59 Bad news
Wenchang County, which is hundreds of miles away from their Lehui County, relies on this group of orphans and widows to travel on foot, I am afraid that they have suffered a lot, no wonder they are so haggard! I heard that there were only a dozen people left in a village after an earthquake, which made everyone take a breath of cool air, and they were afraid, and they also had a little more sympathy for this group of lonely people. Although Li De is also accustomed to seeing life and death, he is not the cold-blooded generation, seeing that they are so bleak, it is not easy to do too much, it just so happened that there were a lot of leftovers left at the village dinner, and he also ordered the surroundings to go to the stove to come over for a shorter time.
When she heard the command, the woman who could not look past it, and who was full of pity, ran to the stove and poured food and water for them. And this group of refugees, who are estimated to have been hungry for a long time, are even more overjoyed, looking forward to food on their stomachs.
Taking advantage of the gap between the women going to get the food, Wu Yongkang couldn't help but ask strangely: "Since you are from Wenchang County, why did you flee to my Tanmen?" In such a natural disaster, when there is a government to help the people, why do you want to go far and go to our poor country? ”
The old man surnamed Chen wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, choked up and replied: "My lord doesn't know, my counties in Qiongzhou have been deeply affected this time, and many villages adjacent to the coast have been directly razed to the ground by the tsunami, and even more like my Chen village, who was directly buried at the bottom of the sea and disappeared. Even the Qiongzhou Mansion is dead and wounded, and several large granaries are even more damaged, where does the government still have food to help so many victims! I waited for a few days in front of Wenchang County, there is only a bowl of gruel with a clear bottom every day, where can people live, the old decay is over sixty, it doesn't matter, but it can't hurt the group of villagers behind me, they are the last bit of blood of my Chen family, so I went down the coast and came to your land! ”
"I thought that my village was already seriously affected, but I didn't expect that compared to Chen Village, it was really a world of difference! Don't cry, although my Tanmen is a poor country, but a few meals of coarse tea and light rice can still be taken out, you will rest in our village for a few days, and then make plans! As the highest ranking and oldest in the village, Wu Xianqiang looked at the miserable situation of this group of people, and did not wait for everyone to discuss, but spoke first to keep these people for a few days.
Wu Xianqiang, as an elder of the Wu family, even Wu Yongkang has to be respectful to him, plus he is usually kind and fair, and his prestige in the village is no worse than Li De's, not to mention his seniority and age are there, and nine out of ten people in the village have grown up with him.
"Thank you, merciful lords!! Thank you, sir!! "It was already the end of the crossbow, and the people of Chen Village, who lived on some wild vegetables and seaweed shells and seaweed every day, were really happy to cry when they heard such a beautiful thing, and all kinds of words of gratitude were gushing, and several women even took their children to kneel on the mud ground, and kowtowed to the surrounding villagers a few times.
When the women came with their meals, the hungry people took the rice bowls and began to devour them regardless of their image, although they were stupid and had no image at this time, but this kind of eating made everyone more pity, as if they were empathetic.
These days, everyone is busy with things in and out of the village, but they didn't think to inquire about what happened outside, and now they are shocked to hear such shocking news. Among them, the villagers with a little foresight are even more cold in their hearts, worried about everyone's future life.
Li De, Gan Xingzhi, Zhang Chong and others looked at each other, sent away the villagers who were still watching around the refugees, and after settling down everyone, they quietly found a secluded place and held a small meeting.
"It seems that it's time for us to make plans early, a few days ago, the food that Tianyang raised a kid and said to the military advisor seems to be a looming problem!" Li De couldn't help but sigh!
"What are you afraid of, big brother! Didn't we still have thousands of stones of grain hidden in the nest? No matter how short of food there is in the village, we won't be hungry for our brother anyway, so it's a big deal to go to sea and rob his mother! Gan Xingzhi didn't think it was much trouble, and he didn't care much about these problems, with their strength, no matter how bad they were, they wouldn't be reduced to the point where there was no food available.
"I'm afraid that the second master is thinking a little worse, the problem is not so simple!" After Zhang Chong heard the news, his brows kept frowning involuntarily, his mind was running at high speed, thinking about the picture and consequences behind the news, and the more he thought about it, the heavier his heart became.
"How complicated can that be, didn't we all calculate an account a few days ago, the food in the village plus the output in the field, with the catch in SH, the villagers save some use, although they will inevitably starve a little later, but they will stick to the matter of 2-3 months, and basically there will be no deaths. As long as you don't die, what's wrong with starvation, do you really want the brothers to buy food out of their own pockets to subsidize everyone! "Gan Xingzhi has never been interested in spending money to buy food relief, and his money is not blowing in the wind.
"I'm afraid you won't be able to spend it if you don't want to! You ask the third child, if it is really the villagers who are hungry, he really dares to care! Our brothers all grew up in the village, to put it bluntly, who is not related to the people in the village, if you want to put your wife and family hungry, you can stand by and watch, I'm afraid you won't even be able to get into bed when the time comes! Li De laughed at him, Gan Xingzhi was fierce and tight to the outside, but when he went home, he behaved like something in front of his daughter-in-law, and the brothers always laughed at him with this.
"She, she dares! On weekdays, she was all let go, or Lao Tzu would fan her down with one hand! Gan Xingzhi only dared to be reckless in his mouth, and he saved face in front of his brothers.
"Who's out there!" Li De noticed that a figure flashed not far away, and his heart was alert, and he pulled out the dagger he carried from under his clothes.
"Poof!" Gan Xingzhi said a few bad words about his daughter-in-law behind his back, he was empty-hearted, he was shocked by this, and thought that his daughter-in-law was coming, so he leaned back directly and fell.
"Second brother, you're really ashamed!" Wu Juren had a look of disdain on his face, and Zhang Chong next to him covered his nose with long sleeves to block his smile, so as not to make Gan Xingzhi angry and ashamed, but unfortunately he was betrayed by his eyebrows that were bent into crescents.
"It's me, it's me! Li De's little nephew is not surprised, it's me! An old voice hurriedly came.
It turned out that Wu Yongkang noticed their movements, quietly followed them, and broke into their party uninvited in the middle of the way. However, he also knew that Li De and his gang were also black-hearted, and this night was dark and windy, and if they were slaughtered by them as thieves who were doing to listen to the news, they would lose money, so when they heard the call, they hurriedly said hello.
