Two heavy rains came down in quick succession, and the weather gradually cooled. The autumn wind and drizzle soon smoothed out the drought. In the moist field, just sprinkle some melons and beans and plant them, and after three or two days, it will be a green patch. All of a sudden, the year got better. In addition, Shen Yun ordered the people in Zhuangzi to vigorously publicize the tax reduction and exemption for half a year among the disaster victims, and the rest of the disaster victims were still a little hesitant, but they finally couldn't sit still anymore at this time, and their families embarked on the return journey with hope.

When the rice seedlings in the field were drawn up to a foot high, the victims were basically scattered. A very small number remained. Most of them are homeless, elderly, young, sick and disabled.

After the count, there were three hundred and twelve people in total. Among them, there were 176 children under the age of 10 who had no parents or no mothers, 87 were over 50 years old and had no children to rely on, and the remaining dozens were either disabled or seriously ill and almost lost their labor.

How to settle this kind of people, in the spring, there are old precedents in Zhuangzi. Qi Bo led the people to personally register them one by one, and according to the old practice, they were placed in the shanty town outside the Zhuangzi.

The shantytown is a product of the soup kitchen in the spring. At that time, after the victims dispersed, some of the old, weak, sick and disabled were left behind. Shen Yun took pity on them for being homeless, so he left some wooden sheds undemolished for them to shelter in.

These people, young and old, make a living by doing odd jobs in the Zhuangzi. After half a year, many people, especially orphans, were favored by the steward and moved into the Zhuangzi.

The victims had already inquired about the situation in the shantytown, and they were all happy to hear that they were going to move to the shantytown.

Soon, miles of shelters were completely empty. In Zhuangzi, there were also villagers from ten miles and eight townships who came to help with the soup kitchen, and it took only two days to dismantle the victims' sheds. This section of the official road is back to normal.

At this point, the disaster relief is over.

The old men of Chunwang counties have sent invitations to feast the master of Zhuangzi on the grounds of celebration and thanks.

Shen Yun didn't respond to any of them. First, he remembered clearly how these guys had plotted against him before, and besides, Zhuangzi had already been labeled as an immortal, and they didn't dare to have any more fancy intestines. He had the time to hang out with them, so he might as well draw a few more talismans.

It's not what it used to be, these big men touched their noses, but they couldn't help him. The feast will not be over.

After another half a month, there is still some time before the autumn harvest, the first canal is also open, and Zhuangzili is completely on track. Shen Yun was rarely idle for the time being. He decided to seize this time and take a trip to Luozhou.

The main purpose of this trip is to send Chen Ying's ashes home. Again, he decided to visit Hong Tianbao.

Chen Ying's body was cremated before the summer harvest, and the ashes were packed in a small clay pot and properly stored in a treasure bag. Because Chen Ying only said the word "Chen" and passed away, if he wanted to send his ashes back to his hometown, Shen Yun had to spend some time searching.

As for Hong Tianbao, Shen Yun hadn't received a letter from him for nearly three months, and he was worried that something had happened to him, so he stopped by to visit. Speaking of which, the two brothers had not seen each other for more than two years. Shen Yunwei misses him.

As usual, he would tell Qi Bo that he was going to go out to Luozhou in two days, and said, "This time, I will come back before the New Year Festival at the latest." All the big and small affairs in the Zhuangzi will be left to you and the elders. ”

It's not the first time he's gone far away. Qi Bo was accustomed to this, and after nodding his head, he hurried to prepare a meal for him and take it with him on the way.

In the past two days, Shen Yun has not been idle. On the map, he circled all the place names in Luozhou that began with the word "Chen", no matter how big or small. A total of fifteen places were found. Then, according to the distribution of these fifteen places, the route of the search was determined.

While checking the route to Luozhou, Shen Yun saw a familiar place name on the map - Yuxi Town.

The memories of many years ago come to mind one by one. He remembered why he left Xiandu in a hurry back then.

Almost four years have passed. I don't know what happened to the two corpse cultivators who forced me to avoid disaster in the immortal capital back then. Before leaving, racking his brains to see if the trap he had laid for the two of them came in handy.

Shen Yun stared at the three small characters of "Yuxi Town" on the map, for a long time, he lightly tapped it with his finger, and said to himself: "Anyway, it's not far away, it's better to take a detour." ”

Back then, he couldn't help these two guys. Now, pinching this stuff to death is no different than pinching two bed bugs. Besides, corpse cultivation is vicious, and once they become the climate, there is almost no one who does not harm one party. So, why not take the time to get rid of it?

Two days later, in the early morning, he changed into a half-worn green cloth robe and quietly left Zhuangzi.

did not go south directly, but went north to Yuxi Town first.

I don't want to, just out of Chunwang County, I walked to a barren ridge where I didn't see the village in front of me and couldn't see the store behind, and a white figure appeared in the dense forest on the side of the road.

"Brother Shen, don't come unharmed. The person who came smiled and blocked Shen Yun's way.

Shen Yun couldn't help but be shocked in his heart—before this person appeared, he didn't even notice it at all!

Subconsciously concentrating on that person's cultivation realm.

At this look, the cold sweat on his back swished down.

He found that he couldn't see whether there were any spiritual power fluctuations on the other party's body at all.

Could it be that this man's cultivation is higher than mine?

Then I thought about it, why panic? At least we have to find out the other party's intentions.

Thinking of this, he secretly clenched his fists, trying his best to calm down as soon as possible.

"Have we met this fellow Daoist?" he stared intently at the other man's face.

The man was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a long body, a face like a crown of jade, and a good countenance. Shen Yun was quite confident in his memory. As long as you are a person who has dealt with it, even if you only have one side, you can remember it after many years. However, this man, he was completely unimpressed.

The white-robed young man smiled: "Brother Shen has made a fortune now and has become the head of a dignified faction, so it's no wonder that he can't recognize his old friends." As he spoke, he squinted his eyes, looked Shen Yun up and down, and pursed his lips, "However, Brother Shen's shot is tens of millions of taels of silver, how can he go out for a walk and not even have decent clothes?" The incense candles of the four seas are gone in a flash, where can Brother Shen go to find a bold buyer like my uncle?"

Hearing this, Shen Yun's eyes widened in astonishment: "You, are you Ah Cheng, the guy from the Four Seas Incense Candle Shop?"

Ah Cheng has a mediocre appearance, and his eyebrows and eyes are not at all similar to the person in front of him!
