Chapter 127: Stabilizing the Disaster
Early in the morning, Li Chuxia asked people to help him go to the street and set up a stall for distributing rice and steamed buns, ready to come to the rescue of these old and weak women and children.
The alleys of this street are full of old and weak women and children who are already hungry and can't walk, so Li Chuxia decided to set up a stall here to help these people.
"Please give me the bowl in her hand." Li Chuxia looked at the old man in front of him, his hands trembled, and he was also very distressed.
Originally, this era should have had plenty of food and clothing, but due to natural disasters, there was no food to harvest, and there was a pest infestation.
These people are really pitiful.
After taking the broken bowl handed over by the old grandmother, Li Chuxia made a bowl of porridge in the wooden bucket and handed it to the old grandmother, but when he heard this, the old grandmother said.
"Great Good Man......"
Li Chuxia responded with a smile, and the grandmother said, "It should be." ”
There were many refugees waiting in a long line to receive food, and there were only old and weak women and children in this alley, but some hungry people in the vicinity also rushed to line up.
Li Chuxia looked at the porridge that was about to bottom out, and was ready to ask people to go to the barracks to bring some porridge.
But there was a child in front of him, hungry and skinny, who looked at himself and did not let himself leave.
With a soft heart, Li Chuxia directly gave a steamed bun next to him to this child.
"Thank you, sister."
After the child said a word weakly to Li Chuxia, he turned around and divided half of the steamed bun to another woman who fell by the wall.
Looking at this scene, Li Chuxia also shook his head helplessly, he had already experienced hell on earth when he came here along the way.
However, when I came to this hard-hit area, I realized that it was nothing at all, and the people here were already hungry and began to eat tree bark, and if I hadn't arrived in time, I am afraid that they would have started eating people.
As soon as he took a few steps from the side, he was about to ask the officer and soldier to help him make two buckets of porridge and rice, when Li Chuxia suddenly saw a lot of people and rushed directly towards the porridge shop.
Immediately he felt that something was wrong, so he stepped forward to stop those people.
However, the refugees, dressed in tatters, snatched up the rice and steamed buns on the porridge stall, and then began to make some miscellaneous things in the porridge stall.
"What are you doing? Stop! Li Chuxia frowned at the group of people in front of him who were still smashing things, and even a wooden barrel rolled down at his feet with a lot of rice grains sticking to it.
"You liar! You actually took this little stuff out for us to eat, and you were embarrassed to say that you were distributing food? ”
Among them, a man with messy hair looked at Li Chuxia in front of him and scolded.
There were some ugly words, and Li Chuxia couldn't help frowning after hearing them, and his face darkened.
"I've finished the rice porridge and steamed buns just now, if you want to eat, you can wait in line, there's no need to smash things here!"
Originally, Li Chuxia was a person with a good temper, but in the face of such a vexatious person, he didn't bother to show his good temperament in this kind of place.
Another man was nibbling on the steamed buns in his hand at this time, and loudly accused Li Chuxia, "Fart, I see that you don't have porridge at all, what are these people around you eating, a bowl of water!" How many grains of rice are in it? ”
"Hehe, it's good to have rice soup to drink in this situation now, you still want to eat rice, where did I get so much rice for you? The rice coming down from the imperial court is already on the way, can't you wait a little longer? ”
Li Chuxia looked at the person in front of him eating steamed buns, and he had to confront himself vigorously, and felt that his behavior was very ridiculous, obviously he was here to help the poor people, but these lazy people also mixed in as refugees.
Another man in patched clothes picked up the wooden bucket on the ground at this time, deducted the rice inside to eat, and looked up at Li Chuxia in front of him, "When the rice in the imperial court comes down, I may all starve to death, of course I eat these!" ”
"Then since you say that I am a liar and did not put porridge for everyone to eat, what are you holding in your hands now?" Li Chuxia looked at the things he had worked so hard to bring over, which were originally clean grain, but they were put on the ground again when they were being mixed by these people.
"To say that you are a liar, that naturally means that you open a restaurant alone, and you have to trick everyone into working, but no one has seen the silver!"
Another menacing man walked directly in front of Li Chuxia and looked at her in front of him condescendingly.
Immediately after that, the surrounding people also hurriedly surrounded Li Chuxia, looking at her with malicious intentions.
Li Chuxia looked at the people in front of him who were getting tighter and tighter for himself with a cold look, sometimes he saved people in need, but there were always those who fished in troubled waters who came to rub chickens and ask for help.
The people rescued in front of me were originally refugees who they thought they were, but now these people are constantly smashing things and calling themselves liars.
"You said you weren't a liar, so you gave us a proof?" Someone directly stretched out his hand and pushed Li Chuxia.
Another person saw that someone was making a move and hurriedly pushed Li Chuxia, and then more and more people around him wanted to do something to Li Chuxia.
Li Chuxia didn't expect that he would be bullied by these people today, and he was ready to find a gap and escape from the encirclement of this group of people.
Just when these people were tightening the encirclement, Li Chuxia was thinking about what he had to do to get out of here, but then he heard the sound of horses' hooves trampling, accompanied by a scolding.
"Stop!"
Baili Yunzheng, who had returned from riding a horse, suddenly fell around this group of refugees, and these people were so frightened that they quickly scattered to look at Baili Yunzheng in front of them.
"Are you alright?" Baili Yunzheng looked at Li Chuxia in front of him with concern, and saw that the girl was unharmed at this moment, and he was relieved in his heart.
Li Chuxia shook his head, and then he hid behind Baili Yunzheng, vigilantly looking at the group of refugees around him who wanted to do something to him.
Baili Yunzheng regained his indifference at this time, looked at the group of people around him who wanted to mess with Li Chuxia, and said sharply: "Which of you dares to touch her?" ”
"General! This woman is a liar! Trick everyone into working for her for nothing! One of them shouted unwillingly.
When Baili Yunzheng's gaze fell on that person very coldly, that person was so frightened that he was clever.
"She came all the way from the south to the northeast, met a lot of refugees on the way, and they were distributing food to those people, and where there were more refugees, she also opened a restaurant for refugees to help, and paid for her own money, and helped a lot of people along the way, if you don't believe it, there is a restaurant thirty miles south that she opened, go and inquire if this is the case?"
As soon as Baili Yunzheng spoke, the people around him naturally did not dare to refute, and everyone knew that Baili Yunzheng, as the god of war of the entire country, was admired by thousands of people, and now if he was willing to come out in person to explain it to Li Chuxia, it would mean that this matter was also true.
The refugees, who were still a little angry, buried their heads and didn't dare to speak after hearing Baili Yunzheng say this, and some even slipped away quietly.
Looking at these people, Li Chuxia finally left, and he was relieved in his heart.
Baili Yunzheng directly hugged the person in front of him into his arms, and he was particularly afraid that Li Chuxia would have an accident on the way here just now, but when he came over, he fortunately caught up.
"I naturally believe that you are not a liar." Baili Yunzheng said this sentence sullenly above Li Chuxia's head.
Li Chuxia smiled and nodded, and whispered a few words of comfort to the man in front of him.
Continue to ask the surrounding soldiers to help open another stall, but this time there are no more troublemakers, and everyone is lining up to get rice steamed buns in an orderly manner.
Now that Baili Yunzheng has come forward, and this rumor is naturally self-defeating, everyone is willing to believe that Li Chuxia is not a liar.
The next rescue was also very smooth, and no one questioned himself in the end, and Li Chuxia was very happy in his heart when he was dealing with these refugees.
After staying in the Northeast for more than a month, through the efforts of Li Chuxia and Baili Yunzheng, the disaster here was finally brought under control.
And now everyone basically has something to eat, even if there is no rice, everyone will all go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, since someone has picked these vegetables, then it is Li Chuxia's turn to play.
During these times, people who used to rely on rice to survive can now eat something else to change their taste.
After the stabilization gradually stabilized, the vegetables and other crops grown by these people began to be harvested a little bit, so the damage was brought under control.
Seeing that the situation here is no longer so serious, Baili Yunzheng decided to go back to the capital to ask for a decree, and the situation here has been able to allow the victims to grow their own food and eat it, so there will be no starvation to death.
"I'm finally leaving."
Li Chuxia watched everyone gradually live and work in peace and contentment, and he also felt a lot of emotion in his heart, he could be said to have experienced hell on earth during the time he first came, but he was able to change to his current state in just over a month, and he was also very satisfied.
"As long as the approved will comes down, we can go back to Beijing." Baili Yunzheng stood beside Li Chuxia and touched her hair with his hand.
Li Chuxia, who nodded, went back to the house to prepare for today's dinner, but Baili Yunzheng, who was at the door, suddenly received a quick whip.
"General, this is the emperor's recital for you." The messenger who delivered the letter quickly got off the horse, took a fold and handed it to Baili Yunzheng.
Baili Yunzheng was a little happy, after all, he was leaving, so he was in a good mood now, but after unfolding this twist, he found that the emperor did not plan to let him return to Beijing, but continued to be stationed in the northeast region.
And there is no mention of when I will go back, I am afraid that I will be stationed on this side for a long time.
After reading this recital, Baili Yunzheng went back to the kitchen to tell Li Chuxia the news.
"Since it's a long-term station, I'm afraid I will have to wait until this side is fully restored before I can leave." Li Chuxia looked at the words on the fold, and guessed in his heart what the emperor meant.
