Chapter 115: A Night of Great Change
Suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloom.
When they woke up, they saw that the whole world was white, and the ground and the treetops were covered with snow.
"Ahh
"It's so cold!"
"I'm freezing to death!"
Everyone huddled together, hid under a tree, and was woken up in the middle of the night, and then frantically added firewood, or they would have frozen to death.
They didn't think at all, just one night, winter came, without a trace of defense.
"Come on!"
"Help!"
Suddenly, a woman shouted.
Everyone looked back one after another, and saw a woman holding an old man in her arms, and the old man was lying on the ground unconscious, obviously unconscious from the cold.
When Xu Tian heard the movement, he hurriedly ran over and shouted to everyone, "Get out of the way and carry him to the fire together!" ”
Feeling the coldness on the old man's body, there was no beating pulse, Xu Tian's face was very ugly.
"Let me see!"
Dr. Yang carried the medicine box on his back and hurriedly walked over, followed by Yang Xiaohua, the first thing Lord Chen did when he saw the snow was that he was worried that someone would freeze to death, so he asked Dr. Yang to help.
And the medicine box was bought by Mr. Chen in the county seat, and they bought two at that time, one for Dr. Yang and one for Yang Xiaohua.
Xu Tian knew that he was the doctor next to Lord Chen, so he hurriedly got out of the way, and Dr. Yang squatted beside the old man.
After checking it, he sighed, "It's too late, it was already ...... last night"
The old man's body has poor resistance, and the nutrition can not keep up, every day to walk a long distance, physical and mental are very tired, last night suddenly snowed, the consequences can be imagined.
When the woman heard this, she immediately hugged the old man's body and cried, "Dad, Dad, don't leave me alone...... Father... Why ......"
Xu Tian stood up silently, looked around, and there were wails all around, obviously, there was more than one person who was frozen to death.
"Make the fire bigger and bring everyone together." Xu Tian quickly reacted and ordered the other officials.
"Also, hurry up and boil some hot water, cook some food, and let everyone fill their stomachs."
After everyone got together, Xu Tian also counted the casualties, and only two people froze and died, one was an old man and the other was a baby.
Luckily, the snow didn't fall last night, it should have been in the morning.
At that time, everyone was almost awake, so when they felt the snow falling, they had already gathered together to warm themselves and make a fire.
Otherwise, it would not be just two people who had an accident.
When Xu Tian sighed, he was a little happy, but at the same time a little confused, there were still 108,000 miles away from Nanban, and he didn't know how many of these people could hold on to the end.
Shaking his head, not thinking about it, he saw Master Chen and the others cooking, so he walked over.
Then I saw that Master Chen was cooking ginger soup, and then asked the children, the elderly, and the woman to drink it first.
"Why!"
Some people are dissatisfied, "Why can they drink it, we can't drink it!" ”
"That's what we brought out!" Chen Xue said coldly, "We can do whatever we want with our things!" ”
"You ......"
That person didn't expect Chen Xue to be so direct, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
At this time, Lord Chen also walked out and looked at everyone, "You all have elders, wives and daughters, etc., this ginger soup is limited, whether to let your wives and daughters drink it or drink it yourself, you think about it carefully." ”
As soon as Lord Chen's words came out, everyone naturally chose to give them to his wife, children and the elderly, after all, they were weak.
Of course, there are also people who are selfish and don't give their wives and children, but drink them themselves, and such people have long been blacklisted by Lord Chen.
This time the snow fell suddenly, and everyone was unprepared, and Lord Chen was in charge of the sudden snow disaster relief in the household department.
Therefore, he is well aware of the consequences of a sudden snowfall, and if he doesn't make a move, these people will not last the next day.
Although he is not a Tobe squire now, he has the ability to help, so how could he watch these people die in front of him.
Even if some of these people deserve it, many more are innocent.
And he doesn't need to pay too much price, as long as he pays a small price, he can save a group of people, with Lord Chen's character, how can he not do it.
Therefore, he asked for the opinions of his wife and daughter, and after getting consent, he made ginger soup from the ginger that Chen Xue had bought as seeds and seasonings.
After all, it is a well-known thing that ginger soup can keep out the cold.
It's just that ginger is limited, so the ginger soup made is naturally limited, and Lord Chen is naturally not a saint, so he can't make everyone have a bowl of water.
Unless you put more water, in this case, there will be a little ginger flavor at most, and it will have no effect at all.
Therefore, he chose the elderly, children, and women, who were relatively weak and prone to freezing, and let them drink ginger soup, and if there was more, he could give it to others.
Let the officials keep order, let the women, children, and old people come and collect them, and ask them to drink on the spot and leave.
The man who opened his mouth to question just now pursed his lips, "Isn't it just a bowl of ginger soup, what's so great, it's not that I haven't drunk it." ”
The others ignored him and looked at those people with envy, some of them did not have children and wives, so they were wondering if they should rub a bowl.
"Thank you, Lord Chen!"
A family of three suddenly came to Lord Chen and knelt on the ground.
"Hurry up!"
Lord Chen was a little puzzled, and hurriedly helped them up, only then did he recognize that it was Wu Zhang who explained to them how to build a bamboo house yesterday.
"If it weren't for Lord Chen, I'm afraid our family would ......" Wu Zhang was very grateful to the Chen family in his heart, and yesterday the Chen family gave him a few padded jackets, so that their family would not be frostbitten in the face of a sudden cooling.
It can be said that their family's lives were saved by the Chen family.
"If Lord Chen doesn't dislike it, we are willing to serve on the left and right."
After discussing with his wife, Wu Zhang decided to take refuge in Lord Chen, after all, he would not be bullied if he followed them.
"This ......"
Although Lord Chen thought about taking Wu Zhang for his own use, he just thought about it, and he didn't think about how to speak, so they turned out to be ......
Seeing that Lord Chen didn't speak, Wu Zhang seemed to be worried about being misunderstood, and hurriedly explained, "Lord Chen, we are not here for food, we just want to get a shelter, we will find a way to eat these things, and if Lord Chen has orders, we will definitely do it." ”
Lord Chen was not worried about food, but he had not examined Wu Zhang's temperament, so he hesitated.
"Dad, promise it!" Chen Xue suddenly spoke, and whispered in Lord Chen's ear, "Didn't we discuss it before?" Take these prisoners for your own use. ”
That's right, they had discussed it before, and first took all the servants for their own use, but Captain Sun and the others had an accident, but the result was the same as what they wanted.
Most of the officials listened to them, and now as long as all the prisoners were dealt with, then their path of exile could really be regarded as a tourist road.
When the time comes, no matter what they do, they can, these prisoners are their people, and they will not leak secrets in the future.
