Chapter Ninety-Seven: Unfavorable Matters
Zhu Yuan asked Bai Bei to lead the way and took Ning Bosheng to the creek. She had asked Bai Bei to put the fish in beforehand, and the clear bottom of the creek was almost full of large and small fish swimming around.
Ning Bosheng has seen a lot of things, and he has never seen such a scene, the small stream that is not very wide is crowded with big fish and small fish, as long as you stretch out your hand, you can catch it.
"That's where I caught my fish." Zhu Yuan deliberately ignored his surprise, and touched the stream with his hand as if nothing happened, "The prince can try to catch them, it's easy." ”
"Where did these fish come from?" Ning Bosheng recovered from the shock, the stream was very long, and he didn't know where it would lead at all.
Of course, Zhu Yuan didn't know, so he casually pointed to a place not far away, "It may be swimming from the river over there." The water has dried up, and they have to find water on their own. ”
"Go back and get something, catch all these fish." Now is the time of food shortage, and Ning Bosheng plans to use the fish as food and distribute it to the refugees.
Zhu Yuan thought that Ning Bosheng was going to make dried fish again, so he couldn't help but stop him, "Lord Wang, if you eat too much salty dried fish, it may bring unknown diseases." ”
"Take it back first, boil it into fish soup, at least it can wrap your stomach." As soon as Ning Bosheng said this, Zhu Yuan had nothing to worry about, and took over the heavy responsibility of cooking.
The fish released from the fishing space are all prickly and spiny, and the soup is milky white, so you can smell the fragrance from afar.
The refugees, who had been hungry for several meals, were almost drooling when they were hooked by the smell.
Ning Bosheng asked people to set up a shed in the city, Zhu Yuan guarded the boiling fish soup, and Bai Bei shouted beside him, "Don't squeeze it, everyone has it, there are a lot left." ”
Although there is very little fish after boiling, drinking hot soup can also make the stomach feel a little more comfortable after not eating for a few days.
And with the craftsmanship of Zhuyuan, the fish soup is particularly delicious.
Ning Bosheng saw that she was busy and sweating profusely, so he took the initiative to walk over and take the spoon in her hand, "I'll come, you can rest next to her for a while." ”
On the first day, everyone was able to drink a bowl of fish soup with fish meat in it.
By the next day, all that was left was an empty bowl of soup. But it's better than nothing, at least you can taste the fish.
However, the fish that Ning Bosheng and the others brought back from the creek was limited, and after eating it for two days, it quickly bottomed out.
On the third day, only those who come early can drink the fish soup.
The refugees, who were a little late, hungry and hungry, didn't know where the strength came from, kicked over the shed they had built.
Ning Bosheng quickly retreated outside with her, and asked the troublemaker with a cold face, "What do you want to do?" ”
"I just want to eat." The refugee pointed to Ning Bosheng and them, "You are here for disaster relief, and you must take out food." ”
Zhu Yuan was stunned by his words, "Everything you can eat is given to you." She pointed to the collapsed shed, "You can see it yourself, the fish soup is gone." ”
"I don't care, I have to give us something to eat." Refugees also encourage others.
The refugees, who had been in order, became irritable one after another, staring at Zhu Yuan with a pair of eyes, and they had to take out something to eat.
In the end, it was the guards brought by Ning Bosheng who came and forcibly drove the refugees away, so that everyone was able to return to the prefect's mansion.
Zhu Yuan was sullen and didn't speak all the way.
"What are you thinking?" Ning Bosheng asked her.
"Aren't you sad?" Zhu Yuan didn't answer and asked, "The prince has thought of so many ways to save them, and they treat you like this." ”
"You don't think they deserve your help?" Ning Bosheng said exactly what she was thinking.
Zhu Yuan did not shy away from nodding, because the fish was taken out of the fishing space, and in order not to be discovered, she also deliberately imitated the creek. Now that they have finished eating, the refugees regard them as enemies, and she can't get over the hurdles in her heart.
"I'll take you somewhere." Ning Bosheng took her out without saying anything.
Zhu Yuan didn't know where he was going, so he followed behind him.
"Lord Wang, I wish the girl, you are here." The stranger smiled kindly at Zhu Yuan.
Ning Bosheng nodded at them, which was counted as a greeting.
The road was not very long, but Zhu Yuan and the others walked very slowly, because refugees kept coming to talk to them, so they had to stop.
Walking to the end of the road, Zhu Yuancai asked him suspiciously, "Who are they?" ”
"You gave them fish soup, and these people remember."
There are too many people who come to Zhuyuan every day to receive fish soup, and it is impossible for everyone to remember her.
She turned around and looked, and she didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but there were really a few familiar faces.
"Remember the wild fruits you ate?" Ning Bosheng's smile was always very gentle.
"Yes." Zhu Yuan nodded, "That's the best fruit I've ever tasted." ”
"Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Ning Bosheng went around in such a big circle just to untie her heart knot.
Zhu Yuan looked at the refugees not far away, and his heart was full of energy, "It's not uncomfortable, we will definitely think of a way as soon as possible to make all the refugees have enough to eat." ”
Back at the mansion, Ning Bosheng left. The famine is getting worse and the number of refugees pouring into Taihe is increasing every day, and they have to think of a solution.
Zhu Yuan didn't follow, she needed to consider whether her fishing space could help, so she hid in the house with Bai Bei and studied for a long time.
It wasn't until the next day that Zhu Yuan knew the method that Ning Bosheng and the others had discussed.
He looked through the local chronicles of the Taihe River and learned that there were many dark rivers under the Taihe River, and as long as he dug down, he could find a water source. This well is a truth, as long as you dig the right place, you can find water.
Ning Bosheng's method was supported by others, and everyone waited for the river under the ground,
However, a few days passed, and nothing was found.
Ning Bosheng was exposed to the wind and sun outside for several days, darker than before, sitting there alone, his back was extremely lonely.
Zhu Yuan learned from the others the result of their digging into the dark river, and walked to him with very light steps, "Lord Wang, it's time to eat." ”
"I'm not hungry." He didn't speak for a long time, which caused Ning Bosheng's voice to sound extremely hoarse, but it was very good.
Zhu Yuan had already guessed that this would be the case, so he put the food in front of him, "The prince can't go without eating or drinking all the time." ”
Ning Bosheng couldn't bear to brush off her kindness, and reluctantly ate a few bites.
"Is the prince worried about refugees?" That is, Zhu Yuan had the courage to mention this matter at this time.
"There is no water, there is not enough food, and once more people starve to death, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the people, and in serious cases, the world will be in chaos." Ning Bosheng is not alarmist, because no one can guarantee what people who have been cornered by natural disasters will do.
