Chapter Twenty-Three: Rebuilding the Screen City
The fire burned for three days, and all the love, hatred, and hatred in Pingcheng were all wiped out and finally turned into ashes.
During this period, many people turned back, they were stationed outside the city gate, looking at the messy screen city with empty eyes, desperate.
"God is angry, we are completely finished!"
The crowd wailed, and they knelt on the ground in rags, kowtowing incessantly, praying to the sky reverently, begging God to open the net and save their dying souls.
"Folks, God has been merciful and has given us a chance to be born again. We must seize the opportunity and not let down God's good intentions. ”
These days, Lu Anjin has been boiling soup for these hungry people day and night, and she has not been able to rest well for several days, at this time her face is sallow, her eyes are bloodshot, and her upper and lower eyelids are inseparable, and she can't wait to hold up her eyelids with a wooden stick.
"Miss, do you want to take a break, you're too tired."
Lu Anjin's expression was a little dazed, but she still shook her head, the people's hearts had collapsed, which was the last thing she wanted to see.
People live for a lifetime, some choices are helpless, and some losses are destined. There are some things that are in the past, let it pass, and regret is useless; Some people forget them when they leave, and it is useless to miss them.
"Miss Lu, what do you mean by this?"
The villagers all looked at her intently, with a heavy hope in their eyes, as if Lu Anjin's next words were their only salvation.
"A fire from the sky means that God has burned all the past suffering, put it to death and then live, and then rebirth. Folks, God has given us a chance to live a new life, and we must not live up to God's kindness. ”
The villagers don't seem to believe it.
"Otherwise, how can we explain the fire?"
After all, arson is a small act, and it should not be high-profile, so it can only be carried out secretly. Therefore, the people thought that this fire was a punishment from God.
The villagers whispered and talked a lot.
Lu Anjin continued, "There is only one chance, either we give up Pingcheng and move to other cities to make a living. But folks, can you really give up your roots? ”
This is the land where their ancestors have lived for generations, how can they give it up?
The people were convinced, and they all knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly and reverently thanking God.
Lu Anjin couldn't cry or laugh, she made persistent efforts, "Folks, we will solve the food problem as soon as possible, from tomorrow, we will start to rebuild our homes and build a new screen city, okay!" ”
"Good! Good! Good! The villagers waved their hands and cheered.
Seeing that their dead hearts were finally alive again, Lu Anjin breathed a sigh of relief, and the hanging heart returned to its original position.
Special means must be used in special times, and she has to admit that she did use a little bit this time. Using the faith of the people, a spiritual rescue operation was carried out.
Thankfully, she succeeded.
"Ling Zuo, my father has a reply, when will the food arrive?"
If you don't have a full stomach, how can you work well!
"It's time to arrive."
Lu Anjin raised her head, and the dazzling sunlight shone directly on the door, making her eyes blank. Next, faintly, she seemed to hear Ling Zuo's voice...
"Miss, wake up."
Ling Zuo and Ling Right's hearts were all in their throats, Lu Anjin made a mistake, and it was a trivial matter to kill himself in front of the prince. The most important thing is that she is now the spiritual pillar of the people, and the people's emotions have just stabilized, if they collapse again, it will not be so easy to pick them up again.
"Let's carry the young lady into the carriage first."
You can't let her lie on the ground all the time.
Ling Zuo Ling Right, you look at me, I look at you, the eyes of both of them are full of struggle. This is the prince's people, they don't dare to cross the rules, for fear that the prince will abolish them!
"Two big brothers, what are you thinking, if you drag it out any longer, Miss will definitely be delayed by you."
Ling Zuo gritted his teeth, as if he was about to die, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was beaten aside by one hand before he touched Lu Anjin's clothes.
The force was so great that it was like going to break his arm.
Ling You raised his head and asked in surprise, "Lord Wang, why are you here?" ”
Qi Xiaoyun bent down to pick up Lu Anjin and put her in the carriage, he turned his head and glanced at Ling Zuo coldly, who hurriedly knelt on the ground in fright, "Subordinates should be damned!" ”
In just a few days, she has lost a lot of weight, and they really deserve to die!
The villagers all stared at the man who fell from the sky, for fear that he would abduct the fairy in their hearts.
Ling You consciously knelt next to Ling Zuo, and respectfully admitted his mistake, "Subordinates should be damned!" ”
These days, they see everything Lu Anjin has done. Compared with those delicate daughters, Miss Lu is simply a mudslide in a clear stream.
Not squeamish, not pretentious, everything is done by herself, she is not an exaggeration to say that she will die after doing her best for the sake of the people.
Such a resolute and brave girl deserves their admiration!
Qi Xiaoyun waved his hand and got into the carriage silently. The two quickly got up from the ground, consciously stood on both sides of the carriage, and lowered the curtains, blocking the inquiring eyes of the people.
"Miss Lu, Miss Lu!"
"Folks, don't worry, Miss is fine, it's just too tired and needs to rest."
"Who was that man just now, and will it be unfavorable to Miss Lu?" Looking at the fierce and vicious, at first glance, he is not a good person!
Ling Zuo replied with a light smile, "Folks, don't worry, no!" ”
The villagers were still not at ease, they sat not far from the carriage, and their eyes turned to the carriage from time to time.
On the carriage, Qi Xiaoyun took out a small bottle from his arms, he gently picked up the sleeping beauty, and slowly poured the medicinal juice in the bottle into her mouth.
However, Lu Anjin in her sleep was very dishonest, no matter what he did, she just refused to cooperate, and the medicine was wasted more than she drank it.
Qi Xiaoyun was helpless, he hesitated, and finally took off the mask.
Finally finished feeding the medicine, Qi Xiaoyun was sweating all over, Lu Anjin suddenly coughed lightly, his body moved, he hurriedly picked up the mask and put it back on.
Lu Anjin half-opened his eyes, saw the familiar mask, and a shallow smile appeared on his pale face, "You are really ghostly, I can see you in my sleep." Where have you been? ”
The muttering gradually lost his voice, the corners of Qi Xiaoyun's mouth twitched, he waited for half an hour, and saw that Lu Anjin's breathing was becoming stable, so he relieved himself.
He hesitated, but finally raised his hand and gently touched her hair.
Qi Xiaoyun lifted the curtain, Ling Zuoling clasped his fists and shouted: "Lord Wang! ”
"Hmm."
"Are you staying?"
"Nope."
Ling You boldly asked, "Why did you come here suddenly?" ”
"By the way."
The corners of Ling Zuo's mouth twitched, but he chose wittily and didn't say anything.
Ling You didn't think about it so much, he opened his mouth and said, "But, Lord Wang, aren't you going..."
He didn't finish his words because Ling Zuo stomped on him fiercely.
Qi Xiaoyun looked at them expressionlessly, and his voice was cold, "If there is a next time, come and see you!" ”
The two replied in unison, "Yes!" ”
It wasn't until he couldn't see Qi Xiaoyun's figure anymore that Ling Zuo asked Ling You with hatred, "Are you impatient, you dare to criticize the prince's affairs." ”
"Isn't my mind at a loss? The prince is obviously going to the south, we are in the north, how can he stop by the way. ”
The green tendons on Ling's left forehead jumped, and he had nothing to say about his pig brain. Is he stupid, he can't figure out such a simple thing!
"Oh, by the way, how did the prince know that Miss Lu was sick."
Ling Zuo said expressionlessly, "I will report Miss Lu's news to the prince every day. ”
Ling You suddenly realized, "I see! ”
I finally figured it out, it seems that it has not yet reached the point of no cure!
Lu Anjin woke up after not sleeping long, she rubbed her sore head, and climbed out of the car with a snort.
"Miss, are you awake?"
Lu Anjin rubbed his head that was still protesting, and asked in a dumb voice, "How long have I been asleep?" ”
"Two hours."
She remembered the dream that was too real, and after being silent for a while, she couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything today..."
Lu Anjin didn't say anything halfway through his words, Ling You, the monk who was the second zhang, couldn't figure it out, and asked with a confused face, "What's there?" ”
"Is there any today... Is there anyone coming? ”
Ling You was just about to speak, Ling Zuo came back, he respectfully saluted Lu Anjin, "Miss, the food has been in place, and the subordinates have already distributed it to the villagers, what should we do next?" ”
"Did you find the person I asked you to find?"
Ling Zuo nodded, "I'm on my way here." ”
"That's good." She smiled and said, "You can go and rest for a while, too." ”
"Subordinates obey!"
The two were about to leave, but Lu Anjin stopped Ling You, "You haven't answered my question just now." ”
Ling You smiled innocently, "The prince has been here today." ”
It wasn't a dream!
"Where is he?"
"The prince is gone."
Lu Anjin was shocked, "Let's go!" "Why did you leave so quickly!
Ling Zuo explained: "The prince still has important matters! ”
Lu Anjin nodded in despair, and then she raised a faint smile, "You guys go down and rest." ”
Ling Zuo Ling left right, Lu Anjin sat on the ground alone with her legs crossed, she remembered the scene in her dream that made her blush and heartbeat, and couldn't help touching her lips.
The next day, just after dawn, the villagers got up early, and they stood in front of the carriage in high spirits, waiting for Lu Anjin to take them to do a big job.
"Folks, use our strength to build an ideal home, a new life is waiting for us!"
"Rebuild Pingcheng, rebuild your hometown!"
Ling Zuo gave some herbs to the villagers in case of emergency.
Lu Anjin said with concern, "Folks, the situation in the city is not yet known, be careful." ”
"Don't worry, Miss Lu."
The large army entered Pingcheng in a mighty way, and what caught their eyes was the burning blackened ruins, a mess, full of devastation, and shocking.
The villagers couldn't help but burst into tears, they held back the grief in their hearts, and consciously started to work without waiting for Lu Anjin to give an order. Everyone knows in their hearts that the sooner they work, the sooner the new life will come.
Grief makes a person grow, and without going through hardships, it cannot be said to have a complete life.
The villagers turned their grief into strength and put all their enthusiasm into the reconstruction work, uniting as one!
Lu Anjin looked at the hot villagers with satisfaction, and her still pale pretty face finally showed a sweet smile!
