Chapter 220: Reconstruction
When the day dawned, the temperature rose, the bonfire was not extinguished, and the guards slept more deeply.
Tian Yunyun took a sip of a cup of hot tea and added some charcoal to the brazier.
Chirp rubbed her eyes, "Girl, you're awake!" ”
Tian Yunyun: "Well, don't wake up the others." ”
They slept in the carriage last night, and the brick room was left for the guards to rest.
Tian Yunyun spread a piece of paper on the small table and took a charcoal pen to record Linxian.
This village, which is also under the jurisdiction of Linxian County, is the second disaster site they visited.
After counting the food consumed on the next road, there are a few truckloads of food missing, and I hope that there will be a place for supplies in Linxian.
Tian Yunyun got out of the carriage and counted it, and the numbers were all right.
There are also seven carts and tens of thousands of stone grain.
Chirp followed behind Tian Yunyun, and the two walked around the village.
The ground was particularly muddy, and the snow was not cleared, and in some places it was even frozen, and the ground was a little slippery.
Most of the houses in the village are mud embryos, with straw roofs and tiles in better conditions.
It simply could not bear the weight of the heavy snow, and each house was damaged to varying degrees.
Roofs collapsed, and walls collapsed.
Only the old man lived in the one that was repaired with the help of the county magistrate, and the remaining brick house was originally lived in by the governor.
Later, the whole family moved to the city to live, and the house was empty.
Chirped and helped Tian Yunyun to walk back.
Suddenly I heard the ringing of a bell.
On the road at the entrance of the village, an ox cart was driving people back.
They saw the footprints on the ground and hurried to the village.
The guards woke up when they heard the commotion, and stood up to look at the comers.
There were men, women, and children, and a woman with a child in her arms at the back.
A middle-aged man asked, "Who are you?" ”
I saw that this group of people were dressed in the same clothes, and they were all equipped with swords.
All of them are majestic, much more imposing than the officials.
Tang Sixteen: "We were sent by the imperial court, who are you?" ”
Middle-aged man: "We are the villagers of this village, and you are the Qincha sent by the imperial court?" ”
The county magistrate received the news, and the imperial court sent a messenger to provide relief.
The villagers couldn't sit still and hurried back.
I didn't expect the Qincha to come so quickly.
The villagers all looked at each other happily, looked at the guards in unison, and shouted, "Lord Qingtian! ”
When you bow with your hands, you have to kneel.
Tang Sixteen: "It's not me!" ”
The middle-aged man stood in place awkwardly, "May I ask who is the eldest master of Qincha?" ”
Tang Sixteen looked in the direction of the carriage.
At this time, Tang Jing walked out of the house, "No need to salute!" Sixteenth, register your name and the situation of the disaster! ”
Tang Sixteen put away his sword, took out a pen and paper, and beckoned to the villagers, "Come here!" ”
The villagers nodded and gathered around.
The lieutenant hurriedly moved a table out, thinking that he really didn't guess wrong, Commander Tang was the Qincha?
How can there be a female Qincha, who has lived for so many years and has never heard of it.
Tian Yunyun and Chirp went back.
The villagers looked at them curiously, they were wearing veils, and the clothes they wore were very good, and the fox fur did not look like a trace of impurities.
The bearded man walked over, blocked everyone's sight, and said to Tian Yunyun, "Girl, have you eaten breakfast?" ”
Tian Yunyun: "Leave breakfast to me and Chirp, you help everyone clean up the house." ”
Collapsed walls need to be rebuilt, broken things and furniture need to be repaired, pots and pans have to be replaced.
The villagers looked at the mess and were in a very low mood.
Without saying a word, he began to clean up the house.
Tang Sixteen stood in the distance and frowned: "Clean up the snow on the roof first, if it falls, it will hit someone." ”
After a few days of snow, it melted and then froze into an ice mound, which was so strong that it could smash a hole in the head.
The villagers were in trouble, and all twelve families were affected, how could there be so many ladders and so many men who could do such work.
Tang Sixteen ordered a team of guards to cut down trees and make ladders.
A team repairs furniture.
There is also a team to clear the road.
The guards moved quickly, ladders were built, and they climbed to the roof to clear the snow.
Tang Jing led people to repair the house.
The bearded man led a team of men to build the wall.
The villagers looked at them dumbfounded, these people could simply do anything.
I boiled a big pot of porridge for breakfast, and added some diced bacon to the rice and yellow rice porridge.
Chirp shouted, "It's time to eat!" ”
Tian Yunyun lifted the lid of the pot and turned the whole cake over, and the browned sides looked particularly attractive.
Chirp held a large sticky board and followed it.
Tian Yunyun rolled up the cake and cut it into pieces with a knife.
A bowl of porridge and a cake per person.
The guards lined up and sat on the threshold to eat.
When the villagers returned to their houses, a six-year-old boy leaned on the door and looked out.
I couldn't help but swallow my saliva, "It's so fragrant!" What are they eating? ”
The woman took the boy back and stuffed a nest in his hand, "Eat!" ”
The hard, dry head of the nest choked the child and rolled his eyes.
He ran out of the house and ran to the kitchen to scoop a scoop of cold water into his mouth.
The kitchen was a thatched hut built next to the house, and the snow on the roof had not yet had time to be cleared.
The boy walked in a hurry, the door slammed against the wall, and the snow on the beams deformed the rotten beams.
He didn't notice at all.
The roof collapsed without warning.
The boy screamed and was crushed underneath.
When the woman heard the commotion, she cried out in a hurry, "Someone, help!" ”
She rushed to the kitchen and pulled the snow with both hands.
Everyone who was eating heard it.
Stand up and look in the direction the voice is coming from.
Tian Yunyun: "Go and save people!" ”
The bearded man put down the bowl and was the first to rush out.
Tang Sixteen: "Come and see a few people with me." ”
The bearded man helped the frightened woman out.
Tang Sixteen and the guards quickly cleared the snow.
The skin on the child's head was broken, but fortunately it did not hurt the vital point.
The woman hugged the little boy and cried, calmed down and wiped her tears, and pressed the little boy's head, "Thank you, Master Jun!" ”
Tang Sixteen waved his hand, "Pay attention next time!" ”
Looking up at the rickety kitchen, he frowned, "Don't go in again, this is going to be demolished and rebuilt." ”
The bearded man looked at the black nest head in the little boy's hand, "Why didn't you go to eat?" ”
It should be that the villagers didn't go to eat, and they wanted to help them work and repair their houses, and they had to eat and drink, and their faces couldn't get by.
Tang Sixteen also forgot because he had too many things to do.
He cleared his throat, "Call everyone over for dinner!" Don't go into the house again, or you won't be able to eat! ”
The woman nodded, and took the child to the other villagers.
For people who have been hungry for a few days, they can eat up as much food as possible.
There was still fragrant two-rice bacon porridge left in the cauldron.
In the other pot, there are hot, soft and oily vegetable cakes, which are so delicious that I want to swallow my tongue.
The villagers held the bowl of clay embryo in their hands and sat aside to eat it.
The guards had finished eating, and sat together talking.
Tang Sixteen bent over and half-squatted on one leg, instructing them what to do next.
After eating, the villagers brushed the bowl with snow, scooped hot water and scalded the bowl, they found that these military masters were very particular, for fear that they would dislike it.
Tang Sixteen glanced up at them, "Put the bowl away and bring it over for dinner at noon!" ”
Villager: "I'm sorry, we can cook by ourselves if we fix the stove." ”
"Yes! No more trouble! ”
Thinking that it had just happened, the military master asked them to come for a meal.
Tang Sixteen: "If you are called, you will come." ”
Anyway, Miss Tian said, don't worry about food.
The villagers looked at each other, answered, and went back with their bowls.
Tang Sixteen walked up to Tian Yunyun and asked, "Girl, what should I do next?" ”
Tian Yunyun: "Eat, wear and live!" water source, check if the well water can still be hit. ”
"There are also enough clothes and bedding to keep out the cold, firewood, grain, refined salt, etc., not enough to buy, and the house will be repaired as soon as possible, and it will get colder and colder day by day."
A day late is a little more dangerous, and there are other villages waiting to be rescued.
Tang Sixteen nodded, and called the guards to explain one by one.
The crowd was busy in an orderly manner.
Tang Jing took a few guards to the city to buy supplies, as well as the tools and materials that were needed.
Finally rushed back before dinner.
Tang Jing asked the saw and shovel to be unloaded from the carriage.
He found Tian Yunyun and said in a low voice: "I didn't see the county magistrate, he took a bunch of strong men to Yushui Village, and there was no news for two days." The disaster was worse than expected, and grain could not be bought, and some merchants hoarded grain and drove up prices. ”
Tian Yunyun: "Write it down first, take the time to find him, and let him spit out all the food he swallowed!" ”
Tang Jing: "Yes! ”
With the tools, the speed of repairing the house has increased.
After dinner, everyone was busy around the fire and continued to live for a while.
There were empty houses in the village, and the guards could go in and sleep.
Tang Jing quietly left the village with a group of people and rushed in the direction of the city.
Following.
When everyone woke up, they found that there were more than a dozen sacks of rice next to the makeshift stove that had been built.
The villagers' jaws dropped in astonishment.
"Doesn't that mean there's no more food to sell in the city?"
"Now grain is worth as much as gold."
"Master Jun, where did you go to buy it back?"
Tang Jing's face did not change and said: "It was transported from the imperial village." ”
The villagers suddenly realized that it was the grain from the royal farm.
Let's just say that it is impossible to go back and forth so quickly in one night, not to mention that it is not easy to walk on the road now.
The bearded man borrowed tools from the villagers to hull the rice, and the villagers patted their chests, "Master Jun, this kind of work will be handed over to us." ”
It was all done in the morning.
Fifty guards were left to help with the finishing touches, and the others set off for the city.
The villagers sent them out of the village, bringing eggs and dried vegetables to them.
Tian Yunyun suddenly saw the guard behind her, and said to the chirping: "When I enter the city, I will send him to the prison." ”
With such a person, it is a hidden danger, and it is a waste of food.
Chirp: "Yes! ”
Because he couldn't find his son and the villagers, the lieutenant went on the road with him.
He had a vague feeling that everyone was very respectful to the two girls.
