Chapter 30: The Victims

The woman's eyes were dead, and she said helplessly: "This nobleman, the old woman's man was in charge of the village, and he died of illness on the road. Now the old woman temporarily leads everyone to flee, as long as the noble person can save everyone, the old woman's life is at the disposal of the nobleman. "This old woman had heard from her own men that some of the nobles in the city liked to torture and kill slaves for fun. And along the way, only the noble man in front of him paid attention to them, they had no long things, and the only thing they had was this life, so the old woman thought of Tonggu and the noble man who tortured and killed slaves.

Tonggu didn't know the old woman's thoughts, and he was very puzzled by the old woman's expression. "I have a Zhuangzi, which is now idle, you go to farm for me, and I will provide you with food and shelter, how about it?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was dumbfounded, and even the Seventh Prince was surprised. But after thinking about it, the Seventh Prince felt that he was making a fuss, since he knew Tonggu, he had never seen Tonggu play cards according to common sense.

The old woman took a long time to react, and she knelt on the ground and cried loudly, "The noble people are gracious, and the untouchables will make grass rings and make cattle and horses for the nobles to repay you." Other villagers also knelt down one after another to kowtow to Tonggu.

Tonggu helped the old woman up and said, "Follow my carriage, and I will take you to the village." ”

"Yes." The woman answered with tears in her eyes.

Tonggu returned to the carriage and said to the Seventh Prince, "Can you let the carriage take me to the village first?" ”

The Seventh Prince nodded in agreement and asked the coachman to slow down to Zhuangzi. Then a pair of fox eyes turned and asked, "Where did you come from Zhuangzi?" ”

"I asked Huaxi to buy it. I earned some money, so I thought I would buy some Zhuangzi to grow some of my favorite food. The types of food in Yuguo are really barren, and I am tired of eating. Tonggu has not eaten peppers, eggplants, onions and other crops since she arrived in Yuguo, she has been thinking about finding an opportunity to find someone to plant some, and it just so happens that there are a lot of crop seeds in her nest. These seeds were given to her by the neighbors of the villa, and the neighbors of the villa were all old people who liked to grow vegetables, and they felt uncomfortable when they saw that the yard of the villa in Tonggu had been barren, and they tried their best to help Tonggu find a way to farm, and from time to time they sent some seeds to Tonggu, and the seeds accumulated over time slowly accumulated.

The Seventh Prince was confused, and asked suspiciously: "What else does Yu not have?" Although Nanqiong is a big planting country, the things they grow will be transported every day, and Yu has nothing to lose. ”

"Rare and weird. Peppers, eggplants, potatoes, loofahs, tomatoes, spinach, these are not available in Yu. Tonggu said that he usually wanted to eat, but he didn't eat anything.

The Seventh Prince didn't understand what Tonggu was saying at all, so he smiled awkwardly and said, "Then if you can really grow these things, why don't you give me a taste?" ”

"No problem, but seeing that winter is coming, we can only wait for next year." Tongya sighed.

Everyone met some victims along the way, and the team of victims was getting bigger and bigger, but fortunately, Tonggu let Huaxi buy a big Zhuangzi, and it was not a problem to live for two or three hundred people. The person in charge of the village was met in the slave market when Huaxi was in trouble, and this person was named Fan Zhong, who was in charge of some slaves in the slave market before. Huaxi was assigned to the jurisdiction of Fan Zhong that year. When he first arrived, Huaxi was seriously ill, Fan Zhong felt pity and bought medicine for Huaxi to treat the disease, which allowed Huaxi to pick up a life and come back. After Huaxi followed Tonggu, her life got better and better, so she paid to buy Fan Zhong's deed of sale. Tonggu met Fan Zhong and felt that Fan Zhong was an upright person, so he handed over the management of Zhuangzi to Fan Zhong. Fan Zhong is also a good person with good rewards, and his life is a hundred times stronger than before after arriving in Zhuangshang, although he is still empty for the time being, but his life is worry-free.

Fan Zhong saw Tonggu get out of the car, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Girl Fu'an." Then he said to the Seventh Prince: "Gongzi Gui'an." Although Fan Zhong didn't know the identity of the Seventh Prince, he could also see that he was a dignitary, and naturally the number of courtesies was indispensable.

Tonggu pointed to the displaced people behind him and said, "They are all victims of the disaster, and they will work on the Zhuangzi in the future, and you will arrange the errands." You can count the household registration in the past few days, and I will go back to the government to move their household registration. In addition, if there are any of these people who are sick with the plague, give them holy water. ”

Fan Zhong's face was embarrassed, and he stopped talking, but finally opened his mouth and said: "Girl, it's not a problem for these people to live in, but it's almost winter, and the crops can't be sown." It can be a little difficult to get with food, you see......"

Tonggu smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry about food, let Lingxu bring you food, clothes and supplies later, you don't have to worry." ”

"Yes." Fan Zhong responded and went to work on the victims. Fan Zhong was very organized, first finding the managers of each village, and then dividing Zhuangzi into several areas, each of which lived in one village. The houses in the area are allocated by the steward according to the number of family members, which improves the efficiency of the work a lot.

After Tonggu explained the matter, he left Zhuangzi with the Seven Princes, and the Seven Princes got along with Tonggu through this time, and had strange feelings for Tonggu, but he didn't know what emotions they were, but he felt comfortable with Tonggu.

"Tonggu, you helped me a lot today, how can I thank you?" The Seventh Prince looked at Tonggu with a pair of fox eyes.

Tonggu was very tired after a day of tossing, and he didn't supplement food after using his five senses, and now he is drowsy. "You and I don't have to be polite." Before the words fell, Tonggu fell asleep.

The Seventh Prince held Tonggu's body, gently put Tonggu's little head on his shoulder, and laughed unconsciously when he thought of the fact that Tonggu just said that you and I don't have to be polite.

The carriage stopped at the main gate of the Lei Mansion, and the Seven Princes carried Tonggu into the Lei Mansion. In the Yu Kingdom, this kind of bold behavior generally only exists between husband and wife, and will avoid others, but the Seven Princes have no scruples. Lei Taolu got a report from the porter that the Seven Princes had arrived at the mansion, and hurried to the front yard, but saw the scene of the Seventh Prince carrying Tonggu into the mansion. The old face was shocked, the scene was very embarrassing, and he was thinking about the relationship between Tonggu and the Seven Princes. The Seven Princes didn't even look at Lei Taolu, took the sleeping Tonggu into the Jueqian Courtyard, and left the Lei Mansion after explaining that the Lingxu sent things to Zhuangzi.

Lingxu didn't know where her girl had hidden the food, and Tonggu woke up from her sleep when she was in a dilemma. Tongya often dreams of the scene of his body exploding, and every time he is shocked into a cold sweat.

Lingxu entered the house and wiped Tonggu's sweat and said, "Girl, are you okay?" Why do you sweat so much? ”

After Tonggu sobered up, he remembered the matter of sending grain, so he explained to Lingxu and said: "Lingxu, you go to find two ox carts, and then send the grain to the village with Qian Yu." ”

"Yes." Lingxu went out of the house to hire a car.

Tong Gu took out twenty stones of grain, thirty catties of meat, and some melons and fruits from the space in the house. Through the purchase of a large amount of grain during this time, 10,000 stone of grain and all kinds of meat and fruits have been saved in the Tonggu space, which is enough for the whole family to eat for a lifetime.

The victims of the disaster in Zhuangzi have never eaten such fine grain on weekdays, and the meat can only be eaten a few times a year, and the melons and fruits have hardly been seen. Fan Zhong was also happy enough, he didn't expect that there would be so much food supply in a disaster year, he roughly calculated, these grains could be eaten for half a year. Add new clothes and daily necessities and other good items, and the Zhuangzi is just like the New Year.

Yu Chuniang and Yuji only returned to Jueqian Courtyard in the evening of the second day, and the two demons who had been sleepless were already in a state of excessive fatigue. Tonggu gave the two of them three days off to let the two demons rest, and the two demons were seriously overdrawn and slept for three days.

On this day, Shang Yishe came to Lei Mansion and Tonggu early to meet the monarch of Nanqiong Kingdom.

"Stinky girl, you have a lot of capable people, the Seventh Prince said that there are still talents under your hands who can detoxify Gu poison." Shang Yishe's narrow eyes flashed with curiosity.

"You're pretty well-informed." Tongya replied disapprovingly.

Shang Yishe continued to ask, "I heard that you also took in the victims and sent them twenty stones of grain?" ”

"That's the thing." Tongya replied nonchalantly.

"Where did you get so much food? Is there any food? Shang Yishe looked at Tonggu eagerly.

Tonggu was cold, and got goosebumps. "If you have something to say, don't be weird here."

"That...... The 3,000 stone of grain you deceived before has been used up, but there are still many people affected by the disaster, which is a drop in the bucket. And in my house, there may be no rice in the pot next month, and now I can't buy food anywhere, so I want to buy some food with you for the winter. Shang Yishe's expression was slightly embarrassed.

Tonggu was amused by Shang Yishe's appearance, and a pair of red eyes burst into tears. "This is easy to say, you find someone to come to my courtyard tomorrow to get 3,000 stones to use, and it will be a gift, and I don't want your money."

Shang Yishe was shocked, swallowed his saliva, stretched out three fingers and said, "I heard you right, right?" Three thousand stones? ”

"I thought about it for a while, three thousand stones will not work." Tongya touched his chin and pretended to think.

"I'll just say, how can you take out so much food." Shang Yishe rolled his eyes at Tonggu.

Tonggu kicked Shang Yishe and said, "I mean 3,000 stone is not enough for disaster relief, so I'll give you 7,000 stone." In this way, the victims will be able to have a good year. In addition, you can hand over to me the victims who come to the vicinity of the capital, and I have two Zhuangzi, and I can also take in six or seven hundred people. ”

Shang Yishe smiled dumbly, raised his hand and touched Tonggu's forehead and said, "Are you feverish?" Seven thousand stone grain? You've got hysteria, right? ”

Tonggu knocked Shang Yishe's hand away and said, "I'm not joking with you, you can pick it up tomorrow." ”

When Shang Yishe was speechless, the carriage arrived at the teahouse. Tonggu and Shangyi went to the best private room on the second floor of the teahouse, and saw a woman in eight Luo skirts sitting in the room with a cup of tea.

Shang Yishe and Tonggu exclaimed at the same time: "Why are you? The two looked at each other and said in unison, "Do you know her?" ”
