Princess of Han

On this day, Yongfeng Township, which had been bleak and desolate due to the plague, suddenly became lively. Many refugees in ragged clothes walked towards the largest squire in the area, Yuanwai Chen, supporting each other. After the porridge shed was set up, it instantly brightened up, bursting out with an unimaginable look.

"It's food, it's food, we're here, we're here..."

"Mother, mother, hold on, look, we have arrived, we will have something to eat later, mother..."

"Sister, I'm so hungry!"

"Be patient, just be patient..."

……

There was a moment of turmoil among the refugee crowd, but it soon calmed down.Seeing the long line already formed outside the Chen Family Congee Shed, the others also walked over automatically, and lined up quietly.

Xu Da led a group of companions who grew up together to maintain order, plus the servants of the Chen family, they looked decent, and no one dared to take the opportunity to make trouble.Xu Peiyao greeted people at the side, asking all the refugees who came here to drink a bowl of herbal medicine to prevent the spread of the plague, just in case.

She is more careful, thinking that there may be more refugees coming these three days, fearing that the gathering of the crowd will be a hotbed for the spread of the plague, so she asked her second brother to go to the city to buy some herbs, plus she I found it outside, and boiled a large pot of soup, which is barely enough.

Seeing that the girl was so busy that her feet didn't touch the floor, and that there was dripping sweat on her forehead, Chen Youliang, who had rushed over as soon as Peiyao appeared, felt distressed and reluctant.

"Sister Peiyao, let the servants of my family do all these things. Take a good rest and don't get tired."

"It's okay. By the way, have all the refugees from the nearby villages come over?" Xu Peiyao raised her head and looked around as she wiped her forehead with her sleeves up.

There were hundreds of people, and this was the first day, and many people around couldn't catch up.She should be thankful, fortunately, the plague has killed most of the villagers, so that now the people in the surrounding villages look extremely withered?Otherwise, the food they prepared, even if the porridge was thin, with a lot of coarse grains and sweet potatoes added to it, it would not be enough for the people in the surrounding villages to eat.

She also roughly estimated the number of people who survived the plague, and found a few wealthy gentry nearby to sponsor some, which should be about the same.

It's just that the surrounding villages have endured the most difficult period. Once the plague is over and the next spring is planted, the nearby villages can slowly resume farming and recuperate.

As for other places in Haozhou City, she can't intervene, that's the government's business.

If the government let it go and let the people live and die, don't blame those desperate people who rose up.

"Sister Peiyao, sister Peiyao?"

"Ah, what's the matter?" regained consciousness, Xu Peiyao asked without raising her head while distributing the medicine.

"It's hot, go to the shed for shade."

Xu Peiyao raised her head, sure enough, the sun was so strong that she couldn't stand it, let alone other people.

Many of those refugees came here after a long journey, plus they were displaced and had nothing to eat. They were already exhausted. Now that they were scorched by the sun, many of them looked sluggish. like.Seeing the potion Xu Peiyao gave out, they quickly took it and drank it like water.

"Chen Youliang, ask someone to pull a piece of cloth and build a few shaded awnings on it."

If you continue to bake like this, you will definitely suffer from heat stroke!

"I'll let someone do it right now. Sister Peiyao, it's you, you've been busy for a long time, take a rest." After swiping to open the fan in his hand, the boy gently patted the girl with a worried face. Fanning the wind, he couldn't help persuading him.

Xu Peiyao looked up at the sky, then saw that the people around her had almost drunk the potion, and finally nodded.

"Alright."

Chen Youliang couldn't help being happy, he followed the girl and fanned her while secretly happy.

"Sister, are you finished?" Xu Da turned around and saw Chen Youliang running to find his sister again, circling Pei Yao like a fly that couldn't be chased away. He was suddenly out of breath Call one.

Chen Youliang, how can you take advantage of loopholes like this.

"Brother!" Seeing Xu Da approaching aggressively, Xu Peiyao was startled.But right away, she forgot about it.

Chen Youliang suddenly stopped in front of the girl nervously, with a guarded look on his face, and his eyes turned cold.

"what happened?"

"Sister Peiyao, those refugees I met that day. They dared to come to your door."

Not far away, another group of refugees approached.However, Chen Youliang noticed with sharp eyes that some of them were very familiar, and they had only seen each other some time ago.Of course, Chen Youliang remembered those who cut him.

"What?" Xu Da was startled, but Xu Peiyao narrowed her eyes slightly and suddenly smiled.
