Chapter 119: The Begging Hungry

Lu Yu went into the bedroom to take a look, asked Lu Ming a few more words how he felt, and then went out with Zhang Qiye and his wife. Lu Ming and Ah Li are both the aftermath of the catastrophe, and the little couple must have a lot to say.

Later, Mrs. Zhang went to cook dinner and wanted to leave Lu Yu to eat at home. Lu Yu didn't refuse, but he went back to Yangshan Village before eating.

They asked Lu Yu what was going on in the town.

"The group of people from outside made a mess, and Lu Ming was a little injured."

"The group from the north?" Yan Jibai may be a little worried, worried about this group of outsiders in the village.

Lu Yu nodded: "Yes, but it's okay now, everyone don't have to worry." He now feels that the rest of the village is justified in their fears about the displaced people.

Lu Yu didn't say what happened to Huang Li's gang, the process and scene were too bloody, and he didn't want to think about it.

After saying a few words, Lu Yu went to the town with the pork prepared during the day, after Lu Ming's serious injury, he needed to eat something good, which would allow him to recover faster.

When he went, he went back, Lu Yu did not eat at Zhang's house, and said that he would come back the next day to have a look.

Lu Yu went home for dinner, and just after eating, Qi Xiang came over.

Lu Yu knew in his heart that Qi Xiang and Huang Li were not the same, but thinking that they were all from the same place, he hated the house and Wu, and he couldn't help but have a little complaint about Qi Xiang in his heart.

Qi Xiang did feel very embarrassed, and he asked Lu Yu curtly, how is his brother's family.

Lu Yu said lightly: "My younger brothers and sisters were injured, and some of the food at home was also robbed. ”

"That's, I'm really sorry for ......."

"Hey, it has nothing to do with you."

Qi Xiang sighed and said, "What, we are different from Huang Li, don't worry." ”

To be honest, it was difficult for Lu Yu to be completely at ease with Qi Xiang and them now, he felt that if the village didn't have its own existence, this group of displaced people who escaped from the north might not always be able to be safe.

After a while, he said, "I heard that in several nearby villages, there are fights and conflicts between outsiders and locals. ”

"yes, I've heard of that too." Qi Xiang scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Hehe, we definitely won't, we are all good people." ”

Lu Yu smiled and said, "I know you won't, and I didn't say anything." ”

Qi Xiang was indeed worried that Lu Yu was going to drive their group of outsiders out of the village. Yangshan Village is a good place, there are mountains, rivers and fields, and there is a "great god" sitting in the town, and no force dares to invade here. This group of northerners settled down for a few days, and they didn't want to continue to run around and look for a living.

Lu Yu didn't say anything cruel, nor did he give any guarantees, as long as Qi Xiang and them didn't make trouble, Lu Yu would definitely not do anything to them.

The next day, Lu Yu went to the town again, and Lu Ming's body recovered a lot, and he was already able to walk on the ground.

Thinking of what happened yesterday, Lu Ming and his family still had palpitations, and Lu Yu asked them if they wanted to move to the village to live.

Mrs. Zhang and Ah Li seemed to want to go back, but Zhang Qiye and Lu Ming thought that now that almost all the homeless people in the town had been killed, there should be no more danger in the town, and they still wanted to continue to live in the town. Moreover, Lu Ming felt that there might not be any empty houses in the village now, so he couldn't build a new house in order to go back and live for a few days.

In fact, Lu Yu really had the idea of building a house, but Zhang Qiye and Lu Ming were reluctant to go back, and they were not reluctant. Lu Yu was still worried, thinking that if the official yamen reopened, the town would be much safer.

Lu Yu was puzzled, is the imperial court gone? Of course, he will not have any good feelings about the court and the government, but he also knows that there really cannot be no court and government in this world.

When it was almost time to dig sweet potatoes, some people came to Yangshan Village. This time, they were not refugees from other places, but residents of nearby towns.

Most of them were old people and children, all of them yellow and thin, and they faltered, and when they entered the village, they held bowls and begged from house to house.

The townspeople have no farmland, and although it seems that there is no disaster now, it is still difficult to buy food. They finished their food and finally began to beg in the countryside.

Among the people who came to beg for food, many of them lived in Dunlin Town, and Lu Yu even knew a few of them.

Yangshan Village greeted twenty or thirty people who asked for food, perhaps because these hungry people looked pitiful, or perhaps because they knew each other before, most of the villagers were very generous and gave a lot of food.

An old woman in her seventies brought a pair of lovely grandchildren to Lu Yu's house to ask for food. The old woman was very old, and she didn't walk very steadily, tremblingly leading two six or seven-year-old children, screaming hungry at the door of Lu Yu's house.

The three ancestors and grandchildren looked really pitiful, the old man was already shriveled, his eyes were cloudy, and he begged Lu Yu to give them some food to save their ancestors and grandchildren. The two children were very cute, but now they were hungry and starless, and they hid timidly behind the old woman.

In fact, the three ancestors and grandsons didn't have to beg at all, Yan Xi'an brought a large pot of uneaten rice, and Yan Xiding carried a small bag of grain on his back and delivered it to the door. All three of them were hungry, so they took the rice, and the old man let the grandchildren eat first. The two little ones hesitated for a moment, then they held the rice in their hands and devoured it.

Seeing this scene, Yan Xi'an's sad tears flowed, she told the two children to eat more slowly, and asked Yan Xiding to go and bring water and chopsticks. At this time, it was not a meal, and Lu Yu's family had no soup or vegetables.

The old woman couldn't stop thanking Yan Xi'an and her brothers, and then watched her grandchildren eat with a smile and a kind face. Yan Xi'an asked her, "Old woman, aren't you hungry?" How do you skip meals? ”

The old man, of course, was hungry too, and she waited until her grandchildren had eaten enough before eating a little, and then put the rest of the rice into the cloth bag she had brought with her.

The old man carried a small bag of grain sent by Yan Xiding, and led his grandchildren to the next house.

Yan Xi'an was sad for a long time, and then began to welcome the next group of hungry people......

In the evening, Lu Yu found that today was a day, and he actually sent out more than 300 catties of grain. It's not that he can't bear to give up this food, but he just thinks that if someone comes to ask for food every day, then no matter how much food he has, he can't afford it.

At dinner, Lu Yu said, "I'm afraid that there will be hungry people coming to ask for food tomorrow." ”

"yes, they're all so pitiful, they don't have anything to eat." Yan Xi'an has seen a lot of poor hungry people today, and his mood is still very heavy.

Yan Jibai said: "There are a lot of people who don't have food to eat now, and we can't give alms." If someone comes to ask for food tomorrow, you two don't have to give too much. This is also what Lu Yu meant.

"I understand." Yan Xi'an is not stupid, but kind-hearted. She put down the dishes and chopsticks, supported her chin with both hands, and said, "What should I do, they don't have food to eat, will they starve to death?" ”

Since two years ago, people have been starving to death, which is nothing new. It's just that some people starve to death, and watching people starve to death is still a little different.

"Now that the weather is not so hot and not very cold, they can come out to ask for food, and they will not starve to death, but it is difficult to eat as much as they want." After a pause, he said, "Look at the three ancestors and grandsons who came first today, they are indeed very pitiful, but I believe that they still have food in stock, and they will not lack food for the time being." ”

"Dad, why do you say that? Those two kids are so thin. ”

"You think, if they really don't have anything to eat, can they still walk here and ask for food? People who are extremely hungry have no strength to walk, and it is difficult to even stand up. Yan Jibai sighed and said, "I also know that they are already short of food, and maybe if they don't need food, they won't be able to survive the winter." ”

Yan Xi'an was very sad, and even wanted to cry, so sad that he couldn't even eat. Lu Yu didn't know how to persuade him, being kind and compassionate, it was not a mistake.

There were even more people begging for food in Yangshan Village, and it was only then that the villagers realized that being too compassionate and generous was not a good thing.

The hungry people who came to beg yesterday were all full of people, but this did not prevent them from continuing to come to Yangshan Village today to ask for food, and even brought their other companions with them.

Today, the villagers of Yangshan Village are not as generous as they were yesterday, and it is difficult for them to be kind to the hungry people who come to beg.

Lu Yu and the Yan family have good tempers, although they know that they can't be as reckless and generous as yesterday, Yan Xi'an still doesn't stop giving alms once, and almost responds to the hungry people who come to ask for food.

Fortunately, Yan Jibai and his wife have been reminding them all the time, so today they only gave out more than 100 catties of food "only". Lu Yu was already a little numb to these hungry people who came to beg, most of them were indeed pitiful, hungry and full, with no food and clothing. But Lu Yu felt that he didn't have a lot of food to help them, and he had distributed hundreds of catties of food in the past two days, and he had done his best.

Every day, many hungry people came to the village to ask for food, and many unfamiliar faces came and became familiar faces. The villagers were a little numb, and when they saw that the hungry people were about to arrive at the door, they hurriedly closed the door, and no matter how they knocked on the door, they would not open the door.

Only Lu Yu's family, Yan Xi'an is really kind, even if some hungry people come every day, she still can't help but take out food from home and give alms, so in the afternoon, a large number of hungry people gathered at the door of Lu Yu's house, waiting for the beautiful and kind girl of this family to take out food and distribute it to everyone.

Lu Yu felt that this was not good, but he definitely couldn't say anything about Yan Xi'an. In the end, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I persuaded my daughter a few words, asking her not to beg again.

The truth is clear to Xi'an, but she is kind by nature, and it is really difficult to refuse those hungry people to come to beg. Yan Xi'an said to Lu Yu that tomorrow she would go to Anding Valley to herd sheep, so that she could be out of sight.
