Chapter 15: The Outcast
That night, the oblique wind and drizzle, non-stop, Feng'e lay flat on the bed for a long time and couldn't sleep, and really responded to the sentence "A voice, a change, the light in the banana window outside the window, at this time infinite love, the dream is difficult to come true." In fact, Feng Eping doesn't have much to worry about in her heart, maybe it's just because she has been out for a long time, and she has been away from Ganji Island for more than two months, so she is a little worried, but she believes that Ganji Island is now presided over by the military advisor Xu Laodao and assisted by the four little kings, so there should be no problem. It's Min Kun, although Feng Eping has only known him for a short time, and he doesn't have too deep a friendship, and he himself left a message so that Feng Eping doesn't have to worry, but Feng Eping always feels that something is wrong, because Min Kun is here to find his fiancΓ©e's cousin, and there are no other acquaintances here, and he himself is injured, why should he risk going down the mountain alone? It's really puzzling.
The sky has gradually brightened, outside the house, the rain still keeps falling, dripping, the whole world has been damp, Feng E looked at the White Crane Lake in front of the house, misty and rainy, a swirling, hazy like a fairyland on earth, beautiful. Seeing this beautiful scenery, Feng E was in a good mood, and unconsciously, she picked up an umbrella and walked towards Baihe Lake.
The mountains are empty and the rain is new, and the White Crane Lake in the rain is really beautiful! A little rain falls on the surface of the lake to form a circle of fine lines, and in a blink of an eye it is replaced by new fine lines, and the cycle repeats, tirelessly, the surrounding mountains are also exceptionally green, and the air is filled with a refreshing atmosphere, which is very intoxicating.
"Eping, come back quickly!" The father stood at the door, seeing Feng Eping standing by the lake with an umbrella in a daze, so he shouted loudly, after all, it was raining outside, it was early in the morning, and the temperature was still a little cold.
Feng Eping began to walk home with an umbrella, and as soon as she entered the house, her father said, "You girl! How old are they, they are still like children, windy and rainy, standing outside without fear of the wind and cold! β
"Daddy! It's okay, just for a moment, it's so easy to get sick from the cold! I just saw that Baihe Lake was so beautiful when it rained, and I wanted to feel it for myself, really, the rain was really different, especially beautiful! Feng Eping said a little playfully, she really looked like a little girl who was not in the world.
At this time, my father also smiled and said, "You like rain so much? β
Feng Eping nodded with a smile, "Isn't it good to rain occasionally?" The air is fresh, and strolling in the rain is also a special flavor! β
"Occasionally? I'm telling you, it's not going to be 'occasional' now, it's raining! Stop and stop, there will be no sunny weather in ten days and half a month! Father's words made Feng Eping stunned. What the? Dad, do you mean that this rain will rain for ten days and half a month? β
"In the Huangmei season, it rains at home, and the grass pond is full of frogs, and now it's 'into the plum'! It's going to rain for a while. Father replied.
When her father said this, Feng Eping was dumbfounded, although it was good to rain, but if it lasted for the next ten days, it would be a suffocating rhythm, and she couldn't go anywhere, and it was inconvenient to do anything.
It turns out that my father was right, this rain fell for four or five days, although it stopped halfway, but it didn't take long for it to be dripping and ticking down, which was really tireless! It seems that the "rainy season" is really true that the "mildew rain" is really true, and the rain has fallen in the past few days, and the whole world is wet as if it is about to become moldy, which makes people really depressed!
On this day, the long-lost sun finally showed a blurred face, and Feng Eping and her father were going to the town to buy rice.
"Oops! It's been raining for so many days, and the rice at home is going to run out! Father quipped.
"yes, if it rains again, you'll have to buy it! Fortunately, I finally stopped today, just in time to go out, I want to go out for a walk, I'm almost suffocated these days! Feng Eping said
When Feng Eping and her father walked to the town, they found that there were a lot of homeless people in the town, all of them were ragged, with yellow faces and thin muscles, and some even squatted in the corner with a bowl and began to beg, but they didn't look like beggars, and it was impossible for so many beggars to appear in the town at once, so when my father was buying rice, he asked the people in the rice shop by the way, "Boss, why are there so many homeless people on this street today?" What the hell is going on? β
The owner of the rice shop said: "The guest officials don't know, they are all disaster victims!" β
"Disaster victims?"
"Yes! It's all rain! β
Hearing what the boss of the rice shop said, Feng Eping became puzzled and said, "Boss, what do you mean when you say that these homeless people are harmed by the rain?" Isn't it raining for a few days? Besides, the rain is not heavy, how can there be so many victims all of a sudden? β
The owner of the rice shop said: "I said this girl, don't you know, although we have just entered the plum for a few days, the rain is not heavy, but these victims are said to be from Yugan, it is said that Yugan has been raining heavily some time ago, the water level of Poyang Lake has risen sharply, many people's houses have been washed away by the water, so they fled in all directions, so there are so many refugees in our town, it is really ruthless, pitiful!" β
But what are they going to do when they flee here? Don't we care about our local officials? You can't let them beg down the streets! Feng Eping said eagerly.
"I don't know! But I don't think I will ignore it when I come to the government! It's just that I don't know what the government will do with it, after all, there are so many people, and this thing is not easy to handle. β
After the owner of the rice shop finished speaking, Feng Eping and the others finally understood what happened, looking at the crowds of displaced people on the street, Feng Eping felt really uncomfortable, but she didn't know what to do? I don't know how I can help them.
"Daddy! What should we do with so many displaced people who have fled to the country, all in tatters and without anything to eat? Why don't you say the government cares? Feng Eping looked at the refugees on the street who were in urgent need of help, and was really anxious.
"Don't worry! Eping, there are too many refugees, and it is useless for us to be anxious, and only by relying on the government to find a way to help them get through the difficulties. β
"However, seeing them wandering the streets like this, some of them can't start begging, and it seems that the government hasn't come up with any good methods, otherwise they wouldn't have just left them here and ignored!"
At this time, his father suddenly said to Feng Eping: "Eping, you take this rice home first, I will go to a friend's house in the town to inquire about the situation, this friend has something to do with the government, presumably he should know some news!" β
"Okay! Dad, then you go back quickly, I'll go home first! After Feng Eping finished speaking, she saw her father striding towards the street in front of her, and it could be seen that her father was also very anxious at this time.
