Chapter 264: Earth Movement (2)

Everyone in the house had been sleeping very lightly, and they all woke up in shock. As a precaution, everyone goes to sleep with their clothes on. The two nurses picked up Xuan'er and Fusheng, and the two malt and bellflower stepped forward to help Xun Qingran, and everyone went outside.

Xun Qingran felt that the ground under his feet shook violently twice, and the window edges and door shafts rattled. At this time, Mama Xu was on duty, and when she noticed something abnormal, she immediately struck the gong. The lights of the courts of the Governor's Palace were immediately lit.

Xun Qingran only heard the sound from far and near, which was indescribable, but it was creepy. As soon as the people were out of the door, the earth stopped moving.

"The fourth master is right, this house is really the safest." Mama Xu helped Xun Qing to dye.

Xun Qingran looked at it, the houses in the main courtyard were all intact, and the windows and door frames of the warm pavilion here were not deformed. Fang Cai's ground movement, she clearly felt, was by no means an ordinary microtremor. It's good here, but it's not necessarily the case with other houses. Xun Qingran hurriedly sent people to inspect the hospitals.

"Back to grandma, only in the courtyard, due to disrepair, a wall fell, and there is a house, two mothers-in-law were injured, and the rest are fine." The housekeeper's daughter-in-law came back to report.

Xun Qingran breathed a sigh of relief.

But the news sent by Tang Younian made her feel uneasy.

"The houses in the east city are solid, only a few houses have collapsed, which is not in the way, and the loss of shops in the south city is not large, but the houses in the north city and the narrow alleys in the west city are mostly collapsed and the people are living on the streets."

Xun Qingran hurriedly sent people to various mansions to inquire about the situation, and sent her mother-in-law to Qi Wanrong's house to have a look.

After being reciprocated, it was probably fine, but, "Lord Dong was seriously injured." ”

"Let's go see Master Dong." Xun Qingran ordered people to prepare a carriage, Tang Younian rode a horse, and brought his attendants to escort him to Dong's mansion.

It turned out that Master Dong slept in the study last night because of the review of official documents. The ground movement just shook the study, and Lord Dong was seriously injured. Seeing Tang Younian accompanying Xun Qingran to visit, Lord Dong struggled to sit up, and Xun Qingran saw clearly that Lord Dong was injured in the leg.

Mrs. Dong wiped her tears and asked Xun Qingran to sit down. Xun Qingran inquired about Lord Dong's injury, and asked people to hand over all the medicinal materials and supplements he brought to Mrs. Dong.

"At this critical juncture, I am useless, I really have the emperor's grace and Lord Qi's entrustment." Master Dong thumped his thighs and said.

Mrs. Dong hurriedly rushed over and hugged Lord Dong's arm.

"Adults are still good at giving birth to their bodies. There is Lord Tang in the military camp in the city, and for other things, the Lord is in charge at home, and the Lord has been in Pingxi Town for many years, and he is familiar with local affairs. ”

This is also the main purpose of Xun Qing's dyeing. Sure enough, Lord Dong recommended a few capable officials, and solicited the opinions of Tang Younian, and finally decided to deal with this change together with Tang Younian as the leader, supplemented by officials who were familiar with the place.

Lord Dong and Tang Younian discussed specific matters, and Xun Qingran talked to Mrs. Dong about another matter.

"I was going to go to Layue and then give porridge, but now I want to advance." Xun Qing said.

Mrs. Dong nodded in agreement, she was already very active in these things, but now that Lord Dong was injured, she couldn't spare her hands. Xun Qingran asked Mrs. Dong to take care of Mrs. Dong wholeheartedly, and she would find other ladies to help with the soup kitchen.

Coming out of the Dong Mansion here, Xun Qingran visited a few more along the way. Mrs. Guo's family has a simple population, she is young, and her temperament is also refreshing, Mrs. Sun is also warm-hearted, her mother's family is in business, and she is more familiar with outside things than ordinary women.

Before dawn, Xun Qingran called Steward Li and Chen De in the front yard to take the small servant, and arranged two sturdy mothers-in-law in the kitchen, using the big iron pot used in the barracks, to boil four pots of thick porridge in one go, and asked Imperial Doctor Lu to prescribe medicine, and boiled ginger soup to ward off the cold and fitness, and Tang Younian arranged soldiers to help maintain it, and set up a porridge shed in a vacant lot near the Dongcheng residence, and began to give porridge.

After coming to Pingxi Town for more than a year, Xun Qingran has never had the opportunity to take a good look at Dongcheng and Beicheng, who knows, the first time he really approached these two places, it was under such circumstances. As far as the eye can see, only a few houses stand alone, and most have been razed to the ground.

Watching the people help the old and the young, holding the bowl with the gap to receive the porridge, most of them are still fully clothed, some are only wearing thin clothes, and some are wrapped in flowering quilts. Xun Qingran felt very uncomfortable, and when she heard Tang Younian say that most of the houses were low tuxia wooden houses, so there were few casualties, she felt better.

On the third pole of the day, several pots of porridge and ginger soup were eaten cleanly, and some people were still hungry, so some soldiers led a few people dressed as gentry to come, and they turned out to be rich merchants in the city, and they were also willing to give porridge. Xun Qingran was naturally happy, everyone scattered to give porridge, it is better to be in one place, and it is also convenient to manage.

Mai and Mrs. Sun have an abacus for each person, according to the number of people who come to receive the porridge, they estimate how many meters each person needs per day, and after a crackling calculation, even if a charter comes out, everyone has no objection.

By the time the last person had also received the porridge, it was already past noon.

Xun Qingran returned to the governor's mansion and had some hasty meals, and someone reported that Xuetuan had returned.

Xun Qingran was overjoyed, and the snow ball flew in from the outside, and raised his foot at Xun Qingran, who was helping a small bamboo tube on his foot. Xun Qingran took off the bamboo tube and took out a letter from it. The letter was written by Qi Yu himself, and he roughly described the situation in Beidaying, saying that he was leading the sergeants to maintain order and rescue the people, and asked how the situation was in the city.

Xun Qingran put down the letter and thought to herself, although Qi Yu was understated, she could see that the situation over there was not optimistic, and now it was like this in the city. Xun Qingran invited Tang Younian over, discussed it, and decided to tell Qi You the truth. After Xun Qingran finished writing the letter, he put the envelope into the bamboo tube and greeted the snow group.

Xuan'er and Fusheng were both awake, the two little ones were lying on their stomachs, the other was sitting, and the four little hands were sluggling with snow. Xuetuan was very personable, lying there with half-squinted eyes, letting the two little ones with saliva eat tofu.

Xun Qingran couldn't help laughing, so he tied the bamboo tube to Xuetuan's feet, fed Xuetuan to drink water, and ate two pieces of meat before releasing Xuetuan and letting it go to Qi Yu again.

There were two more slight ground movements in quick succession. Because there was food to eat, and Tang Younian took the soldiers to help save people, and built a temporary shed in a spacious place sheltered from the wind, so that the people could survive temporarily, so although it was a catastrophe, the city was very calm.

The next day, Xun Qingran still took someone to give porridge and medicine. The snow did not return.

On the third day, it was still the same.

The land seems to have calmed down, and the people who had abandoned their houses began to return.

After Tang Younian finished inspecting the city, he rushed to the porridge shed, and saw Xun Qingran wearing an apron like those servants, and was scooping porridge for the old man and children with a big spoon. This is the second day of soup kitchen, the new rules, afraid of the old and weak women and children are not physically strong, so let them line up separately from the young adults, and the soup is also the girls and mothers-in-law in each house.

Tang Younian coughed dryly twice, and stepped forward to salute, "Madam, you better go back, I will send another person here, and you will have to take care of the house." ”

Xun Qingran raised his hand, and Mai handed over a handkerchief from the side, Xun Qingran smiled, took the handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. She had hardly slept in the past two nights, and she was busy with soup soup during the day, and now she was really tired, and besides, she also missed Xuan'er and Fusheng a little. Thinking so, Xun Qingran explained a few words to Chen De and Chen De's family, and got into the carriage and returned to the governor's mansion.

As soon as he walked to the front street of the palace, the carriage suddenly shook violently, and the sound of landslides and cracks was faintly heard in the distance.

When the carriage stopped slightly, Xun Qingran poked his head out of the car.

"Lord Tang, what's wrong?"

Is it moving again? Hearing that the voice was from the north, Xun Qing's heart was pinched, and Qi Yu was in that direction.

Tang Younian had just controlled the somewhat fried horse, and he was also a little worried.

In the distance, a military academy Pegasus came, and when he got closer, he jumped off the horse and reported to Tang Younian.

“…… The collapse of Luojia Mountain outside the northern city has blocked the road and implicated nearby villages, and it is unclear what the situation on the other side of the mountain is. ”

The road to Beidaying was blocked, and it was not clear what was going on there, and it was another great thing involved.

"Lord Tang, it's better not to leak this news for the time being." Xun Qingran reminded him.

The road leading to Beidaying is also the only road leading to the Zhenbei granary in Pingxi Town. The team that went to call for food has not yet returned, and now the road is blocked, and the city can be maintained for the time being by soup kitchen, but if this news leaks out, it is inevitable that people's hearts will fluctuate. In the current situation, the most taboo is people's instability.

Tang Younian understood it at one point, and immediately understood the power of it, so he ordered to block the news.

Back at the Governor's Palace, Xun Qingran went to the study in the front yard to sit first.

"Madame relaxed, and her subordinates immediately sent someone to clear the road. Surely nothing will happen. ”

"Lord Tang is right." Xun Qingran said, at this time, even if she is flustered in her heart, she must not show it on her face, if she panics, then the people below will be even more chaotic.

"Madame, don't leave the house for the time being, I will send more people to guard the safety of the house." Tang Younian said.

Xun Qingran discussed with Tang Younian again before returning to the inner house.

Xuan'er and Fusheng had just slept and fed again, and the two little ones didn't know the suffering of the world, and when they saw Xun Qing dyed back, one waved his little hand, and the other swayed and pounced.

Xun Qingran took Fusheng in his arms and sat down on the kang. Fusheng held the music box for Xun Qing to see, and used a little fat hand to wind it, the little guy really had a little strength, and he could hear the music box emitting a pleasant music, and the Western beauties on the box danced. Xuan'er spit out two bubbles, and Fusheng stuffed the music box into Xuan'er's hand.

Xun Qingran hugged Xuan'er into his arms, hugged Fusheng again, and let him sit on his own, two soft and soft little bodies, the same black big eyes without impurities, Xun Qingran felt that a heart was soft and a little sour. It's been two days since Xuetuan went to find Qi You, but Xuetuan hasn't flown back, is Qi You okay?

Fang Cai's shock, the center of the shock was obviously the direction of Beidaying, Xun Qing was worried, and a wave of emotions rose in her heart that she herself was a little unclear. What was this emotion, she asked herself, and the answer was obvious, but unexpected. If not, how can we be so at odds with each other?

I won't be lovesick in my life, I will be lovesick, I will be lovesick, my body is like a floating cloud, and my heart is like a flying flotsam. Breath like a gossamer. A wisp of fragrance is here, looking forward to the daughter of the wanderer. When the sign comes, it's exactly when. When the light is half dim, when the moon is half bright. When the light was half dim, "Xun Qingran finished writing a word, stopped writing, and silently recited this sentence, and the light really turned on."

"Grandma, it's time to eat. Grandma has been in the past half a day, but the water and rice have not entered. The bellflower picked up the wick and said to Xun Qing.

Xun Qingran came back to his senses, only to realize that it was already the time to hold the lamp. But there are only lamps, not moons.

Xun Qingran ordered the meal to be served, and at this time, Steward Li, Chen De, and Chen De's family, who were cooking porridge outside, also came back, Xun Qingran was worried about the situation outside, and called a few people in to come in for questioning.

"Many people on the street said that Luojia Mountain had collapsed, and that the granary outside the city had been destroyed." Steward Li said, "Lord Tang caught a few people before he stopped. ”

It turned out that the news was still leaked. Also, such a big movement can't be hidden after all.

The road in the north of the city was cut off, and the people were constantly moving in the city, and the people were panicked, so it was a little unpeaceful.

Tang Younian came over and replied, saying that he planned to lead the soldiers, and hired young people in the city, planning to dredge the road to the north overnight.

"The subordinates left a team of soldiers for the lady to guard the house. There is another team of soldiers in the mansion, and Mrs. Feng can also be summoned if she has something. ”

After dinner, Xun Qingran leaned on the pillow, closed her eyes slightly, and worked for several days and nights in a row, she was very tired, but she didn't feel sleepy. I was thinking about what else I hadn't thought through.

Tang Younian only led a battalion of men and horses, plus the officials in the city, to clear the roads, be responsible for the security of the city, and settle the people, which was a little stretched. The road to the north is cut off, the villages near Luojia Mountain have suffered heavy casualties, and the streets in the city are a little uneven, and the situation on Qi You and Qi You is unknown.

A series of slight tremors seemed to indicate that there was even greater ground movement to come.

Xun Qingran opened his eyes.

"Clean up all the wings and go to Doctor Lu." Xun Qingran commanded. In the Doge's Palace, the house in the main courtyard is the strongest, and it is convenient for everyone to take care of it together.

"Invite Miss Xin to come and settle down." Xun Qingran turned his head and specially instructed the bellflower.

After a while, Imperial Physician Lu came over with his little grandson.

Xin Nu Hao, but she delayed for a while.

"Miss Xin doesn't want to come, and it doesn't hurt to say it." Kikyo whispered to Xun Qing, "But I couldn't help her, and the maid "invited" her." ”

Sure enough, Xin Nu's face was a little unsightly.

"What do you mean, ma'am?" The Xin woman swept the two mothers-in-law who sandwiched her in the middle.

"This yard house is the strongest, please ask a good woman to come and take care of it. A good woman is a guest, and it is my duty to take care of you. If there is any inconvenience, please bear with the good girl. Xun Qingran said politely, and let Jin Ling and the two sturdy mothers-in-law take care of Xin's wife.

"Yinling is clever, go and help Mama Xu do something." Xun Qing said.

Mama Xu smiled and grabbed Yinling's hand and took it out.

Xin Nuhao's face changed, and she couldn't help but look up at Xun Qingran again. Xun Qingran's face was tired, and her attitude was still generous and polite, but the majesty faintly revealed in her tone made people dare not disobey.

"Take the good woman down and rest." Xun Qingran commanded, and then picked up Xuan'er, not looking at Xin's wife.

The two mothers-in-law "helped" the Xin woman to retreat.

Xuan'er should also sleep at this time, but today somehow, she just refused to sleep, and cried for a while, it seems that her emotions also affected Fusheng, and Fusheng also cried with his throat.

Xun Qingran gently wiped Xuan'er's immature little face with a handkerchief, and gently stroked Xuan'er, and Xuan'er slowly quieted down.

Looking at the two children lying side by side on the kang and finally falling asleep, Xun Qingran thought of another thing.

"There's an important thing for you to do." Xun Qingran called Chen De and Chen De's family to come in.

"Grandma's orders."

"You take a few people and go to the Dizang Nunnery to see how Master Jingyi is doing, and," Xun Qingran paused, "bring Mama Song back." ”

Xun Qingran has always been generous, but Mama Song, the oldest person, was first beaten by the board and was taken away from the errand, and then after Xun Qingran became pregnant, she was sent to the temple, and Xuan'er was not called back after she was born.

At this time, what is it for bringing Mama Song back?

"It's not peaceful outside, you bring a few soldiers over. Maybe something has changed, Mama Song, you must bring it back, you have to see people,......" Xun Qingran glanced at Chen De's family, and did not say the next half of the sentence.

The two of them understood, hurriedly agreed, and retreated.

Bring everything you can take care of under your wings, and bring all the unstable factors together. Xun Qingran closed her eyes slightly, if there was anything in case, then she couldn't care about much.

This night was extraordinarily peaceful.

When the morning star appeared on the eastern horizon, Pingxi Town ushered in another violent tremor, and Xun Qingran only felt that a loud bang was close at hand.

"Grandma, the wall to the west is collapsing." A mother-in-law came to report.

"Hurry up to the front and ask Steward Zhao to bring someone over to guard and repair." Xun Qingran commanded.

The woman withdrew for a while, and a little girl ran in in a panic.

"Grandma, grandma, it's not good." The little girl gasped and held on to the door frame, "Yes, there are rioters rushing in from the gap in the west." ”

After the little girl finished speaking, she fell to the ground.

Xun Qingran stood up and suddenly saw the dazzling red in the back of the little girl's heart.

Two chapters and one chapter, asking for pink, recommendations, and all kinds of tickets.
