There is Room For the Poor Daughter

Chapter 255, saving lives

It was not until the end of August that the gate of Xingyun House was opened.

If you don't open it, you can't do it. The city gates have been closed for nearly three months, and the supplies in the city have been used up. Now, many people have nothing to eat.

Now that the plague has been cured, everyone can go out and make a living.

Daohua thought they could leave, but who knew that Xiao Yeyang would still stay for disaster relief.

Governor Guo is in charge of the military affairs of the three provinces of Zhongzhou, Fenxi, and Jiguang. This time the flood and plague broke out in Jiguang, and he is required to coordinate.

Now that the plague is under control, a large number of victims have not been resettled.

Governor Guo is very busy now. Xiao Yeyang went to see it once and found that he hadn't seen him for two or three months, and his uncle had lost a lot of weight. Even if he decided to stay and help, he also wanted to exercise himself.

Dong Yuanxuan and Yan Wenxiu thought for a few nights and decided to stay.

"Originally, we came to Jiguang to practice disaster relief, but we didn't expect that we would be infected with the plague before we did our business. Now that we are cured, we should do something serious, otherwise, we will really run for nothing. ."

Hearing this, Daohua and Dong Yuanyao looked at each other.

Daohua looked at the three Yan Wenxiu brothers: "I'm here to pick you up, so I'll go back whenever you guys go back."

Dong Yuanyao also quickly said to Dong Yuanxuan: "Brother, me too, anyway, I want to go back to Zhongzhou with you."

In this regard, Yan Wenxiu and Dong Yuanxuan both looked helpless.

Finally, Dong Yuanxuan said, "Then you stay in the palace city and don't run around. Now there are disaster victims everywhere, it will be very dangerous for you two little girls to go out."

Daohua nodded quickly and said: "Don't worry, if we didn't follow you, we promise not to run around."

Dong Yuanyao also nodded.

In the days that followed, Xiao Yeyang and his party were sent by Governor Guo to help, and Daohua and Dong Yuanyao were not idle either.

Daohua sent Qin Xiaoliu back and brought several boats of food; Dong Yuanyao also sent a letter to the family, and the Dong family also raised a batch of food.

The two set up a porridge stall at the gate of the city to serve porridge.

"This river bank burst is really harmful!"

"Isn't it? I heard that this time Jiguang was flooded with countless fertile fields and washed down many houses."

Daohua and Dong Yuanyao disguised as men and stood in front of the porridge stall, scooping porridge for others and talking in a low voice.

"It's not the corruption and bribery of the officials, or the corpse, otherwise, where would we suffer these hardships!"

A voice of dissatisfaction with a strong complaint entered the ears of Daohua and Dong Yuanyao. When the two looked up, they saw a dark and stocky boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a bunt.

Daohua saw that the people around her showed approval. After thinking for a while, she said, "You can't kill everyone with one shot. Not all officials are bad, and there are also many honest and honest ones."

The young man smiled sarcastically: "Little brother, you are still too young, how can there be any real good officials in this world? Even if there are, they are just some people who are famous for their reputation."

Dong Yuanyao on the side was too angry, put the spoon away, and looked at the young man unpleasantly: "What are you talking about here? If there are no good officials in this world, when the plague broke out before, who sent the medicinal materials? raised?"

"Who bought the porridge you're drinking now? Who are the people who go to various places to relieve disasters and deliver food? You can't be a person without a conscience. You can't drink the porridge raised by officials and speak ill of officials."

The young man was speechless, and after a while, he muttered: "Is this porridge raised by officials?"

Dong Yuanyao: "Of course, listen carefully. One of the two porridge stalls was set up by the governor of Zhongzhou, and the other was set up by the magistrate of Xingzhou. If you don't believe it, you can ask."

Seeing that everyone around was nodding, the young man looked at Dong Yuanyao, who was angrily. He buried his head and left without making the porridge.

Daohua pulled Dong Yuanyao: "Why are you so angry? That person is probably just complaining that his home was destroyed."

Dong Yuanyao picked up the spoon and continued to scoop the porridge for the people behind: "I just can't get angry, and I won't talk about your father, but my father, I watched him as an official since he was a child, maybe he has some official habits. , but he is really doing things for the people.”

Daohua: "Okay, don't be mad!" After that, she summoned Wang Man'er and asked her to bring a bowl of porridge to the young man just now.

She looked at it, and the young man was carrying an old man.

Dong Yuanyao looked over, pouted, and said nothing.

Daohua smiled and did not explain.

She doesn't have the strong sense of substitution that Dong Yuanyao has, and she also knows that what that person really wants to say is the officials who caused the river embankment to burst. The cheap father has nothing to do with this matter, so she naturally doesn't mind.

In a blink of an eye, it was September.

On the Double Ninth Festival, Xiao Yeyang was instructed by Governor Guo to escort a batch of food to the next door to the city. When passing through the city gate, he saw Daohua and Dong Yuanyao and asked.

"Would you like to come with me and go for a walk in the next city?"

Daohua and Dong Yuanyao's eyes lit up: "Is it okay?"

Xiao Yeyang smiled: "What's wrong, just bring you two more."

Daohua hurriedly said: "Then let's go. You wait a moment, I will explain."

After a while, the three came to the pier and boarded the boat.

Daohua stood on the deck looking at the flooded fields on both sides, sighed, and then asked, "Can we go back today?"

Xiao Yeyang nodded: "Of course, if it goes well, I will be back before evening."

An hour later, Xiao Yeyang and the three arrived at the Fucheng Pier next door.

In this flood, the emperor made a big fire and dealt with a group of officials severely. Now the officials in Jiguang are conscientious and conscientious, for fear of being held accountable for not doing well.

Therefore, Xiao Yeyang's handover went smoothly.

"Don't worry, little prince, these grains will be put into disaster relief immediately."

Xiao Yeyang's expression remained unmoved, and he said lightly, "I've sent a lot of grains here. If the disaster is not under control, then it's your problem, Lord Prefect. You can explain it to the royal uncle yourself at that time."

The prefect's body suddenly trembled.

On the bow of the boat, looking at Xiao Yeyang, who was stern and unsmiling, Dong Yuanyao pulled Daohua's sleeve: "When the little prince is not smiling, it is quite scary."

Daohua took a careful look, pursed her lips and didn't respond.

Maybe she was too familiar with Xiao Yeyang, or maybe she had seen Xiao Yeyang as a beggar. Anyway, she was not very afraid of him.

Soon, Xiao Yeyang came back, looked at Daohua and said with a smile: "Okay, my errands are over, when I go back, the boat can drive slower, and it's all for fun."

"OK!"

Daohua and Dong Yuanyao are absolutely indispensable, and they came out this time for a ride.

On the way, the three of Daohua stood on the deck talking and laughing, and suddenly heard exclamations from the shore. They looked up and found that a river bank had suddenly sunk, and a few people passing by fell directly into the water.

Xiao Yeyang immediately asked people to stop the boat, and called the little servant who knew the water to go into the water to save people, and then prepared to go behind the boat to watch in person.

Daohua and Dong Yuanyao wanted to follow, but were stopped by Xiao Yeyang.

"The stern is narrow and messy, don't go over, beware of falling into the river."

Daohua said quickly: "Then you have to be careful yourself."

Xiao Yeyang nodded, then turned and left.

Just as Daohua and Dong Yuanyao were waiting for the news, there was another call from the front.

Daohua immediately looked over and found that the river bank in front had also collapsed, and two old people fell into the water at once.

"Quick, save people quickly."

The people on the deck looked at it in a panic, and then said, "Miss Yan, everyone who knows water has gone to the back to save people, and none of us can."

Daohua was taken aback for a moment, and quickly looked at the two old men in the river who were rushing towards them.
