I don't read sage books

The author has something to say: He Tang: I post four, Jing Yun and I are innocent!

According to historical records, in the 57th year of the Ming Dynasty, droughts broke out in various parts of the north and south, especially in the north. In most cases, there was no rain in March, and the fields dried up. Refugees died on the way. Some rioters gathered in groups to loot along the way and robbed rice. The poor lived on withered grass and bark. Tens of thousands of livestock starved to death due to lack of water and food. .

The thing that Lin Jingyun was most worried about happened. Calculated, there was no rain in Beiyang Town for a month.

As early as one and a half months ago, He Tang bought rice on the market in a big way. At that time, most people in Beiyang Town hadn't expected the drought to come. At this time, the rain had not fallen for a long time, and disasters came from the north one after another. The people were panic-stricken and couldn't sleep peacefully. .

Before the disaster actually arrived, He Tang sold the rice at three times the price to a few merchants who wanted to make money from the disaster. Most of those merchants would wantonly drive up prices and compete viciously. One stroke, but a catastrophe is imminent.

Lin Qingyu went out early today, and found that there were many more refugees in Beiyang Town, all of whom were lying on the side of the road in ragged clothes. On the street, the He family was distributing [-] steamed buns a day, but they still couldn't satisfy the increasing number of people. number of people.

He has been in the He Mansion for more than three months. Because of taking care of his elder brother, he seldom goes out. Today, he heard that the cakes at the end of the alley were opened, so he made a special trip to buy the jujube cakes that his elder brother likes. It's just a short walk. When he saw the homeless refugees on the side of the road, his joyful mood of going out gradually sank.

Without He Tang, he and his brother would have fallen into this situation.

He was a little lost in thought, and Yuan Bao, who was beside him, also felt uncomfortable, "My lord, when will it rain?"

Lin Qingyu shook her head, grabbed the jujube cake wrapped in oiled paper, and quickened the pace of the return journey.

Walking to a street, I suddenly heard a burst of mourning and crying. A woman threw herself on the ground hoarsely, clutching the trousers of a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks tightly, "Don't sell it, please don't sell it..."

"If we don't sell it, we will starve to death. What do you want to do with a girl doll? Following us will only be a drag!"

The man was holding a baby girl who was about a few months old, and his voice was hoarse from crying. The man turned a deaf ear, kicked the woman, and put on a flattering face, and said to the butler standing outside the house, "How many months?" It's a little younger, but it will be the wife's child in the future."

Talking about sending the baby out, the woman cried and wanted to grab it, but was kicked to the ground by the man angrily. In a blink of an eye, the baby was delivered to the housekeeper.

Such a life was only exchanged for half a bag of rice.

Lin Qingyu felt grief and indignation, she folded her fingers unconsciously, and was about to move forward, how could Yuan Bao not know his temperament, so she quickly stopped her, "My lord, my lord, it's not like before, don't cause trouble!"

One sentence shocked Lin Qingyu, his pupils constricted violently, as if stuck in his throat, "Could it be that I can just sit back and ignore it?"

Under natural disasters, human life is cheaper than ants. Lin Qingyu used to love to read story books, and she also experienced the tragic situation of selling wives and daughters in the book, but she really saw the tears of women and heard the tears that were torn from her heart. Only after hearing the sound of crying did he realize that the misery recorded in the book was far worse than one-thousandth of the reality.

The woman watched the door close and fell to the ground, unable to get up.

But the man still pulled her arm. In his eyes, a daughter of the same blood was nothing. He said, "Why are you crying? You're someone else's loser when you grow up. Now you can get a change of food. If you don’t lose her, you have a conscience!”

Lin Qingyu was furious when she heard this, she knew she shouldn't do anything, but she still impulsively walked up, reached out and grabbed the man's palm that was about to be swung down, and said sharply, "You only know how to bully women, what's your skill?"

The man thought he had been hungry for many days, and was thrown by Lin Qingyu, and he staggered a few steps. He reacted, staring at a pair of protruding eyes, "What are you meddling with, this is my wife, I can discipline you how I want." How to discipline."

As he said, he rushed forward with a hideous face, Lin Qingyu was already angry, and now he didn't care about Yuan Bao's saying that he couldn't cause trouble, so he rolled up his sleeves and greeted the man's face, Yuan Bao saw that it was too late to stop him, so he could only bite Gritting their teeth and going up to help, the master and servant punched like headless chickens, beating the man until he screamed.

The man was afraid of being beaten, he was really a bully, and kept begging for mercy.

Lin Qingyu didn't let go of her hatred at all, her chest heaved violently, helped the woman up, and comforted her, "What are you doing with such a wolf-hearted person?"

The woman kept crying, "It was my father, my father sold me to him..."

Her daughter actually ended up with the same fate as her.

Lin Qingyu's heart was bitter, and she was about to speak, when a familiar voice came from behind her, "Girl, my shop is still short of staff, I wonder if you are willing to help?"

Lin Qingyu hurriedly turned around to look, only to see He Tang walking out from the crowd of onlookers and winking at him.

The next thing can be explained in a few words. He Tang redeemed the baby girl for the woman, and asked his attendants to send her mother and daughter back to the store. Like a plague god, he walked forward without looking back. The man was blocked by He Tang's entourage, and he didn't dare to make a move, so he could only watch his wife and daughter leave.

After making arrangements for the mother and daughter, Lin Qingyu followed He Tang into the carriage.

As soon as the car door was closed, He Tang took Lin Qingyu's hand and made him fall into his arms, then laughed softly, Lin Qingyu was stunned, remembering how many times He Tang watched the scene of her fighting with others, she stared ,"why are you laughing?"

He Tang happened to pass by by chance, through the curtain of the car, he saw Lin Qingyu in the crowd of onlookers at a glance. He was so energetic to stand up for others, and even had the courage to fight with others in the street. He really had a bit of the high-spirited appearance of the first acquaintance. , he was fascinated by it and didn't interfere until Lin Qingyu had enough fights before getting off the carriage.

"You're so courageous, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to beat others?" He Tang pinched his cheek and shook it lightly.

Lin Qingyu hid for a while, but didn't dodge. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Yuan Bao and I are afraid that we won't be able to beat one. You must be underestimating me."

"Qingyu is so mighty, how dare I underestimate you," said the words with respect, but the words were full of teasing, "In my opinion, even the strongest warriors come, and they have to be intimidated by Qingyu's aura. Your legs are shaking."

Of course, Lin Qingyu knew that He Tang was teasing her, so she pretended to raise her hand to hit her, but He Tang put her face on him facelessly, "Let me appreciate Qingyu's martial arts."

Lin Qingyu was so angry that her teeth were itching, and on a whim, she opened her mouth and bit He Tang's cheek. I couldn't help but proudly said, "Let you recruit me!"

He Tang touched his face, but he didn't look annoyed, instead he put his lips together and said in a low voice, "You have to bite here."

Lin Qingyu was not as thick-skinned as him. She blocked it with her hand, and then remembered what happened just now, feeling sad, "The drought this time is much more serious than I imagined."

He Tang hugged the soft body tightly in his arms. These days he was so busy with the refugees pouring into Beiyang Town that he rarely had a moment to rest. He also felt tired, so he buried his head in Lin Qingyu's neck, lightly Sighed, "I wish I could get through this sooner."

Lin Qingyu hummed, and wanted to talk, but found that He Tang was already drowsy on his shoulder, and there was a lingering fatigue on his usually elegant face. He hesitated for a while, and finally stretched out his arms to hug He Tang. Tang, let He Tang lean on his body to rest.

Not long after, He Tang also fell into a deep sleep in the bumpy carriage.

Looking at He Tang's peaceful sleeping face, Lin Qingyu felt an indescribable strangeness in his heart, sour and astringent as if he had eaten ten catties of jujube cake, he pursed his lips slightly, and slowly closed his eyes.
