After fleeing famine, I rely on space to raise cubs

The sky is bright white, and a new day has begun.

When Su Qing came out of Song Zhi's tent, he happened to meet Xiao Yuan who was about to fetch water to wash. forget.

Su Qing waved in front of his eyes, "Xiao Yuan, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Yuan finally came to his senses, and dropped the kettle on the ground in a panic. He hurriedly saluted, "See the princess, I'm humble just now, I was distracted just now, I didn't see the princess for a while, I hope the princess will make amends."

Su Qing chuckled, "It's okay, why did you scare you like this, you go."

Xiao Yuan looked at the back of Su Qing returning to his tent, his face was full of sadness.

After a simple wash, Su Qing put on her clothes and went out. At this time, the sky was getting bright, and some people had already entered the city.

The guards surrounded the grain carts and shouted to the passers-by: "One tael and six shi of grain, come and have a look, it's all high-quality grain, it's from Liyang, no one can deceive you."

The cheapest food in Chengxian County was not so cheap. Many people went to inquire about the price, and when they saw that the food was real, they burst into tears and stepped forward to buy it with their only copper coins and money.

There are more and more people buying, the sun has risen from the horizon, the autumn wind last night has blown away the heavy dark clouds, and finally there is warm weather. Although the air is still cold, it is much better than rainy days.

She wiped her nose, her eyes were empty, her grandson was holding the dried prunes given by Su Qing in her hand, and she devoured them one by one. She was so hungry that she even swallowed the prunes inside.

Ru Xin clenched her fist tightly on one side, her back molars were clenched tightly, and her temples were throbbing.Filled with righteous indignation, he said, "It's clear that this was intentional. It was intentional. It took away the labor force from the family, leaving only the old, weak, sick and disabled. Isn't it driving people to death?"

The old lady wiped her nose and bowed to Su Qing, "Although there is no land, some food can be grown on the mountain, and the bark and roots can be eaten. I have lived until now. I am not afraid of death." , It’s just my grandson, my son is dead, my daughter-in-law is dead, if my grandson dies before me, how can I have the face to meet his parents? Anyway, let me die before him, but he is also dead, but I Just can't see it."

The old lady was crying and talking, and kept patting her thigh. The grandson next to her saw her crying like this, so she burst into tears too.

Many people gathered around the food carts. One of the old ladies was pulling her grandson. She was dressed in rags and managed to take out ten copper coins. , she turned around anxiously, crying: "Hey, what should I do, what should I do, there is so much food, enough for our grandparents and grandchildren to eat for two days, but I have nothing to pretend to go, my family There isn't a suitable bag."

"You don't need to give the silver, you can take it back."

The old lady couldn't stop crying, Su Qing was shocked, "The disasters have been severe in the past few years, the tax money of the entire Hedong Road has been reduced, and the imperial court has not received the tax money, why are you still paying the money?"

The old lady was crying and talking nonsense, but Su Qing understood. She frowned and asked the old lady to be pulled aside, "Old lady, tell me exactly what's going on with you? How did your son and daughter-in-law die? "

Su Qing's heart seemed to be pressed by something heavy, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

The old lady wiped her eyes with rough hands, bent her body and said, "My son and daughter-in-law are both dead."

The old lady looked at Su Qing in surprise, rubbed her hands and said, "Oh, so many, oh, so many, the copper coins I gave are not enough."

"It's been raining here for two years. I'm too poor to grow crops. Without crops, I can't pay the money. I owe it year after year. I don't know how much I owe. I can't pay it. , People from the county said that they want us to take the crops low, otherwise they will arrest all the men and lock them up, woo woo woo."

Su Qing knew that the past few years would be difficult, so she made preparations, but she didn't expect that they would be so shameless that they could take away the common people's land, but there was no record of the changed owner in the civil register , or record it under their names, so that as long as the people above check it, it is impossible to know that there is such a dirty truth in it.

Seeing this, Su Qing stepped forward and said to the guard: "Bring a pot or a big bowl, and bring a cloth bag."

The guard quickly gave the food to Su Qing. Su Qing shook several bowls from the grain bag, sealed it with the bag, and handed it to the old lady, "Old man, take these back and eat them. We will take the copper coins you gave just now."

Su Qing looked calm, looked at the old lady and said, "Then how do you live?"

The old lady wiped her eyes, covered her mouth and began to cry.

Su Qing handed it to her involuntarily, and the old lady plopped on the ground and kowtowed several times to Su Qing, "You are our great benefactor, thank you son, thank you, woo woo, my son is dead, My daughter-in-law is also dead, and I can hardly survive with just such a seedling, woo woo, my land has been taken away, woo woo, I have no land, and I have to grow food, said it was the booklet The land above is still mine, but it is no longer mine.”

Many people in the distance were kowtowing and bowing, Song Zhi, Xiao Yuan and most of the guards were taking food for them.

The old lady's eyes were cloudy, and the wrinkles on her face were all blank, "People from the county government said that if they don't pay the tax, they will be beheaded. We really have no choice but to sell the land, but the county government The people in the village want money at every turn, and gradually they disappear. My son was taken away, not only my son, but most of the men in the village were taken away. My daughter-in-law went to look for it, but never came back. Waiting for me When I saw it, it was just two corpses."

Su Qing said to Song Zhi: "To build a porridge shed, you don't need too good rice, as long as you can eat it, anyone who doesn't like it can come and eat it, it's free, no money required."

Song Zhi nodded, looked at her and said, "There is enough food, don't worry."

Su Qing smiled, and the two looked at each other in the crowd.

Song Zhi is not a person who can speak well, but as long as Su Qing says, he will always support and act without hesitation.

At noon that day, the porridge shed was built, and a large pot and a large stove were built. After a while, the steaming porridge floated out of the pot and floated to the territory of the bandit tiger in the distance.
