After the flood, Yuncheng was in a depression. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the street, many homeless refugees whose homes were destroyed by the flood sat on the ground in groups of three and five in circles.
When he saw someone who was coming, he hurriedly rushed forward and begged.
At this time, a kind girl came with a basket of baked cakes, ready to satisfy the hunger of these poor people.
However, when the little girl took out a pancake and handed it to a child in tattered clothes, everyone who saw it swarmed around her, and in an instant snatched the pancake from the girl's basket, and even the basket was snatched away.
The girl was so frightened that she hurriedly shouted for help.
Seeing this, the passing patrol team directly stepped forward with weapons and beat people whenever they met, and in an instant, there were cries and cries for mercy everywhere.
Many people had blood flowing from their faces and bodies.
Everyone was pushed aside, trembling and squatting together, looking at the fierce patrolmen with hungry and cold eyes, their eyes full of fear.
The girl was in no mood to bother with these people anymore, and trotted away.
The vicious patrol then left.
When everyone saw the patrol walk away, they checked each other's injuries one by one.
At this time, a young refugee who had just entered the city today said to the people around him: "I heard that there is a timely rain Song Gongming in Yuncheng County, who is righteous and squanders money, and is kind to the poor, why don't I wait to go to him to ask for some food!" ”
When the people around heard this, they first rose with a hint of joy, and then they bowed their heads and were silent, with endless helplessness on their faces.
The young refugee who spoke looked around, and saw that none of them were interested in what he said, a little helpless, and a little angry.
There was a place to beg for food, but the people did not go to it, because they had to starve here.
"Hmph, if you don't go, I'll go by myself. Just go on starving here! As he spoke, the young man stood up and wanted to leave.
At this time, an old man with a white beard on the side grabbed the young man and said, "Young man, you better not go!" ”
"Huh? Why is that? People in the world are saying that Song Gongming of Yuncheng is a good man, helping the needy, relieving people in danger, and being called timely rain. I'm in dire need of relief right now, why can't I go? The young man said.
"Little brother, you don't understand!" The old man shook his head.
"What's the matter, is there anything else going on here?" Young people humbly ask for advice.
The old man looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "It's not a big deal, then Song Gongming is indeed called timely rain, but people are saving some heroes and capable people." What are you capable of, little brother? ”
"This ...... I, I have all the strength, as long as I am fed, I promise to be able to do the work of several people. The young man thought for a moment, said, and raised his arm to demonstrate.
"Hehe, what kind of skill is this, everyone here has a lot of strength. However, do you know how to use knives and guns, and do you have a certain reputation in the rivers and lakes? The point is this, as long as you have these, then you have to go, otherwise I advise you not to go, so as not to go with hope and disappointment. The old man struck.
"This ...... Can't he give me some gruel? "The young man does not give up.
"Alas, two days ago, he gave a day's glee, but the next day the news came out that his family is basically out of food now, and he can't continue to give alms, so he also came out to make amends to everyone in person!" The old man sighed.
"Although he is a good person, there are too many refugees, and no matter how hard he tries, it is useless."
"I see, so are we hungry? Does the government ignore us? "The young man does not give up.
"Official? Ha ha...... How many governments are there now for our people? Hmph, they eat their own delicacies from the mountains and seas, how many officials care about us ordinary people? The old man sighed.
"Then you will follow ......"
Before the young man could finish his sentence, he was covered by an older man next to him and pressed to the ground.
"What do you want to say?" That's humane.
"I, I think they are really pitiful, and I want them to go to Liangshan with us." The young man lowered his head and whispered.
"Hmph, do you know that we have a mission to come in this time, do you want to make all the arrangements of the eldest brother go to waste? You must know that once exposed, not only will the task not be completed, but the brothers will also have to worry about their lives! The man said sternly.
"Yes, Captain, I was wrong!" The young man lowered his head and whispered.
"Alright, don't make a noise now, and when you go back, you can wait to be punished! The special combat team is our Liangshan's ace unit, and there can't be the slightest mistake, do you understand? "It's called the captain's humanity.
"Yes! I understand. The young man said quietly but firmly.
"Okay, let's keep lurking." The captain whispered.
Immediately, he turned his head to the strange gazes cast around him, and said softly: "My brother is young and ignorant, and he is foolish, so don't take it to heart." As he spoke, he made a circle to everyone, and then squatted on the ground since ancient times and stopped talking.
"Hmph, if you want me to say, we'll go to the Timely Rain Mansion......" said the young man.
"You also said, sit there obediently for me, otherwise don't blame me for not thinking about brotherhood." The captain glared.
"Sit down, why are you so angry." The young man sat down and said no more.
"Hehe, that's right, instead of running around, it's better to stay here quietly and recuperate, I heard that the disaster relief food sent by the imperial court is about to arrive, and when the time comes, we will have some to eat." If you run around and digest it quickly, you may not be able to make up for the relief food. Then the old man laughed.
"Hehe, the old man taught me a lesson." The young man is polite and authentic.
"Well, the children can be taught! Ha ha! The old man laughed loudly.
"Dare to ask the old man's surname, if it wasn't for the old man just now, I might have followed my brother and ran away for nothing." The man who was called the captain by the young man, listening to the old man's words, did not look like an ordinary country man, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Hehe, the little old man is just a teacher, he once wanted to serve the country, but his luck was not good, and he failed to win several times, but fortunately there were a few acres of thin fields at home, which could make a living, but it was washed away by the flood. Alas...... As for the old man's cheap name, don't mention it. ”
The old man said with a smile, and finally, he looked at the person who was called the captain and said, "Forgive the old man for being presumptuous, the two are not like ordinary refugees, I don't know who they are?" ”
"Hehe, uncle, you are mistaken, we are indeed fishermen from this Shijie Village, and we have no background." The captain said in fear.
"Haha, since you don't want to say it, I won't ask, but when you act, don't hurt the innocent!" The old man smiled as if he had not intended it.
