"You fled because of the plague?" Li Erlin asked very directly.

Wang Jiale was a little distracted, but when he thought that the man in front of him was just a peasant, he didn't mind the other party's wording, and the other party was not wrong, they said on their faces that they were going to Yuezhou to join the second master, but the fact is that the plague in Fuping County is too powerful, and they don't dare to stay.

Seeing the nobleman nodding, Li Erlin inquired about some news about the plague again, and Steward Wang didn't talk much, but he answered all questions.

Li Ping'an also pricked up his ears to listen, it is also Linjiang County, because the Jinjiang Breach is not in Fuping County, so the disaster situation is not as serious as Linhu County, and even the county seat has been destroyed.

After the disaster, the parents and officials of Fuping County quickly opened a warehouse to release grain, and set up a porridge shed outside the city to give porridge to the people who survived the flood, who would have thought that the real disaster would come, and within five days, the plague broke out intensively, and the people in the city died in large numbers outside the city, and there were dead bodies everywhere.

Steward Wang finally said with a sad face, the people of the county government of Fuping County are dead from top to bottom, and the county seat of Fuping County is now a lifeless empty city.

Fortunately, their lord was used to living in the countryside, far away from the county seat, so he avoided a catastrophe, but he also had to drag his family south to Yuezhou to join the second master.

？？？

They also went to Yuezhou?

Li Erlin, Li Ping'an and the others suddenly looked ugly, does this mean that they can always meet them every day in the future?

Although the other party just said that there is no need to be nervous and panicked, the pressure brought by the other party is too great, even if to a certain extent, because of the existence of the other party, Li Ping'an and they don't need to worry too much about the disturbance of other homeless people as before, but in the eyes of Li Erlin and others, the other party is more threatening than ordinary homeless.

After all, ordinary homeless people are basically ordinary people, even if they have the strength to go hungry for so long and flee for so long, they are already exhausted, and even if they want to do evil, they are just like them. But the group of people in front of them are not, those guards have bright eyes, according to Chen Liang's vigilant position, the standing position is quite orderly, people just don't have bad intentions, in case of a conflict, Li Erlin and the strong men on their side will not be enough to kill the other side.

And then it did, one day, two days, three days...... For several days, they obviously did not travel together, but the places where they stayed overnight were surprisingly consistent, which made Li Erlin and others happy and worried.

The good thing is that people do not seem to have any ill thoughts about them, and the two sides have been peaceful; The worry is that the other party seems to be eyeing them, sometimes they have found a place to settle down in advance, and the back feet of others have also followed, and they have settled in advance, and even what is the king master called the king housekeeper to come over and ask why he rested in advance......

Li Erlin was a little embarrassed to think about whether they had anything worth coveting by the other party, or how could the other party seem to rely on them.

I'm really afraid that this kind of peaceful situation is deliberately done by them.

"Cauldron, do we still play games?" Xiao Ruyi and Jixiang looked at Li Ping'an with a smile, and Jixiang was still followed by Xinglong.

Li Ping'an hurriedly waved his hand, he really couldn't afford to play, if he continued to play, when he arrived in Yuezhou, he would have to bleed profusely.

Xiao Ruyi pouted, Jixiang and Xinglong were also a little disappointed, Li Ping'an saw a soft heart, "Then play for the last time, and I won't play from tomorrow." ”

The little one suddenly became happy, and the little Ruyi got carried away, jumping and clapping his palms and cheering.

"Ruyi, you lost."

"Huh?"

Xiao Ruyi reacted at this time, hugged her head in annoyance, and was about to cheat, but was predicted by Li Ping'an, "You can't cheat, the eldest brother didn't cheat when he lost before, if you cheat, then the eldest brother owes you the candy before you don't count." ”

The little girl stood on the spot with her mouth open, snorted after a while, and squatted down aggrievedly and drew circles on the dirt with her fingers.

At this time, Steward Wang came over again, this time not alone, followed by a strong man carrying a sack.

"Brother Li."

Although it was not the first time that he had heard Steward Wang call Li Erlin, every time he heard it, Li Ping'an couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly. Because he always thinks of the history of the first emperor Li Er in his previous life because of this title.

"Steward Wang, what are you?" Li Erlin didn't dare to call Steward Wang a brother and a brother, his eyes swept over the sack in the strong man's hand, and he asked with respectful puzzlement in his tone.

Taking Li Erlin's expression in his eyes, Steward Wang replied with a kind smile: "My master said that the same road is fate, and seeing that you eat less, and there are many old and young in the team, he ordered me to send five buckets of rice to you." ”

One bucket of twelve catties, five buckets and sixty catties, that is, half a stone of rice, Li Ping'an and their party will be more than 100, saving two or three days to eat, in the current disaster world, it can be said to be a very weighty gift.

Although Li Erlin was moved, but it was useless, they were just in the same place, and they happened to be on the same road, and they only communicated with Steward Wang a few times, and the old man Wang didn't see what he looked like clearly, and the other party wanted to give them half a stone of rice grain, he didn't dare to accept it, and he couldn't accept it.

"Don't push it off, it's not difficult for us to buy food." Steward Wang is doing the business of serving people, and he has a handle in his hand when he observes words and looks, and he doesn't wait for Li Erlin to open his mouth to refuse, he speaks first, "It's not a secret, our second master is the Taishou of Yuezhou, and the elite of the Huzhou Prefecture army who escorted us all the way is also the elite of the Huzhou Prefecture army, and they have other tasks in the county towns they pass through along the way, even if the city gate is closed, we can get in, and we don't have to worry about not being able to buy food." ”

Li Ping'an and the others were stunned, although they had guessed that the other party's identity was not simple, but they really didn't dare to think that it was so big.

The Dajing Dynasty followed the two-level system of states and counties in the previous dynasty, and Taishou was the chief official of a state, although I don't know how many rank officials it was, but it would certainly not be low. More importantly, what they are going to is Yuezhou.

They actually walked with the relatives of the Yuezhou parents?

After a long time, Li Erlin came back to his senses, and glanced at Steward Wang, who was still smiling and kind, in fear, and as soon as his eyes touched, he immediately lowered his head.

"Don't have any burden, my lord has always been kind-hearted, and he was heartbroken to see so many scrawny victims along the way, and he wanted to give them a little rice and food several times, but he was afraid of causing panic and putting himself and his family in danger. Since we are on the same journey, we can help if we can, the second master is also a good official, you can settle down when you arrive in Yuezhou, my lord hopes that you can arrive in Yuezhou one by one, and live a good life in the future. ”

When Li Erlin heard this, he dispelled the idea of pushing back, the other party was too big, and if he decided to refuse, he was afraid that the other party would be disliked, "In this case, please ask Steward Wang to thank Master Wang on our behalf." ”

Steward Wang smiled and nodded, then turned around and left.

Li Ping'an came to Li Erlin's side, looked at the back of Steward Wang, and whispered, "Dad, do you say they are really kind?" ”

He always felt that it was too unreasonable, could there really be a landlord who was kind to the poor people for no reason?
