Chapter 18, Xingyun Ancient Temple

Over there, Li Zhixing's lungs were about to explode, and here Chen Qi and Meng Xiaofan happily returned to the inn.

At this time, Meng Bufan had not rested, although he intended to exercise Chen Qi and Meng Xiaofan, he was actually still a little worried. Seeing the two of them return safely, he was finally relieved.

Meng Xiaofan came back and excitedly told him what had happened, and finally handed over all the gains to Meng Bufan, but Chen Qi asked him to keep the antiques he liked, and Meng Bufan did not object.

The three of them talked for a while, clarified the division of labor, and then rested separately.

Early the next morning, Chen Qi went to the outside of the city to find Ah Niu to make preparations before the soup kitchen, and Meng Bufan took Meng Xiaofan to the grain store to buy grain.

Ah Niu was chatting with a few victims in the porridge shed, and when he saw Chen Qi, he hurriedly stepped forward, "Brother Chen, these people are my new friends, I think what you are going to do will definitely need help." ”

Chen Qi smiled: "Do you know what I'm going to do?"

Ah Niu asked a little confused, "Aren't you going to help these victims?"

Chen Qi patted Ah Niu's shoulder and said with a smile: "Whoever wants to say that you are a stupid cow in the future, I will definitely beat him." ”

Ah Niu scratched his head and muttered embarrassedly: "Actually, I'm really not stupid, but I don't want to use my brain." ”

Ah Niu introduced several of the victims he made friends with to Chen Qi one by one, and Chen Qi said to everyone: "Everyone escaped from their hometown with great hardship, just to survive, but you should have seen the situation here, except for the canal construction site in Yunzhou Mansion to work for relief, no one came out to help you. Relief for you, so now I want to ask you to help yourselves, to help yourselves, to provide you with food, and you are responsible for making food here and distributing it to all the victims here, so that not a single victim will starve to death here, are you willing to do that?"

"Yes, yes, we do!"

The victims replied loudly.

A middle-aged man walked out of the crowd, knelt down with a thud, and bowed to Chen Qi, "Thank you for saving your life!"

Seeing this, several other people also knelt down and bowed in unison. These people were all found by Ah Niu last night, and they didn't know what to do, and now when they heard Chen Qi say this, their hearts were extremely excited.

Chen Qi hurriedly helped these people up one by one, "There is no need to do this, I just do what I should do, and I have to rely on everyone's help in the future." ”

Chen Qi looked around the entire shed, "Let's put together the items here first, and then the food will be transported." ”

"Good!"

At the moment, everyone started to work together and began to get busy.

"Brother Chen," Ah Niu said to Chen Qi, "I inquired last night that the Yunzhou Mansion did not allow the victims to gather around Yunzhou City, and the victims who fled from the disaster either went to the canal construction site with them or left Yunzhou City. ”

Chen Qi asked, "Where did all the people who left Yunzhou City go?"

"Some of them went to other states and counties, and the other part went to Xingyun Temple, which is not far from here, but although it is a large place, it has long been abandoned and there are no monks. There are a few good people in Yunzhou City who secretly send food there, so the people there can barely survive. ”

Chen Qi looked around for a moment, and then said to the victims, "Are you familiar with the victims here?"

Everyone said: "Most of them know, what's wrong Chen Gongzi?"

Chen Qi said: "Now you tell all the victims here, let them all go to Xingyun Temple, and I will send all the food there, this place is only used as a temporary receiving point, and all the victims who fled from here will be transferred to Xingyun Temple from here." ”

"Great!" everyone said happily in unison.

Chen Qi said: "Brother Niu, you will take care of this place first, and after Xingyun Temple is settled, you will find someone to take turns to take care of it." ”

"Listen to your brothers. ”

When everything is ready, let's go our separate ways. When these victims outside the city heard that there was such a good place to go, they were naturally willing, so they immediately supported each other and helped each other to walk towards Xingyun Temple.

After notifying the victims at this city gate, the victims who Ah Niu had made friends with before went to other parts of Yunzhou City to deliver the good news to the victims scattered there.

Not long after, outside the city of Yunzhou, where there were hundreds of victims, they dispersed cleanly, as if these victims had never come.

"Chen Qi," Meng Xiaofan shouted from afar, "Look at ......" Meng Xiaofan patted the grain bag under him.

Chen Qi saw that several carriages were coming this way, and the carts were full of grain, and Meng Xiaofan was sitting high on the front carriage.

"Is there only so many?

"Four cars, you are still too little, you are not afraid of eating and holding on?" Meng Xiaofan said and jumped out of the car, "Master said that sending so much first, it is not enough to let the grain bank send it at any time, he stayed in the grain store and talked to them about the follow-up grain, and then went to Qingzhou." Huh, where have all the people gone here?"

"Xingyun Temple, it's an abandoned temple, it's a big place, and it can house more victims, so let's send food there now. ”

Meng Xiaofan looked at Ah Niu beside Chen Qi, "This brother was picked up by you on the road?"

Chen Qi said: "Ah Niu is older than you, you should be called brother." ”

Meng Xiaofan smiled and patted Ah Niu's shoulder, "Brother Ah Niu, who do you think is good-looking, me or Chen Qi?"

Ah Niu looked at Meng Xiaofan and then at Chen Qi, "You are all better looking than me." ”

"Poof~," Meng Xiaofan laughed, "You cow is not stupid at all!"

Ah Niu said embarrassedly: "Brother Chen also said that I am not stupid. ”

Chen Qimeng Xiaofan smiled even happier when he heard this.

After laughing, Chen Qi left a few bags of grain for Ah Niu, and then sent the rest of the grain to Xingyun Temple with Meng Xiaofan.

Xingyun Temple is more than ten miles away from Yunzhou City, built on a hill, and the whole building complex covers an extremely wide area. The official road branched off to the west and led directly to the monastery.

The trees inside and outside the temple are towering, lush and full of life, but who would have thought that such a place is an abandoned temple.

When Chen Qi and Meng Xiaofan arrived at Xingyun Temple, the victims were very excited, and together, the four carts of grain were quickly moved to the original granary of the temple.

There are about 2,000 people here, and there are many others coming along the way.

"Thank you, two beneficiaries!"

I don't know who shouted, and then everyone shouted: "Thank you two for your ......."

With the shouting, the victims in the entire courtyard knelt down to Chen Qi and Meng Xiaofan, kowtowing and shouting.

Such a scene overwhelmed the two for a while.

"This ...... That's what we should do. Meng Xiaofan shouted loudly.

The shouts of thousands of people, Meng Xiaofan's voice sank like a stone into the sea.

Meng Xiaofan shook his head, looked at Chen Qi and said, "This is too exaggerated!"

Chen Qi said: "These people are very simple, their thoughts are also very simple, living is their greatest wish, otherwise they would not have left their hometown." Now that their wish has come true, of course they are excited. Let's go, let's go and lift them up. ”

The two of them started with the nearest victims, and helped them one by one, and slowly the sound disappeared, and the people behind them also stood up.

Chen Qi and the others quieted down and said loudly: "You guys settle down here for the time being, and we will solve the food, but this is only an expedient measure, I will find another way to try to let everyone return to their hometown as soon as possible." ”

As soon as Chen Qi finished saying this, the scene of kneeling just now came again.

Meng Xiaofan looked at Chen Qi and asked suspiciously, "Do you have any way to let them all go home?"

"I'm going to go to Beijing. ”

"Okay, let's go together, I'm much more familiar with the capital than you, and I'm also familiar with the palace, I've been to the master ......."

"Of course we went together. ”

While the two were talking, the victims also quieted down, and Chen Qi said: "I don't need your thanks for helping you, so don't do this in the future, otherwise I won't help you anymore." ”

"The dragons cannot be without a leader, I need to find some people from among you to manage this place, these people must not be selfish, for the sake of all the people here, please come to me if they are willing. ”

As soon as Chen Qi finished speaking, more than a dozen people came out of the crowd and came to him, most of these people were middle-aged men, and there were also a few young people.

Chen Qi and Meng Xiaofan took these dozen people to a wing room, and asked them to treat this place as their home, treat the victims here as their relatives, manage this place well, and arrange things according to everyone's strengths.

After arranging these, Chen Qi took out a bag of broken silver, "We may not be there at any time, you can take these silver, see what you need to buy here, go to the city to buy it, and if there is anything, go to the Yuelai Inn in the city to find us." ”

"Thank you, two beneficiaries!"

These dozen people were about to salute as they spoke, Chen Qi and Meng Xiaofan hurriedly stopped, Meng Xiaofan said: "Forget what my brother said just now?

The dozen or so people smiled embarrassedly: "Remember." ”

After arranging these, Chen Qi and Meng Xiaofan were about to leave, and just walked to the door when they saw a carriage slowly coming.

Follow Chen Qi and the others to the gate of the temple to a victim and say: "This is the people from Lu Yuanwai's family in Yunzhou, they come here every day to bring us food." ”
