Unexpectedly, the young master of the Xu family, who came back after walking a hundred miles, did not wait for the distressed Xu Tou family to rectify a table of good wine and good food to replenish his body and bones, and left again after taking a sip of tea, saying that he was going to give a message to a brother to the side of Qingshan Town, and hurriedly poured a pot of tea into his mouth and left, and he couldn't persuade him.

Looking at the table that had just been put up, Xu Toujia sighed, and the shopkeeper of Fu Xianju leaned up and asked, is it distressed that no one will come to eat this table, and he will spend silver in vain, but he replied:

"My son suffered a lot outside, it wasn't this year's new tea, and he refused to drink a sip, but now he will go down in three or two bites!"

The shopkeeper didn't dare to ask more, but he heard Xu Toujia say: "This table of noodles, send you and the cook to eat, take the pot of wine yourself, don't pick up the expensive ones, the lord is happy today." ”

A few guys, cooks and shopkeepers are inexplicable, obviously saying that your son has suffered a lot outside, how can you still invite us to eat this ten taels of silver table? But I can't figure it out, but on weekdays, this kind of banquet is just to see, and it is really the first time to taste it, not to mention such a year, sit down and eat the table, hey, that is really the first time.

One of the guys who was full of oil couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and when he asked why the Xu Tou family, who suddenly became generous, was happy, he was blinded.

My son is sensible and has a brother, can he be happy to be a father?

Then Xu Toujia smiled bitterly and touched the money bag that disappeared from his waist, good boy, this is really not unfamiliar.

....

To tell the truth, Xu almost couldn't move his steps when he saw the table before, in the end, the table made by the chef in his own restaurant, compared to the pig food eaten outside these days, it is from the sky and the ground. How could it be that Brother Wei's father and mother were still waiting for him to bring back the message, and it would be late after Chinese New Year's Eve....

There is no way, this bit of morality still has to be talked about.

Xu Xian pounded his sore legs and feet near the city gate, and the sergeant guarding the city gate looked at him like a fool, and just entered the city and left the city before the New Year, could it be that he was a fool? ”

Seeing that Xu Xian had gone far away, the soldier defending the city threw the broken piece of silver up and down, and laughed with his colleagues that it was another windfall.

Out of Qishan County, although there are hungry people, but it is rare, three or five people get together to bake the fire, there are still a few red buds in the fire, and behind them is a shack piled up with some scattered things, which is considered a shelter.

The life of the hungry people in the boundary of Qishan County is not difficult, even if it is winter in the surrounding mountains, you can still see something to eat, so as not to starve to death, plus there are occasional guests who are kind, Qishan County Yali from time to time comes out to pick a few burdens to come over to condole, put down a few in front of each shack, not much, but it is better than nothing.

Among the three types of relief in Dayao, the name of the relief, and the relief of the famine are different, and they are used in their own bodies, among which the relief is mainly based on cooking and relief workers, the former giving porridge to the hungry, and the latter to work for relief. The two prefectures of Huisu benefited from the two policies of relief and loans, and the counties and counties also widely distributed rice and grain, so life gradually improved, and many hungry people who lived in Jiangzhou began to return to their hometowns. Qishan County originally set up a porridge shed, but the daily boiling porridge water is not enough to supply one-tenth of the hungry people outside the city, so the porridge shed can not be maintained when it is not long, at this time a small official in the county government has a whim, saying that the red lotus can also be used for the rice grain, and the rice grain is expensive and the red lotus is cheap, the grain that could save one person can now be saved by changing the red lotus can save three or five people, why not?

Then the porridge shed set up in Qishan County was changed to the city government officials led by the red cabbage to go out of the city to distribute grain, and the results were fruitful, Qishan County has not seen starvation for some time, but the rich families in the city are still afraid of putting those hungry people who have been hungry and crazy into the eyes and plundering their own homes, and the county government is still in the city closure order, if it is not for the people of the county who have come back to the regiment, they will not be able to enter.

Xu Xian's burden didn't weigh much, and there were some scattered clothes in it, but he weighed more than 1,000 catties after walking less than half the way on the mountain road, so he was still in a hidden bush next to the road, waiting to come back and pick it up.

After dragging the lead and walking for about an hour, Brother Wei said, "I will arrive when I see the crooked locust tree at the entrance of the village", Xu Xian was already half-convinced at the moment, and he was embarrassed to say "a little far" but convinced it.

A little far, ten miles, twenty miles, is also a little far, Xu Xian has some regrets, why don't you go to the carriage and horse shop to get a horse when you come out, there is no store in front of the village at this time, then Qingshan Town is still far away in the sky and there is no landing, how should this be good?

Xu Xian stopped to rest for a cup of tea, and when he moved forward, he met a man dressed as a woodcutter, who was slightly older, and his legs and feet seemed to be inflexible, so he asked: "Old man, how far is Qingshan Town still there?"

"It's not far away, there are still eleven or twelve miles left, hurry up and arrive in less than an hour. ”

There are still more than ten miles of land .... Xu Xian, who thought that the town was close at hand, felt that his head was as big as the usual three.

Feelings, what you Wei Changpan said is a little far, it is dozens of miles smaller!

Xu Xian scolded Wei Changpan in his heart why he didn't make it clear earlier, but when he remembered his shy expression at that time, he understood that he knew that he would be so embarrassed on this mountain road at that time?

It's not shallow to hurt people.

Xu Xian sighed and moved forward, if you don't want to sleep on this mountain road, there is only this road in front of you.

A stranger came to the entrance of Qingshan Town, saying that he was from Qishan County, and as soon as the news came out to find Lao Wei's family, the town's expressions became wonderful, and the eyes of the people who came were a little playful.

The head Zhang family in Qishan County, who was still chivalrous and loyal three years ago, has become a bandit on the official notice, and it is an unbelievable thing for the people in the county and town, after all, they get along day and night, and they don't see what they look up to see, and they become adulterous and abductive people who do all kinds of evil, who can believe it? Who dares to believe it? But the official notice is posted there, and the big red seal is stamped on it, and the charges are clearly listed, and the old Xiucai in the town specially went to the county seat for this purpose, and when he came back, he was silent, and no one asked or asked.

The little cub of the old Wei family and the second master of Qian in the town are both disciples of the Zhang family in Qishan County, and now they have become bandits, and the eyes of the people in the town are different when they look at the two families.

There were more and more strangers around the old Wei family who came to look for him, but no one was willing to lead the way for him, Xu Xian became anxious, could it be that he went to the wrong town? But the big locust tree at the entrance of the town that really didn't dare to compliment grew there, it couldn't be another town.

Looking at the frightened eyes of the people in the town, Xu Xian suddenly understood something, and shouted angrily: "Who is Brother Wei, don't you people who are in the same place as him know? Could it be true that you believe the nonsense on the official notice!"

Shout at the top of one's lungs.

"Young man, speak carefully. "The old man on crutches walked out tremblingly, he was a respected old man in the town, who had done official work in Qishan County," the notice issued by the government, where is there a false truth, the stones and money are good people in the town, but maybe they are contaminated with some bad habits outside, so they ended up like this, young man, the old man advises you, don't mess with these people again...."

"You!!fart!" Xu Xian roared angrily, "The government says that he is a bandit, he is a bandit, then Lao Tzu said that you are pigs and dogs, what is the difference between you and pigs and dogs!"

"You, you, you...."The old man was stunned and stretched out his finger to point Xu Xian, "The vertical cannot be taught, and the rotten wood cannot be carved!"

"The rotten wood, half of which is buried in the earth, is showing off here. "Xu Xianwudao cultivates for the sake of his ability to scold people, it will be enough to run rampant in Jiangzhou, "Get far away, Lao Tzu is mixed on this road, if anyone dares to move a hair of Lao Tzu today, Ming'er will bring someone to kill the chickens and dogs in your town." ”

Xu Xian's words obviously frightened the people of the town, and the few young people who had just carried the hoe and the fork and wanted to teach him a lesson did not dare to step forward.

"No one leads the way, Lao Tzu looks for it himself. Xu Xian said again, raised his hand and pointed at the surrounding crowd, "There is no one in a town who is affectionate and righteous!"

As soon as these words came out, a tall, dark-skinned young farmer stood in the crowd and said in a deep voice, "I'll take you there." ”

"Wu Tongqian!" the old man on crutches breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the young farmer, "You are from the town, how can you turn your elbows out!"

Wu Tongqian's face was gloomy: "I can't get used to seeing you one by one, people are looking for the old Wei family, not to dig your ancestral grave, so I don't help with this little help." ”

Without waiting for the old man to come back, he pulled Xu Xian out of the crowd and went towards the town.

The old man was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, but there was nothing he could do.

"This is the old Wei family, since the stone accident, Aunt Wei had a serious illness, and she is still lying in bed at this time and can't get up, and Uncle Wei is all in charge of the house and outside the house. Wu Tongqian wiped his sweat, "I grew up with the stone, and he can help with the work in his father's field, but Aunt Wei is sick, and if she doesn't go to the county town to get medicine, I'm afraid it won't get better." ”

Wu Tongqian led Xu Xian to the bungalow, which looked like it had been built not long ago, but the owner of the house did not rest diligently, so it was a little dilapidated: "Uncle and aunt, Tongqian is here, and a guest is brought in." ”

There was no New Year's joy in the house, two people with pale and haggard faces were lying on the bunk, and one was sitting on a low stool, both of them were blind, and when they saw the guests, they were weak to answer, and then let go of their eyes.

Xu Xian felt as if he had sand in his eyes, stepped forward in three steps and two steps, and whispered next to Father Wei.

Wei Changpan is outside, and he is doing well, so let him come back with a word.

Don't read, don't wait.
