"But Hatojo ......," Jing Xi frowned slightly.
Murong Yu said in unison with her: "In the border region, I will also worry about your safety." ”
"It's not because of this, you will also move with the barracks at that time, and other people who can't find relationships will also have to go, you can live there, what can't I live in?" Jing Xi smiled.
He continued: "I have seen the topographic map, there is a mountain range between Hatojo and Ugin Kingdom, this time they retreated, and it may not be easy to think about it next time, unless the generals defending the city are still as incompetent as they were decades ago. ”
"I'm just worried about the elderly and children, who don't necessarily come to terms with this reality so quickly."
"I understand your scruples." Murong Yu frowned, he looked at the ruined walls and uneven land,
"It will also take a lot of manpower and material resources to renovate here, and it may not be able to catch up with next year's spring ploughing, and everyone who continues to stay here will only starve next year."
"I wish you could get out of here, but I want you to go to Anseong, where I can make your home in Anseong."
Jing Xi knew that for her sake, he was willing to help his grandmother and Sheng Rong share a room.
But this is not her business alone after all: "I'd better discuss it with my grandmother first, maybe they have their own ideas." ”
"It's okay, I think Sheng Ting will know about this soon, and Sheng Ting has contributed a lot to the recovery of Jiucheng this time. He will definitely get his own mansion in Hatojo. ”
"Of course, if Grandma Sheng wants to stay in this area, I can also arrange it. But I would prefer that you all go to Anseong. ”
"You know," Murong Yumai looked at Jing Xi expectantly, "because that way, you will be able to get closer to me." ”
……
The damage in the town was relatively light, and Murong Yu asked Yaoshan to find a place to live first.
Mrs. Sheng didn't want to trouble Murong Yu, of course she knew that Murong Yu was doing all this for Jing Xi.
She also has relatives to run to in the town, and the Li family and the third family are in the town.
Mrs. Sheng has her own insistence, Jing Xi and Murong Yu didn't force it for the time being, after all, it is not clear how the situation of the Sanfang family is now, and they will only know when they go to the town first.
Traveling more than 30 miles west to Pingkou Town, some two-story buildings in the town collapsed, and the rest of the houses were not badly damaged, and there were cracks in the streets, but the situation was not serious.
The doors of those shops selling grain and oil are even more lively than ever, probably because everyone knows that many places in the countryside have been more seriously affected, and they are worried that there will be no food to eat in the coming year, so they start stockpiling grain.
Yaoshan had found a vacant yard and rented it.
Mrs. Sheng originally wanted to go directly to the third child, Sheng Chang, but she was really tired when she thought of a few small ones, so she followed Jing Xi to the courtyard arranged by Murong Yu first.
The walls of the courtyard had collapsed somewhat, but it had been dealt with long before they came.
The loquat tree is a little crooked, but it has little effect on living and living.
The rest of the people in the village were still freezing and starving, but they were able to rest in such a good courtyard because of Murong Yu's presence.
Mrs. Sheng took Sheng Rong to thank Murong Yu and said 'thank you' over and over again.
Jing Xi also had a thousand words in his heart, but as soon as he touched the softness in Murong Yu's eyes, the words he wanted to say turned into a silent smile.
Murong Yu couldn't stay for a long time, he had to rush to the county office, and only accompanied Jing Xi to go out to buy daily necessities.
There was a shallow crack in the front street, so Murong Yu took Jing Xi's hand, and he still didn't let go after crossing the hurdle.
Under his wide-sleeved robe, the two of them held hands to keep each other warm.
Yaoshan and Jinshui followed behind the two of them.
"The order of the Qi Palace's palace will arrive in about three days, before that, you will live here, and I will come to plan with you when the order is down."
"Three days?" Jing Xi frowned slightly.
Murong Yu looked at her: "It's already very soon." ”
"The village was flooded overnight, and many families couldn't bring out all the food, and I don't know how long they can hold out."
"You can rest assured about this, I will deal with it when I go to the county office."
There is the main street in front, Murong Yu needs to go, and every time Jing Xi sees him leave, he always feels that his back is very thin.
It's just that at this moment, she can't accompany him.
……
A middle-aged couple in the courtyard next door stacks bricks under the courtyard wall.
The man said: "The main street is full of houses, there is little open space, and I heard that many people have been stoned to death." Although our house is not on the main street, you see, it is better not to be on the main street than not on the main street. ”
"Yes, it's really pitiful, I heard that there was a woman at the private school who was fine, but she rushed in to save her child."
"I've also heard that the woman's body was stiff when she was found, but she kept her baby under her body. Alas, being a mother is strong, and it has not been easy for you all these years. ”
After the catastrophe, the woman was about to cry, laughed again, and clenched the man's hand: "It's not easy, but it's good to be alive." ”
Hearing this, Jing Xi quickened his pace.
As soon as she reached out and pushed the courtyard door, Mrs. Sheng walked out of it.
"You heard that, right?" The two looked at each other, and Mrs. Sheng asked anxiously, "Could the person they talked about just now be the third family?" ”
"I'm going to go over and have a look, too." For most of the past half a year, Jing Xi has been stopping the pain medicine for Du Yingniang, and every time they meet, she will take a look at Sheng Yuan's child and buy him some food to send over.
The child has been living in a private school since he was enlightened, hoping that the couple next door just now is not talking about their mother and son.
……
Jing Xi led Mrs. Sheng to Shengchang's house.
Mrs. Sheng had heard Sheng Chang say which street and which number his family lived in, but this was her first time here.
When you look at it from the outside, the only thing that feels like it's small, too small, and you can't turn around.
Mrs. Sheng sighed: "Does the third child live like this in the town?" ”
She originally wanted to say that it was not as good as the house in the countryside of Lotus Village, but when she thought that Lotus Village was gone, she sighed.
Jingxi went over and knocked on the door.
The courtyard door opened with a light touch.
Inside, Sheng Chang was arguing with Gao Xiuxiu, the dragon and phoenix fetus were lying on the window of the room and secretly looking outside, and the Li family was holding the youngest child and coaxing him to sleep.
And at the feet of Sheng Chang and Gao Xiuxiu was the corpse of Du Yingniang wrapped in a straw mat.
They were arguing over whether to buy a coffin for Du Yingniang.
Gao Xiuxiu did not back down a step:
"Now that the walls of the house have fallen down and need to be repaired, and the roof has to be repaired, and everyone on the street is stockpiling food, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the children.
What is the bad thing to do with two taels of silver, what can you do when you buy a coffin? There is no use for fart! A straw mat is enough, it's a big deal to find a good place to bury it, you still think she is your wife! ”
