Li Daitao

These people are not all real beggars, but the people affected by the earthquake and storm, including local residents of Fengtai County and victims of nearby villages and towns.The small family that used to live and work in peace and contentment, was destroyed within a few days, and was left with nothing. The pain can be imagined.The entire Fengtai County was immersed in a sad and uneasy atmosphere. The rain was still falling, and the dark sky at dusk made people even more melancholy.

Fortunately, the emotions of these people seem to be still stable, and they have never gathered crowds to cause trouble, and they have not caused any troubles in Fengtai County, which has made the situation worse.

Although Yi Zhen felt that these disaster victims gathered together, if they could not be resolved safely, it would not be a good thing in the long run, and after the catastrophe, the epidemic was the thing to worry about more.But that is also something that can be considered in time today. At this moment, I can't take care of thinking about it so much, and I will fly home early with my heart.

He didn't even go back to the yamen, and ran directly to the house.

When I came to the door, I looked up and saw a few tents set up with rags and thatch in the yard. There were a few people who were as embarrassed as the victims of the disaster who wandered on the street. Their faces were full of sorrow, and they were repairing the bricks and stones. The walls were simply piled up and the simple roofs were reinforced, but no one noticed him walking in.

Yi Zhen was taken aback, only wondering if he had gone to the wrong place, he stepped back with one foot into the door, and took a closer look at the door outside.That's right, the door is still the front of our house. Half of the gable wall on the east side collapsed in the most violent earthquake. The scattered bricks were used by others, and the broken blue bricks that didn't collapse are still exposed on the wall. , is indeed their own home.Just don't know where these guys came from.

He walked in suspiciously, and entered the inner courtyard. The inside was much quieter than the outside, and the faces were all his guards.Yi Zhen found someone, and after questioning, he realized that it was Qin Shu's intention to let all the guards who originally lived in the outer courtyard move in, and give up the outer courtyard to the victims of the disaster.Although many houses were destroyed in this earthquake, there are always a few houses that can be used by people.Qin Shu said that it was better to have a roof above to keep out the wind and rain than to sleep in the wilderness.

But the houses that can accommodate people are really limited, that's why the scene that Yi Zhen saw just now happened. Although Yi Zhen felt that such a move was a good intention, it could not really solve the problem, and it was also extremely inappropriate.But since Qin Shu opened his mouth, he didn't say much.

Jian An ran out from the inner courtyard, and when she saw him, she flew towards him, plunged into his arms, and shouted, "Daddy! You're back!"

"Daddy is back." Yi Zhen carried him in. Seeing that the little guy was much more energetic than a few days ago, but he seemed to have lost a lot of weight, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed. He touched his little face and asked, "Jane Has An behaved these days? Is she obedient?"

"Be good. Be obedient." Jian An replied seriously, and for emphasis, she clenched her small fist and shook it in front of him. "Jian An is the most obedient and obedient!" After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and rummaged through Yi Zhen's sleeves, but he couldn't find any snacks.Feeling a little frustrated and disappointed, she said with a slumped face, "I'm hungry."

Yi Zhen was busy running around, but he didn't come back from shopping, so naturally he didn't prepare any snacks for him.Hearing this, he could only smile wryly.While feeling sorry for him, he thought of a thought, and his heart skipped a beat.Softly said: "Has Jian An not eaten?"

"I've eaten. I ate a noodle bun in the morning, and vegetable porridge in the evening. I ate it with my brothers and sisters. But I'm not full, I'm just hungry!" Jian An pointed back, still looking aggrieved, this The child is very precocious and sensible, maybe he has really suffered a lot in the past two days, and he hasn't seen Yi Zhen for more than ten days. Stomach, whispered emphatically. "Jian An is going to starve!"

Yi Zhen followed the direction of Jian An's finger, and then saw an extremely thin twelve or thirteen-year-old girl standing in front of him.His complexion is sallow, but his appearance is still pretty, and he is pinching the hem of his clothes uneasily, as if he wants to come forward but dare not.She had already roughly guessed who it was, and seeing Yi Zhen looking towards her, she bit her lip, knelt down and saluted, and said softly, "My lord is well."

Yi Zhen remembered at this moment that she was the one who took Jian An's hand and came out of the small courtyard where he and Qin Shu usually lived.As soon as Jian An saw him, he broke away from his hand and ran over.And when he saw Jian An, he was happy for a while, but he didn't notice her.

Presumably this little girl is also a victim of this disaster.Yi Zhen saw that her speech was quite clear and she looked very smart, but he just thought that she had just come out of his small courtyard, and it seemed that Qin Shu was very relieved to hand Jian An over to her, so he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Little Pimple nodded, but did not speak.

It happened that Qinglan heard that Master Hou was back, so she hurried over.Jian An struggled out of his arms very obediently.The little girl ran away with her.

Yi Zhen watched the two of them enter the small courtyard, frowned and said, "Who is that? Why did Jian An follow her around."

Even though Qing Lan is strong and healthy, she has been tired for many days and her face is a little tired.At this time, although he could hear the displeasure in his mouth, he didn't understand it.Looking in the direction of the small courtyard: "The siblings are little beggars who live in a ruined temple in the east of the city. The rain was too heavy a few days ago, and unfortunately the ruined temple collapsed. They were buried alive in it. The Young Master dug them out of the rubble with his own hands. The siblings had nowhere to go, so the young master left them behind to help take care of the young master."

After Yi Zhen heard this, it was hard to say anything else, and he had to give up on the plan to take him out of the hospital: "It turns out that they are two vagrants, and I said that it is only a few days, and it is impossible Hungry people like that."

Hearing this, Qing Lan became serious: "Speaking of which, the food in various places has only had time to collect more than half. There are many victims this time, and every household in the city has suffered losses to some extent. The granary was also flooded..."

Seeing that Yi Zhen frowned, he quickly continued: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Even so, there are many big households in Fengtai County. Among other things, there are also many undamaged granaries. The young master is afraid that the grain Price Juqi, a few days ago let us go and 'borrow' all the surplus grain. Naturally, we went there under the banner of you, Lord Hou. It went well." He looked at Yi Zhen, paused for a moment before saying: " The young master is very worried about you, and also afraid that you will blame him for self-assertion when you come back."

When Qin Shu came up with this idea, although he used Yizhen County Cheng as a big banner, he must have simply borrowed it, but it was Qinglan and others who went to do things.When this is an extraordinary time, it is natural to use extraordinary means, and they don't have to pretend to be gentle and reasonable - they are not gentlemen in the first place.Direct use is the most effective and direct method.

Yi Zhen could almost imagine the scene where these dry people waited for courtesy first and then soldiers, and if they refused, they would make gestures and ask with a grinning smile whether they wanted sliced ​​noodles or chaotic noodles.She couldn't help smiling, and was secretly overjoyed to hear that he was helping her too.Shaking his head and laughing, he said, "Why would I blame him?" Then he asked, "How much have you 'borrowed'?"

Qing Lan said a number, and Yi Zhen couldn't help but be overjoyed. Although this amount of money and food is not enough to completely solve the problem, for the time being, there is no need to worry about the victims.He breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't wait to see Qin Shu, and after briefly asking Qing Lan a few words, he sent him to do things by himself, and hurriedly went straight to the courtyard.

Qin Shu calculated the accounts for these days in the room, and ordered no one to come in and disturb him.Naturally, Yi Zhen was not bound by this, and excitedly pushed the door open while calling him.

But no one answered inside, Yi Zhen took a glance and saw Qin Shu laying on the bed silently and unwillingly.The quilt was pulled halfway across his body, and he didn't take off his shoes. It seemed that he just wanted to rest for a while, but he fell asleep without knowing it.There are several booklets spread out on the table.Yi Zhen took a cursory glance, and saw that it was the amount of food and grass borrowed, the number of victims, the losses in various places, the materials, labor and manpower consumed for cleaning and restoration these days, etc. Although it is only a rough idea, it must also cost a lot Energized.

Yi Zhen didn't bother to take a closer look, he glanced at it hastily, slowed down his pace, and walked gently to the bedside.

When he saw it, he found out distressedly that Qin Shu, who had been raised by him with great difficulty, had lost weight for a few days, and obviously lost a lot of weight.

He slept on his stomach.The face is slightly sideways, the chin is pointedly arched on the pillow, and the faint blue shadow under the eyes cannot be covered even by the thick and long eyelashes.His brows were furrowed sadly, and there were still wet tears on his face.

When Yi Zhen saw him, he was both distressed and happy. Although he had a lot to say to him, seeing his appearance, he couldn't bear to wake him up. He wanted to change him to a more comfortable position, but he was afraid of waking him up, so he had no choice but to He simply took off his shoes and socks, and gently moved under the quilt to cover him.

When covering him with the quilt, he inadvertently saw a smear of bright red in his collar.Taking a closer look, he found that what he was wearing under his coat were not exactly the two 'New Year's New Year's clothes' that he made by accident that day.Originally, I didn't know where to put it, but at this time, Qin Shu would find it somewhere and put it on.

Looking at the place in the bed where he should be, another new suit is neatly arranged on the bed according to the appearance of a person sleeping, and it is well covered under the quilt.
