Chapter 193: Congratulations on the mutation
Shu Qingai took advantage of the gap in the middle to climb a small dirt slope four or five meters high, accompanied by tranquility.
She was dressed in a new floral fine cotton jacket, her hair was still tied in a woman's bun, and her white little face was standing on the river dam and was illuminated by the early spring sunshine, which was also a little brighter.
It's just that she has a little immature face, and her expression is unusually serious and calm at this time.
When everyone saw her from above, they felt as if they had seen a savior!
Like this year's drought, the original harvest of the Zhuang family was pitiful, and after paying taxes, there was almost nothing left, if it weren't for Shu Qingai's relief food, these people would have starved to death more than half! Even if they hadn't starved to death, I'm afraid they would have fled to another country.
For the appearance of Shu Qingai, most people still have a lot of comfort in their hearts.
The people of dozens of villages here are here again, and the village chiefs of which villages are standing in front of the crowd one after another, and at this moment, they also pinned all their hopes on Shu Qingai, hoping that in this most desperate time, Shu Qingai can save them for a while!
In the mountains and forests, there is a barren land everywhere, except for dead branches and rotten leaves, and some annual green pines and cypresses, it is difficult to see a little greenery.
People's hearts are like this barren land, almost desperate!
The village chief of Xinghua Village also learned about the incident, and he was being supported by Dongzi, and walked out of Shu Qingai's courtyard with a cane.
Because of Li Lili's matter, he hasn't seen his family for a long time, and even his son in the county town didn't come back to visit him for the New Year, even if he asked someone to send a letter to the county seat and told him everything that happened at home, but the letter was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news.
Knowing that even the mountain spring water in the mountains has dried up, even if the village chief doesn't go to the village to look around, he also knows how damn the situation of Xinghua Village at this time, and the old well in the village is also dry at this time, but fortunately, there are still those ice cubes given by Shu Qingai in the cellars of every household.
It's just that it's spring, and if it doesn't rain, the ice in the cellar will slowly melt even if it doesn't run out.
However, will you be able to hold out until the day of the rain? The village chief looked at the group of people on the river dam, and his heart was also up. At this time, he could only pin all his hopes on Shu Qingai.
Shu Qing loves to see everyone, his eyes are focused on himself, and he has never felt such a heavy burden in his heart!
And that's just a small fraction of the victims in the southwest, and it's negligible. But these are all living lives, and she pinned her hopes on the opening of the river, and there was really no way to do it.
Even the grain in the cellar was not much left, only about a thousand catties of grain, if these people didn't even have food rations, what would she do!
"Everyone must know about the depletion of the mountain spring today, everyone believes me, it's not a problem!"
Shu Qingai shouted at the people on the dam, her voice trembling, but unusually firm!
"Huh, believe you? Why believe you! You're the oldest! Isn't it possible for you to make it rain from God? ”
Shu Qingai didn't expect that as soon as her voice fell, a woman standing in the front section yelled at her in retort! Her words played a big role, at least the people around her began to talk about it, and there was no more silence before!
When Shu Qingai heard this, she turned out to be her old acquaintance, the Zhang family of Laoshu Village, who was the woman she choked on the day she returned to the door! Almost all of her moves were from Laoshu Village, Shu Qingai searched in the crowd, but strangely, she didn't find the group of people from her mother's family.
"That's right, you Shu Qingai have watched everyone grow up since childhood, stupid and stupid, no one in the village knows that you are a stupid girl! This name is famous, why are you so big-faced! There are thousands of people, why do you make everyone believe in you! ”
Widow Ge also stood up at this time, and grabbed Shu Qingai for a while, and Shu Qingai's brows wrinkled even more!
However, she really hasn't taken this group of people seriously, they are nothing more than red-eyed people, Shu Qing understands it very well in her love. After all, she has lived like a beggar since she was a child, and suddenly one day she is more comfortable than all of them, and the person who has mocked her will feel better?
"Those who don't believe in me, now you can pack up your things and flee, as long as you walk more than 300 miles upstream, there is a red river over there, where there is water."
Shu Qingai's eyes were looking at the villagers of Laoshu Village at this time, and her words were also true, she didn't want to explain to them!
When everyone present heard the news, they couldn't help but start to move.
The people here are all simple people, and they rarely leave their hometowns, so for the Hongjiang River more than 300 miles upstream that Shu Qingai said, everyone said that they were not impressed.
But when they think of walking more than 300 miles, even if they walk 60 or 70 miles every day, it will take them five or six days to reach it. What's more, these people dragged their families with their families, where could they go so far in one day.
Shu Qing loved to see that the people in Laoshu Village were thinking about their words, and they didn't jump out to make trouble, so they continued.
"I can understand the mood of the big guy, after all, I'm the same as everyone else, and I need to drink water in the flesh! If there is no water, I can't live the same. But fortunately, more than two months ago, the emperor has already sent someone down to solve this difficulty, everyone just need to wait, I have news, it won't take long for our river to have water, which is drawn from the side of the Red River! Now there are our villagers in the upper reaches, they are digging canals day and night, they are all fleeing like us, the emperor gathered them together, as long as the Wujiang River and the Hongjiang River are dug and want to be separated by more than 100 miles, we will soon have water here. ”
Shu Qingai never said this matter, and she thought it was unnecessary before. I thought that during the Chinese New Year, the water should be passed, but who knew that it was delayed for more than half a month.
As soon as Shu Qingai's words came out, it was undoubtedly a qualitative pill for all the victims present!
They nested in this mountain, always thinking that the emperor had not taken care of them at all, but when they heard Shu Qing's words, everyone suddenly saw a little light in the darkness, and gradually rekindled hope!
"Shu Niangzi, what you said is true! Why haven't we heard of it at all? ”
An old man with a gray beard, wrapped in a patched worn cotton jacket. Shu Qingai knows him, this old man is the village chief of Xianghegou, and when he brought the villagers here, he also visited Shu Qingai in person.
Shu Qingai has a lot of respect for this old village chief, knowing that he is old, he is still unwilling to unload the burden on his body, he just wants to take more than 100 people in the village to find a way out.
"What my sister said is the truth, because that river was proposed by my girl to the magistrate."
Shu Qingai didn't have time to answer, but who knew that the congratulations standing in the crowd were the first to say! And this kid still said it with his heart, and this word can reach everyone's ears!
Shu Qingai gave a blank look! I feel a little hot and embarrassed on my face! It seems that there have been a lot of congratulations recently!
Isn't this a clear gold paste on your face? Fortunately, this kid is still measured, and he didn't say that he and Hua Jinhan had a lot of money about it! If that's the case, Shu Qingai is really afraid of being remembered by someone with a heart.
"Shu Niangzi is a good person! It's like a reincarnation of a living bodhisattva......"
Shu Qingai threw a knife at Gong Xi, but Gong Xi caught it without changing his face.
Being praised by so many people in person, Shu Qingai is absolutely uncomfortable! The things she did didn't mean that so many people would be grateful to her, even if she was grateful, wouldn't she be relieved? Thousands of people shouted at each other that they were living bodhisattvas, and they all felt strange and embarrassed.
"Thank you, that's all I want to say today, everyone uses water reasonably, we are persistent, and we will definitely wait for the day when the willows will shine!"
The turmoil on the river dam finally subsided, Shu Qingai returned to the courtyard, and immediately ordered Qingyu to prepare the carriage and dry food, she planned to go upstream to see it herself!
"Girl, why don't you go, there may be a lot of victims on the way. What if there is a gang robbery? ”
Qingyou and congratulations will work hard, but she knows that when she leaves, there must be someone left at home to take care of the house, so whether she accompanies Shu Qingai or congratulates Shu Qingai, it is not safe. Even if they could do it, the desperate refugees would fight to the death.
Shu Qingai knows that she cares about it, but let her just wait, she can't do it! No matter what, how can she know why she threw out more than one million taels of silver?
"Let's disguise ourselves and go on the road with the refugees."
Shu Qingai thought about it, but decided to go.
"Girl, even if you are after Qiao Zhuang, you can't walk, if you walk this way, I don't know when you will be able to arrive."
Gong Xi Yanran also disagreed, and put forward her own opinions.
Shu Qingai suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness! Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he looked at him.
"You go, don't you know how to do light work? Go and show me the situation! Give Hua Jinhan another word and tell him that the water is also cut off here, and so many victims still expect him to spend three less. ”
Congratulations looked at the tranquility on the side, and the reluctance in his eyes was very obvious, but he still took the order decisively, directly brought some water and dry food, and went out.
"Qingyou, did this congratulations confess to you?"
Congratulations before leaving, looking at the quiet eyes and the red LL, it is not difficult for Shu Qingai not to doubt!
She just said, how do you want to change a person in the recent congratulations, there is always a deliberate or unintentional move to Qingyu's side, and there is nothing to say, completely changed the style.
Qingyou frowned and looked at her girl, "Girl, what are you talking nonsense?" ”
