As soon as Guo Zhuang arrived at the foot of Kui Mountain, he saw some people, there were hundreds of them, these people were helping the old and the young, their faces were full of vegetables, and they walked aimlessly.

After Guo Zhuang inquired, he learned that these people were refugees who fled from the Yellow River. On the way, hundreds of people had already starved to death or died of disease, Guo Zhuang didn't care about going up the mountain to burn incense, so he hurried back to his home and asked his family to set up a porridge field to help these people.

The news of Guo Zhuang setting up a porridge field to help the victims spread ten, ten, hundreds, hulala, and all the nearby victims came to beg for porridge to eat. In order to prevent the victims from suffering from wind and frost, Guo Zhuang specially built dozens of sheds with straw curtains for them to shelter in.

Luo Songling knew about this, and greatly appreciated Guo Zhuang's behavior, and said: "Virtuous son-in-law, I support you for such a virtuous and good deed, you don't take care of my affairs first, take care of the victims first!" ”

There were too many victims, and the food stored at home was soon insufficient, so Guo Zhuang personally took people to the city to buy rice.

There is one of the largest rice shops in the county town of Changzi, called "Rende" rice shop, and the boss is called Liu Renyi, although it is called Renyi, but in fact, it is very lacking in virtue. Liu Renyi is the brother-in-law of Liang Dequan, the assassin of Luzhou, and he used this deep relationship to use various means to set up many industries in Changzi County. Especially for grain, Liu Renyi suppressed the grain stores in Changzi County several times, and under his coercion, other grain stores closed one after another, and in the end, he was the only one left, and he was even more unscrupulous.

This time, the Yellow River broke and mourned all over the wilderness, but Liu Renyi not only did not have a trace of pity, but felt that the price of grain would definitely rise sharply, and it was a good time to make a fortune. Liu Renyi hoarded a large amount of grain, ready to make a windfall.

Because the food is about to run out, the victims are still rushing here. Although Guo Zhuang is the head catcher of Changzi County, Liu Renyi does not buy his account at all. Guo Zhuang was so anxious that he couldn't care about anything else, so he asked him in a low voice to sell him some rice for emergency relief in front of the victims.

Liu Renyi's eyes rolled: "Guo Zhutou, I'm a businessman, how can I watch business and not do it!" ”

He changed his words: "But you also know that the Yellow River has recently burst, and there is a shortage of food, and I can't get a grain of rice with cash, so what can I sell to you?" ”

Guo Zhuang knew this guy's plan, in order to keep the victims from starving, he didn't want to and didn't dare to offend Liu Renyi, so he agreed to sell them a thousand catties of rice at three times the price of the usual.

Guo Zhuang sent someone to bring Mila home, and when he wanted to get out of the pot, he found that Liu Renyi was really black-hearted, and such a high price of rice actually added a large amount of sand and gravel under the rice bag, and some of them were the size of a fist.

The family was so angry that they wanted to go to the boss of the rice shop to ask for an explanation, but Guo Zhuang stopped: "Let's not be idle with him, the victims are still waiting for dinner!" ”

Guo Zhuang ordered his family to carefully dig out the sand and gravel before cooking for the victims.

The rations of the victims were settled, and Guo Zhuang was temporarily relieved. He was worried about Luo Songling's condition, came to Luo Songling's bedside, looked at the dying father-in-law, his heart was like a knife, he knelt down with a plop, and said: "Lord Yue, I am really incompetent, not only can I not cure your illness, but even your last wish cannot be fulfilled......"

Before Guo Zhuang finished speaking, there was a noisy sound outside, Guo Zhuang hurriedly wiped away his tears and went out to see what was going on.

After a while, Guo Zhuang walked quickly to Luo Songling's bed with a stone in his hand, and shouted in surprise: "Lord Yue, open your eyes and see, Shou is coming!" Shou is really here! ”

It turned out that when a subordinate was washing rice just now, he found a large stone from the rice bag, which was the size of a fist. The family cursed a sentence of "damn rice boss", and was about to throw it away, when he suddenly found that this stone was different, and when he looked closely, there was a clear italic word "Shou" on the front, and he threw away the spoon and came to report the good news.

Luo Songling had already had a breath left at this time, and when he heard Guo Zhuang's shout, he suddenly opened his eyes, struggled to sit up, and said, "Where is Shou?" Where's Shou? ”

Guo Zhuang hurriedly handed the Shouzi Qishi to his father, Luo Songling took it carefully, looked at it again and again, and then laughed.

Guo Zhuang was startled and shouted, "Lord Yue, you are ......"

Luo Songling clapped his hands and smiled: "This is the real longevity word strange stone, since 'longevity' has come, I have no regrets in this life!" ”

After saying that, Luo Songling passed away with a smile.

Guo Zhuang held a funeral for Luo Songling and gave four strange stones to Luo Songling for a funeral.

After the funeral, Guo Zhuang put his mind on relieving the victims. For three months, Guo Zhuang did his best to save countless victims. For this reason, he became destitute and moved into a dilapidated courtyard with his mother and old mother, and all the family property fell into the hands of Liu Renyi!

The year before last, Guo Zhuang's mother died in childbirth! Since then, Guo Zhuang has vowed not to marry for the rest of his life, and he will depend on the blind old lady for his life!

……

After listening to Luo Mao's introduction, Liu Xuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This Guo Zhutou is really a strange man!" ”

"Guo Zhuang is a fast catcher in the county, why don't you take his aunt to the county seat?" Li Tao interjected on the side.

"Why didn't you pick it up? Guo Zhuang, the child, is the most filial to his mother, but his mother is unwilling to go to the county seat. ”

"Why?"

His aunt said that he was not used to living in the city, and he was reluctant to let go of the villagers. Later, Guo Zhuang was ready to quit his job as a head catcher and went home to concentrate on serving his mother, but he was scolded by his mother and refused to let him quit his errand. In desperation, Guo Zhuang had no choice but to beg his neighbors to take care of his aunt. ”

"Where does Luo Erhu's aunt live?"

"Just across the corner, there's a willow tree at the door." Luo Mao pointed out the door.

"Old Master Liu, do I want to go and see Luo Erhu's aunt?"

"Li Xiaolangjun, I'll go with you." Liu Xuandao.

"No, I'll just go myself."

……

Just when Liu Xuan's father and son were anxious, Li Tao finally came back. However, he did not come back alone, and led an old woman into the house with him.

"Mrs. Guo! How did you get here? When Luo Mao saw that it was Guo Zhuang's aunt, he hurriedly got up and greeted the old woman.

"What? My wife is not welcome? It was Taoer who brought me here! ”

Liu Xuan's father and son heard that Mrs. Guo was so close to Li Tao, and secretly pouted: This Li Xiaolangjun is really amazing, he is so familiar with Mrs. Guo for so long, and I don't know what [***] soup Li Tao poured into Mrs. Guo.

Luo Mao asked the old lady strangely: "Mrs. Guo!" Did you know Li Xiaolangjun before? ”

"How did I know Tao'er? This is the first time I've seen this kid! ”

Luo Mao was a little unconvinced: "Mrs. Guo! Your old man usually doesn't like to talk much, how can he fall in love with Li Xiaolangjun like this? ”

"Who says I don't like to talk? It's you who don't bother to talk to me, a blind old woman! Tao'er is different from you, he thinks about how to make me happy. In this moment, he told me two stories. ”

"Huh? Storytelling? ”

"Yes! Agarwood splits the mountain to save the mother, how nice it sounds! Oh, and Sun Wukong three dozen white bone spirits, this kid is really sensible! ”
