ginger that started the fire was only cut in half, and the bare little hands were already red from the cold. Xiaomi grabbed his master's hand in distress and sighed: "Master, let Xiaomi come, see your hands are frozen." Xiao Mo'er helplessly looked at the hand that did not obey the call, so she had to hand the knife in Xiaomi's hand, and she and Shen Biao found some clean snow and put it in the pot to boil. After the ginger was cut, the ginger soup was boiled, Shen Biao woke everyone up, and everyone was moved to drink the ginger soup boiled by the princess herself.

"Wow! I didn't expect that I, Zhang San, would be lucky enough to be able to eat the dishes cooked by the crown princess herself. Zhang San drank a big mouthful of ginger soup intoxicated, as if this ginger soup was a delicacy of the mountains and seas. Everyone next to him laughed at Zhang San, but they were also drinking the ginger soup in the bowl.

This night, the carriage and horses did not continue to hurry, they lit a fire and took out the quilt, and everyone slept beautifully. The next morning, she continued to drive, the speed was obviously much faster, Xiao Mo'er looked at everyone and nodded energetically.

The further I went, the more snow accumulated. Xiao Mo'er's heart became more and more sour. "Master, there's a man lying on the side of the road ahead. Shen Biao stopped the carriage and said to Xiao Mo'er. "Let's go and see if there's any breath?" Shen Biao got out of the carriage and came to the man's side, only to see a young man about twenty years old, dressed in a light cotton coat. Already cold, Shen Biao probed the man's snort. "Master, this man still breathes. ”

"Hurry up and save people. Xiao Mo'er also jumped out of the carriage. "Lift them into my carriage. ”

"Master, this is unacceptable, this man is a young man, and riding in the same carriage is a hindrance to your reputation. "How could Xiao Mo'er not know this? But now it's important to save people, only her own carriage needs to be warmer. "Don't say more, it's important to save people, Xiaomi stays to take care of this person, and I'll go to another carriage." ”

"Master, by all means, the other carriages are very ......" Before Shen Biao finished speaking, Xiao Mo'er stared at her, and Shen Biao, who was frightened, lost her voice. had to carry the man into Xiao Mo'er's carriage as he said. Xiao Mo'er covered this person with a thick quilt, fed a few mouthfuls of dry food soaked in melted snow water, and went to another carriage. It was Zhang San who was driving. "Master, how can you sit in the broken carriage of the slave?" Zhang San panicked. The rest of the people in the car were crowded into other carriages, and only Zhang San was in charge. Xiao Mo'er quipped: "Why can't I do this carriage of yours?" Zhang San was even more panicked: "Crown Princess Mingjian, the slave never dared to hide anything." Hearing Xiao Mo'er's laughter, he knew that he had been entertained by his master, so he scratched his head embarrassedly and drove away. The car staggered for another ten days before arriving at the border city. The rescued young man had woken up, and he was a weak scholar named Huayin. The family lived in the mountains, the house was crushed by the heavy snow, and the family members were frozen to death except for themselves, and when he learned that the crown princess saved him, he immediately knelt down to thank him and swore to follow the princess to the death.

Along the way, I saw some villagers who had been issued cotton clothes, so I didn't find anyone frozen on the side of the road, and it seems that Feng Xiye has done an excellent disaster relief measure. The hardest hit in this area is the border county, where the snow is heard to be the heaviest, and the avalanche in the Moyse Snow Mountain happened to hit the city. What a disaster!

"Master, we have finally arrived at the border city. Shen Biao stopped the carriage and said to Xiao Mo'er in the car, after Huayin was ready, he sat in another carriage with the Lin family, and he was ashamed that he had occupied Xiao Mo'er's carriage.

Xiao Mo'er snorted. "Master, I'm going to find someone to ask the prince about their whereabouts. ”

"Wait, let's just distribute the relief supplies ourselves, don't look for him. Xiao Mo'er hurriedly stopped. Shen Biao had no choice but to obey orders. This master seems to have a grudge against the prince, how can this be good?

Xiao Mo'er divided the people she brought into three teams. Shen Biao led a team to investigate the situation in the border city first, and contact the border city guard. Zhang San led a team to set up some tents to take in the damaged people. Xiao Mo'er led the rest of the people to cook porridge and give alms to the people. After arranging everything, everyone went about their work. Liucheng is very large, the people are sparsely distributed, Xiao Mo'er saw that the people in the city began to repair the house, presumably without causing major casualties, so he set off to the east of the countryside, the closer to the village, the deeper it was buried by the heavy snow, the more difficult it was, and there were almost no good houses in the village. A few villagers stood trembling next to a few collapsed houses. It's like they're talking about something.

"Fellow, what are you discussing?" Xiao Mo'er stepped forward to ask. Several people turned to look at Xiao Mo'er. An older man spoke: "Looking at your outfit, you must not be an ordinary person, so I'll just tell you." Our village was buried by heavy snow, there was not a good house left, and many people died, and two days ago His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived, gathered people in one place, and set up a temporary shed, and we came out today to see how to repair the house. ”

"Oh. I see. When Xiao Mo'er heard this, this Feng Xiye came quite quickly, and rescued many people along the way, and actually arrived two days earlier than them. "Fellow, do you have enough food?" Xiao Mo'er's words made several people's eyes brighten up to look at her. "To tell you the truth, the grain is buried in the heavy snow, and people dig out points every day to solve the problem of food and clothing, but the snow is too big, and there is not enough food, and the food left by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a few days ago will be eaten up. Xiao Mo'er was glad that she came in time, otherwise these people would have run out of food. "Fellow, take us to your temporary residence. Hearing this, a few people looked at Xiao Mo'er and the others with puzzled eyes for a long time, and the older one spoke: "Okay, we are in this situation now, it doesn't hurt to take you there, please come with me." ”
