Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 414
The little daughter-in-law usually lit a fire to cook, and she was really a good hand. She only used six or seven sticks of firewood to boil a large pot of soup.Xi Yuan immediately remembered her appearance in her heart, and secretly decided to ask her to help light the fire in the next few days.

All the girls busily served soup and rice to everyone, and everyone ate in silence. No one complained that there was no oil in the soup or that the rice was raw. In the face of survival, these difficulties were simply insignificant.

Xiao An warmed up the remaining half bag of milk, carefully fed the child, then carried him into the wooden house, and handed him over to a young woman who was also very young.

Mu Ai picked up the rice bowl, but felt that her chest was getting more and more congested, she hesitated for a while, then put it down, and ordered Xifu to take it down.

Seeing that Madam's complexion was not good, Xifu knew that she was thinking about her young master and Master Ouyang, so she went to find Xing'er, Simba and Cheng'er, and gave some instructions in a low voice.

The three children surrounded their mother, asking questions, and clamoring to have dinner with their mother.

Knowing the children's kindness, Mu Ai reluctantly ate a few mouthfuls of food, then brought out the lychees, and peeled the fruits for the three children to cook.

Xifu sighed helplessly, turned around and continued to work.

After eating, everyone gathered together to gossip, or comfort each other, or stare blankly at the increasingly gloomy sky outside.

It wasn't until ten o'clock in the evening that shadowy crowds appeared in the rain and fog in the distance, and more than a dozen survivors were rescued, but Ouyang and the two children still did not come back, but someone deliberately brought Ouyang's words, saying that the two children It's all good, don't worry about it, this made Mu Ai feel relieved a little.

Since that night, everyone has not closed their eyes, and people have been sent back. They have to take care of them to change their wet clothes, fill them with spring water, and prepare food for everyone outside. Fortunately, Chenger and Simba are all helping. Steamed buns wrapped in oiled paper.

Mu Ai was worried that the night would be dark, and Ouyang and others could not find their way back, so they tore down a quilt with their own hands, wrapped the cotton around wooden sticks, soaked it in vegetable oil, and inserted one every three steps around the camp, It shone brightly in the camp.

Sure enough, some people who came back to deliver the wounded said that they felt warm when they saw the light on the top of the mountain from the bottom of the mountain.

In this way, after dawn, nearly 300 people had gathered in the camp, which became more and more crowded, and more people needed to work together to eat the food.

Muai looked at the three children who had fallen asleep exhausted, tucked them up with blankets, and then sent some fruits to the children and elders in the wooden house. Hearing them talk about the villages along the Lianhua River, it seemed that they were all submerged by floods. And the Lianhua River is only a branch of the Lingjiang River, so the Lingjiang River must have a greater volume of water, and the people on both sides have been more severely affected.

I just don't know if the imperial court has received a warning, and when will it be able to allocate relief money and tell the government to release food, but with the current situation of heavy rain, I am afraid that even if the government wants to distribute porridge and food, it is impossible.

The news from down the mountain kept coming. Mu Ai had never heard that someone was flooded because of saving someone, and he felt better.

I don't know if the gods heard the prayers of the people, or finally poured out all their anger. At the end of the afternoon, the heavy rain gradually turned into moderate rain and light rain, and finally it cleared up slowly, and the heavy clouds in the sky faded , revealing patches of mottled light blue sky.

Everyone cheered, and Mu Ai's face also showed joy, and waved away the aura mask, and a damp air rushed to the face, everywhere in the mountain forest seemed to be full of water at any time, and occasionally a few beasts cried When it came from afar, it obviously also contained the meaning of infinite joy.

Cheng'er and Simba ran over, clamoring to find their elder brother, but were coaxed and persuaded by Mu Ai.

The two were pouting and looking around, suddenly cheered, and ran out. It turned out that in the distance, Ouyang finally came back with a group of people.

Dayu and Tao'er were also mixed in the crowd, their clothes were soaked, their hair was disheveled, their backpacks were gone, and half of their bodies were stained with mud instead, their faces were haggard, but their spirits seemed to be fine.Ouyang was also in a panic, but his body didn't look like he had any scars. Mu Ai let out a long breath, and the oppression in his chest finally eased a little.

She hurriedly ordered the maids to bring water and food to everyone, watching her family's big and small gobbled it up, feeling distressed and funny at the same time.

Ouyang ate two bowls of rice, put down the bowls and chopsticks, looked up at the sky, relaxed his brows a little, and said, "It will be much easier when the sky clears. The flood probably affected at least four cities, and many people must have suffered.”

Mu Ai nodded, and said consolingly, "The imperial court will definitely not sit idly by in such a big disaster, let's do our best to rescue it in the next few days."

Seeing that everyone was busy, Ouyang took her hand and said in a low voice, "I made you suffer. If you didn't come to save me, you wouldn't have encountered such a thing."

Mu Ai smiled lightly, "What stupid things are you talking about, and what kind of suffering do I suffer? There is no rain, and there is no shortage of food and drink. It's just... I miss you a little bit."

Ouyang glanced at Dayu and Tao'er, "These two children are not bad."

It was rare for Mu Ai to hear words of praise from him, and it was his own child who was praised, the corners of his mouth were raised higher, and he said proudly, "Of course, you didn't see who raised them."

Ouyang also smiled dotingly after hearing this not-so-modest words.

Mu Ai collected the bowls and chopsticks, found a new set of clothes that he had prepared a few days ago, urged him to change, and arranged him to rest on the air cushion.

Ouyang didn't close his eyes for a night or two, and he was already exhausted from saving people and taking care of the two children. At this moment, he knew that Mu Ai was a good director and would definitely arrange the people in the camp properly. In a moment, he fell asleep peacefully.

Mu Ai was very distressed, wiped his hair lightly, covered him with the quilt, and turned around only to find that Dayu and Tao'er were also sleeping on the linoleum.

He immediately called two people to help her carry the two children into the wooden house, took off their shoes and socks with their own hands, and put on clean clothes. In the cold, they poured hot water for them and soaked them for a long time before leaving the wooden house.

The previous batch of returned personnel began to take over, and groups of ten took turns going down the mountain to observe the water regime.When night fell, Ouyang woke up, ate another hot meal with everyone, and then went down the mountain to check in person. When he came back, he said that the water had not receded, but it hadn't risen either.

Everyone was overjoyed, one must know that in just a few days, the river has already covered half of the mountain, if it rises for a few more days, if it does not pass the top of the mountain, wouldn't it be impossible to keep the final landing place.

After a peaceful night, the next morning, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, and the water vapor that covered the mountains quickly evaporated. For a while, everything seemed to be foggy, and everyone felt like they were in a steamer.

Mu Ai thought about the epidemic prevention, and asked that Ouyang had indeed brought someone to bury the dead body, so she was relieved.

In the evening, the river water finally had a tendency to recede, and everyone relaxed their brows.

After another three days like this, the river water had receded by half, Mu Ai followed Ouyang down the mountain to the river, walked five or six miles along the river, found the narrowest place, gathered the power of mind, and moved two shorter trees In the middle of the river, thick and long tree trunks were erected to barely build a simple bridge.

The people pulled out their battalion and moved all the way to the riverside. The martial arts practitioners in the valley and Kong Xi and others carried the old and weak women and children on their backs, performed lightness kung fu, and crossed the river by stepping on trees.

Simba and Cheng'er clamored to cross the river by themselves, but were severely stopped by Mu Ai. Even Dayu and Tao'er were pressed on the backs of Dabai and his wife by her, and they carried them safely.

In the end, Mu Ai personally carried Xiao An and Xi Fu, who were not skilled in martial arts, across the river, and the eyes of the moved girls turned red.

The people finally escaped from the predicament, and they refused to rest by the river. They cheered up and rushed to the city, bypassing a hill that was washed out of shape by the flood.

The crowd walked for another two hours, and finally saw the official road from a distance, so there was another round of cheers.

But the closer they got, the crowd fell silent at the same time.

The official road is no longer as busy as it used to be. At this time, there are refugees supporting each other everywhere, with ragged clothes and haggard faces. Put it in your mouth and continue on your way.Occasionally, a child would not stop crying, and the parents seemed to be numb and refused to coax them.Everyone's eyes were full of despair and sorrow, and their hands were holding on to large or small packages, and some even only held a wooden stick as a crutch.

Ouyang and Mu Ai looked at each other, and felt inexplicably cold. The flood had subsided for nearly four days, and there were still refugees stranded on the road. Didn't the three cities in front of them open warehouses for relief? Why did they all gather in Rongcheng?
When they were looking at the refugees on the road, the refugees on the road also spotted them. After carefully distinguishing them for a while, they saw that their clothes were clean and their faces were good. Some of them were carrying things on their backs. So, I don’t know who led them, and they all swarmed over. The one who squeezed in front was a young man. He knelt down as soon as he ran in front of the crowd, and shouted loudly, “Masters and ladies, please do it.” All right, give me some dry food, my mother hasn't eaten for two days."

An old man next to him grabbed a child with one hand and shouted, "Master and Madam, please do me a favor, save my little grandson's life, and give the old man a dry biscuit."

Ouyang was afraid that they would hurt Mu Ai, so he stretched out his hand to protect her and a few children who had already stared blankly behind him. Child, the child took it, fearing that others would snatch it, he began to eat, choked and stretched his neck, his grandfather pulled him to his knees to thank him.

As a result, this steamed bun completely confirmed the thoughts of the refugees. This group was really different from them, and they brought food with them, so they rushed forward, surrounded the crowd, and scared the children in the team to cry loudly. For a while the scene was extremely chaotic.

　This flood tortured me to death. When I took a nap, I dreamed that I was submerged in a flood.Woohoo, so pitiful.

　　The plot research is finished, we must continue to work hard to code words, thank you for supporting the genuine version!
