Chapter 111: Disaster Victims, They're Catching Up

"If you don't mind......"

As soon as Shen Huazhuo spoke, Fu Qingyuan understood, and hurriedly nodded: "Don't mind, don't mind." "Eating the food cooked by Yun Niangzi, he will wake up laughing when he dreams, how can he mind.

Shen Huazhuo laughed out loud.

Only he, a living treasure, can still make people laugh at this time.

Back at home, the days were waning, and the Yun family's night dinner was made by Yun Xiaomei.

She got the letter sent back by Shen Huazhuo early, and added several dishes that were said to be Fu Qingyuan's favorite dishes.

Meat and vegetarian dishes were set up on a table full of dishes.

"Yun Niangzi's craftsmanship is really extraordinary." Fu Qingyuan is a person who has food and can say anything good, and when he takes a bite, his mouth is like a flower, sentence after sentence.

At the end of the meal, Shen Huazhuo smiled meaningfully: "Actually, I have been busy clearing the goods in the shop today. ”

So there is simply no time to cook.

Yun Xiaomei's face was already red.

No matter who he praised, he always recognized her craftsmanship.

"Uh, disrespectful, disrespectful." The red stars flashing in Fu Qingyuan's eyes did not disappear, and he continued to praise Yun Xiaomei without blushing and heartbeat.

"Yun Niangzi is powerful, her skills are good, and even the apprentices she teaches are extremely smart."

Yun Xiaomei was praised by him for not being ashamed or impatient, and kept her head down.

Shen Huazhuo smiled: "Actually, it's all little sisters who are talented." ”

She likes to cook, but she is not as talented as Yun Xiaomei, as long as she has seen any dishes a few times, and then gives a little guidance, she can make them according to the gourd painting, and the taste is not bad.

There are two sisters-in-law, one is happy to learn, and the other is happy to teach.

The results are really good.

Slowly taught Yun Xiaomei some dishes, and she was able to get rid of the Yun family's big burden of cooking.

After eating refreshments after the meal, Yun Xiaomei tilted her head and asked Fu Qingyuan: "Are there really many victims outside the city?" ”

She was a little afraid of him, but when she saw that he saved her eldest sister, she was also funny and humorous, and she dared to talk to him when she praised her.

"There are not many two or three hundred people, most of them are from Niujia Village, Shipan County." As soon as they heard about the victims, their brother went up to the castle tower to take a look.

"Fortunately, there was no disaster in Lingling County this year." Yun Xiaoshu shook his head, feeling sad for them in his heart.

"Thanks to the help of Yun Niangzi, the seeds in your shop have really helped them a lot." Fu Qingyuan shouted excitedly, the tenants in their family also use their seeds, if there is no drought-resistant millet and sorghum, it is unknown what they are like now.

"I don't know how Yun Niangzi has such a dexterous mind." Fu Qingyuan was originally a compliment in a hurry, and except for Yun Xiaomei, who was ignorant and ignorant, everyone else looked at her with thoughtful eyes.

"It's probably because of good deeds and accumulation of virtue, and I got that book by chance." Shen Huazhuo always pushed it to the book that didn't exist at all.

Fu Qingyuan had probably been curious for too long, so he had to ask for an understanding.

"I don't know where Yun Niangzi planted the seeds?"

This time, even Yunbeard couldn't help but stare at her nicely.

Not to mention the Fu family brothers, even their Yun family didn't know the specific place, they only knew that whenever she transported seeds, she would go to the back mountain, but no one had ever seen a field in the back mountain.

I didn't think much about it before, but now when I calm down, I just feel that it is amazing.

Shen Huazhuo's face was ordinary, his eyes were slight, and his voice was reproachful: "I can understand your curiosity, but this is a trade secret, and it is really inconvenient to disclose it." Otherwise, this spread has spread out in ten or ten, so how will Yunji Seed Shop be the only one in the future? "How else is she going to make money?

"Besides, now is not the time to delve into this, the most important thing at the moment is how to get out of here."

Seeing that her face was ordinary and her expression was not panicked, several people who were staring at her looked at each other and made excuses to change the subject.

Fu Qingyuan often walks outside, and knows the situation of the surrounding counties best: "Yes, this year, the counties and nearby places have drought-resistant food supplies, which is much better than the situation north of the Lingjiang River, but I am afraid that this has attracted their pink eye." ”

"Doesn't the imperial court open a warehouse to release grain?" Yun Xiaoshu is bookish.

"Not to mention other places, Lingling County has a major disaster in five years, a small disaster in three years, and a famine in two years, when did the county open a warehouse and release grain?" Fu Qingyuan spread his hands extremely helplessly.

The state of the Xuanyuan Dynasty was even more decaying than Shen Huazhuo had originally thought.

It's really unfortunate to travel to such a poor place.

It's no wonder that the people in the village were so poor when they first crossed over.

But since ancient times, farming has been simply dependent on the sky.

The family cannot be violated, and natural disasters are incomprehensible.

Unlike modern times, where there is little rain, artificial rainfall, and more rainfall, ditches are built to drain water, and natural disasters are less and less harmful to crops.

"It's not the way to go."

They have to get out of here, or the number of people outside will only grow.

"Yes, the rebel party will also take advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble."

There has always been a bandit in the Lingjiang area that has been bandits all year round, and this time they will definitely hear the wind and come, maybe they are already on the way south.

"Let's go back to the town, where the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and the walls of the city are thick and easy to defend and difficult to attack." Fu Qingyuan mentioned again that he was leaving.

"But the city gate is closed, how can I get out?" Fu Qingyuan shook his head.

"Let's go find Master Li." He will give the Fu family face.

The next day, the Fu family had not yet sent the news, but the Yun family ushered in Li Yuancai, the current county magistrate of Lingling County.

"What are you doing here?" Shen Huazhuo was sweeping the door, and as soon as he straightened his back, he crashed into a pair of eyes full of warmth.

"Bold, dare to be rude when you see the county master." The official beside him pointed his hand and shouted horizontally.

Shen Huazhuo remembered that Li Yuancai's identity is different now.

She lowered her head and rolled her eyes silently, but still bent down to salute.

Suddenly, the streets and alleys are panicked, pedestrians are rushing to and fro, and there are people hiding things and packing their luggage, all of them are running for walking and running in order to fully prepare, and the shops on the street are closed and desolate.

"Are you satisfied?" With the salute done, she turned back to the courtyard.

"Huazhuo ......"

has only been a county magistrate for a few months, and his voice is faintly majestic.

"The county magistrate looks at the land you govern, they are all afraid, they are all afraid." I didn't want to say more, but it was because of his orders that they couldn't leave here.

"You speak well, I'll let you out." Li Yuancai eased his voice, he couldn't harden his heart for her after all.

The woman in front of her turned around suddenly, her eyes clear and suspicious.

"You just need to remember that although I can't protect you openly, I don't want you to have an accident, and by the way, I also want you to send a letter to my father."

Ignoring the inexplicable affection in Li Yuancai's words, Shen Huazhuo only grasped one key point, they could go out of the city.

But......

"And what about them?" She pointed to the others.

"If you want to leave, you can leave the city before noon today."

The people above don't want the people in the county, but their things, and wouldn't it be easier for people to pick them up when they leave.

"Thank you." No matter what he was thinking, he always accepted his affection.

"Hua Zhuo ......" Li Yuan just took a step closer, she was just a stone's throw away, but it seemed to be as far away as the ends of the world.

If he had known that he would be tempted by her today, if he had gone back in time, she would still be the girl who chased after him and called him "Brother Xiucai", then can the ending between them be rewritten, so that they are in love with each other, I am afraid that there will be nothing wrong with Yunbeard for a long time.

"Daughter-in-law." Yunbeard pushed the door out, saw that it was him, looked at him vigilantly, and said that it was not an exaggeration to say that he was an enemy.

Shen Huazhuo bowed his head towards him from afar, and naturally stretched out his hand to hold him: "Quickly inform the young master of the Fu family, we have to go." ”

Everything was packed, and the heavy furniture couldn't be moved, so only some gold and silver were packed.

Along the way, Yun Xiaomei was thinking about Xu: "Dad, what should I do over there?" ”

"Shabu Town is leaning on Zhushan Town, and I will pick her up when I pass by."

Smoothly out of the city gate, Shen Huazhuo picked up the carriage, there seemed to be someone staring at her behind, and looked up, on the city wall, Li Yuancai was waving goodbye to her.

She nodded indifferently and got up, and gave a salute as a thanks.

Li Yuancai seemed to have been hit by something, and his heart was full.

People are like people, things are not people.

Fu Qingyuan's eyes moved away from the city tower, and he sighed lightly and didn't speak, but Fu Qingyuan couldn't hide his words:

"Master Li originally refused, but for some reason he agreed again, what a fickle person."

Yunbeard's eyes looked into the distance, and he also saw Li Yuancai, who had been staring at the carriage.

The lady who coveted him, I don't think he would be grateful.

"Give me something to eat, we're all starving."

Two days ago, there were two or three hundred people outside the city, but today it has plummeted to about 100 people, most of whom are old and weak women and children who can't walk.

Upon inquiry, I found out that the people who could move saw that the city gate was closed here, knew that there was no way out, and had continued southward, and they were all people who were so hungry that they could not walk at all.

"What should I do?" Yun Xiaomei still remembered that they had been so miserable when they were children, and when they saw such a scene again, their eyes were sour, and tears couldn't help but fall.

Shen Huazhuo lifted the curtain of the car and looked over, on a cold day, they were unclothed, disabled, their hair was messy, and they were so hungry that they were all skinny and bone-in-cheek, which was really miserable.

In her life, she had never seen such a tragic situation.

"Sister-in-law, can you give them the steamed buns we made."

"Don't." Fu Qingyuan opened his mouth coldly, interrupting her without hesitation.

"For ...... Why? He was very fierce, Yun Xiaomei was frightened, and she drooped her shoulders in fear and hid behind Shen Huazhuo.

No matter how sympathetic she was in her heart, she also agreed with Fu Qingyuan's statement, stroked Yun Xiaomei's shoulder, and explained to her in a low voice:

"Look at the people outside, there are so many of them, and our dry food can only barely be distributed to half of the people. What about the other people? ”

In fact, she knew in her heart what they would do, in the face of interests and life and death, there were no friends but themselves.

"They're going to rob those who get the buns, and they're even going to want to rob us, so we can't start this." Cloudbeard disagreed.

Yun Chengzhong even glanced at her, for fear of attracting the attention of the victims, and did not allow her to speak again.

Fu Qingyuan glanced behind him, and suddenly knocked on the carriage to urge: "Tiezhu, hurry up, they can't help it, they're about to catch up......"
