Chapter 9 The Sorrow of the People

Early the next morning, just after dawn, Liu Xian was woken up by Xiaojing.

Xiaojing didn't sleep all night last night, and insisted on keeping a wake for her wife.

Liu Xian looked at her red eyes with dark circles, and was secretly a little ashamed in his heart, guarding the spirit of his mother, but he couldn't hold on.

wiped a handful of tears hanging on Xiaojing's eyelashes, and said to her lovingly: "Jing'er, I worked hard for you last night, my mother kissed her away, and you don't have to be too sad." When you're done with your mother's funeral, you'll have a good rest, you know? ”

"Childe...... Wow......"

Xiaojing couldn't help it, threw herself into Liu Xian's arms and sobbed.

"In, in Xiaojing's heart, Mrs. is Xiaojing's mother, now that her mother is gone, Xiaojing is so sad, I don't know what to do in the future." Xiaojing cried loudly.

"Little fool, isn't there still a brother when my mother is gone? In the future, everything will be borne by my brother, and our Liu Mansion will get better and better. You, I'm afraid you'll be busy in the future. Liu Xian rubbed Xiaojing's hair.

"Young master! The village chief of Liangji is here...... Belch. ”

At this time, Zheng Bo hurriedly broke in, and when he saw Liu Xian hugging Xiaojing, he closed his mouth instantly, his eyes turned on Liu Xian and Xiaojing's bodies, and then seemed to be thoughtful.

Liu Xian didn't have so much thought, he glanced up at Uncle Zheng, gently pushed away Xiaojing in his arms and said, "Uncle Zheng, I see that you also have dark circles under your eyes, and you haven't rested all night?" ”

"The master mother is gone, and the old slave has to stare up and down and take care of it. Don't worry, young master, the old slave's body is fine, it's okay. ”

"Okay, let my grandfather wait, I'll wash up and go out."

"Okay, in fact, it's not a big deal, the young master doesn't need to worry." As he spoke, he quickly withdrew, and closed the door with his hand.

He remembered that Liang had mentioned to him that Liu Xian was already sixteen years old, and other people's children were already married at the age of sixteen, even if they were not married, they would have talked about their relatives early on, and they could marry at any time. But this Liu Xian hasn't talked about kissing yet.

Originally, he planned to do this well this year, but who knew that suddenly the world was in chaos, and this matter would be over, until now, Zheng Feng saw Liu Xian and Xiaojing together, and he couldn't help but think of this matter.

Originally, there was no need to worry about this, but now that the housemother is gone, it makes Zheng Feng feel a little anxious. Because there was a housewife in the past, everything would be taken care of by the housewife. Now, if this big Liu Mansion is left, there is only an old man like him, he doesn't worry about Liu Xian's family affairs, who will worry about it?

Xiaojing, a girl, also grew up under his watch, and now she is very smart, which is quite compatible with Liu Xian's young master, and he also treats Xiaojing as a junior.

But Zheng Feng felt that it was okay for Xiaojing to give Liu Xian as a concubine, but she must not be the main room. After all, the identity of the young master is here, and Xiaojing is just a little girl who has been adopted, and she can't afford to take advantage of the identity of the young master. There must be a lady with a comparable door, and only as the young lady of the Liu Mansion can be.

Of course, Zheng Feng naturally wouldn't tell Liu Xian about this, and after leaving, he thought about it and went to find Liang Ji. Liang Ji is Liu Xian's maternal uncle and Liu Xian's elder, and it is best for Liu Xian's relatives to be Zhang Luo by Liang Ji. As long as a good candidate is found, Liang Ji will come forward to propose marriage.

Liu Xian brushed his teeth with wicker under Xiaojing's waiting, and then washed his face with the hot water brought by Xiaojing.

This feeling of being waited on is really good, and I haven't had a chance to enjoy it in my previous life.

I changed my clothes again, and the clothes of this ancient era were a little troublesome to wear, but fortunately Xiaojing was there to help. Then he put on a sackcloth and tied a white linen cloth around his head.

This is wearing linen and filial piety.

During this period, Liu Xian accidentally glanced at a large bronze mirror in the room, and only then did he see what his life was like.

I didn't expect that I was really seven or eight points similar to when I was a teenager, and they were all so handsome. Ha, it's a little narcissistic, in fact, this Liu Xian's body seems to be better, he is only sixteen years old, and he is more than 1.75 meters. If it is a few years later, it is estimated that there will be a height of more than 1.8 meters.

But because he was infected with the epidemic, his face looked very pale, and his body was too thin, which looked like Liu Xian was like a thin bamboo pole that fell down when the wind blew it.

I'm afraid I'll have to recuperate for a while before I get better.

When they arrived at the mourning hall in the front hall, Liang Ji and the others had already arrived.

In addition, there are also villagers in ragged clothes and thin faces.

"I've seen the young master!"

Liang Ji took the lead and gave Liu Xian a salute first.

Then, a large number of villagers, men and women, young and old, followed to meet Liu Xian and called Liu Xian the young master.

Liang Ji should have talked to them as well, and now only this Liu Mansion still has food to keep them alive.

Liu Xian first helped Liang Ji up, and then let everyone get up.

Looking back, he found that Liang Ji was also tired, and couldn't help but say worriedly: "Uncle, you didn't have a night of rest last night, right?" ”

"Well, the old man went from house to house to talk to the villagers. Some villagers do not agree to isolate their sick relatives in their families, and it is not okay to not make it clear to them. ”

"Well, now ......"

"There's nothing wrong with it now. But what do you mean by that......"

"To tell the truth, almost all of the villagers who have contracted the epidemic have died without life, and if the villagers who are not infected live with them, it is inevitable that more people will be infected. That's why we will find a way to isolate them, so that more villagers can be saved. You are the village chief, you have enough prestige, and the villagers will listen to you. If it were me who did this, the villagers would not be willing. ”

"Huh? Then, isn't this ignoring the sick villagers? Can only watch the sick villagers die? This ......" Liang Ji's heart sank.

Last night, about 30 or 40 sick people were found, all of whom were sent to empty houses in the south of the village. Aren't these thirty or forty people saved? Liang Ji's heart was really not good, and he was panicked.

"Of course, I won't ignore them, I will find a way to treat them as much as possible. If they can save one by one, of course, whether they can be saved or not depends on their own lives. Liu Xian tried hard to recall that there were some methods and plans for treating epidemics in later generations, because there were no modern medical equipment and no medicines, so some local methods had to be used, but no matter what, there was really little hope that those villagers would survive.

Then, Liu Xian directly announced to the villagers who came to Liu's Mansion that in the next period of time, his Liu's Mansion would give them soup and food. But it is also clear that there is not much food in Liu's house, and they can only give a little porridge to keep them alive and not starve to death.

For the time being, that's all Liu Xian can do.

The funeral ceremony presided over by Liang Ji, the village head, not long after, after it was done, Liu Xian, Zheng Feng, Xiaojing and others all gave Liang three kneels and nine bows to be officially buried.

The villagers also spontaneously saw them off.

Outside the village, a large pile of firewood and grass had been piled up outside, and several dead villagers were also placed on it.

These are all firewood and grass that Chen Gen and Chen Shi brothers got overnight.

Among the villagers, there was already a cry, and it was the relatives of those who died. In addition, some villagers could not help but cry out in grief when they thought of their quarantined family members and the possibility of dying from this.

Liu Xian was silent, this is a troubled time! Natural and man-made disasters make the people miserable.
