Chapter 124: The second brother came back early
Some of these people are easy to persuade, and some are difficult to persuade, but they will listen to Wei Ruo's words to some extent.
They knew that it was Wei Ruo who advocated the distribution of land to them, so that they could have new land to cultivate, and they could receive relief food from the government every day, giving them hope for life.
So Wei Ruo's words had a lot of influence on them.
After an hour, most of the peasants had been persuaded to leave, and the most remote family remained.
Wei Ruo saw that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, so he asked the master to take people away first:
"Master Chen, you first take the officials to escort these people into the city, I will go to the last family, we have a carriage, and after taking that family, we will catch up with the carriage together."
"No, my lord asked me to take care of Miss Wei, I can't just leave Miss Wei like this!" Master Chen didn't dare to leave Wei Ruo like this.
"It's not early, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, the weather is getting colder and colder, and if you go on like this, you can't bear it anymore, you go back first, and if you don't worry, you will leave a servant for me." Wei Ruodao.
After pondering for a while, Master Chen agreed to Wei Ruo's proposal: "Okay, I'll leave a servant for you." ”
Then Master Chen led everyone to the city first.
Wei Ruo took Xiumei and a servant to the farthest place.
The three of them wore robes and walked on the muddy ridges.
The paddy fields are filled with water, but the rain is still falling.
"Miss, I'll carry you on my back." Xiumei said distressedly.
"It's okay, although I don't know martial arts, my body is not so bad, so this little road can't make it difficult for me." Wei Ruo refused.
Wei Ruo just has no martial arts, but he lives in the countryside all the year round, farming in the fields, and collecting medicine in the mountains, and his physique is much better than that of ordinary ladies in the boudoir.
The last house was behind the hill in front.
There is a good flat land behind it, and the original condition of the land is better than that of other places, and it is less difficult to improve.
But it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the distance is relatively long. On weekdays, there is no problem, and the rice seeds and fertilizers are delivered by people from the government. Today is a little more troublesome.
Wei Ruo and the three of them came to the last house, where the simple thatched hut was crumbling in the wind and rain.
A woman in the house was carrying a child of three or four years old in her arms.
Seeing Wei Ruo come in, the woman seemed to see a glimmer of light, and asked for help: "Save my child, save my child!" ”
Wei Ruo stepped forward and reached out and touched the forehead of the child in her arms, it was hot.
Wei Ruo touched the brocade bag he was carrying, took out a white bottle from it, poured out a pill, and then looked around for a bowl and water.
There was only one bowl that was missing, but there was no hot water.
Wei Ruo had no choice but to hand the pill to the child's mother: "You chew this medicine and feed it into the child's mouth." ”
The woman hastened to do so.
Then Wei Ruo said: "Let's leave here first, and then we will treat her well when we get to a safe place." ”
It was cold and damp here, and there was no condition for treatment and cultivation at all, so Wei Ruo could only give the child medicine first to properly alleviate his symptoms.
"Good, good!" The woman nodded.
"Hold the baby for me." Xiumei stepped forward to help the woman carry the child.
Untie the robe and hide the child in your own robe.
Wei Ruo took off his cloak and put it on for the woman.
Seeing this, the official next to him hurriedly gave his robe to Wei Ruo: "Miss Wei can't do it." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up, you won't be able to go if the water rises again."
Wei Ruo interrupted the servant and walked back quickly.
The official hurriedly took off his coat and stuffed it into Wei Ruo's hand, he didn't dare to touch Wei Ruo, he only dared to throw it to Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo saw that he was very sincere, so he took the hat: "You wear clothes, I am not big, this hat is enough to block most of the rain for me." Stop talking nonsense, nonsense delays. ”
Wei Ruo didn't give this official a chance to continue the ink.
Put on your hat and rush out.
As soon as I came out of the house, the road was completely flooded, like a swamp.
The soil in the rice paddies is silt, and if you step on it, you will sink in, and only the part that was originally a ridge is slightly better.
Wei Ruo told a few people to be extra careful.
Several people walked with difficulty, moved slowly, and watched the water rise higher and higher......
At this time, two figures appeared in the distance, because they were wearing robes, and they didn't know who they were for a while.
Wei Ruo looked at the person who came and felt a little familiar.
And one of them also walked straight up to her, raised his hat, and Wei Ruo could see his face clearly.
"Second brother?"
The people who came turned out to be Wei Jinyi and Xiaobei, who had not been seen for a long time.
Wei Jin didn't answer, and glanced down at Wei Ruo's feet, the cold rain had already reached her ankles.
"I'll hold you."
Wei Jin also finished speaking, and hugged Wei Ruoheng without waiting for Wei Ruo to respond.
"Second brother, no, I can walk by myself, I'm not that weak."
Wei Jin didn't answer Wei Ruo, but said to the others: "Hurry up." ”
Xiaobei, who followed Wei Jinyi, didn't say a word and carried the woman on his back.
At this moment, life is at stake, and no one will care about the defense of men and women.
Wei Jinyi's footsteps were much faster than Wei Ruo's, and he could still step on the muddy rice fields as if he were walking on the ground.
Wei Ruo was a little overwhelmed, this experience of being carried away was the first time, she raised her head and saw Wei Jinyi's chin and neck.
Even from this angle, I think he is so good-looking, but his expression is a little cold, as if there are four big words written: Don't enter the living.
After a while, Wei Jin also carried Wei Ruo to the carriage they parked on the official road.
Xiaobei, Xiumei, and the officials in the back also arrived.
Wei Ruo, Xiumei, the woman and the little girl all got into the car, Xiaobei and the official drove, and Wei Jin also rode a horse.
In the car, Wei Ruo took care of the little girl and learned about the situation of the mother and daughter from the woman.
The woman's husband, a soldier fighting against the Japanese invaders, died in battle, and since there were no men in the family, relatives drove the mother and daughter out of the house and seized the land that belonged to them.
The woman had to take her daughter to beg on the streets, and it was only because of Wei Ruo's suggestion that they were able to follow the other homeless people to settle in the south of the city.
When the land was first divided, the others gave them this piece of land that was less salinized and improved with much less effort because they were afraid that she would not be able to work, so they took care of the woman.
Although they are far away on weekdays, there are kind uncles and aunts who send them daily necessities every day. Who wants to encounter today's situation, resulting in the mother and daughter becoming the last to go.
The carriage hurried back to the city, came to the county office, and settled the woman and the little girl in the warehouse vacated by the yamen.
The warehouse is not very large, and when you enter the gate, there are rows of bedding on the ground on both sides, and all the people who were brought here are arranged here.
Some people have fewer people and sleep in one bunk as a family, and those with more people sleep in two bunks as a family.
