Yan and Qi Suniang walked on Gaoyou Street, the streets were full of disaster-stricken porridge factories, and two meals of gruel in the morning and evening barely saved the victims of the four townships who fled into Gaoyou City alive.

"I don't know what's going on at home...... Qi Su Niang has palpitations, if she arrives in Gaoyou, she will go back to her hometown in the countryside directly, I'm afraid I won't be able to avoid this sudden flood. The Gaojiayan, which was originally impregnable, suddenly burst, the water of the Yellow River poured into Cao, more than 20 embankments along the coast collapsed, and most of the people in more than 30 prefectures and counties were swallowed up by the flood in their sleep, and the number of people who lost their lives in this disaster was more than double that of seven years ago.

Chen Yan sighed, "Fortunately, when Hong Feng arrived in Gaoyou, it was already early in the morning, so I thought I should be able to escape a lot." Slowly paused his steps, and stood along the street full of childish and weak girls with straw sticks on their heads, thin women, and even the ragged woman knelt on the ground, hugged the hungry and dying child, and cried: "Uncle, it's good, buy this child, let him save this life......"

Qi Su Niang turned her head, she couldn't bear to look at it anymore, Chen Yan grabbed Qi Su Niang's hand tightly, raised her hand to cover her eyes, "Go home, Su Niang." ”

Qi Su Niang returned to the house, and began to collect the clothes, Bi'er silently laid a hand on the side, but it was just a few clothes for her and Chen Yan, "I'm afraid that the house in the countryside has been washed, even if the city gate opens, there is no place to live when I go back." Bill, you're staying at home. After a pause, he took fifty taels of silver from the money bag and gave it to her, "Look at the one who sells his body outside, buy two and come back." Finally, he can live two lives. ”

Bi'er took the money, "I'm afraid I won't need so much, in the past, there were twenty-three or four girls on the stove, but now ...... Looking among the victims, you can buy a girl who can cook and do laundry. ”

Qi Su Niang sighed, "I also bought my master's little girl, and the rest of the money, you really can't survive, so I will give it to them." ”

Bi'er hesitated: "Grandma has already donated 1,000 taels of silver to the porridge factory." In addition, the house and land at home must be washed away, and if the grandfather and grandmother return to the countryside, they will inevitably have to plan for their relatives and neighbors. ”

Qi Su Niang patted the back of Bi'er's hand, "It's not a few dozen taels, my brother gave me more than a dowry."

Ye is not a nerd who can read death in the light, and the river map that is ordered at this time has been ordered for fifty taels of money. You won't starve me, don't worry. ”

Bill smiled lightly. nodded. Put away the money. A few days passed. The water receded thirty miles. The gates of Gaoyou City finally opened. Chen Yandi heard the news. Early in the morning, the mule cart was driven. took Qi Su Niang and rushed to her hometown in the countryside.

The mule cart was stuffed with bags of rice and noodles. Qi Su Niang sat beside Chen Yan. Gradually, I saw that the water receded, leaving behind a dark land. My heart is cold and desolate. I saw that I got Chenjia Village. It turned out that hundreds of households in the village were washed to the ground. Even the corners of the stone walls under the roof were scattered by the floodwaters. Only the Kannon-nunnery on the hillside barely stands under the sun.

Chen Yandi's mule cart drove down the hill. Scattered in the Guanyin Nunnery, hundreds of villagers outside the nunnery gradually became agitated. "It's the actor, it's the actor, and Su Niang are back soon. Go and tell the patriarchs to go and ask Mr. Zhou."

Chen Yan saw that although the villagers in the surviving area were all yellow-faced and thin, they were not clothed. But there are hundreds of them. I was overjoyed. Urging the horse again and again. Sail straight to the front of Kannon-an. Qi Su Niang saw that the four patriarchs surnamed Qi, Song, and Wang all came out. But I didn't see the old man of the Chen family. My heart sank. There are no less than 1,000 people in four surnames and five villages. Now there are only four or five hundred people on this hillside......

Song's second father was in tears. I don't wait for Chen Yan to see the ceremony. Grab him by the ground. "Acting as an official. Let's do a few. That's all there is left......"

Qi Gui, the patriarch of the Qi family, looked at Qi Su Niang. Holding back tears. "Su Niang. In addition to more than a hundred light people in our Qi Village. There's nothing left......"

Qi Su Niang held back her tears and was speechless. Wang Dawhip sighed, turned around and invited a short-bearded scribe in a gray kudzu shirt, and said to Chen Yan: "Actor, this is Mr. Zhou Xiangtian, Zhou Zhu in the village school, this time it is thanks to Mr. Zhou who scattered the rice and noodles hoarded at home to everyone, so that we can live until now." ”

Chen Yan heard that this person was so righteous and had foresight, so he was very impressed, and hurriedly went up to salute. Everyone embraced Chen and Zhou and entered the nunnery together.

Qi Su Niang glanced at Wang Song's family, quietly pulled Wang Da Whip, and asked him to send someone to carry the rice noodles in the mule cart, Wang Da Whip was happy in his heart, "Su Niang, thanks to you for coming in time, the city gate is not open, there is nowhere to buy grain, Mr. Zhou is about to eat up the rice noodles in the Guanyin Nunnery, and I am so worried." As he spoke, he took out a small bag from his arms and handed it to Qi Su Niang, "This is the rent I collected for you, but fortunately, I have already changed it to a ticket and have been collecting it closely." I didn't have time to get anything when the water came, and if I lost it, I really wouldn't have the face to see you. ”

Qi Su Niang didn't expect to get the rental money, but when she opened it, she saw that one thousand three hundred and eighty-five taels, a lot of points, and she was moved in her heart, "Uncle Wang, don't worry, Brother Chen will never stand idly by and watch the restructuring of our four villages." He took two hundred taels of silver and gave him two hundred taels of silver, "The gate of the city has just been opened today."

From the original one stone and one tael to one stone and fifteen taels, the government ordered to calm the month, let's go buy some more, we can't make everyone hungry. ”

Wang Dawhip hurriedly took it, called Wang Tianwang, told him to be careful on the road, and asked him to lead fifty young men to the city to buy grain. When the villagers carried rice and noodles from the mule cart, their faces were already full of joy, and when they saw that Wang Tianwang and others were going to the city to buy grain, they were even more joyful, knowing that they could finally save their lives in the catastrophe, and they all cried with joy, and then thought of their relatives who died in the flood, and there was a miserable cry outside the nunnery.

Qi Su Niang and Wang Dawhip entered the Guanyin Nunnery together. Chen Yanzheng discussed with Zhou Zhu, Uncle Qi Gui, and Song's second father about the land preparation and construction of the house. While listening, Qi Suniang whispered to Wang Dawhip, discussing the purchase of farm tools, lime, thatch, and timber.

That night, Chen Yan and Qi Suniang did not return to the city and lived in the Guanyin Nunnery. Chen Yan slept in a room with Zhou Zhu and talked all night, and Qi Su Niang went to sleep with Tianwang's mother-in-law Song. The few clothes he had brought with him were all given to the people.

In the early morning of the second day, Qi Su Niang was awakened by the sound of a child reading, and at a strange moment, Tianwang Niangniang walked in from outside and said: "The children ate a full meal yesterday, and drank porridge again this morning, and finally have energy." Mr. Zhou told them not to play indiscriminately, and before they started to build a house, they still read and read every day to review their previous homework. Pushing Qi Su Niang and said, "The porridge is cooked on the stove outside, and you can drink it too." ”

Qi Su Niang also admired Zhou Zhu when she heard this, and hurriedly went outside to take a bowl of porridge from the broken stove erected on the ground, and before she drank it, she heard a commotion, "I'm back, Tianwang is back from buying grain."

When Qi Su Niang heard this, she knew that they had rushed back with food on their backs overnight, so she hurriedly pulled the whip mother-in-law, "Auntie, hurry up and add more rice, they are afraid that they have been hungry for a day." ”

The whip lady hurriedly responded, and turned around to lead the women to cook. Although Wang Tianwang was tired, he was still in spirit, entered the nunnery, and said while drinking water: "As soon as I entered the city last night, I heard the news that the emperor ordered the grain to be intercepted from the north and returned to our affected states and counties. On the same day, the price of rice dropped, eight taels and one stone. I thought that it would be down in a few days, but I didn't dare to buy more, so I estimated the number of days and bought twenty stones. And forty taels of silver, I bought some hoes for digging ditches and guiding water, plowshares for opening fields, and axes for cutting trees. As he spoke, he was a little uneasy, but he just looked at Qi Su Niang.

Chen Yan and the others all laughed, and Zhou Zhu said with a smile: "Tianwangxian's nephew made a decision on the spot, and he has the style of a big whip brother." ”

Although Wang Tianwang didn't understand his words, he also knew that he was praising him, and then he saw that Qi Su Niang couldn't stop laughing at him, knowing that this was not wrong, he smiled happily, took the thick porridge sent by the whip mother-in-law, and drank it in a big gulp.

Now that they had some farm tools, everyone began to discuss the matter of land preparation, and Wang Dawhip secretly called Qi Su Niang to the side and whispered: "Su Niang, I heard the actor say yesterday that he has resigned and returned to his hometown. He is now an official, and your family will have no income in the future except for the money collected from the rent. Seeing that you are now going to spend a lot of money, your family ......"

Qi Su Niang comforted: "Uncle Wang, don't worry. In the past few years, we have been able to save a lot of money outside the home. My brother also earned some money in the capital, and gave me a lot. Our family is not yet. ”

Wang Dawhip relieved his heart and said with a smile: "It's okay if you don't be an official, if you don't have an official who has been an official and has handled things in the village, where can you continue to do it steadily?" In the end, there are still four surnames and four families. how to match the head of the farm tool material; Which one starts to build a house on flat land, and which one comes last; How the fields left by the dead are distributed among the relatives is not a trivial matter. The old man of the Chen family went again, and he didn't get a head, he all pointed to the actor. He frowned again and said: "There are many desperate households in the four villages, and their fields are afraid that they will be confiscated by the government again, and in the end, we will have to spend the same amount of money to go to the government to make money like seven years ago." ”

Qi Su Niang said in a low voice: "If you suffer a loss, you will buy a lesson, if you have no land, before the government investigates, let the clan elders be the masters, and let those who have no land be the heirs, this land is still ours." ”

Wang Dawhip was overjoyed, "This idea is good, but it also has to be hosted by an official, such a cheap thing, who doesn't break his head to fight" While speaking, he looked at Qi Su Niang, and stopped talking.

Qi Su Niang smiled quietly: "Uncle Wang, don't worry, I remember that Brother Tianwang has no land." It turned out to be an heir, so naturally it is not about the distance, of course, it has to look at the merits and hardships. Whoever contributed more to the reconstruction in this disaster, the clan elders naturally took a high look. Although the farm tools are bought, it is far from enough, and we still have to buy grain seeds, and we may have to buy some things in the future, we always ask Tianwang to go to the city to buy them, isn't this credit his? ”
