Huanxi Farm: Pick up a husband for farming

Chapter 240
The two walked through the streets, followed the old woman to the corner at the end of the alley, Rong Shui was about to take a step forward, but Jun Li suddenly grabbed her, and then found a cover to hide, and then quietly went to the alley Look at the street over there.

Then the two saw a rather shocking scene. They saw a not-too-narrow street, with refugees wrapped in ragged cotton jackets everywhere at the corners. Their faces were all dirty, and only a pair of dark eyes were full of defense. Yes, keep an eye on passers-by.

They sit in groups of three or four, or families, and they don't like to talk, but they stick to each other tightly, presumably because they want to rely on warmth.

Among them are old and weak women leaning on the roadside wall, babies who are waiting to be fed in the arms of their mothers, who have no strength to cry, and there are also skinny and strong men who look at the whole family and sigh. In the rolled straw mat, there were faint bones of the dead.

They all had miserable expressions, and this tragic scene shocked Rong Shui and Jun Li deeply.

Jun Li whispered in Rong Shui's ear, "Shui'er... try not to make a sound."

Rong Shui understood Junli's meaning, this street has been occupied by vicious refugees, if the two of them are found, and the refugees rush to snatch their belongings, they will not be able to resist.

Immediately, the eyes of the two were attracted by the old woman just now.

I saw the old woman staggering to a corner, where there was a thin old man collapsed on the thatched mat, the old man was dying there, and there was a baby wrapped in a cloth beside him.

The old woman stealthily took out half a steamed bun from her bosom, perhaps because she was afraid that other people would snatch it up, and then chewed it in her mouth. Rongshui thought she was going to eat the steamed bun selfishly.

Nazhi then saw a scene that she would never forget. The woman chewed the steamed buns for a long time but could not swallow them. Finally, she opened her mouth and spit out the small pieces of steamed buns mixed with saliva.

Just wondering why she made such a strange move, she didn't expect that she had already dipped the chewed and soft steamed bun into the baby's mouth bit by bit with her fingers.

While feeding, he said: "Baby eat, baby is good, the big white steamed buns are delicious."

After feeding the child, he stuffed the remaining half of the steamed bun to the old man on the straw mat. The old man held the steamed bun in his hand and coughed loudly.

After the woman finished all this, she took off the shoes on her feet with half of her toes exposed, revealing the bloody chilblains on the soles of her feet, but she still looked at the baby and the old man lovingly in her eyes, thinking that the whole family finally had a bite to eat. Yes, I smiled gratifiedly.

Seeing this, Rong Shui finally couldn't hold back the tears that had been stored for a long time... There was no grief on his face, only the wetness that flowed freely.

Jun Li noticed her sadness, hugged her tightly in his arms, held Rong Shui's cold palm tightly, and whispered in her ear, "Don't cry, Shui'er... I know ...are poor people."

Rong Shui has always felt that she is not a good person. She has all the common problems of human beings, such as selfishness, fear of getting into trouble, and indifference. She always thinks that she can rationally analyze the reasons for everything and is not influenced by emotions...

What kind of touching deeds were reported on TV in the past, she just watched with cold eyes, did not feel too much, and lived forever in her own lonely and cold laboratory, she didn't think there was anything, maybe it was a researcher common problem.

But the shock brought by the scene and the turmoil in her heart made her unable to stay out of it... This is not the indifferent and self-contained world after a thousand years, this is a city she lives in, happy and peaceful...

These miserable refugees, even if they are not the citizens of Jiangcheng, and they are not familiar faces, but they are here, they wander here... Maybe they just want to find a place to rest temporarily in the warmer south. They don't want to go to the destination, and they don't want to do something that everyone shouts and beats.

Rongshui made a decision, she wanted to help these refugees...to help them survive this winter solstice.

She doesn't regard herself as a savior, she can't cast spells to save sentient beings, but if she can work hard to pull them out of the boundary of hell, why should she coldly watch these human tragedies unfold in front of her?

Thinking of this, Rong Shui turned around to face Junli, and was about to speak out his decision.

Before she could speak, Jun Li said, "You don't need to say anything, I understand... Shui'er, you mean to help them, right?"

Rong Shui stared at Junli, and nodded without hesitation, he knew it... Do you know his own temperament?
Jun Li did know what kind of person Rong Shui was who had been with him since he was a child... Maybe even she didn't know what moved her, but he could know all of them accurately.

Junli said again: "No matter what you do... I will support you, but now is not the time, let's go out and talk about it first."

It is true that there is a possibility of being discovered here at any time, even Junli dare not take it lightly, it is good for the two of them to leave as soon as possible and then go out to have a good discussion.

Rong Shui also immediately agreed to Junli's proposal, the two turned around and were about to walk out of the alley, but suddenly everyone who rushed to bump into them almost pushed them down.

Jun Li supported Rong Shui with one hand, grabbed the man who was about to rush forward with the other, and forcibly pulled him over.

The man struggled disapprovingly, and said, "Who are you two?! Why did you stop me?! That old woman in front stole some steamed buns from me! Help me catch her!"

Following the direction the man pointed, Rong Shui discovered that this was the owner of the steamed buns that the old lady stole just now.

Jun Li didn't let him go, and said with disdain: "Didn't it just steal a few steamed buns from you, and chase you all the way here, why is this?!"

When the man heard this, he said angrily: "This handsome young man doesn't know the difficulties of us small vendors. If I steal a steamed bun or two by chance, what am I going to do with her?! But in the past few days, Every day, those stinky refugees come to steal a few steamed buns from me. Unfortunately, the world is bleak and business is not good. I take such a big risk every day. Is it because I want to buy more rice porridge for the old mother at home, let alone earn money? It was all snatched away by them secretly! How should my family live? Just wait for the few steamed buns left to satisfy their hunger."

After listening to the peddler's complaints, the two felt uneasy, and Jun Li quietly let go of the man's hand.

Rong Shui said: "This little brother is also a person who is forced to make a living. I'm sorry... We also offended you. I don't know the reason. But you still can't chase, let alone chase you back, that street is full of refugee gathering places , as soon as you go in, they will attack in groups, but the gains outweigh the losses."

When the vendor heard this, he immediately gave up on begging for his steamed buns, and with a sad face, he lamented: "Hey!...That's all, if this is the case, how dare I go in and take such a risk?! Those people are all It's not life-threatening! Even the government can't afford it! Can't afford it!"

After finishing speaking, he was also sensible, and turned around to leave.

Rong Shui also hurried over to stop the person, and said: "Brother, don't worry, you can use the money first!"

He handed over all the money in his wallet to the peddler, but he was shocked... You know, this is his family's income from selling steamed buns for a year!Who is this kind person with such a big hand? !
Rong Shui and Jun Li didn't care about his stunned look anymore, and after they made proper arrangements, they left the alleyway hand in hand.

The steamed bun vendor was stunned for a long time, and suddenly thought that that beautiful woman was the second lady of the Rong family, and also the current head of the family? !
Rong Shui has always been known as the reincarnation of the Goddess, and the rise of the Pudu Rong family, so the Goddess gave him so much money? !
After returning home with Jun Li, Rong Shui was still feeling sad, Li Shi had come over to ask, and said: "Shui'er, did you encounter any troublesome people when you went to Lord Huang's mansion today?! If you see Just hide away, don't be accidentally injured, you know?"

In the past few days, whenever the Rong family returned home, they would almost always encounter nervous inquiries from Mrs. Mrs. Li was worried that Rong Ming, who was running a fried chicken shop outside, was even more afraid that Rongshui, who often had to go to the county government's mansion, would be on the way. What happened, after all, the prefect Huang's mansion is the "hardest hit area" of turmoil.

Rong Shui was helpless, no matter how many times she explained to Li Shi that she was going to Huang Zhi's mansion under the protection of Junli and would not be harmed, she was still worried.

I had no choice but to patiently preach again: "Mother, don't worry, even if there is war outside, Junli will definitely protect my safety, not to mention that there is only turmoil in some places, so let's take the current situation as an example. Speaking of which, Master Huang's place is quite safe."

Mrs. Li's worry about her children is not something that Rong Shui can dispel with a few words, and her daughter's comfort is just deaf ears, not in her heart.

No, I just nodded to show that I understood Rongshui's words, and when I saw Rongming stepping into the door, I went up to meet him anxiously, and said, "Rongming! Why did you come back so early today? Where is the fried chicken shop? Yes Didn't someone make trouble at the market?"

Rong Ming walked in with the cold air outside. This time is logically said to be when the Rong Family Fried Chicken Shop is open, but Rong Ming is back now... It really makes people think of something bad.

Hearing his mother's question, he said: "Mother, you don't have to worry too much. There are many shops in the West Market, but most of them have closed down. The refugees will not go to places with shops, because they know I can’t afford to mess with it, except for a few refugees who wanted to steal things in the store at the beginning, almost no one dares to come in, and they don’t do activities there, so we don’t have to worry about it at all.”

Mrs. Li didn't believe it, and thought her son was lying to her, so she asked again: "Since it's what you said, why did you come back so early? I thought it was some urgent matter in the shop! "

Rong Ming explained: "Mother, coming back so early is not what you think, it's just because there are few pedestrians on the street, and few people come in when the store is open for a day, so I simply closed the door and let the guys go home Rest for a few days."
