The wind and snow are getting bigger and bigger along the way, and it is difficult to have such a wind and snow in the south, even last year, it was also a day of hastily falling, accumulating a layer, and the children played for a while, like this year, the family did not dare to let the children go out.

Near the outskirts of the town, almost all the doors and windows of several houses in this village were open, and when they saw two adults coming, they were immediately greeted by someone.

"Master Cheng! Lord Yanagi! We sent the futon, but the snow was so hard that we couldn't do it! ”

"Yes! My lord! But there's still a place where we can be used! Adults can talk about it! ”

The shouts one after another came into my ears, and Qi You and his party couldn't help but be moved in their hearts.

Zhixing held an umbrella and replied from afar: "Thank you for your kindness!" Hurry up and close the doors and windows, don't freeze the child! ”

"Hey! Ay! Let's listen to the adults! ”

"Take care, too!"

Several families closed their doors and windows one after another, and couldn't help but sigh: "In such weather, two adults also rushed here, which is really a good character!" ”

"Yue Niangzi is really blessed, there are such people in our county, rest assured!"

"Who's to say it isn't! If it is really from a poor family, he will not forget to sympathize with the people when he becomes an official! Let's stop making a mess and stay at home! ”

When they arrived at the outskirts of the town, the umbrellas on everyone's heads were piled up, and the group on the outskirts of the town had not walked ten times but eight times, and the route had long been familiar to them.

From a distance, several thatched huts at the official road have already been crushed by the snow and collapsed, only one or two board houses are still standing, but they have also lifted up some wooden boards, so it looks shocking, if someone is inside, I am afraid that it will freeze in the middle of the night.

The group did not dare to delay any longer, and walked straight along the path towards the cave, where the outskirts of the town were in the open space, and the cave that had gradually taken shape could be seen at a glance, and the other private kiln was directly opposite, hidden in the mountain.

Along the way, I saw that many stalls had not yet had time to be taken away, and they were all set up by nearby people or vendors in the town, but fortunately, everything was almost collected, leaving only an empty shelf. I think that a few days ago, it was still a lively scene, and the villagers working in the official kiln each got a few pennies a day, and they could eat enough in these stalls. Or if there is a person who is reluctant to use the money, the family will cook and bring it over.

Dozens of villagers, who crowded the cave into a lively and lively place, are now covered with snow, but it is a little lonely.

It was the occasional slight coughing sound in the cave that would break the silence.

When this cave was built, a bend was specially added, and the heat in it was not easy to escape, so I think this group of villagers hid there.

Several people stood still at the entrance of the cave, a piece of clothing covering the entrance of the cave, but they couldn't stop the growing wind and snow.

Zhixing couldn't help frowning: "There are a lot of bricks and wooden boards in the cave, why don't you use those things to block it?" ”

The two didn't dare to delay any longer, and continued to walk inside with people.

If you get closer, you can hear the whispers of chatter.

From the words, you can know that everyone must be very sad on their faces.

"Alas! I don't know when we'll be able to wait for someone to come! ”

"I guess it's going to be fast, isn't there an old brother in front of me who has gone to report to the official, the adults here are planning for us everywhere, not like the corrupt officials in our original township, let's stay closer, don't let anyone freeze anymore." The two adults live in the same place, and they will definitely come together when they get the news. ”

There was a man who was very eager: "The two adults are good, but my daughter is afraid that she won't be able to wait long, this body is as hot as a stove, how can I get it when I wait for it to burn and be confused!" ”

The younger one opened his mouth: "Why don't I go down first?" Regardless of whether this wind and snow are good or not, go to the town to find a doctor first, the adults can stand it, and the children will not last long. ”

After saying that, a woman stopped: "Don't! The clothes we brought out of the house are all wet, and the clothes sent by the villagers are also wet and cold by the wind, and there is still a long way to go from the town, don't fall on the road this time, I have heard you cough for a long time! ”

It was his daughter-in-law who said this, and the two had a newborn child in their arms, who had just been born some time ago when they felt that their days had stabilized, but they didn't expect to suffer again.

The woman had a slight cry in her words, and she cried out of his undetermined mind.

Broken cries rang out from time to time, and they became even more miserable in everyone's ears.

Inevitably, some people accepted their fate and hesitated: "...... In fact, these days, Cheng Liu and the two adults have done well enough...... On such a snowy day, there are people who die on the road, and if they don't come, it is reasonable......"

"yes...... We...... It's just a bunch of homeless people, and the adults give us work to do, and they give us such a high salary, which we can't think of elsewhere...... If they don't come, we shouldn't blame them. ”

After these two words, there was a moment of silence in the crowd, and everyone's faces lost their brilliance.

After a long time, they almost forgot that they were just refugees who had fled without a proper household registration......

Many of the 20-odd displaced people escaped from a township, and fleeing was almost the most courageous decision these people had made in their lives, and the courage of this cavity had already been exhausted on the way to escape, and in this long wait, inch by inch cold not only invaded the body, but also crushed the spirit.

Whether it is life or death, there is a great sense of resignation.

The cold wind kept pouring in, blowing on everyone's faces to show sorrow.

Until an elderly man suddenly stomped his feet, his face was taut, and he was a little annoyed: "Why do you bother to say such frustrating words!" I believe in two great adults, and they will not be the ones who have abandoned the people, but the righteous officials! Good officer! We've got all the dry clothes here, find them all out and cover them for a few kids! Wait! Adults will come! ”

The one holding the child said with a sad face: "Uncle...... We might just be ...... this fate."

But he didn't want the old man to blush, so he spat fiercely: "Phew! We will never be so unlucky in our lives, and we will meet several officials who are not directors in a row! My old bones didn't die in the drought, and I can definitely live today! ”

"Cheer me up! Take care of the kids! ”

……

The words came to Qi You and Zhixing's ears from far and near, the two of them became more and more heavy, and the steps under their feet became faster and faster, and finally at the moment when the old man's voice fell, Zhixing Qi You turned into the bend and appeared in front of everyone.

Suddenly, a cold air rushed over, and the twenty or so people crowded inside shivered together, suddenly stopped talking, and couldn't help but look towards the door.

At this glance, I saw the two adults who were thinking about it, and the faces of the group were pale from the cold, which showed that they had rushed all the way.

More than two dozen faces were startled, and immediately someone knelt on the ground.

There's nothing more than a piece of driftwood in the rapids of the river!

reacted one by one, and his eyes turned red with excitement, and he shouted Qi You and Zhixing one after another.

"My lord! Adults are really here! ”

"It's an adult! Your Excellency, you're really here!! ”

The old man who had just stomped his feet and cursed was stunned in place, startled, happy and sad at the same time, and knelt on the ground in a hurry, kowtowing in a dumb voice: "My lord...... The adults didn't leave us alone! ”

Qi You Zhixing hurriedly went over and helped a few people up, and when he helped the old man's house, he had seen him crying bitterly, and he no longer had the calm appearance he had just now.

Zhixing's nose was sour, how could they not know that in the words just now, the old man was holding back his strength, and gambled his life to think that they would come here, but they couldn't avoid the apprehension in their hearts. Now that they are really here, they have suffered from corrupt officials in their hometowns in the past, and the hardships that have come from fleeing all the way finally have something to spit out, and this precarious anxiety and half-life bumps can be stopped.

Under the mixture of five flavors, it can only be ruled by a sense of grief and indignation.

A group of officials also hurriedly helped to help everyone up.

At this moment, Qi You and Zhixing had the time to count these homeless people.

There were seven and a half children in number, many of them red-faced, and their heads were hot to the touch.

Without thinking, the two took off the big coat on their bodies directly, and wrapped up a few children who were burned in a daze.

Several women hurriedly shirked it, but they were also blocked back by Qi You, and said in a deep voice: "The child is the most important thing at the moment, you hold it tightly, don't leak the heat again, wait a little longer, someone will send medicinal herbs over in a while." ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I kept wiping the tears from my face, the joy covered the sadness, and I was choked and speechless.

Who would have thought that on such a snowy day, two officials and masters could come so quickly! Calculate the time, I'm afraid I'll just get the news and rush here!

After dividing the big pot, the two took out the half-pot dumplings packed by Chungui, and the basket and wooden bowl were wrapped in thick strips of cloth, and there was still some heat along the way.

After being hungry for most of the night and suffering from freezing for a long time, a dumpling with residual heat can also make this group of people eat with tears.

There were not many dumplings, and after they were divided one by one, everyone spontaneously left the remaining ones for the older ones.

They are all difficult together, and the friendship in them is not deep.

Seeing Zhixing Qiyou, this group of people seemed to have the backbone of the heart, although they were in tears, they didn't panic.

Knowing that they were still afraid of this natural disaster in their hearts, Qi You said: "Don't worry, the official messenger sent is already preparing medicinal materials, and there is a private kiln nearby, which will be opened in a while, and then we will go there to avoid it." The snow is a bit heavier, but the old people can see the sky clearly, and at most it will stop tomorrow, so there is no need to panic too much. ”

Everyone nodded their heads incessantly: "Let's all listen to adults!" Listen to the adults! ”

They are afraid of natural disasters, but what they are most afraid of is being discarded by the government like a rag, and now Qi You and Zhixing are here, even if they have great fear, they can also suppress it!

Seeing that their faces were rosy, the group couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

A group of officials had spontaneously blocked the bend in front of everyone, and the clothes covering the entrance of the cave had long been useless, and bursts of cold wind poured in, blowing a few shivers on the body.

Those villagers had not received much kindness from the government before, and when they saw these young officials treated like this, they were so moved that they didn't know what to say, and there were also young and strong people among the villagers, and they hurriedly signaled to take shifts with these officials, but they didn't want those officials to wave their hands indifferently although they were frozen: "This is what we should do, you just take care of the old people and the children!" ”

The crowd was red-eyed again.

It's not a way to just block it with such manpower, Zhixing looked around, and sure enough, he saw a pile of wooden planks and bricks in one place, he frowned and looked at everyone: "Why didn't you use those wooden planks to cover it just now?" There are already few clothes, so wouldn't it be more cold to block the hole? ”

The wooden planks and bricks were all materials prepared a month ago, and now a lot of them have been used, and there are still some left, although there are not many, but it is only enough to block the door, and it is placed in a conspicuous place, and the villagers must be able to see it, and they can see it, but they have not moved it.

Qi You also looked at it when he heard this, as if he was a little puzzled by everyone.

The villagers looked at the pair of bricks and wooden boards, and then at Zhixing and Qiyou, and their faces were suddenly a little embarrassed.

The old man, who had shocked a few people with the original words, wiped his eyes and spoke: "...... The two adults are above, this is a public thing, how can we use it without permission. ”

Brick by brick, since it is public, it is the right thing for them to protect the people, how can they use it?

Listening to the old man's words, the other villagers also nodded one after another: "Yes, yes!" We can't mess with public things! ”

They consciously obeyed the law and did a serious job, but they didn't notice that Zhixing and Qi You's faces had become more and more ugly.

Zhixing couldn't help it for a long time, and immediately interrupted everyone's reply, "Nonsense!" The government has taken from the people and the people, and all the actions of every stitch, thread, tile and gravel should be put first by the people! At this moment, needless to say, the bricks and tiles, even thousands of taels of gold are here, and it is the greatest use to block the outlet! ”

The twenty or so people froze in place, as if they had never heard such a thing before.

"What kind of pickled virtue is that official in your original township?! It must be a blood-sucking moth! Zhixing was suddenly full of anger, but when he saw that there were many children in this villager, he swallowed the words again.

Qi You's face was even more gloomy, and it was strange that these people were grateful to Dade after receiving a little benefit from the government in these two counties, and they were grateful to them in their hearts even if they were waiting for death here, I was afraid that they had been exploited in the original place for many years!

When the villagers heard this, they already had a little bitter smile on their faces, saying that it was a moth, and it was not too much, if it was really unbearable to the point where human life was at stake, how could they escape......

Zhixing couldn't get out of his stomach, so he directly asked the official to carry away the wooden plank to block the hole, and after a while, no wind could penetrate it, and those officials didn't have to block the bend anymore.

The two adults braved the wind and snow to come here to suffer the cold with them, took off their clothes to protect the children, and blocked the entrance to the cave with this brick, so kind and kind that they never dared to think of before.

For a short time, I don't know how many tears have fallen.

After a while, there was a sound at the entrance of the cave.
