Nongwomen's Spring

Chapter 118 It's No Reason To Trap You (9)
"Lord County Magistrate, are the four mountains in Liujia Village over there uninhabited?" Zhang Qian asked with a smile.

Lord Bao frowned, his cheeks twitched, and he looked at Zhang Qian in pain and asked, "You must be thinking about those four mountains, right?"

"That's right, hehe, magistrate, our young couple have helped you so much, it doesn't seem too much to ask you for four mountains, you say yes, if you don't believe me, I can The calculation is for you, that is..." Zhang Qian pointed at Mr. Bao to calculate the general ledger with her fingers.

Before she could finish speaking, Mr. Bao stretched out his hand and interrupted, "Stop, okay, there are only four mountains, I will give it." Mr. Bao almost gritted his teeth to say the last two words.

After Zhang Qian got the right to use these four mountains, she finally asked the puzzlement in her heart, "Master Bao, I want to ask you a question. You can do this task by yourself, but why did you leave it to our little one?" Two bites?"

"Do you think I don't want to do it? I also want to cut out four mountains for you two bandits. If I had two holy snakes, I would have arranged for someone to do it myself." Mr. Bao was so angry that his beard was about to stick up, and he stared. Big eyes yelled at Zhang Qian.

When Zhang Qian heard this, she immediately understood, it turned out to be the case, no wonder Master Bao wanted to entrust the matter to her and Liu Jun, and he wanted to use the reputation of the Holy Snake to appease the hearts of these refugees.

As soon as the young couple left the county office, they saw ten ox carts parked at the door, all of which were filled with bags of grain. Behind the ten ox carts, a group of people stood densely, some old and some young. , all of them had tattered clothes, and their hair was messed up like a chicken coop.

The young couple looked at each other, and headed back towards Liujia Village with food and people.

Before reaching the village entrance, someone reported the news to Village Chief Liu. When Village Chief Liu heard that Liu Jun and his wife had brought many refugees back, Village Chief Liu was so frightened that he ran out of the village entrance.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, Village Chief Liu saw these people, and walked up to Liu Jun and Zhang Qian with a sad face, "Liu Jun boy, Liu Jun's wife, didn't you go to the county to ask the county magistrate for food? Why did you bring someone with you?" Are you back? There is no food left in our village!"

"Village chief, don't worry, the county magistrate said that he will pay for the food of these refugees, and these refugees were brought back by the county magistrate, and he asked us to arrange for these people to live. A thousand acres of barren land is also granted to these refugees so that they can take root here in the future." Liu Jun explained to Village Chief Liu.

After listening to Liu Jun's words, Village Chief Liu knew that these people were brought back by the county magistrate. Who is the county magistrate? He is the parent official here. I dare not show it in person.

"Now that the drought has become like this, what is the use of those fields?" Village head Liu looked more sad. There were more than 100 refugees outside the village, and now there are five or six hundred refugees. It became a refugee village.

Zhang Qian looked back at the group of refugees behind her. These people had traveled a long distance for a month or two to escape here. In addition, because they had no food on the way, they were all starving and thin, sitting on the ground out of breath. It was miserable.

"Village Chief, let's settle these people down first. I think some of them are still sick. Find a place for them to rest." Zhang Qian said to the nagging Village Chief Liu.

Village head Liu glanced at it, and sighed again, "Put them in that house outside the village first, tell them to squeeze in with the refugees from yesterday first, and tomorrow we will arrange some people to go up the mountain to chop Come back and build a house with some trees."

With so many refugees living together, Zhang Qian was worried that these people would carry some infectious diseases. For the sake of everyone and the villagers, Zhang Qian took out a bucket of spring water in the evening and diluted it into several large buckets with clear water from the well. After the water was boiled, Liu Jun asked the villagers to bring the water to the open space outside the village for them to drink.

Zhang Qian believes that those who are not sick can at least recover their strength quickly after drinking this water, and those who are sick can also be cured.

That night, in the refugee camp outside the village, although the place where everyone slept was crowded, they all had smiles on their sleeping faces.

How many days have passed since the drought happened, and their family has moved here. Along the way, they have nothing to eat or drink, and sometimes they are really thirsty, so they drink the urine they have pulled down into their stomachs .

But tonight, their stomachs are full, and their mouths are no longer thirsty. In their dreams, they are all doing their own rooting here and living a good life with wives and children.

The drought continues, but here in the refugee camp, everyone's fear of the drought is no longer seen. Perhaps life here has made them forget this horror for a while.

Today, Liu Jun took the men from the refugee camp to cut trees and build houses on the mountain, while the women followed Zhang Qian to make a fire and cook.

"My benefactor, it is thanks to you and my benefactor that we can live with porridge and water again. We are here to thank you, benefactor." A group of women led their children and the elderly to the Where Zhang Qian was working, everyone knelt in front of Zhang Qian with a look of emotion.

Zhang Qian was taken aback by their big Chen Zhan, and quickly asked them to get up, "Don't do this, get up first."

There are many old people kneeling here, and the old man knelt on her, isn't this a blessing to her?Without further ado, Zhang Qian stepped forward to help the old man kneeling in front of her up first.

Seeing someone standing up, the others stood up one after another.

Behind Zhang Qian, the women of Liujia Village who came with her saw this happy and sad moment, their eyes were red, and they turned their heads and secretly wiped the tears from their eyes with their sleeves.

"Liu Jun's young couple are really nice. It is a blessing for our Liujia Village to have them in our Liujia Village." Mrs. Liu Liu, the daughter-in-law of Village Chief Liu, she heard from her husband at the beginning, the reason why her village can advance Finding a good water source and storing good food, these achievements were not predicted by the uncles in the clan, but Liu Jun and his wife told them.

The other women were still looking down on Liu Jun's young couple in their hearts, thinking that their young couple only cared about making money for themselves, and didn't know how to give some business to take care of the folks, but now, they realized that this young couple is not bad, at this time , Everyone agreed with Liu Liushi's words and nodded.

"Don't thank me first, it's up to you whether you can survive this drought, but the most important thing now is to take care of everyone, so that you can have the capital to fight this damn drought." Zhang Qian After seeing them all standing up, he looked at these people who were so thin because of hunger and said.
