039 This time and this time

Of course, it's good to eat rabbits, but the question is whether you can catch them.

Li Ping'an also failed to give Xiao Ruyi a definite answer, but said: "Then let's see if I can catch it tomorrow, Xiao Ruyi hurried to sleep, and told Grandpa Mountain God in his dream to send you a rabbit, okay?" ”

"Good!" Xiao Ruyi immediately closed her eyes, but after a while, she opened them again, "Cauldron, when can we go home, it's not comfortable to sleep here at all." ”

Ji Xiang also said: "Big brother, I miss my little bed so much." ”

"Big brother, I want to go home too." Xinglong followed.

"It's going to be fast, we'll be able to go down when the flood waters recede." Li Ping'an could only comfort them like this, "Go to sleep, wake up and sleep for a day, and the flood will recede as soon as the days pass." ”

"Uh-huh, Ruyi sleeps, Ruyi also has to tell Grandpa Mountain God, let the big villain of the flood go away!"

Seeing that they all closed their eyes, Li Ping'an turned his head to look down the mountain, and he didn't know how many days the flood would recede.

……

At this moment, there is also a person in the capital who is concerned about when the flood water will recede.

In the well-organized imperial city, on the platform in front of the main hall of the East Palace, a beautifully dressed young man stood facing the south, his noble face was full of melancholy, mixed with anger.

For a long time, he sighed.

The day before yesterday, it was reported that many places in Yuanzhou, Zhenzhou, and Huzhou had not experienced heavy rains for decades, and the water level of the Jinjiang River had soared. Today's emergency report shows that the Jinjiang River has broken in a large area, and the seven states on both sides of the strait have been seriously affected, with unknown losses and unknown casualties.

When his father, who was in poor health and was recuperating today, saw the report, he fell into a coma on the spot and has not woken up yet.

The disaster relief should have started immediately, but many ministers in the court and the central government were only concerned about the safety of their fathers and emperors, and summoned them to discuss disaster relief matters.

How can he not see their careful thinking, since the founding of the Great Jing Dynasty, in order to reunify the country to regain lost territory, fighting year after year, this year's spring army went out again, the dynasty has never rested, and the recovered places have been tax-free and tax reduction to return to the people's hearts, and now the treasury has long been empty, and the imperial court has not been able to come up with money and grain at all.

When food was collected and transferred from all over the country, I don't know how many refugees starved to death. And hundreds of thousands of people in the seven states, how much food do they need, and how much can they save?

No one is stupid, they all know that this is a thankless task, and no one wants to take it on.

In the evening, there was a report from the secret guard, and rumors spread in the capital, saying that the prince had only been in charge of the country for a few months before the flood, which was a warning from heaven that the prince was not virtuous. What's more, it is said that this is God's punishment for the emperor who mutinied and ascended to the throne as a minister.

He didn't know where the rumors came from, but he knew that there were not a few people staring at that throne, and there were many ambitious people among them, looking forward to his father's death and wanting to emulate his father's actions back then.

But these careerists never thought that the catastrophe should save the people first, and only thought that they should use the disaster to realize their ambitions.

The young prince's face changed, and after thinking about it, he finally made up his mind, turned around and called the chamberlain, and hurriedly walked down the white stone steps into the night.

Someone has to do things, since the courtiers have different minds and refuse to take over, then the East Palace will personally go to the disaster relief, and the people of the Dajing Dynasty are still waiting for the court to send someone to save it.

……

The next morning, a ray of sunlight broke through the black clouds and shone on the roof of the straw hut.

After days of hazy weather, the villagers cheered as if they had seen hope, their faces were full of vibrant smiles, and they looked very energetic in their words and deeds.

Li Ping'an was also happy, but it didn't take long for him to suddenly think that it didn't seem to be a good thing for the sun to come out, as the temperature increased, the faster the corpse would decompose, and it would be easier to breed germs. And the demand for water will increase.

On second thought, there are plenty of examples that prove that germs do not easily survive and spread in hot weather.

Forget it, I don't want to, anyway, I can only accept it, is it possible that he can still stuff the sun back?

Xu saw the hope of survival, and when Chen Song told the villagers that he planned to organize Qingzhuang to follow Zhang Yu into the mountains to dig traps and hunt, after analyzing the pros and cons, there were not a few villagers who responded.

Li Ping'an also found that among the villagers who responded, there were those who cheekily begged him for venison yesterday, and those men also found that Li Ping'an was looking at them, and glared at them fiercely.

It seems to say: don't think you can catch your prey, we can too!

Li Ping'an smiled and nodded at them.

Of course, there are also people who are unwilling, either afraid of accidents, or have already planned a way to survive and just wait to go down the mountain, or other reasons. Chen Song didn't persuade much about this, he had already figured out that it was unrealistic to want to keep everyone, only those who wanted to save themselves could unite to fight a way out, and those who wanted to sit back and enjoy their success, forcibly pulling into the team would only make the team fall apart faster.

It seemed to be alive all of a sudden, Zhang Yu told them about the precautions, and then nearly a hundred strong men happily entered the mountain, and one by one the birds flapped their wings and flew up from the forest.

"So many birds!" Li Ping'an said in surprise, "Zhang Xiaoshan, go, go and find the bird's nest!" ”

"It's pitch black, how do you find it!" Zhang Xiaoshan complained that the sunlight in the forest couldn't shine in, and it was dark when he looked up, and he couldn't see clearly at all.

Li Ping'an suddenly felt embarrassed, and hurriedly changed the topic, "Then go and see our trap, I told Xiao Ruyi a rabbit story last night, she wants to eat rabbits, let me catch one back." ”

"You really have nothing to do, tell her a rabbit story, if she wants to eat a rabbit, you will catch her, then when does she want to eat a tiger, can you still catch a tiger for her?" said so, but Zhang Xiaoshan was very honest and followed Li Ping'an into the forest.

Although a large army had just walked by, Li Ping'an was still more cautious when he walked in front, and while vigilantly observing the surroundings, he said to Zhang Xiaoshankou: "I can't fight a tiger, maybe my father and my father will carry a tiger out today." ”

"How dare you think about it!"

"Coward, can't even think about it."

“???”

Zhang Xiaoshan is very sad, why is he the first to break the defense every time he fights with Li Ping'an?

When he arrived at the location of the trap, Li Ping'an was immediately happy, lying on the ground and reaching in to lift up a cold rabbit, and said to Zhang Xiaoshan in a loud voice: "See, dare to think, just talking about rabbits, isn't there a rabbit?" ”

"Excuse me?"

"Are you big! It's not enough to have a rabbit, you really want a tiger? Don't be so greedy, okay! ”

"Didn't you say that? You also said to dare to think! ”

"At that time, people should not be too greedy, be content and happy, Zhang Xiaoshan."

"I won't talk to you anymore, I'm mad!" Zhang Xiaoshan snorted angrily and squatted down with his hands folded, camouflaging the trap mouth again, "This trap has been harvested for two consecutive days, and it must be our blessed land." ”

didn't hear Li Ping'an's response, he turned his head worriedly, and saw that Li Ping'an was looking at him with a smile, and suddenly became angry, "Why is it silent, I thought something happened to you." ”

Li Ping'an blinked narrowly, "Are you talking to me?" ”

"It's not! I'm talking to that dead rabbit in your hand! "This dead Li Ping'an will only be angry with me! You're just me off, and you can sweep one more grave!
