Chapter 44: Evacuation from the Mountains

Xiao Yue can finally stop watching those crooked officials perform worse than others in front of Wen Youyou. She saw the grass huts that appeared one after another on the road, and the victims who watched them on the side of the road.

These victims looked neatly dressed, and when they saw Zhang Zhixian leading a group of people in official uniforms, they all knelt on the side of the road at once.

Wen Youyou was touched by this scene, he walked quickly to the middle of the people, and said to everyone: "Folks, please hurry up, the lower officials are sent by the court to preside over the disaster relief of this flood disaster, please don't worry and be afraid, please hurry up!" Xiao Yue saw that these people were a little suspicious when they heard Wen Youyou's words, so she gave Zhang Zhixian a look. Zhang Zhixian walked to Wen Youyou's side and said to the victims: "Fellow villagers, this is Lord Wen sent by the imperial court to preside over disaster relief matters in Luodai Town, if you have any ideas and difficulties, you can come to the county government to come to me or Lord Wen to intercede." Let's all get up, let's go about our own business first!" These victims all recognized Zhang Zhixian, so they got up one after another, and thanked the adults in their mouths.

At this time, an old man said to himself: "It is better to go to Yuquan Town and Pingfeng County for disaster relief in Luodai Town." Although his voice was low, Wen Youyou heard it clearly, he walked in front of the old man, took his hand and asked, "Old man, what do you mean by this?" The old man saw the sincerity of Wen Youyou's question, so he didn't hide it and said: "In fact, the disaster in our Luodai Town seems to be serious, but in fact, the lives of the victims have little impact, unlike other places, hey... He sighed and bowed his head.

Wen Youyou hurriedly asked, "Who told you about the other places?" Zhang Zhixian originally wanted to speak, but was stopped by Wen Youyou's eyes, so he was silent. The old man said slowly: "Lord Hui, it was said by those who came to the mountain to take refuge and escape the disaster, they said that many people died in Yuquan Town and Pingfeng County. Saying that, he couldn't bear it, and took Wen Youyou's hand: "My lord, please go to these places and help them!" Wen Youyou held the old man's hand and said, "Xiaguan must go to the two places you said as soon as possible, thank you!" The old man shook his head and said, "I have a handful of old bones, I can't help anything, what is there to thank." I just hope that God will stop raining and that the flood will recede as soon as possible, then you should be thankful!" After speaking, he saluted Wen Youyou, and slowly walked back to his grass hut.

These officials didn't say a word when they heard this, only Zhang Zhixian said to Wen Youyou: "Master Wen, you see if you go to inspect the disaster first, or go back to the county government to repair it." Wen Youyou looked at the group of officials behind him, he knew that the situation in Luodai Town should not be too bad, and it might not be a good idea to take so many officials to visit the disaster together, so it was better to go to the county government first, he said: "Go back to the county government first." Zhang Zhixian nodded, and the officials behind him also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, he went to the shore early in the morning to wait for Lord Wen, and then walked for half a day on the mountain road, which was muddy and miserable, and he was already miserable, and he also wanted to go back to the county government to have a good rest.

Climbing to the top of this mountain, Satsuki found that there were no peaks standing here, but as if it had been flattened by someone with a large knife, forming a large flat dam, and there were some stone and wooden houses here, which should be the permanent residents of the mountain, and many newly built grass huts should have come to escape the victims. Under the leadership of Zhang Zhixian, the group came to the temporary office of the county government on the top of the mountain, which is a stone house and very sturdy. Listening to Zhang Zhixian's introduction on the road, the owner of the house originally lived in Luodai Town, but later couldn't bear the flood, so the family moved to the mountain to build a house, and the house in the town was rented to the county government as a post station, so the family had a close relationship with the county government.

Since it is a temporary office space, it is not so particular, and entering from the gate is a hall, which should be a place for deliberations. Zhang Zhixian arranged for the adults to sit down in the hall, and a small servant brought tea. Xiao Yue was not qualified to sit with these adults, and she and Mu Shi were led by Zhang Zhixian's master to the accommodation arranged for them.

Xiao Yue followed this master who claimed to be surnamed Lin, through the two courtyards of the stone house, and arrived at the place to arrange a temporary residence for Wen Youyou and his entourage, Master Lin said with some apologies: "This was originally a temporary requisitioned house, a little simple, I hope Master Wen will forgive me and say a few kind words in front of Lord Wen." On the way here, this Master Lin had the heart to make friends with Xiaoyue and talk to her, but Xiaoyue felt that it was a bit difficult to lower her voice and pretend to be a male voice, so she was too lazy to take care of it.

made this Master Lin think that Xiao Yue pretended to be high, and looked down on him, the master of the county, and felt a little inferior, and worried that she would find thorns everywhere and embarrass him. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yue looked at the humble environment here, and did not dislike it, but said: "Master Lin has worked hard, first, we adults are here for business, and it is for disaster relief, and second, we adults are not too concerned about food and accommodation." When Master Lin heard this, he lowered his heart that had just been lifted: "That's good, that's good, we don't know each other before, so I hope Master Wen will give me more advice on some things in the future." ”

Xiao Yue didn't want to talk to him more: "Master Lin has also worked hard, you go and do your official business first, let's just come here by ourselves." ”

Master Lin saw that he had the intention of chasing away guests, so it was inconvenient to stay: "Okay, what do you need Master Wen to send someone to me again." With that, he left.

Xiao Yue looked at their residence, it was a small courtyard, there were three or four rooms, she asked Mu Shi to put Wen Youyou's luggage in the main house in the middle, and then tidied up the room and looked through the courtyard herself. Next to the main house is a study room, in which the four treasures of the study are complete. Next to the main house, she found a sideroom, cleaned it up briefly, and suddenly felt a little sleepy. She called Mu Shi, asked him to clean up and wait for Wen Youyou in the front hall, and if something happened to come again, she would call her, and then sleep with her clothes.

Maybe there was something in her heart, so Xiao Yue only slept for half an hour and woke up. She got up and went out, and saw that there was no one in the courtyard, so it was estimated that Mu Shi went to the front hall. She actually kept Mr. Pan in mind, so she went to the study to leave a note for Wen Youyou, and then went out to find someone.

When she arrived at the study, she was inking ink while thinking about what she had seen and heard today, and when she wrote a message, she didn't know why she wrote at the end: "Don't be a lie, don't listen to floating, don't take a fancy name, don't make false things", these sixteen words. Before the ink was dry, she got up and went out.

The courtyard prepared by Zhang Zhixian for Wen Youyou was actually very close to the side door, and Xiaoyue didn't take a few steps out of the stone house and came to the grass shed area where the victims lived.

The situation on the hill is similar to what Zhang Zhixian said before, the victims are not a little overwhelmed because their homes are flooded by the river, but after all, their property is damaged, and they don't know when they will be able to return to their homes, and some people seem to be in a depressed mood.

Xiao Yue wandered among these grass sheds, she was looking for Mr. Pan, and at the same time, she also wanted to find the shopkeeper of the inn, and then asked him about Mr. Pan's whereabouts, but she didn't find anything. She felt that Mr. Pan was not a local, and it sounded a bit difficult to start, so she needed to start with the inn. When no one could be found in the grass shed area, she wondered if the shopkeeper had already built a house on the hill and did not live in the grass shed, so she wanted to find someone to ask.

She looked up at the back of a young man in front of her, who was dressed in white, thinking that this person still had a taste for Wen Youyou, and was about to say hello, but this person suddenly turned his head and took a look at Xiao Yue.

When Xiaoyue saw it, she was happy, but she didn't expect to meet an acquaintance at this time.
