Chapter 27: Appeasement

"Her Royal Highness the princess is going to give porridge!" The news spread like wings to the camps, and some of the hooligans had a twinkle in their eyes and their hearts were shaking, while others wept with joy and knelt down in prayer. In a tent made of twigs and rags, a weeping woman heard the news, and with amazing speed she took the child she had placed on the plank in her arms, and said to a middle-aged man, "Daddy, child, do you hear me?" There's something to eat! Don't sharpen this broken knife! The man was silent when he heard this, but stopped sharpening the knife in his hand, and then slapped himself hard, and then kicked over the small pot of boiling water next to him.

At about five o'clock, the long-awaited refugees finally waited for food, and the heavy rice weighed on the wheels and left a deep imprint, and dozens of truckloads of rice filled with grain aroused their emotions to the climax. The white rice was poured into a boiling cauldron, and tens of thousands of hungry refugees erupted in cheers. With the continuous stirring of the big spoon, the aroma of rice spreads, and the waiting hungry people unconsciously swallow their saliva and unconsciously begin to move forward, the gap between people gradually disappears, and an anxious mood spreads silently in the crowd.

Finding the abnormality of the crowd, Chen Lingxuan stood aside and said loudly:

"Fathers and fellow villagers, don't be crowded, this time there is more rice and enough food, to ensure that everyone has a share and everyone is full!"

But where would a person who is hungry to the bone believe this? Some old people have experienced a lot, and they know how the government has helped the disaster before, there are so many porridges, the people in front are a big spoonful, the middle people are a spoonful, and the back ones depend on the length of the queue. So even if Chen Lingxuan shouted hoarsely, there were more and more crowded people.

Chen Lingxuan, who realized that the situation was gradually getting out of control, jumped onto the high platform and viciously lectured at the crowd below.

"Line up on the left to serve dinner, everyone goes to the right to eat, and finds those who rob the old and the young, behead the public, and abandon the corpses in the wilderness!"

"Find the one who cut in line, slash!"

"Repeat the porridge beater, chop!"

"Forward, slash!"

A series of slashes made the refugees all listen, and a young man muttered in a low voice below, "Is this here to give soup or to kill?" With a complaint, the crowd was excited, and there was a tendency to break out again, Chen Lingxuan couldn't help sweating, if there was another crowded stampede this time, I am afraid that this threat could only add fuel to the fire and would not work.

"The rules are strict, in order to better save more people!" A female voice came from behind, and the refugee turned to look, and a gorgeous woman in a red palace dress came with a long sword in hand.

Everyone knelt on the ground one after another, "Princess Chitose!" ”

"Get up, everyone is weak, don't care about all this red tape." Chen Lihua's voice is considerate and makes people feel good.

"Lone knows that you are all hungry, and you all want to eat porridge earlier, but there are no rules, if there are no rules, then there will be thousands of people fighting here, in case anyone falls to the ground, isn't there a worry about their lives? Is it necessary to bury the lives of others for the sake of one's own selfish desires? In the face of tens of thousands of hungry people, Chen Lihua was not afraid at all, and talked eloquently, and the people who complained before lowered their heads in shame.

The system was amazed: "Good looks are different, this kind of official language that everyone can say can actually have an effect." It's so angry,"

Chen Lihua looked at it more clearly than the system at this time, "They don't respect my words, but respect my identity." Any member of the royal family who patiently explains to them here will probably have the same effect. ”

The system shook his head: "No one knows men better than me, they are all Yan dogs, you are beautiful, they will say that what you said is right, and they will even secretly rejoice that they heard the princess speak today, if it is the prince here, it is your brother, most of them will say in their hearts, the fucking hungry person is not you, hurry up and start eating, don't be forced to chatter." ”

"Then are you Yan Dog?" Chen Lihua asked nonchalantly.

"Do you think I'm a man, then?" The system asks rhetorically.

At this time, someone muttered in a low voice, "Then these people who are close to the porridge shed already know about it, they have already started to wait, we know that it will take half an hour to come over, why should those of us in the north eat so late." Originally, it was just a self-talking complaint, but it was too quiet to spread throughout the venue, and the man knew that he had said the wrong thing, and covered his mouth in horror.

The system was furious, "This little slut really doesn't know how to be grateful, it's good to have a meal, why do you still talk so much, Lihua, whip him." ”

Chen Lihua could still understand his thoughts and said to the system. "You see, not everyone is a good dog, isn't this someone giving an opinion?"

Chen Lihua walked over, and when she saw Chen Lihua coming to her, the middle-aged man with a broken mouth was even more panicked, kneeling and kowtowing to beg for mercy.

Unexpectedly, Chen Lihua just gently helped him up, and encouraged him to say: "Dajin is never guilty of words, but it is better to say that you raised a good question." ”

Then she turned to everyone and said:

"For the next five days, every morning and evening, we would come and give soup until we left. So queuing is indeed a problem, but everyone must also understand that as long as there is a queue, there must be a first, if it is not the people in the south who eat first and then the people in the north eat, it is the young and strong people who eat first, and the people who are not good at competing eat last, after all, someone will eat last. ”

Lone can't change this fact, but you might as well think about it, why are you afraid to eat porridge at the end? The porridge is here, the fire is boiling, and it won't be cold. So what everyone is worried about is that in the end, the porridge is not enough, and the original bowl has become half a bowl, or even a little bottom of the bowl. ”

"This can be guaranteed so that everyone can eat enough porridge." After glancing at the expressions of the hungry people present, Chen Lihua continued.

"Of course, there is no evidence, how the officials of the Jin Dynasty helped the disaster before, this kind of ugly thing, Lone also knows a little bit about it. In order to make everyone believe in Lone's sincerity, Lone, Princess Xuancheng, Chen Lihua swears here, today and the next five days, Lone will be here, watching you take porridge and eat porridge, as long as there is still one person who has not eaten, Lone will not leave. ”

Hearing this, the hungry people, who had been so disdainful, were stunned for a while, and their faces were terrified and they wanted to kneel, but they heard Chen Lihua shouting, "Don't kneel!" So everybody froze there, helpless.

One of the refugee representatives, the old man who had asked the soldier before, trembled in a hurry, walked up to Chen Lihua and pleaded, "Please also ask Your Highness to retract this statement." I don't know tens of thousands of people here, and they have been hungry for many days, and they are moving slowly, and when everyone finishes eating, I am afraid that it will not be until nine o'clock in the evening, how can Her Royal Highness the princess starve because of me and so on. ”

Chen Lihua continued to reassure, "Uncle, since I have made an oath, how can I break my promise and gain weight? If I am not here, how can I guarantee that there will be no young people robbing the old and the young of food? And how can you guarantee that each bowl of porridge is enough, without impatiently rushing a spoonful? ”
