Liu Yong and Yu Hui returned to Nanxun.

I haven't seen her daughter for a few days, but Yuhui misses her a little, and she specially brought them a lot of delicious and fun food from Shanghai.

Seeing Liu Yong and Yuhui returning home, Hong Ying came out with Dongmei and Qiumei. Hong Ying said: Baby, hurry up, Mom and Dad are back, let's go and see.

Seeing Dongmei coming over first, Yuhui picked up Dongmei and said, "Baby, let my mother take a good look." Then he said: Baby, we are going to be Shanghainese, are you happy?

Dongmei pouted and said: I don't want to be a Shanghainese, I want to be with my aunt. So, he insisted on getting off Yuhui and leaning on Hong Ying. took Qiumei from Yuhui's hand again, and Qiumei didn't want her mother to hug her. made Yuhui and Liu Yong, who was standing aside, both shook their heads, looking helpless.

At this time, Sister-in-law Zhen in the "aid station" came in a hurry.

When Liu Yong saw Sister-in-law Zhen walking profusely, he went up and asked: Sister-in-law Zhen, seeing that you are so anxious, what is the matter, is there a shortage of funds?

Sister-in-law Zhen said embarrassedly: Oh, the owner, I know that you are very busy, so I really shouldn't come to disturb you. There is no shortage of funds in the station, and a few days ago, a few more families sent silver and two Wu to manage the accounts, and they also remember it clearly. It's just that there are a lot of people who have fled these days, and I and Huiying and Mr. Wu sometimes help when the refugees are full, but they are still too busy. Besides, the place is also small, and a few of us really have no choice but to come to you and beg you to think of a way.

As soon as Liu Yong heard it: Oh, that's it. Go, and I'll go with you to see it.

In Nanxun Town, people with children and daughters can be seen everywhere fleeing with bedding on their backs.

Liu Yong went to the "aid station" with his sister-in-law.

When he arrived at the "aid station", Liu Yong looked stupid. At the door of the 'aid station', there is a big iron pot, Huiying and Mr. Wu are boiling porridge, busy and sweating, outside the 'aid station', there are many ragged men, women and children lying on the ground, what should I do if it rains? Inside the 'aid station' lay several sick men, women and children.

Liu Yong saw it, felt sad for a while, and wiped his tears with his hands. Said to Sister-in-law Zhen: Don't worry, I will take measures immediately.

So, Liu Yong said goodbye to his sister-in-law, hurried back to the town, and sent someone to call Wang Baohe immediately.

Liu Yong said to Wang Baohe: You immediately find a few people, there is a vacant lot next to the "aid station", and build a shed on it, so that the people who have fled can have a resting place when it is windy and rainy; Cooking rice is also in it, and eating is also in it. In addition, find three more people to help the "aid station" take care of it.

In the evening of the same day, the "Aid Station" Foundation held a special meeting on the site of the "Aid Station". All the members of the foundation arrived, and even Gu Fuchang came with lanterns, which attracted a lot of onlookers.

Liu Yong pointed to the ragged crowd on the side of the road and said affectionately to everyone: Thank you, it's so late to come to the scene of the "aid station", especially Father-in-law Gu, who is already old and frail, and also came. After witnessing these brothers and sisters and seeing their suffering, can we still sleep? They are our compatriots, melons on a vine, and if they are in trouble, we ourselves are in trouble. is still an old saying, "everyone adds firewood and the flame is high", everyone in our Nanxun town eats less, and the people in the "aid station" here will not starve; Save an inch of cloth per person, and the people here will not be frozen in winter. Please everyone, the extra quilts and clothes at home are donated here, I Liu Yong thank you, thank you to all the fathers and villagers in Nanxun. Plopped, knelt on the ground, and waved his hands at everyone.

Someone helped Liu Yong up.

The atmosphere was touching.

Gu Fuchang also said with tears in his eyes: Everyone, fellow villagers, those refugees in front of us, they left their hometown to Nanxun, and now, Nanxun is their home. If a refugee starves to death and freezes to death in Nanxun, it will be a misfortune for us Nanxun and a shame for us Nanxun. Of course, birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable, and in the future, if there are refugees who are born, old, sick and die, we must respect them as if we were burying our own relatives.

Boom. A group of refugees all knelt on the ground and kowtowed. Say in unison: Nanxun people are life-saving Bodhisattvas, thank you for saving your life.

Many onlookers lifted up the refugees kneeling there one by one, and Wang Baohe came to the "aid station" early the next day. Soon, many local people came, and they all volunteered to help build tents in the open space next to the "aid station". Refugees who are able to work also come to help.

Soon, some of the people in the neighborhood were holding quilts and some clothes; Some people carrying rice, oil, and money all came to the "aid station". was so busy that Manager Wu didn't have time to register.

Some of them put the things they had brought from home to the "aid station" and left, saying in their mouths: What else do you want to register, but you feel embarrassed when you register.

The local people brought so many things at once, but they were in a hurry, and there were so many things, there was no place to put them.

Wang Baohe came over and said to Sister-in-law Zhen: In this way, the shed should be built bigger, and one room should be left as a warehouse to store things. In addition, I would like to inform everyone that I will not send anything for the time being, and that I will let you know when I need it.

Sister-in-law Zhen said: The people in Nanxun Town are so nice. Now I can only do as you say.

In the past few days, more and more people have fled from the north. Some dragged their children and daughters, some families of all ages, the road can be seen everywhere fleeing crowds, I heard that there is a "aid station" in Nanxun, therefore, many people get the news, all go to Nanxun to come, but also make the "aid station" overwhelmed.

Some of the people who fled were natural disasters and some were man-made disasters.

I heard from the refugees: There are a lot of "spears" (in fact, the Taiping Army) from their hometown, they all have red eyebrows, green eyes, and big knives and spears in their hands. When they got there, they burned, killed, and looted, especially some large families and those who were officials in the yamen, but they could not escape their fate, and they killed and robbed when they saw them. Said it eloquently.

I heard that the Taiping army had reached Nanjing, and some people said that some people in Liyang, Yixing and other places in Jiangsu had already seen the Taiping army. For a time, Nanxun Town also made people panic.

So, Liu Yong discussed with Gu Fuchang and a few other powerful people.

Liu Yong said: Now that the world is not so peaceful, I heard that the "spear" has broken through Nanjing, and some people say that some people in Liyang, Yixing, and other places in Jiangsu have already seen the "spear." If this continues, the safety of Nanxun Town will not be guaranteed, and Nanxun Town will also be in danger. In my opinion, everyone should transfer their families and important assets to the Shanghai Concession as soon as possible, because the Concession is foreign territory, and the "spear" does not dare to take offense. In addition, we set up an "autonomous association" to patrol the main junction leading to Nanxun day and night to ensure the safety of the party.

Gu Fuchang also said: President Liu, although young, is far-sighted. Now that the world is not so peaceful, the number of people who have taken refuge in Nanxun Town has increased dramatically. The top priority is to ensure the safety of one party. The safety of the people on one side is the top priority, especially the family, the elderly and children, relatives and friends, or moving to Shanghai. "When it's peaceful, it's not too late to go back to Nanxun. The difficulty is to keep the family business. The main purpose of the "autonomous association" is to ensure local peace and not to confront external forces. The main intersections are guarded, and once there is a situation, the gong is used as a signal to notify all parties, and once there is a situation, measures will be taken immediately. Avoiding people is important. If the property is gone, you can start all over again, and if the person is gone, then there is nothing.

So, the next day, Nanxun organized an "autonomous association" with dozens of people to be responsible for the security of Nanxun Town.
