"Now there is no food, and there is a plague of insects there, and the people dare not sow seeds easily, for fear that the seedlings that they have worked so hard to plant will be eaten by insects again. ”

"Moreover, Qingzhou was not an area prone to drought at all, only because over the years, the people have been cutting down a large number of trees in order to make more money, which is the cause. ”

Bai Shu sighed, there are no people here, I'm afraid that she has just left with her front foot, and the people behind her are about to make a ruckus, and the people in other places have orders in her body.

"Insect plague?" An Ran remembered the pesticide spray in his previous life, but unfortunately there was no here. She doesn't know much about plants that are both drought-resistant and insect-resistant.

I just vaguely remember that in chemistry class before, the teacher mentioned that lime water has the effect of sterilization and insecticide. Moreover, those pests generally only like black things, just like their dark hearts, so in winter, the trunks of the trees are coated with snow-white lime water, so that the insects in the soil do not dare to climb up.

Why don't you give this method a try?

"Baizhu, do you know what kind of terrain the place in Qingzhou is, the flat land, the mountains?"

"There are a lot of mountains there, and the fields are generally on the mountains. Miss, why are you asking this?" Baizhu answered An Ran's question honestly.

"It's fine in the mountains, you hurry up and prepare some drought-resistant plant seeds, saplings and medicines to stop bleeding and bruises. ”

An Ran was a little glad in her heart, fortunately it was a mountainous area, so she could use local materials. Yu Qianyou, a great poet of the Ming Dynasty, once wrote a poem about lime chanting, which was chiseled out of the deep mountains with thousands of hammers, that is, lime came out of the mountains.

And if lime water doesn't work, she can also go to the mountains over there to find out if she can find the bitter bark vine. The root bark and stem bark of bitter bark vine can also kill insects.

"Miss wants to go to the master?"

"Well, there should be a lot of people watching here, as long as you leave, maybe they will get the news right away, or it would be better for me to go. ”

"But the slave maid must not let the young lady go alone, from here to Qingzhou, maybe something will happen on the way! Moreover, miss, you are also under surveillance now!"

Seeing that An Ran had made up his mind, Baizhu panicked in his heart, if the master knew about it, he wouldn't have cut her skin. What happened to the man in black the other day was a lesson.

"It's okay, Lilac and I are about the same size, during my absence, just let her pretend to be me, try not to go out, anyway, I have been staying in the house a few days ago. Thinking of the drawings of the sewing machine on the table, An Ran wondered for a while, I am afraid that it will be invalidated, although the truth is feasible, but the actual operation is not.

"Miss, isn't there a competition here in a few days?

"I'll go talk to Sister Mi about this first, let her, Sister Hua, and Dongfang Yu be the judges, or let them find a few more people by themselves. ”

"The scoring method is based on a 10-point system, that is, each person has a total score of 10 points, and each judge scores according to their performance, and then removes the highest score, the lowest score, and the rest of the scores are added up, divided by 8, and the final number is her score. ”

"Then what about Mrs. Shangguan's side, isn't Miss going to help her with treatment?" Baizhu still didn't give up, and wanted to persuade An Ran to stay, but he also knew in his heart that he needed someone to help him now.

"Mrs. Shangguan, the sewn medicine bag should be ready. Baizhu, you have also been with me for a while, my sister will be handed over to you temporarily, you remember to do moxibustion fumigation for her every day, and then you can not sit on the smoke, just use the medicine bag. You tell her to pay attention, that is, when she uses it, she should drink more water and walk more. ”

"Replace the medicine bag, and at the same time pay attention to the color. If it is yellow watery excretion, it is the toxin excreted by the pelvis, if it is brown and sticky, it means that the endometrium is inflamed, and if it is white tofu residue, it is mold **** inflammation. ”

"In the process of use, if you have acne on your face and your neck is swollen and painful, these all indicate that the body is detoxifying, don't worry. However, if my sister uses it, she should probably feel abdominal cramps, which is the effect of the medicine that begins to disperse the cold and dampness. ”

"Miss, how can you understand so much?" Bai Shu looked at his princess with wide eyes, not that she looked down on her, but that An Ran had been living in this small village, how could she understand this.

"That's because I'm a good person, and the gods in the sky gave me a dream. An Ran couldn't say that these things were what she looked at from modern books, and while talking nonsense, she turned around to find Liu Mi'er.

Baizhu followed behind, touched his nose, and always had a feeling in his heart, maybe the princess went to find the master this time, it should be a good thing, maybe she could really help the master.

The next day, An Ran dressed in tatters as a man, his face was also blackened with pot ash by himself, a bag containing plant seeds was placed on the dilapidated ox cart, and a few bottles of medicine were carried in his small pocket, and he walked out of the city gate very inconspicuously and went straight to Qingzhou.

As for the food, she thought it would be better not to bring it, and if she got to that place, the hungry people would know about it, and they wouldn't rob it on the spot.

Along the way, An Ran didn't dare to walk on the street, always ate her own dry food, just decorate some water by the river in a water bag, and spend the night in a broken temple outside the city, or in the woods that are not too deep.

Entering the boundary of Qingzhou, the dust is flying in the sky, and there is no green to see. The land cracked, the river broke off, and the bottom of the river sank.

On the side of the road, some ladies with yellow faces and chapped lips sat on the ground with their children in their arms, and the children were crying and crying, which made people's hearts twitch; some were dumbfounded, leaning on the rubble in a daze; some children of four or five years old, wrapped in thick rags, stared at innocent big eyes, licked their lips, and looked curiously at the stranger in front of them.

Seeing this situation, An Ran subconsciously felt that he wanted to run. It's not that she doesn't know about drought, and the two courses she took in high school were history and geography, and when she took the exam, the drought in the Northwest was a must. But it's one thing to know, it's another thing to see with your own eyes.

"Quick, quick, the food has been distributed, and the government has sent food. Hurry up, maybe you won't be able to go late. I don't know where a shout came from, and the crowd that was still sluggish just now began to be agitated, and you pushed me, for fear that as you said, it would be too late to go.

Some people in the crowd fell inattention, but the people who were still squeezing forward behind did not see it, and stepped on it with their feet, and the people who were stepped on the ground could only snort twice without strength, which was useless. An Ran was anxious on the side, but she also knew that now was not the time for her to stand out.

After a while, a team of government officials came, "What is noisy, what is noisy, don't squeeze, everyone has it, don't squeeze!"

The voice landed, but it didn't work. In the crowd, the children's cries were the most obvious, and some were already crying out of breath.

"Grab it, grab it, and we'll be able to live. They only came with a few people, not as many as us. At this time, I don't know which turtle grandson thing suddenly had a bad heart, raised his arms and shouted, to be able to live is too tempting for this group of people who have already been hungry and crazy, maybe let them kill people.

When several officials heard this, they saw the crowd swarming in front of them, and their legs trembled. Recently, they have been so crazy that there have been many group fights in order to fight for something to eat. Coming today, they thought that it would be good if there were more people, but they came to a team, and they didn't do anything.

Safely hid to the side to avoid being swept into the crowd. She craned her neck to look at the man who was taking the lead, heh, interesting. She actually saw that the man had stirred up everyone, and then hid to the side.

An Ran's eyes flashed, and she took a closer look, the man was powerful, although he was dressed in tatters, and his face was the same as that of those hungry people, but she could judge from his skills and feet that this person was not an ordinary refugee.

Looking back at her ox cart, she looked at the situation here, and quietly got the seeds down and hid them, and then quickly slipped away, she didn't want to be beaten by the herd, as for the cow, she could only silently wish it good luck.

At the door of the mansion, Sima Jin received a report that the fan in his hand was broken by him angrily, and the wind was also angry when he stood aside, "What's the matter with these people?

"Go away, go away! Don't you dare to come to the door of the mansion, I have already let you go once last time, if you dare to make trouble again today, see if Lao Tzu doesn't pick your skin!"

When a yacha saw the tattered An Ran, he also thought she was a refugee, and scolded, these bastards are really getting more and more mixed, really when they are easy to bully, or what, I'm embarrassed to do it!

"Master, why don't you let your subordinates go down. Feng asked Sima Jin on the side, this matter must be resolved.

Sima Jin's good-looking eyebrows and eyes glared sharply, "What are you going to do!

"Well, it can't go on like this. ”

"Hmph, let him get away for a few more days. You go and send someone to inform you, and you will say that the food will be distributed at the gate of the government office, and you will wait in line for the king, and everyone will come to receive the food every day, and only receive the food ration for the day. If they only want to live on those bags, they don't want to come in the future, and they don't want him to return the food, and if there is any relief in the future, it will be none of their business. ”

"If you agree with the king's decision, let them give me a grain of grain and return it to me. Sima Jin's cold words seemed to reassure the wind.

"Master, it's better for you to decide, they always have to plan for the future. ”

"No, that person wants to stir up trouble, who knows if there will be any more trouble at the yamen, you go and arrange all the manpower, and put today's food outside the door first. If he still wants to stir up trouble, this king will tell him to stand and crawl today. ”

"Yes, my subordinates will do it. Feng and a few other officials took the order. Sima Jin stood at the entrance of the yamen and looked at the crowd crowd in the distance, his eyes flashing.

An Ran looked at the only one left in front of him, and he didn't enter, and he didn't enter. It's just that now is not the time to catch up with Sima Jin, he still pulls down his hair, and plans to blend in with the crowd first and get close to the person who took the lead.

Sure enough, as Sima Jin expected, when the officials brought out the food that needed to be distributed that day, the crowd began to talk about it.

"Why don't you send it to us all at once, why do we come every day?"

"Are you sure that this king will send you today, and you can keep your rations? Aren't you afraid that if you get it now, someone will snatch it on the road later?!" Sima Jin's eyes were full of anger.

As soon as these words came out, the man was speechless.

"Since the food just now has already been distributed to us, why do you want to go back?"

"yes, yes, then give it to us. ”

"You are robbing, so those who didn't grab it, are they going to be robbed now?" Sima Jin's voice raised, these ordinary people are really stupid, and if they are fooled twice, they don't have the ability to think and respond.

An Ran relied on the advantage of his petite stature, squeezed into the gap of the crowd, holding the incense beads he asked for from Dongfang Yu in his hand, and gradually leaned towards the leader.

"The king's request must have been explained to you very clearly, and if you want to continue to receive food in the future, and those who will receive follow-up relief should hand over the food in your hands. If you don't want to, you can let yourself be free, even if you are robbed on the road, the yamen will refuse to accept it!"

Sima Jin's words were sonorous and powerful, and those who grabbed the food looked left and right with a weak heart, and when they found that everyone's eyes were staring at him, they swallowed their saliva, hesitated, and handed it over very reluctantly.

"There is so much food in the imperial court, why don't you get more of it, let us ordinary people starve, the imperial court doesn't care about our poor people!" The leader saw that everyone had given up resistance, and began to shout again.

Sima Jin flicked his fingers, and a small mosquito needle like a cow's hair immediately pierced the back of the man's neck, only to hear a muffled snort, and then he collapsed to the ground, unable to speak.

An Ran was beside that person, and she witnessed it with her own eyes, she originally wanted to leave the smell of incense beads on him, so that it would be convenient to find his traces in the future, but she didn't expect that Sima Jin couldn't bear it anymore.

However, if this person does not speak, it does not mean that it is over.

Behind him, a middle-aged woman with a wrinkled face and a turban immediately cried when she saw him fall, "Old man, what's wrong with you! The government is killing people! The government doesn't care whether we people live or die! The government doesn't let our people say what they want! Come on, the government is killing people!"

After her howl, the people around her looked at her one after another, and their hearts were shocked. There were a few arrogant young men like the bandit leaders before, and their heads were also lowered at this time, for fear of being caught. Human nature is like this, no matter when and where, start with yourself. I can't control my own life or death, how can I still care about you.

"This aunt, if you don't want to receive rations, don't stand in the way of the people behind. "The wind stepped forward, if it weren't for the master's trick to make an example of the monkeys today, I don't know how long they would have to make trouble.

Hearing these words of the wind, everyone else began to line up in an orderly manner, received their rations, and hurried away. And the woman who was crying just now stared at the wind with hatred in her eyes, but the wind looked indifferent.

"Let's go. Just when everyone's attention turned to the top of the food distribution, An Ran's ears suddenly heard a low voice. glanced at the corner of his eyes, although this person is not Kong Wuqiang, but he is not a farmer, but he is a bit of a strategist.

Looking at their backs as they were about to leave, An Ran hurriedly pinched the fragrance beads in his hands and quietly threw them at their feet.

After the crowd dispersed, the yacha saw that An Ran was still there, and his face suddenly grew again.

"Why are you still here, you didn't receive food just now, what the hell do you want to do?!"

Sima Jin and Feng on the steps were attracted by the shouting of the yacha, and at the same time looked this way. As his gaze fell on An Ran for longer and longer, Sima Jin's brows became tighter and tighter.

"Master, don't be angry, just send it away. You, give him a mouthful of food, let him go. The wind lifted his neck and signaled for safe departure.

An Ran listened to his words, and couldn't help but want to send him a dirty word, but he had to score a few points for his appearance.

"Wait a while, bring her in, this king wants to see, why has he stayed here and not left?"

"Huh, sir?"

"It's okay, it's boring anyway, if she dares to do something to lie to me, rip off the skin and make a human skin lantern. ”

Sima Jin said this sentence expressionlessly, and the yacha on the spot couldn't help but tremble, although he had heard of this master's temperament before, but he hadn't seen it for so long, and everyone made such a fuss a few days ago, he didn't get angry.

So everyone still thinks that all this is just hearsay. Unexpectedly, the person in front of him today is estimated to have poured blood mold for eight lifetimes, and it happened to meet the time when the prince was in a bad mood, so he silently lit an incense candle for him in his heart.

An Ran lowered his head and followed behind Sima Jin, beating a drum in his heart. Who knows, as soon as he entered the study, the door behind him was slammed shut by the wind in Sima Jin's palm.

One hand was held tightly by Sima Jin, and his chin was also pinched and lifted by him, rubbing back and forth, "Thin, dark." Enron, you said, how can you be so uneasy, do you have to do what this king treats you so that you can settle down. ”

Hearing Sima Jin's words, An Ran suddenly felt innocent, it wasn't because she knew that he was not good here, she came over, hmph! Don't look over, I don't want to deal with him.

Seeing An Ran's small movements, Sima Jin was not angry, and looked down at the back of An Ran's hand, "Well, it's not bad, the scar is gone." It's just, why is it a lot rougher? What about Baizhu? Why don't you see her?"

"I left her at home. ”

"What did you say?!You say it again!" Sima Jin's voice suddenly rose by eight decibels, and his voice was full of anger, "Do you know, I really want to pinch you to death now." ”

An Ran was a little weak-hearted, looking at Sima Jin's angry appearance, a trace of sweetness poured into his heart, and he was obedient a lot, and stretched out his hand to comfort Sima Jin's chest twice, "Lord Wang, I miss you." ”

The short three words made Sima Jin's brain explode, and there was a slight tremor in his voice, "What did you say?" Say it again. ”

"I said, Lord Wang, I miss you safely. An Ran looked at Sima Jin's eyes and said word by word. It's just that before she finished speaking, the words didn't enter Sima Jin's lips.

What a beautiful thing it is to have your lips and tongue intertwined. An Ran's brain was stunned, and he could only follow Sima Jin's movements, enjoying his sucking, feeling the other party's tongue, exploring in his own mouth, An Ran wanted to push him out, but in the end it turned into a tongue chasing me.

At the end of the kiss, I felt the heavy gasping of both sides, safely escaped from Sima Jin's gaze, and walked to the other side of the room with his face away.

"I, I, I'm here to deliver something to you. An Ran regretted his death in his heart, every time he was obviously active, but in the end he became passive.

"Oh, what? Sima Jin, who had just taken advantage, was in a good mood at this time, walked to An Ran's side, leaned over, looked at her blushing, and hugged her in his arms again.

"I, I, my lord, let me go. An Ran was tightly smothered in Sima Jin's arms, and such a close approach made An Ran's face flush again, and even his neck was dyed with a faint pink. Sima Jin looked at it in his eyes, and the color in his eyes couldn't help but deepen a little.

couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick it, feeling the tremor of An Ran's body, so he was willing to let her go, "Say, just don't tease you." ”

"I brought some drought-resistant plant seeds, and the prince can give them to everyone to plant, and it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. ”

"I know that, but there are still pests. Speaking of business, Sima Jin finally straightened his face.

"I have a method, I don't know if it's feasible, but the prince can try it, and a dead horse can be a live horse doctor. ”

"What?"

"Lime water. There are mountains nearby, and this lime is deep in the mountains, it is a blue-white stone, and when it encounters water, it will produce a large number of bubbles, which can be used to try. ”

"Lime water? Lime water generally only kills some pests that cling to trees. ”

"Huh?" An Ran heard Sima Jin's words, and the excitement in his heart was a little low, but when he thought that he was still prepared, he became happy again, "I also brought some small saplings over, you can plant the saplings first, and then brush the trees with lime water, so that there are more trees, and the water is not easy to lose." ”

"That's fine. Sima Jin knocked on the table, thinking about how to deal with the pests, after all, eating is a big problem.

"Bitter bark vine can also get rid of pests, it generally grows on the slopes of the mountain, I will go to the mountain tomorrow to find out, if there is any." ”

"Bitter Bark Vine?" Sima looked at An Ran in bewilderment.

"It is an old hemp vine, with large, oval-shaped, smooth leaves, or some leaves have pubescence on the main veins on the back, toothed edges, and the seeds are also red oval. Its root bark and stem bark are insecticidal. ”

"Since this is the case, then as long as there is, some local people will know, you don't have to follow you up the mountain tomorrow, you give me a good stay, otherwise, this king will not guarantee that he will pinch you to death!" Sima Jin looked at An Ran, whose face was smaller, and his heart hurt inexplicably.

"yes, I see. However, the person you beat today, as well as his accomplices, I put a fragrance bead on him today, and you can send someone to chase him after the smell. Seeing Sima Jin's face was not good, knowing that this was a precursor to anger, An Ran quickly nodded in agreement.

By the way, he told Sima Jin the address of the hidden things, and An Ran felt that he had unloaded his dust.
