Li Yi rested in Changshe City for one night, and the next day he took Dian Wei, Tai Shici, and several military doctors, and a team of personal guards and iron horsemen with him, and purchased tens of thousands of catties of food, all the way to Xujia Village.

When I came to Xujia Village, hundreds of villagers who heard the news were waiting. Li Yi was not too troublesome, distributed food to them kindly, and asked the military doctor to sit on the spot, and at the same time secretly sent Dian Wei and Tai Shici to the village to inquire about the situation of Mrs. Xu.

The villagers are grateful to Dade, and since then Li Yi's name of benevolence and righteousness has been deepened, needless to say.

By noon, the food was almost gone. At this time, Dian Wei ran back and said to Li Yi: "Lord, as far as I know, Old Madam Xu is still at home and has not come to receive relief. It is really strange that Xu Shu's family is surrounded by four walls, and they don't come to receive food. ”

"People are poor and strong, although Mrs. Xu is a woman, but she has backbone and is not favored by others. No wonder he was able to teach a talented son like Xu Shu. Li Yi said.

Dian Wei scratched his bald head and said, "Lord, let's meet that Xu Shu, and he rarely speaks, how does the lord know that he is talented?" Don't be a wasted person. ”

Li Yi smiled slightly when he heard this, the secret Dao Master came from the next generation, and he didn't dare to say anything else, in terms of knowing people, no one could compare with himself.

He pondered for a while, and then said to the villager who was helping to distribute relief on the side: "Uncle, almost all the people in the village have come to receive food, and there is still a lot left. I wonder if there are still villagers in the village who have limited mobility or are not at home? If there is, Li Yidang will personally deliver it to his home. ”

"The hussar general is really a benevolent and righteous man!" The villager said with great emotion. Then he began to carefully recall the situation of the families in the village.

As a respected old man in the township, the villager knows the situation in Xujia Village very well. After thinking about it for a while, the villager said: "Only Mrs. Xu at the end of the village did not come to receive it." The hussar general didn't know that when this old lady Xu was young, she was a girl in the Xinye Yin family, and she was one of the personal girls of the Yin family. Because the eldest lady of the Yin family is jealous, she does not allow Mrs. Xu to fill the house. Later, he married Xu Laosan in the village. Xu Laosan died early, and Mrs. Xu lived alone with her son, always relying on her own needlework to earn money, and never accepted help from others. ”

Li Yi didn't expect to ask Xu Shu's mother as soon as he asked, and hurriedly said, "I see! The old man led the way, and Li went to visit the old man, okay? ”

"Good, good!" The villager did not doubt him, and hurriedly led the way.

"Now Xu Shu, your kid can't run away, and he won't obediently come to the pocket of the master!" Li Yi was secretly proud and instructed his subordinates to continue to distribute relief food. took Dian Wei and Tai Shici to follow.

When Li Yi came to Xu Shu's house, he saw that it was a low thatched hut. Around the hut, there is a simple fence. However, although the hut is small, it is not dilapidated, and the thatch on the roof is clearly new. In Li Yi's opinion, this job is obviously not something that Mrs. Xu can do, either the help of the people in the village, or Xu Shu took the time to go home to repair it.

"Mrs. Xu. The Hussar General has come to see you! The townsman took Li Yi to the outside of the fence, pushed open the fence door and shouted.

As soon as Li Yi followed the villager into the courtyard, he saw an old woman walking out of the hut slowly, although her face was full of wind and frost. But Li Yi still saw that this old woman was very different from ordinary mountain people.

When the old woman came out, she asked, "Hussar general?" But General Li of the Li family in Xiangcheng? ”

Li Yi was stunned, but he didn't expect the old woman to know herself.

The villager smiled and said, "Exactly." ”

Mother Xu was taken aback, and saluted: "The hussar general is coming, and the old man is polite." ”

Li Yi hurriedly stepped forward. Holding Mrs. Xu, she said, "The old lady doesn't have to be polite, it's Li Yi who is bothering her." Shun it. Ziyi, you two put things down. ”

"Yes!" Dian Wei and Tai Shici walked to the eaves of the thatched hut and put down the firewood, rice, oil, salt and other things they had brought over.

Dian Wei looked at the small courtyard, shook his head and said, "It's actually poorer than the poorest people in my Dianjiazhuang." Xu Shu, this kid, his family is so poor, what are you running outside! ”

When Xu Mu saw these many items, her face was displeased, and she asked, "Hussar General, why is this?" ”

Li Yi hurriedly said the rhetoric he had thought of before, and finally said: "Today, I led a large army south to King Qin, passing through Yingchuan, and saw that the local people were deeply affected by the troubled times, so I took some food. Li Yi is incompetent and can't save the people in the world from fire and water. ”

Later, tears flowed down his eyes, but he was really moved by compassion.

Dian Wei and Tai Shi Ci saw the lord crying for the suffering of the people, their hearts were stirred, they knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Dian Wei (Tai Shi Ci) must follow the lord, exterminate the rebellion, and return the peace of my Han people. ”

Although Mother Xu is just a village woman, she is not alone, she knows Li Yi's prestige, and she has also heard of Li Yi's many exploits for the imperial court over the years. This is mainly related to the atmosphere of Yingchuan, and of course it is also related to the fact that Li Yi is originally a native of Yingchuan. At this moment, when she saw Li Yi crying bitterly, she felt that Li Yi was not only a hero who opened up the territory, but also a benevolent and righteous general, and he really lived up to his reputation.

The township was afraid that she would reject Li Yi's good intentions, so he hurriedly said: "Mrs. Xu, tens of thousands of villagers in ten miles and eight townships in Changshe City have been relieved by the hussar general in the past few days, and we can live a good life for a while." For many years, I have never seen such a benevolent and good official as a hussar general. ”

Mother Xu bowed deeply to Li Yi and said: "The hussar general is benevolent and righteous, and I hope that the hussar general can level the world as soon as possible, assist the Son of Heaven in the temple, and relieve the suffering of the people." ”

The words spoken by the culture are different, Li Yi scattered tens of thousands of stones of grain, and saw tens of thousands of people, only this old lady Xu said that she listened to the way of being an official. Li Yi hurriedly returned the salute and said: "What Mrs. Xu said is very true, Li Yi should remember it." ”

Seeing that Mother Xu did not refuse his relief again, he took advantage of the situation and said: "I also brought a doctor to diagnose and treat the diseases of the villagers." I heard that the old lady also has a chronic illness, can you let her be treated? ”

The villager also said on the side: "The doctors and craftsmen brought by the hussar general are all miracle doctors who have rejuvenated their hands, and they have not only treated the villagers of our Xujia Village in the past half a day, but also the surrounding villagers have also treated countless people. The hussar general gave me free medicinal herbs, which was really a savior for us, and many sick people were able to save their lives. ”

Mother Xu saw that Li Yi really understood the suffering of the people and was really benevolent and righteous, so she did not refuse.

So Li Yi asked Tai Shici to go back, and brought a military doctor with the best medical skills to come over to check the pulse of Mrs. Xu, and knew that it was a disease caused by hard work, and a few medicines were prescribed to take it, and after a period of recuperation, he would be able to regain his former vitality.

Li Yi did not leave Xujia Village immediately, on the one hand, he treated Xu's mother, and on the other hand, he had a relationship with him, showing his benevolent and righteous side as much as possible. On the other hand, if you leave immediately, it is really a bit contrived, so you have to stay for a few days.

He stayed in Xujia Village for three days, eating and living with the villagers, and working in the fields together. Mother Xu was surprised to see that Li Yi could actually do farm work. Other ordinary people were also frightened, not to mention a great official like the hussar general, who said that the children of those big families in the township could not do farm work. They feel more and more that Li Yi is really a good official who shares the weal and woe with the people, you see that people can even do farm work!

When he said goodbye to Xujia Village, thousands of people from the surrounding villages spontaneously gathered to see him off, including Mrs. Xu. She thought that if her son succeeds in his studies, he will be an assistant to a master like Li Yi, so that his life will be in vain.

………………

As soon as Li Yi left on the front foot, Xu Shu returned home on the back foot, he was worried about his mother's body, and he would come back every once in a while. Otherwise, the small thatched hut of the Xu family would not have been repaired often.

When he walked to the house and saw his own small and simple yard, he was touched by the scene and said secretly: "I will go to find an errand in the future, and I can't let my mother do the work for me anymore." ”

When he returned home to meet his mother, Xu's mother told Li Yi about him.

Xu Shu's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "Mother, can the hussar general talk about me?" ”

Xu Mu shook her head and said, "No." ”

Xu Shu was thoughtful.

Mother Xu asked suspiciously, "Why does my son ask this?" With the dignity of a hussar general, how will he know you? ”

Xu Shu said about Li Yi's arrival at Yingyin Xun's house, and finally said: "The hussar general came to Yingchuan with the intention of recruiting strategists. ”

Xu's mother's last wish in this life is that her son has a good way out, and she is very happy to hear it. The other party is a hussar general who is a hussar general, and his status is extremely noble, and if his son works under him, the future will be really bright. So he asked a little anxiously, "Have you ever recruited Wu'er?" ”

Xu Shu said with a smile: "The hussar general went to the Xun family to recruit me. It's just that I didn't say yes to his invitation. ”

Mother Xu said: "The hussar general has lived in the village for the past few days, eating the same food and living in the same house as the villagers, and working in the fields together. ”

Xu Shu was taken aback when he heard this, he was well-informed, and he had never heard that a person with such a noble status as Li Yi would share weal and woe with the people so much.

Mother Xu said: "The hussar general also brought a famous doctor to treat everyone, and treated many villagers who were seriously ill. I have been unwell for many years, and I have taken a few pills, and now I am mostly better. I heard that these healers are only some of the many healers under the command of the hussar general, and these healers are all trained by the hussar general himself. The versatility of the hussar generals is evident from this. ”

Xu Shu heard her mother say that she was cured, and she was very grateful to Li Yi in her heart. But he still suspected that Li Yi was putting on a show, thought for a while, and said: "The hussar general shares the joys and hardships with the people, I don't know why he is like this?"
