183, Rescue

"It's too much!"

After listening to the old patriarch's story, Xia Ning was very angry, there was such a big thing in the place under her jurisdiction, and those officials who enjoyed the benefits did nothing, not to mention helping the people to do justice, but they also did a job of appeasement.

But these people are good, they don't say anything, and they actually bully the people who complain in turn, which is really enough punishment!

Now she understands why this Sanxi Town is so dilapidated and dilapidated, and it seems that it has raised a bunch of moths.

Sure enough, the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, the dog emperor sitting on it is that virtuous, and how upright can you expect the people below to be?

According to her, this Eastern Chu Kingdom will be finished sooner or later!

Song Shaoqin asked another question, "Where did those bandits come from?" Have you heard anything about the neighborhood before? ”

"I heard that they came from a neighboring town, but where do they live? Lao Er didn't know very well, before that, the area of Sanxi Town had never heard of an accident in any village, and the bandits drove away on horseback after robbing us of our food and money, and no one knew where they were. ”

The old patriarch's face couldn't help but show a sad look again, the reason why those bandits would target their Chengjia Village was probably because they learned that their Chengjia Village was the best village in the vicinity, right?

Their Chengjia Village has really suffered an unwarranted disaster!

“.” After hearing these words, Song Shaoqin frowned and pondered, this matter is not simple!

Secondly, the town officials of Sanxi Town also have a big problem.

After Song Shaoqin realized his behavior, he instantly loosened his brows, even if he figured out the reason for the matter, what could he do?

Now that he is no longer an official of the imperial court, and the Song family has been charged with collaborating with the enemy and treason, what can he do with his current status?

Even a small townsman can control his fate, so what is he worried about here?

Seeing that Song Shaoqin was silent and stopped asking questions, Xia Ning immediately opened two large bags of steamed buns and steamed buns, and greeted the old patriarch with a smile.

"This is steamed buns and steamed buns, there are a total of a hundred quantities, how to distribute it will be handed over to Patriarch Cheng, this is a little bit of our heart, other favors may not be able to help, but it is okay to send some food."

"This, this."

The old patriarch's hands trembled excitedly, his wrinkled face was very moved, and even there was a tear in his eyes.

Xia Ning directly stuffed the two bags into the old patriarch's hands, "Don't refuse, adults can still be hungry for a few meals, but the old man and children can't, only by living well can they have a chance to see the fate of those bandits." ”

The old patriarch tightened the food bag in his hand, with their current situation, he really didn't have the qualifications and confidence to say anything polite or refusal.

"Thank you both!!"

The old patriarch was full of gratitude and wanted to kneel and kowtow to the two.

"Whoa! Don't do that! ”

Xia Ning was so frightened that she hurriedly grabbed the old patriarch's hand and stopped him from kneeling, she was really going to let him kneel, she was afraid that she was going to lose her life~

"Patriarch, don't be like this, how can we two juniors afford it, this little bit of food is nothing, I just think you can eat a little bit."

"You two are really good people~"

The old patriarch touched the corners of his eyes, his expression was very emotional, they had been in this broken temple for several days but no one cared, but he didn't expect that someone else would send them steamed buns and steamed buns made of white flour, this is a fine grain, and I don't know how much silver money it spent.

Song Shaoqin asked, "What are you going to do next?" ”

"Alas~ what else can I do? All the food in the village has been looted by the bandits, and nothing is left, and now the weather is getting colder and colder, and there is no grain to grow in the field.

We plan to wait for their injuries to heal and then go back to the village, first build a grass hut to live, rely on the wild vegetables and fruits on the mountain to survive this winter, and wait until spring begins, and then find a way to grow grain in the field. ”

Although this process will be very difficult, but this is also something that cannot be helped, as the benefactor said, you must always work hard to live, you can't just wait for death, right?

Hearing this, Xia Ning said with concern, "Are you seriously injured?" Is there any medication? ”

"Alas~ We were beaten with 20 boards, and we were penniless when we escaped, so we could only pick some herbs in the nearby mountains, and now we can't walk on the ground."

Mentioning this, the old patriarch sighed deeply, in order to explain the ins and outs of the matter to the official master, they specially arranged a few young juniors in the clan who were more clever and sharp-tongued.

Who knew that the adult beat up a few of them indiscriminately, and did not allow them to stay near the official office, so it is said that he also harmed a few juniors and suffered crimes.

Xia Ning turned her head to Song Shaoqin and said, "Why don't you go and take a look?" I still have some trauma medicine here. ”

"Okay." Song Shaoqin readily agreed, although he no longer took on the responsibility of the imperial court, but the ancestral training of the Song family is here, and he can't treat the lives of innocent people as nothing!

As the saying goes, help people send Buddha to the west, and now that they have all met, let's do good things to the end.

In order to facilitate the occasional use of some small things from the porcelain basin space, Xia Ning specially asked Yunxi to sew a simple small cloth bag for her, she pretended to take out something, but actually took out some trauma medicine from the porcelain basin space.

These were still prepared for the injured Song Shaoqin before, but fortunately, his injuries are now recovering, and these trauma medicines are not used.

Xia Ning took out a medicine bottle and an oiled paper bag, and handed it to Song Shaoqin, "One for external application and one for internal use, you know." ”

"Hmm." Song Shaoqin took it.

"Thank you, benefactor~ Thank you!"

When the old patriarch heard that the two of them were willing to provide medicine to treat Xiaoshan and a few people, he was immediately excited.

So, the old patriarch took Song Shaoqin and walked to the broken temple, and the faces of the rest of the people also showed a touch of joy, no longer as dead and silent as before.

Seeing a few five or six-year-old children with dark eyes and looking at herself curiously, Xia Ning couldn't help but step forward and took out a few White Rabbit toffee from the cloth bag.

"Oh~ please eat toffee."

“.”

Several children looked at the toffee in front of them, couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and looked at each other silently, no one dared to stretch out their hands, but the eldest of them opened their mouths.

"Really give it to us? We don't have any money, and we don't have anything to exchange with you. ”

These days of depression are enough for a seven or eight-year-old child to understand the difficulties of life.

"Yes, I invite you to eat, no money, and I don't need you to exchange things with me." Xia Ning smiled and gestured to the toffee in her hand.
