Chapter 393: Saving people is the way
In this world, there is a thing called righteousness! As Wen Xianggong said, heaven and earth have righteousness, and mixed manifolds. The lower part is the river mountain, and the upper part is the sun star.
This breath can't be seen, can't be touched, most people don't have it, after all, everyone has to eat, drink, Lazar, eat grains, everyone has to beg for a living, and the backbone has been bent by the hardships of life.
However, this breath, Fang Jifan has.
He was a moral man.
Traveling west for three days, day and night, the good physique that the Xishan students have cultivated in their daily life finally showed their full exposure at this time, they have suffered hardship, even if they are just gnawing on the hardest dry food, their lips are chapped, they run for seventy or eighty miles day and night, sleeping in the open air, and no one has any complaints.
It's not that there are no complaints, it's that I'm used to it.
At the beginning, they were also people who carried a big bag.
What's more, they are in good health now, and it doesn't matter if they suffer from this.
But Fang Jifan was a little unbearable, and the bumps along the way, his bones seemed to be falling apart.
Tang Yin saw that his teacher's face was pale, so he took advantage of the rest to make a sedan chair all night...... No, in poor conditions, this is more like a stretcher!
So much so that early the next morning, Tang Yin's head was dizzy, he sat on the horse, and almost fell down.
For this kind of special treatment, Fang Jifan refused in his heart, but he couldn't stand the bitter pleading of the five protégés, which made Fang Jifan very emotional, when he came to this world, the most regrettable thing is to have these five filial protégés.
Life is like this, what more can a husband ask for.
He sat on the soft shelf, and Shen Ao carried him a few times.
Continue all the way west!
In the blink of an eye, it was to Shanxi and Lingqiu County!
Lingqiu County is at the junction of Shanxi and Beizhili, 400 miles away from Beijing, there are many soil and rocks in the territory, and the peaks are continuous.
In fact, the landslide is not terrible, but the real terrible thing is that after the landslide, between these countless mountains, because of the changes in the earth's crust, the mountains are unstable and the river is diverted.
Think about how terrible it is to think that those originally stable mountains suddenly changed, and countless boulders fell from the sky, and the river that broke its banks was diverted and rushed into the populated area.
In the county seat, it is already a country, and people have to move to the suburbs, but the mountains in the high places can collapse at any time, and there is a loud noise, and countless people are buried in the rocks.
The road has been completely destroyed, which means that even if the imperial court provides relief, no one can transport food into it under the geographical environment at this time, not to mention that after the catastrophe, there are unburied corpses everywhere, and the epidemic will spread at any time.
Soon after entering Lingqiu County, everyone found that the official road had been destroyed to the point that it could not be seen, the river that burst the embankment directly overflowed an official road, and the boulders that fell down on the mountain blocked the way.
The team experienced an aftershock, only suddenly, the earth trembled, and at the two streams, the trees and huge mud blocks fell into the air, and a large boulder almost hit Shen Ao in front of the team.
Shen Ao was so frightened that his face was as pale as paper, and he almost ...... Pee.
The horses under the seat, restlessly plowing the ground, are estimated to ...... Also scared to pee.
Fear began to spread, Shen Ao was afraid of death, he hadn't married a daughter-in-law yet, he hadn't passed on the lineage, and the other students were also panicked one by one.
Wang Shouren had a cold face and said with a cold expression: "Get off the horse to open the way, clear the road, we have horses and food, and we are all young and strong, and that's it." Think about how many people are hungry and helpless after these countless mud and stones, what is the Tao, and saving people at the moment is the Tao. ”
As he spoke, he took the lead in dismounting himself, stepping on the mud, and not caring about anything, he began to dig up the rocks that stood in front of him with a hoe.
Shen Ao and the other students, looking at the body that was already busy, rushed forward in shock.
Fang Jifan was also taken aback, the aftermath of the collapse made him roll over directly, his face changed, at this time, he couldn't help but have a little regret, it turned out that when the danger was really displayed in front of his eyes, it was the most terrifying! Suddenly, I also understood why there is a so-called righteous saying, and there is such a sentence that a gentleman does not stand a dangerous wall!
But...... There was only one man, his face was expressionless, his eyes were focused.
Even before the landslide, the earth trembled, but there was no fear.
Ouyang Zhi raised his head and looked at the mountain that seemed to have completely collapsed, and after a long time, he dismounted and carried a hoe...... Clearing.
Many people, who seem to have been infected by Wang Shouren and Ouyang Zhi, suddenly have courage.
Everyone rushed forward, there was experience in opening stones and building dams, the students were very good at this, a basket of rocks poured directly into the mountain stream, soon, a path was cleared out, they also deliberately carried out some reinforcement, in order to follow up the people who transported grain from the West Mountain can easily pass through here.
But everyone's heart is still uneasy, this is just the beginning, what will greet them in front of them? I don't know!
The team continued to move forward, and after a short walk, there was a village.
Nearly half of the village was flooded, and in the turbid water, floating corpses occasionally floated over, and the floating corpses were already swollen, and Shen Ao and the others wanted to vomit when they saw it from afar.
But when they saw the surviving living people, they inexplicably began to feel that everything was worth it.
Those who have lost everything, after a few days of disaster, must have been frantically looking for their relatives, but later, the food is gone, they are trapped here, in a dilemma, slowly numb, a woman seems to be constantly cleaning up a broken wall, the villagers on one side of the bitter advice: "Don't dig, it's been a few days, you must not live." ”
More people numbly looked at these talented 'masters' wearing scarves and Confucian shirts.
These ragged men had a great respect for scholars, but after the disaster, the gentry of the local village, with their famous sons and mothers-in-law, fled without a trace for the first time.
In the face of disaster, all morality is destroyed.
At this time, Wang Shouren said: "Send a few people to patrol around here with swords, and the rest of the people, divide some dry food and go down, Luo Cheng, you inquire about what other villages are nearby, and go to the front to explore." ”
Wang Shouren has studied the art of war for many years, and in the face of such an urgent situation, he has an innate calmness.
The students were also accustomed to obeying the orders of the master, and then began to put down some dry food carried by mules and horses, and distributed some food to the villagers.
Wang Shouren continued to instruct: "You have to search if there is a cellar nearby, maybe there is grain in it." ”
"Wang Bichen, you go to the east and see what the water is there..."
Shen Ao and the others, all the way away, were already exhausted and out of breath, the victims got food, and hesitantly glanced at these strange readers, and their numb eyes began to shine.
After distributing the steamed cakes to the villagers, Shen Ao also sat down tiredly, he was also very hungry, took out his steamed cakes, opened his cheeks, and was about to put the steamed cakes into his stomach.
Beside him, an old man who had already received dry food and ate it in one bite stared at him, his eyes glowing green.
I haven't eaten water and rice for two days, although I have a bite to eat, but this mouthful of dry food makes his stomach feel as if it is burning, so he pursed his shriveled lips, but he didn't dare to approach, looking at these uninvited guests with gratitude in his eyes, and more often, he stared at Shen Ao's steamed cakes and salivated.
Shen Ao took a bite to feel more comfortable, felt this gaze, and looked at the old man in ragged clothes who didn't dare to approach in the distance.
He frowned and looked down at the steamed cake in his hand, even if it was them, the rations were not enough, they couldn't be eaten openly, the physical exertion was too great, he tried his best to make himself hard-hearted, and took another bite, this bite down, Shen Ao's eyes were red, and suddenly in the case of being extremely hungry, this delicious ration suddenly became difficult to swallow.
After chewing hard and taking a sip of water, he hesitated for a moment, and finally tore off half of the remaining steamed cake and handed it to the old man.
The old man shook his head and said in a grunting accent, "Don't dare, don't dare." ”
Shen Ao continued to stuff the steamed cakes into his hand, patted his bag and said, "I still have a lot." ”
Only then did the old man feel relieved, took the steamed cakes, devoured them, and ate them, but he shed tears: "My son is dead, and the ...... is starving to death" He whimpered: "If I had met the benefactors earlier, I might not have died." ”
Shen Ao sniffed, didn't dare to look at the old man, and suddenly had a feeling of self-embarrassment.
When he was in Xishan, he always felt that the days in Xishan were very hard, really bitter, to practice, to study, to cultivate, to carry a big bag, to eat mashed potatoes, and occasionally to eat porpoise, but now, he found that in this world, there is no lower limit to suffering.
Every bite of indescribable liquid, every bite of meat, every plate of fragrant mashed potatoes, including dried potatoes and other snacks that I eat in Xishan, maybe here, you can make a desperate situation and be able to live bouncing.
Shen Ao was eating, while trying to wave away those pictures that should not be thought of in his mind, after eating half a cake, his stomach was still uncomfortable, and he felt that he couldn't relieve his hunger, and the old man was still babbling: "It's just a mouthful of food, it's just a mouthful of ......."
The old man seemed to have dried up his tears and muttered to himself.
And in the distance, Shen Ao and the others saw the woman who was still digging in the ruins of the broken arm, the woman didn't have much strength, her eyes were blank, but she was digging very seriously, and she refused to give up, someone handed her dry food, she was unkempt, she could hardly see her face, but she didn't hesitate, she didn't grateful, just took it, swallowed it in one gulp, and then continued to dig something in the ruins.
"This woman is pitiful, her husband is dead, the body was found the day before yesterday, and her son is still under the house, eight or nine is dead, eh......"
