Chapter 81: On the Way to Disaster Relief
"So you take me with you, and this is what the eldest brother asked General Lu to explain to you, right?" Feng Nanqi blinked.
Feng Nan-san shrugged and admitted what she said, but he really didn't understand why Feng Nanyi insisted on letting him take this little guy away, but now it seems that maybe he thinks he is too stupid?
Maybe, the reason why Feng Nanyi let Qi Yatou follow is probably because she has a more delicate mind and insight than him, probably with her, she can understand the truth behind this matter.
"By the way, I have some news about that kid at Hua Qianchu here." Feng Nansang spoke silently, although he was very reluctant to mention that guy, but he understood that this little girl cared far more about that guy than she seemed.
Feng Nanqi, who had just gone through two periods of depression, fell into a short silence after hearing the name "Hua Qianchu".
"It's such a familiar name, who is it?"
Feng Nansang looked at the little guy in front of him in surprise, was it because the blow was too big recently that made her selectively amnesia?
"Oh, I remembered, it seems like my daughter-in-law picked it up, and then he ran away." Feng Nanqi said leisurely, still unable to resist the loss in his eyes.
"Since you ran away, then ......"
"No! He's ruthless, I can't be unjust, what is the news? Feng Nanqi roared loudly, and swallowed back his brother's ruthless and unrighteous words in fright.
The little girl had a little expectation in her eyes, and she was as well-behaved as the big yellow dog wagging his tail in Lu Wanwan's house.
Sure enough, I still care about it, "The dead duck has a hard mouth." ”
Feng Nansang rolled his eyes, took out a letter from his arms, and before a second Feng Nanqi hung on his arm.
He smiled and dragged his sister to sit on his shoulder, Feng Nanqi leaned on Feng Nansang's head with both hands and couldn't wait to open the letter.
"Are you saying that I can see Huahua this time for disaster relief?" Feng Nanqi raised her voice excitedly, and almost wanted to slap the table to cheer, but she was on her brother's shoulder, so she could only pat her head.
"Horses, boom! Let's go for disaster relief! Feng Nanqi hugged Feng Nansang's forehead and shouted, making everyone present laugh.
It's the only time to be like a child.
Feng Nansang protected Feng Nanqi around his neck and began to wander around, because the disaster relief will only start tomorrow, and the two of them have a lot of fun.
"Qiqi, I always feel that you don't look like people in our world." Feng Nansang said, which made the little girl in his head swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Not to mention, it's quite loud.
"It's just a matter of talking, swallowing saliva." Feng Nansang laughed, his eyebrows and eyes were doting.
Feng Nanqi lay on his head, making his neck feel sinking, but he continued to speak.
"I just think that whether it is you or your father, you are people who belong to the same world, and you and your father don't spend much time together, but you can always understand what he means by those strange words.
That feeling has nothing to do with the relationship between father and daughter, friends, and it is not a heart, but more like a way of life.
No matter what you want to do, or what you do, your father will support you. In addition to caring for his daughter, there is also a kind of trust from the heart.
Because the seven girls are the kind of people who have their own reasons for whatever they do. ”
"Hiccup~" Feng Nansang said and was waiting for her answer, but it turned out that Feng Nanqi hiccuped.
"Hahaha, sorry! I ate a little too much in the morning, and I couldn't hold back the bouncing on your shoulder. ”
Feng Nanqi explained embarrassedly, scratching his head heartlessly.
"It stinks, did you eat leeks in the morning?" Feng Nan-sang quipped, disgust written on his face, although he didn't smell anything.
"Nonsense, it's garlic!" Feng Nanqi retorted loudly.
But then the voice gradually became quieter, and there was a slight temptation, "If I say, I mean if!" Are you telling the truth? ”
Feng Nansang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed so hard that tears came out: "I just said it, why are you still serious?" ”
"Even if it's true, you're my sister too. No matter where you and your father come from, all I know is that you will always be my family in this world. ”
And I will protect you for the rest of your life.
For a moment, Feng Nanqi didn't know how to react. My heart is warm, and my nose is sour.
"Shhhh Stinky girl, what are you doing on my head, it hurts! Feng Nansang felt a heavy blow to his head, and the pain made him grin his teeth.
"Lift your skull." She said something he didn't understand, and the pain in her head made her tears fall out of her eyes and fall on Feng Nansan's hair.
Feng Nansang looked indignant, "It's really heartless, what I said is so sensational, how can you be moved?" ”
He heard Feng Nanqi sniffing, and then another explanation he didn't understand.
"Because you're not bald."
……
A day later, the carriage had left the red wall and green tiles.
Before leaving, Feng Nanlu also took out the small snacks he had treasured for a long time, and said the last sentence that was particularly inadequate.
"After all, if you die on the road, you won't be able to eat something so delicious."
But this dream was ruthlessly hit: "I have the Flying Eagle Squad, as well as the third brother and the Wanwan sister, I am not afraid of the plague, because I brought the imperial doctor and a bunch of medicinal herbs, you will die of this heart!" But I won't give you back the snacks! ”
The road was bumpy, because on the way to disaster relief, except for camping at night, I only rested a few times on the way.
At the fork in the road ahead, General Lu was about to part with them. After this separation, the number of troops and manpower will be reduced by half, which is also a big thing, and the two are hiding under a tree to discuss.
Feng Nanqi bored with the weeds on the side of the road to weave a grass ring, knitted a ring for Sister Wanwan, knitted a bracelet for Sister Wanwan, and knitted a head ring for Sister Wanwan.
"Ahhhh Feng Nanqi looked at the "rings" on the ground one after another, and scratched his hair frantically.
At this time, the imperial doctor saw it, and silently recycled the herbs that were used as weeds by Feng Nanqi to weave all kinds of trinkets, and then gave her a warm hint when she was crazy.
"Little princess, it's easy to go bald if you scratch your hair like this."
Feng Nanqi was still thinking about whether to believe what he said, and then glanced up at his hairline.
Well, it's better to trust it.
"We took the remaining one-third of the grain and grass, and in about half a month we were able to reach the bandits' stronghold. This one-third of the grain and grass is enough to last for a month and a half, and the rest of the troops are used to take care of the grain and grass for disaster relief. General Lu discussed with Feng Nansang there, and then made some preparations, and the two teams parted ways completely.
Before leaving, Lu Wanwan stopped him uneasily, "Daddy, be careful on the road." ”
When Lu Xiu heard this, he turned his horse's head, waved at her, and made a gesture.
It was a gesture that General Lu would make every time he fought, meaning that he would return safely.
Feng Nansang patted her on the shoulder lightly, and called Feng Nanqi to prepare to go.
"Third brother, the path ahead is the path to the disaster area." Feng Nanqi reminded in a low voice, "I think it's better to divert food." ”
Feng Nansang, who was sitting in front of the carriage, thought about it for a while and adopted this suggestion.
"Qiqi, do you mind if you lend me the Flying Eagle?" Feng Nan-san asked a certain guy who was mercilessly nibbling on the snacks given by Feng Nanlu.
"I don't mind, I don't mind, it doesn't matter if I use it badly." She buried her head in the snacks and answered without thinking about it.
"Is it for the Flying Eagles to escort the food that has been diverted?" Lu Wanwan asked.
Feng Nansang nodded, "This road leads directly to the disaster area, it is the fastest way to get there, most refugees will choose this road, if there is too much food, it is easy to be hindered and affect the trip."
However, the other road does not guarantee that there will be no refugees, so we can only send more people to protect it. ”
Lu Wanwan nodded and sat back in the car.
This season has already begun to be in the cold winter, and although the disaster area has been flooded, snow has begun to fall. There were also faint white traces along the way, and there were some victims with cold faces and blue faces.
Although staying to distribute food would hinder the trip, seeing the groups of scrawny people and those frail children through the car window made Feng Nanqi and Lu Wan unbearable.
But they had no choice but to go a little further ahead to reach the post station, where they had arranged for people to give porridge and grain. But when they are so emotional, they can only keep their sanity and can't be emotional.
"There's only one day's journey from here to the station, and I don't know how many of them will be able to make it to that point."
Lu Wanwan watched the attendants from the car window while evacuating the victims and encouraging them, Feng Nanqi simply did not raise his head and continued to bow his head and fight for snacks.
She had forgotten what it was like to be hungry, but she knew very well that it was hard to be hungry.
Feng Nansang also entered the window, and the atmosphere in one carriage was very dull, only Feng Nanqi kept nibbling on pastries like a hamster.
"Eat less, the food given by Xiaoliu is the kind of thing that is relatively small but easy to eat, and it will be uncomfortable to eat too much later." Waiting for Feng Nanqi to finish nibbling on the last piece of pastry in his hand, Feng Nansang silently put away the remaining pastries.
Feng Nanqi ran out of food and suddenly froze, she leaned against the car window and looked at the ice and snow outside, "The snow is three feet white, many victims are not even clothed, but they can last so long, human beings are really tenacious and fragile." ”
Feng Nansang also ate a piece of pastry, and let Lu Wanwan also eat a piece. Then the two of them realized that they had to eat because they were sad, and the pastries at this time were unexpectedly delicious.
In fact, although Feng Nanlu has a poisonous tongue, he cares about Feng Nanqi very much, and the snacks he prepared are portable and full, and he also understands that Feng Nanqi loves to eat when he is unhappy.
It is inevitable to see some distressing scenes on the road to disaster relief, and most people will feel uncomfortable in this situation, so they have prepared so much food.
"Don't think about it, you two girls, when there are still a bunch of things in the disaster area, you have to save your energy, what you want to do now is to have a good rest."
Feng Nansang added some carbon blocks to the stove again, and the blankets were placed over the two little girls.
"That's not what I'm thinking about." Feng Nanqi whispered, Lu Wanwan looked over, and said, "It's not this thing I'm thinking about." ”
"In addition to meeting the victims along the way, we also saw a lot of mountain bandits, and they also said that they only robbed some rich people's grain and grass, and their clothes did not look like slaughtering villages." Feng Nanqi expressed the doubts in her heart, and Lu Wanwan also agreed with her statement.
"It's true, and I don't think it's that simple, and those bandits also say that they don't know anyone who is capable of slaughtering the village.
In this way, it feels like someone is getting in the way, taking advantage of the outbreak of the disaster and plundering in the name of mountain bandits. The more she continued, the more uneasy she felt, and she always felt that things were not so simple.
"Maybe it's just been hidden for a long time, and it's just to expand the realm while the imperial court is distracted by this flood, so Sister Wanwan shouldn't think so much."
Feng Nanqi was comforting Lu Wanwan, but he was definitely not comforting himself.
No matter how you say this, I feel very strange, and I feel that everything is too coincidental.
The dam collapsed by coincidence, the flood came by coincidence, the bandits were dispatched by coincidence, and the village was slaughtered by such a coincidence.
Sometimes the coincidence is too much, and it feels artificial, but there is a high chance that it is just a coincidence.
Hopefully, she's just thinking too much.
"It's true that you've been worried since Master left, so take a good rest first. After a while, we will be in the disaster area, and if you don't have a good rest for a while, you won't have a chance. Feng Nan-san soothed her emotions.
Maybe it was because the journey was too tired for her, and Lu Wanwan quickly fell asleep.
The inside of the carriage gradually heated up, and Feng Nanqi couldn't stop the sleepiness and fell asleep.
Feng Nansang looked at the two girls who were asleep, gently covered them with blankets, and then extinguished the carbon fire out of the carriage.
The coachman endured the cold wind and drove the car, although his face was tightly wrapped, his face was red.
He couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Feng Nansang coming out of the carriage, "Why didn't the third prince stay in the carriage and come out to get cold?" ”
Feng Nansang smiled heartily, "In the past, when Master was training, he had to take off his clothes and lie on his stomach in the snow for three hours, and he almost froze to death several times in the middle. ”
"Is the third prince planning to become a general? I heard that you volunteered to worship General Lu as a teacher. The coachman set up the car, and when he had nothing to do, he chatted with Feng Nansang.
Feng Nansang nodded, and shook his head again: "I never thought of being a general before, but later I found that there are many, many things I want to protect. ”
He smiled, but didn't continue, because that would be another lengthy story.
Cold wind blows outside the car from time to time, and even the specially thickened and weighted car curtain has traces of being blown off. Fortunately, there are special doors and windows blocking it, so that the people inside will not be frozen.
When the two girls woke up, they were still a short distance from the disaster area, and they stopped for a short rest before entering the city.
The new magistrate received the information and greeted them at the gate of the city, and several people directly changed to walking in order to facilitate the observation of the disaster.
While listening to the introduction of the prefecture, I looked around.
"Selling houses, land, wives and daughters, as long as you can survive, you will do everything you can." Feng Nansang sighed, his eyes full of compassion.
"People's desire to survive is very strong, and often when life is endangered, a person's essence can be completely exposed, and those greed, selfishness, or selflessness and dedication are all part of this world." Feng Nanqi said silently, and everywhere he looked was a mess.
People lost their minds to snatch food, and several slightly larger pieces of food could only be exchanged for a small bag of rice.
"Nowadays, there is a shortage of food, and although the law clearly prohibits buying out food in the disaster area and then raising the price, this situation is really endless, and we can't stop it. The poor people have been squeezed and left their homes, the rich have filled their pockets, and the food in our county government is no longer enough to support half a month's food. ”
