June 5th

The county government posted a notice: Wang Shihua's assassination case has been completely solved: the two assassins were unhappy with Wang Shihua for purchasing so much food in advance, and there was no mastermind in assassinating Wang Shihua.

What's interesting is that this excuse, which even ordinary people know is a fool, has caused everyone to be silent. Not only because it was impossible to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, but more importantly, in the past half a month, everyone has been tossed enough...... Enough is enough. Since Wang Shihua didn't speak out, why should he bother?

On June 6, at the insistence of Wang Shihua, he was discharged from the hospital ahead of schedule. And this has also greatly alleviated the problem of difficult treatment for the people in the county.

Although it was hot outside, the temperature was cool with ice in the wide carriage.

Wang Shihua and Liu Shaoxun sat by the window, and Uncle Jiang sat in the main seat, forming a 'pin' character, and a small table was placed in the middle with refreshments.

Along the way: the fields are dry and cracked, the crops are yellow, and even the weeds and leaves on the roadside are also yellow, and the farther away from the county seat, the more difficult it is to see the people, which aggravates the contagion of the famine...... The catastrophe has begun.

In the county seat, the three of them still talked and laughed, but since they hit the county seat, Liu Shaoxun and Wang Shihua were infected by the tragic situation along the way, and gradually lost interest in talking.

Wang Shihua looked up at the scorching sun overhead, and instructed Ergouzi, who was riding a horse to guard the carriage: "Let everyone speed up and rest in the Grand Canyon a few miles ahead." ”

Lowering the curtains, he smiled at Liu Shaoxun, who was still looking outside: "Shaoxun, what are you thinking?" ”

Liu Shaoxun didn't put down the curtains, looked back at Wang Shihua, sighed, and asked, "Uncle Jiang, how long has it not rained?" ”

"Doctor Liu, counting today, except for a little cloud and rain on May 13, it has been forty-eight days."

"Hey~..."Liu Shaoxun frowned slightly and sighed, and sighed: "When Yingzi sent me a telegram, she said that the drought and locust plague here are very strict, I thought she was alarmist, hey~... It seems that this drought is not small, and the displacement of the people may be inevitable. ”

Seeing Wang Shihua nodded, there was not much sadness between his eyebrows, and he asked suspiciously: "Shihua, I heard Yingzi say that you have done a lot of things, tell me, see if I can help?" ”

Wang Shihua talked about the pumping truck, grain reserves and other things without reservation.

Liu Shaoxun's brows relaxed a lot, and finally he smiled: "Your kid is well prepared, why didn't you say it earlier, it will cause me to worry in vain." Don't worry, when I return to Changsha, I will mobilize everyone again, donate money and materials to you, and collect more disaster prevention medicines. ”

Although he heard Wang Shihua say that he was going to use food to pinch others, but this was a local struggle and a necessary means for the rise of the Wang family, Liu Shaoxun did not say much, but continued to help, which made Wang Shihua very grateful. If Liu Shaoxun forced Wang Shihua to use food to help the people now, Wang Shihua would be very embarrassed.

"Great, I'm most worried about the plague right now."

During the conversation, I came to the middle of the Grand Canyon outside the Flying Tiger Cave. With the warm winter and cool summer air spewing out from the Flying Tiger Cave, everyone made a fire to cook and rest...... Wang, Xiang and Tian are bounded by the Flying Tiger Cave, the west of the Flying Tiger Cave belongs to the Wang family, the east, the north belongs to the Xiang family, and the south belongs to the Tian family.

Two hours later, the team continued to set off, walked seven or eight miles to the west, and just out of the Grand Canyon, they saw several old women hanging fish baskets, squatting on the stones on the side of the road, turning things over little by little.

Seeing the Wang family's team coming, several old women straightened up and looked at the team. When they recognized it as the Wang family's team, the wary eyes of several old women were replaced by smiles.

"Listen to the car."

Before the car could stop, Liu Shaoxun jumped out of the carriage, came to the side of several old women, and said with a smile: "A few old people, what are you collecting on the stones?" ”

"Back to this master, we're collecting pearl rice."

"Pearl rice?"

"Well...", an old woman grabbed a small handful of things from the fish basket and handed it to Liu Shaoxun: "Master, please see, this is it." ”

The so-called pearl rice is a kind of moss, which grows on moist stones, which is very rare.

After Liu Shaoxun took it, he saw that all of them were the size of soybeans, crystal clear, and reflected a dazzling luster in the sun, like pearls. The first time he saw this thing, he was very interested. I picked one up and looked at the sun, and there was still water shaking in it.

"Can this thing be eaten raw?"

"Yes." Although Wang Shihua can walk on the ground, he still needs someone to help him, so in order to avoid jokes, he had to stay in the car, stick out his head to watch, hear the words, and answer for the old woman with a smile.

Liu Shaoxun ate one and nodded with satisfaction. returned the pearl rice to the other party, but the old woman smiled and said, "The master can see it, and this handful of pearl rice will be given to you." ”

"Then thank you, old man." Liu Shaoxun didn't care, and after thanking him, he asked while eating pearl rice one by one: "I heard that it is not safe here, there are many bandits, and there are no villages around here, you come all the way here to pick pearl rice, are you not afraid of bandits?" ”

"Back to the master, this is our Wang family's territory, as long as you don't get out of this canyon, that bandit dares to come to find death? Let's talk about it again, even if we get out of the canyon and encounter bandits, as long as we say that we are from the Wang family, they will not dare to embarrass us. Otherwise, let the head of our Wang family know, and we must not kill them all. ”

An old woman also smiled and said: "Besides, there is pearl rice here in this area, and we old women can't do heavy work, so we can only come here to collect some pearl rice, so that we can exchange food in the town and reduce the burden on our family." ”

"This year's drought is great, do you have enough food to eat?"

"The food at home is not enough, but fortunately, the head of the family is wise and martial, and he has stockpiled food as high as a mountain early, which is enough for our Wang family to eat for several years."

Liu Shaoxun looked back at Wang Shihua, nodded, turned around and smiled at the old woman and was about to ask, but heard the old woman ask: "This master, seeing that you are sitting in the carriage of our Wang family, and there are guards from our Wang family, I don't know how many masters you are in the family?" ”

"He's the fifth master."

"I've seen the fifth master..."

"Heh... Scold... A few old people, please get up. ”

"Master Xie Wu."

"Since it is the fifth master, we don't dare to hide it, in fact, we are here, first, to collect pearl rice, and secondly, to guard here according to the arrangement of the security chief."

"Sentry?"

"Well... The chief of the house said that the head of the house was accidentally stabbed and seriously injured by those damned gangsters outside, obviously for our food, and asked us to watch here, if a large group of strangers or bandits came, let us report in advance, so that they could be killed to avenge the head of the house. ”

Just a few of you, don't tell the news, and when you run back, I'm afraid the bandits will already take the village.

"Fifth master, don't do it, you see, as long as we find bandits, we will put the bamboo piece on the small cloth bag under Xiao Huang's stomach, and let Xiao Huang run back to the village, and the chief will know as soon as he sees the bamboo chip."

At this time, Liu Shaoxun found that there was a yellow earth dog beside several old women, lying on the grass and sticking out his tongue...... This is the wisdom of the people~...

After asking a few more questions, Liu Shaoxun kept smiling on his face, and he was very satisfied with the life and self-confidence of the people under Wang Shihua's jurisdiction.

When he was about to leave, Wang Shihua smiled and said, "A few old people, will you sell me the pearl rice in your hands?" ”

"Good..."

But at this moment, I saw an old woman who had been peeking at Wang Shihua, suddenly a little frightened, and looked at Wang Shihua hopefully, and asked, "Dare to ask if you are the head of the family?" ”

Seeing Wang Shihua nodding with a smile, the old woman knelt down and kowtowed with great joy, and shouted: "The old woman visits the head of the family and wishes you a long life...... I mean, are you still stunned? Are there any rules? Kneel down and say hello to the head of the house. ”

"Meet the head of the house..."

"You've seen me before?"

"If you go home, I went to the town half a year ago, and I had the privilege of seeing your honor from afar, and I have always remembered it. I wasn't too sure just now, but I didn't say hello to you as soon as possible, and asked the head of the family to punish him. ”

"Heh... Scold... Several old people Shu Shihua was injured and couldn't get out of the car, so they all got up quickly. ”

When the old woman stood up, she took off the gauze from the edge of the basket, pulled it out of the basket, and pulled out a ball of pearl rice. He respectfully handed it to Liu Shaoxun with both hands, and bowed his head and said: "It is the honor of the old woman's whole family that the head of the family can take a fancy to the old woman's pearl rice, and he never dares to mention the money." ”

Several other old women also learned it, and everyone looked excited.

Liu Shaoxun looked at them with a strange expression, and then looked at the pearl rice in his hand, he didn't know what to say for a while, but in the depths of his eyes, there was ecstasy.

Wang Shihua thanked them, and soon, the carriage set off under the gaze of several old women.

Waiting for the carriage to travel a hundred meters away, one of the guards came back with a money bag and said, "The word of the heirloom: You are loyal to the royal family, and this is a reward for you, not for buying your pearl rice." Twenty yuan per person, and a few elderly people were asked to collect it. ”

The moved wives kowtowed to the carriage again with tears in their eyes and thanked them.

"Shaoxun, why are you always worried about pearl rice?"

"Shihua, I took pearl rice, and I really felt the love of the people for you."

"Oh~... Then tell me, how is my Wang family? ”

"Although they are just a few old people, but the culture and literacy are passed down in one line, from them, I see the pride of the children of the Wang family... Assertive... Sincere... Kindness..."

"Huh... Ha... Well said. Wang Shihua laughed proudly, but added: "However, if I have the opportunity, I will let you see the fierce and imposing side of my Wang family's children. ”

With this scene just now, Liu Shaoxun was obviously in a good mood, and he talked a lot, and he kept asking this and that along the way, Wang Shihua also knew everything and said everything.

In a good mood, time always flies too fast...

Unconsciously, the team came to a place called Jinzhu Mountain.

Feeling that the carriage stopped, Wang Shihua stretched out his head to take a look, and saw that the team had also stopped, and asked suspiciously: "Ergouzi, what's going on?" ”

"If you go home, there is a good show going on ahead, and the stone has stopped the team and sent someone to ask, do you want to see it?"

"What's the show?"

"Didn't you talk last time, didn't you see how Uncle Tiger personally commanded an army of 100,000 to exterminate locusts? Now, here's your chance. ”

"Great, take me there."

"Young master, you don't need to get out of the car, just drive the carriage over."

"Let's ask Cuiyun if she wants to see it? lest she complain that I don't take her to the theater when the time comes. ”

"The little one has already sent someone."

Sure enough, the speed of Zhang Cuiyun's carriage sped up a lot......
