After eating a dinner that everyone will never forget, Lin Yuan smacked her lips and asked, "How is it?" Doesn't it taste bad? ”

Zhao Yun said "um", and General Guo hurriedly said, "The girl's cooking is very delicious." ”

Several other guards also exaggerated, in fact, the taste of locusts is really good, but everyone has some psychological obstacles when eating, especially those guards, they have seen with their own eyes how those live locusts become food, every bite of locusts, they can't help but think of the locusts being fried in the pot.

Lin Kite was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, so he said his thoughts: "Actually, I thought, the people here are dying of hunger, so why don't you eat locusts?" ”

Everyone paused and looked at the kite.

"Locusts are highly nutritious, can strengthen the spleen and stomach, taste good, and can also supplement protein." Moreover, this ancient locust is relatively primitive and has not been contaminated, so it will not carry any germs.

Zhao Yun thought carefully: "But ......"

"I know what you're thinking, aren't you just afraid that people won't dare to eat it?"

"There are some obstacles." Even people like General Guo who have gone to the battlefield to kill countless enemies feel that there is a psychological barrier, let alone ordinary people.

"Then what if the emperor also eats? The emperor can eat it, why don't others dare? ”

Under Lin Kite's strong persuasion, Zhao Yuncai finally nodded.

"By the way, and the Shen family may be able to help." Like the Shen family, there is prestige and admiration in the city, if the Shen family also eats locusts, it will definitely be able to persuade many people to eat them.

Lin Kite didn't think that everyone could eat locusts, but at least he could convince some people to try to eat them, and at least many people would not starve to death before the food and grass for disaster relief arrived.

No matter how big the Shen family's business is, it is impossible to feed the people of the city with three meals a day, and in addition to the people in the city, in fact, the small villages nearby must also be affected.

"The Shen family?" Zhao Yun asked suspiciously.

Lin Yuan remembered that he hadn't told Zhao Yun about the Shen family yet, so he slowly told what he had seen and heard today.

After a cup of tea, Zhao Yuncai nodded: "According to what you say, the Shen family is indeed a good person." ”

General Guo attaches great importance to righteousness, and when he heard that there was such a large charitable family, he couldn't help but admire the righteousness in his heart.

"Well, if this kind of person can be used by you, he will definitely be able to help the imperial court achieve a career in the future."

Zhao Yun looked at Lin Yuan fixedly, and there was a light in his eyes: "Iris, I really appreciate this Shen family's style, I didn't expect you to think about me?" ”

Lin Kite's face was hot, and a trace of blush appeared: "What nonsense are you talking about?" I'm thinking about the country, not because of you. ”

"Since Kite is so optimistic about this Shen family, then I will definitely find a chance to meet the Shen family."

"By the way, I think the reason why that county commander can be so domineering is that he must have a backer behind him. You suddenly gave him to death, will those backers of him do things behind his back? Lin Yuan couldn't help but worry.

Zhao Yun smiled bitterly: "Hmph, then I'll wait and see." ”

General Guo explained: "The emperor flew a pigeon to pass a letter back yesterday, and asked the people in Beijing to secretly investigate the relationship between the county orders first. Moreover, the grain and grass for disaster relief have also been prepared in the capital. ”

Lin Yuan was relieved: "That's good, you still think more carefully than me." ”

Because Lin Yuan and Zhao Yun slept in the afternoon, it was already late after dinner, so they didn't have a long chat, and soon went back to their rooms to rest.

But everyone never expected that before they could wait for the grain and grass to come for disaster relief, and they had not joined forces with the people of the Shen family to persuade everyone to eat locusts, God left them with another problem.

Because when everyone got up the next day, they found that it was pouring rain, and it did not stop for the whole day, and even became heavier and heavier.

Everyone couldn't help but worry that the people here were still suffering from hunger, but it had caused a storm, and it was really a house leak that happened to rain overnight.

If this storm keeps falling, it won't take long for it to cause flash floods, mudslides, and even because the rainy weather becomes cold, hungry people are not resistant to freezing, so many people may freeze to death.

Sure enough, as Lin Kite expected, the heavy rain continued to fall for two consecutive days without stopping, and the temperature was getting lower and lower, wet and cold.

It was raining heavily and they could only stay in the inn and could not do anything.

In the afternoon of that day, the guards who had gone out to inquire about the news hurried back and said that there was a mudslide in a small mountain village outside the city.

"What about the casualties?" After Zhao Yun heard the news, his brows furrowed, if he was thousands of miles away, he would have heard it, after all, far water could not save the near fire, but he was here now, and the people who were suffering from the disaster were by his side, how could he ignore it?

Guard: "A few were wounded, and one family was buried in the dirt, and their lives are unknown. ”

"Let the people in that village evacuate first." Lin Kite is well aware of the severity of the mudslide, and there is only one place where the mudslide occurs, just like a dam bursting, and the chain reaction will also occur in the next place.

The guards were puzzled: "The village has already asked the villagers to evacuate, but there are still some people who would rather die than leave." ”

"No, I'll have to take a look." Lin Yuan couldn't sit still, she had to persuade those who would rather die than leave.

Zhao Yun wanted to stop it, but Lin Yuan's temperament, as long as she wanted to do it, no one could stop her.

In the end, Zhao Yun could only go with him, and General Guo naturally wanted to go too.

It was still raining outside, and it was supposed to be the best choice to take a horse-drawn carriage, but now it was muddy outside the city, and it was inconvenient for the carriage to walk, so in the end everyone set off wearing only bamboo hats.

Zhao Yun was afraid that Lin Kite would be too dangerous to ride a horse on a rainy day, so he asked Lin Kite to ride with him, Lin Kite was not hypocritical, and obediently nestled in Zhao Yun's arms and set off together.

Fortunately, the small village is actually reluctant to be far away from Zheng'an City, at least it is only a cup of tea.

When Lin Kite arrived, the villagers just dug up the buried family, but unfortunately a family of five, the adults all died, only two children were protected by adults, and they survived, but they were also seriously injured and their lives were on the verge of death.

When Lin Kite came out, he brought a special medicine box, in order to help treat the people who were affected by the mudslide, and when the people arrived, they immediately ran with the medicine box to help save people.

"Miss Lin? What are you doing here? Shen Gongzi was very surprised when he saw Lin Kite.

Lin Yuan was also surprised to see that Shen Gongzi was also there: "I know a little about medical skills, and I thought I might be able to help a little, so I came." I didn't expect to run into you here. ”

Shen Gongzi: "I'm also here to see if I can help." ”

"By the way, my father is still thinking about Miss Lin this morning, and I persuaded Miss Lin to leave Zheng'an City as soon as possible, who would have thought that it would start to rain heavily on the second day, and my father was worried that the girl would be forced to stay because of this."

Lin Yuan didn't expect to be repeatedly cared for by a person who had only met once, and couldn't help but be moved again: "Then I thank my uncle for his concern first, I can't hide it, in fact, I didn't pass by here, I heard that there was a locust plague in Zheng'an City, and I came here to help." ”

Shen Gongzi smiled: "It's good if the girl has a heart, but how much can you help a little woman with this kind of thing." ”

Lin Yuan knew that Shen Gongzi didn't believe it, and in fact, she really couldn't help too much, but Zhao Yun could.

It's inconvenient to say more now, so Lin Kite didn't explain too much.

After teaming up with a few doctors to bandage and settle all the injured people, Lin Yuan remembered Zhao Yun, at this time Zhao Yun had already gone to Li Zheng, and asked Li Zheng to persuade everyone to move out of this place first, so he said to Shen Gongzi and went to Zhao Yun first.

When Lin Kite passed, those villagers who were reluctant to leave probably got some promise from Zhao Yun and had begun to pack up their things and slowly evacuate.

Lin Kite finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Yun took her hand and was relieved after making sure that the blood on her hand was not hers, but from someone else.

"Let's go too." Zhao Yun couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the small village that was already ruined in the rainstorm.

Just now, he promised the villagers that when the storm passed, they would build a new home for everyone, and promised that no one would be left homeless, and those people would not leave.

"Okay, let's go." Lin Yuan let Zhao Yun lead him to the entrance of the village.

When passing by the place where the mudslide collapsed, Lin Kite suddenly stopped, because she found a surprise!

"What's wrong?" Zhao Yun nervously clenched Lin Kite's hand.

Lin Yuan raised his other hand and pointed in the direction of the collapse: "Look, is there a lot of potatoes in that place?" ”

Zhao Yun didn't understand what a potato was, but he still followed Lin Kite's finger and looked over, only to see a few round things scattered on the soil, if you didn't look closely, you would think it was a stone.

Without waiting for Zhao Yun to answer, Lin Yuan had already broken away from Zhao Yun's hand and rushed over there, so frightened that Zhao Yun hurriedly followed and dragged the person back: "Don't go, it's dangerous." ”

Lin Yuan realized that he was really impulsive just now, it was a place where a mudslide had just occurred, and a landslide or mudslide could happen again at any time, so he didn't move again.

The guard next to him had already walked over and picked up a few potatoes.

"It's really potatoes!" After Lin Kite got the potatoes, he confirmed that he had not admitted his mistake, and became excited.

Shen Gongzi was still worried that Lin Kite's family would encounter something here, so he immediately went to find Lin Kite after he was busy with the work in hand. As a result, I happened to see Lin Kite excited about a lump, and next to her stood the guard she had seen before, and a man in a fancy costume, with extraordinary momentum and a lofty instrument, he was not an ordinary person at first glance.

"This is ......"

Lin Kite introduced: "This is my ......"

"She's a father-in-law." Zhao Yun suddenly spoke, interrupting Lin Yuan's words.

Shen Gongzi was surprised, he didn't expect Lin Yuan to get married at all, but the surprise was only for a moment, and he quickly adjusted: "I see, then my father and I can rest assured." ”
