The girl apologized, and the misunderstanding was resolved.

Qin Qiong breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly followed, and asked, "Is the ration gone?" ”

"Alas......" The girl sighed heavily, shook her head, and asked embarrassedly, "I didn't throw it at you, did I?" ”

"Nope!"

Getting closer, Qin Qiong saw the girl's appearance clearly. Simple, delicate, the eyes are not very big, but crooked, charming, very good-looking. It's just that the crying is a little swollen, which makes people feel pity.

Seeing Qin Qiong paying attention to herself, the girl's face turned red, and she quickly turned around and walked away to help the middle-aged man check the seedlings.

Qin Qiong hesitated and followed. took out the money bag on his body and gently placed it at the feet of the two of them. "Use this money to sell some rations."

Qin Qiong's kindness actually angered the middle-aged man. The man grabbed the money bag and threw it at Qin Qiong.

"I don't want money, I want my wheat!"

I had never seen such a stubborn and unsympathetic person, Qin Qiong shook her head helplessly.

Never mind.

Having done his best to be benevolent and righteous, Qin Qiong put the money bag in a conspicuous place, summoned Shi A, and prepared to go on the road.

"Wait."

The girl persuaded the middle-aged man and chased after him.

"Thank you, you're a good person."

Qin Qiong smiled slightly.

The girl raised her head and said sincerely: "Don't blame Uncle, his hard work has been ruined......"

With that, the girl's tears couldn't stop flowing.

Painstaking effort?

Qin Qiong and Shi A glanced at each other, it was just wheat and seedlings, and the money Qin Qiong left was enough to last for a few months, so not?

"Uncle...... It's not for ...... for himself," the more the girl said, the more sad she became, "He is ...... for the people of the world"

So serious?

Qin Qiong wanted to comfort the girl, but he really didn't have this kind of experience. Facing the sobbing girl, Qin Qiong was at a loss......

……

The girl began to tell the story of the middle-aged man......

The middle-aged man is called Jia Sixian, a native of Qingzhou.

Dong Zhuo rebelled and moved the people of Luoyang to Chang'an, and Jia Siqian came to this small valley.

Jia Siqian was a little weird. When I first came to Luoyang, I went to a nearby village to gather when I had nothing to do, squatted on the edge of other people's wheat fields, and touched and pinched wheat stalks and ears from time to time.

At the beginning. He was often regarded as a grain thief by the people, and he was beaten for this.

Later, when the people saw him only looking and touching, and not stealing, they saw that others were easy-going. Only then did he allow him to look and touch casually on the ground. The locals called him Mr. Qingzhou.

Later, Jia Siqian often used some novel methods to guide the people to farm, and achieved good results, and the people gradually began to respect him.

Jia Siqian also planted a few plots of land in the valley. However, he farmed differently from others, and when he had nothing to do, he tossed the seedlings. The people saw that he was strange. changed his title to Mr. Qingzhou Monster.

Later, everyone learned that he was researching new varieties with higher yields, resistance to diseases and insects, and less prone to lodging.

The people have been farming for generations, and no one has ever seen the kind of wheat he spoke of, and no one believed him.

The girl smiled: "At first, I didn't believe it. ”

Qin Qiong wanted to ask the girl what her surname was, but she was too embarrassed to speak. Shi Ah Cai didn't care, and asked, "Girl, what's your name?" ”

The girl blushed and lowered her head. whispered to Qin Qiong: "My surname is Chang." ”

Somehow, Qin Qiong's face turned red.

"Miss Chang often comes to help Mr. Jia?"

"My husband only knows how to ponder wheat, and often forgets to eat, so I just help him bring some food."

"Miss Chang is kind-hearted."

Qin Qiong's praise. Miss Chang was shy, but also with a hint of excitement, and said: "Last year, the yield of wheat planted by Mr. increased by nearly two percent!" ”

"Huh? Twenty percent! ”

If it is in the entire territory of the Han Dynasty, all wheat is planted. A two-percent increase in production means millions more people can be fed!

"Yes, Mr. said, it is possible to increase by 30% this year, and in a few years, it may increase by 50%!"

"No......" Qin Qiong couldn't believe it.

"But......" Miss Chang's eyes turned red again, "However, the seeds left by Mr. were snatched away by the thieves as food......"

No wonder Jia Siqian almost cried crazy for some wheat, the seeds he cultivated were not as simple as planting a few acres of land, and the successful research could save the lives of thousands of people! It's priceless!

Although Qin Qiong is already a general of the state, his chivalrous heart will never be extinguished.

"Miss Chang, there are often bandits around here?"

"There used to be a lot, but now it's ...... There shouldn't be any......" For some reason, when the girl said this, her face turned red again, and she suddenly frowned and stood up. "I'm in trouble...... Gotta go first......"

……

Qin Qiong and Shi A left the small valley and continued on their way.

Along the way, Qin Qiong's expression was serious and she didn't say a word.

Shi A had never seen Second Brother Qin so serious, and couldn't help but speak: "Second Brother, I think this second sister-in-law is a little unreliable. ”

Qin Qiong rarely ignored him, perhaps because she didn't hear him say anything at all.

"Second brother, when you asked about the bandit just now, that girl's expression was a little strange!"

"Let's go! Go to Valley City! Qin Qiong threw down a sentence and left after hitting the horse.

Gucheng, west of Luoyang.

Although the prosperity of the past is no longer there, because it is on the main road from Luoyang to Hangu Pass, there are many people coming and going.

Qin Qiong hit his horse and came to the outside of the city, did not enter the city, looked around, put his finger in his mouth, and blew a loud whistle!

The whistle is sharp and lasts for a long time......

Qin Qiong jumped off the horse and stretched out his hand to Shi A. "Money!"

Shi A hurriedly took out the money bag and handed it over.

Qin Qiong took out a few five-baht coins, took out a knife, and engraved strange symbols on it.

At this time, from inside and outside the city, seven or eight ragged children, all of whom were not yet ten years old, came running.

"Come here."

Although the children didn't know Qin Qiong, they didn't hesitate at all and ran over.

Qin Qiong gave each child a coin engraved with a mark, took out some money, and divided a few pieces each. The children carried the five-baht coin in their arms, held the marked coin in their hands, and ran in all directions, whistling as they went.

Shi Ah opened his mouth and looked stunned. Although he is not a person in the rivers and lakes, after the collapse of the Shi family, he has been wandering outside for a few years, and he also has some insight.

Could it be that this is the legendary "Heroic Order"?

The Hero Order, also known as the Jianghu Order and the Copper Coin Order, is a means of urgently calling for help on the rivers and lakes.

Give the marked copper coin to the street child, and run in all directions, whistling to find the people in the nearby rivers and lakes.

People in the rivers and lakes, when they hear the whistle and see the mark engraved on the copper coin, they know who issued the signal.

If the person who issued the heroic order has enough fame in the rivers and lakes, the heroes of the rivers and lakes, regardless of whether they know each other or not, may show up to help.

And if the reputation of the hair is very poor, not only will no one come to help, but it may even attract enemies.

Heroic orders can be issued by anyone, but only heroic orders issued by real heroes will be corresponded and helped.

The heroic order represents the identity of the rivers and lakes, and also represents the morality of the rivers and lakes. Unless you are in great trouble, you will never use it.

Second Brother Qin actually issued a heroic order, what is this for?

Shi A is both envious and expectant...... (To be continued.) )
