Chapter 55: Rescue the Jiang Family

Gu Tianxing wandered around Anhe County for two days, and found that there was no drought here, and there was no sign of being washed away by floods, and he really couldn't understand why the plague occurred.

When she went to the hospital to pick up the medicine, she listened to the shopkeeper chatting with the guests, and she couldn't help but ask a few more questions, and then she knew the reason.

It turned out that there had been flooding in the south since the end of July, and after more than a month of heavy rainfall, the Qingli River burst its embankment, and the three states along the river were washed away by heavy floods.

Ordinary people fled in all directions, looking for a way to survive, and many refugees flocked to Anhe County.

At that time, the county magistrate arranged for doctors to check at the gate of the city, except for the clans and clans that had some connections, and only let the scholars who were in good health enter the city, but the plague broke out in this way.

Originally, only one or two villages had people infected with the disease, but the county magistrate immediately ordered the village to be sealed. Gradually, there were sick people in many villages and even towns.

The prefect of Yuzhou received the news and sent a team of men and horses to guard the city gate. But the number of sick people in the city increased, and the refugees who entered the city rushed to flee outside the city.

Soon after, the soldiers and horses defending the city were also transferred, saying that there was a rebellion in the north.

When Gu Tianxing and his gang came, there were already three villages that were almost extinct. If it hadn't been for the death order from above, the county magistrate would have run away long ago.

Her scalp tingled as she listened, and she hoped that the county order would soon report the prescription for dysentery, so that there would be fewer deaths in other towns.

Thinking about it again, it has been a few days since Qingzhu left, and I don't know if I have found the Jiang family. Although he doesn't like to talk and always stands by his side, he is really a little unaccustomed to leaving suddenly.

Qingzhu didn't know Gu Tianxing's chatter, if he knew, it was estimated that he would not care about the Jiang family anymore, so he turned around and ran to Anhe County.

The team led by the Jiang family has been on the road for more than ten days, and the water on the carriage has bottomed out a few days ago, and even the water in the bamboo hairpin space on Ma Er's body has been drunk cleanly.

There was no way, except for the master's house, the slaves, the guards, and the horses had to be given water. There are so many people that the water they bring with them can't withstand such consumption.

The horses were lying on the ground, their heads drooping and couldn't lift them, and the people of the three families rested on the spot, all of them turned their heads and faces, and they couldn't see the wealth they once had.

Mrs. Jiang secretly poured saliva on her third son, praying in her heart that the little benefactor must send Qingzhu.

The ladies who secretly washed with water before licked their chapped lips and regretted the paralysis of their children. If you had known earlier, you should leave whatever you say to your children!

When Qingzhu arrived, it was already the evening of the second day, and at first glance, there were people and horses lying on the ground, and I thought that these people were all gone.

Ma Er saw Qingzhu coming over slowly, thinking that he was hallucinating from thirst, and waited to hear Mrs. Jiang exclaim, "Mr. Qingzhu!" He rubbed his eyes and immediately greeted him.

Qingzhu nodded at Ma Er and pointed to the bucket again, thinking to himself: After all, this person has recognized Miss as the master, and it is not good to turn a blind eye.

Ma Er immediately understood, and carried several buckets and placed them in the open space in front of the carriage.

Qingzhu never hides the fact that he is not an ordinary person, and he will not play any tricks of begging for water like Gu Tianxing.

Everyone widened their eyes as they watched the young man in front of them slowly open a simple purse. Suddenly, a large bathtub appeared in the open space next to it.

The man easily picked up a large tub full of water and poured it into several buckets.

The three families were thirsty, and they looked at the water and licked their lips, but they didn't dare to rush forward to ask for water.

The children were so thirsty that they staggered over, buried their faces in the bucket and drank violently, coughing one by one before raising their heads.

The three old ladies peeked at Qingzhu and saw that he was not angry. Immediately full of joy, and a little complained that these little cubs had soiled the water.

Seeing this, Ma Er brought a few buckets over, filled Qingzhu with water in turn as before, and handed him a water ladle to drink.

Ma Er was flattered, trembling and took the water scoop, scooped up the water and poured it violently.

Qingzhu looked at him and shook his head, then turned to Mrs. Jiang and said:

"Miss asked me to bring you water, and you can quickly arrange the objects that can hold water! I'll have to go back to this water for you, it's been a long time! ”

Ma Er consciously recognized Gu Tianxing as the master, and he was in the same group as Qingzhu, and he asked with concern:

How long have you been on the road? Why don't you ride a horse, do you want to arrange a horse for you?

Qingzhu shook his head, frowned, and his tone was a little displeased:

"It's been two days and seven hours since I said goodbye to the young lady, and it's really slow! I don't need a horse, I'll just hurry back. ”

Everyone trembled the corners of their mouths, what kind of monster is this?!

Mrs. Jiang coughed lightly, and quickly arranged for the guards to put all the wooden barrels and basins on the table, and Qingzhu quickly filled it with water.

Old lady Ma glanced at his eldest granddaughter, and the meaning in his eyes was obvious.

Mrs. Jiang had no choice but to bite the bullet and say to Qingzhu: "I don't know if you still have water, this is my maternal grandfather, if you can, please give more water." ”

Qingzhu pondered that there were many Qiankun bags with water in them, this thing was not like a hairpin made of green bamboo branches in his own body, and it was useless to leave it to Ma Er, he couldn't open it without spiritual power. It's better to give them all the water, and you can come back in a few more days.

He nodded, and asked for all the convoy to be fetched. The Ma and Zhang families were very happy, and they went straight to Qingzhu to thank them, but this person really didn't understand the reason, and he didn't give anyone a look.

After doing this, he filled several large bath buckets in the green bamboo hairpin in Ma Er's arms with water, turned around and left.

Everyone only saw a remnant of the image sweeping into the distance, and it was completely invisible in the breath.

The three old ladies wiped a cold sweat tremblingly. Master Jiang trembled and said, Dad, I really believe that Zhu Mansion was punished by heaven because of that little girl.

Mrs. Jiang held the hand of her eldest daughter-in-law and said, Yurong, you are really blessed, you can actually form a good relationship with such a character, this has saved hundreds of lives!

Gu Tianxing didn't know this, she was busy now.

Yesterday, Guli was leading a meeting with several families, saying that the food was no longer enough, and the money he brought was almost spent.

The weather is getting cooler, and we still have to build a house, so how can we survive this winter?

Gu Anxia has developed a habit of always coming to discuss with his niece whenever there is something important.

"In the past few days, I have inquired, and there have been almost no disasters in Anhe County, because of the plague, the price of food in the county has not increased much.

There are still five taels of silver at home, plus the food and silver money hidden in your small bag, our family has no problem, but I'm afraid that the other families won't be able to survive this winter. ”

Gu Tianxing frowned, every family was busy building houses, and now that it was cold, it was too late to plant anything.

She rubbed her head, pretended to take it out of her small crossbody bag, handed over twenty taels of silver, and said:

"Let me think about it again, by the way, Fourth Uncle, don't worry about money when we build a house, we must build a brick house, but we can't collapse it if it snows!"

Gu Anxia knew that this winter would be difficult, so he took the silver and sighed and said:

Then I'll go to the town to recruit some people, and I'll have to talk to the other families about this, and see what they plan.

The two chatted for a while, and Gu Anxia was busy.

Gu Tianxing thought about it, but decided to go into Shui Lanxing's house to look for it and see if he could help the big guy get through the difficulties.

Qingzhu was not around, she had to hide it if she wanted to enter the spirit bead, looking at Gu Tai who was making a fire and setting up a pot, Gu Tianxing winked at her and beckoned vaguely.

The old lady understood at a glance that her granddaughter was in trouble, just kidding, this is what the two of them used when they opened a small stove with each other privately on the way to escape the famine!

"Ouch, my waist seems to be twisted, third daughter-in-law, don't be busy washing your clothes, let's cook the meal first, I'll sit down for a while."

After that, he didn't wait for Zhang's to agree, so he pretended to hold his waist and walked towards Gu Tianxing.

Gu Tianxing looked at her milk's funny appearance and couldn't help laughing.

Gu Tai glared at her, "You little conscienceless, who am I doing this for?" Anyway, what's the matter? ”

Gu Tianxing licked his face and coaxed the old lady, and said again: It's not about to be winter, the big guy doesn't have much food and no money, but I'm afraid that he won't be able to survive. You help me guard the carriage, and I'll ask the master if there is any way to make money.

Listen to the old too, ah! That's a big deal! Immediately, his eyes swept around, and told his granddaughter to rest assured that he would guard it.
