The days in Kyoto City are becoming more and more stable, and Xi Hongdou also feels that life has its own pattern, and life tends to be dull in the end.

However, for a few days, Xi Hongdou found that there were more and more beggars in Kyoto, and the north of the city was the residence of dignitaries and nobles, and there were many big shops, so these beggars were expelled to the south of the city.

Many people were begging at the door, but Xi Hongdou thought that most of Yanyun's grain was transported from Hexi Prefecture to all parts of the country, and he didn't hear the news of the disaster in Hexi Prefecture!

"Fellow, where are you from? Did you flee the famine? Xi Hongdou came out and asked.

"From Henan Prefecture, there is a locust plague in my hometown, and there is no harvest of ......" The person who spoke was a middle-aged man, who looked quite real, but the old lady and wife next to him were very thin, their faces and bodies were dirty, and the children were so thin that their eyes were extraordinarily big.

As soon as Xi Hongdou heard that he was suffering from a locust plague, he asked, "Then why don't you go directly to Hexi Prefecture?" There should be no disaster over there, and Hexi Prefecture also takes care of many workers in other places every year to pick up the land, so they can have food and clothing. "Henan Prefecture is not close to Hexi Prefecture, but it is not very far, it should be better to go there. Kyoto Castle is full of wealthy people, but the number of victims seems to be a bit large.

The eldest brother said: "I went, I was blocked back, and Hexi Prefecture didn't let us in, for fear of causing a riot." ”

Xi Hongdou sighed with emotion, so he said: "Doesn't the imperial court provide disaster relief?" ”

"It's not enough, the grain of the court has been stripped by the officials, and we are only left with gruel, and we can't survive, we have eaten grass roots and bark all the way to get here, I just hope that the family can have a way to live." In the end, the eldest brother was also uncomfortable listening to Xi Hongdou.

Xi Hongdou turned around and went into the shop and took a small bag of rice, which was about five catties, which was enough to eat for two or three days.

The eldest brother took it, and when he saw that it was rice, he was about to thank him, but Xi Hongdou hurriedly booed: "Don't make a noise, I'm afraid someone will rob it!" Although the yamen doesn't care about the lives of these refugees, if they riot, they will definitely be arrested, so she won't light this fire.

The eldest brother's tears were about to fall, and he made a gesture at Xi Hongdou, and then quietly took his family to the outside of the city first.

Xi Hongdou felt that these people were also pitiful, and then after thinking about it, he went to the warehouse, counted ten bags of rice, and the next day, went directly to the broken temple outside the city gate in the south of the city, which was full of refugees.

Xiao Zhi also came this time, when he heard that Xi Hongdou wanted to give porridge last night, his first reaction was to object, those refugees will be forced to do anything in order to survive, Xi Hongdou is a little girl to go to soup porridge, isn't this waiting for danger to come? But Xi Hongdou insisted, watching the adults starving was not too touching, but seeing those children crying one by one hungry, she also felt a hundred and eighty degrees in her heart, so it was better to do something good, not to ask how many people she could help, but to be able to feel comfortable.

"This man...... Isn't it too much? Xi Hongdou looked at Xiao Zhi followed by eight family members, and felt a bit exaggerated.

Xiao Zhi was speechless: "You'll know in a while!" "Xi Hongdou has never seen such a scene, there will be chaos for a while!

The carriage pulled the grain slowly to the broken temple, and when she arrived at the place, several large buckets were put on, which were boiled in advance by Xi Hongdou early in the morning, and she was afraid that it would take too much time to boil porridge on the spot when she arrived at the place, so she got some cooked first, and then boiled the others in the broken temple.

As soon as Xi Hongdou shouted for soup porridge, a large number of people rushed up, everyone was hungry and anxious, they didn't care about anything, they just wanted to eat it quickly. The scene was too big, and Xi Hongdou was also startled.

"Hurry up, stop it first!" Xiao Zhi shouted, and the family behind him went up with sticks to suppress it, and some of them were crazy, and they were directly beaten back by two sticks, and Xi Hongdou was stupid in place.

"Everyone is calm, today we have prepared ten bags of rice, which will definitely make everyone full, but you can't rob it, if anyone robs it and doesn't understand the rules, then they can only be beaten!" Xiao Zhi stood on the carriage and shouted condescendingly, and the refugees below listened to it, so they calmed down a little.

Xi Hongdou reacted and said: "Everyone holds their own bowls, the elderly and children are given priority, as long as you don't fight or grab, you will definitely be full today!" ”

After everyone calmed down, they hurried to line up in order to eat, with the elderly and children at the front, followed by women, and finally men.

As soon as everyone saw that they had obeyed the rules, Xi Hongdou asked the family to scoop porridge one by one, a big spoon per person, just a bowl, the first few buckets were finished, and the big pot in the back was just boiled, poured into the bucket, and the pot continued to boil.

"Huh? Didn't you just receive it? "When a family member sees a familiar one, it is clear that he has just received it.

The man who had received it looked pale and said, "I...... I didn't! ”

Xi Hongdou saw it, so he said: "Give it to him, all the food today will be porridge for everyone, one bowl is not enough, just come and get another bowl, it's okay!" ”

The man was happy to hear this, and looked at Xi Hongdou very grateful, and after receiving the porridge, he hurriedly returned first.

There are many people who repeat the collar wrinkles, after all, they have been hungry for a long time, and a bowl will definitely not fill their stomachs, Xi Hongdou looked at the remaining grain, which is enough to survive for a day.

Some people are not idle when they are full, seeing that the firewood for boiling porridge is not enough, they go to the woods to pick up some branches and dry firewood, Xi Hongdou saw it, and his heart was also warm, if it wasn't for a natural disaster, everyone wouldn't want to live like this.

After a while, Xi Hongdou's eldest brother who gave rice yesterday also came over, and the whole family was there, and when he saw Xi Hongdou, he said: "I'm not here to get porridge, I still have yesterday's rice, I just want to help." ”

"That's right, help watch the pot, don't stick to the bottom of the pot!" Xi Hongdou smiled, then looked at the eldest brother's little daughter, and took a piece of candy and gave it to the child.

From the sun rising in the east, busy to the sunset, the ten bags of rice he brought were all boiled, Xi Hongdou looked at the refugees were full, and finally relieved, before leaving, many people came to ask for their names, Xi Hongdou said the name, and said: "That's all my ability, after today, everyone has to think of a warm way to live." "There are so many beggars in Kyoto City at once, and it is estimated that it is not easy to beg for food, and these people should also want to earn food and drink through labor, and they will not think about begging for food all their lives.

After leaving the broken temple, Xi Hongdou was so tired that he died, Xiao Zhi was almost paralyzed, and the eight family members on his face were also weak in their hands and feet, and they were all like frosted eggplants sitting on the cart.

Mrs. Xiao did not object to Xi Hongdou's porridge, but was a little in favor, from which it can also be seen that Xi Hongdou is a kind-hearted person, and her impression of Xi Hongdou is also rising little by little, and she likes people more and more, of course, Mrs. Xiao feels that this kind of liking is just a little bit, and she won't take it too seriously!

In the evening, both of them were too tired to eat, and they didn't eat a few bites at the dinner table, but in the middle of the night, they all woke up hungry.

Xi Hongdou thought about going to the kitchen to find some leftovers, but as soon as he entered, he saw a figure flashing inside, and when he saw it clearly, he realized that it was Xiao Zhi.

"Why are you here too?" Xiao Zhi smiled and asked, "Hungry too?" ”

Xi Hongdou smiled bitterly, the two of them were hungry if they didn't sleep in the middle of the night.

lit a small oil lamp, Xi Hongdou swept around the kitchen, and finally found two leftover cut noodles, boiled them directly on the stove, put a few pieces of vegetables and put oil, salt and soy sauce, and it was out of the pot.

The two ate somen noodles and chatted while eating.

"I heard Uncle Fang say, have you been looking for a shop recently?" Xiao Zhi asked: "You can renew the lease of the shop at home, why bother looking for it?" ”

"I want to open a big one and have my own shop." Xi Hongdou said: "I want to be a street!" "Although she only has a grain store and spicy crabs on a small scale now, there will be more in the future, and she will make all the delicious food in the night market!

Xiao Zhi heard Xi Hongdou's words, and said, "A street? Aren't you too tired? ”

Xi Hongdou thought about it and asked: "Have you ever thought about what ranking you want to get in the imperial examination after you study?" ”

"Of course I'm the top student in the exam!" Xiao Zhi said: "But it may be a little difficult, I worked hard halfway, if I can win the top prize, then wouldn't everyone else read in vain?" If you are realistic, you will be in the first class and the first class! ”

Xi Hongdou laughed directly, it is difficult to be a first-class or third-class, but second-class and first-class are second only to first-class, and Xiao Zhi's goal is very ambitious.

"So, I also have a goal, it's one thing to achieve it or not, but I have to work hard towards the goal!" Xi Hongdou said, to be honest, although she was reborn in this world at first she was uncomfortable and wanted to go back, but when she knew that she couldn't go back, she slowly accepted the life of this world. In the past, I just lowered my head and thought about studying and examining, and how much effort I put in was just to make it easier to find a job in the future. But what she has experienced has always been dull, and when she is about to graduate from her senior year, those classmates who only know how to play all day have arranged jobs at home, and people with no background also rely on hard work to find jobs, she suddenly feels that her life is really dull and has no taste, and she doesn't know how much scenery she has ignored all the way, but if she has the opportunity to live again, will she still take the old road? The answer she didn't know.

The road ahead is at the foot, Xi Hongdou doesn't want to look back, in this life, I just want to live as I like, don't put the cart before the horse for some things, and finally lose it only to find that some things can't be recovered.

Xiao Zhi thought that Xi Hongdou wanted to break out of the world now, although the goal sounded unrealistic, but he felt that Xi Hongdou still felt that he was not very reliable to be like this, so "women should be self-reliant", for this reason, he pondered that he should work harder.
