Mu Yao told Fu Qing all the causes and consequences of the incident, she really didn't expect the emotions of those ordinary people to be so excited.

Fu Qing explained, "You have to know that these people are not ordinary people, they are refugees, refugees who haven't eaten a few meals in the past few months, so don't say it's black rice, even if it's poisoned rice, they will eat it without hesitation!" Do you understand? ”

Mu Yao nodded understandingly, but even so, that magistrate shouldn't have sent those bad black rice to the people! She'll have to figure out something!

The two walked side by side, Mu Yao's heart was chaotic, what should she do for these refugees? Now that she's touched it, she can't sit idly by.

At this time, he heard the sound of crying on the street, Mu Yao looked up, only to see not far away, there was an eight or nine-year-old boy sitting in the snow crying, Mu Yao hurriedly ran over, when he saw the child's face, Mu Yao couldn't help but be shocked, he actually had a face that looked like the deceased eighth elder brother.

Fu Qing walked over and couldn't help but exclaim, he was too similar to Eighth Elder Brother.

Mu Yao squatted down and comforted him with tears, "Little brother, what's wrong with you?" Why are you crying here? ”

The little boy sobbed and said, "My grandmother is sick and dying." ”

Seeing the little boy crying so hard, Mu Yao was even more distressed, and she said comfortingly, "Little brother, don't cry, where is your grandmother?" Take us to see it. ”

The two followed the little boy to a courtyard, which was not large, but fortunately it could shelter from the wind and rain.

Before he entered the door, he heard a cough in the house, and the little boy hurriedly ran in and asked distressedly, "Grandma, are you better?" ”

The old woman was obviously a handful of old men, with white hair disheveled, even a little knotted, dark skin, even rougher, and her sackcloth covered with patches, and she looked like a beggar.

"Xiao An, are there any guests at home?" The old woman asked with some trembling, and then Mu Yao realized that this old woman was a blind woman.

The child, Xiao An, nodded and said, "Grandma, it's Xiao An who came to see you." ”

The old woman shook her head, a hint of helplessness on her face, "Grandma said, grandma is fine." ”

Speaking of this, the old woman coughed violently again, not so much coughing as coughing up blood, Xiao An was so frightened that she immediately screamed.

Mu Yao hurriedly held Xiao An in his arms, and Fu Qing stepped forward to seal the old woman's bloodline and let the old woman stabilize a little.

After appeasing Xiao An, Mu Yao walked to the old woman, raised his hand to test the old woman's heart, only to see Mu Yao's brows tightly locked, he knew that the old woman had no skills, she shook her head powerlessly, Xiao An saw this, and cried even more.

After a while, the old woman's condition stabilized a little, she tried to hold herself up, raised her rough hands, Xiao An immediately stepped forward to hold it, he asked worriedly, "Grandma, what's wrong with you?" ”

"I'm afraid grandma won't be able to!" The old woman gasped and continued, "Xiao An, grandma is old, it's time to go, but I don't worry about you." ”

"Grandma!" Xiao An cried again, "You'll be fine!" ”

After saying that, Xiao An immediately ran to Mu Yao's side, took Mu Yao's hand, and cried, "Sister, I beg you, save my grandma." ”

Mu Yao was in tears, she also wanted to help the elderly, but doctors are not omnipotent.

"Xiao An, don't cry, listen to grandma!" The old woman was a little panting, she waved her hands, Mu Yao hurriedly stepped forward to hold it, the old woman grabbed Mu Yao tightly, panting and said, "You can come to see my old woman, you can see that you are a good person, my grandson is a poor man, his parents died early, follow me, a blind woman, has not lived a good life, please take him in!" ”

"Please." The old woman, as she spoke, knelt on the ground and prayed to Mu Yao.

Mu Yao hurriedly hugged the old woman, and then said softly, "Old man, don't be excited. ”

Seeing that the old woman was about to die, Mu Yao hurriedly comforted her, "You have a good rest, you will be fine." ”

The old woman shook her head, the corners of her mouth showed a touch of helplessness, and she continued, "I have a cheap life, it is not a pity to die, pity my grandson, please, please!" ”

Seeing that the ancestors and grandchildren were so pitiful, where could she bear to refuse the old woman, she nodded vigorously, "Old man, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Xiao An!" ”

Hearing Mu Yao's promise, the old woman finally closed her eyes with peace of mind and ended her miserable life.

helped Xiao An bury the old woman, and Mu Yao and Fu Qing took Xiao An back to the post station.

Mu Yao patted Xiao An on the shoulder and said to him seriously, "Xiao An will follow me in the future, and I will not let anyone hurt you." ”

Xiao An nodded, and at this time, Hongyang came back from outside, and Mu Yao looked at his frowning brows, and knew that the situation here was not optimistic.

"Wechen see and the prince!" Fu Qing Dynasty made a big salute.

Hongtian hurriedly helped Fu Qing up, his frowning brows finally loosened a little, and then said, "It's great that you're here!" ”

At this time, Mu Yao brought Xiao An to Hongyang, and then said, "Master, who do you see who he is?" ”

"Eighth brother!" Hongtian exclaimed, he hugged Xiao An excitedly, and then said with tears in his eyes, "Eighth brother, fifth brother wants you to death!" ”

Xiao An looked at the strange man in front of him with a frightened expression, Mu Yao immediately stepped forward and said, "Xiao An, this is the fifth brother, don't be afraid!" ”

Hongtian only came back to his senses at this time, and his eighth brother had passed away!

Mu Yao told Xiao An's situation to Hongday, Hongday had always felt guilty because he was not by his side when the eighth elder brother died, so when he saw Xiao An, he unconsciously felt a little kind, so he agreed to keep Xiao An by his side.

Because the disaster situation here was severe, Hongyang immediately went to the severely affected area with Fu Qing, and Mu Yao had to stay obediently with Xiao An in the post station.

Xiao An didn't seem to have recovered from the pain of losing his loved ones, so Mu Yao had to accompany him in the post station for two days until Xiao An's state calmed down.

Through Xiao An, I learned that Yanshan County has long been like an empty city, because most of the refugees have fled, and the rest are some old, weak, sick and disabled, or some idlers who eat and wait for death.

This is also the reason why it is difficult to rebuild Yanshan County after the disaster, because the strong men and laborers here are gone, and there is no one to work, and only relying on the soldiers and soldiers sent by the imperial court is not a long-term way after all.

Mu Yao couldn't help but feel embarrassed, she opened her mouth and asked Xiao An, "Then what do you think of your county?" ”

Xiao An said without thinking, "Sister, that magistrate is the bad guy who eats people without blinking!" ”
