Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine

They seemed to have some scruples, looking at each other, waiting for someone to take the first step.

Seeing that he was at an impasse, Shen Fugui wanted to say something, but Yao Shu interrupted him first.

"If you are in need, you are welcome at any time. The two of us will not disturb everyone's rest today. We are waiting for your arrival at any time."

After Yao Shu finished speaking, she pulled Shen Fugui away directly.

Shen Fugui looked at her doubtfully and couldn't help but ask: "Mom, why don't we persuade her? They are obviously moved. Maybe after some more persuasion, they will take the initiative to come to us."

"If they are really moved, why are they full of scruples?" Yao Shu gently shook her head, "The hidden meaning in this is not something we can detect in a short while. One thing still needs to be clear, they I hate the imperial officials very much, to the point of rejecting them."

"I'm also aware of this matter, but I still find it very strange. Logically speaking, they shouldn't react so strongly. Could it be that the officials who came here before did something to make them so disgusted?" Shen Fugui Guessing, the tone on his face became more and more anxious.

Now that they have arrived at the disaster area, they must resolve this matter as quickly as possible and then return to the court to resume their duties.

On their way here, they offended the Minister of Etiquette, and they might hold a grudge against them.

If it continues to be delayed, it is inevitable that they will secretly cause trouble.

Thinking of this, his expression became a little more serious.

Shen Fugui suddenly felt that it was really difficult to be a good official who thought about the people. Not only did he have to stick to his heart, but he also had to guard against the conspiracies of others.

He felt extremely stressed and inevitably sighed several times.

Yao Shu knew the worry in his heart at this time, but she had no better way to persuade him.

After thinking about it, I could only appease him in the end: "Actually, you shouldn't be too stressed. If they react like this, it means it's not your own problem. I just asked about the last official who came here. , it seemed that the disaster relief mission was completed. But after returning to the palace, news came here that the disaster relief money had not been received."

There are many ways that they don't know, which will definitely make their next work difficult.

After returning to the inn, they told everyone exactly what happened.

General Ling also felt very strange: "That shouldn't be the case. Logically speaking, after the last official was found guilty of corruption, the court immediately sowed new money for them. They should have received it before this snow disaster."

The disaster situation where they are now is very serious. Before this blizzard, they also encountered heavy snow once.

Although the situation at that time was not as serious as it is now, the imperial court still sent people to help them solve their housing problems.

"The last official found out about corruption?" Yao Shu was shocked. She had never heard of this incident.

General Ling nodded: "Don't you know about this?"

No one told the Shen family that an official had also been here. Moreover, they did not come here voluntarily to provide disaster relief, but because they had recently recognized their relatives with Marquis Ningyuan, the emperor had an excuse for them to attract the firepower of the Minister of Rites.

They just made some simple preparations and came here. Although I wanted to inquire about what happened during this period, my ability was limited after all.

In addition, some people deliberately blocked the news, so in the end only a few words reached their ears.

"It turns out that such a complicated thing happened. It seems that we didn't understand it clearly in advance. But for now, let's make peace with it. In the afternoon, let's get ready and go to the porridge place. No matter whether there are people coming to ask for porridge or not, it's time to What is done must still be done properly.”

In the afternoon, everyone went to the porridge soup place. As Yao Shu said before, no one came to ask for a bowl of porridge.

Everyone just stood not far away and watched from a distance. Their biological instincts made them look hungry, but they still insisted not to move forward.

Seeing the children beside them crying out of hunger, the woman beside them was also a little moved.

This was because of the man standing next to them, who did not dare to step forward.

It was freezing cold, and the hot porridge quickly became cold.

Yao Shu glanced at the pot that was no longer steaming and started heating the porridge again in front of everyone without saying a word.

The fragrant porridge kept invading everyone's eyes and noses. The refugees who had not eaten hot food for several days couldn't help but subconsciously swallowed their saliva.

I thought this situation would continue to be deadlocked, but unexpectedly someone soon broke the deadlock.

As the woman screamed, everyone looked around and found a child lying on the ground dying.

The woman on the side quickly held her in her arms and rushed towards the stall like crazy.

Several men still wanted to stop them, but the woman looked at them with wide eyes: "He is only a child, how can he understand the disputes in your hearts? He is still so young, do I have to watch him starve to death and freeze to death?" ? You have your own mission and feelings, but don’t involve my child. Now the hot porridge is right in front of you, but my child is still hungry and fainting. If you still stop me at this moment, it will be the same as the bullshit before. What’s the difference between officials?”

The woman accused them hysterically, and immediately came to Yao Shu after speaking.

She knelt directly on the stall and begged: "I beg you, can you save my child? My child is innocent. We haven't had a bite of food in three days, and I don't have any blood to give." He drank."

While holding the child in her arms, the woman showed Yao Shu the wound on her fingertip.

Yao Shu immediately came to her with a bowl of porridge, took the child without saying a word, and began to help the woman feed the porridge.

Wang Yuanyang also hurriedly stepped forward, comforting the woman while gently helping her up.

This scene moved some people present.

When other children saw that the child lying down had food, they couldn't help but look at the mother beside them and cry.

The wailings made their mother's eyes red. Regardless of the so-called persistence and belief, they came to the stall and begged Yao Shu to give them a bowl of porridge.

Seeing more and more people spontaneously walking to the stall and queuing up, Yao Shu and others also breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter what these people think, the most important thing now is to save their lives.

Yao Shu paused and then said: "This is the imperial doctor who came from the palace specially. If you feel any discomfort in your body, you are welcome to consult us at any time."
