Chapter 83: Slums
Since Gu Qingyan let the Yan family brothers manage the Sword Casting Shop, he fully trusted them, and Chu Nanle did not doubt it, "The Sifang City will give the Sword Casting Company the greatest support, you can come to the City Lord's Mansion to find me directly if you have anything, if I am not there, you can also find Wu Yue." ”
"Thank you Chu City Lord, thank you Gu Boss !!"
Yan Haochu's eyes were full of gratitude, and he admired Chu Nanle even more for letting the city lord recognize the lord at a young age, he had heard a lot of things about Chu Nanle during this time, but he always had to see a real person to evaluate it objectively.
There were some things to do next, and the Yan brothers didn't stay with Chu Nanle to eat, after all, the meals of the Sword Casting Line were all eaten by men, and the big meat and big dishes were not as fine as the City Lord's Mansion.
There is no Spring Festival in the Fairy Spirit Continent, but on the first day of every year, they will put down their work and rush home to have a meal, which is called the Reunion Festival.
The snow spread all over the city without warning, the temperature suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees, the streets were also covered with thick snow, and there were almost no pedestrians hanging out, only clusters of cooking smoke rose from the rooftops, which gave the snow-white square city a trace of fireworks.
Chu Nanle decided to wait for the reunion festival to pass before going to the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest, worried that someone would not be able to warm up for the winter, so he organized manpower to send fire concentrate door to door, and personally went to the slums in the north of the city.
Before leaving, I glanced at the hall and saw that everyone was sitting around the table where she personally supervised the creation of the big warming, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a treacherous smile:
"Yi Xiaoxiang, Mo Lingyuan, Shangguan Ying, come with me. ”
Shangguan Ying is Shen Lao's granddaughter, since she became an adult, she has been taken by Shen Lao to learn financial management, and her personality is also very interesting, and Chu Nanle is compatible, she nested into the big warm table early in the morning, looked at Chu Nanle, who was dressed thickly and ready to go out, and wailed:
"Sister Nanle, please spare me and let Mo Lingyuan go. ”
Snakes, insects, ants and other things are not afraid, but they are afraid of the cold, and they will not move their nests if they can in winter.
Mo Lingyuan is now a mortal physique, and he has no spiritual power at all, no matter how much he wears, as soon as he goes out, he will be as if he is not wearing it, glaring at Shangguan Ying, sitting in the other corner of the warm table unmoved.
The corners of Yi Xiaoxiang's mouth twitched, and the big warm table was covered with a thick blanket, which was so warm, but Chu Nanle had spoken, she had lived in the City Lord's Mansion for so long, and it was really impossible not to go, so she had to grab the cloak behind her and stand up and come to Chu Nanle's side.
"City Lord, why did you go in person?"
Chu Nanle did not force Shangguan Ying and Mo Lingyuan, seeing that Yi Xiaoxiang, a doctor who could see a doctor, was willing to go, he strode out and said lightly:
"Didn't a group of scattered villagers move into Sifang City a month ago, and it is estimated that there are no warm measures in such a short time, and on such a cold day, I am worried that some children will freeze. ”
Yi Xiaoxiang glanced at Youli, who was already waiting next to the carriage, and Wu Yue, who was in charge of consigning warm materials, and sighed: "Sifang City has the Lord of Chu City, it is really a blessing for the residents, fortunately, I will also go, I can help see if they are sick." ”
After getting along for a period of time, Yi Xiaoxiang figured out Chu Nanle's temper, as long as she didn't do anything that violated her bottom line and principles, like she could sometimes joke with Chu Nanle, including coming to the big warm table in Mingxin Hall uninvited.
Seeing Chu Nanle coming out, Wu Yue said in advance: "City Lord, all the materials have been prepared, the fire concentrate has been transported first, the warm quilt and the camp tent will set off with us, these are lighter, and I have also prepared some extra pork for the reunion festival, and the family will be able to share two catties at that time." ”
"Hmmm, sweets and pastries are also prepared for the little ones that the little ones love to eat. Chu Nanle was very satisfied with Wu Yue's ability to do things, considering that there were many children in the slums, he wanted to prepare some more candy.
Youli stepped forward and said, "Master, I have prepared a lot of candy boxes and pastries, as well as some small cotton clothes, enough for two hundred children." ”
"Very good, Yuli is very thoughtful. Chu Nanle touched the top of the young glass and soft hair, it seemed to have grown a lot taller, and the originally youthful face slowly opened, cute and handsome, and he was not as ignorant as he was when he was just an adult.
The luxurious carriage of the exclusive lord of the city is very strong and warm, surrounded by warm fur all around, and there is also a layer of fire concentrate placed under the carriage, and there is a fire prevention device in the middle, which can ensure the temperature inside the carriage without affecting the safety.
Chu Nanle sat in the middle, Yi Xiaoxiang sat on the left, and Youli consciously sat on the right as soon as she got into the carriage.
As the carriage slowly moved forward, Youli slowly moved to Chu Nanle's side, leaning his head lightly, now that he had slept in a separate room with Chu Nanle, there were very few opportunities to even hold hands.
Chu Nanle did not push away the young glass, and portrayed that the accompanying spirit gathering array was constantly cultivating, and only if the strength was strong enough could he protect his most important person, and then he could bring his parents to the Sifang City.
An hour passed, the carriage slowly stopped, Chu Nanle dispersed the spirit gathering array, opened his eyes, turned his head to look at Youli, who was sleeping extremely sweetly, and was about to let him sleep in the carriage, Youli had already opened his blue round eyes.
"Master, have you arrived?"
"It's here, little fox, let's go. Yi Xiaoxiang couldn't see the two of them sprinkling dog food, so she stood up and walked out first.
Chu Nanle got out of the carriage with Youli, looked at the large crowded thatched hut in front of him and frowned slightly, there are demon beasts in the surrounding forests, and they will not enter the forest to cut down trees and build wooden houses unless they have the protection of monks, it seems that none of these people who have moved here have cultivated.
"Wu Yue, don't alarm everyone for the time being, arrange the camp tent first, put the materials in a big camp tent for the time being, and send someone to count how many thatched huts you can't live in. ”
Chu Nanle is worried that too many people will crowd and stampede at once, although the slum covers a large area, but most of the houses are uninhabitable, and there is even a risk of collapse, especially the snow is still falling, which is very likely to crush the houses that are not solid in the first place.
Wu Yue was prepared and took a booklet, "City Lord, this is the information of all the people in the slums, there are still fifty people left over the age of sixty, and most of them have died on the way to the house. Ninety between the ages of forty and fifty-nine are still in the labour force, forty-nine are young and middle-aged between the ages of 18 and thirty-nine, ten are between the ages of 10 and eighteen, 23 are under the age of 10, and there are three pregnant women. ”
Chu Nanle didn't expect that Wu Yue had already prepared, and he admired Wu Yue more and more, and said with a slight smile: "There are two hundred and twenty-five people in that slum, which is not very many, and in addition to the three pregnant people, a team of twenty people from the oldest to the youngest will be brought over, and they can come according to the family, after all, children still need to be taken care of by adults." ”
"Obey!" Wu Yue could see that the city lord was very satisfied, and he was naturally happy in his heart.
Yi Xiaoxiang had already put the big medicine box into the camp tent, and when she came out of the camp tent and stood beside Chu Nanle, a gust of wind came over and stamped her feet in the cold, and said tremblingly:
"Anyone who comes over will probably have to check it out, especially children. On such a cold day, looking at those houses that don't shelter from the wind, it is estimated that they have a lot of chilblains. ”
