Don't panic when fleeing famine, the farm system is busy raising cubs to get rich

Chapter 103 Jiuli Town (Goddess Festival plus update)
Xia Qiyue was frightened, and quickly reached out to touch An Qingling's forehead, for fear that the child would be burned.

But after touching it, I feel that the fever has subsided. How could this child forget about people?

"Ling'er, I'm your fourth aunt, why don't you know me?" Xia Qiyue asked tentatively.

"I know you, I know you are my fourth aunt!" An Qingling lowered her head, "But fourth aunt, you feel like a mother! I have never been hugged and slept by my mother before, so warm and comfortable , I...can I call you mother?"

Although she was only five years old, An Qingling spoke clearly, and what she said made people feel sad and distressed.

"Mother... Sister Linger is so pitiful..." The first one who couldn't help crying was Xiao Keer, "Mother, let Sister Linger call your mother, okay?"

Xia Qiyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and patted Ke'er's head, "Sister Linger has her own mother. If sister Linger calls her mother her mother, her mother will be upset!"

"But her mother doesn't want her anymore!" Xuan'er added.

Make Xia Qiyue speechless, what can she do?I can only take Linger with me first.

"Ling'er, why don't you go with Ke'er's younger sister Xuan'er first?"

An Qingling raised her head with sparkling small eyes, and agreed crisply, "Okay!"

In the morning, for convenience, they ate dry food, which was steamed buns bought halfway.

After An Zihao finished his meal, he went to find Ge Mingyu and his wife angrily.

He came back after a long time, and then called Xia Qiyue out to talk.

But after standing for a long time, he hesitated and didn't know how to speak.

Xia Qiyue couldn't wait any longer, and was the first to ask, "Second brother and second sister-in-law don't want Linger anymore?"

An Zihao nodded, shook his head again, and then said hesitantly, "Sister-in-law four, sister-in-law two means to let... let you buy Linger..."

An Zihao didn't even know how to say these words, he felt a burning pain on his face.

What is this called?My own daughter doesn't care about herself, and she has to force others to buy her girl, not only to support her, but also to give them money.

Xia Qiyue didn't have many surprises, and it wasn't the first time Ge Mingyu thought of selling her daughter.

"Okay! Baliang, let her write the deed of sale and let Lizheng sign it and send it to me. Ling'er will be my daughter when I apply for household registration!"

An Zihao's eyes were filled with various emotions. After a while, he suppressed the turmoil in his heart, nodded, and left with a promise.

Over there, when Ge Mingyu heard that Xia Qiyue agreed to buy her daughter, she was as excited as if she had won a lottery.

But in the next second, Liu Mei's voice remembered, "Second brother and sister, when I sold our family, I only kept one or two, and gave the rest to mother!"

Old lady An was also waiting, Liu Mei finished speaking for her, and looked directly at Ge Mingyu.

Ge Mingyu gritted her teeth, but she still had no choice but to nod in front of the old lady, "Sister-in-law, don't remind me, I know!"

It was impossible to speak bluntly, the old lady An snorted coldly, waiting excitedly for her granddaughter to sell herself.

Without hesitation, Li Zheng wrote a deed of sale to Ge Mingyu, signed it and pressed his fingerprints.

Since it was Xia Qiyue who wanted to buy An Qingling, none of the people who heard it was gossiping. Instead, they were all happy for An Qingling, and she would no longer have to suffer.

I don't know how many people want to sell their daughters to Xia Qiyue.

The official came over before noon and said that they had settled down in Jiuli Town, which is nine miles away from the capital, but it was not the town, but a village not far from the town.

I heard from the officials that this village was not a village at first, but just a wilderness. There were too many refugees, so there was no place to resettle them. Only the Cypriots with a radius of a hundred miles, but they came a step late, and the other places were full of people, so there was no place to settle them. go in.

So I gathered the next few waves of people together and built a village in the wilderness not far from Jiuli Town.

"Hurry up, everyone, I can help the officials fix the temporary porridge shed before dark!"

That's what Rizheng said in his last sentence.

Based on what he said, Xia Qiyue guessed that the imperial court wanted to build a porridge shed to temporarily accommodate these refugees, and then let them build their own houses?
But she thought too much, and when she finally arrived at the so-called new village, she found out what kind of village it was. It was obviously a wilderness, with no houses at all, and only a few porridge sheds that had just been built.

The people who came here before spread their own quilts on the ground, and many people shared a shed, driving Dangxue crazy.

And their Shanbei Zhuangzi came later, and they didn't even have a porridge shed. Everyone stood in the wilderness, messy in the wind.

This is not as good as the temporary resting place they found on the road, the wind is blowing everywhere, and there is no place to block it.

Just as Xia Qiyue was complaining, Li Zheng was called by the official to talk for a while, then came over in a hurry and took all the men away to work.

To be precise, it is necessary to build several porridge sheds, which can accommodate about [-] people in Shanbei Zhuangzi.

After the men left, not long after, horse-drawn carriages brought goods over, which meant that there would be porridge for them to drink at night.

This day the Son of Heaven is quite caring for the people. He can arrange the victims so well.

"Hey? Girl Qiyue, I told you that the porridge shed will not be removed until we build our own yard!" Seeing Xia Qiyue get off the carriage, Wang Dazui hurried over to her and said, "This It’s finally a bit of a guarantee!”

Xia Qiyue originally thought that the relief food that the officials said meant that the food would be given to them, but it was given in this way.

"Aunt Dazui, it seems that a big pot has been set up to start cooking?" Xia Qiyue pointed to the three carriages that had just been pulled over. There were iron pots and firewood, and there should be a few bags of grain. Follow a lot of people dressed as maids and mothers-in-law, and ask a question.

In fact, she never got out of the carriage, and her carriage was also afraid of being abrupt, so An Youde and the others parked the carriage farther away.

"That's right, it seems that some high-ranking official in the capital is serving the porridge today. I don't know, but it looks like he brought a lot of food!"

"Senior official? Porridge? Isn't it the relief food given by the court?" Xia Qiyue asked ignorantly.

"You haven't heard of this, have you? The relief food given by the imperial court is only one meal a day, and the second meal is porridge given by rich people in the capital. We can eat two meals a day!"

I have to say that people are called Big Mouth, and the news is well-informed.

It was only then that Xia Qiyue figured out that wherever the victims were arranged, the officials there had to be responsible for collecting donations.

And they belonged to the capital, and Jiuli Town was only nine miles away from the capital, so it was normal for high officials from the capital to come over.

But it is said that it is only nine miles away from the capital, but the land boundary is nine miles away, and the population and houses are far away from the capital. According to the distance they traveled, it is at least thirty miles. They didn't pass through Jiuli Town, they went here directly, and they don't know about nine miles. What about the mayor, Xia Qiyue has no interest in porridge, but has a strong interest in the town so close to the capital.
