Dragging the family to flee famine?Don't be afraid, I have room to fill the granary

Chapter 171 Chapter 171: The Tu family father and son who were thrown into the mountains to throw their bodies
"How's the current downstream situation?" Tao Qiqi asked.

Fu Shi replied: "The lower reaches are under the jurisdiction of another county, and their rivers are currently draining normally. The villages near the rivers have not been affected much except that the crops have not been planted."

"In addition, after the river in Jinxiang County was filled in two years ago, the magistrate of the upstream county, Changdao County, knew about it and ordered people to dig a new river to connect to the downstream county street in Jinxiang County."

"In this way, their drainage has two directions, one to the new river, and the other to Jinxiang County."

"After all, the villagers here in Jinxiang County also need water to grow crops."

"So now there is no problem upstream, and there is no problem downstream. Only the entire Jinxiang County in the middle, including the villages, is flooded. There is no way, they are the only ones who have no river drainage!"

After Fu Shi finished speaking, seeing that Tao Qiqi didn't speak, he quickly said: "Actually, it's thanks to Jinxiang County for taking over everything this time."

"How?" Li Xia asked.

"Because the water in Changdao County flows in two directions and the drainage is fast, Changdao County is not flooded. The water in Jinxiang County is blocked here and cannot be drained, so the downstream drainage pressure is not so great, so they also The fate of being flooded was avoided. Otherwise, with the momentum of the flood, it would not be impossible to flood Jinxiang County and downstream counties together. Even Changdao County would not be spared."

"Now if one Jinxiang county is exchanged for one upstream, the safety of the two downstream counties will not be compromised."

After listening to Fu Shi's words, Tao Qiqi changed the subject and asked, "How are the folks in other villages doing in the past two days?"

As soon as Fu Shi heard this question, he immediately replied with a smile: "Miss Xiaoyu understands our girls' hearts best. So this morning, I sent everyone to check the situation in each village, and send other supplies that are lacking in each village."

"After all the supplies were delivered, the situation of the villagers has improved a lot. In addition, there are village doctors in every village. With the medicine given to them by the girl, their physical condition has also improved a lot. The fever is basically gone. Only Some villagers are still coughing, and they should drink the potion for another two days and there will be no big problem."

Hearing the news, Tao Qiqi felt relieved.

Afterwards, she thought of County Magistrate Tu and Mr. Tu who were tied to the gate of the county government office by her.

Tao Qiqi asked again: "Have you dealt with the kidnapped magistrate Tu and Mr. Tu?"

Fu Shi replied: "I came to see it yesterday, and those two guys were soaked in a bad way, and then we directly threw the corpse on the mountain. If we didn't throw the corpse, we would not dare to be eaten by the fish inside." Eat the fish in here."

Lixia on the side smiled and said: "Then you are not afraid of being eaten by wild beasts in the mountains. Why don't you go and fight the wild beasts back to eat?"

Fu Shi: "That's different!"

Li Xia: "Why is it different?"

Fu Shi: "Think about it! The fish are small, and when the fish grow up after eating them, we will feel a sense of shock when we eat fish. But the beasts are different! Once they are big, they taste different."

"Moreover, the most important thing is that we don't have to hunt in that location! We won't be in a hurry if we change the location. After all, even if the beasts run away, they won't run from one hill to that hill!"

Li Xia nodded after listening: "It seems quite reasonable."

At this time, Tao Qiqi on the side said angrily: "Throwing into the deep mountain is right. If you stay here, it will pollute the water in this pond. It's better to throw it into the deep mountain so that there are no bones and scum left. Such scum is now This kind of fate is considered cheap for them.”

Hearing Tao Qiqi's angry voice, Li Xia and Fu Shi had a tacit understanding and stopped talking.

Not long after, the bamboo raft reached the shore again, and then Fu Shi was heard saying: "Girl, we are here, we can change the carriage."

"Okay." Tao Qiqi agreed, then got off the bamboo raft with Li Xia's support, and then got into the carriage.

But as soon as she got into the carriage, Tao Qiqi looked at Li Xia and asked, "Li Xia, how are Madam and the others in Changdao County these days?"

Li Xia replied: "In the county government, the county magistrate and Mr. Gu took great care of us. Everyone is very good. But you girl, how do you feel that you have lost weight after only seeing each other for two days?"

Tao Qiqi: "Don't talk about it, I didn't sleep all night the night before, slept for half a day at dawn, and ran to the mountains in the afternoon. Last night, I felt like I slept, but I didn't seem to sleep. It's not that I lost weight, it's that I'm haggard. "

Last night, Tao Qiqi set up the tent next to their house in order to keep an eye on Shunzi's daughter-in-law's situation at any time.

As a result, the child cried all night last night, and the tent itself had no soundproofing effect, so she was tortured by the child's crying all night.I felt vaguely as if I had slept, but also as if I had not slept.

When Li Xia heard it, he immediately said: "Then girl, hurry up and sleep next to me in the carriage, and I will call you when I arrive."

"Okay." Tao Qiqi agreed, yawned and fell asleep leaning on Li Xia's shoulder.

Looking at the deeply sleeping girl, Li Xia also had a distressed face.He hurriedly said to Fu Shi who was driving the carriage: "Fu Shi, the girl is asleep, please hurry up and be careful, don't bump the girl."

After speaking, he took out the cloak in the carriage and covered Tao Qiqi, for fear that his daughter would catch a cold.

After Fu Shi, who was driving the carriage, heard Li Xia's words, the carriage obviously slowed down a lot, and it became less bumpy once it slowed down.

This made Tao Qiqi sleep more comfortably.

Of course, because of this, it was already dark when they returned to Changdao County.

Fortunately, they walked slowly, the horse could still see the road, and brought everyone back without any accidents.

Qi Mei and his party, who were originally waiting for Tao Qiqi and the others to come back for dinner, immediately gathered around when they saw Tao Qiqi's figure.

"Why did you come back so late? Did something happen on the way?" Qi Mei asked worriedly.

Looking at her worried mother, Tao Qiqi hurriedly explained: "Mother, no. After getting into the carriage, I was too sleepy. Fu Shi was worried that I wouldn't be able to rest well, so the carriage drove slowly and came back later. "

"Oh, counting the time, you can come back in time for dinner, but I haven't seen you all come back. I thought something happened on the road again. Are the villagers who are suffering now okay?" Qi Mei asked.

"The refugees have no major difficulties now. The only problem now is the flooded Jinxiang County. When we came back, the entire Jinxiang County had been flooded. The water level did not fall but was still rising. Looking at the current situation, I am afraid that the entire Jinxiang County must be relocated.”

Jiang Su nodded: "Well, you haven't been at home for the past two days, and Xiaoyu also asked everyone to check around. Now the water is probably not easy to drain, and the only thing is to move."

"But relocation is not a trivial matter, and it costs a lot of money." Tao Qiqi suddenly thought of it again, and then looked at everyone and asked: "By the way, how is the fundraising going these few days? How much money has been raised so far?”
