How could the imperial court bring a child with them when providing disaster relief?

The child looked only two or three years old.

Moreover, there is no official feeling in the gestures and words of these people.

More like an ordinary person.

Lu Dashan was also very familiar with everyone. He said, "The one in front is Sister Lin. She and Brother Liang are a couple. The one holding the child is a cousin. The little girl is that man's daughter. The other boy is my brother Lu Xiaoshan. My name is Lu Dashan!"

"We are all from Nanyang Prefecture. Brother Liang and his friends are from Yujia Village, Songyang County, Nanyang Prefecture. Xiaoshan and I are employees of Brother Liang's shop."

"These grains were all grown by the villagers themselves. Some were donated by the villagers themselves, and some were sold by Liang Ge."

"I heard about the disaster in Yuzhou Prefecture and came here directly. It's not a easy journey. It took us two or three days to get here."

"Oh, by the way, the other two women and a few children were rescued in the first village we entered Yuzhou Prefecture. It was unsafe to leave them there, so we took them along. Who knew that there would be no one alive along the way!"

……

Lu Dashan explained the matter clearly in just a few words.

Ren Shuze was even more shocked.

He thought that the other party might be someone from the imperial court, and also thought that the other party might be a merchant, but he never expected that they were actually ordinary people.

Even those dozens of carts of grain were donated by the villagers themselves.

Ren Shuze felt very uncomfortable.

Even a poor peasant has such awareness, but what about the officials supported by the court?

He is the official in charge of the city, but he did not open the city gates, did not inform the people, and even deserted the battlefield!

He is totally unworthy of his position!

While Ren Shuze was confused, several people had already found the kitchen.

"Tsk tsk, even though the chief official of Yunan County is a piece of shit, this county government is really well built."

Zhou Lin complained.

"It's very spacious and has many houses. I'm afraid there are at least 50 or 60 houses along the way, if not hundreds."

"This kitchen is big, with seven or eight stoves. It's enough for us! Come to Dashan and give us a hand. Let's unload two and move them to the front!"

There were iron pots of various sizes in the kitchen. Zhou Lin picked up the two largest ones and unloaded them, then looked at Lu Dashan and Ren Shuze.

"Move to the front yard, is that okay?"

When asked about the two of them, Ren Shuze knew that he was being asked.

He nodded: "Sure, Sister Lin."

Along with Lu Dashan, they all called out "Sister Lin".

An iron pot weighs only twenty or thirty kilograms.

He was just hungry, not disabled. He still had the strength of a normal adult male.

Together with Lu Dashan, each of them moved a large iron pot to the front yard.

Zhou Lin packed up some kitchen utensils in the back, put them in a large bamboo basket, and moved them to the front yard.

With the help of Lu Xiaoshan and the two women, an area in the front yard had been cleared.

I simply built two wood-burning stoves, they were stable and there were no problems at all.

"Dashan, there's dry firewood in the kitchen. Go get some to start the fire!"

"Okay, Sister Lin!"

"Xiaoshan, please clear the rooms next to it so that everyone can eat inside. It will be warmer there."

"I understand, Sister Lin!"

Aunt Miao took the initiative to step forward and take the big frame from Zhou Lin's hand.

"Sister Lin, is there anything we can do to help?"

Zhou Lin was worried about not having enough manpower, so she said, "Go to that carriage and unload a bag of grain from the carriage behind you."

"One bag is for sweet potatoes, and the other is for brown rice. Wash the sweet potatoes, chop them into small pieces, and cook them together with the brown rice. Do you understand?"

Aunt Miao nodded: "I understand."

These are all simple chores that I used to do often at home.

Although I don’t know what sweet potatoes are, if they can be cooked with brown rice, they must be edible.

Now, as long as we have food to eat and can stay alive, that is more important than anything else.

"Little sister, come and help." Aunt Miao called out to the woman who was rescued with her.

Aunt Miao's original name was Miao Juan, and the other girl's name was Miao Yan.

Both of them got married just a few years ago, and the two sisters married two brothers from the same family.

I thought the days would just pass by one by one, but who would have thought that we would encounter such a natural disaster.

Except for the two sisters and some children in the village, no one else in Miao Village was spared.

Listening to Zhou Lin's arrangements, Ren Shuze took the initiative to step forward to help.

A bag of sweet potatoes weighs at least 100 kilograms. Miao Juan can lift it, but it is a bit difficult.

Fortunately, Ren Shuze lent a hand and she felt a little relieved.

"Thank you!"

Ren Shuze nodded: "You're welcome."

The two of them worked together to move a bag of sweet potatoes to the stove.

At this time, Zhou Lin and Lu Dashan brought a lot of firewood over, the fire in the stove was lit, and the pot needed water.

"Aunt San, use the snow in this yard. When it melts, it will become water." Youyou said standing at the door, with the children following behind him.

Everyone looked at her with admiration and curiosity.

No one knows what happened during the time they were together.

Zhou Lin also knew that melted snow would become water, but she was worried that so many people had died in Yunan County that the snow might not be usable.

"Is the snow okay?" Zhou Lin asked worriedly.

Youyou nodded: "It's okay in this yard, but not outside the yard. You must be careful."

There were corpses everywhere outside the yard, but fortunately there were no corpses in this yard except for the mess, so it could be used.

Youyou also cast a cleansing spell to ensure that any abnormalities outside could not come in.

Zhou Lin was relieved and asked everyone to remember Youyou's words.

Everyone started to add water to cook porridge, and soon the water boiled and the rice and sweet potatoes were added.

The steaming mist and the temperature from the two stoves made the surroundings warm up.

Except for Youyou and a few children, everyone else stayed in the yard and didn't feel it was cold.

There were messy footsteps outside the yard, and everyone turned their attention.

They were the disaster victims who came after hearing the noise. They all looked pale and thin, and they looked at the two pots in the middle of the yard with excitement.

Yu Lin and the others felt a tightness in their hearts, and the feeling of being stopped for carriage outside came back to them.

"Everyone! Those who have bowls, please line up with them. Those who don't have bowls, please come over here and get your bowls, then line up!"

"Time is tight, so we can only build two stoves temporarily, but I, Ren Shuze, promise everyone that everyone will have enough to eat!"

Ren Shuze's timely response effectively stopped the crowd from looting.

Before, there were only seven or eight people who wanted to stop the carriage, but now there are dozens of people.

Once the situation becomes chaotic, there is no way to stop it.

"It's Mr. Ren!"

"What he said must be true!"

"I'll leave it to the scholar!"

"Everyone line up! Let the scholar take charge!"

The victims chatted with each other and automatically lined up.

Although his eyes never left the two mouthfuls of steaming sweet potato porridge, he no longer had the thought of snatching it away.

Zhou Lin was surprised: "You are also a scholar, amazing!"

People who read books are always looked up to.
