A lot to do.

Because of the presence of the head of the household department, the head of the soldiers learned a lesson this time, and no longer left those who were ineffective, but replaced another group of more cautious veterans to guard Beixian.

In the aftermath of the floods, the mud and garbage on the streets, as well as the washed down houses and trees, have been swept away from the streets of Beixian County after the floods. The survivors who have returned to their homes have already cleaned their homes of wooden utensils that had been soaked in the flood, and then lit herbs and incense to repel mosquitoes.

Houses have been washed away, and people who have been temporarily homeless are still waiting in their greenhouses for the next step.

The veterans obviously have a lot of experience in post-disaster epidemic prevention. Every day, they boiled medicinal tea with clean water brought from other places, told everyone to come regularly every day to receive and drink, and reminded the people not to drink water from any wells or rivers, lakes and streams.

"I didn't expect these people to have such a strong awareness of epidemic prevention." Chi Jing was surprised, all this in order was far beyond her expectations.

"The plague has always been a punishment for the emperor's inhumanity and from heaven." Why did he pull Ming'er over, and just heard Chi Jing's words, so he solved her doubts.

"I see." If there is a plague in Dongli, as the Son of Heaven, the emperor will issue an edict against himself. Therefore, the people can die of drought, flood, and hunger, but they must not die of plague.

"The most troublesome thing now is the water problem." Why bother rubbing his thumb worriedly, Ming'er's somewhat peeling lips.

All the water sources in North County can no longer be drunk for a short time. After the water receded, the rivers, lakes and streams were still filthy, and many livestock carcasses were fished out of the wells of some people's homes, and the well water was also smelly and seriously polluted.

"Hmm." Chi Jing agrees with his statement, "In addition to the water source, it is the food problem. ”

Now, except for the hundreds of buckets of water brought by the officers and soldiers from neighboring counties, so that each person can drink half a bowl of medicinal tea every day, the people do not even have clean water to wash their hands, let alone bathe. As a result of this disaster, all the crops in the field were destroyed. The grain that was originally stored at home was either washed away without a trace, or blistered to mold and smell, and had to be discarded.

Many people hid the silver in their homes without being washed away by the flood, and they were ecstatic to take it out and go to a neighboring county to buy rice and grain, but they were told that neither Zhou County nor Yuan County would let it go. In other words, when they were not sure whether the people of Beixian were infected with the plague, the people of Beixian could not go anywhere, and only the officers and soldiers who could enter and exit freely were the officers and soldiers for disaster relief.

If you want to know if the plague will break out, it won't take two or three days to determine it... They're really hungry!

In addition to the two bowls of porridge that are so rare every day that they can't catch a few grains of rice, they haven't even seen other bedding or fine noodles.

...

"Official, is there anything else?" A septuagenarian man pitifully held the empty bowl, drank a bowl in two or three sips, and his stomach began to ring again.

"Yes, yes." The officers and soldiers who distributed the porridge glanced at him from the bottom up, and said with some ridicule: "The upper rule is one bowl per person, and if you still want it, you can buy it with silver." ”

"Official, I, I don't have any silver..." The uncle's face was hot, and his silver was snatched away by his family's unscrupulous sons.

"No, no, we are also acting on orders, and there is a penalty for not following the rules. Take a walk. The officers and soldiers gave him a blank look, and waved him out of the way. I know that he is a poor ghost, and he wants to drink an extra bowl of porridge without silver?

Where in the world did you get to eat lunch for nothing, how can this uncle be naïve when he is old.

"Alas..."The septuagenarian uncle had a bitter face, and finally glanced into the porridge bucket again, and turned around helplessly. However, after only a few steps, he heard a familiar voice coming from behind him.

"Brother Guan, do you have steamed buns here?" A grinning man who looked to be about forty years old said.

"Yes, yes, but." The officer made a gesture of "do you have any silver?"

"Of course there is, of course there is, hehe." The grinning man took out a tael of silver from his pocket.

"Little brother, that's the price in the morning, it's not the price now." The officer and soldier said, while poking his head into the man's pocket, good fellow, stuffed with bulging.

"Huh? Price increase? The grinning man froze, and quickly began to laugh again. Brother Guan, what is the price now? ”

"The price." The officers and men stretched out two fingers and compared.

Two two? Two taels of silver and a steamed bun? But in the morning, it's still a tael of silver! The smile on the man's face froze, but he felt so distressed when he thought that as long as he survived the next few days, the neighboring counties would be open to traffic. "Okay, Brother Guan, bring me two steamed buns."

took the two steamed buns and walked back, and the smile on the man's face instantly dissipated and was replaced by dark clouds. He stared at the steamed bun in his hand with gloomy eyes, and took a big bite, and a third of the steamed bun was gone.

These dogs kill a thousand knives, bully others, and sooner or later one day he will... Suddenly, the steamed bun in his hand was snatched away.

"Who! Damn, your guts are fat..."The man raised his head and scolded, and after scolding a few words, he saw who it was, and after seeing it clearly, he frowned, and stepped forward and pushed away the septuagenarian uncle.

The septuagenarian uncle was pushed to the ground by him, but he didn't even raise his head, he was just busy sending the steamed buns in his hand into his mouth, chewing and swallowing in a panic.

"Phew! Old and immortal! Seeing that the uncle ate the remaining steamed buns in two or three bites, he scolded hatefully. The old thing, a lot older, is still so fast to grab things. Angry, he raised his foot and kicked it at the uncle.

Uncle Septuagenarian just finished eating most of the steamed buns in his hand - saying that he said most of them, but in fact, this kind of steamed buns are mixed with too much fermentation, and the flour is too little, even if it is fluffy and soft, it looks quite big, but it is gone in three or two bites.

There was still half a mouthful of steamed bread stuck in his throat, and he saw a big foot kick towards his chest, he couldn't react, and his chest hurt for a while, and the half of the steamed bread coughed out.

coughed hard for a while, opened his eyes and saw the half-swallowed steamed bun dregs in front of him, and hurriedly reached out and picked it up and put it in his mouth.

It's disgusting! Seeing this, the man felt a pang of disgust in his heart. Forget it, when you feed the dogs! Ri, he only took a bite of such an expensive steamed bun, and now there is only one steamed bun left!

Just as he was about to turn and walk away, a withered hand grabbed his foot.

"Son, cough cough, dad is so hungry..."The septuagenarian uncle hugged his own son's feet, he was so hungry, he still wanted to eat steamed buns...

"Go away, old thing!" The man kicked him away, don't talk about Dad, it's his own son, and don't try to snatch a bite of food from him!

"Son, give me back the money—" The withered hand came up again. And when his wife gave birth to a son for him, he died in childbirth, and he loved his son very much since he was a child.

How do you know that the loving father is a defeated son, and the son has become lawless since he was a child, and when he grows up, he has become a famous hooligan in Beixian County, and no one is willing to marry when he is not confused. He saved money and used half of the money he had survived, and he wanted to leave it to him to marry a daughter-in-law, but he couldn't marry him and buy one...

"Old and immortal! You're a lot older, and you're still thinking about what to eat all day long! Waste of food! The flood has killed so many people, why don't you die! Didn't you say that the money was reserved for my daughter-in-law? If I starve to death, where will you get your daughter-in-law and grandson? ”

The price of steamed buns of dog officers and soldiers increased at will, and the man's heart was blazing with anger. He lifted his other foot and stomped it hard.

"Ahh The uncle screamed in pain and had to let go of his hand.

"Toast and don't eat and drink!" The man snorted again and walked away.

What the world is wow... The uncle shed tears of despair.
