Chapter 103: Three days
The man didn't understand what she was muttering, and his movements slowed down, but he didn't stop.
"Whoever steals water must die!"
"Ahh Luo Wanwan was frightened by the scene in front of her, screamed and closed her eyes, not daring to look at it again.
Just when the little boy came out of his hands and was about to be thrown to the ground, Xiao Liu held the little boy in his arms and saved him.
Lin Yanxi was shocked at first, he couldn't gather any runes in his hands, and he didn't have time to react to anything else.
Fortunately, nothing happened to the little boy, but his eyes were red and he was also scared.
Why can't the rune be condensed? She calmed herself down first, tried again, but it still didn't work.
She looked at her palms, and her mind sank a little dazed.
Luo Wanwan was stunned when she saw her, thinking that she was frightened, so she hurriedly took out her purse and protected Lin Yanxi behind her and said, "How much silver? I will make amends for you for him."
The man looked at the purse she was holding in the palm of her hand, and said even more angrily: "A glass of water is a life, how much money do you say can buy a life!" Folks, tell me about it!"
Luo Wanwan was timid, and didn't even dare to look directly at the man in front of him with his eyes, the hand holding the purse trembled slightly, and the man grabbed it viciously and opened it to take a look.
Lin Yanxi reacted at this time, and was busy stopping it, "Evening, no."
She was a step slower after all, and the man opened the purse, and inside it were broken pieces of silver of various sizes, and a small piece of gold leaf.
Lin Yanxi gave Xiao Liu a look and motioned for him to take Luo Wanwan to the side to evacuate.
These displaced victims are starved and clothed, and the silver is undoubtedly the hope of survival for them.
For the sake of this way of life, these people may not know what to do.
Xiao Liu slowly moved to the side with Wanwan, trying not to attract the attention of these people.
The man took out the gold leaf and shone it in the sun, and the gold shone with an alluring sheen.
The refugees, who had little energy, saw the gold leaves in the purse, their eyes lit up, and their eyes were fixed on the purse, revealing a greedy face.
The man took the gold leaf in his hand, and scattered the rest of the broken silver on the ground.
The refugees threw themselves on the ground and scrambled like crazy.
Xiao Liu protected the two of them and kept retreating, but I don't know who shouted: "That woman has silver, stop them!"
Luo Wanwan immediately felt that someone was tugging at her sleeve, "Help! Ahh
"Don't pull me, help, help."
Fortunately, Lin Yanxi brought the long dagger given by Shen Muzhou, and before the scabbard was unsheathed, he could barely block those refugees, and took Luo Wanwan back a few steps.
Wanwan followed her and sobbed quietly, and the two looked very embarrassed.
The refugee shack was in a state of confusion, with some fighting for the money on the ground and others trying to block their way.
Just when they were helpless, a small group of officers and soldiers poured into the refugee shed to maintain order, and the scene was quickly stabilized, and a road was cleared in the middle.
"The Lord of Chaoyang has arrived—"
Luo Jingxin wore a white dress, otherwise she was dusty, there was no exaggerated and gorgeous pearl hairpin gold ornaments on her head, and her inky black hair like a waterfall was tied in a bun at will, and the hair poured down from the top of her head, swaying slightly with her white dress.
She was holy and gentle, as if she had come to overcome the misery of the world.
As soon as the victims saw her, they all fell to their knees and fell silent.
She walked generously in front of Lin Yanxi, and when she saw Luo Wanwan, she paused slightly, and said gently, "Didn't scare you, did you?"
Luo Wanwan hung her head and whispered to her, "Long ...... Eldest sister."
Behind Luo Jingxin were two men with lofty spirits, Shen Muzhou and Shen Yu.
Shen Yu saw Luo Wanwan and asked, "Why are you here?"
Luo Wanwan was speechless, she was ashamed.
Lin Yanxi said bluntly, "I brought her here."
Luo Jingxin asked, "This is happening
What?"
Xiao Liu looked at Shen Muzhou, and he motioned for Xiao Liu to tell the truth of the matter.
After listening to Xiao Liu's explanation of the cause of the incident, Luo Jingxin said softly: "Everyone get up quickly, the current situation is difficult and people's hearts are turbulent, it is understandable, this is not anyone's fault, nor is it the fault of the "thief" person, it is the ruthlessness of the sky that has forced people into a desperate situation."
"But today you have earned your heads and blood for the scattered silver, but you cannot change the situation, and where will you go with the money? Go home? In the face of drought, there is only one home, and that is Nam Min."
"Nan Min has never given up on anyone, the premise is that we can't lose our bottom line, and only by persevering together can we get through this catastrophe."
The impetuous hearts of the people were appeased a little, and there were many opposing voices.
"How long? I can't hold on anymore!"
"yes, this refugee shed doesn't have anything to do, it's impossible to survive."
Lin Yanxi noticed that she had proposed before to mobilize businessmen to raise donations, and those who ranked in the top three in the amount of donations could put up flags on the shed.
In front of these sheds, there is only one flag, which is the Wang family of the merchant family.
In the face of the people's questioning, Luo Jingxin, who was talking eloquently, was silent, what else could she do?
These businessmen were not willing to contribute at all, just this one Wang family, she asked Shen Yusheng to pull it in.
The Wang family was quite prestigious among the merchants a few years ago, but these years are not as good as before, and no one knows what will happen in the future, how dare they donate any silver to it?
It's just a perfunctory donation of some scene silver for Shen Yu's face.
Luo Jingxin's face was a little stiff, obviously unconfident, "We, we will solve it slowly, you have to believe Nan Min."
"By the time you settle it, we'll starve to death!"
"yes, don't prevaricate us with these nice words!"
Under such circumstances, the people also became very sensitive and fragile, and they saw through Luo Jingxin's prevarication at once.
Some complaints broke out again in the crowd, and everyone's emotions became more and more excited, and the officers and soldiers were about to lose control.
Shen Muzhou walked up to Lin Yanxi and said, "I'll take you away first."
Lin Yanxi didn't go out with him, he stood there fixedly, and whispered, "Three days."
"What?" He asked.
Her voice was louder, "Three days! Give me three days."
The people around them fell silent, and their eyes fell on her.
"Give me three days, and I'll promise to improve the refugee shelters until you can rebuild your homes after the disaster."
Lin Yanxi's eyes are bright and clear, giving people a very sincere and enthusiastic feeling, she looks much more childish than Luo Jingxin, the little girl is delicate and soft and not aggressive, which makes people feel very comfortable.
Inexplicably, there will be a sense of trust in her.
The people didn't say anything, Luo Jingxin made a mistake first, "Yan Xi, now is not the time for you to be in the limelight, do you know that there is no longer more silver in the treasury to support this? Those well-known businessmen are friends with my father, and even then there are very few who are willing to help."
As soon as these words came out, the refugee shed immediately exploded.
"What? Your Majesty doesn't want to take care of us anymore?"
"It's a plot to get us out of town."
The more the people talked, the more excited they became, and they began to organize a rush into the city, and they were not willing to stay outside the city anymore.
Luo Jingxin looked at this scene, his eyebrows stretched, and he pressed a touch of pride.
Seeing that the conflict between the people and the officers and soldiers was getting bigger and bigger, and even Shen Muzhou was a little uncontrollable, Lin Yanxi stood on a small stone and shouted, "Listen to me."
Her voice was so low that it was overshadowed by layers of arguing.
Shen Muzhou directly grabbed the man who took the gold leaf just now, and said coldly, "Let them all be quiet."
The man wanted to struggle, but Shen Muzhou's subordinates used some strength, and the man bit painfully
Gritting his teeth, he shouted, "All quiet, stop arguing, all be quiet!"
He is tall and big, and he is much more effective in speaking among refugees than in the government like them.
Nam Min was silent for a moment, and her eyes were once again cast on the little girl standing on the stone.
Lin Yanxi looked at Shen Muzhou, and he nodded slightly at her.
Her eyes lit up and she said, "It will only take three days, and if everything in the refugee shelter is not improved in three days, it will not be too late for you to enter the city again."
Shen Muzhou's gaze swept lightly over everyone and said, "The woman standing in front of you is the concubine of the Taifu Mansion, and she has a marriage contract with me, and the refugee shed was proposed by her, with the promise of the Taifu Mansion and this king, what else are you worried about?"
The eyes of everyone looking at Lin Yanxi changed, and they softened a little, not as angry as they were just now.
"I, I believe in this sister." The little boy who had just been rescued opened his mouth.
"Okay, just three days, and we'll believe it."
The people chimed in, and their tones eased considerably.
Luo Jingxin stood at the end and watched this scene without a smile on his face, but the focus of the entire refugee shed was on Lin Yanxi, except for Shen Yu, no one paid attention to her emotional changes.
She silently left the refugee shed, Shen Yu followed her, walked a little farther and walked forward quickly, "Heart...... Lord Chaoyang, angry?"
Luo Jingxin stood still and looked at him angrily.
Shen Yu smiled and said, "Oh, don't be angry, only our Chaoyang County Lord is the kind and beautiful fairy sister who came down to save us mortals."
Luo Jingxin was amused by his words, and when he looked at Lin Yanxi, who was surrounded by everyone in the shed, his expression became dull again.
"Don't talk to me."
She took a few steps forward, and Shen Yu was still following behind her unhurriedly, and after taking two steps, she stopped and frowned and said, "Don't follow me."
Shen Yu pulled down the strands of hair that hung down on both sides of her cheeks, and as soon as she touched the edge of the hair, Luo Jingxin dodged it.
He said, "Do you remember, when you were a child, you were angry, and I followed you like this to coax you, and every time you would tell me to stop following you."
Luo Jingxin glared at him and said, "I don't remember."
Shen Yu shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "I just remember."
"Okay, leave the things here at the refugee shed to Lin Yanxi, isn't it good, you are still happy, be happy."
Luo Jingxin looked at the refugee shed in the distance, her eyes became a little feminine, and she asked, "You really want me to be happy?"
Shen Yu said, "Naturally."
She smiled: "Then you can help me introduce the second master of the Wang family."
Shen Yu saw that she was in a better mood, and his mood also improved inexplicably, and he said proudly: "This is simple, the eldest son of the Wang family is my best friend."
Luo Jingxin snorted silently, who didn't know that the eldest son of the Wang family was a famous gentleman in the capital.
This time, I have to let Lin Yanxi not be able to do this, depending on how she ends, it is best to put the entire Taifu Mansion into it, so that she can steal her limelight in the future.
