I've been reborn, who still wants to be a cowardly little white flower?

"Girl, girl~" Qu Ying had just gotten up, put on her clothes, and was ready to go out. It was a rare sunny day, and there were a lot of things happening on the street.

Luzhu hurried into the yard, followed by Chunzhi who also looked worried.

Seeing the two girls' red eyes, Qu Ying asked hurriedly with concern, "What's wrong? Are you crying? Are you bullied or feeling uncomfortable?"

"Girl, the imperial court's disaster relief grain has been robbed."

Lu Zhu's words were like a bolt from the blue. Qu Ying's head suddenly felt dizzy and his vision went dark. He staggered and was supported by the two of them.

"Where were they robbed? Are there any survivors? Who reported the incident? Does my brother know?"

After asking a series of questions, Chunzhi's voice was filled with tears, "It was the soldiers who were escorting the relief grain. They were injured, and only a few escaped.

Because they were almost there, they came running with their injured bodies to report that the food had been robbed and all the officers and soldiers escorting the food had been killed.

They are from the government office. When they entered the city, the city gate guards sent them to the government office. The head constable from the government office came to the mansion to report the news, and now he has gone to look for you, sir."

Lu Zhu was also worried and stamped her feet, "Miss, the eldest master has been on the dam for days, and we don't know what's going on. Our food is almost gone. I thought the relief grain from the court would arrive soon.

But what should I do now? "

After a while, Qu Ying had calmed down a little and shouted to the yard, "Little Four, Little Five."

Xiao Si and Xiao Wu ran in from outside the yard. Qu Ying turned around and took out the wooden box from under the pillow and put the box directly into the hands of Xiao Si and Xiao Wu.

"There are still 600 taels of silver in here. Take the two of you who are good at fighting and go buy food immediately.

Bring some oil paper cloth. It's raining a lot now, don't let the food get soaked. Hurry up and send someone back as soon as you buy a batch. The sooner the better."

Xiao Si and Xiao Wu also knew that the food had been robbed, and they had an idea of ​​how much food was left. They were afraid that what was left would only be enough to last for four or five days.

Holding the money box, the two men agreed and hurried to do their errands.

"Don't panic, don't panic, we still have a lot of sweet potatoes and potatoes, which can be steamed or boiled to last for a while.

The resettlement camp received food earlier, and the next time to receive food will be seven days later. In seven days, we should be able to buy a batch of food.

Go find Brother Qi An. I still have some silver. Ask the prefect to buy grain from the wealthy families in the city. It doesn't matter if the price is high. Just take as much as you can. Let Brother Qi An keep an eye on it."

After quickly giving the instructions, Luzhu wiped the tears from her face, took the silver note that Qu Ying gave her, and went to find Zhou Qian'an.

"Chunzhi, go to the dam and tell brother not to worry. We will find a way to deal with the town so that he can focus on his work."

Chunzhi also agreed and ran out to do her job.

There were a few little girls in the yard, who were temporarily arranged to help. They were all daughters of poorer families nearby. Although the family did not rely on the porridge shop on weekdays, with a few fewer mouths to feed, the younger brothers and sisters at home could have one more bite to eat.

Upon hearing the news, several little girls huddled together and cried in worry.

Qu Ying sent Chunzhi and Luzhu out, and then several maids came forward and asked, "Miss, what should we do?" they whispered.

Qu Ying rubbed his face, forced himself to calm down, and forced a smile at the few people, "Don't worry, there will be a way. I'm going to go out and buy some. If the court's disaster relief grain is not available, I can buy it myself.

Let's go, go to the porridge stall and make some porridge. It's a rare sunny day, so let's organize the people and clean up the mud on the street."

The rain has been lighter in the past few days, and it stops raining for most of the day. The water in the streets that was ankle-deep has receded a lot, but the streets are now full of mud.

It's a sunny day today, so there shouldn't be much water on the streets. Take this opportunity to clean up the streets quickly.

The little girls comforted each other and trotted away with Qu Ying.

Before the rice pot was empty, Xiao Si rushed back with four carts of food. Fortunately, the food was not leaking, and Qu Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

When the news of the imperial government's disaster relief grain being robbed spread back to the capital, the emperor was furious. Although it was said that the relief grain was robbed by bandits, the emperor did not believe it. He secretly sent people to investigate and allocated a new batch of grain.

Seeing that the problem here was resolved, Qu Ying's mood improved a lot. She had been worried so much in the past few days that she couldn't eat or sleep well.

When she was distributing porridge today, she had a smile on her face again, and many people chatted with her with a smile.

It was cloudy in the morning, and thunder started to rumble in the sky at noon.

"It looks like it's going to rain again." Lu Zhu muttered.

Chunzhi also sighed, "Yeah, the clothes can't be dried after washing, and they smell moldy."

A citizen who was drinking porridge nearby interrupted and said, "The girl is right. It's like this here every year at this time of year. It rains non-stop and our bodies are always wet.

If clothes are not hung out to dry, they will smell musty over time. Just hold on, and in two months the rainy season will be over."

Many people nodded in agreement and told jokes to a few girls who were not used to the weather. They knew that these were girls from the capital and were not used to the weather here, which was humid and in a bad mood.

So tell some happy things and make the girls laugh.

The impending heavy rain makes people worry, but in front of the porridge stall, the burst of laughter and joy dispels the depression in everyone's heart.

After noon, there was almost no one in front of the porridge stall. During this time, everyone had reached a tacit understanding that there were two hours in the afternoon when they could take a break.

It started to rain heavily and the group was trapped in the teahouse where porridge was served.

Luzhu brought the brewed hot tea to Qu Ying, "Miss, take a break and have some tea."

Chunzhi massaged Qu Ying's shoulders and looked outside. "The sky in the south seems to be leaking. Why can't the rain stop falling?"

Just when I was planning to take a break, there was suddenly a commotion on the street, not just commotion, but screaming.

Lu Zhu was puzzled and walked to the door of the teahouse. As soon as she showed her head, she was frightened by the people running by and took two steps back and sat down on the ground. The people outside were running for their lives in panic, which scared the people in the teahouse.

When Luzhu was helped up, two uncles ran into the teahouse and said, "Quick, quick, close the door, there is a riot outside, a riot, someone is killing people in the street."

When these words were spoken, everyone sitting in the teahouse was stunned and began to panic to close the doors and seal the windows.

Just as the door was closed, there was a sudden crashing sound. A civilian broke through the window and was kicked into the teahouse from outside. He fell on the table, smashing it, and then there was no sound.
