"Not really!" Wu Qi shook his head and said, "It's just that since we separated from Master Ming, we imperial doctors have gone crazy, except for three meals a day, we all hide together to study medical skills, and we don't communicate with the outside world at all!" ”

"Oh!" Ming Zhongxin instantly understood, thinking that day, in order to let them play the greatest role in disaster relief, he taught them some epidemic prevention methods, and also taught them some medical skills. That's a good thing!

"And where are they now?"

"No, they're concentrating on those ships, and they're not coming out at all!" Wu Qi pointed to the few boats behind him and said with a wry smile.

"Oh!" Ming Zhongxin suddenly realized that these imperial doctors must be hiding on the ship to study the medical skills they taught, and only medical skills can bind them to one place.

This is very good, when you arrive in Yiliang, you can apply what you have learned and make a contribution to disaster relief, which is also the original intention of teaching them medical skills!

"Why, something beckons them?" Wu Qi asked.

"It's okay, let them study it with peace of mind!" Ming Zhongxin shook his head.

"Everyone should know about the current situation, although we have now temporarily gotten rid of the pursuit of the Maitreya thieves, but presumably they will definitely not be willing to fail, therefore, the road ahead is difficult, even if we get to Yiliang smoothly, I am afraid that what awaits us will be a vicious battle, so we must have a clear division of labor and perform their own responsibilities in order to tide over this difficulty! Of course, our main task is to properly resettle the victims, which is the most important thing! Ming Zhongxin changed the topic and analyzed with a solemn face.

Well! Everyone nodded in approval.

Ming Zhongxin paused slightly, "Although, the local government will definitely be able to help us, but for the unity of the mission, we must form a small command headquarters to deal with emergencies that arise at any time, and I will take the position of temporary commander first, and when Lord Wang returns, I will hand over the power, and the three generals will perform their duties, General Li is responsible for distributing supplies, General Wu is responsible for maintaining order, and Brother Ming Yi is responsible for communicating with the local government and earthquake relief." ”

The three of them answered the order.

"In addition, I have several pamphlets here, which are to be distributed to you separately according to your duties, and of course, if there are special circumstances, you can deal with them as you please!" As he spoke, Ming Zhongxin took out three booklets from his sleeve and handed them to the three of them.

Oh, it turns out that Ming Zhongxin has been prepared for a long time! A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the three of them, but after thinking about it, this is also a matter of course, after all, the disaster relief strategy was put forward by Ming Zhongxin, and it is also the right thing to be prepared.

"As for the epidemic prevention matter, I will discuss it with Imperial Doctor Wu, and when the time comes, please cooperate with him."

"That's nature!" The three of them should be.

"Okay, let's go down and study these pamphlets carefully, and try to make sure that we have a certain opinion in our hearts, and I will ask you for disaster relief when the time comes!" Ming Zhongxin solemnly bowed his hand and asked.

"Disaster relief is our responsibility! Master Ming is polite! ”

"By the way, please take turns to be on guard and pay close attention to the bank of the river to prevent the Maitreya thieves from coming again!" Ming Zhongxin instructed.

From this moment on, everyone entered into a frenzied research and prepared for disaster relief.

At this time, on the bank of the Panjiang River, a group of people looked at the distant ships and regretted it.

"Quickly fly the pigeon and report the situation to the envoy, and see what instructions he has!" A middle-aged man with a face like a crown of jade and extremely gentle commanded.

Be! Someone should go.

"Summoning the brothers of the branch altars of each province, passing the portraits of those guys, please help us to arrest them, if we have a bad business, we will definitely skin and cramp them!" The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said, how could he have a trace of gentleness at this time.

After the order was completed, the middle-aged man gave an order, rode his horse along the coast, and chased after him.

"Master Ming, Luliang County has arrived!" Zhao Mingxing shouted and reported to Ming Zhongxin.

Yes! For a while, everyone looked at Ming Zhongxin together.

"What do you want me to do? Lu Liang has arrived, is Yiliang still far away? Ming Zhongxin smiled, "Everyone get ready, maybe we will encounter the disaster victims soon!" ”

Ming Zhongxin's voice just fell.

"Teach, look!" Zhao Mingxing shouted.

Ming Zhongxin looked up.

Yo, I saw a group of ragged people on the shore helping the old and the young, slowly walking on the riverside bank.

This? Everyone looked at each other, wondering for a while, could it be that this Lu Liang also suffered a disaster?

"Dock, Mingxing, go up and ask, are these victims from Yiliang?" Ming Zhongxin commanded with a frown.

"Master Ming, this can't be the trick of those Maitreya thieves, right? Want to trick us into landing and sneak attack? Wu Qi Chong Ming said.

"No, I'm pretty sure, these people are disaster victims, not Maitreya thieves!" Ming Zhongxin shook his head and said in denial.

Everyone stopped talking and stopped stopping, after all, everyone was so sure of Mingzhongxin, what else did they have to say!

The group of ships slowly approached the shore.

The victims on the shore didn't look at it at all, but just moved forward numbly and weakly.

As soon as the ship docked, Zhao Mingxing rushed down and came to the victims.

"This old man, where did you come from and where are you going?" Zhao Mingxing stopped a gray-haired old man and asked.

However, the old man did not raise his head, but continued to move forward numbly.

Zhao Mingxing was dumbfounded for a while, no one would talk, what can you do?

Helplessly, he had no choice but to change his target and come to a woman with a yellow face and thin muscles, "This sister-in-law, where did you come from?" ”

The woman was still expressionless, only knew how to move forward, and slowly walked past Zhao Mingxing.

Zhao Mingxing looked at everyone, but saw that everyone looked weak, as if they were immersed in their own world, and they didn't react to the surrounding environment at all.

Zhao Mingxing asked more than a dozen people, but everyone didn't mean to talk at all. He shook his head helplessly, and had no choice but to turn around and report it.

Ming Zhongxin was rewarded, frowned, and set his eyes on the victims on the shore.

After a long time, he commanded, "Mingxing, set up a pot and cook porridge!" ”

Yes! Zhao Mingxing was stunned, what is this going to do?

"Hurry up!" Seeing that he didn't react, Ming Zhongxin glared at him and shouted.

Yes! Zhao Mingxing reacted and immediately called a few students to set up the pot together.

Ming Zhongxin jumped down, came to the side of the victims, and shouted with a pleasant face, "Everyone, let's pass by here, prepare to cook some porridge and rice, and please appreciate your face!" ”

In a word, the crowd of victims was instantly detonated, and everyone turned their attention to Ming Zhongxin.

That gaze, like a wolf seeing a sheep, the blue and gloomy gaze looked greedily at Ming Zhongxin, and anyone who saw this gaze would be afraid.

However, Ming Zhongxin still had a smile on his face, looking at everyone with a pleasant face and sincerity.

"Really?" An old man asked in a hoarse voice and weakly.

"That's nature, look, isn't that a pot?" Ming Zhongxin pointed at Zhao Mingxing and other students, and replied with a smile.

The old man followed Ming Zhongxin's finger and looked.

Yes! Really!

In an instant, the crowd of victims exploded and turned their eyes to the old man.

The old man looked at everyone's eager eyes and nodded slowly.

In an instant, a smile appeared on the faces of the victims, and they were ready to rush to Zhao Mingxing and them.

However, one by one they couldn't run at all, just a little faster than what they had done before.

There were two strong men who stopped beside the old man, looking at the big guy who was "running" to the iron pot on the shore, his eyes showed a trace of longing, but he didn't move his feet.

"Go ahead!" The old man smiled slightly and commanded them.

The strong man looked at him, revealing a hint of hesitation.

Ming Zhongxin smiled and hugged his father-in-law, "Go ahead, I'll help my father-in-law!" ”

The two strong men looked at the old man, and when they saw that he agreed, they took steps and walked towards the shore.

The staggering pace showed that they were hungry and were just holding on.

With the support of Ming Zhongxin, the old man slowly walked towards Zhao Mingxing.

"Come, let's sit down for the time being, just porridge and rice for a while!" Ming Zhongxin helped the old man sit down, and shouted at the victims who came to the front.

The victims endured the longing and sat down.

But their longing eyes were fixed on the iron pot that had been set up, and they swallowed their saliva, no, they didn't even have any saliva, they were just licking their chapped lips, slightly relieved of their hunger.

"Mingxing, set up a few more pots!" Ming Zhongxin instructed again, "Also, give everyone some water!" ”

Of course, everyone obeyed the order, and after a while, more than ten pots were set on the shore.

Bags of grain were removed from the boat, and white rice grains were poured into the pot.

The water had already been delivered to the victims by the cadets and sergeants with bowls.

With grateful eyes, the victims snatched the bowl of water and swallowed it with a grunt.

"Uncle, can you tell me where you came from?" Ming Zhongxin served the old man and drank the water and asked softly.

"Well, where else can we come from! Yiliang! The old man held the empty bowl, swallowed his saliva, and said slowly.

"Yiliang? Isn't the imperial court providing disaster relief? Why did you leave your homeland and come to this Luliang? Ming Zhongxin was puzzled.

"Disaster relief?" The old man seemed to have heard something very funny, and looked at Ming Zhongxin with strange eyes.

"What, old man, am I not right?" Ming Zhongxin looked puzzled.

The old man laughed dryly, put down the empty bowl, stretched out his tongue to lick his moist lips, and asked rhetorically, "This official, if the imperial court provides disaster relief, how can we end up in such a situation and leave our hometown to come here?" ”

What the? Isn't there disaster relief? Ming Zhongxin frowned.

"Of course, it can't be said that the imperial court didn't have disaster relief!" The old man shook his head, "At the beginning, the Yiliang earthquake, although the county government was also destroyed, there were still officials who organized manpower to appease everyone, and also said that the imperial court will not ignore our Yiliang people, let everyone overcome it, save themselves first, and then the disaster relief personnel of the imperial court will arrive soon!" ”

The old man paused and continued, "In a few days, Mu Wangfu really sent troops, brought food, soup soup rescue, everyone was happy and relieved. ”

"That's good!" Ming Zhongxin echoed.

"Good?" The old man sneered, "It's not bad, indeed, everyone felt good at that time, and they had hope, just waiting to rebuild their homes." However, a few days later, suddenly, the earthquake recurred, and the large earthquakes continued to occur, and small earthquakes occurred frequently. This scares those officials! ”

"And after that?" Ming Zhongxin had some bad premonitions.

"After that?" The old man's eyes froze, and a look of resentment appeared on his face, "After that, they are very good, and they issued an announcement, so that everyone has the money to contribute and make a strong contribution, and they will help each other in the same boat to tide over the difficulties." ”

"Isn't that good?"

"It's good, but, then, everyone's disaster relief rice porridge suddenly became thinner, and small grains of sand appeared in the rice, which doesn't hurt, as long as you can save your life, it will be rare, and there will be sand grains! However, in the following days, the amount of food was gradually reduced, and the officials explained that due to the lack of food supply, it was impossible to guarantee everyone's daily rations, and that the reduction of two meals was one meal. After all, it is normal for the disaster to be serious and the food supply is not available. ”

Ming Zhongxin knew that the turning point was at this time.

"However, at this moment, suddenly several wealthy households in Yiliang broke out, it turned out that they had donated food money and materials, although the food of the government is not enough now, but it is enough to last for a few days, and they also entrusted the government to use money and materials to buy grain in neighboring counties, but it was swallowed by these black-hearted officials, and for a while, everyone was angry."

Ming Zhongxin's brows furrowed, "Didn't those rich people tell lies?" What official dares to steal money and goods and treat the victims so harshly? ”

"I don't know about others, but I do know that I am one of the people who donate money and food!" The old man sneered.

Yes! At this time, Ming Zhongxin has nothing to say, after all, the witnesses are in front of him, how can he still defend these officials!

Ming Zhongxin looked the old man up and down, not to mention, although this old man is ragged and thin, he has a little extravagance, and his words are really credible!

"Yes, we can testify that Master Yun is really a kind-hearted person! His words are absolutely true! There are people next to him who testify to it.

"That's not right! If you have food and money, can't you just give porridge yourself? Why donate to the government? "Ming Zhongxin still has doubts.

Speaking of this, pain appeared on the old man's face, and he bowed his head and said nothing.

Mingzhong's confidence was shocked, could there be another hidden reason for this?

But the old man bowed his head and said nothing, and he couldn't do anything.

"This official, how can you doubt Master Yun!" There are people next to him who are upset about it.

"Yes! Master Yun is really miserable, when the earthquake occurred, the whole family was killed, only he was the only one left, how could he give porridge by himself, he could only donate to the government! "Someone pierced this layer of window paper.

At this moment, Ming Zhongxin no longer had any doubts, and a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.

He never thought that Master Yun would have something miserable! With an apologetic gaze, he turned to Master Yun.

"Master Yun, I'm sorry, Ming doesn't know the inside story, it's your fault!" Ming Zhongxin clenched his fists and apologized.

Master Yun shook his head, sighed lightly, and said a tragedy in the world.
