Chapter 343: The First Victims
However, Mu Ling had no intention of entering the city at all, but wandered outside for a long time, and finally found a temple.
Because it is not too far from the affected area, there are still some ragged victims around the temple, and I think they also want to seek help from the temple.
"It's so pitiful......" Mu Qing couldn't bear to look at this group of people, and couldn't wait to go to the palace to get some food immediately.
"These people are in good health, and the temple will open its doors to accept them later, so don't worry." Mu Ling's expression was faint, but he was also seriously observing the situation of this group of people.
Fortunately, it was much better than she imagined, and it was a bit of a brain to be able to find this side in a roundabout way. The most important thing is that although they look ragged, they are all in good spirits, not like they have been infected with the plague.
As long as you are healthy, there is always hope.
Mu Ling thought so, and turned around and urged Mu Qing a few words.
"So we are going to the temple now to help the abbots with soup porridge?" Mu Qing's eyes lit up, and his steps were a little brisker.
Mu Ling looked up at the mountain gate in front of him and sighed lightly: "Sort of!" ”
In fact, the main thing is that they have to find a place to stay for themselves.
I don't know if there are too many victims outside, but there is no incense in the temple, and it looks a little deserted.
Mu Ling and Mu Qing went in and went to the main hall to put incense on the pillar, and then explained their intentions to the little novice on the side, and said that they could help take care of the victims.
Naturally, there is no difficulty.
As night fell, the victims lined up through the side entrance of the temple. One of them received a bowl of gruel, and they all went quietly to a side room and fell asleep.
Mu Ling followed in and found that it was an empty house with thick straw in it. At this time, there were already many people huddled together to sleep after eating, and they were very honest when they were not noisy or noisy, but most of them were empty and confused in their eyes.
Without a homeland, the huge blow to the spirit is not something that others can understand.
It's windy at night, so I'm afraid it's not okay to fall asleep like this.
"How? I don't see that those people are not very full......" Mu Qing leaned in front of Mu Ling, his brows furrowed tightly.
Mu Ling pulled her all the way to the kitchen: "Naturally, there is no way to feed them, and there are one or two hundred victims here." If they are told to eat like this every day, I am afraid that this temple will be eaten up. ”
"What then? They don't have a place to go now, so it's nice to be here. Mu Qing was really distressed.
No one can predict such a thing as ground movement, let alone avoid it. It's good to be able to pick up a life, but what if you don't do it now?
The two had already come to the kitchen, and Mu Ling searched for a while in the corner of the kitchen and got a basket of ginger out.
"It's the ginger of the temple, you ......"
Mu Qing couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw that Mu Ling was already starting to cut the ginger and slap it into pieces.
"I have already given the abbot a silver tael, and I told them to buy it." Mu Ling explained, but his hand didn't stop, "The water source here is still clean, you go and bring some water and pour it in the pot." ”
Mu Qing nodded, and went to do it quickly.
Although she is a princess, she still has some strength. Just poured both pots of water to the brim, and I was already exhausted and out of breath.
Mu Ling couldn't help but snicker a few times when he looked at it, and then poured the patted ginger into it separately, and put some medicinal materials to prevent wind and cold, and then ignited the fire.
After boiling in the pot, I took two packets of brown sugar and poured them in and stirred, and finally the pot of ginger syrup was born.
It seems simple, but it's not easy.
After all this, Mu Ling asked Mu Qing to call a few little novices, put the ginger syrup in a clean bucket, and brought it to the place where the victims were resting.
"Papa-" Mu Ling clapped his hands, "Let's wake up first, get up first and drink some ginger syrup before going to sleep, it's freezing this day, we have to prevent some wind chill." ”
Naturally, the victims will not mind, and even thank them gratefully.
Adults more or less know that ginger syrup protects against the cold, but children don't cooperate like this.
Although it is brown sugar, there are medicinal herbs, and the ginger is spicy. This mouthful of hot taste, sweet, spicy and hot, how can children accept it?
When even a few children took a sip, they spit it out.
"Kid, if you don't drink this, you'll get sick!" Mu Qing was anxious and hurriedly ran over. I wanted to comfort the child, but I didn't want to scare the child into crying.
Suddenly, there was a cry in the room, which made people feel so irritable.
Mu Qing has no experience in coaxing children, and she is even more busy at this time, and she can't wait to give birth to three heads and six arms.
"Sook...... Husband! Mu Qing stood up and looked at Mu Ling helplessly.
It's just that the surrounding victims heard it, but they knew in their hearts that this benefactor's surname was Su.
"Come, try this, I bought the preserves." Mu Ling took out a paper bag from his arms, unfolded it and handed it to her, "Honey pickled, especially sweet." ”
When is it, I still want to eat preserves!
Mu Qing's heart was as anxious as a fire, but he didn't expect Mu Ling to be so calm.
Just as she was about to have a seizure, Mu Qing suddenly found that the crying around her seemed to have decreased a lot, and they all looked at her with blank eyes.
"Do you want to eat preserves, too?" The corners of Mu Ling's lips hooked up a smile, those smart eyes were shining, and the long jade stood in the moonlight, like a dancing immortal.
The children looked at him blankly, and a few weak 'thoughts' came out.
Mu Ling pulled Mu Qing back and put the candied fruit in her hand: "If you obediently drink a bowl of ginger candy tea, you can get a candied fruit, if you don't drink it, then your mouth is not spicy anyway, so you don't need to eat candied fruit!" ”
The reason she gave was scoundrel, but it worked for the children.
When even a child drank ginger candy tea in one go, he rushed up to line up to receive the candied fruit.
Such a harmonious situation finally made Mu Qing breathe a sigh of relief, and turned his head and winked at Mu Ling excitedly.
The intimate shape of the two only makes this group of victims feel that they are really a loving little couple.
What Mu Ling didn't expect was that in the future, a young couple surnamed Su would spread among this group of victims.
After drinking the ginger candy tea, the victims felt extremely warm, and they couldn't help but smile a little more.
Mu Ling saw that it was still early, so he simply squatted aside and chatted with a victim: "This big brother, where did you all come from?" How did you get here? ”
"We are all from a village in Yunlin County, so we ran out together."
