In the outer room of Hou Men, she took advantage of her beauty to commit murder

The days passed little by little, and soon it was the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the day of the Laba Festival.

A lot of things have happened these days. For example, the snow disaster in Saibei is said to be serious, and there is even a snowstorm.

In addition, in some places, due to bad weather or other reasons, wild beasts from deep mountains and wild forests break into villages and destroy them.

In order to survive, the people had no choice but to leave their homes. It was freezing cold, they were short of clothes and water, and they were tired of traveling. Many people died on the way.

Even far away in the capital, Luo Siyun could hear from Liu Ma from time to time about villages buried in snow, with most of the casualties, wild beasts, and even bandits appearing...

Moreover, these turmoils also have the intention to go south, and the refugees are coming soon, causing people in the city to panic, and even Prime Minister Cen is alarmed!
I heard that Prime Minister Cen was going to invite himself to provide disaster relief today, but he didn't know what the emperor meant.

But this has nothing to do with Luo Siyun. She is now rushing to a Salesian church on the outskirts of the capital.

Today is the Laba Festival. Early in the morning, Luo Siyun asked Ma Liu to hire a carriage and went to the street to buy a lot of things, including shoes, socks, clothing, cakes, candles, pens and ink... everything, filling a whole cart.

This was what she was going to give to the children in the Salesian Church.

In order to help the children who really need it, she also asked Ma Liu to go to the streets, alleys, and even the front of her teeth to find a place specially selected for her.

It is definitely one of the Salesian churches with the worst conditions near Beijing.

After the carriage left the capital, it drove for more than an hour and finally arrived.

After getting off the carriage, looking at the shabby little yard in front of him, and then at the desolate fields around him, Luo Siyun had a flash of surprise in his eyes, and turned to look at Liu's mother.

"We can't go wrong, can we?"

Mother Liu looked around, thought about it seriously, and then affirmed, "This slave specially looked at the car driven by Huaishan, there is nothing wrong!"

As she said that, she looked around confusedly, obviously a little confused about this situation.

Huaishan scratched his head and said, "My subordinate and the young master have traveled north and south for many years. I know the route very well, but I can't make mistakes even if someone shows me the way!"

The unspoken meaning is that unless the road was wrong from the beginning, he could not have gone wrong!

Luo Siyun nodded, she naturally believed in Huaishan's ability.

Everyone is so sure, it seems that this courtyard should be the Salesian Church...!
Luo Siyun looked hesitantly at the only courtyard here. Unfortunately, the door was too shabby and there was no plaque on it.

There may have been it before, but I don’t know what I have experienced, and there is only one edge left.

Luo Siyun thought to himself as he glanced at the small half of the board remaining on the broken door.

Anyway, we’ve come this far, so let’s go up and take a look!

Thinking about it, Luo Siyun raised his feet and walked closer.

Looking at the closed door, she squeezed the bar and was about to speak when she stared at it as if she had seen something.

I saw three large crooked characters carved on the door, which had lost all its paint. They were the words Salesian Church.

She smiled, tilted her chin and gestured, "It seems like you are really on the right track!"

These three words are almost integrated into the scratches and unknown dirt all over the door. If you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all.

Following her line of sight, Lu Mei stepped forward curiously, looked at it carefully, and smiled.

"It's really the Salesian Church. Girl, your eyes are so good!" she sighed.

"But... this door is too casual!" She raised her head and glanced at the tortured door.

I don’t know if I can block someone else’s kick.

"It doesn't matter whether you are casual or not. What is important is that you come at the right time!" Luo Siyun hugged the hand stove in his hand and turned to gesture to Huaishan.

After receiving the instruction, Huaishan stepped forward, grabbed the only remaining knocker on the door, and lightly buttoned it.

"Knock knock knock!"

After locking the door, he politely waited for the person inside to respond.

After a long time, there was a "Hu-" sound. Looking at the motionless yard, Luo Siyun blinked and looked at Huaishan.

Huaishan nodded, grabbed the door knocker and buckled it with more force.

"Knock Knock Knock!"

"Knock Knock-"

After dunking, he shouted loudly, "Is anyone there?"

Seeing that there was still no response, Huaishan raised his eyebrows in surprise and simply opened the door.

"Bang, bang bang—"

As he knocked, the door continued to make overwhelming shaking sounds, and there was even dust falling above the head.

This made Luo Siyun's eyelids jump and he subconsciously took a few steps back.

Without noticing her movements, Huaishan knocked on the door and shouted,
The hard work paid off. After about a stick of incense, a trembling voice finally came from inside, "Who is it? It's coming!"

"We are from the Luo family in the capital. I would like to ask, is this Salesian Church here?" Huaishan shouted loudly.

The old woman at the door was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that someone would come looking for them in such a snowy day.

After reacting, he quickly responded loudly, "Yes, this is the Salesian Church. Are you coughing, coughing, coughing..." As soon as he finished responding, he suddenly coughed loudly.

"Cough cough cough, cough cough..."

Listening to the violent coughing inside, Luo Siyun and Lu Mei looked at each other.

Luo Siyun silently took out her face towel from her arms and put it on her face.

Talk is better than nothing!
Hearing the coughing inside, Huaishan was also a little panicked, but the most important thing was to open the door. Thinking of this, he quickly said, "Old lady, please open the door!"

Although it didn't snow heavily today, it still snowed a little, and it was really cold when it fell on my face.

If it hadn't been for the fact that Jingguo has become stronger and stronger over the years, the national treasury has more money, and the roads outside the city have been made very spacious, they still wouldn't be able to get here.

"Ahem, cough... I'm sorry, oh, sir, please wait a moment!" After finally suppressing it, the old lady replied slowly.

It's not that she didn't want to hurry, it was actually very windy and snowy these days. In order to keep the door, they used things to block it.

Although it is not difficult to open, it does take some time.

After about a cup of tea, with a long and sharp "squeak" sound, the door finally opened, revealing a short figure who was trying very hard to open the door.

This is an old woman with gray hair, her face is covered with wrinkles like spider webs, and her eyes are narrowed to only a slit.Her body was thin and withered like a piece of withered bark, as if a gust of wind could blow her down.

She faced the cold wind and opened the door tremblingly. She was trembling as if she would fall down in the next second.

Huaishan was so frightened that he quickly stepped forward to help, "Old man, I'll do it!"

Seeing that he was so active, the old woman didn't force him, she simply let go and let him do it.

She turned around and looked at Luo Siyun, who was standing behind and saw that he was her master. With a big smile on her face, she said in a hoarse voice, "Miss, are you looking for our Salesian Church?"

Luo Siyun nodded slightly and asked with a smile, "Hello, old lady, who are you?"

The old woman laughed, revealing that most of her teeth had been lost, leaving only two shaky front teeth, and said with a smile, "I am the director of the Salesian Church, cough cough cough..." As she said that, there was another violent cough, In order not to affect others, she quickly covered her mouth tightly with a brown handkerchief.

"Cough cough cough..." Because he coughed so hard, his face turned red and the wrinkles on it trembled, looking horrifying and pitiful.

Listening to her coughing, Luo Siyun's eyes flashed with worry, and he subconsciously stepped forward to hold her steady.

"Cough cough cough..." After coughing for a while, the old lady stopped, put the handkerchief into her sleeve, and looked at Luo Siyun with an embarrassed look on her face, "Oh, I'm sorry for making you laugh!"

"My surname is He. Miss He, you can call me Mama He or Grandma He!"

Seeing that she was fine, Luo Siyun let go of her hand, trying his best to ignore the smell of the old man's unique smell on his hand, and said with a smile, "My surname is Luo, mama!"

"I wonder if Miss Luo is here today. What's the matter?"

Luo Siyun showed a smile on his face and said, "Today is the Laba Festival. I am grateful to my ancestors for being deceived, so I thought of giving something to the children so that they can have a good year!"

As she spoke, she tilted her head, "Why is it so quiet here? Where are the children?"

"Why don't you see them coming out?"

Listening to her innocent question, Grandma He smiled bitterly, shook her head, and explained, "It's a cold snowy day, and the children don't have clothes or medicine to keep out the cold. How can they go out casually? Naturally, they can only stay in the house!"

She put it euphemistically, but in fact it is not that simple.

But because of the heavy snowfall a few days ago, in order to prevent the snow from damaging the roof, everyone had to shovel snow day and night. Anyone who could stand had to work.

It was finally not that cold today, and the snow was not heavy. Everyone naturally took the time to rest and relieve their fatigue. They all slept soundly now!

Moreover, winter consumes too much physical energy, and there is not enough food in the hall. If it is not necessary, it is natural to move as little as possible.

If it hadn't been getting late and she was planning to come out to make lunch, they would probably have to wait for a long time.

Speaking of which, the rice grain in this rice vat has almost reached its bottom, and I don’t know how many more days it can last.

It’s only been less than two months since winter started. How can I get through it...

Thinking of this, a trace of sadness flashed in Nanny He's eyes.

"So that's it!" Luo Siyun nodded.

"Since you are here to give things to the children, come in quickly!" Nanny He said again.

"Thank you, mama!" Luo Siyun nodded, then turned sideways, revealing the carriage behind him, "But we still have a carriage!"

Grandma He raised her head, glanced at the carriage, and said with a smile, "Of course we'll come in too!"

"This is the carriage that needs to lift the threshold when it comes in!" He pointed to the threshold and said apologetically, "I'm really weak, so I have to lift it myself!"

"It's okay, I'm strong!" Huaishan stepped forward directly, lifted the threshold and put it aside.

Seeing this, Nanny He showed a smile and said slowly, "Okay, you guys just come with me!" After saying that, she turned around and walked slowly towards the house.

"Mom, please lead the way!" Luo Siyun nodded, glanced at Huaishan and Liu Ma, and then followed with Lu Mei.

After receiving the signal from his eyes, Huaishan hurriedly walked towards the carriage.

Mother Liu stood guard by the door. After he pulled the carriage into the yard, she lowered the threshold and closed the door.

Walking into the courtyard, Luo Siyun took a closer look. This was an entrance courtyard with a layout similar to the courtyard she used to live in in Ling'an County.

It's just that compared to her exquisite yard, this place is smaller and extremely dilapidated.

The upside-down house looks dilapidated, but it is one of the few good houses here, but this is just a rough look.

If you look closely, you can see that one side of the tiles has disappeared, revealing a big hole, and snowflakes drifted into the house along the hole.

The remaining half looks like it should be the kitchen!

The one that is even more dilapidated than the ruined house is probably the west wing. It has completely collapsed. Apart from the pile of broken bricks and tiles, the only thing standing is the outer wall.

Fortunately, that wall is an external wall. Its existence can enclose the yard and bring a sense of security to the people inside.

Although it's less, it's better than nothing...

Compared with the pile of rags in the west wing, the east wing looks better, but the pillars in the corridor seem to be cracked and tilted to one side for some unknown reason.

Even the tiled roof above also fell down, looking shaky.

In order to prevent the house from collapsing, they surrounded the broken area with wooden boards and tied it tightly with hemp rope.

Even so, it looks very unsafe, and I don’t know how long it will last!
Seeing Luo Siyun lowering his gaze towards the pillar, Grandma He sighed and explained, "That pillar was broken when there was heavy snowfall last year. The snow on the roof was too thick and it broke!"

"We only have a few houses, so naturally we can't let them collapse, but we don't have the money to repair them, so we can only stay like this!"

"It looks very unstable. No one lives inside, right?" Luo Siyun frowned.

"We still live there in the summer. After all, it's just a broken pillar, so it's not a big deal!" Aunt He smiled, "But since autumn, the wind has been strong, so for safety, we moved everyone out. !”

"After winter, the snow keeps falling, and the snow is almost as high as the thighs. For safety reasons, it is even more uninhabitable! ... Now it is just used as a utility room and half a woodshed!" What is not commonly used? Put the priceless things in there, there is no other place except there.

Hearing what she said, Luo Siyun breathed a sigh of relief.

"Isn't it said that the imperial court allocates funds every year? Why not use the money to repair houses?" Luo Siyun was curious.

After a while, she also saw that Grandma He didn't look like a greedy person, so how could she still live such a miserable life.

After listening to her words, Grandma He smiled and said nothing.

It happened that they also walked to the only main house in the yard that was still intact.

After leading Luo Siyun and his party to the door, Grandma He opened the door without giving them a chance to react.

Luo Siyun stretched his head curiously and looked at the environment inside, with a flash of shock in his eyes.
