Chapter 51: The Choice of Staying and Staying
In the early autumn sky, the autumn breeze was slow, Xu Xiaoxiao stood outside the courtyard and stretched her waist, tilting her head to feel the morning sunshine.
Smallpox prevention achieved unexpected results, and under the leadership of Chu Qing, the patients infected with smallpox were quickly distinguished, and the rest of the people who were not infected took tablets to block the virus, while the people who contracted smallpox were isolated in a settlement under the placement of the government, and the doctors in the city were responsible for taking care of them.
The refugees outside the city were also treated, and after Liujiacun was busy with the testing in the city, he followed Chu Qing to the outside of the city to start a new round of testing, and most of the refugees outside the city were infected with smallpox, so Chu Qing asked the government to build a temporary shed, so that the refugees could be isolated and treated in the temporary shed.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner, Xu Xiaoxiao pinched his fingers and calculated, seeing that it was about to be October, and now Liujia Village will face a new problem, whether to continue to move forward or spend the winter on the spot.
Liu Lizheng finally met Xu Xiaoxiao under the guidance of Dr. Li, he hadn't seen him for half a month, how did he think this girl had lost weight.
"Tiny." Liu Lizheng came to the backyard and looked at Xu Xiaoxiao and said.
"Uncle Lizheng." Xu Xiaoxiao was surprised to see Liu Lizheng, she seemed to have not seen Liu Lizheng for more than half a month.
"Are you done? Just so I wanted to go over to you. ”
Liu Li was sitting on the stone bench with Xu Xiaoxiao's support, "I'm done, I can finally take a breath." ”
"Thank you, uncle." Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Liu Lizheng, who had a lot of vicissitudes in front of him, and felt guilty, if it weren't for her, Liu Lizheng wouldn't have worked so hard.
"Child, what kind of stupid words, if it weren't for you, our Liujia Village wouldn't have this opportunity to enter the city." Liu Lizheng took the teacup handed over by Xu Xiaoxiao and pretended to be angry.
Xu Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded, "By the way, it's winter soon, should we stay here or continue to go north?" ”
Liu Lizheng is also worried about this matter, they have done so many things in order to get the opportunity to continue to go north, but after more than half a month of getting along, the villagers of Liujia Village have become accustomed to life in the town, and everyone has proposed to stay in the town, let him come over and ask for a little opinion.
But staying in the town requires a tongwen, they are fleeing, how can they be eligible to get the yamen's tongwen, if they continue to go north, they will have to solve the problem of spending the next winter.
Now he is facing two major problems, the only thing he can think of is Xiaoxiao, she has a lot of ghost ideas, and she has a very good relationship with Lord Chu Qing, maybe she can give a solution.
"Actually, I want to hear your opinion on this matter." Liu Lizheng thought for a long time before he spoke with difficulty, after all, he was Lizheng, and it was really ashamed that this kind of decision that would determine the life and death of the people in the village was handed over to Xiaoxiao.
Xu Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes and thought about it, her opinion must not be to move forward, the current Anle Town is surrounded by plains, and planting and development are the best resources.
"I think I can stay." Xu Xiaoxiao pondered for a long time before he opened his mouth and said what he thought in his heart.
"Well, I also have this intention, that is, to stay in the town, you need to pass the text, this?" Xu Xiaoxiao's answer was exactly what Liu Lizheng wanted, but when he thought of the Tongwen question, he fell into a dilemma.
Although Xu Xiaoxiao has space, there is no way to make a Tongwen in the space, and the problem of Tongwen still needs to be solved by the local government, but Nazhi County is domineering by nature, and he is afraid that if he approves Tongwen in Chu Qing's face, it will be difficult everywhere in the future.
"I need to discuss this matter with Chu Qing." Xu Xiaoxiao's thin lips pursed and said.
Liu Lizheng saw Xu Xiaoxiao's embarrassment, he knew that this matter was beyond Xiaoxiao's ability, and he said with relief, "It's not in the way, no, let's continue to go north." ”
Xu Xiaoxiao didn't know what Chu Qing thought so he had to nod his head, Doctor Li wanted to leave Liu Lizheng in the courtyard to eat, but Liu Lizheng refused, Lizheng in Wangjia Village arranged a large courtyard for the villagers of Liujia Village, and the villagers took turns to cook food.
Doctor Li saw that Liu Lizheng had made up his mind to go, so he didn't stop him, and took a few pieces of bacon that he dried and handed it to Liu Lizheng, he knew that the Liujia Village led by Liu Lizheng were all refugees who went north all the way, and they had suffered a lot along the way, and there was nothing to eat, so he forced the bacon into Liu Lizheng's arms.
Liu Lizheng thanked him again and again, and left the hospital with bacon in his red eyes, Xu Xiaoxiao sat on the stone bench and held his cheeks to worry about the future.
"I'll give you the approval." Chu Guo, who had been hiding in the room and eavesdropping, walked out of the room.
Xu Xiaoxiao raised his eyes and looked at the confident Chu State with a dull expression, "You are not the emperor yet." ”
"But I'm the crown prince." Chu Guo took out the prince's token from his bosom and put it in front of Xu Xiaoxiao.
"Li Da, the magistrate of Anle Town, was removed from his post and sent to prison for perverting the law for bribes and murder."
Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Chu Guo in a daze, looking ahead with his head held high, his expression was firm, and he seemed to see the future of Chu State in a trance.
"Chu State." Chu Qing's voice appeared behind.
Xu Xiaoxiao hurriedly turned around, and sure enough, Chu Qing had a dark face, glared at Chu Guo angrily, and quickly stepped forward and grabbed his arm, "What nonsense." ”
"Brother Huang, I am the crown prince, and I should share the burden for my father." Chu Guo broke free from Chu Qing's imprisoned palm and said menacingly.
Chu Qing couldn't help Chu Guo to play tricks and hugged him and walked to the house, Chu Guo desperately knocked on Chu Qing's waist and wanted to break free.
Xu Xiaoxiao was worried and followed him into the room, Chu Qing put Chu Guo on the stool and looked at him with a serious expression.
"Have you forgotten what we've been through along the way? How dare you reveal your identity. ”
Chu Guo's thin lips pursed into a line, and his face puffed out angrily, "I know, but do you turn a blind eye to Li Da's crime?"
"Brother Huang, it was you who told me that I should be killed if I am an official."
Chu Qing's face distorted by anger softened under Chu Guo's words, "The most important thing for you now is to protect yourself, not deal with inconsequential matters. ”
"It doesn't matter? Even the refugees who fled joined the war against smallpox, so why did I, as the crown prince, stay out of it? Brother Huang, is such a prince needed by the country? ”
Chu Guo was unconvinced and told the grievances in his heart once and again, he wanted to sit down and prove that he was no longer a child who was protected.
"So you don't care about your life in order to prove yourself?" Chu Qing regained his previous expression, and got up and sat aside with an expressionless face.
He poured a cup of tea, picked up the teacup and drank it a few times.
"Well, I'm not a kid anymore." Chu Guo lowered his eyes and looked at his toes, and said in a low voice.
"Okay, since you want to do it, the imperial brother will accompany you." Chu Qing put down the teacup and exhaled and said.
"Why did you forget me?" Xu Xiaoxiao clasped her hands on her chest and smiled, "This girl's martial arts are no worse than yours. ”
At this time, because of her, then she must protect the safety of Chu State.
