"Young master?"

Cao An came up unbelievably, he couldn't understand Zhao Yu's behavior at all.

The second son of the dignified township marquis's mansion actually made way for the women in a work site?

And just as he was about to inquire about this, he saw the Jing girl beside Zhao Yu speak: "Young master, that woman ...... It seems to be the same person I saw that day? ”

"Hmm." Zhao Yu nodded slightly.

"Is it really her?" Jingnu patted her chest and said, "That day, she was so frightened that she rushed over all of a sudden......"

"At that time, she didn't have any other way."

"Poor ......"

Listening to the conversation between Zhao Yu and Jingnu, Cao An grabbed his hair, but felt completely unable to speak.

The woman? Day? Rushing over? Wretched?

What happened when I was not with the young master?

Somewhat similar to the stunned Cao An, Zhang Ji didn't understand what was going on, and couldn't help asking, "Second son, do you recognize that woman just now?" ”

"I don't recognize it, I've only met once."

Zhao Yu shook his head and told Zhang Ji and Cao An what happened in front of the mansion a while ago, and Zhang Ji and Cao An looked at each other and didn't know what to say.

You must know that when Zhang Ji and Cao An were punished a while ago, they were both sent to guard the barn, so it was like a refugee rushing forward to pray for shelter or something, and they were used to it, and even if necessary, they had to carry sticks to forcibly drive them away according to the orders of the guard commander Zhang Chun.

But Zhao Yu is different, the woman patted the door of the mansion and cried heartbreakingly begging the mansion to accommodate her, at least to accommodate her two children, Zhao Yu has not forgotten it to this day.

He will not forget the desperate appearance of the woman he saw from the gradually closing door of the mansion and through the cracks in the door when Zhang Ying ordered Zheng Luo and Niu Ji to close the door of the mansion.

In all fairness, Zhao Yu didn't think that Zhang Ying had done anything wrong, after all, as the guardian of the Xianghou Mansion, he shouldered the responsibility of defending the Xianghou Mansion, and Zhang Ying should take the lead in ensuring the safety of the Xianghou Mansion, and everything was for the sake of the interests of the main family.

At the same time, Zhao Yu didn't think that the other township marquis mansion should do anything for this woman, the other township marquis mansion didn't owe anything to these refugees, and Luyang County didn't owe anything to these refugees.

He was simply sympathetic to the woman with two children.

What about her husband? Why is it so nowhere to be seen, that a woman is left alone with two children?

Does she have any siblings?

After returning to his house with Jingnu that day, Zhao Yu couldn't help but think about these questions.

But at that time, he really couldn't help much.

Subsequently, when Zhao Yu showed some intelligence in front of his father Luyang Township, so that when Luyang Xianghou took him to Rushui County, Zhao Yu was in front of his own mansion at that time, and he also secretly paid attention to this woman, but he regretted that he did not find any trace of this woman at that time......

Since that day, Zhao Yu has not seen the woman again.

Where did she go?

Is she okay with her two children?

Zhao Yu couldn't help but think about these questions in recent days, but he never got an answer, until today, he finally saw this woman again, and saw her work in Zhengxiang here, in exchange for food.

At this moment, Zhao Yu was sincerely happy.

He will not arrogantly and stupidly think that "work for relief" is all his own efforts, but it is undeniable that his efforts have allowed Luyang Township Marquis Liu Jian and his father Luyang Township Marquis to implement this strategy early, so that the refugees in the territory finally have a stable source of food and can finally see hope.

He didn't ask these refugees to thank him, because all of this was just out of his sympathy.

But it cannot be denied that when he saw that with his own efforts, this woman came to Zheng Township to work for food, instead of sitting and waiting outside the township mansion in despair, Zhao Yu felt a small sense of accomplishment in addition to being happy.

Even though he hadn't even spoken to the woman.

Yes, you don't.

In the following time, Zhao Yu paid extra attention to the woman.

Oh, as for how to solve the problem of laziness of the refugees in this work site, he has already come up with a countermeasure, just waiting for his father Luyang Xianghou to arrive - Zheng Luo has sent someone to inform Luyang Xianghou of Fangcai's incident, which will definitely mention him, Luyang Xianghou will definitely come to ask about the situation when he learns that his young son is here, and Zhao Yu will make some suggestions to his father at that time.

Having said that, from a person's words and deeds at the moment, it may not be able to see through this person, but from the way a person does things, it can be roughly seen.

Unlike Ding Lu's stealing and slippery people, this woman, like the family surnamed Toda, worked very hard, and was obviously thin, but she was able to carry a bamboo basket full of earth like those men in the prime of life, although her body was slightly shaky and her steps were not so steady.

She still had a baby about one or two years old tied with a cloth on her chest!

Suddenly, the woman seemed to tripped over something, and she fell to the ground.

In order to avoid oppressing the toddler who was tied to her chest with a cloth, she subconsciously supported her elbows, but the bamboo basket behind her back poured out the dirt and almost buried her.

"Yikes."

Seeing this scene from afar, Jingnu covered her mouth and exclaimed quietly.

Beside him, Zhao Yu's lips opened slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he restrained himself.

"Mother!"

The half-grown child beside the woman in the distance screamed and quickly brushed the dirt off his mother's back with his hands.

"It's okay, my mother just accidentally tripped and fell."

The woman comforted her son, and immediately looked at the toddler tied to her chest, and was relieved to see that the toddler was safe and sound.

But for some reason, tears suddenly fell from her eyes.

"Mother, why are you crying? Did it hurt from a fall? Rub your ...... for you."

"No, my mother doesn't hurt, my mother just ...... Just ......"

Her voice was choked, and the woman, not knowing how to explain, took her son in front of her in her arms.

Seeing this scene from afar, Jingnu said timidly: "Young master, she is so pitiful. …… Won't we help her? ”

"......" Zhao Yu didn't say a word.

Indeed, he sympathized with the woman, although the woman was not so good-looking, but her helpless sobbing appearance with her two sons in her arms at the moment made Zhao Yu quite uncomfortable.

But he didn't know whether he should go up to help, or let Zhang Ji and Cao An help.

Objectively speaking, he shouldn't have stepped forward to help, there are no less than hundreds of refugees here, such things as falling to the ground with a basket on their backs are commonplace for these refugees, most of the overseers will not care, and those refugees have never had the luxury of asking the overseers to help them, at most it is just mutual help between refugees.

Even the trivial things that these refugees were accustomed to each other, if Zhao Yu stepped forward to help with a small fuss, he was worried that it would cause unnecessary trouble.

You must know that he is the second son of the Xianghou Mansion, and the guards of the nearby Xianghou Mansion all pay attention to him from time to time, and his every move will inevitably affect the judgment of these guards who serve as overseers.

No, Zheng Luo, the guard in charge of monitoring the refugees here, walked up to the woman at this moment and asked kindly, "What's the matter?" ”

Seeing the overseer's inquiry, the woman was startled, wiped her tears in a panic, and despite the fact that her face was a mess of mud and tears, she barely squeezed out a smile and explained: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that the slut accidentally tripped and fell." ”

Zheng Luo hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can you get up?" Do you want to take a break? ”

I have to say that as far as Zheng Luo's duties as a supervisor are concerned, he will not and cannot say this at all, the reason why he would say this, or simply say, the reason why he came here to investigate the situation of this woman was only because he noticed Zhao Yu's attention to this woman.

But obviously his concern had the opposite effect at the moment, and I saw that the woman was in a panic when she heard Zheng Luo's words: "Zheng Tou, the slut is not in the way, the slut still has strength, you must not drive me away......"

"Uh......"

Zheng Luo opened his mouth, and he glanced at Zhao Yu's location meaningfully.

Although it was far away, he could still feel that the second son's expression was unswerving.

"That idiot, trying to make amends for the mistakes he made before, that's not the way it is."

Zhang Ji shook his head secretly, and after taking a look at Zhao Yu, he walked towards Zheng Luo, and shouted halfway through: "Zheng Luo, come over here, I have something to look for you." ”

"Oh, good."

Hearing Zhang Ji's shout, Zheng Luo naturally had no time to take care of the woman, and after telling "be careful next time", he walked up to Zhang Ji and asked, "Brother Zhang, what's the matter?" ”

"What are you doing?" Zhang Ji asked angrily.

"I ...... I didn't do anything. Zheng Luo said in a flurry tone.

Seeing this, Zhang Ji rolled his eyes, stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Zheng Luo's neck, and whispered to him: "Boy, I know what you want to do, you found that the second son is very concerned about that woman, right?" …… Don't worry too much, you're the overseer here, and your job is to keep an eye on all the refugees present, not to help one of the women, and if you help her, why don't you help the other hundreds of refugees as well? Can you be busy alone? Put away your careful thoughts, and if you want to please the second son, it's not in this way. …… It doesn't hurt if I tell you, the second son does have some sympathy for the woman, but the second son understands the truth that the overall situation is important, there are so many people here, you only help her, what do other people think? Go back to your post honestly! ”

was debunked by Zhang Ji, and Zheng Luo left with a smile.

Shaking his head and watching Zheng Luo walk away, Zhang Ji walked back to Zhao Yu's side, hugged his fists and said, "Second son, I have already taught Zheng Luo's kid a lesson." ”

Zhao Yu nodded.

I have to say that compared with Zhang Ji and Zheng Luo, in the end, Zhang Ji considered the problem more comprehensively, and he was worthy of being one of the two guards selected by the Marquis of Luyang from the many guards in the mansion to accompany Zhao Yu.

After receiving Zhang Ji's warning, Zheng Luo really didn't dare to get close to the woman anymore, nor did he dare to offer any help, and the woman was as strong as Zhao Yu thought, although she had just sobbed, but after crying, she still gritted her teeth and carried the bamboo basket full of soil.

At this time, Zhao Yu said to Jingnu: "She doesn't need extra help, and we can't give her long-term help." …… That's it. ”

Jing Nu nodded as if she understood whether she understood or not.

"Bell, bell, bell."

In the distance, at the entrance of the village of Zhengxiang, there was a sound of metal knocking, like the sound of hitting cymbals on the battlefield.

Hearing this, many of the refugees, who had been lifeless, suddenly cheered, only to see them quickly crawl out of the ditch pit, or drop the earthen baskets on their backs, and rush towards the entrance of the village.

"The village has released grain." Zhang Ji explained succinctly.

Zhao Yu nodded slightly, and suddenly saw the woman holding a child in her arms and leading a child from a distance, although her body was covered with mud, but at this moment there was a smile on her face.

And the half-grown child beside her also shouted happily, "Eat, there is something to eat." ”

"Don't shout and disturb others."

Noticing that Zhao Yu and the others were standing not far away, the woman hurriedly signaled her eldest son to be quieter, and then walked quickly past Zhao Yu and the others.

During this period, Zhao Yu took the initiative to nod to the woman, and the woman was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't know how to respond, and took her son's hand and left quickly.

Looking at the smiles on the faces of the mother and son, Zhao Yu gradually showed a little smile on his face.

There are thousands of refugees pouring into Luyang County, and even now there are more than that, he can't help these refugees too much, and that's all he can do, whether he can change his fate depends on the refugees themselves.

But he can be sure that the mother and son will definitely survive, and even settle down in his Luyang County in the future.

"Let's go, let's go see how the grain is being put and see what they eat at each meal."

"Yes."
