Chapter 38 Thank you

Because Xie Yuan saved a person in the alley, and because she followed her, she was almost killed by the bullies in the refugee camp.

So this led to Shen Liuzhen's rescue, and because of the rescue, it also led to finding a way to resettle the refugees.

Father Xie, who had been sitting in the yamen or was busy instructing Shen Liuzhen in the study, finally knew how many refugees there were outside the city.

He listened to Shen Liuzhen's narration, put down the book in his hand, sighed, and said:

"As long as there is no war for a day, this kind of thing will not be rare. It can't be saved by relying on the little wealth and food in our family. Don't worry about it, let's take care of ourselves. If we don't do it well, we will even save our lives." No, not as good as them."

Shen Liuzhen and Xie Yuan looked at each other, knowing that he was referring to the fact that Xie's family was punished by the nine clans. This incident hit Father Xie so much that he didn't have much ambition for official career, and became even more negative.

Shen Liuzhen said: "Teacher, the Master said: It is no courage to see righteousness and do nothing. If you see them in trouble, if you turn a blind eye and don't ask them, isn't it the virtue of a gentleman. What's more, the teacher is a county. Guarding, resettling the people of one side is also the duty."

The family tradition of the Xie family is that no matter how old or young they are, they must be reasonable in doing things.Usually Xie's father also encourages Shen Liuzhen to express his views, not to disrespect his teachers.

So when Shen Liuzhen said the words that obviously blamed Xie's father for dereliction of duty, he was not angry, but sighed heavily, and explained to Shen Liuzhen:
"Hey... I also came here when you were your age. I don't understand how you feel at this moment. People have to have compassion when they see animals suffering, let alone people?

Don't blame me for being hard-hearted, I have seen this kind of thing too much, so many years have passed, and all the efforts I have made are in vain.To this day, there are still human tragedies everywhere.Forgive me for my incompetence. I can only protect you and your family. Others really have no ability to manage it. "

Seeing Shen Liuzhen and Xie Yuan bowing their heads, he was obviously very disappointed, so he persuaded him again, saying:
"Didn't I just send someone to add some rice cloth to the porridge? I've done this good thing, so don't blame yourself too much."

Xie Yuan thought of the group of children who had no father or mother struggling together to survive, so he said:

"Father... Even if other people don't care, can you take those children at home and raise them. It's not for nothing. Send them to do some errands to pay for rations."

Father Xie frowned and said:
"Is there not enough people in the family? How many poor children in this world are called to be raised at home? Even princes and dukes can't stand such kind-hearted squandering, not to mention, our family is just a remote village. common clan."

Xie Yuan was extremely disappointed when he heard that, he lowered his head in pain and did not speak.

Shen Liuzhen glanced at her, then turned to look up at Father Xie, raised his hands, and said earnestly:

"Teacher, but I have already promised to find a way for them. How can I break my promise? Otherwise, we don't need to squander the money and food in the family. We will find a way to raise money to do it. You just need to send the county guard The yamen servants will help us."

Father Xie looked at him with the scroll in his hand, with an unknown light in his eyes, and after a while he said earnestly: "Liu Zhen, it's really futile to do this, the teacher is someone who has experienced it."

Shen Liuzhen raised his arms and said seriously:

"Teacher, Mencius said: At that time, at this time, there must be a king in 500 years, and there must be a famous person in the world. The teacher has worked hard, and it may be in vain. It does not mean that the efforts of the student generation are still in vain. The teacher taught me a lot. I have high expectations, and I definitely hope that I can apply what I have learned in the future to save the country. The students also hope the same, and now is a good opportunity to exercise..."

Shen Liuzhen paused, knelt down on the ground, arched his hands and said, "Teacher, this is a good opportunity to exercise, please give me and Xie Yuan a chance to do things."

Father Xie was a little moved, although he knew in his heart that the world is chaotic and the country is not permanent, the so-called saving the country through the world, it is impossible to say which country will be saved...

But he looked at the two teenagers' vigorous hopes, their eyes were shining brightly, and it seemed that he had stirred up his vision that had been silent for many years... So he couldn't bear to pour cold water on them anymore.

Said: "Okay... If you have any difficulties, come to me at any time."

……

……

Xie Yuan followed Shen Liuzhen out of the study room, and suddenly said, "Thank you."

Shen Liuzhen was a little surprised, looked at her and asked, "What are you thanking me for? I wanted to help those refugees, and you didn't ask for help."

Xie Yuan said with some embarrassment: "It's not for this, but for not leaving me out when you told my father about these things."

Seeing her depressed expression, Shen Liuzhen felt a little sad in his heart, and persuaded her:

"A Yuan, I think you've been thinking too much recently. The teacher obviously still loves you very much as usual, but it's just because you are not good at studying Chinese and you can't keep up with the progress, so he singled me out to teach, not at all. Don't mean anything else."

Xie Yuan heard this, and said as he walked, "I didn't think much about it, you're not me, so naturally you don't know what I'm like."

Seeing her quickening her pace, Shen Liuzhen trotted two steps to catch up with her.

He put his hands in his sleeves, and he flicked his wide sleeves when he ran. Compared with Xie Yuan who was dressed in a smart dress next to him, he looked more like a little girl.

Seeing her ugly face, Shen Liuzhen stopped arguing with her about it and said:
"We have to think about how to raise money and resettle those refugees. But one thing the teacher said is right, relief alone is not enough."

After hearing this, Xie Yuan's dark complexion lightened up, no longer entangled with the emotions just now, and said:
"I thought you had already figured it out. What you said in the room was so impassioned. Is your feeling a big cake?"

Shen Liuzhen said: "Oh, since you want to accomplish something, you must have the courage to take one step at a time. If you have any ideas, please tell me."

Xie Yuan thought about it seriously, and said: "It's too chaotic there, because no one maintains order, and some are like bald bullies, relying on bullying the weak and eating blood to get fat. I have a way to train a team, Maintain normal order..."

She paused, and then said: "Also... the place to live is too bad. Anyone who lives in such a place can't see hope. Without hope, evil will breed. We must find a way for them to at least live in a normal place. House of."

Shen Liuzhen smiled with his mouth curled up: "How dare you think... How much will it cost to build a house?"

Xie Yuan gave him a dissatisfied look, and said, "You asked me what I thought, but you didn't ask me if it was feasible."

"Yes, yes, yes... I'm afraid of you." Shen Liuzhen said with a smile, and even leaned over and nudged her.

Xie Yuan thought it was a fault of him to lean towards people at every turn, so he took a step and walked a little further.
