I wish for a long time

If the county magistrate does not do it, he will not do it, but he does it very quickly.Not long after Ye Jiu left the county government office, the government servants came out carrying notices.

People slowly gathered around, pointing at the notice and talking about it.

Ye Jiu looked at it for a while, then turned his head and walked towards the inn.

It was almost dinner time, but there was no one in the inn.

Ye Jiu's fear of being dominated by Mei Zhen suddenly came to mind, and she was so frightened that she ran straight to the second floor.

Just halfway up the stairs, a person suddenly ran in at the door and ran straight to the back hall.

Ye Jiu happened to see it when he turned around, and hurriedly called him, "What are you doing?"

Hearing the sound, Gan Yi looked up and found Ye Jiu on the stairs, "Young Master is back? Just right, I'll go get some bowls, Young Master, come with me."

Ye Jiu's head was full of question marks: "Take the bowl? Where are you going?"

Then she pointed to the upstairs room, "Are Shao'er and the old man alright?"

Qian waved his hands again and again, "It's okay, it's just that they are not in the room now, they are all in the small open space to the north."

Ye Jiu asked as he went downstairs, "What are you doing there?"

After waiting for Ye Jiu to come down, they walked to the back hall together, "The old man went to several grain shops in the morning, and got a few bags of coarse rice, so he asked us to set up a porridge shed on the open space in the north. What about porridge?"

"Porridge? Shao'er went too?"

Ye Jiu was surprised for a moment, and frowned sideways.

Gan Yi nodded again and again, "Yes, Madam still holds the spoon."

Ye Jiu pursed his lips when he heard the words, and carried a stack of porcelain bowls with Gan Yiyi, and walked out of the inn to the north.

At a distance of about 200 meters, many people rushed there along the way, and almost knocked the bowl out of her hand.

Ye Jiu and the others walked quickly along the flow of people, and saw a simple porridge shed not far ahead, and a large group of people gathered there.

"Come with me, son."

Gan Yi picked a side path and led her around to the back.

Ye Jiu paid attention to the movement over there while walking, and saw a dark patch, dotted with a touch of bright color.

She recognized Qi Shaoan immediately.

The light yellow white-collar dress is neat and clean, and the pale pink cloak on her body is so conspicuous.

"My lord, look at your feet!"

As soon as Gan Yi finished speaking, Ye Jiu bumped into a piece of jerky waste wood.

She staggered and almost sold all the hard-earned bowls.

When Qi Shaoan heard the movement, he turned his head quickly, and sure enough, he saw a familiar figure not far behind him.

"Ajiu!"

She was overjoyed and called out with a smile, but after taking a closer look, she quickly asked, "Are you okay?"

Ye Jiu jumped a few times on the spot with a certain distance, and seeing Qi Shaoan waving at him, she grinned and replied, "No...it's okay!"

Qi Shao'an frowned slightly, but he had no time to take care of her at the moment, so he hurriedly scooped porridge for the victims in front of him.

"Mrs. Ye, fill it here!"

Qi Shaoan glanced at the man holding two bowls by his side, and frowned, "The used bowls need to be scalded with hot water before reuse, you can't do that."

The man looked down and nodded hastily, "Okay, I'll go clean it now!"

Qi Shaoan came back to his senses and scooped up another spoonful.

Ye Jiuhe came around and put the bowl on the table, then she turned to look at Qi Shao'an.

With a neat bun and a bright outer cloak, just a back view fascinates him with his invincible glowing big eyes.

However, when she caught sight of a man in a dark green robe approaching Qi Shao'an sideways, her wife-looking moron face instantly froze.

The man didn't know what he said, but Qi Shaoan nodded with a smile.

Ye Jiu frowned, and grabbed Lu Lin who was about to greet her: "Xiao Linzi, what is the origin of that man?"

Lu Lin looked in the direction where her chin was pointing, and tilted his head, "Oh, that's Mr. Du, the son of the county magistrate of Linjiang County."

Ye Jiu's chubby appearance floated in his mind, and he looked at the dark green man's thin body like a pole, "The magistrate's son? What is he doing here?"

Hearing this, Lu Lin smiled and said: "We had just set up the stall at noon, and the disaster victims flocked in. The scene was a bit chaotic. It was Mr. Du who helped us, and later he took the initiative to stay here to help."

Ye Jiu squinted his eyes and took a look, the little Du was obviously much more reliable than the old Du in the yamen, at least he was very quick, he cleaned the dishes and passed the porridge, and his cooperation with Qi Shao'an was perfect.

"Where are our people? Where's Wei Yu?"

Ye Jiu asked expressionlessly.

Lu Lin picked up a stack of bowls, "Except for Kun Er, the other brothers are either carrying food, or cooking porridge with Wei Yu over there."

He pointed to the two cauldrons not far away, "Here, it's right there."

Ye Jiu glanced at it, then turned to stare at Mr. Du.

"Madam Ye, how many more bowls are there?"

Qi Shaoan weighed it up, "Five bowls at most."

The dark-green man took the spoon from her hand and picked up the wooden basin, "I'll put some more."

Ye Jiu saw him running away, so he took two steps forward and stood behind Qi Shaoan, "How are you, are you tired?"

Qi Shao'an paused when he heard the voice, then leaned back and fell firmly into a soft embrace.

"A bit."

Ye Jiu helped her squeeze her shoulders, and smiled lightly: "Take a rest when you're tired..."

"Madam Ye, here comes the porridge..."

The two voices sounded at the same time and stopped at the same time.

Ye Jiu looked back at the dark green man, and he was also looking at Ye Jiu.

"You are……"

Ye Jiu smiled, "Shao'er's husband."

The man was obviously stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Oh, so it's Brother Ye, I'm next to Du Zhihang."

Ye Jiu still had a faint smile on his face, "Ye Jiu, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Hearing the voice, Qi Shao'an immediately straightened up, looked at Du Zhihang, and said, "Young Master Du, quickly bring it here."

"Huh? Oh oh."

Du Zhihang came to his senses, glanced at Ye Jiu, quickly put the wooden basin on the table, and handed the big spoon to Qi Shaoan.

After Qi Shaoan took over, he started a new round of work.

Ye Jiu watched the interaction between the two of them the whole time. If they said they cooperated well just now, it can be called a tacit understanding and nature now.

She pursed her lips, turned her head and brought up a stack of empty bowls.

As soon as it was put away, a pair of hands stretched out and took most of it away, "Brother Ye, thank you."

Ye Jiu blinked, and put his hand on the edge of the bowl, he was stunned for a moment.

Before she could react, a loud shout suddenly sounded from the side, from far to near, "Everyone, hurry up and see! On the pier at the north gate, the ling lady is going to perform a ritual to sacrifice to the river god!"

Ye Jiu and Qi Shao'an said in unison after hearing the words: "Sacrificing to the River God?"

Du Zhihang glanced at them, pondered for a moment, and said, "It is to throw a full-year-old girl into the river to pray for the blessing of the river god."

"It really makes no sense!"

When Qi Shaoan heard that the spoon was clenched tightly, his eyes were cold.

"Shao'er, let's go and see..."

"Madam Ye, don't worry, she must be still working on the method at this time. The steps are extremely cumbersome, and there is still time to rush there!"

Du Zhihang's voice was deep and thick, which obviously overshadowed Ye Jiu's voice. He pulled the boy next to him to replace him, and turned to Qi Shao'an, "Madam Ye, please."

Qi Shao'an nodded, frowning tightly, still immersed in the scary words of offering sacrifices to the River God just now, without thinking too much.

Ye Jiu saw that Qi Shao'an had already stepped out, her outstretched hand hung in the air awkwardly.

Du Zhihang looked at her and smiled gently, "Brother Ye, please."

……

When Ye Jiu and others arrived at the bridge, many people had already surrounded it.

"Mimimi, blah, blah! Roar!"

A man in a black robe and a devil mask is dancing on the board.

"That's the Lingmao?"

Ye Jiu asked with his arms folded.

Du Zhihang looked at Ye Jiu who insisted on walking in the middle, pursed his lips, nodded and said, "Exactly, she has been presiding over the sacrifice for five years."

Qi Shaoan frowned, "Five years? How many women died here?"

Du Zhihang thought for a while, "There are already three, this is the fourth."

"Every year of disaster, drought or flood, when everyone is at a loss, they will choose a young girl and perform a sacrificial ceremony to tide over the difficulties."

When Qi Shao'an clenched his hands into fists, his eyes seemed to burst into flames, "It's so ignorant, how can there be a river god! This is a good daughter's house, let such pretenders ruin their lives!"

"Mrs. Ye, don't be angry. Although such customs are unreasonable, they can calm the hearts of the people to the greatest extent."

"So let these innocent girls go to die?" Qi Shaoan narrowed his eyes, his complexion getting colder and colder.

Du Zhihang shook his head again and again, "This is the way the common people found out, I will stop them now."

He glanced at the two of them, pushed aside the crowd and squeezed forward a little bit.

"Hey, why do women make things difficult for women?"

Ye Jiu looked at the Lingma who was still dancing happily in front of him, and sighed.

"Ajiu, is there any way to save that girl?"

Qi Shao'an looked at the girl in red who was tied up at the bridge, and felt pain in her heart.

Even though she was wearing the most festive red wedding dress, there was a sad song of death in her ears.

Ye Jiu glanced at her, and waved his hands behind him, "Xiao Linzi."

Lu Lin stood up, full of fighting spirit, "Brother Ye, what do you want me to do? Do you want me to kick that thing into the water!"

Ye Jiu quickly stopped him, thought for a while, "Go and prepare carrot juice right away, five empty bowls, and a few seasonings."

She explained it in detail again, and finally said: "Go and come back quickly."

Lu Lin clasped his fists solemnly: "Yes!"

Looking at Lu Lin's disappearing back, Qi Shaoan was a little puzzled, "What is Ajiu preparing for?"

Ye Jiu smiled slightly, "Trick these evil spirits."

Qi Shao'an looked at her side face, she still had a gentle appearance, but there was a faint hint that she was bound to win.

She calmed down a little, with Ajiu around, she must be able to save this woman.

"The man surnamed Du takes good care of you."

Ye Jiu's calm tone finally showed some ups and downs, and Qi Shaoan turned his head when he heard the words.

There was a sudden difference on Ajiu's calm face just now, and his thin lips pursed slightly.

Qi Shao'an chuckled, looked towards the bridge, and saw Du Zhihang Zheng earnestly dissuading Mrs. Ling and all the common people.

"Is that so? I think it's because Mr. Du is a pure and kind man, unlike his father who doesn't do anything."

When Ye Jiu heard it, he felt like he was stuck in a garbage truck, he wanted to throw up and choked.

She glanced at Qi Shaoan, turned her head and left.

"Then let him save you."

The author has something to say: In order to insert a peerless knife, I deliberately watched a few sadistic dramas, oh, I am so fragrant.
