Zuo Shaoyang arched his hand and said: "Lord Team, there is indeed a cellar under the concoction room of my pharmacy, but it is not used to hide grain, if we can hide the grain in a cellar, our family will not be what it is now." -- It was used to prevent the rebels from entering the city, killing the people indiscriminately, and hiding from the plague of swords, and the only thing in the cellar was three buckets of rice and a few cabbages. Nothing else. Please be aware of it. ”

"Oh?" Team Fu was listening to what he said, and nodded slightly, "Okay, where is the entrance to the cellar?" ”

"The entrance is under the iron pot in the concoction room, uncover the iron pot, remove the bricks and iron plates underneath, and the entrance is revealed."

Team Fu was waving his hand at the soldiers, who hurriedly stepped forward to remove the iron pot and baffle, revealing the hole. Team Fu was looking up, and sure enough, there was only a small bag and a few cabbages, and the rest were empty, so they didn't worry, and after letting the two white-bearded soldiers who were dedicated to exploring the ancient tomb go down to investigate, they reported that there was no secret passage in the cellar, and there was no other food.

Team Fu was instructing the soldiers to restore the entrance to its original state, and said with a smile: "Sorry, offended!" ”

"Where, my lord's words are serious." Zuo Gui's father bowed and said.

"Well, your family is a banner set up by the general, you must cherish this glory, and you must not be reckless! Your family's rations, including the food given by the general, should be eaten by your own family, and you must not sell them to others with violence, even if you sell them openly and secretly! Doing so will make the general very embarrassed, disappointed, and unhappy. What will be the consequences of upsetting the general, I don't say that you should know it too! ”

Zuo Shaoyang now knew about the tyrannical methods of this great general, and his heart couldn't help but jump suddenly, and he hurriedly agreed: "Yes, we remember!" ”

"Hmm-" Team Fu nodded gloomily.

Zuo Shaoyang remembered something, and hurriedly asked: "In addition to our own family, we also have maids and slaves, can they eat with us?" ”

"The maids and servants are also your family, of course you can eat together."

Zuo Shaoyang said happily: "What about the long-term workers who hired the land and the hired workers who took care of the wounded?" Seeing that Team Fu was looking at him suspiciously, Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly added: "That's the case, Lord Team Zheng, my family has eighty acres of land, and you also know that there are many people and few people in the land now, and it is difficult to find tenants. Of course, I haven't thought about it yet, but I have such a plan, if it doesn't work, forget it, hehe"

"Well, I think it's okay, hired workers are also your family, as long as they don't use employment to buy and sell food in disguise."

"Absolutely not! I promise! Zuo Shaoyang said happily, "By the way, we are going to vacate a room for the wounded officers and soldiers to stay in the ward, there are not enough beds, so we are going to ask the craftsmen to help me make some beds or something, the craftsmen have nothing to eat now, can you use this way to pay for them to eat?" ”

Team Fu said with a smile: "It's okay, whether it's a slave of your family, a hired laborer, or a person who is temporarily invited to do things, you pay your salary in the way of managing food, this is no problem, there is only one thing, that is, you can't use this method to buy and sell food in disguise, just do it." However, the general gave you ten buckets of rice, but I am afraid that he will not give you any more food for the time being. So you give food to others, and you don't have it yourself. ”

"I understand this, I will save money. And there isn't much food to take care of their food, so I can't afford to invite a few people, hehe. Zuo Shaoyang suddenly thought of one thing, and said with a bold smile: "By the way, Lord Team, because I am worried about famine, my family has purchased a large number of medicinal materials, most of which are edible, but when these medicinal materials are used as food, they are very unpalatable, even worse than the wild vegetables on the mountain, after all, they are dried wild vegetables." Hehe, but it's still okay to save your life. Now the city is full of hungry people, and many of them are dying. And if the hungry people don't have anything to eat, some people will take risks, so can we use these edible herbs and add a little rice and flour to make porridge to help those dying hungry? ”

"This is okay, medicinal herbs and wild vegetables are not food, they are not within the scope of this requisition, your own medicinal materials are willing to be used to help the hungry, then no one can take care of it, and it is also a good thing, to help stabilize the people's hearts, I think the general will be very happy to hear it." However, don't add too much rice and noodles, don't save others, starve you to death, that's not good. ”

"Yes, we don't have any rice and noodles, we mainly rely on medicinal herbs, in fact, they are also dried wild vegetables."

"That's fine."

Zuo Shaoyang said again: "However, when the hungry people receive the porridge, it is too chaotic, and it is easy to cause stampede and hurt people, so can you ask the team to send people to help maintain order?" ”

"This is no problem," turned around and beckoned a fat lieutenant who was waiting in the distance to call over a fat lieutenant who was in charge of this piece of grain: "Zuo Gongzi, they want to give free medical treatment to the hungry people, and at the same time boil porridge with medicinal herbs to help the victims, you send a team of people to help maintain order, and you must not cause trouble." ”

The fat lieutenant hurriedly bowed down to receive the order.

Team Fu was facing Zuo Shaoyang and said, "Okay." I'm leaving! ”

Team Fu was turning around and preparing to leave, and Father Zuogui hurriedly shouted, "Team Zheng wait!" ”

Team Fu was turning to look at him: "Is there anything else going on in Zuo Langzhong?" ”

Zuo Gui bent down and picked up the purse at Zuo Shaoyang's feet, and said with a smile: "The team is accompanying the children with all the military masters, it has been hard, and there is nothing to be filial to the old man, this money, I will give you a cup of tea." Please laugh at it. ”

Team Fu smiled, stretched out his hand to take the purse string, handed it to the soldier next to him, smiled all over his face, and arched his hand: "Zuo Langzhong is really polite, since Zuo Langzhong is so considerate of our brothers and sent so much tea money, I thank you for all the brothers!" ”

"You're welcome. I can't say what will trouble you in the future. ”

"Well said!" Team Fu arched his hand and smiled, "If there is anything useful for the junior general, just let Zuo Gongzi go to the yamen of the state capital to find the junior general." Farewell! ”

So he walked up to the horse, flew on the horse, arched his hands, and walked away with the drum band through the snow.

The family breathed a sigh of relief. Liang was more limp on the stool as if he was paralyzed. When she searched just now, although she already knew that the cellar was empty, when the soldiers found the cellar, she was still so frightened that her face turned white, her whole body trembled, and she still had palpitations at the moment.

Zuo Shaoyang also secretly called it a fluke in his heart, fortunately the food was transferred in time, but he couldn't be too happy, I don't know if the officials and soldiers will search the Qingfeng Temple, and whether they will find the food hidden in the belly of the Buddha.

Zuo Shaoyang said to his father Zuo Gui: "Now that the official army has allowed us to help the hungry, and also sent people to help maintain order, we can rest assured that we can give porridge!" ”

Zuo Gui smiled bitterly: "The team is saying, you can't add more food, just the porridge boiled in Chinese medicine, I'm just afraid that the hungry people don't want to eat it, there are fresh wild vegetables outside the city, digging those fresh wild vegetables is better than our dry medicinal materials, why bother to eat these medicinal materials?" ”

"That night, we also gave alms to medicinal porridge, didn't we rush to ask for it?"

"That time was different, we added a lot of food to it at that time, can we add so much now? Team Fu is talking, and he won't even let the rice grains be seen. This is almost pure medicinal materials, who wants to take medicine as food to eat? ”

Zuo Shaoyang said with a smile: "I don't see the simplicity of rice grains, just grind rice into powder and boil it with medicinal herbs, isn't it okay?" ”

"That's okay, but you still can't add too much, otherwise you can still see it."

"Of course!" Zuo Shaoyang said, "Let's give medicine porridge, and those who are willing to receive porridge to drink will receive it, if no one receives it, then forget it, we don't have extra food to give." ”

"Well, today the officers and soldiers are collecting food. If you can't rush this big thing, let's wait for the official army to finish collecting food before starting to give alms to the medicinal porridge. ”

"Okay."

Miao Peilan put the kitchen knife and firewood knife back in the kitchen, and came over to help Zuo Shaoyang into the house. Zuo Shaoyang asked, "What about the blackface team?" ”

"Let's go, you guys go out to parade with your front foot, and he slips on his back foot, saying that it would be miserable for Team Fu to see him wandering around."

Daddy Zuogui said: "We still have to thank people, if he hadn't reported you going out of the city to treat the wounded, how would the general know?" How can you reward so many things? ”

Liang also said happily: "No, there is still a piece of pork, our family hasn't eaten pork for a long time!" ”

"Don't worry, hide in the cellar and freeze. More on that later. ”

Zuo Shaoyang looked around and asked Miao Peilan, "Is Brother Li, the carpenter, here?" ”

"Here, just evaded, hid next door, I'll call him?" Miao Peilan Road.

"Don't use it yet," Zuo Shaoyang deliberately said loudly: "I want to go to the thatched house, Peilan, please help me to go, Zhi'er, you don't have to go." ”

Miao Peilan helped Zuo Shaoyang out of the back door of the kitchen, closed the door, and Zuo Shaoyang said in a low voice: "Help me go to Qingfeng Temple." ”

Miao Peilan's eyes widened: "What are you going to do there?" ”

"Well...... this time the general gave me such a high honor, and gave our family ten buckets of grain, which is the result of the blessing of the Bodhisattva, I want to go to Qingfeng Temple to make a vow."

"Can't you wait a little longer and then go?"

"No, go now!"

"Oh......" Miao Peilan helped Zuo Shaoyang and walked slowly along the alley.

At the entrance of the alley, there were two soldiers who were checking the passers-by, and those who had nothing in their hands were not searched, as long as they were carrying bags, pushing carts, or sitting in sedan chairs, they were all interrogated and searched.

The two soldiers saw Miao Peilan helping Zuo Shaoyang over, the Fu team had already greeted him before, and the soldiers in this area also knew that he was a great hero who supported the army praised by the general with a plaque, and they were very grateful in their hearts, nodded and said hello, respectfully let him pass.

After passing the alley, I saw Qingfeng Temple, and saw that the search team of the official army was searching one by one, and I was about to search Qingfeng Temple. The alley also found people hiding food, and they were executed in the snow, with no head and only a headless corpse. There were also some people who were whipped in the street and beaten to the point of crying and calling their mothers.

Miao Peilan helped Zuo Shaoyang around the headless corpse on the ground, and slowly entered the Qingfeng Temple, there was still no one in the courtyard, it was so cold in the past, not to mention that it was an extraordinary time now.
