Chapter 311: River Workers

If he hadn't heard the news on the road that something had happened to the river worker, Lu Yangge wouldn't have made such a trip.

Just three days ago, in Nanyang, a group of river workers ate moldy food and vomited and diarrhea.

It might have been better if he had been sent to the hospital in time, but the people who were in charge of the river workers not only ignored him, but forbade him to make a lot of noise, and I heard that he had used a whip.

That night, more than a dozen river workers fell unconscious.

On the second day, when the errand person found out that something was wrong and came to the doctor again, it was too late.

Four or five of the dozen or so river workers who had been in a coma the night before had lost their breath, and despite the doctor's best efforts to save them, the last group of river workers to fall has so far died a dozen or so, and dozens more are still out of danger.

This time, the moldy grain caused nearly 100 people in a village to be injured to varying degrees.

And these errand masters, in order to avoid responsibility, actually wanted to send these conscripts back to the village, so that they could be sent back to continue their conscription.

"Are you saying that they only found a doctor, boiled the decoction twice, and didn't care?"

Dong Solstice bit his lip and nodded with difficulty: "Yes, I also heard that there seem to be dozens of people who are very sick, and now they have barely stopped diarrhea after taking medicine, but their bodies have not recovered yet...... Or will die. ”

He was poor since he was a child, he did not have enough food and clothing, and he suffered a lot.

It is precisely because of his own suffering that he can empathize more and more with these people.

The Nanyang section of the river embankment is not far from them, it is only ten miles away, the news is tightly hidden, everyone only vaguely hears about it, as for more, everyone has different opinions, and most people don't know much.

The reason why the winter solstice is clear is because he talked to the officers and soldiers who sent food, and because he was a servant and others did not defend him, so he said more.

"Bastard."

Lu Yangge didn't speak, but he couldn't listen to the Zhixue on the side.

Winter Solstice's eyebrows jumped, and he looked at the whip in Zhixue's hand and subconsciously gave way to the side.

Now Xiao Si is so cruel, and the little guys he carries are all with knives and whips.

Although he was a little jealous of the snow on the winter solstice, he still didn't forget to tell Lu Yangge: "Little Si, you can't control this matter, don't start a fire when the time comes." ”

Lu Yangge pursed his lips and suppressed the anger in his heart: "It's okay, I have a number." ”

Waiting for Lu Yangge to lead the snow back to the carriage, the winter solstice stood on the embankment for a long time.

He felt that Xiao Si seemed to have changed, but he couldn't tell where he had changed, and the previous Xiao Si was not quite the same as them, but now Xiao Si has an indescribable feeling.

Anyway, it's getting better and better, and it's getting more and more powerful.

Watching Xiao Si's carriage go in the direction of the Nanyang section of the river embankment, Dong Solstice slapped his head suddenly, pulled his legs and ran back.

It seems that Xiao Si must have gone to the embankment where the accident occurred, why hasn't he changed his nosy temperament since he was a child!

Although he didn't want to cause trouble on the winter solstice, he couldn't watch him go into trouble because of his love affair with Xiao Si.

Let's take a leave of absence and take a look, if anything......

If there is really something, his dogskin as a servant may come in handy.

It's a big deal, it's a big deal, he took off this dog skin and went home to farm.

Lu Yangge didn't stop when he got into the carriage, and went directly to the embankment of the Nanyang section with people.

During this period, the driver was replaced by Zhexue, and Chunhua rode a horse and didn't know where to go.

The embankment can't be driven, so you have to make a detour from below, and when you reach the Nanyang section of the embankment, it's already the middle of the day for lunch.

In the previous dynasty, the servants did not provide food, but brought food from their homes, and each place sent people to take turns cooking.

The Great Shang Dynasty served as a servant but provided two meals, two meals in the morning and two meals in the morning, porridge and dry buns in the morning, and dry rice and hot dishes at noon.

Just for these two meals, serving as a conscription has become less arduous.

The grain was distributed once every three days, according to the head.

When you meet an errand person, you don't replace food, you don't be greedy, and it's no problem for everyone to eat two full meals. If you meet someone who is a little greedy, you can be greedy and half-full, which is not bad.

What I am most afraid of is that I am too greedy, not only will I not be able to eat, but I will also replace the grain sent down from above with something worse, like this moldy food, which is replaced by people to eat the problem.

The grain is all allocated by the county, and although it is old grain, it is two years of old grain, and it will not last long.

As for the occurrence of grain mildew, it is only possible that the grain will be at least three years or even more than four years old.

Lu Yangge thought about things all the way, and when she reached the embankment, she still led the snow, and the two of them walked on the embankment.

Everywhere along the embankment was busy making food, and there were long queues of people waiting to eat.

Only one of the shacks was not many people, not only were there not many, but even among the dozens of people in line, many of them were pale, and they were standing as if they were seriously ill.

Lu Yangge walked over and asked in a local accent, "Are you from Zhangpu Village?" ”

One of the young men, who was in good spirits, accosted him and asked, "yes, who are you looking for?" ”

"Find my cousin." Lu Yangge frowned and thought, "My cousin's surname is Zhang, and he is from the Zhang group, my grandmother said that my cousin's name is Erzhu or what kind of pillar, I forgot." I heard that the Shangzhang group was digging the river embankment here, and my grandmother was worried about my mother's family, so I asked me to ask. ”

The name of the pillar is, not to mention the Shangzhang group, just stand here and shout, at least a dozen people have to agree.

"Zhang Erzhuzi?"

Before the young man could speak, an older one in front of the young man answered, "We don't have a foreign surname in the last Zhang group, there are only three old ones called two pillars, and there are at least seven or eight pillars called pillars, which pillar are you looking for?" ”

"Ah, so many?"

Lu Yangge's eyes widened, and he looked at a loss, "Then what should I do, I have to go back and ask my grandmother?" It's that the old man is old, and his ear memory is not good, and he nagged that he had lived for a few years, and he had to go to his mother's family, saying that his mother's family couldn't find it, and how to bury his mother's family if he didn't come to bury it! ”

When the older people heard this, their hearts softened, and in the past few decades, there are few relatives outside.

"What's your grandmother's name, I'll go back and help you inquire."

"My grandmother's name is Zhang Erya, and her big name is Zhang Hongying, but my grandfather took the big name, and I guess no one knows. For more than 50 years, my grandmother ran out with her family to beg for food, and was later sold to my father as a child, adopter, and daughter-in-law, and never returned home for decades. I asked someone before, saying that most of the family was gone, and when my father was alive, I asked a lot of people to inquire, and I knew that my cousin was still alive, but before my father took my grandmother to find my mother's family, my father died, and then my family moved to the capital, this time I went back to my hometown to worship my ancestors, and I just heard that ......"

"Hey, who are you, who let you come?"

Lu Yangge was trying to remember, when he saw a man in an official's robe coming over menacingly, and he began to shout from a distance.

"Idlers and others are not allowed to enter or leave here, who let you come?"
