Chapter 152: Shelter

"Yes, with the support of Prime Minister Tang En, things will go more smoothly!"

"Just ......"

"Just what?"

"It's just that I told Prime Minister Tang En that you taught me, and he praised you for being so good. ”

"Hahaha......"

Flandi didn't expect Glenn to be like a child, and he liked to hear praise from adults when he did a good deed.

"Okay, okay, I'm just coming up with an idea, and it's up to you to build the shelter. ”

"Don't worry, Flandie, I'll do it. ”

......

Although there is no pre-publicity, the great Emperor of the Oskaia Empire has made a lot of trouble for the helpless refugees in the middle of the blizzard season. The hand covered the shelter

The permanent population of the imperial capital is hundreds of thousands, of which only a few tens of thousands are attached to the wings of the nobility and live quite well, accounting for only about one-tenth, and the rest are commoners.

These civilians are doing well in other seasons, but they will inevitably starve and freeze during the blizzard season.

The blizzard season lasted for more than three months, and few civilians were able to store wood and food that could last for months at once.

Although there is coal in this world, it has not yet been used on a large scale. Civilians usually burn only wood for heating.

In order to save on the use of wood, freezing has become a daily routine. Only when cooking, the whole family can keep warm for a while by guarding the fire, and can only endure the cold the rest of the time.

The news that His Majesty the Emperor had built a shelter for the refugees is gradually spreading, and it is believed that it will not be long before the entire imperial capital will know about it.

This has never happened before, and many civilians who are not refugees have also gone to this shelter to see the news after hearing the news.

The shelter was large, but there were more people coming, and although there were guards guarding the door, they didn't stop others from coming to see it.

Pei Di is the child of a commoner in the imperial capital, he is not yet ten years old this year, his family lives not far from the city gate, mainly to buy vegetables sent to the imperial capital by farmers outside the city and then sell them for a living, he is considered a vegetable seller.

During the blizzard season, there are no more farmers who come to the city to sell, which cuts off their financial resources.

A month ago, Abba filled the yard with firewood, which was to be burned for more than three months, and three months was more than 100 days, so Abba divided the firewood into more than 100 portions and put them away, and what could be burned every day was a small pile.

This small pile will be divided into several times to be burned, and there will only be a few at a time, and the food will be cooked, and every time they cook, the family will squat in front of the stove to roast the fire, which is only to get some warmth.

Originally, every year was like this, although it was harder, but it could get through, and today I heard other people's children say that in the open space not far from the city gate, His Majesty the Emperor built a refuge for the refugees, which made him a little curious.

Your Majesty the Emperor, what kind of person is that? Although they are all in the imperial capital, they feel so far away from themselves.

He also wanted to see what the shelter was like, if nothing else, but the father and daughter under the low eaves in front of the door.

The father and daughter lived under the low eaves of their house before the blizzard season, and they didn't know where they came from, and they rarely spoke to others.

Mamu took pity on them, sewed a small tent out of shabby linen, and let them live in it, and gave them a little every day if there was a rich meal.

It has been snowing heavily for more than a month, and the father and daughter are still hard at fortune telling, and they are still not dead.

He is no stranger to the dead man Pedi, and last year there were people who took refuge in the snow under the eaves of his house, but unfortunately they did not last until the end of the blizzard season.

He remembered very well that it was an old man with a child younger than himself, and one day he went out to play by himself, and saw them motionless under the eaves. It's like I'm asleep, but I'm still curious.

It didn't take long for some of the soldiers to take away the corpses, one old and one young, and Mom was still covering her eyes to prevent them from looking, but she didn't know that she had seen them a long time ago.

The shelter is not far from home, and after turning two alleys, you will see the shelter that has been built for a long time, this is a big house, it may be that the news has just spread, and there are many people who come to see the new things.

Relying on his small body, he drilled around in the crowd, and after a while, he got into this big house.

"Wow, it's so warm!"

When Pedi entered the shelter, his first impression was that it was much warmer than at home, and he saw that some of the poorly dressed refugees did not feel too cold, and gathered around a cauldron to keep warm.

This shelter is a total of 100 meters long, and a large iron pot is placed every ten meters, and there is something like a stove under the iron pot, and you can't see the light of the fire, but you can feel that it is emitting a very hot heat, and the air around it is a little distorted.

Many people were warming themselves around the iron pot, and some of them were even sweating.

The air was filled with the smell of food, and the water in the iron pot was boiling, and pots of gruel were boiling.

I don't know how long it's been boiled, but the rice has been cooked to a very viscous size, and it seems to be mixed with some fruit.

Fruits, how can there be fruits in the blizzard season? I must have read it wrong.

He saw an old man scooping porridge and drinking by the iron pot, holding a broken bowl that he had picked up from nowhere, filling a bowl with a large spoon in the iron pot, and then walking to a corner by the wall. Blowing hot air slowly.

Pedi still had breakfast very early in the morning, and now he was hungry, but he didn't have a bowl to drink.

Hurriedly ran home, took out the small bowl that he usually eats by himself from the cupboard at home, and when he went out, he told the good news to the father and daughter under the eaves.

Lifting the corner of the simple tent under the eaves, I saw that the little girl was trembling in her father's arms with her eyes closed, while the middle-aged man had his eyes closed, his lips were blue, and only his thin chest was still rising and falling slightly, proving that he was still alive.

The little girl glanced at Pedi and saw that it was him, and did not feel any threat, as if she had no strength at all, and gently closed her eyes again. It's just shaking so much.

"Sister Cathy, I've found a nice place, it's very warm, come with Uncle Elvis." ”

Pedi opened two big eyes and said word by word. He really wanted his sister-in-law and his father to go to that shelter with her.

But the little girl, father and daughter, did not react at all, and did not seem to hear. This made Pedi very anxious.

"Abba! Mom. "Pedi was just a child, and he had no choice but to ask his family for help.

Pedi's Abba and Mom have always been the most fond of Pedi, even if he was mischievous and broke the water tank in the house, they didn't beat him.

It's just that he likes to get into that broken tent and talk to the father and daughter, which makes them feel a headache.

It's not that they're afraid of any danger or anything like that, it's just that they don't like their sons seeing dead people all the time.

The father and daughter in front of the door had been living under their own roof for more than a month, and they knew that they were almost exhausted now, and they knew it.

But what can they do? The help they can give has already been given, and sometimes they prefer to share a little bit of their own rations in order to pity them.

If these two people can survive the blizzard season, the couple will also feel very happy, but the fact is the truth, and they are just ordinary people, and they can't change this fact.

My son went out to play again, and the snow was still so big, and only children with strong energy would they still have the strength to go out to play in such a snowy day.

It's better for your husband and wife to stay at home honestly, and there is no chance of making money when you go out, so it's better to maintain some physical strength, at least to eat less.

It's okay to survive these few months, just to suffer a little, but it's been like this for many years, and this damn god won't stop this heavy snow because people are suffering.

The son's voice outside the door was only a very small yard away from the house, and Abba Barlow naturally heard it in the house, but he didn't care about it.

The son has a good heart and likes to help people, which is a virtue that Barlow does not want to destroy.

"Good place, it's warm?"

There must be such a place, but it is just the home of those nobles, and to be honest, if there are really nobles who can take in the father and daughter under the eaves in front of the door, they will be glad for them.
