Chapter 254: The Rise and Fall of the People
"Don't be afraid, these two sons are not bad people!" the little girl grinned. Showing his big white teeth, he said. "Brother Hui, what do you have to eat?"
Brother Hui still glanced at Xiao Yunhe a few more times and said, "Just now...... We caught a few loaches in the field and also found some wild vegetable mushrooms. I will stew it for your mother to drink to replenish your body. β
"Good, good!" the little girl cheered happily, "Mother, there is something delicious!"
Xiao Yunhe also laughed heartily when he saw him so happy, and said to that Brother Hui: "Your name is Brother Hui, right?
Brother Hui looked at Xiao Yunhe with some hostility: "You are not from the Han Palace, are you here to collect rent?"
"Oh, no. Xiao Yunhe smiled, "It's just passing." β
Brother Hui looked at him suspiciously a few times and said, "We thought you were here to collect rent, but from a distance, the adults were hiding." Since you're not, I'll call them back later. Then he turned back to a group of mud children around him and said, "Go back and call the adults back, they are not here to collect rent." β
The group of mud children ran away, and there was a splash of muddy water.
The little girl put on the rope again, and was about to pull his mother forward, but was snatched by Brother Dihui, who was much taller. Xiao Yunhe pulled Gao Gu to the side and said to him: "You go back and find Ju Wenzhen and a few of them, let them go back to the county seat quickly, find a merchant, and buy some grain." Well, it's best to find Wu Yuanheng to help and ask him to send some officials to help. Then, rush back as soon as possible to distribute the food to the people in the nearby villages. β
Gao Gu nodded solemnly: "Yes!"
Xiao Yunhe waved his hand, signaling him to leave quickly, then walked next to Brother Hui and said to him, "Brother Hui, I'm an adult, let me pull the rope!"
"Huh?" Brother Hui was stunned for a moment, and looked at the richly dressed boy in front of him in disbelief. The woman also cried out in panic: "Childe, this must not be!"
"It's okay, sister-in-law. Xiao Yunhe took a deep breath, tried his best to make his voice calm and soft, suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "You ...... Let me pull it. In this way, I will feel better. Okay?"
"No, no! Xiao Yan and Brother Hui also said: "Yes, Childe, no need." The two of us can do it. β
Xiao Yunhe let out a long sigh and said, "Otherwise." If you let me pull it, I'll invite all of you to eat white rice and white flour steamed buns!"
"Really?!" Xiao Yan and Brother Hui were children after all, so they cried out excitedly. The woman was still shaking her hand: "This is not good! I am a slut, how can I let a noble person like Gongzi drag me down......
"Don't say it, let me do it. Xiao Yunhe couldn't help but snatch the hemp rope in Brother Hui's hand and put it on his shoulder. With a little force, he pulled the plank behind him and ran forward.
The woman whimpered and cried: "Childe...... Stop, stop!
Brother Hui was a little stunned, and followed stupidly, not knowing what to say or do.
The road was very slippery, Xiao Yunhe's boots and brocade robe were already full of mud and water, and the hemp rope on his shoulders was also a little painful. But the guilt and soreness in his heart are alleviating a little.
The sunset is light, and on the muddy path, a son in a luxurious brocade dress, with a hemp rope on his shoulder, drags a paralyzed strange woman behind him, and moves forward step by step.
Xiao Yunhe is very glad that although he has been the emperor for more than 20 years, the pure land in his heart is still there. No matter how many bloody wars and deceitful battles you have experienced, no matter how cruel and ruthless you have been, and how many people you have killed, deep down, there is still something called kindness and benevolence.
The woman was crying silently, and was scolding her ignorant son. The little couple was scolded for a while, and he stood in front of Xiao Yunhe to prevent him from pulling it anymore. At this moment, a group of people appeared on the road ahead, about a dozen people. They walked up to Xiao Yunhe and the others, and they all looked at Xiao Yunhe suspiciously and vigilantly.
When the little couple saw this group of people, he immediately shouted happily: "Uncle Yu, Uncle Xiao...... You didn't run away!"
"No, kid. The two sturdy croppers squatted down, touched the little man's head, wiped the muddy water from his face, and then asked, "Who is this son? Why is he helping to pull your mother?"
The little servant pointed at Xiao Yunhe and said very loudly: "This son is a good person!"
"Good man?" Xiao Yunhe muttered softly, then a smile appeared on his face, and he said in his heart: Thank you, little girl......
The villagers looked at Xiao Yunhe carefully, and then heard the woman say: "This son, with a bodhisattva-like heart, is really a good person. Only then did he have no suspicion and eliminated his hostility towards Xiao Yunhe.
Several strong crop men walked up to the woman together, lifted the wooden board directly and walked forward, and invited Xiao Yunhe to go over with him.
After a short time on the muddy path, everyone came to the house that Xiao Yunhe had visited before. The fence and the gate were opened, and some cooking smoke came out of the house. The men put the woman in the courtyard, brought hot water, and asked the little girl to scrub the mud off his mother's body.
Xiao Yunhe was also invited into the house by the man named Yu Da. Looking around, there are thin and obscure walls, and there is almost no furniture in the home, only a couch in the middle and a dining table in the main hall. In the kitchen, a woman's cough sounded, apparently choking on fireworks.
Xiao Yunhe walked into the kitchen, and the woman withdrew without suspicion when she saw the salute. He lifted the lid of the pot and saw that a pot of black mush was boiling in the pot, about to tumble. I picked up the pot and spoon on the side and scooped it, but I scooped up a pile of weed-like things and chaff, only a few pitiful grains of white rice.
Yu Da smiled awkwardly next to Xiao Yunhe: "Childe smiled." The people in the mountains are too poor to eat. β
Xiao Yunhe smiled slightly: "It's okay, I didn't mean to laugh at you." How long have you been eating these things?"
"It's been more than a month. Yu Da said, "In the past month or so, I have been eating this kind of thing. After the autumn harvest, there was no food to eat, and all of them were collected. Originally, this year's annual achievements were not good, and the King of Han had to add tribute, so that we sold everything we could sell at home. In fact, in recent years, most of the villagers in the neighborhood have to eat more than half of the grass roots. Where have you ever eaten white rice and white noodles? This is a war, a disaster, and a rent increase, and I can't live anymore, so I can only flee the famine. There are only half of the people in the village left. There are not enough people to farm the land, so the land can only be left barren piece by piece. It's so distressing to watch!"
Xiao Yunhe let out a long breath and said, "Didn't the government take any measures to help you?"
"It hasn't been before. Yu Da said. "This piece of land is the Yongye field of the Han King, and the government can't control it; the three villages and more than 800 households in our neighborhood are also the food of the Han King, and they don't pay tribute to the imperial court, but only give the Han Wang's land, and the government hasn't taken much care of us. But this year, a county order surnamed Wu came. That's a good guy. He sent many people down to give us free medical treatment, repair houses, lend us seeds, farm tools, and even ploughing cattle. It's just that...... Many families don't have the hands to farm, and even the seeds are boiled and eaten. The cattle were also slaughtered...... Speaking of which, these are all against the law, and I'm sorry for the Wu County Order. But we can't help it. Don't eat. He will have to starve to death! He Wu County ordered him to come to help him only once, and we can't keep asking him to ask for it! In addition, even the families who have planted the fields, after the autumn harvest, there is no grain to fall, and all of them are collected by the King of Han. Originally, it was better to beg than to farm, and there was no food left and right. β
After hearing these words, Xiao Yunhe's heart could no longer calm down. Reading novels all the way to the Internet, I feel as painful as a needle pricking fire.
That night, Xiao Yunhe did not eat the food offered by the villagers. It's not that I dislike that things are ugly and unpalatable. Just because, even if it's this kind of dregs stewed wild vegetables. It's too little, not enough for the villagers to share it themselves. Gao Gu came back after explaining the matter to Ju Wenzhen, and the two spent the night in the Yu family in the name of passing by and staying overnight.
Early the next morning, Xiao Yunhe, who had been sleepless all night, had just fallen asleep for a while when he was woken up by a commotion outside. He turned over and walked outside the house to see that many villagers had gathered at the intersection of Wujiagou, all of whom were discussing some things very lively: "Did the Wuxian Commander send someone to squeeze us again?"
"We ate the seeds and ploughing cattle he sent, where do we have the face to take his things again!"
"yes......"
"How can it seem that the eunuch of the Han Palace, who came to collect the rent that day, was also with them?"
When Xiao Yunhe heard this, he probably understood what was going on. It was at this moment that Ju Wenzhen walked along the muddy path step by step with the guards Wang Dahu and Wang Zhennan, and shouted from a distance: "My lord, my lord, you are here!"
The villagers were taken aback when they saw Ju Wenzhen, and then they heard him shout Lord, and they were even more shocked, and they all looked at Xiao Yunhe.
Xiao Yunhe didn't want to hide his identity at this time, walked up to those villagers, arched his hand slightly, and said, "Fellow villagers, it's not that I deliberately want to deceive you, and I ask for your forgiveness." I am the King of the Great Qi Han, Xiao Yunhe. β
"Ahh The little girl who dragged his mother to beg for the land yesterday stood up at this time despite the resistance of the adults, looked up at Xiao Yunhe, and said, "Childe...... A good person like you, is it really the King of Han?"
"Yes, I am the King of Han. Xiao Yunhe squatted down and touched the little man's head, "I didn't lie to you." King Han came this time, not to collect rent or arrest people, but to help the villagers. β
When those villagers heard Xiao Yunhe say such a thing, and they smiled peacefully, they all temporarily suppressed their temperament. At this time, Ju Wenzhen had already run in front of Xiao Yunhe, and said breathlessly: "Your Palace, your lord! Let the villain find you! The villain has done everything the adult has explained." Wu Xian Ling personally took more than 30 officials and catchers, as well as more than 100 people from Huayuan County, including innkeepers and shopkeepers, pushing more than 60 cars, and had already arrived at the entrance of the village. More than 300 stones of grain were transported. The money on the villain's body is about to run out, and all the food that can be bought in the Huayuan Market has been bought!"
Xiao Yunhe nodded approvingly, and said to Ju Wenzhen: "You will take Wang Dahu and Wang Zhennan to the nearby village to spread the word now." Let all the villagers go to the entrance of the village to receive relief food. Each household, according to the number of people. Divide the 30,000 catties of grain. β
"Yes, my lord!" replied loudly and took the two of them away. The villagers on the side were in an uproar and said incredulously: "Is this true?"
"Give us food?"
He ...... Really the King of Han?!"
The little servant was closest to Xiao Yunhe, so he naturally heard it clearly, and he no longer doubted anything at this time, and knelt down in front of Xiao Yunhe. The little head kowtowed to the ground again and again: "Thank you King Han, thank you King Han! My mother won't starve to death!"
The people next to them also knelt down to express their gratitude. Xiao Yunhe hurriedly picked up the little girl, walked among the villagers, and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, get up." This king is ashamed, he has done so many things to hurt the villagers before. Today. Let me do something for the villagers a little bit and express my apologies! Everyone should go back to their respective homes, bring rice bags and wooden barrels, and go to the village to distribute grain!"
The villagers stood up happily and dispersed with their hands clapping in celebration. Yu Da walked in front of Xiao Yunhe. Panicked and frightened, he knelt on the ground and said, "King Han, yesterday the grass people ...... If you talk nonsense in front of adults, King Han will please condemn you!"
"Get up. Yu Da. Xiao Yunhe said, "What you said is true and true, and you are right." Why should I punish you for your crimes? It's all my fault, I don't know anything about the lives of the people, and I even ordered an extra 30% of the tribute this year, and I did such a stupid thing. Today, I will take back that order. Later, I'll announce something in public. I also asked Yu Da to gather the villagers. Okay, now you have to go to the village entrance and line up first, and divide the grain. β
"Yes, yes! The grass people must let the villagers arrive!" Yu Da ran back to the house excitedly, and also went with his woman to carry the cloth bag and wooden barrel and share the grain.
Xiao Yunhe put the little guy down. said: "Little girl, where is your mother?"
"Fall asleep at home. The little servant looked up at Xiao Yunhe. "I also went back to get my pocket, and distributed grain and grass for my mother to make porridge to drink. Now you don't have to starve to death, and you don't have to go out to beg. β
"Well, go ahead. Xiao Yunhe patted Xiao Yan's thin shoulder, and his heart was finally a little more comfortable. Then take Gao Gu and walk towards the entrance of the village together. At this time, the whole village seemed to be boiling, and everyone ran out and squeezed towards the entrance of the village. It didn't take long for several nearby villages to become lively, and a large number of villagers rushed to the entrance of the village with their things to distribute food.
On a large square flat at the entrance of the village, more than 60 trucks and more than 300 loads of grain have been neatly stacked. Wu Yuanheng took more than 30 officials to arrest the fast, and many volunteers from Huayuan County carried the grain together, all of them were so tired that they were sweating.
When Xiao Yunhe approached there, many people immediately recognized him and shouted, "King Han is here." So they all fell to their knees. Xiao Yunhe hurriedly asked them all to get up, and at this time, Wu Yuanheng walked in front of Xiao Yunhe.
"Lord Han. Wu Yuanheng bowed his hand, "The people of Xixia Village, thank you, my lord!"
Xiao Yunhe pressed his hand: "Thank me for what? I'm just forgiving my sins." Excuse me. β
Wu Yuanheng smiled slightly: "My lord is too humble." At the Huayuan County Market, all the grain that could be bought was bought, and many people voluntarily donated their family grain storage. There are more than 300 stones in total, all here. It's a pity that there are no more grains of grain in the county government warehouse, otherwise more can be sent over. β
Xiao Yunhe frowned: "In the public warehouse in Huayuan County, there is no food?"
Wu Yuanheng also sighed lightly and said, "When the humble post came to Huayuan, the public warehouse was already empty. Probably the army of Kannai was requisitioned. Moreover, in the past two months, the county government has saved some money on the land by cutting down on food and clothing, and the grain and grass bought are not enough to provide relief, so not a single grain of grain has been saved at all. Moreover, there is not much grain that can be bought in the market in Huayuan. These 300 stones are already the limit, and they were bought at a very high price. β
"In other words, in an entire county, there are only three hundred stone of grain for sale in the market?" Xiao Yunhe felt a little strange.
"Yes. Wu Yuanheng said, "I also felt a little strange about my humble position, and I am currently investigating." I think that it is very likely that someone is taking advantage of the high grain in Guanzhong, hoarding goods, and preparing to make a fortune in the country. β
"Possibly. Xiao Yunhe nodded and said, "If you want to check, you must check it out." You should hurry up on this matter. If there's a place where I need help, just ask. Helping people in this way is just a way to stop boiling. If we really want these people to survive the famine and survive this winter safely, we must find the real root cause of Huayuan's food shortage and solve the problem. β
"Humble command. Wu Yuanheng gave up his hand, and his eyes were obviously different from those of the previous days. Xiao Yunhe also felt that this proud and high-minded talent seemed to have a slight change in his opinion of himself. Perhaps, the reason why he had a grudge against King Han before was that Cheng DΓΉ had something to do with this Xixia Village. At the beginning of the year, Xiao Yunhe ordered to pay more tribute to the food and fields, so Xixia Village became what it is now. With Wu Yuanheng's jealous and hateful nature, there is no reason not to scorn or even hate Xiao Yunhe.
In front of Dafangping, nearly 1,000 people have gathered. Xiao Yunhe asked Wu Yuanheng to take the Dijia and Lizheng here and start distributing grain according to the registered population. The people were happily queuing up to receive relief food, and the scene was extremely lively.
But when these people knew that this was the food sent by the King of Han, many people hesitated, and even a few of them went too far, threw the food they had just received to the ground, and turned around and left.
Xiao Yunhe hurriedly asked the villagers to come back and asked them: "The grain has not offended you, why did you drop the grain? Do you know how difficult it is to come by the grain now?"
The villagers seemed to be very strong, and shouted for the first stout man who was not afraid of death: "Death of hunger is death, and cutting off of the head is also death, it is better to give a good time! After eating this grain, tomorrow we will work hard for another year, and everything will still be taken away by you, and we will be hungry for another year." On days like this, it's better to die. I'm being disrespectful, so you can order me to be slashed with a knife! Anyway, my women and children are dead, and it's not interesting for me to live alone!"
Wu Yuanheng on the side said softly: "This person's name is Song Wang, and he is a carpenter in the village. My family members were sick not long ago, and because they had no money for treatment and nothing to eat, they all went. β
Xiao Yunhe nodded, looked at Song Wang with a frown, then turned around and climbed into a car, and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, I, Xiao Yunhe, the king of Han, have something to say to the villagers today!"
Xiao Yunhe's ascending shout made everyone look over this way. The officials also stopped distributing food, and asked the villagers to come over and listen to the Han king's lecture first.
Xiao Yunhe has faced thousands of troops and horses more than once, and at those times, he was always very calm and calm. But this time, when he faced the eyes of more than a thousand civilians, he felt a little heavy and very depressed.
"Folks. I know that you hate me and hate me. That's as it should be, and I don't blame you. Xiao Yunhe said loudly but very peacefully, "Before, I did a lot of things that I was sorry for the villagers, adding tribute and rent, and didn't care about the life and death of the villagers.
After that, Xiao Yunhe looked at the more than 1,000 people in front of him, bent down and bowed for a long time.
The villagers, on the other hand, were quieter, and they all looked straight at him.
Xiao Yunhe continued: "As soon as I return home tomorrow, I will ask my subordinates to return all the tributes and rented grain collected a few days ago to the villagers. With this money and grain, everyone will have enough to eat, buy winter clothes, buy seeds and farm tools, and prepare for next year's spring ploughing. The villagers were still silent, and they didn't seem to believe that the king of Han would say such a thing. In the crowd, Yu shouted loudly: "Okay!"
The villagers woke up like a dream and shouted loudly: "Okay! Thank you." Xiao Yunhe continued, "Today I am here, and in the name of the King of Han, I decree that all Yongye fields under my name will be exempted from paying grain rent for two years, and all households under my food will be exempted from paying tribute for two years. And. After two years, I will never collect a penny more in tribute, and I will not collect a grain of rice to rent grain! Anything below my food will never be added!"
At last, the people erupted in thunderous cheers, clapping loudly in celebration and shouting loudly - "Never give, never give!"
The crowd was boiling, and the rolling cheers lasted for a long time. Xiao Yunhe stood on the wooden cart. He felt that the cheers in front of him could shock his heart more than the roar from thousands of troops.
The people either clapped their hands and celebrated, or shouted excitedly, or knelt on the ground and shouted for the Han King Chitose. The scene was a mess. The officials and catchers had been present to maintain order, but they did not move to dissuade anyone, allowing the crowd to riot for a while.
After all, such a scenario is becoming more and more rare.
Cheers are heard. The people who had been a little hesitant to come to Fangping to distribute the grain before all ran out of their homes and joined the cheering team together. More than 800 villagers. Although nearly half of the desert escaped, there were still more than 2,000 people, and the more noisy they became, the scene was boiling.
Ju Wenzhen stood not far from Xiao Yunhe, but shook her head and sighed alone. Gao Gu glanced at him and said in an urn voice, "Why does it seem that you are the only one who is unhappy?"
"Can I be happy, me?" said Ju Wenzhen with a sad face, "My lord." And you people, all of you don't know that firewood, rice, oil, and salt are expensive. If you return what you have finally received, you will also be exempted from paying tribute and rent for two years...... What are we going to eat for these people in the Han Wangfu?!"
Gao Gu smiled: "There are more things to eat." Figuratively, the noodles in the noodle restaurant in the West Market. Those fried spring rolls, as well as Jiangnan rice porridge, lotus leaf chicken, etc. Either way. I'm not a picky eater. β
Ju Wenzhen glared at him hatefully: "You better stop talking!"
Wu Yuanheng has been standing quietly aside, and his face is always the kind of signature smile like spring and snow. It can be seen from the eyes that he is also a little excited.
After a long time, the crowd gradually quieted down. Only then did the villagers kneel down to Xiao Yunhe in unison and shouted loudly: "Thank you, Lord Han, Chitose!"
"Folks, get up. Xiao Yunhe said, "You don't have to thank me for anything, I'm just forgiving my sins." The wrong things I did before have brought irreparable loss and pain to the villagers, and I feel deeply remorseful. Seeing that winter is coming, it is cold. I will ask the people in the house to buy a set of winter clothes for each of the villagers, which is also to express my heart. Later, I asked Baojia and the lieutenant to report the number of people in each household. Make it clear whether it's a man or a woman, an adult or a child. After I return to the capital, I will do my best to procure these clothes and send them back to everyone. β
The people of the "Han Wang ......" were really moved at this time, and many old people, children and women were so excited that they shed tears and kowtowed again and again.
"Get up, get up, get up!" Xiao Yunhe got out of the car, walked up to a few old people, helped them up, and said, "Fellow villagers, land is the lifeblood of your life, and it is also the lifeblood of the land of the Great Qi National Fortune, and it cannot be wasted! If there are any difficulties and troubles in next year's spring ploughing, even if you raise it, I will definitely find a way to help you solve it, okay? As well as those villagers who have gone out to escape the wasteland, you can also bring them a letter. Tell them about the situation here. Sue them, it's good to be at home for a thousand days, but it's hard to be away for a day. Where, not as good as hometown. What's more, in the future, everyone will have a field to plant, food to eat, and clothes to wear. If you are diligent and conscientious, and weave a variety of mulberry cloth with a variety of grains, you will not lack money to spend. β
The people immediately cheered: "Han Wang Chitose!"
Xiao Yunhe laughed, and the heaviness and depression in his heart were finally swept away.
This feeling seems to be more comfortable than winning a big battle. He shouted at the place where the grain was distributed, "Start distributing the grain!"
"Oh!" the people and the servants all let out a burst of cheers, and then opened the bags of rice and white flour and distributed them.
Ju Wenzhen just cried on the side and muttered: "If you don't collect tribute, it's just that, and you have to give out winter clothes...... This adult, why is he like a loser? There are so many things in the house, how much can you withstand the toss?!"
Gao Gu, who has never said much, laughed again at this time: "Ju Wenzhen, why don't you go and sell yourself?"
"Get out!" said Ju Wenzhen, furious.
Xiao Yunhe walked over at this time. Seeing the scene of the two of them, he had already guessed eight or nine, and said with a smile: "What's wrong Ju Wenzhen, you seem to be unhappy with the boss?"
"The villain doesn't dare to ......" Ju Wenzhen still cried with a sad face, and lowered her voice and said, "My lord, let's go to this family." It's not that you don't know. How much squandered the 100,000 yuan that the emperor rewarded there? Now that there is no rent to collect for two years, do these people from the Han Palace's mansion want to drink the northwest wind?"
"Hehehe!" Xiao Yunhe laughed, "You don't have to worry about these things." Later we went home. Go and do this matter: Isn't there 2,800 households in my food town? Return all the tribute and rent of these people, and then give each of them a set of winter clothes for the winter, and distribute 30 catties of grain to each of them. Remember, you can't discount anything. β
"But...... There's not enough money to spend!" Ju Wenzhen was really about to go crazy, and she was about to cry when she pouted her face like a child. "There are 2,800 households, not to mention 10,000 people...... 10,000 sets of winter clothes, then at least 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. And that's not even counting the money for hired cars. Food is now skyrocketing, and the government still has to spend daily expenses...... My lord, how do you let the villain make this account room a spending method?"
Xiao Yunhe frowned slightly, and said, "Oh, it's indeed a little bit of trouble...... But it doesn't matter, you just let it go, you don't have to worry about money. I'll figure it out. In a word. This thing cannot be discounted in any way and must be done before the winter solstice. Let me give you an analogy, the Han Wangfu is like a big tree, and Yongye Tian and these tenants are the soil. If the soil is destroyed. Can the big tree of the Han Wangfu still live?"
When Ju Wenzhen heard Xiao Yunhe say this, she had to nod helplessly: "The villain can naturally only listen to the orders of the adults." β
"Hmm. Xiao Yunhe looked at Ju Wenzhen and smiled. This is Ju Wenzhen. Although his heart is a little smaller, he is finally focused on protecting the Lord. He didn't think too much about things for the country and the people, he only knew that it was for the good of King Han. It is useless to tell him too many big truths, use the analogy of a big tree and soil, and I believe he will understand the stakes in this.
However, this money ...... Indeed a problem to be solved!
It was nearly noon that the food was distributed. The people returned to their homes happily, and the long-lost smoke rose from every house and began to cook and eat. Although the food distributed by each person is only a few dozen catties, it makes them even happier that they have hope for the future. You don't have to pay rent and tribute, and whatever you earn in the land is all your own. This kind of good thing has never happened in a lifetime!
Xiao Yunhe felt as if something was always missing. After thinking about it carefully, it turned out that the child had never come to receive food. Xiao Yunhe had already divided his grain and put it here, and he was afraid that he would not be able to carry fifty or sixty catties of rice, and he was ready to let someone help him carry it. But now the bag of grain is still there, and it seems that he did not come to receive it.
Xiao Yunhe asked the two people for directions, and together with Wu Yuanheng, Ju Wenzhen, Gao Gu and others, he planned to go to his house to have a look.
Under the guidance of the villagers, the group came to the door of the little girl's house. A thatched hut that was about to fall to the ground, with a fence and a mess in the garden, not even a gate. Xiao Yunhe walked to the door of his house, but heard the sound of someone talking from inside. When I walked in, I saw that there were five or six people gathered around a couch, talking in a low voice. And the little maid knelt down on the edge of the couch and sobbed lowly, it seemed that he had been crying for a long time, and he had no strength.
"What's going on?" Xiao Yunhe stepped forward and asked.
"Ah, King Han......" The villagers were about to kneel, but they were stopped by Xiao Yunhe. He looked at the bed, and the little girl was lying on the couch covered in water, her pale forehead and face full of broken marks. Look at it, but it looks like dead!
The villagers replied, "My mother, I climbed out of the couch, drilled into the well, and committed suicide!"
"What?!" Xiao Yunhe was taken aback and stepped forward to take a closer look. Indeed, this poor woman was dead.
Xiao Yunhe sighed: "How can she be like this? The little girl is still young, but she left her like this......? This king was just about to come and apologize to her in person and give her the pension she had returned, but she didn't even give me this opportunity!"
Speaking of this, Xiao Yunhe sighed again, very sad and lonely.
The villagers next to him said: "King Han, the little lady is a very kind and wise woman. She's ...... I don't want to worry about this hard-working child anymore!"
"Hey!" Xiao Yunhe punched his fist and sighed regretfully.
Wu Yuanheng walked up to Xiao Yunhe and said, "People can't be resurrected after death, and King Han doesn't have to blame himself too much." These things can't be blamed entirely on King Han. β
Xiao Yunhe shook his head regretfully, walked out of the bedroom and wanted to take a breath next to him, but he accidentally saw that there was actually a portrait enshrined in the only thatched house. He stepped forward with some confusion, took a closer look, and suddenly said in astonishment-"Fang Xuanling!"
"This ......," Xiao Yunhe said in astonishment, "Why is Fang Xuanling's portrait enshrined in the little girl's house?"
The villagers who knew about it hurriedly came up and said, "The little guy is surnamed Fang." Liang Gong, the Zhenguan of Daqi, is their ancestor. Later, Fang Lianggong's second son, Fang Yiai, rebelled with Princess Gaoyang and was killed, but his brother Fang Yizhi was meritorious because of the report, but he was only demoted to a commoner and left his life. Then, a branch of the Fang family settled into our Xixia Village, where they have been farming for generations. And in their home, the portrait of Fang Lianggong has been enshrined for generations. The father of the little man was a man, and he was killed in battle. Only the mother and son were left behind. The people in our village respected them and often helped them, so they let their mother and son survive the past two years. β
Gao Yang, you evil obstacle! Xiao Yunhe gritted his teeth, scolded angrily in his heart, and clenched his fists and became excited. Everyone was puzzled, and they all looked at him in amazement.
Xiao Yunhe tried his best to calm his mood, walked to the little girl who was kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly, pulled his elbow, and said softly: "Little girl, don't be too sad. It's also a relief that your mother went like this. You have to fight for yourself, survive well, and live like a person, and your mother will be happy when she has a spirit in the sky, understand?"
The little maid straightened up weakly, wiped her face full of tears, nodded and said: "Thank you Lord Hanwang, the little maid must live well, live for my mother, and let her open" Wait, I will arrange for someone to buy a coffin and bury your mother. Xiao Yunhe let out a long sigh and said, "Little girl, from today onwards, you will follow me!"
I don't get tired of asking you to recommend votes to support ...... Don't blame!
Everyone was taken aback when they heard Xiao Yunhe say this. Following King Han, this is simply a dream of a great thing!
Immediately, a villager squatted down to the little maid and said, "Little maid, don't thank King Han soon! From today onwards, you will follow him, and you will have a great future without worrying about food and clothing!"
"But, but!" the little man's thin and sloppy little face showed embarrassment and embarrassment, and murmured, "I don't know anything! I can only wash clothes, cook and sweep the floor, and I can't grow crops." β
"It's okay, little girl. Xiao Yunhe squatted down, caressed the little girl's head lovingly, and said softly, "No, you can learn." I will let people teach you, and you can teach you whatever you want to learn. As long as you study hard and seriously, you will definitely be able to make great achievements in the future. This is worthy of your dead father and dead mother, you know?"
"Hmm......" As soon as the little girl heard about her father, tears overflowed in her eyes again, and she choked up, "I just want my mother to wake up and eat a meal of white rice porridge that I cooked!"
As soon as the little girl said this, many villagers next to her sighed and burst into tears. The little boy really inherited his mother's kindness and simplicity, which is touching.
Xiao Yunhe also felt a little sad, wiped the tears on his face for the little servant, and said, "It's okay, your mother can eat it." She is a good person, she can fly to the sky when she dies, and she can eat whatever she wants from then on. Moreover, she will not be paralyzed, she can walk and fly. She will be in the sky, quietly watching you and smiling. Therefore, you must live hard and hard, and don't let your mother down. You know what?"
