I don't know what was written on the Hu people's letter, Gu Rin rode a horse and hurriedly left in the direction of the Shang Gang, and Pei Yun would not stay in front of the county mansion for a long time, so he also returned to the inn.

Several carriages were parked in front of the inn, and Pei Yungui saw five or six fat men carrying something from the carriage to the inn from a distance.

Pei Yungui stepped forward, thinking that the prince's reinforcements had arrived, Qixin asked, and suddenly caught a glimpse of an acquaintance's face.

That person was also the commander of the guards beside Gu Rin, named Zhao'an, who often patrolled her house with Eleven when she was in the capital, and she would often make some food and entertainment to show her gratitude, and over time, she became acquainted with them.

Zhao'an also saw Pei Yungui and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

Pei Yungui asked, "Why is there so much more food, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has entered the town?"

"Not yet." Zhao'an explained: "The rice and grain on the cart were all scavenged from Yao Chen's treasury, and the general ordered that from today onwards, three meals a day should be distributed to the people of You County, and these things brought into the inn were prepared for the food distribution at noon."

The restaurants in You County are closed, and the restaurants in You County are closed, and the ones that are closed down, only this inn is still barely operating in the wind and rain.

Gu Rin paid out of his own pocket, promised the shopkeeper, and requisitioned their family's cook and kitchen as a reward of three hundred taels of silver, and gave food to the people of You County in the future.

The shopkeeper's business has been bleak for more than a few months, and he can't make ends meet, and when he heard that Gu Rin's cooperation can not only do good things for the people of You County, but also earn such a generous reward, he happily responded.

As soon as the two sides made a final decision, within half an hour, Yao Chen's rice library was emptied, and all the grain in it was transported to the inn.

When Pei Yungui heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly became energetic.

When she came here, she didn't know how to heal, and she didn't know how to martial arts, and she was worried that she would eat white rice all day long, and she wouldn't be able to help anything, causing trouble for the prince and others.

Now that she has started to distribute food, won't she come where she can come in!

In order to fully show his usefulness, Pei Yungui didn't say a word, helped the guards transport things into the inn, and followed the innkeeper's butt into the kitchen.

Yao Chen's warehouse had too much stock, and it filled half of the kitchen.

Most of the people in You County are sick, and almost all of the little two who used to work in the inn are sick in bed, and only the cook and shopkeeper are left in the huge shop.

The two of them work together, and it is still a little difficult to manage the thousands of mouths in You County.

There was no one talking in the kitchen, and they all seized the time and silently opened the bag to wash rice and make porridge.

Among the grains sent by Zhao'an, there are not only staple foods such as flour and rice, but also a lot of fruits, vegetables and meat.

Pei Yungui thought about it, his hands and feet were quick, he took out the side dishes and washed them and cut them into cubes, preparing to add a little spice to the bland white rice porridge.

The cook saw that the girl who had been honestly helping had opened another bag of things, and wanted to scold, but after seeing Pei Yungui's neat figure, he swallowed the words in his mouth again, and turned to beat her silently.

The white rice and water are indeed monotonous, the people are sick, and they haven't eaten for several months, and adding something to the porridge can also replenish the body.

Mo You's busy for an hour and a half took out the rice porridge from the four soup kitchens, and then loaded it into the carriage, and You Zhaoan sent someone to escort Pei Yungui and the others to the corresponding place.

Pei Yun returned to the south city to distribute porridge, and the cook, the shopkeeper and another guard divided into three routes, going to the eastern, western, and northern cities respectively.

Although Yao Chen has been caught in ambush, what You County lacks most now is a doctor, and if he can't cure the disease, he will never be able to go out and float in the haze above.

There were only a few people in Nanshi, who were described as withered, unclothed, and their faces were scattered with a dead gray color, all of them were old people and thin children.

Perhaps there are fewer young people, which makes it look even more desolate compared to the other three cities.

There was an old man lying on his back on the steps, his face glancing to the side, his hair like withered grass, his limbs like bamboo poles, his chapped lips half open, and a low moan.

There are even more children huddled together in twos and threes, their bodies thin and thin, like frightened beasts, staring at the surroundings vigilantly.

Minami City Lie

There were dozens of people, but none of them spoke.

A grave-like dead silence enveloped it, and a well-thought-out suffocating sensation seemed to engulf people.

Pei Yungui looked at Xiao Ran and silently hid the grief in his eyes.

Although the Great Qi country is prosperous and politically enlightened, it still harbors a vicious tumor like Yao Chen, strangling the common people all day long.

In the past, she always complained about her difficult situation, until she left the prosperous place of smoke and willows in the capital and witnessed the suffering of the people, and realized what is more than the green mountains.

There are countless people who have crawled around to stay alive, and the little grievances she has suffered are not even as good as others, and she has nothing to complain about.

Pei Yungui was suddenly glad that he followed the team out of the capital with the rush to help, and witnessed the wider and more cruel world outside the high-walled mansion.

After gathering her thoughts, she immediately ordered Zhao'an to stop the horse, chose an open area, and the two worked together to move the grain in the car.

"These people in Nanshi are either beggars who lived on the streets before the outbreak of the plague, or orphans who have lost their relatives and live on the streets." Zhao An looked at the people on the ground, who didn't know life and death, his cold eyebrows and eyes softened, not only with some pity, "They have no one to take care of, and they have no money to treat their diseases, most of them can only lie on the street and wait for death."

Pei Yungui didn't answer, only lowered his head and quickly took out the bowl and spoon.

Even if Zhao'an didn't explain, she guessed some zero corners.

The most crowded times in the market are early in the morning and late at night.

Early morning is the time when Yao Chen was scheduled to distribute porridge, and late at night is the time when people avoid the crowd for consultation, and only during these two periods, people will gather in the streets and alleys of the dead city.

It's noon, and ordinary people are either in the hospital or at home, and the people on the street are basically homeless.

In this sudden plague, the biggest victims are these people.

Pei Yungui laid out the dishes and chopsticks, and a new idea appeared in his heart.

Perhaps a shelter could be built to take in such people, and the shelter could be divided into two wards and non-wards.

Those who are sick are treated in the ward.

If they are healthy, they will do rough work such as decoction and cooking, and then the government will pay them.

First, it can play a role in rescue, and second, it can also solve the current problem of shortage of manpower in You County, which can be described as the best of both worlds.

Pei Yungui quietly hid this idea in his heart, and was ready to find an opportunity to discuss it with Gu Rin.

She scooped out the rice porridge one by one, and the sweet fragrance immediately filled the entire market.

Although the stench of vomit filled the air, the refreshing scent of the stench still reached the noses and mouths of the people lying in the market.

Finally someone moved, and opened their lifeless eyes.

Slightly stimulated by the dazzling gaze, the sloppy gaze focused again, and accurately locked on Pei Yungui.

They did not eat all day, but they vomited tirelessly, and their bodies were gradually hollowed out, leaving only a shell.

The strength in his body is exhausted, and he eats one step away, but he can't do anything, and can only interpret his desire with a yearning gaze to show that he is still alive.

Tattered children snuggled up together, their eyes shining with timidity, but they all craned their necks to watch.

It's been a few days, and I haven't smelled the smell of food.

Even if the government sent porridge in the past, it would not be their turn, and even if they were lucky enough to grab a bite, it was just a bowl of bland and tasteless white water with a few grains of rice floating in it.

Most of the people in Nanshi have given up hope of life, and both children and old people have found a slightly clean corner, lying down on their feet, their eyes closed, and quietly waiting for Hades to come and harvest their lives.

When did you ever think about sweet porridge and good food?

I don't know if it's a dream or not, if it's a dream, don't wake up, sleep and die, it's also a blessing.

Pei Yungui brought a few bowls to them and said softly, "Eat slowly, the imperial court reinforcements are coming, you don't have to suffer anymore."

The sweet taste that was still vague suddenly filled the tip of their noses, and their dead eyes finally lit up.

Someone stretched out their hands like withered branches and took the rice porridge, and the warm touch of their palms made them feel the urge to shed tears in an instant.

"Thank you, girl."

"Thank you."

"Benefactor, life-saving benefactor."

Everyone held the sweet porridge and finally showed a sincere smile, they looked at the porridge in their hands as if it were a treasure, and expressed their gratitude in a hoarse voice.

Everything in front of me is like a cloud dream, and the faint sweet fragrance in the mouth makes people feel both dreamy and real.

Pei Yungui wiped the sweat from his forehead, and couldn't help but bend his eyebrows, and the depression in his heart was swept away, leaving only a thick sense of pleasure and satisfaction.

Zhao'an also held the rice porridge and brought it to a few children nested in the distance.

He swept away the battle-hardened aura around him and cautiously approached the children.

The child swallowed his saliva, stared at the dark eyes, timidly took the hot porridge, took a sip carefully, and showed a smile like the morning sun on his cat-like face.

Pei Yungui watched from afar, only to feel happy and sad.

She went over and touched the children's hairy heads, her eyes falling on their wrists as thin as bamboo poles, and a sudden fine pain in her heart sparked.

"Eat slowly." She said softly, "Sister, there are still a lot of them, and I'll go to Sheng after eating."

Zhizimen raised his head and looked at Pei Yungui with dark eyes.

The warm feeling of fullness in their stomachs made them let their guard down, and they grinned, and their childish voices suddenly spread through the air.

"Thank you, sister." A little girl blinked.

The crowd made a start, and the children were at the age of talking, so they chattered around Pei Yungui as if they had opened a chatterbox.

"My sister's porridge is so delicious!"

"My mother said that the people who give porridge are all immortals, and my sister is also a god in the sky?"

"My sister is so good-looking!"

"Good-looking people are immortals, and my sister must be immortals!"
