Chapter 42 The Current Situation of Jiayuan

The three of them galloped all the way, and in less than an hour, they had already arrived outside Jiayuan City.

It's still a familiar crowd, or a familiar porridge shed.

An Xin had already seen the busy figures of the masters and sisters right away, and she immediately dismounted and rushed over.

Xiao Zheng saw the scene in front of him for the first time, and he felt that he had imagined the plight of the victims enough, but now the impact of the ragged and skinny appearance of these living people on him still made his mind instantly blank.

He sat on horseback for a quarter of an hour, until tears fell to his mouth, and the bitter taste made him gradually sober up.

Turning over and dismounting, he slowly walked into the crowd.

The victims looked at him in bright clothes, afraid that the dirt on his body would touch his clothes, and hurriedly made way for him.

Looking at the way they looked at themselves, Xiao Zheng's heart was full of bitterness and deep self-blame.

This should have been a disaster that could have been mitigated, and they could also get relief food from the imperial court and restore a better life, but the imperial court did not take its due responsibility, so that now the disaster has worsened, and their lives have become so miserable!

Xiao Zheng walked forward slowly, he wanted to say to them, "Don't dodge, he doesn't think they are dirty, in fact, they are cleaner than anyone else, and they are clean in their hearts!" ”

But he couldn't speak, he was afraid that these people would say, "What if the heart is clean, no matter how clean the heart is, it can't get back a grain of rice!" ”

He wiped away his tears and quickened his steps forward.

Suddenly, a child fell to the ground because he was not in a hurry to dodge and cried loudly.

Xiao Zheng hurriedly walked over, squatted down and helped him up, he slowly wiped away the child's tears, and told him, "Don't cry, it'll be fine!" ”

The child's parents hurriedly came over and bowed and apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the child is not sensible, don't be angry!" ”

Xiao Zheng shook his head at them, "It's my fault, it's all my fault!" ”

The child's parents naturally didn't understand what Xiao Zheng meant, and hurriedly pulled the child over, "It's okay, it's okay." It's good that your clothes don't get dirty~"

Xiao Zheng looked at them bowing down and apologizing, and tears couldn't help flowing again.

He thought of his father's words, "They are the most innocent and kind people in the world, they don't want you to give them much in return, as long as they can eat enough and dress warmly, they will be grateful to you, if you can't even satisfy them at all, you are not worthy of being the king of this Dayu!" ”

Xiao Zheng deeply realized his father's teachings, this is his responsibility, and it is the most basic expectation of thousands of Li people in Dayu, if he can't even do this, he really doesn't deserve to sit in that seat!

Xiao Zheng stood up, smiled at them, and walked towards An Xin's soup kitchen.

There was no greeting, he walked directly towards the other woman who was giving porridge, "You can rest, I'll help you~"

Ruolin looked at Xiao Zheng, who was a talent, in a daze, and didn't react for a while.

Xiao Zheng saw that she didn't react, so he took the initiative to take the spoon in her hand and repeated the bowl by bowl to give porridge to the victims.

At this time, Xiao Chunzi also tied up the horse and ran over to help make porridge.

has been busy for more than an hour, and the number of victims receiving porridge has gradually decreased.

An Xin took the initiative to come over at this time, "Senior Brother Xiao, I'll take you to meet my master~"

"Okay" Xiao Zheng put down the spoon in his hand and followed An Xin to the meditation master.

"Master, this is Senior Brother Xiao Bufan Xiao I met on the road, and he took good care of his apprentices along the way." Then she introduced Master Jing to Xiao Zheng, "Senior Brother Xiao, this is my master Master Jing Jing~"

Xiao Zheng bowed and saluted, "The meditation master is too good, I often hear people mention that the head of the Emei faction is the heart of the Bodhisattva, and today I can see that it is really compassionate!" ”

The meditation master looked at Xiao Zheng too much, and couldn't see his depth, but he could see that his guard was a master, and nodded slightly, "Xiao Shaoxia is polite, I'm just doing my best~"

"The teacher is too humble, how many people can do such a 'small effort' when they see this scene?"

The meditation master shook his head and sighed, "Alas~ Now that the purchased grain has been exhausted, I'm afraid I can't afford to do it~"

An Xin looked at the master's appearance, and immediately went over and hugged her arm, "Master, have we run out of money and food?" ”

Jing Xin nodded helplessly.

An Xin saw what the master said, and stomped her feet remorsefully, "Oh, I came here and forgot to ask my father for silver, how is this good~"

The Emei faction was not rich in the first place, and the silver taels they carried with them were entangled back and forth when they went to participate in the martial arts conference, and now they have spent it for the soup kitchen, and they are powerless.

Xiao Zheng looked at their appearance, and knew that he had encountered a problem, so he waved his hand and called Xiao Chunzi over, "Take 10,000 taels of silver!" ”

Taking the silver ticket from Xiao Chunzi's hand, Xiao Zheng handed it to Mrs. Jingxin with both hands, "Mrs. Shi, this is a little bit of heart, please accept it!" ”

The meditation master was stunned for a moment, this person was so generous, and hurriedly refused, "What is this young man, this old body can't accept this money!" ”

Xiao Zheng saw that Master Jingxin refused to accept it, and knew that he had misunderstood what he meant, "Don't misunderstand, Mrs. Shi, this is the money donated to buy food, and it is for the soup kitchens of these refugees, please Mrs. Shi must accept it, let me do my best in the next place!" ”

Mrs. Shi looked at him seriously, not like he was making a show, but 10,000 taels was indeed a huge amount of money, and she didn't know whether she should accept it or not, she looked at An Xin, and saw what An Xin meant.

An Xin didn't expect Xiao Zheng to be so generous and kind-hearted, thinking about what he had done along the way, and suddenly had a good impression of him. took the silver ticket in Xiao Zheng's hand and handed it to Master Jingxin, "Master, since he has the heart for these victims, let's accept it, anyway, it's not for us to swallow it privately, right~"

The meditation master was too white, and she glanced at her, "You kid, you speak so unruly~"

Turning his head to look at Xiao Zheng who was smiling, "Then the old body will thank Xiao Shaoxia for these refugees, the old body's money has been exhausted, thanks to Lord Wu Feng of the Criminal Department for a few more days, it seems that the mountains and rivers are about to be exhausted, and now Xiao Shaoxia's generosity is really bright~"

"The teacher is too serious, and he is doing his best to do his best~"

An Xin looked at his humble appearance and gave him a playful look, "Okay, you can buy the granary in Jiayuan County with your modest strength~"

"Hehe~ Xiao Shaoxia is humble, you kid, you always speak so directly~ Xiao Shaoxia, don't be surprised~"

Xiao Zheng looked at An Xin with a smile, "Senior Sister An is fast talking, it's too late to like it, how can you see the strange~"

When An Xin heard Xiao Zheng's words, she blushed, and hurriedly turned her back and stopped looking at him.

Xiao Zheng also felt that what he said just now was a little ambiguous, and he didn't explain much, so he smiled awkwardly.

Master Jingjing didn't seem to hear what he said just now, "I don't know if Xiao Shaoxia came to Jiayuan County...?" ”

"Oh, I'm here to visit my cousin's house in Jiayuan~"

"Cousin?"

"Yes, I heard that Liangzhou was affected, and my father was not at ease, let me take a look~"

Master Jing nodded too, "In this case, this will not be too busy, Xiao Shaoxia can go to find his old relatives first, and then come here to help when he is free~"

Xiao Zheng saw that this meeting was indeed not too busy, and he was just about to go to the county town to find out the specific situation, so he bowed to Master Jingxin and An Xin, "Then go to visit my cousin first, and then come to help when it is settled~"

An Xin watched him go away, pursed his lips and didn't speak, and watched him walk a long way.

Jing Jing Shi looked at her appearance, but was a little worried, "Xin'er, Xiao Shaoxia is a good person, and he has a long spirit, but your identity..."

Hearing the master's words, An Xin's face instantly turned red to her neck, "Oops~ Master, what did you say?" I'm still young, but I didn't think about this mess. As he spoke, he had already run towards Ruolin, leaving only the meditation master there shaking her head and sighing.

How could the youngest daughter's thoughts be hidden from her?

This is also the reason why she has never wanted her apprentices to go down the mountain, there are too many temptations under the mountain, which will inevitably make them lose their minds and mess up their minds, which is not good for Emei's mental method.

However, blindly practicing and not seeing the chaos of the world will also make their mentality extremely fragile, which is also a taboo in practice.

After thinking about it again and again, I decided to take them down the mountain to see the chaos in this world, so that they could correct their mentality and condense their minds.

This disaster has really helped these disciples a lot, from the silent crying when they first saw the victims, to now they can face it calmly, which is a big step forward for their growth!

But now looking at An Xin's appearance, she knows that what she was worried about has happened.

They are all at the age of the first love, and they have not seen much of the opposite sex, so it is inevitable that they will have a good impression of excellent men. She does not forbid her apprentices to marry and have children, and as long as they are happy, she will bless them.

Her only fear was that if they were hurt emotionally, it would be a fatal blow. At worst, her temperament has changed dramatically, and at worst she is heartbroken, which is not what she wants to see.

But she can't stop it, fate itself is a wonderful thing, once entangled by it, it is a lifetime of bonding, cutting constantly, sorting out and messing, all kinds of flavors can only be experienced by herself.

Xiao Zheng entered the county seat, followed the place Gu Feng said, and walked towards Dongcheng.

After asking pedestrians, the two walked all the way to a mansion.

This mansion is a few points larger than his Linchi Courtyard, which shows that Gu Feng's family background was relatively solid before.

Came to the door and looked at the plaque above "Fang House".

This is supposed to be the plaque replaced by the person who bought his house.

Xiao Chunzi stepped forward and knocked on the door, but she didn't hear anyone answer, and she listened carefully, and she didn't hear anyone talking inside.

Xiao Zheng looked at the house in front of him suspiciously, was there no one inside? Since the plaque has been replaced, it should also be inhabited.

Just as he was thinking about it, the door of the neighbor's house on the left opened, and a child of seven or eight years old ran out of it, and the adults behind chased him out with a broom, shouting "Little rabbit, don't run, see that I don't break your legs!" ”

Xiao Zheng immediately stepped forward to greet him, "Sister-in-law, hello, may I ask if this was Gu Feng's home?" ”

The woman looked him up and down, "Are you?" ”

"Below is Gu Feng's distant cousin, I heard that there was a change in his family, so I came here to visit him!"

The woman didn't look like a bad person, and said that it was Gu Feng's cousin, and hurriedly pulled the child who stopped aside, "The matter of the Gu family is a long story, you better come into the house and let my family tell you." ”
