Reborn peasant girl

Chapter 229 Ford

Concubine liu was curious as well, so she carried Jiao Jiao out.

The old man held his granddaughter in his arms and listened to the few boys sent out.

The few of them were now in a much more awkward state than when they went out in the morning, and their expressions were a little complicated. Upon hearing the question from the winners' house, they replied," shopkeeper, we went through the south and east of the city separately. We carefully asked where these people came from. I heard that they were all from huyang district. Their hometown was flooded with drought and there was no harvest. The official residence closed the city and did not allow them to enter, so they came all the way to us begging. I heard ... Half the people died on the road, and a lot of young and strong people were taken away and sold as slaves. "

"Yes, shopkeeper, these people are too pitiful. I counted them simply, and there were almost a thousand of them, and most of them were women and half children, and they took away what was to be eaten. If no one helped him, he would have starved to death within a few days. "

"Someone is starving. I saw a little girl lying in a shack with my own eyes just now. She's not breathing anymore ..."

Before the lin family brought the boys in as their friends, they were also little beggars who roamed the streets. Although they often ate the last meal, they still had some leftovers. Now, seeing the children of his age starve to death and the rabbit die, his eyes turned red and he couldn' t help but sob.

"It's really too pitiful. A kid said that he hadn' t eaten for half a month. Yesterday, he ate the beans in the field ..."

The crowd was also worried. Lin dahe waved his hand and chased the boys to wash up. The few boys slowly stepped out, their eyes still couldn' t help but stare at the crowd, clearly expecting them to open their mouths to save the victims.

Unfortunately, even when they were far away, they didn' t hear elder lin's words.

Lin dahe looked at the table with his finger and frowned." Father, there are more than a thousand people. There are too many. If there were a hundred people, it wouldn' t be difficult for us to buy food for ourselves. But now ..."

Fang jie shook his fan and refuted," it's easy to solve the difficulties for a while, but it's troublesome to let these people stay for the winter and even live in the future. "

"You can't just let it die. It's mostly women and children. "

Lin dajiang looked at lin rong, lin bao, and Jiao Jiao, and felt a lot of sympathy. If one day the children at home were in trouble, he would also look forward to someone to help them save their lives.

"Father, how many more apprentices do you think I have? "

"Well, what's wrong with that? Old master lin knocked on the table and looked up at the crowd." Since we' ve met, it's hard to pretend that we don' t know." Although our family is weak, we can't know without trying. "

After saying that, he instructed lin dahe," dahe, take a look at the amount of money the store has received this month and take it out to buy food. We still have some food in the house. I' ll go to the villagers everywhere and gather more. First, we' ll send porridge outside the city to protect the victims. We' ll discuss the rest slowly. "

"Yes, father, I'll go now. "

Hearing the old man's decision to save her, everyone's faces lit up with joy.

Lin dajiang also said," father, I also got some money here ..."

"Don't worry, step by step. You have to prepare first, not only food, but also firewood and pots and bowls, all need to be arranged. I'll go back to the village, get some men, come and help tomorrow. These victims had been starving for too long, and they were prone to panic when they suddenly saw food and food. "

Elder lin carried Jiao Jiao and stood up to bid farewell to the crowd before leaving. Lin baozao ran to set up the carriage and soon the carriage ran out of the cheap workshop.

It was cold in winter, and the northwest wind was like a knife cutting into her face, making her life a living hell. Only the south of the city and the east of the two places, there are walls to block the cold wind, there is thin sun can be basked in, so, gathered the largest number of victims.

This time, the forest guard learned his lesson and walked through the clearest northern city gate. As expected, he was not stopped and took a detour back to the lin family village.

Jiao Jiao wanted to talk to her grandfather a little more, but when they heard that she was scared, they almost got surrounded by the victims. They were all heartbroken and left her at the top of the kang. They covered the blanket and sweated.

Jiao Jiao had no choice but to go to her space to take a look, but she closed her eyes and fell asleep ...

When she opened her eyes again, the window was already dark.

This time, the old man was guarding by the side. When he heard his granddaughter wake up, he lit the oil lamp and asked," Jiao Jiao is awake? "

"Grandpa? Jiao Jiao rubbed his eyes and said," I have food here. I want to tell you that grandma will let me sleep. "

The old man was amused and put on a cotton jacket for her before replying," grandpa waited for you to wake up because of this. Just now, grandpa went out for a walk, small wang village, zhao jiatun and sanli river are not rich, this year's harvest, each family left a little more food. Hearing that he was going to help the victims, everyone was still supportive. They tried their best to gather together thirty bags of food. Our family bought land this year, the most grain. Your father just counted, sorghum can take out 70 bags, wheat 130 bags, rice, more than 400 bags.

But these listen to a lot, to more than a thousand people on the head, but also can persist for half a month. How much more do you have? "

Jiao Jiao did not say anything. His heart sank into his space. Just as he was about to check, the old man opened his mouth again." Jiao Jiao, don't force yourself. Be careful that you have used too much magic and hurt yourself. "

Jiao Jiao's heart warmed and she grinned." Don't worry, grandpa. I'm fine. "

The old man was finally relieved and sighed," if it weren' t for the fact that your life was at stake, grandfather wouldn' t want you to use your divine skills. However, saving lives is a great blessing, hoping that all the blessings will fall on you, save the whole family for your fear. "

Jiao Jiao's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He blinked his big eyes and suddenly felt that grandpa's words made sense.

Since she couldn' t find the reason for the spatial degradation, she would do more good deeds. Perhaps it would be rewarding.

She searched for a pen and paper and took a look at the space while recording it. Finally, he said," grandpa, the only food I can take out is 100 bags of rice, but these rice seeds are definitely better than the ones at home. About next year, the villagers of the village of shili and ba will also exchange rice with our family. Why not start now and exchange a catty of rice for a few catties of coarse grain, and then use coarse grain to help the victims, so they can always last a few more days. And salt, I can also take more here, and some autumn vegetables, mixed with porridge, but also hungry. "

"That's a good idea. Life is the most important thing, and taste is secondary. Then, he changed the rice in the house into coarse grain and could last a few more days. "

The old man nodded and Jiao Jiao continued," furthermore, I' m starting to plant sorghum and millet today. I' ll collect a batch of grain in a month's time. I' ll definitely have a way to settle these people. "
