The reborn beauty Ru Lan

In the mountains and forests, an ordinary carriage was walking slowly on the path. The groom who drove the carriage was hired from the surrounding villages. The two bosses inside were a man and a woman, dressed luxuriously. The man was handsome and elegant. She couldn't hide her aura, but the woman had an ordinary appearance, with a package on her back, guarding the man's side, she should be a servant.

The coachman didn't ask any more questions. He accepted the business last night only because the price offered by the other party was high. Although he was in a hurry and had to drive all night, he insisted on bypassing the flat official road and taking this mountain trail. .

These two people are Xiao Xingyu and Aunt Yu. He successfully left the city with the token given by Fu Yunjing last night. He also knew that if someone really wanted to arrest him, Xuzhou City would definitely not be a safe place, so Aunt Yu asked him to find a means of transportation. , Left Xuzhou City overnight.

Because of repeated dangers, Xiao Xingyu almost doubted his life. He had only been away from the capital for a long time. It is impossible for the people under his father's affairs to be so unreliable. The news leaked out as soon as it was leaked.There was also what happened last night. If the seventh or the eldest wanted to kill him, he could completely understand, but Xiao Xingyu couldn't calm down about that smelly old man of his own uncle.

Fu Yunting asked him about the itinerary, openly and secretly, and he said it out loud for a while, and when he got into the carriage, he immediately changed the route and asked the driver to take a detour, thinking that it was just going to Yangzhou a little further and a little slower. .

Having worked in a carriage for a night, and this ordinary carriage was still not as comfortable as before, and it was a mountain road, Xiao Xingyu was bumped very uncomfortable, his face was pale and miserable, thinking about it, he was still not reconciled, hugging Knee complained to Aunt Yu: "The stinky old man is so disrespectful! He really wants to betray me, and I will make my father, mother and concubine punish him later!"

Aunt Yu thought for a while, and said quietly: "Fourth Master, there are only two of us left now, and it is better to arrive in Yangzhou as soon as possible. The Supreme Emperor has sent someone to prepare everything for you in Yangzhou. When you arrive there, you It's safe now."

He wanted to go faster, because he had been dragging his feet for half a month, and now he had to take a detour, and there was still half of the journey. Xiao Xingyu tucked his head into his knees irritably, and said in a muffled voice: "I know, I know. It's gone... none of you guys are good people, it's so annoying!"

After hearing this, Aunt Yu stopped talking, and still quietly stood by her side.

Arriving in Luohe County after dusk, the coachman walked back when he arrived. Xiao Xingyu took Aunt Yu into the ruined city gate. There was no one on the street. Xi's beggars sat on the ground with broken bowls and ate and drank something, old men and women, all old, weak, sick and disabled, all of them were naked, yellow and thin.

Xiao Xingyu only glanced at it, then frowned and looked away.

Walking past here quickly, Fang felt that this broken county town was not much bigger than a village, and it looked very poor, or very poor.

The ground was dry and began to crack, making people feel thirsty for no reason.

Xiao Xingyu got tired after walking a few steps, so he found the only inn that seemed to be able to accommodate people, and entered the small inn, when a fly swatter hit him, Xiao Xingyu didn't react, holding a fly in front of him Just as he was about to slap his hand, Aunt Yu stopped him.

Then there was the simple and pungent proprietress with an apologetic smile, "Yo, lord, I didn't pay attention to someone, I didn't shoot you on purpose, it hurts... The girl's hands are really strong..."

The loud voice with a unique accent woke Xiao Xingyu back to his senses, he patted his chest secretly, heaved a sigh of relief and asked Aunt Yu to let go.

Looking back at Aunt Yu who said she wanted to stay in the hotel with no expression on her face, the proprietress rubbed her wrists and didn't dare to yell at the fierce female guest, she nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I will definitely prepare the best room for the two of you!"

It's just that the inn is very deserted, and there is still a thin layer of dust on the table. Looking at it, you can tell that the business has been poor recently or all the time.Xiao Xingyu raised his eyebrows slightly, and whispered: "Can people live in this poor place?"

The proprietress got angry when she heard it, "That's not what I said. I know that the two of you are from big places, but my Fortune Inn is the biggest and best inn in Luohe County. It's up to you, but if you can't find another inn better than mine, don't come back."

It sounded quite true, Xiao Xingyu was at a loss for words for a while, but he was really tired and wanted to find a place to sit down, lie down and rest, shook his head helplessly, turned his head to motion for Aunt Yu to take out a piece of silver, Sure enough, as soon as she saw Yinliang, the proprietress stopped talking, and cheerfully greeted the two of them to go upstairs to the guest room.

In his free time, Xiao Xingyu couldn't help asking the proprietress, "Why are there so many beggars on the street? If you look around, there are at least a hundred people, and they are all old people and children?"

The proprietress smiled and sighed: "It's not a good year. It's either a flood or a drought. It hasn't rained in this land for half a year. The land is dry. The villagers' crops in the villages within twenty miles are all dead. There is no way. After living a life, all capable people have left the county, leaving some poor old people and children, who cares about them? They can only come to Luohe County, where the government is here to provide disaster relief, at least there is still water to drink, but I don’t know when The well in the backyard of my inn is almost dry."

"Oh, then I have to go too."

What the proprietress said made Xiao Xingyu silent for a long time.

This inn is indeed much worse than the place where he lived before, but now there are not many people around Xiao Xingyu coaxing him to be happy, and he was very hungry, so he ate two extra bowls of rice with a few ordinary dishes at night , and then lay on Aunt Yu's tidy and tidy bed and thought about life.

Not long after the beginning of spring this year, there was a drought in many places in the territory, and tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land were abandoned, so when they came, there were so many beggars on the street. Because there was no food, everyone would not be able to survive, so the county was deserted. At that time, all capable people left, for fear of being burdened by these victims, and Luohe County gradually lost a lot of passers-by, so there was not a single guest in the inn.

The river course has dried up, and the exposed potholes are cracked into spider webs. It hasn’t rained in this place for more than a year, and the powerful men follow the government to dig canals and dig river channels, counting on the unreachable southern water flow. , It is said that it has been almost three months, and the people here can hardly hold on anymore, but this place is close to the south of the Yangtze River, and it is not the place with the worst drought, so they can barely hold on for a while.

Xiao Xingyu had followed his father since he was a child, and he couldn't say that he was not at all moved by the suffering of these Li people, on the contrary, he felt a little uncomfortable.

In the first year of his father's Zen throne, Lao Qi had a severe drought in the first year of his reign, which was exactly the same as what he witnessed last time. In the north, the state treasury was opened to provide relief to the victims.

Soon after the river channel was dug, Lao Qi prayed for rain himself, and it actually rained three days later!Achieved the first major achievement after Lao Qi's registration, so he won the hearts of the people.

Although it was Qin Tianjian who calculated the rainy season, Lao Qi just used this to win the hearts of the people.But Lao Qi really knows how to govern the country and is extremely intelligent, but Xiao Xingyu has never liked these things, and he can't even take care of himself. It is really like the rumors outside, a whole embroidered pillow.

It happened that someone knew the secret of Lao Qi's murder of the second prince, so Lao Qi must kill him.

what to do?Go to Yangzhou according to your father's words, be mediocre, and spend the rest of your life comfortably?But Xiao Xingyu also understands that he can't hide it from Lao Qi forever, the world is the most powerful place, and Lao Qi will not let him go.

What's more, in his current situation, he still doesn't know if he can go to Yangzhou alive.

Xiao Xingyu, who has been carefree for more than [-] years, completely felt that survival is not easy tonight.

Before leaving Luohe County the next day, Xiao Xingyu resolutely decided to donate some of the banknotes in his hand to the elderly and children who were displaced and had to beg on the street. After all, he had to leave, and there was nothing he could do except donate silver.

However, they were told by the local Lizheng that their food and drinking water had been delivered in the past few months, and they would set up porridge stalls on the street every day, and distribute daily necessities for free according to the amount. Soon, the canal was dug.

This Lizheng was honest and did not accept the thousands of taels of silver donated by Xiao Xingyu.

What kind of person is he? Xiao Xingyu was a little curious and wanted to meet this kind-hearted folk, so he asked Lizheng: "Who is the person who donated so much money and things? I want to get to know him."

If you don't ask, you don't know, but Xiao Xingyu was really shocked.

Li Zhengdao: "It's a town not too close to our Luohe County. The situation there is much better than ours. I heard that there are old people and children from ten miles and eight villages gathered here, so I spent a lot of money to ask someone to send supplies from hundreds of miles away to take care of them." All things are entrusted to Boss Huang of the rice store over there. I have met him several times, and he told me that he is an open-minded young man who donated thousands of taels of silver. Everyone is very grateful to him, but he has never been here, I only know his surname is Xie, it seems to be called..."

Lizheng thought about it, clapped his hands and smiled, "I remember, that benefactor's surname is Xie, and Boss Huang said his name is Xie Ning."

"Xie Ning!"

Xiao Xingyu was taken aback, "Is it a young man in his 20s, wearing a mask, wearing black clothes, and carrying two swords?"

Li Zheng said: "I have never met him before, I only know his name, but Boss Huang seems to have said that the young master is indeed wearing a mask... Young master, do you know him?"

Wearing a mask too?If this is really Xie Ning, then Xiao Xingyu must have known him.

He nodded excitedly, and said: "I know him, he is a kind man, he saved me last time!"

Li Zhengxi said: "Really, can I ask you to do me a favor, the next time you see your benefactor, please tell Mr Xie, everyone in our county is very grateful to him, we will engrave his name on the tablet, Thank you benefactor for your help, let us get through the most difficult time!"

Hearing that Xiao Xingyu's smile paused, he also wanted to see Xie Ning again, how should I put it, he thought Xie Ning was very interesting, envied him, and wanted to make friends with him or something.

At this time, Aunt Yu had already bought the carriage and came to invite Xiao Xingyu. Xiao Xingyu stuffed a few bank notes into Lizheng's hand without saying a word, and left in a hurry, leaving only one sentence.

"Although it's summer now, it's still very cold at night. I think some children's clothes are too tattered. I'm afraid they won't be able to bear it. Please take the money and buy some new clothes for them. Take it as a little bit of my heart."

When the old and simple Lizheng came to his senses, Xiao Xingyu had already sat on the horse that Aunt Yu had found, and the horse flicked its front hooves, and carried his master away.

Xiao Xingyu was ashamed of the people living so hard. He has no virtue and incompetence but enjoys wealth so he has the thought of donating property. He also knows that silver is of no use here.I didn't expect to find out about Xie Ning again here, and I became more and more curious about Xie Ning.

Xie Ning, what kind of person is he?

Xiao Xingyu thought he was greedy for money, but in fact, he took the silver that was extorted from Xiao Xingyu and donated it to the villagers who suffered from the drought. This shows that Xie Ning is not a greedy person, he is also very kind.

But Xiao Xingyu still insisted on his original intention, he really wanted to see what kind of appearance Xie Ning would have under that mask.

Must be pretty, right?After all, he is the beauty who saved her.

Xiao Xingyu thought so.

The author has something to say:

Fix something... umm... don't get too deep into it, the author of any drought is lying!
