First Empress Merchant

Chapter 238: A True Friendship in Adversity (1)
Ah Zhong blinked at her, "Look at what you said, the master asked us to stay to protect your safety, so compared to the order of the Empress Dowager, even if she stops us, we will come. Besides Well, let's not mention Situ for now, what is our relationship? You are my future sister-in-law, so I have to come here for anything, right?"

Lu Lishi was amused by his words, and when she thought of something, she frowned again and said: "By the way, what happened to other places? Do you know where the disaster is the worst?"

Hearing this question, Ah Zhong's expression became serious, "I don't know about other places, I can only wait for dawn to receive news from the master's people, but the situation is not too optimistic along the way, older houses have appeared The phenomenon of landslides also... heard a lot of crying and mourning."

Lu Lishi frowned when she heard the words, "What should I do? Do the people in those places have shelters and clothes to keep out the cold?"

"Don't worry about this. After all, the Northwest is the fiefdom of the master. The Empress Dowager will not ignore it if something happens. People from the palace have already sent out to rescue the victims. The tents and clothes are built and distributed by the people from the palace. Here... ...Ah, how long do you think it will rain?" Ah Zhong was talking, and when he saw that he was bald, he quickly shut down and interrupted.

Lu Lishi listened, and gradually let go of her heart. After hearing something, she couldn't help squinting her eyes and said, "Dare you say what you said before to make me happy? That's why I won't tell you that your letter just now Was terrified."

This kid, it seems that even the mother who disobeyed the master will come to protect her. After a long time, the imperial concubine has the meaning of saving the disaster victims, and she is just one of the disaster victims. Hmph, what? It's not because he is really nice to Xin'er, she really has to consider whether to drive this glib guy away.

Ah Zhong was brainwashed, and immediately doggedly said: "Look, a lady is a lady, she is grand, she is high-end! Come on, come on, hold your umbrella and wait for a while, and hide in the tent when they set up the tent Take shelter from the rain, I... go and see her."

Lu Lishi shook her head lightly, "Go."

To be honest, if this kid hadn't come, her nerves would have been tense until dawn, and the joke with him was also to make herself more relaxed.

Unconsciously, more than a dozen tents were set up one after another, one tent for two families with more people, and one tent for three families with fewer people. At the entrance of the tent, praying for the disaster to pass quickly, no one made a sound for a while.

Lu Lishi let Lu Yizhuo sleep on her lap, while she stared at the night in a daze, accompanied by the occasional aftershocks in a daze.

This is the first time she has felt the horror of an earthquake so close. The powerful impact brought by nature and the feeling of being so small that she can't do anything is really beyond words. I can only hope that the dawn will come soon.

The sound of wind, rain, thunder, barking of animals, mixed with the sound of crying and mourning, she suddenly didn't want the dawn to come soon, because when the day dawned, many people would have to go through a long period of time. The post-disaster life in time is more terrifying than that at the time of the disaster. It is definitely a purgatory on earth.I closed my eyes, shook my head, and didn't dare to think anymore.

As he shook his head, the pair of opal earrings on his ears gently hit his cheeks, he raised his hand to caress, then slowly opened his eyes, took off one earring and swayed it at the swaying lamp hanging in the tent. The non-stop lights looked around.

Is he... okay?I don't know if there is such a strong shock in the place where he is, and if he has thought of her, there must be some, no matter what the reason is, heh, why should she worry about so many capable and wise people around him?

Forget it, no matter what, anyway, he is in such a far place, and he is going to an even more distant place, it doesn't matter, she will face what she has to face alone, whether it is the previous life or this life, she can be brave alone Go on, don't you?So she can live well without him, and she will definitely!
He put the earring back on his ear, but stopped when his hand left the earlobe, and then smiled wryly in his heart.

If she can really be as generous as she thinks, why is she still wearing the earrings he gave her?
The long and terrifying night finally passed, and everyone came out of the tents one after another, looking at the collapsed houses and the devastation in the distance, the earthquake stopped, but the heavy rain did not stop, it seems that these days will never stop The rain fell all at once, and it seemed that God was crying for the broken families and the people who passed away, so no matter whether their own homes were intact or not, no one was in a sad mood.

"I...what are you guys doing? Get up! Get up!"

Lu Lishi walked in the front, her mood was naturally the same as everyone else's, she didn't dare to look back at their expressions, finally mustered up the courage to turn around, and wanted to say a few joking words, but just as she opened her mouth, she saw the whole family knelt down to her, She immediately stepped forward to help her up, but then the second family knelt down again, then the third family, and the fourth family, and so on, all of them knelt down at once, regardless of gender, age or age, Lu Lishi had no choice but to use The eyes signaled Xin'er and they helped each other together.

"Miss, if it weren't for your reminder, we don't know if we could have escaped this disaster. You are our savior. Come on, child, give the miss three kowtows. You will never forget this kindness until you die." ,Did you hear me?"

"That's right, since you moved here, you have taken care of our incompetent poor neighbors, recruited all the children to the villa as apprentices, and even brought the big guys to make a fortune together, and now you have survived the disaster, We don't know how to repay you, we can only kowtow to thank you."

Lu Lishi looked at those faces who were obviously exhausted and embarrassed, but extremely sincere and simple, and really didn't know what to say. Fortunately, it was still raining, and it was not known whether it was rain or tears that dripped down her face. .

After everyone stood up one after another after kowtowing, she bowed deeply to them before she spoke again: "My family and I came from afar, but we have been taken care of by everyone as soon as we came, so we have to To say thank you, it should be because I want to thank everyone. Besides this earthquake, if you didn’t believe in me without reservation, I don’t think I can do anything. The so-called a friend in adversity, I believe that after this time, everyone My hearts will be more tightly condensed together. Well, I have stayed up all night, and I think there should be no more strong vibrations. Everyone should go back and pack up. If there is no problem, just change into clean clothes. Drink some anti-cold soup and go to bed; if the house collapses too badly, just tidy up and come to my house, and then follow me to the yamen to report. I believe that the disaster relief funds should be released soon. Of course, we must remain vigilant. Come out as soon as you notice something is wrong."
