Among the scholars, some of them are indeed less knowledgeable and knowledgeable, but there are also many shrewd, capable and determined people, who have already decided to go north to Liaodong County to have a look.

But Old Man Lu's words raised them high and put them in a dilemma.

His words were a layer of restraint for the scholars in the south, and they were very uncomfortable.

However, the words of the shopkeeper of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce untied this shackle and gave them the right to choose again.

Suddenly, countless people of insight were full of good feelings about the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce.

Moreover, the remarks of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce quickly spread under the spread of well-intentioned people.

Gu Huaisheng naturally heard about it, so when he went to the appointment, he deliberately arrived early to show his sincerity.

At that time, in the entire hall, Ji's father and son were talking to a young man.

After Gu Huaisheng came in, Ji Wuyin introduced both parties.

"Steward Liu, this is Gu Huaisheng, the young master of the Gu family."

"Young Master Gu, this is Liu Erxi, one of the stewards of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, and he is responsible for the sale of the threshing machine."

"I'm glad I will."

"Look up for a long time, look up for a long time."

After the two sides were seated, Ji Wuyin spoke again, "Young Master Gu, there is still a master here from the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce who has not yet arrived, let's have a cup of tea first and wait for him?" ”

"Okay."

Then, in the casual chatting of several people, they couldn't help but mention the public opinion that is churning in the south.

Gu Huaisheng couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "The Liaodong Chamber of Commerce's move is powerful to attack the shield with the spear of the son." ”

Speaking from the heart, Old Man Lu's speech at the Nandi Restaurant really grasped the seven inches of the reader.

Old Man Lu took advantage of the scholars' deep love for the Southlands and kidnapped them, so that they would not be able to leave the Southlands at this time.

The people of Liaodong County also took advantage of the deep love of the scholars for Nandi, telling them that their departure was because they were sensible, one was to resolutely not increase the burden on Nandi, and the other was to learn skills and come back to benefit the township.

This reason really made Old Man Lu, Xie Zhan and the people in the government unspeakable.

The point is that these scholars not only left the Southland by themselves, but also called their friends to go with them, which is outrageous.

I don't know if the sick old man Lu will be so angry that he will vomit blood when he learns about this situation.

For his compliment, Liu Er smiled and said nothing, this is all trivial, I think that at the beginning, Mrs. Qin Liu directly turned a village into a singles village in a few words.

At this time, Xue Xu was late, "Sorry, I'm late." ”

Gu Huaisheng stood up suddenly, "Mr. Xue, I didn't expect you to come back to the southland." ”

Xue Xu smiled, "Haven't I been there all along?" Previously, Chen Jiaye also took the family elite to the pilgrim street at the foot of Fuxian Temple Mountain to surround me. ”

Gu Huaisheng smiled bitterly and begged for mercy, "Mr. Xue, don't laugh at me, if this is not enough, I can't see that this is Xie Zhan's strategy, and it is also the beginning of the chaos in the south, and I, the young master of the Gu family, are too stupid." ”

Xue Xu sat down, and he sat down in the empty seat they had left.

Gu Huaisheng: "It turns out that Mr. Xue has gone to the north to seek development in the past few years? ”

Xue Xu did not deny it, "Trees die, people live, people have to live, don't they?" ”

Gu Huaisheng has a relative, "Mr. Xue's words make sense. ”

Then the two sides talked about the sale of the threshing machine.

Liu Erxi boldly proposed, "The threshing machines we shipped to the south have been sold out." Young Master Gu, otherwise, you will arrange for someone to go north with us, right? Go to our Liaodong County to see the goods in person, how about we give you a cost price? ”

First fool people to Liaodong County, and then hand over the rest to Mrs. Qin Liu.

Gu Huaisheng was silent.

At this time, Ji Wuyin on the side said to him, "The nephew can think about it, the eldest of our family will also go north this time, you arrange someone, and it just so happens that they can still have a companion." ”

Gu Huaisheng was stunned, Ji Dashao also wants to go north? Then he thought for a while, and then said, "Okay, then I'll let my cousin take a trip, and ask Ji Dashao to take care of him on the way." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."

Xue Xu and Ji Wuyin glanced at each other, with a smile in their eyes.

Outside the Southland City Gate

Countless refugees were disheveled, dressed in rags, in groups of three or five, sitting or lying, without exception, all of them with blank eyes. The crowd was occasionally mixed with the cries of children and the uncomfortable moans of patients.

Yue Shu carried a bucket of water in one hand and walked along the muddy road to their family's temporary residence. The water in the bucket is slightly muddy, not as clear as the previous well water, but much better than the current river water.

He walked all the way, ignoring the countless wistful glances that the bucket of water had drawn from him.

The refugees looked at his tall figure and silently withdrew their gaze.

Yue Shu came to the south side of a sloping land not far away, where he simply built a shed with wood, clothes that had been picked up and washed with a little pulp, and leaves, and a layer of stones was laid on the ground. Two more planks were laid out from the flood, barely enough to hold people.

This is the temporary residence of their family of twelve, who have been living here for more than half a month. All around their homes are people from the same village.

Their Yue's family, including their entire Yuejia village, was flooded.

Their Yue's family was the first group to abandon their homes and leave the village, so the casualties were relatively light, and they also brought out some survival materials. And those who left late, many died in the flood.

"The water is coming back? I'll burn it. Yue Shu's wife, Zhou, said.

Yue Shu carried the bucket and poured a little into the clay pot, and the clay pot was almost full.

Zhou Shi shouted inside, "Ajie, wait a little longer, there will be hot water to drink in a while." ”

After they left the village, their stomachs hurt from time to time. Rural life is cheap, and no one takes it seriously. Later, this stomach trouble became more and more frequent, but now that they are like this, they have no way to see the doctor, so they can only endure it.

But a few days ago, when Yue Shu took his son Yue Jie to fetch water, he met a young man.

The young man glanced at nine-year-old Yue Jie, said that he had insect spots on his face, and there should be worms in his stomach, and took out one or two pagoda-shaped white sugar from his arms and handed them to them.

Yue Shu was suspicious, so he broke a little bit to try, and after about a quarter of an hour, there was no problem, so he dared to give it to the child.

The next day, looking at the things that the child pulled out, he realized that what the boy said was true.

He remembered that when the young man left, he glanced at the water he was carrying, and said casually that there were insects in the raw water that they could not see with the naked eye, and asked them to boil the water as much as possible in the future and drink it, and not drink raw water again.

He hurriedly told his family about it.

Lately, they have all boiled the water and drank it, and although it was a little troublesome, they really didn't have any more stomach problems.
