Chapter 369: Falling Water Village
"If they were all left behind by Ye Ruiming, then he should send someone to say it anyway." Luo Ning said: "If you can't wait for the two of them tomorrow, you will go to the nearest government office to report the case." ”
"Yes, miss." After Bai Ling got down, he sat outside, with the coachman, so that he could pay attention to the movements around him.
All the way forward, it didn't take long to arrive at Luoshui Village.
The terrain of Luoshui Village is a bit remote, and it is some distance from the official road, but if you want to get to the next state city, it will definitely be in the middle of the night.
So even though this place is a little remote, Zhang Shun still chooses to settle here.
This time they have taken precautions, and this village is also registered, so it is naturally safer than last night's broken temple.
"My lord, do you have any errands to do here?" An old man who looked to be over the age of sixteen walked over on crutches, his eyes full of nervousness and fear.
"Don't be afraid, the old man, we are going to the disaster area to help, but it is getting late, so we want to come here to borrow for a night." Luo Ning whispered to the old man in front of him.
"Oh! It turned out to be an envoy of the imperial court, everyone, please hurry, the villain will let people prepare. When the old man heard that he was going to the southwest, his expression suddenly became excited, and he hurriedly shouted not far behind him.
Zhang Shun and the others found out that there were people hiding from the haystacks, large water tanks, and even the latrines outside the courtyard.
At this moment, the old man greeted, and those people all poked their heads out, and although they walked forward, they were still a little frightened and shrunk with small steps.
"Hurry up! Come all over. The old man beckoned again, and the men took a slight step and walked over.
After waiting for a while, the men were behind the old man.
"These are the adults who went to the southwest, you quickly tidy up the room and let them rest." The old man said to them, "Prepare some food for your lords." ”
"Old man, don't bother, just prepare three rooms for us to rest, and we'll bring the meals ourselves." Luo Ning turned to Zhang Shun and said, "Let a few brothers follow." ”
"Yes, County Lord!"
"County Lord?" When the old man and those villagers heard this title, their feet were weak, and they knelt directly on the ground, "The villain doesn't know that the county lord is coming, this and this ......"
"Old man, please get up." Luo Ning helped the old man up,
"County Lord, the villain has been waiting for you for a long time!" The old man's tears came out all of a sudden, "The villain asked him to go to the official road and wait, but he was beaten back, and the cuts on his body made people feel distressed when they looked at it." ”
"County Lord, you can help us!" The old man wiped his tears and said: "The villain is the village leader of this Luoshui Village, Luoshui Village has recently taken in a lot of victims, but they are sick, we invited doctors, but when those doctors heard that they were from the disaster area, they were so frightened that they didn't even want the medicine box and ran away." ”
"Victims in the Southwest?" Luo Ning frowned slightly, and motioned for Zhang Shun to help the old man.
"Everybody, get up!" Luo Ning whispered, and followed the villagers to the nearest courtyard, which was not very spacious, with three thatched huts, and a large water tank in the courtyard, except for these, there was only a small stove and thatched house with a shed roof.
"County Lord, you guys rest here first, and then the villain asks them to make out the next room for the soldiers and adults to live in."
"Uncle Sheng......"
A villager next to him opened his mouth to speak, but was pulled by the village leader.
"County Lord, you can rest."
"Grandpa Sheng, if you have something to say, why don't you say it now? Out of the way. Luo Ning cordially called the village and looked at the villagers on the side.
"County Lord, you can call the villain Lao Sheng, this 'Grandpa Sheng' villain really can't afford it!" Muramasa took a step back in fear.
Luo Ning looked at Muramasa's cautious appearance, and said, "It's just a title, then I'll call you Muramasa!" ”
"What's the matter with this uncle?" Luo Ning looked at the villager and said, "It's okay to say it directly. ”
"Muramasa ......"
"The county lord asks you to say it, so you can say it!" Muramasa sighed and said softly: "The county lord has a good heart and is a good person!" ”
The villagers pursed their lips and cheered themselves up in their hearts before they said: "We heard that the imperial court will let a county lord take the imperial doctor to the southwest, county lord, can you let the imperial doctor save the victims in the village first?" Some of the villagers also contracted the disease in order to take care of them. ”
A dignified old man with five big and three rough years couldn't help but wipe his tears when he talked about it, his wife and children were sick villagers.
"County Lord, if you are tired, you can rest first, or, or you can help us invite the doctor from the state city to come!" Muramasa's voice was low, and it was sad to hear.
"County Lord, the old man is not tired, why don't the old man go!" Lan Lao was the first to stand up.
"County Lord, Xia Guan feels that he can bear it at this time, and Xia Guan will go with Lan Lao."
Someone took the lead, and soon, half of them asked for their lives.
Luo Ning didn't expect to meet infected villagers here, it is only two days away from the capital, if something goes wrong, then the capital is in danger!
"Then it's hard for Lan Lao and Imperial Doctor Chen, you take someone to take a trip." Luo Ning bowed his head to the healers.
"The county lord is serious, this is my duty to wait." Several people avoided Luo Ning's salute one after another.
Although this Luoshui Village gave her a very safe feeling, for the sake of insurance, Luo Ning still asked Zhang Shun to take someone with her.
Obviously to take the medicine box, but in fact to protect them.
"Muramasa, you have a patient here, and the government doesn't take care of it? Why do you have to hire a doctor yourself? Luo Ning looked at the village and said: "And Luoshui Village is not next to the official road, according to the disaster victims, they should also go to the state city or the capital!" ”
Just like the few victims who were "encountered" by Fang Junyi arranged by Uncle Dong, even if they were not in the capital, they should have appeared in the suburbs.
That's how you can get someone's attention and get help.
Instead of coming to this kind of small village in the middle of nowhere.
"This villain is not very clear." Muramasa said: "The villain heard from those victims that they also planned to enter Beijing, but they were forcibly driven here, and the villain saw that they were pitiful, so he left them." ”
When Muramasa said this, his face was extremely complicated.
He wanted to do a good deed, but this good deed was difficult to do, and it affected the villagers of Luoshui Village.
As a village masa, he really shouldn't be!
Luo Ning saw his embarrassment, and said softly: "The village doesn't have to blame yourself, you are right to save people, if it is other villagers, I believe they will not die without saving." ”
"By the way, you said that the villagers were asked to wait for us, and then they were beaten, do you know who did it?"
"The villain doesn't know." Muramasa shook his head, his face even more complicated.
"Surely those who are in office! They put ......"
"Shut up!" Muramasa scolded the man sharply.
Don't you understand the truth of this calamity?
Hasn't he understood the meaning of these two official words?
At the moment, he only hoped that Luo Ning could save the people in the village, and he didn't dare to think about anything else, because he didn't know if Luo Ning, the county lord, was also like those people.
"Muramasa, let him speak!"
"County Lord, in fact, we have also been to the official mansion, but not only did they not help, but also told us not to do much, and they were still guarding our village every day a few days ago, so we had to give up."
"Maybe they saw that we were safe, so they withdrew the guards." The villagers said excitedly: "Later, we heard that the imperial court sent Lord Qincha, so we thought about trying our luck, but we ended up staying by the official road, so we let people beat us." ”
"You said it wasn't those who were in power to do it, who else would it be! They're trying to force us to death! The more the villager spoke, the more excited he became, and the anger in his eyes was eager to burn the people who were officials in his mouth.
Luo Ning's face sank more and more.
It is no wonder that the capital has not received news of the disaster in the southwest for a long time.
It seems that not only can't the news come out, but also people, so they have to have the ability to go to this capital!
Luo Ning was suddenly a little glad that she saved Uncle Dong, otherwise those real victims would have pretended to be disaster victims.
