Chapter 163

When the emperor was anxious about disaster relief, Gu was also frowning in another village, listening to a few village heads complaining about their suffering.

One of the gray-haired old men had red circles in his eyes, "Madame has always pitied the poor and the weak, and we all know it in our hearts." If it weren't for the fact that I really couldn't help it, I wouldn't have the face to beg you. ”

As he spoke, he wiped his tears with his cuffs.

"Old man, how many families in the village have been affected? Where is it now? Gu Shi hurriedly asked, "Do you have food and clothing?" ”

Zhuang Tou sighed, "Although there is not much land in our village, most of it is fertile land, and the production in previous years was good. In the past two years, the situation has been a little worse, and I can still get by. Who knew that this year's snow fell so suddenly, and more than a dozen houses that had not been repaired for many years were directly collapsed. There are still a few families who are fine for the time being, but if there is such a snow again, I am afraid that they will not be able to hold on. If only one or two houses are broken, the village can barely be relocated. These dozens of people are really helpless. ”

When Ling Miao heard this, she said to the Gu family: "Mother, I remember if there is a Leng Mei Nunnery over there?" ”

Gu nodded, "Yes, but now there is only one host with two apprentices." You mean, to put people there? ”

"What do you think?"

Zhuang Tou hurriedly said: "We also went to find the master of Lengmei Nunnery, but ...... She said that Lengmei Nunnery is a pure land, and it is not good to entertain the laity. ”

Gu Shi was a little surprised when he heard this. Lengmei Nunnery is not far from that Zhuangzi, and it was originally a family nunnery. The three Taoist aunts in the nunnery are all supported by the Gu family, and one of the vegetables and vegetables is actually produced by that Zhuangzi. Don't say that the three masters and apprentices know this, but they don't know, shouldn't the monks pay attention to compassion?

"I know this. Nowadays, there are only some redundant houses in Lengmei Nunnery, and they are all blue brick houses, so there is no danger. I asked someone to go over and say, you go back and settle those families and move to Lengmei Nunnery early tomorrow morning. How many of you are in Zhuangzi, but this is also the case? ”

The rest of the people talked about the situation in their village. The Gu family settled down one by one, and instructed the head of the village to strictly restrain the villagers and live in the nunnery, so as not to disturb the purity of the nunnery.

"Thank you, madam, little folks!" The head of the village will kneel, "The little one must restrain them, and only stay in the back, and do not go forward to disturb them." ”

"I will ask the steward to send clothes, quilts, food and other things, and support this period first."

sent away Zhuangtou, Gu was full of feelings. She has always been kind, she has no worries about food and clothing here, and she does not have to worry about cold and warmth, but there are so many people outside who are suffering from hunger and cold. She hadn't paid attention to it before, but now that she knows it, she feels uncomfortable.

"Jin'er, you ask your family to do this in person. Food and clothing were sent over first, and some medicinal herbs were also sent at home. It's so cold, I'm afraid that some of the old and frail people will not be able to withstand the wind chill. “

Jin'er listened to them one by one and nodded.

"Mother, I want Steward Li to go over and make it clear first, if there is a master in the Nunnery, no matter who it is, the family will be driven out."

Gu Shi thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he nodded to Jin'er and motioned for her to say it.

Seeing that the mother and daughter no longer had any instructions, Jin'er went out to urgently find the arrangements of the head of the house.

"In such a winter, I don't know how many people have no hope." Gu sighed.

Ling Miao also felt very heavy in her heart. In the past, she loved snow very much, especially when she looked at the white snow, red plums blooming, which was really the most beautiful scenery in the world. She never thought that the snow would make life so difficult for the people.

"Mother, seeing that it's the end of the year, should we ask someone to send some meat and food over at that time? I think that with such a heavy snowfall, these people in Zhuangzi probably don't have the heart to celebrate the New Year. ”

Gu nodded, "How much can I help." Horizontally and vertically, we don't lack those things. ”

Some things are small, and being able to help these tenants on their Zhuangzi survive this winter is the big thing to accumulate virtue.

"It's better to go over and have a look together in two days. By the way, I would also like to talk to Master Huineng. ”

Huineng is the host of Leng Mei'an, although he is practicing in the Gu family's industry, but his human nature is really weird. Easily, the Gu family would not set foot in Leng Mei Nunnery.

This time, the homeless villagers were asked to live in Lengmei Nunnery, and Hui Neng must be angry.

On the third day, the sun came out, but it was still cold. Gu Shi and Ling Miao took people, and brought two truckloads of rice, meat, grain and oil, and rushed to Lengmei Nunnery together.

In the cold plum nunnery, there are a few plum trees blooming in Linghan, although it is not as good as the plum garden of the Duke of Chu State, and it is not as good as the plum forest of the Marquis of Wuding, but in this simple and elegant nunnery, it also seems to have a special meaning.

Gu went to Hui Neng to say goodbye, and Ling Miao simply went directly to the back to see those villagers.

There are three entrances in Lengmei Nunnery, which is actually not small. On weekdays, only Huineng has two apprentices, but it is actually very cold. Now that the last one has lived in dozens of people, it is indeed uncomfortable for Huineng. However, these villagers are also very restrained because they have arrived in an unfamiliar territory, even children, and they are all watched closely by adults, and they are not called to run around.

Ling Miao looked at it, the main side room in the courtyard plus the second room, there were less than twenty rooms, and each room was crowded. The main house is okay, there are fire pits, fill with firewood, and sleep on the kang even if the mattress is thinner. Therefore, the five main rooms are occupied by the elderly and children. The rest of the adults were scattered in the chambers. There were many people in these two places, and they all spread straw on the ground, and the worn-out mattresses were displayed on the straw - the bedding sent by Steward Li was reluctant to be used as a bedding.

When Ling Miao and Haitang Qingyun walked into the courtyard, the villagers were a little at a loss, not knowing who this girl with gorgeous clothes and looking like a painting was. It was the head of the village who arrived later when he heard the news that everyone knew. An old man came out of the crowd and knelt down in front of Ling Miao. The people behind him also knelt down with this action.

Ling Miao was startled, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to help, but the old man stubbornly refused to get up, "Such a natural disaster, if it weren't for the kindness of Madame and Miss, who allowed us to stay in the nunnery, and sent so many things to eat, I don't know if we would be able to survive the winter." This life-saving grace, please accept my waiting. ”

This old man spoke quite gently, not like an ordinary farmer. Looking at his appearance, although he was only wearing half-worn green cloth cotton clothes, he was clean and clean, and he should be literate. Ling Miao motioned for Qingyun to pick up the person, "Old man, I'm young, I can't stand such a big gift. ”

Zhuang Tou also followed a few words of persuasion, and everyone got up.

Ling Miao saw that although a few children were wearing quite thick clothes, their padded jackets were a little big, and they didn't fit well because they were sent by Steward Li yesterday. The children had snot on their faces, their noses were red, and there was a faint splash in their eyes. Looks like he's catching a cold.

Turning around, he instructed Qingyun to take the medicinal materials he brought from the car and hand them to Zhuangtou, telling him to distribute them together with the rice and meat. Not only the villagers here, but also those who stayed in the Zhuangzi also have a share.

This trip, Gu and Ling Miao gained a lot of gratitude, but they were also targeted by people with hearts.

Two days later.

"Madame, Miss, there have been a lot of sneaky people around us in the past two days. In my opinion, there are some ill intentions. ”

Qingyun was a little worried. Although she and a few female soldiers were there, there were still fewer people in Beizhuang after all, and most of them were maids and servants, and there were not many men in the nursing home, on the contrary, there were not many people on the other side.

"Who is it?" Gu Shi hurriedly asked.

Qingyun shook his head, "It doesn't look like the surrounding villagers." I think maybe it's a bandit. ”

Gu Shi was taken aback, "This is the outskirts of Beijing, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, how can there be mountain bandits?" ”

"I'm not sure. When I found them, I followed them from afar, but they disappeared when they went up the mountain. He looks very agile and athletic, and he doesn't look like a villager who has been affected by the disaster. ”

In the nearby Zhuangzi, whether it was under the name of the Gu family or not, if anyone was affected, the Gu family sent someone to send something. The villagers are simple and mostly grateful to Dade. Even if it's one or two wolf-hearted, but in short, it won't be too much. After Qingyun found that someone was staring at Beizhuang, he took a closer look and found that these people were not only numerous, but also had some advance and retreat, and should have been trained.

"The mountain roads are slippery, and it's impossible to get back to the city. I would take a few sisters with me to take turns at night in case they were troubled at night. ”
