Chapter 22: Compromise
"The lord of the city is a good man."
Exchanging the future for a hundred lives is not something that ordinary people can easily do.
Wei Songting smiled silently.
When the mood of the displaced people stabilized, Wei Songting ordered people to set up a shed outside the city to cook porridge for relief, and Su Ran would occasionally go to help, and by the way, he would help some injured people to see a doctor.
The news that there was a good-hearted and beautiful girl in the second straw hut at the city gate soon spread among the wanderers.
From the beginning, more than a dozen patients gradually lined up in a long line, and Su Ran was often too busy to take care of himself. However, although she didn't ask the people in the city lord's mansion to help, she had a tsundere and awkward little boy to deliver food and tea.
"How many more patients are there?" Xu Qingyun put down the food box in her hand, glanced at the long queue behind her, and frowned.
"There should be a while, why don't you go back to the City Lord's Mansion to rest first." Su Ran buried himself in writing the prescription, unhurried, and handwritten.
Hum.
Xu Qing didn't want to, and waited with his arms on the side.
Su Ran was secretly amused, and he was still concentrating on writing on his face.
When he went back, Su Ran's hands were so shaky that he couldn't use chopsticks to pick up vegetables, so he had to spoon and drink a bowl of vegetable porridge, thinking that tomorrow he would ask the staff of the city lord who could write to write the prescription on his behalf.
It's just that Su Ran didn't get his wish.
The granary ran in the middle of the night, and the fire was extremely big.
A hundred stones of corn turned into dust and charcoal overnight.
That night, Wei Songting summoned the people in the mansion to investigate one by one, and it was not until dawn that the case was solved - it was the son of the family who was beaten by the board who set the fire.
The shame of being beaten in public made him unable to hold his head up among the sons of the clan, so as soon as he recovered from his injuries, he secretly sent someone to sneak into the granary of the city lord's mansion and set it on fire, so as to vent his anger. It's just that in the end, I didn't expect a mansion travel token to expose them.
It is probably related to the face of the family, and after learning what happened, the head of the family personally escorted people to bear the guilt, promised to donate half of the family's surplus food, spoke sincerely, and even beat his precious only son in front of everyone.
The matter has come to this, although Wei Songting is angry, he can't vent it at will.
"How many stones of corn are left?" Wei Songting asked in a deep voice.
"City Lord, there are still fourteen stones left."
That's a hundred stone of corn, and now there are only fourteen stone left, and the homeless people will have to stay outside the city for a long time, and the number of them has been increasing recently......
Although grain trucks can pass now, a large number of displaced people have gathered outside other nearby capitals, and most of those capitals have adopted the method of locking down the city and leaving the displaced people to fend for themselves.
"Fortunately, Dye'er finally doesn't have to write a prescription until her hand hurts." Once the food is gone, the outside of Chijin City will return to the original state of purgatory on earth.
Xu Qingyan looked like she didn't care about anything, and she leisurely picked up the broken hair on her face and pulled it behind her ear, and was slapped off by Su Ran.
"You must have a way."
Su Ran looked at him directly.
"I didn't know that Dye looked up to me so much."
"Because you're Xu Qingyun." She said word by word.
Hearing this, Xu Qingyan's heart felt like she had been gently stroked by a feather, tickling.
The business with Ji Lao has been negotiated, and they will leave for Beijing in the near future, and he doesn't plan to care about the affairs of this Chijin City.
However, there was always a way for him to compromise.
"There's a way," Xu Qingyun seemed to have a headache, "but the city lord shouldn't like to act like this." ”
"I knew you had a way, say it quickly."
Su Ran's anxious little look somehow pleased Xu Qingyin, he was close to the fair-skinned and round earlobe, and two words escaped from his thin lips,
"Looting grain."
Looting food? Didn't the Wei City Lord always want to hijack the princes of the family and threaten them to send food with this?
"The same method doesn't work the second time."
Su Ran pouted slightly, she thought that he could come up with a good solution......
Xu Qingyun paused for a moment when her eyes touched the pink and shiny lips, and her voice was a little low,
"Don't rob the world this time, robbers."
