Chapter 31

It was another half a month after that.

All illnesses in and out of the city have subsided
The plague came quickly and left quickly.

Different from the epidemics recorded in previous years, the plague this time seems to be an emergency with sudden onset and end. Like a playful child, he rushed out to play with his friends. After a while, he heard his grandmother calling him home. Have a meal.
It's really good luck.

Although it is autumn, the sun is still vicious
The northwest gate of Ninghe County.

A group of sergeants dressed as soldiers came from neighboring counties, sweating profusely, busy with the work at hand
"Be careful! Be careful, motherfucker!"

"What about you, did you do anything in a daze and didn't wake up?!"

A few small bosses shouted and urged.

"Hurry up, hurry up! Slowly, you are seventy and eighty. Haven't eaten in the morning?!"

Cart after cart full of grain bags lined up in a long straight line and were slowly moving into the city with the efforts of the sergeants.

Upon closer inspection, there was actually a grain cart that had fallen apart on the side of the road, and the heavy sacks on it were scattered all over the ground.
The soldier driving the cart was carrying a bag of grain, and was cleaning up the mess with a sad face.

"You idiot, the car wheel is broken and you don't know how to stop and fix it? But are you driving forward vigorously? There is food waiting for you in front of you?!"

".Or did Chunmeng not wake up last night, and your lover stood in front of you?"

"Move these grain sacks to other carts! Hurry up! Grind again, and take care of your skin!"

The military leader supervising the escort at the side shouted and scolded him with a bad face.

The man scolded a few words, still not relieved, then turned his head and yelled loudly at the team:

"Listen up! This is food for disaster relief to save the lives of the folks! Let me see if I touch and spill it, I want you to look good!"

The little bosses got even more excited when they heard the words, and stared fiercely at the busy pawns in the convoy
In the shadow of the city wall, Qian Hong, Chen Yi and others were avoiding the glare of the noon sun, watching the food team enter the city.

"This is the third batch." Qian Hong was quite emotional.

Looking at the scene in front of him, he thought of how unhappy he was when he went from door to door asking for food a few days ago, but bumped into walls everywhere.
Chen Yi looked at him with a smile, and asked, "Is Uncle Qian at ease?"

"Hahaha my nephew is remembering the old man's grudge." Qian Hong stroked his beard and laughed.

"Hey~ No, it's not about holding grudges, it's just that Uncle Qian can get straight to the point and tell the truth."

Chen Yi shook his head and said.

"Yi Yijie, a martial artist, always prefers to go straight to the middle. He doesn't like to speculate on other people's minds!"

Qian Hong apologized to him with a smile: "Nephew, don't blame me! The old man has been begging for food and grass for many days, but I have not found anything. Although I know my nephew is the most kind-hearted, but..."

"The Chen family contributed the most to the rebellion before. Then, when the people were rescued, the nephew returned with blood every day! The people outside the city have all received the kindness of the nephew."

"Building camps and preventing epidemics. I also rely on the help of my nephew with money and food, and there are many suggestions. I don't know how many lives have been saved. How can I ask for help again."

"I was thinking of sending another letter, so I begged the prefect Zhang haha."

Chen Yi also hurriedly returned a salute, and said modestly: "Uncle is too famous. My family started from the frontier army. My mother has always taught me a lot, saying that it is not a pity to be alone. Those who are good will help the world at the same time. If you can do what you can, how can you just sit back and watch?" reason!"

Hearing these words, Qian Hong was deeply convinced by the awareness.

I also recalled the scene in the Manjusri Building when Chen Yi went crazy, and was very moved for a moment, and praised: "Well, what a master and helps the world. The leader of Ninghe, the century-old family style really lives up to its reputation."

After pausing for a moment, he thought of the horrific and bloody scene when he killed the enemy and returned to the city.
He also praised Chen Yi himself: "Asura knife, Bodhisattva, given time, Chen's vertical and horizontal knife is in the hands of a good nephew, and it will be unique in Yuzhou!"

This sentence is more beautiful than one sentence, and it is flattering to say it in his official position
"Hey, I can't deserve it. Uncle Qian praised it so much, I'm really ashamed of my nephew."

Chen Yi hurriedly waved his hands and said repeatedly.

How else could someone be an official? This rainbow fart slapped his face, and his face was flushed, and he was a little embarrassed.

In order to change the subject, he turned his head and asked Chen Hua beside him: "Including this batch of food, how much is it?"

The master was praised, and Chen Hua also had a good face, and replied confidently: "Counting this group, there are more than [-] shi, and there are still four or five groups of people on the way."

Qian Hong took over the conversation and said with a smile: "This time, the shopkeeper Lao Chen discussed with the county yamen for many days, and made a list of more than [-] shi, and handed over and counted in the warehouse day and night. It was also extremely hard."

Chen Hua laughed and said, "Your Excellency, you are being polite. The master is benevolent. Mr. Chen is just a matter of loyalty, so it is not hard work."

Chen Yi pondered for a moment, then asked: "Forty-seven thousand stones, is it enough for the refugees for three months?"

“More than enough!”

Qian Hong affirmed.

"Not only can the remaining [-] refugees outside the city be fed for three months, but also a small half can be set aside for autumn plowing."

Chen Yi was surprised and said: "These people don't return to their homeland, they want to stay in Ninghe to open up wasteland? Why?"

Chen Hua and Qian Hong looked at each other and smiled wryly.

"The war has not yet been decided. It's difficult! These people are fleeing, and which one has enough money?"

"Those who were able to leave left early, and those who are still here are now homeless, and they can't go back even if they want to!"

"Rather than starve to death halfway, it's better to stay here. Whether it's receiving relief or working for others, you can always have something to eat."

Qian Hong didn't answer, but Chen Hua answered his doubts.

As soon as the voice fell, the scene fell into silence.

If there is a home, who wouldn't want to go back? If they don't want to, they can't.
In order to ease the atmosphere, Qian Hong took the lead to break the silence and said: "Don't worry, you two, I, Qian Hong, will take care of the people left behind, and I will teach them to live and work here in peace."

The worries in their hearts eased a little, and they said in unison: "Uncle (Master) Gao Yi."

Chen Yi said again: "If there is any nephew who can help in the future, uncle, you don't have to be polite. Don't beat around the bush, just speak up."

Qian Hong's expression froze, his heart was not in a good mood.

I'm afraid I can't pass this hurdle
After a while, he pretended to be shy and said: "In that case, there is something happening right now."

Chen Yi stared at him with wide eyes, question marks all over his head, are you really rude, Mr. Qian?!
With a disdainful look in his eyes, he continued in embarrassment: "These people open up wasteland, of course they are not outside the city, there is a piece of wasteland thirty miles away."

"It's just that Hu Kou is about to be eliminated right now, and there are quite a few bandits and bandits entrenched nearby. I don't have many soldiers at my disposal. This, my nephew, look."

Bandit? Bandit?
Chen Yi didn't even have time to despise him when he heard the words, his eyes lit up immediately.

He found that he seemed to have found the door to some new world.
ps: Finally unblocked! It’s almost the Chinese New Year, and the epidemic is still endless
