Under Yang Yun's rectification, Pengjiazhai will no longer attack the neighboring counties, and its reputation has gradually improved, and even many homeless people have come to visit, as long as they are not traitors, they will be accepted.

However, I don't know why, the security of Dong'a has deteriorated, and there are often some scattered horse thieves or deserters around, robbing passing caravans and homeless people, and even once in the middle of the night, more than 100 wanderers appeared at the West Gate, trying to attack the city gate.

Although he was scared away by the indiscriminate shooting of the county lieutenant who reacted, the psychological pressure on the county people was very great, and Yang Yun had heard more than once that people were talking about leaving Dong'e and going south, to Puyang or Chenliu, which was closer to Sili and safer.

Li Manying also quietly asked him about this topic, but Yang Yun couldn't leave because of Pengjiazhai, and he was not worried about the two sisters and brothers leaving, so he simply let them stay here, which was really not good, and he could also send them to Pengjiazhai.

Fortunately, the Xue family doesn't seem to have any intention of leaving, Li Tiezhu can continue to listen to classes in their mansion, Yang Yun and Li Manying will send Li Tiezhu to attend classes in the morning, and then take him home in the evening, let him bring a few pork knuckles to hide in his arms at noon, and take a few bites when he is hungry, and he will be over.

Some left, some came, and the number of displaced people in the city gradually increased, and they did not want to produce, most of them crowded in front of the door of large households, hung a sign, sold their sons and daughters, and sold their own is also common.

Children with good faces and clean clothes will be favored by large families, whether they are domestic servants or stepchildren, and they often send a few bags of brown rice to get a thousand thanks from each other's parents.

The rest, lucky enough to be sold to the land of customs, although they lost their bodies, they were able to make do with it. There is chaos outside, although Dong'e is not like Puyang City, but there are always some rich people, who are used to eating family food, they always have to find a few wild flowers, change the taste, and adjust it.

If you are unlucky, after a few days, there will be a few more white bones on the street or at the root of the wall, which will be loaded into a carriage by the county officials and thrown out of the city, even if you have finished your life.

Whenever he passed by the road in front of Xue's mansion, Yang Yun would feel pity, but he no longer dared to give alms.

I still remember that time, Li Manying happened to have mutton on her body, which was the leftover leg of mutton she had eaten before, she was reluctant to throw it away, so she used a knife to cut off the residual meat from the bones, hung it in the yard, and made it into jerky.

Walking into the street in front of Xue's mansion, she saw for the first time a crowd of beggars lying on the ground with men, women and children, so she couldn't bear it, so she took out the jerky in her arms and wanted to hand it to the nearest girl.

Unexpectedly, her action seemed to stab a hornet's nest, and all the beggars on the street surrounded her, and the little girl was hungry for a few days, how could she still have the strength, and she didn't have time to stuff the jerky into her mouth, so she was snatched away by others.

Not long after the person who snatched it was happy, he was knocked to the ground by another person, and the jerky was also snatched away.

Gradually, the whole street fell into chaos for a small piece of jerky, fighting, trampling, Yang Yun saw the little girl before, in the crowd, I don't know who pushed her, hit her forehead against the wall, and fainted.

A few beggars saw that they couldn't grab it, so they aimed at Li Manying, and rushed over with hideous eyes, but Yang Yun lifted his foot and kicked it out more than ten meters away. When the other beggars saw this, they shrank their heads, cut off the thought, and focused their attention on the jerky in the hands of one of the beggars.

That day, Li Tiezhu was absent from class, and Yang Yun escorted him and Li Manying home.

Later, I heard that the riot became bigger and bigger, and it was not until the county officials and the Xue family's soldiers were dispatched to kill a few thorns that the riot gradually subsided.

According to the later count, more than a dozen people died in the riot, most of them women and children who had no power to fight back. As for the cause of the riots, no one pursued them, and the beggar, if he died, he died, and naturally he couldn't get into the eyes of those adults.

However, Yang Yun thought of a lot of jokes and told a lot of stories, so that Li Manying broke free from self-blame and laughed. When she passed the street in front of Xue's Mansion again, even if she bit her lip, she no longer gave food easily.

In the days that followed, Yang Yun didn't go out much except to pick up Li Tiezhu, sometimes helping Li Manying do housework, sometimes hiding in the house, leaving the things that flashed in his memory from time to time on the paper, sometimes Yan Ping came, and he heard him say some things in the village, mainly about the blacksmith shop, Yan Ping knew that he cared about this.

On this day, after noon, Li Tiezhu unexpectedly did not go to the class, grabbed a chicken leg in his hand, and ate happily.

After these days of supplementing nutrition, he has no longer regained his thin appearance, he can lift the five-pound stone lock with one hand, and he has grown taller, almost to the position of Li Manying's chin, his eyes are deep and resolute, and he is not like the wooden and sloppy appearance in the past.

"Tiezhu, is that really what Sir said?" Li Manying looked at Li Tiezhu, who was full of oil and water, and was still a little suspicious.

Li Tiezhu nodded and took a bite of chicken: "Yes, he said yesterday that he was going to visit a friend, so he won't be in class today." ”

"Oh."

Li Manying glanced at him and didn't continue to ask, Li Tiezhu's change was obvious, if she had changed before, she would have asked the bottom of the question.

At this time, a gentle voice came from outside the courtyard: "Hello, is this Li Tiezhu's house?" ”

Yang Yun looked out, but he didn't know it, it was a middle-aged man in a Confucian shirt.

However, Li Manying saw that it was a "ah", quickly put down the things in her hand, and greeted her: "Mr. Zhongde." ”

"Miss Li." Mr. Zhongde laughed, "When I see you, I know I'm in the right place." ”

"Sir, why are you here?"

Over there, Li Tiezhu also saw the person clearly, put down the chicken leg in his hand, ran to the sink to wash his hands first, and then ran over happily.

It turned out to be Mr. Xue Fu, Yang Yun also stood up and walked over there, but there was a little strange in his heart, Li Tiezhu said that he went to visit a friend and didn't know what he was doing here.

"Iron Pillar." Mr. Zhongde rubbed Li Tiezhu's hair and explained to Li Manying first: "I really have something to do today, so Xuefu's class was suspended for a day. ”

Hearing what Mr. said, Li Manying breathed a sigh of relief, she really thought so just now, thinking that Li Tiezhu lied to her, and Mr. came over to ask the teacher.

"And sir, this is passing by?"

Mr. Zhongde smiled and asked instead of answering, "Don't you invite me in and sit?" ”

"Ah, look at me." Li Manying hurriedly opened the door and invited him in, "Tiezhu, go and pour a glass of water for Mr." ”

"Okay."

Looking at Li Tiezhu's busy figure, Mr. Zhongde smiled with relief: "Tiezhu has changed a lot recently, not only listening carefully in class, but also often drawing inferences, and sometimes the arguments he says are even ashamed of me, Mr. ”

"Really? I knew the iron pillar would work. Li Manying laughed happily, but she didn't laugh a few times before she came to her senses, and said embarrassedly to Mr. Zhongde, "No, no, thank you for your teaching." ”

"Don't thank me, I didn't teach him anything." Mr. Zhongde waved his hand and moved his gaze to Yang Yun, "I heard that he has an elder brother and often tells him some stories. In my spare time, I also let the iron pillar tell me to listen, and many of the stories are really thought-provoking. ”

"Ahem."

Yang Yun was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the gentleman of the Xue Mansion was actually here specifically for himself, so he didn't dare to put on a score, so he hurriedly arched his hand: "The main thing is the credit of the gentleman." In Xia Yang Yun, the word Qiming. ”

These days, he thought of a word for himself, Qiming, which is Yang Qiming, his father's name.

"Cheng Yu, the word Zhongde."

Hearing this name, the corners of Yang Yun's eyes jumped imperceptibly, but because he had seen Dian Wei before, he quickly returned to normal: "Mr. Zhongde, please take a seat, you came to me on purpose today?" ”

"Not bad."

After Cheng Yu sat down, he saw the roast chicken on the table, and shook his head exaggeratedly: "You guys, it's really extravagant, I've been in the Xue family for so many years, and I've never seen them eat meat at noon." ”

"It's Brother Yang Yun who said, eat good breakfast, eat full lunch, and eat less dinner." At this time, Li Tiezhu also poured the water and said with a straight look, "At noon, it costs a lot to listen to lectures in the morning, and I have to continue to listen to lectures in the afternoon, so my body needs to supplement a lot of nutrients." ”

Cheng Yu became interested, glanced at Yang Yun, and asked curiously, "Is it?" What about breakfast and dinner? ”

"Breakfast is because I have consumed everything I ate last night, so I need to replenish my nutrition in time. And at night we go to bed after eating, and consume less, so we need to eat less. ”

"Consumption? Sounds reasonable. ”

Cheng Yu heard this theory for the first time, and he couldn't refute it, so he had to pick up the water to hide his embarrassment.

It's just that when he took his first sip of water, he pursed his lips and quickly took another sip.

The well water slid into the esophagus like sweetness, Cheng Yu looked down at the tea bowl, as if he had discovered a new world, and asked in surprise: "This water seems to be different from what I usually drink, so clear?" ”

"Yes, this was invented by Brother Yang Yun."

Cheng Yu watched Li Tiezhu draw water from the well, first poured it into a bamboo tube, and then used a tea bowl to catch the water flowing from the bottom of the bamboo tube.

"However, this water is not yet drinkable, Brother Yang Yun said that he can only drink it after it is boiled, so as to kill the little insects in the water."

"Little bugs?"

"Yes, Brother Yang Yun said, there are a lot of small insects in the water that we can't see, so we will have diarrhea when we drink it, and if it is serious, we will get plague."

"The plague?" Cheng Yu's expression was originally very relaxed, like an ordinary teacher's return visit, but after hearing the word plague, he instantly changed his face and asked solemnly, "That's how Qiming views the plague?" Qiming ...... Don't mind if I call you that, do you? ”

"Don't mind." Yang Yun smiled, but he was a little embarrassed in his heart.

Looking at Cheng Yu's appearance, he is over half a hundred years old, and he looks like an old pedant in later generations, if he is honest, he is afraid that he will treat himself as a heretic and be tied to a wooden frame and burned to death.

But not to tell the truth......

Yang Yun glanced at him again, it was rare to meet a celebrity in history, if he didn't use the knowledge of later generations to pretend to be a person, wouldn't it be in vain?
