Chapter 15 The Heart of Compassion
"Sister, is it safe to put him back?" Wu Qingmiao disagreed.

Wu Qingxi looked at the drug stall that had been kicked over, expressionless: "Second brother, let everyone know, we can pack up and leave."

ha?Running away?

Chu Baijin thought that there would be a package plan behind Wu Qingxi, but she didn't expect to run away directly.

To be honest, he was a little disappointed.

"You seem very disappointed?" Wu Qingxi glanced at Chu Baijin, "If I remember correctly, you should very much hope to go to Xing County as soon as possible."

Chu Baijin was a little embarrassed, but the fact seemed to be true.

However, this feeling of disappointment has not diminished much.

After getting in touch with Wu Qingxi these days, I always feel that she is not an anticlimactic person.

However, it is obvious that Wu Qingxi will not talk to him.

After the samurai carriage moved around, the people around were startled.

What do you mean?
If they left suddenly, what about their medicine?
"Hey, if we knew this earlier, we should have stood up to help just now." An old man in the crowd said weakly.

The people around bowed their heads instantly, feeling a little ashamed in their hearts.

They really wanted to avoid things just now, but now that they think about it, they were a little bit ungrateful.

"What now?"

Yeah, what now?
"What else can we do? The Wu family will definitely not forgive us. Hey, fortunately, I have drank a lot of medicine these days, and my health is much better. Let's go."

The originally bustling ruined temple returned to dilapidation and tranquility after an hour.

……

"Give me some saliva! Please!"

"Master, give me some water, the child is dying of thirst!"

There were wailing sounds along the road, and Wu Qingxi's heart sank the further he walked.

It has not rained for more than half a month, and most of the originally abundant water sources have dried up.

Seeing that they were about to enter Xing County, the number of victims did not decrease at all, but increased.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't.

If she remembers correctly, there are two large reservoirs in Xingxian County, and the water conservancy office must determine the water level every year.

Even if the severe drought lasts for two or three months, there should be no shortage of water.

Then why are there so many people without water?

Father Wu and Niang Wu have never seen this kind of scene before, they just bring some water for themselves, and they have to be careful when cooking, and now they can't take it out to help others.

After all, not one or two people.

"Great kind man, please, give the child a sip of water." Wu Qingxi was hugged by his calf as soon as he got off the carriage.

Looking down, a mother with chapped lips and a two-year-old child tied on her back.

However, the child seemed to have passed out.

Without hesitation, Wu Qingxi took out the bamboo tube containing water in his arms, and the woman wanted to rush up to get it, but she didn't dare.

"Put the baby down, I'll feed the water."

The woman put the child down quickly after hearing the words, and Wu Qingxi slowly fed the child with water.

It seemed to be an instinct, the child couldn't even open his eyes, but he kept swallowing.

The eyes of the people around him lit up instantly, wanting to rush forward.

Fortunately, the Wu family and the Tao family brothers formed a circle, surrounding Wu Qingxi and the mother and daughter.

Seeing this, a few smarter ones knelt down in an instant, and there was a half-grown child kneeling next to them.

Wu Qingxi had anticipated this scene a long time ago and gave each child water.

The bamboo tube is not small, but there will always be a day without water.

After finally dissuading the crowd, Tao Jin and Tao Yin breathed a sigh of relief.

After this period of time, they finally understood that the Wu family had the final say on their own cousin.

Following the Wu family, they can be regarded as having a comfortable life without worrying about food and drink for a few days.

But now the water source is scarce. If they hadn't swallowed two buckets in the car in advance, they would probably be short of water now.

"Did you see that? That woman is so generous, there must be water in their carriage."

"Brother, shall we grab it openly?"

"Otherwise, if Xing County doesn't open the city gate, we can't find water to drink. What else can we do but wait for death?"

"But……"

They used to be honest peasants, but now they suddenly want to do such a thing, and they really feel a little bit uncomfortable.

"Do you want to starve your wife and children to death?"

The leading man narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists to encourage himself.

After hearing this, several people fell silent.

The corners of Wu Qingxi's mouth raised slightly. Did these people pretend that they lowered their voices so that others could not hear them?

During this period of practice, her abilities in all aspects have improved a lot.

Let alone a distance of more than ten feet, even if it is fifty feet away, you may not be able to hear it if you calm down.

Obviously, she was not the only one who heard it.

"Do you need me to deal with them in advance?" Chu Baijin frowned and said.

Wu Qingxi glanced at him: "To be honest, don't frown, it's even uglier, it hurts your eyes."

Chu Baijin: "..."

It's not that Wu Qingxi is picky, it's because I have seen too many beautiful men before, all of them are beautifully dressed, which is pleasing to the eye.

It's good now, it doesn't matter if the man is in power, and he walked all the way, but he didn't see a few good-looking ones.

Could it be that there is a problem with water and soil?
Wu Qingxi shook her head. Fortunately, the original owner had already given birth to a child, and she didn't have any pressure to get married in her life.

Otherwise, how can they reproduce in the future?You can't turn off the lights and close your eyes.

Thinking about it this way, I couldn't even arouse the slightest interest.

What do you mean by shaking your head?
Chu Baijin was a little angry, and really wanted to find out her previous portraits and show her a good look.

In the past, when he went out, he didn't know how many famous ladies stopped to peek.

It's just that he'd always found it annoying.

But now, I feel inexplicably nostalgic.

"Don't act rashly, they are just desperate ordinary people." Wu Qingxi left after finishing speaking.

……

"Magistrate Liu, what should we do now?" Master asked nervously.

The refugees outside have already started pounding on the city gates, if they don't open, will there be problems later?
"Hmph, these unscrupulous people, Min County has been hit by a disaster, what do we care about our Xing County? If this dries up the reservoir in Xing County, what will we do in the future?"

Master: "The reservoir is so big, can't it?"

"No? What do you, a little master, know? Will you be able to bear this responsibility then?"

The master bowed his head, not daring to say anything more.

The county magistrate said so, if something goes wrong in the future, wouldn't it be all on him?
He only has one head, but he can't lose it.

"Go, ask the defenders to strengthen the city gate. If these people still force their way in, it will be a rebellion."

The magistrate narrowed his mouth leisurely: "If you rebel, you will be shot to death!"

Everyone was shocked, why did they suddenly become rebellious?
Sure enough, there are two official characters, ha ha.

"By the way, master, you are ready to go, we will go out later." The more he thought about it, the more inappropriate it became, Liu Wei felt that he still needed to find a helper.

If there was a rebellion, how could the dozens of people in this yamen be able to defeat the most vicious troublemakers.
