The butler nodded and said nothing more.

It has never rained in Dongcheng, seeing that there are more and more beggars on the street, and Xuan Ye's return to his house is getting later and later, Xu Tiantian knows that Xuan Ye cares about the people, and the business in the shop is not as good as before for a while, Xu Tiantian also began to frown.

Li Xiaohui looked at Xu Tiantian's worried appearance and touched her belly, the child in her belly was really hard, she hadn't been born yet, and she caught up with the drought.

"If this continues, I'm afraid that the people of Dongcheng will run away to other places to escape the famine, and there is still a place for us there?"

Xu Tiantian patted Li Xiaohui's hand lightly, "Xiaohui, don't go out these days, rest well, Xuanye and I will go and take a look at the beggars in the alley." ”

The summer is already hot, and it hasn't rained for a long time, so the ground is hot and hot.

"Good Samaritan, please give me something to eat, I haven't eaten in a long time, please die......"

Xu Tiantian and Xuan Ye walked to the box, many people had starved to death in the box, and no one cleaned it up, so they were lying sideways and vertically, and the flies were spinning on the corpse, Xu Tiantian only felt shocked when he saw it.

Some beggars saw that Xu Tiantian and Xuan Ye were dressed decently, and hurriedly crawled over and pulled Xu Tiantian's feet.

Xu Tiantian was startled, and subconsciously wanted to hide back, but there were people behind her, one didn't pay attention, and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Xuanye's mobile phone was also very fast, and she hugged her tightly in her arms.

Xuan Ye looked at Xu Tiantian, who seemed to be frightened, and frowned, there are some things that I can't complain about these refugees, they didn't mean to do this, but they have no way to live.

"This place is messy, it's really noisy, otherwise you might as well wait for me first."

Xu Tiantian's pale face shook her head gently, feeling a little happy in her heart. Fortunately, she persuaded Li Xiaohui at home, Li Xiaohui was already pregnant, if she was allowed to see this scene, she couldn't tell how uncomfortable she would be.

"It's okay, I'll come and see with you."

"Female Bodhisattva, female Bodhisattva, give me something to eat. The child is still young and very sick, please save the child. ”

Xu Tiantian and Xuan Ye were saying this, and a woman knelt on the ground and looked at Xu Tiantian, holding an infant child in her arms, the child was dying, and even the crying was extremely weak.

Xu Tiantian looked at the child's face flushed and frowned, "What is this child's disease?" ”

With tears streaming down her face, the woman took the child in her arms, and finally gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind.

"The child was born not long ago, it was not a serious illness, but he had never drunk enough milk since he was born, and he has not even touched a mouthful of rice soup since he was six months old, this child is still young, if Mrs. can save him, this child will be Mrs. in the future."

Xu Tiantian looked at the child, and the lady said that the child was already six months old, but the child was as weak as a newborn baby.

Xuan Ye glanced at Xu Tiantian, pitiful parents all over the world, looking at it, there are several parents in this world who are willing to educate their children to others, but they can't even support themselves, so they have to reluctantly cut their love for the safety of their children.

"Shen Qi, go find some food and some rice soup."

The woman kowtowed after listening to Xuan Ye's words, and reluctantly glanced at the child in her arms, "Thank you, master, thank you, madam." This child has only been born for half a year, and has not yet chosen a name, and in the future this child will be Mrs. 's, and the book-bound person will be able to give him a bite to eat from time to time, so that he will not starve to death like we do. ”

Before Xu Tiantian could speak, Shen Qi came over with two buns and a bowl of rice soup after a while, Xu Tiantian hurriedly handed the things in his hand to the woman, and was relieved to see the woman feeding the baby with a bowl of rice soup.

"Hurry up, where in the world are parents who are willing to give their children to others? This child is really cute, and he will definitely be a blessed you in the future. ”

When the woman heard Xu Tiantian's refusal, she knelt on the ground and refused to get up, "Madame dislikes this child?" I don't want Madame to treat this child as her own, I only hope that Madame can take him with her, even if it is a miscellaneous person in the future. ”

As a mother, she is naturally reluctant to give the child she conceived in October to others, but now she has caught up with natural disasters and man-made disasters in Dongcheng, and there has never been a rain, and the family has not been able to boil the pot, where is there still extra food to feed this child, not to mention that this child is so weak, if he forcibly stays by his side, maybe when he will die, rather than watching this child die, it is better to give him away, maybe if there is fate in the future, The mother and son will meet again. There is really no fate, the two of them are separate, and it is better than him dying at such a young age.

The sun in the sky was scorching, and after a while, Xu Tiantian was already sweating, Xu Tiantian glanced at Xuan Ye with some embarrassment, and Xuan Ye nodded at her slightly.

"Hurry up, this child is a piece of meat that fell from your body, there is naturally a mother-son relationship between you, since it is fate, you must cherish it. You don't have to worry that this child can't be fed, so, Shen Qi, you take her to the mansion first, and arrange some work for her at will. ”

The lady listened to Xu Tiantian's words and hurriedly thanked her, "Thank you, madam, thank you, madam!" Child, you and your mother don't have to be separated, child! ”

Along the way, the alleys were full of beggars. These things were originally handed over to Zhao Xian to deal with, before it seemed that a beggar was begging on the street, originally Xuanye asked Zhaoxian to deal with these beggars, but after two days of hard work, there was no beggar in the city, and some people thought that Zhaoxian used what kind of good method to make every family rich.

Now it seems that he is just looking for some people to suppress these beggars, and this semester he should only be in this alley for now, and he doesn't dare to go anywhere, and naturally he doesn't dare to wander the streets so blatantly.

"Lord Wang, Gao He found someone to spread the word that a lot of unknown objects were found in some crop fields, all of which were turned out of the land."

Xuan Ye and Xu Tiantian were just about to go back, when a guard suddenly came in a hurry, glanced at Xu Tiantian and finally said what he was about to say.

Xu Tiantian and Xuan Ye glanced at each other, "Go and take a look." ”

Many of the crops had dried up and cracked, and one by one they were like scars, "Lord Wang, these are the things, I have found them a few days ago." Dongcheng's agricultural output was not high, and even when it rained, crops did not grow well, probably because of these things. ”

Xuan Ye squatted down and looked at these brown ball-like things that were dug out of the soil, and the look in his eyes suddenly became a little complicated.

Xu Tiantian thought that she had made a mistake, took the thing in Xuan Ye's hand and looked at the sun carefully, and then cleaned the soil on the thing, Xu Tiantian patted Xuan Ye's shoulder, and suddenly became excited.

"Xuanye, the people of Dongcheng are saved!"

Xuan Ye didn't know why Xu Tiantian said this, "Why? "If it doesn't rain for a day, this field will never grow crops, and without crops, tens of thousands of people in the eastern city will only be hungry. Could it be that she has a good way to make this god rain?

"This thing is called a potato, or it can be called a potato. It doesn't need much water to grow, and it contains a lot of starch and is extremely filling. If this is the case, it will not be a problem for the people to survive this great drought. ”

Xuan Ye looked at the thing in Xu Tiantian's hand, he had never seen these, and he didn't know that the things that grew out of the soil could still be eaten.

"Tiantian, this thing was dug out of the soil and found, not on a tree, it's too dirty. If you give it to the people to eat easily, you will get sick. ”

Xu Tiantian has never eaten potatoes since she came to this place, and she has some understanding of potatoes, which is said to have come from the Western Regions, but she never thought to find it in this place.

Xu Tiantian took the potato in his hand, and looked at the pile of potatoes next to the land, and only felt hopeful.

"This thing tastes good. What's more, what happened to what was found in the soil? Which of the crops that the people ate did not grow out of the ground? ”

Even if it is not a drought, it rarely rains in Dongcheng, and if you want to solve the problem of food and clothing, you must grow more drought-tolerant food. The potato is an excellent crop right now.

"......"

"Just wash it, you can rest assured, you can definitely eat it. You must not have eaten it, wait until I show you a hand. Shen Qi, these are all good things, you find some people to transport them all to the palace, and then send them to those refugees. ”

Xuan Ye still wanted to say something, Xu Tiantian interrupted him directly, and things like potatoes naturally couldn't be let go.

Shen Qi glanced at Xuan Ye, and Xuan Ye nodded, which can be regarded as a default.

In the palace, Xu Tiantian was busy in the kitchen alone. First, the potatoes in the field were washed with water, then they were shredded potatoes, the minced garlic was mashed, some oil was put in a spoon to heat, and the peppers were put into the oil, and after a short time, a burst of fragrance came out.

The fungus in the other bowl has been soaking for a quarter of an hour, and your hot water is already boiling, Xu Tiantian lifted the lid and put the shredded potatoes in, and after all the shredded potatoes were turned over, the fungus was also put into the pot.
