Chapter Eighty-Seven: Floods are merciless, but people are merciful

In a tavern in Jiangling, Liu Chong looked at the passers-by who came and went leisurely, and sighed softly: "Hey, the Northern Dong Alliance, the war is not endless, but the people here have no impact, even Zhao Yun came to the east, these people don't seem to be worried at all." It can be seen that the comfort of Jingzhou people is a kind of happiness and a kind of misfortune.

Liu Pet fled all the way back from Wushan, and waited here in Jiangling for Gan Ning, Liu Fu and others to come and meet. At this time, Liu Pet was no longer afraid of any conspiracy of the Cai family and the Wu family, Liu Pet decided to wait until Gan Ning, and then go home immediately, Lao Tzu cares about you so many idle things.

The weather in April and May was originally a quiet season, but today is very strange. Just after the spring ploughing, the rain has been falling non-stop, although it is not big, but it is not ready to continue.

Wu Shi heard Liu Chong's words beside him, and raised his head and asked, "Why did King Chen say that, isn't it good to be comfortable, you see how happy everyone is." ”

Liu Pet: "Born in sorrow, died in peace." When a strong enemy invades one year, do you think they can resist it, that's what I mean by misfortune. ”

"Lord, look who I'm bringing here." Dian Wei ran up from three steps downstairs, and there was surprise in his voice.

Liu Pet didn't look back, subconsciously: "Tell you to settle the account, you can bring ---" Liu Pet turned his head slowly, and what he said suddenly stopped, and then he stood up in surprise and joy, and stepped forward to hug the leader: "Xingba." Then Liu Pet heard a faint voice a little farther away: "King Chen, woo woo woo, I'm also ---" The slug Liu Fu also stood up.

Liu Pet laughed, although Gan Ning was embarrassed up and down at this time, and there were still a few knife wounds, it was not in the way, and his spirit was still there. I saw Gan Ning: "Lord, I'm back, it's just that there are only these people left." Pointing to the fact that there were only about twenty people downstairs, Gan Ning felt a little sad in his heart. Hundreds of Linjiang brothers, that's all left, the war is ruthless.

When everyone arrived, Liu Pet was about to leave immediately, just like what he said just now, he didn't want to stay here for a minute.

"I don't want to go to Xiangyang, God knows what kind of son I can conjure up when I pass by Xiangyang. We took the waterway, down the Yangtze River, from Yangzhou back to Runan, and then back to Chenguo, what do you say? ”

Gan Ning: "Lord, we listen to you, it's good to take the waterway, the twenty people under the command of the last general are all dragons in the water, as long as they avoid the big army, the ordinary people can't help us, just take the waterway, and it is very simple to hire a boat here." ”

Liu Pet: "Okay, that Xingba, you quickly go to prepare with Liu Fu, and after an hour, we will leave." ”

Liu Pet and Gan Ning discussed with them, and they spoke very quietly, so that others could not hear them. But when Liu Pet stood up and Gan Ning and they went out, Liu Pet was surprised to hear Wu ask softly: "King Chen doesn't plan to return to Yuzhou from Jingzhou?" Then Wu analyzed it himself: "If you don't go to Jingzhou, you can only go back from Yangzhou, ouch, King Chen has to take a lot of waterways, and when you get to Huainan, you have to take a lot of dry roads." ”

Liu Pet's eyes narrowed, and the whereabouts of the Wu family were known, Liu Pet always felt that his heart was not steady, these people were too secretive, and they were ruthless and unsympathetic.

See the Wu family again: "King Chen is relieved, my Wu family and King Chen are friends, not enemies, and King Chen doesn't have to be so defensive about us." In this way, King Chen, in order to show sincerity, this is our Wu family's property in Lujiang, if King Chen needs anything on the road, you can ask them for it. Saying that, Wu threw a wooden plaque to Liu Chong.

Liu Chong frowned, but the Wu family had already stood up and left, and it seemed that this was going to be separated. I don't know why, Liu Pet looked at Wu's delicate back, and was a little reluctant. Then Liu Pet shook his head violently: "Mom, how can I have such a thought, looking for death." Put away the wooden card, drank tea quietly, and waited for Gan Ning to come back.

The waterway of the Yangtze River, down the river, is as fast as flying. Along the way, Liu Pet and his entourage tried to keep a low profile, and at the same time, Liu Pet was surprised to find that this Gan Ning was definitely a fierce general in the water, and he was clear and orderly about the waterway. So until Liu Pet and they were about to go ashore and had arrived in Huainan, nothing happened, and they didn't even meet a single water thief.

The boatman couldn't help but look at Gan Ning brightly, shocked as a god.

Just as Liu Pet got off the dock, he suddenly heard a group of people in front of him talking.

"Oh my God, hey, the Huai River bursts, the canal is overflowing, I don't know how many people are going to suffer this year, hey, this Huainan business can't go on, I'm planning to go to Jingzhou to see."

"Yes, miserable, I heard that at least 100,000 homeless people are homeless, if you want me to see, it will be another Yellow Turban Uprising."

"Ouch, you be quiet, don't die, you can say this kind of thing."

Liu Pet was shocked, at this time there was crackling rain in the sky, it seemed that the Huainan area was really flooded.

After walking north for a few more days, when he arrived in Hefei, Liu Chong was completely shocked that the Huaihai area had become Shuize. Everywhere there were homeless people dressed in tatters, dragging their families to the south, and when they saw people, they rushed up to ask for food.

In a corner of the crowd where no one was looking, two rough men, one look at the hands and knew that they were the farmer. At this time, the two of them looked dull, with unspeakable unbearability, and hesitated to talk.

"You take my toddler away tonight, I'm hungry, the boss must live."

Another: "Okay. ”

Suddenly, the first one said: "What about you, how old is your child?" If you are too old, the meat will be bitter. ”

"I don't have any children anymore."

"What? Do you want to trap the white wolf? ”

"But my newly married mother-in-law will give you and sleep with you at night."

"It's all at this time, whoever wants a mother-in-law, who still has the heart to do that, they can't support themselves, what do you want your mother-in-law to do."

"My mother-in-law is the daughter of a rich family, and I married me when I was broken, I am tender and tender, make do with it, and there is a lot more meat than your child."

The topic of conversation between the two men is so infiltrating, exchanging cannibalism. Because I can't bear to eat my relatives, I exchange them, so maybe my psychology will be a little better. This is how the ancient idiom 'Yi Zi eats' came from. But when necessary, not only children, but also women can be changed.

Liu Chong felt uncomfortable with a compassionate person, but at this time, his eyes couldn't leave here. Gan Ning and the others all felt Liu Pet's heaviness, and suddenly, Liu Pet stood up and took out a small wooden card: "Liu Fu, you go back, go to Lujiang, and negotiate a deal with them, just say that the three thousand weapons that the Wu family should give us last time are gone, all of them are replaced with grain, and there is as much grain as there is to be on credit." ”

Liu Fu was startled, and then jumped up excitedly: "Okay." ”

Gan Ning and others also understood that Liu Pet was going to provide disaster relief. Immediately, everyone was alive and busy.

In an instant, three days later, the Huainan area began to spread, in Hefei, Lujiang and other places have appeared in the place of righteous porridge, Chen Wang Liu Pet for everyone free porridge, for a month.

In Chengde, Huainan Chengde, a personable man, looked up at the sky with a scroll, and said softly: "The flood is ruthless, but people are affectionate." King Chen, one day, I want to see him. ”
