Affected by the disaster, the inns everywhere are now closed, and Song Bai and his party can only stay in inns while stuck in time.I'd rather take a rest early than hurry after dark.

On this day, before sunset, they had already settled in the station.

"Tomorrow, we will be able to reach Uncle Erda's station." Shen Mu still missed Li Erda: "At that time, it was thanks to Uncle Erda, otherwise, my mother and I would have to be trained by the previous escort agency."

Song Bai comforted him: "When we start our business, that bodyguard bureau will not be able to afford it in the future!"

Shen Mu couldn't help laughing: "It's something that hasn't been seen yet, you're thinking about it now." He said again: "Uncle Er Da has already vented his anger on my behalf."

"Speaking of which, I really want to thank Uncle Er Da." Song Bai thought for a while, "Uncle also asked me to deliver a few jars of wine to Uncle Er Da. You rest first, I will go to the car to check the luggage and find out the wine. I'll call you later at dinner."

Official post stations have less facilities than inns and are more expensive than inns, but the only advantage is that they are safe, and there are officers and soldiers stationed inside.

Therefore, the less important luggage was not brought into the room, but was still placed in the carriage.They are all clumsy objects, few people steal them, and they are difficult to be stolen due to their large size.Song Bai found out the two altars of good wine that his uncle Xue Hai wanted to give to Paoze, put them in his carriage, and went to the back kitchen to explain the dinner.

After finishing the work, Song Bai went around to the cheapest Tongpu house, and brought the newly bought family of three upstairs.

He was brought directly to Shen Mu's room.These things are said to be Shen Mu's family affairs. Although the two of them do not distinguish between each other, it is safer to do it in front of Shen Mu out of emotion and reason.

"I bought your family not to serve others, but to entrust you to do important things." Looking at the family of three standing in the room, Song Bai said.

This family's surname is Liu, even if they sell themselves, they don't have any surnames to speak of.Song Bai didn't bother to ask them to change their surnames, so he used their original surnames, called Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu, and Xiao Liu.

Hearing this, Uncle Liu hurriedly bowed and said, "Your master, just give orders."

Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu are both honest and honest people. Although they are not very smart, they are not stupid either.This is what Song Bai valued, if he was a simple and honest person, he would not look down on the old man Shen and his wife.

"The two old men who are sitting in the carriage with you today, when you return to the village, you will live with them. But it is not to serve them, but to watch over them. Of course, they are old, and the family members If you can help me, you can help me..."

Song Bai is explaining Uncle Liu's family, but the old man Shen and his wife are still dreaming.

"In the future, we will also have servants to serve us!" Mrs. Shen was delighted.This is the first job in the village, "It's just that the servant's quality is not high... and there is a cripple."

"Satisfy you, three people serve the two of us, but still can't handle them?" Old man Shen didn't care about the lame or not, as long as he waited on them without delay.

"That's true." Mrs. Shen said: "It's not a loss to come back this time. I just don't know where Xiao Song will arrange us to go back to Xing'an County after taking the household registration? I think the two rooms we lived in before are not enough for five years. Live alone."

Old man Shen was also thinking about this matter: "When we go back this time, we have moved all the household registrations. It is impossible for this settlement to be in the Song family, so we have to settle for us alone. ... Later I have to follow Xiao Song said, let him buy us a house!"

"Can he agree..." Mrs. Shen was taken aback.This house is no better than three or two servants, so it will cost a lot of money!Besides, after moving out of the Song Mansion, can they still have such a good life?

"What are you afraid of? It's not a house that requires him to enter a few times. We only need a small courtyard to live in. If you don't agree to this request, go to their shop and make a fuss until they agree!" Old man Shen now feels , I have already mastered Song Bai's weakness.

If Song Bai, a businessman, wants to save his face, he has to follow them in everything!

But fortunately, this kid Xiao Song really knows the current affairs... At dinner, the old man Shen just expressed some dissatisfaction with the food, Song Bai immediately comforted him: "There is a disaster in Yuhu Prefecture, even if you have money, you can't buy good food. This is made from the things we brought with us. I have wronged the two elders."

After being coaxed by kind words, old man Shen's displeasure about not eating meat also eased a bit, but he still complained: "Why are you coming back in such a hurry, you can't wait for the famine to come back and then come back and change your household registration... "

Song Bai had a smile on his face, he didn't talk back, and let him babble.It was Shen Mu who slammed the chopsticks on the table: "I don't want to eat anymore, it would be nice to eat something!"

Old man Shen muttered a few words: Now he doesn't dare to fall out with Shen Mu.He has a clear heart in his heart, Song Bai has a good temper these days, but it's because of face, and because of Shen Mu.

After all, they are Shen Mu's grandparents, not Song Bai's.Therefore, although he is greedy, he also (thinks) acts with discretion.After all, if Song Bai is annoyed too much, and even Shen Mu is implicated and abandoned, then the good times are over.

So I just muttered a few words, and I felt that it was boring, so I stopped.

After living in Song's house for a few days, his appetite has been spoiled. This meal has no meat and no fresh vegetables, so it is really uncomfortable to eat.

The three members of the Liu family sat next door and ate even worse dry food and salted vegetables, but they cherished it very much.Aunt Liu secretly raised her eyes to look at Old Man Shen and Old Lady Shen: In the past few days, this old couple can still shake their prestige...

The next day, he drove another day and arrived at the post where Li Erda was in the evening.Song Bai gave Li Erda the wine prepared by his uncle Xue Hai. Seeing that the food was not good for the officers and soldiers, he gave them two sacks of grain.

Most of the food was packed in the space by Master Song and his wife, but they also brought some with them.

Li Erda was very happy: "In the past, I would naturally love wine the most, but now this food is what saves lives!"

As officers and soldiers, they naturally have rations to eat, but those soldiers are not all naked, they always have families.Many soldiers left their share of rations to distribute to their families, even Li Erda did the same.

Compared to the last time we met, Li Erda has lost a lot of weight.

"However, we can't take your food for nothing." Li Erda rubbed his hands, "Why don't I send a few brothers to escort you all the way. Going south, the situation is even worse, and the road is even more difficult."

With officers and soldiers protecting each other, just that suit of clothes can save a lot of trouble.

"Of course it's good." Song Bai was also very happy: "I shouldn't have been polite to Uncle Erda. You helped Xiaomu, and you are in love with my uncle. This little food is nothing. But our journey Coming here, it is not an exaggeration to say that I am worried. Being escorted by officers and soldiers can save a lot of worry, thank you, Uncle Er Da."

"That's what I said. You are Dahai's nephew, that is, my nephew. Your little husband is also a good boy, and he is talking about his own family." Li Erda smiled: "I am also selfish. This The brothers are escorting you, and you don’t have to take care of the food? The saved food can be sent home. It’s not easy.”

For the Song Bai family, the rations for several people are nothing.But in Yuhu Prefecture, where famine has been raging for more than half a year, a few mouthfuls of food might save a life.

With the escort of Li Erda's soldiers, the road ahead will be much easier.A few days later, the group finally arrived in Fengshui County.

Song Bai was not in a hurry to return to the village, but thanked Li Erda's soldiers, settled the bill with the escort, temporarily stayed at the post station in Fengshui County, and discussed the future with Shen Mu. "Have you ever thought about where we will live in the future?"

Shen Mu calmed down after being excited.

It's fine if you haven't thought about it, but once you think about it, you know that the village can't live anymore.

Without him, there is no place to live.

Flash floods submerged half of the village, and many villagers must have been left homeless.What's more, when Song Bai went back, Shen Qingshi was very embarrassed and told him that they took all the things that could be used in the village to the cave.

It also includes Shen Mu's house.

Be urgent.

Then after the flood, will Shen Qingshi arrange homeless people to live in Shen's house where the owner is not there?

Eighty percent yes.

In today's world, people in the village have neither money nor ability to build new houses.Shen Mu's family has gone back, what about the people who are temporarily staying at Shen Mu's house?Get out?

"This is all our speculation, and it may not be true that someone lives in our house..." Shen Mu did not give up.The house was built when Boss Shen was still alive, and it was recently renovated, Shen Mu was reluctant.

"Indeed, it's useless for us to guess, it's better to ask someone." Song Bai said.

Who to ask?Others don't know, but the old man Shen who just came out of the village not long ago must know.

"I've lived here, and I've lived in two other houses. Not to mention your house, even Wang Ermazi's house, people who have died violently can still live in it." Old man Shen was quite upset when he talked about this. Happy.At that time, Shen Qingshan and others returned from their corvée service, and the flood was over. All the villagers came down from the caves and returned to the village.

The old man Shen and his wife hid in the neighboring village at that time, and they came back late, and Shen Mu's family had already been arranged to join the two families.

Originally, Old Shen and his wife wanted to live in Shen Mu's house by themselves.After all, Shen Mu's house is one of the best houses in the village, much better than Shen's old house.

After complaining, the old man Shen became vigilant again: "Why are you asking this? Do you still want to go back to the village? I saw that we signed the household registration in a hurry, and it is serious to go back. This poor place can't even eat , I can't stay for another day."

Song Bai laughed: "I want to go back... Isn't Dad's memorial tablet still in the village?"

Mentioning Boss Shen, Old Man Shen was somewhat guilty, so he stopped talking.

Shen Mu completely stopped thinking.It's true that he was picky, but at a time like this, he couldn't do anything to drive the disaster-stricken villagers out of their homes.

This is not a neighborly conflict taking advantage of the peacetime, this is an emergency.

After returning to his room, Song Bai asked him: "So what do you think? Now I just want to build another house in the village, and I don't have the manpower and material resources. I can't even eat enough. Who can help you build a house? I am Thinking about it, let's buy a ready-made house to live in first - now that the disaster has just hit, the house and land are quite cheap, and I don't feel bad. The price will rise slowly in the future, and it can be said to be profitable Pen. Just think about it, do we live in the county seat or in the town?"
