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

Since they had already eaten the porridge, they simply stopped holding on.

There was a neat queue in front of the stall, all the way to the city gate.

Even the young people who were still clamoring just now can't restrain their hunger now and respectfully line up together.

After everyone finished drinking the porridge, those who felt unwell quickly ran to the imperial doctor and lined up.

After all, this is the imperial doctor in the palace, and many people will never see him once in their lifetime. Royal doctors have great medical skills. Even if they are not sick or in pain, they still have to take the initiative to come forward for consultation and check their bodies.

Shen Fugui came to Yao Shu's side gratefully and said softly: "Mom, you still have a way! Now seeing them all rushing to drink porridge, I feel relieved. As long as they are willing to cooperate, what will happen next? Give them a place to live, and they can go back to work soon."

Seeing Shen Fugui looking forward to the future, Yao Shu didn't want to hurt his self-confidence.

"But don't be too happy too early. After all, they are a difficult group." After Yao Shu finished speaking, she pointed to a few people not far away.

Shen Fugui followed her line of sight and found that it was the county magistrate he had met before.

The county magistrate was standing behind the crowd with a very happy expression on his face, as if he was really happy for the refugees.

This appearance made Shen Fugui a little strange: "Is there something wrong with the county magistrate?"

There were many people here, so Yao Shu naturally couldn't say it directly.

She shook her head helplessly: "We can talk about these things when we get back."

Shen Fugui nodded as if he understood, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the task of serving porridge.

After all the porridge was distributed to the people, it was already evening.

Everyone was exhausted, but when they thought about today's battle, they felt very happy.

"I thought everyone would lose order, but I didn't expect everyone to be so disciplined." Wang Yuanyang couldn't help but sigh.

Yao Shu shook her head: "Things are not that simple. According to the number of people reported by the court, this place should be overcrowded. But we have been here for so long, even if we are giving porridge, only these people from nearby come. This means that there are more people. Observing in secret, or perhaps being forced not to come out.”

Her words made everyone present look serious, and they all realized the seriousness of the matter.

If it is true as she said, it means that the situation everyone will face will be more complicated.

"Let's take it one step at a time. At least we have taken the first step now." Yao Shu nodded gently, soothing everyone's emotions, and her tone deliberately became calm.

Infected by her emotions, everyone couldn't help but feel happy.

Seeing everyone discussing what they saw today, Yao Shu couldn't help but sigh.

This silent smoke will not go so smoothly. The problem has not been discovered yet because the people behind it have hidden the problem.

Shen Nanshan noticed that her mood was wrong and cautiously approached her.

"Old lady, we are making very good progress today, which should be something to be happy about. But now that I see you looking so sad, could it be that you have remembered something?" Although Shen Nanshan has a single-minded mind, he often cannot react. The root of the matter, but she could always detect that Yao Shu's mood was wrong at the first time.

Coupled with what happened in the past two days, Shen Nanshan paid more careful attention to Yao Shu.

"This place is far from simple as we imagined. It's better to be cautious."

Before he could say the next words, Shen Fugui approached him cautiously: "Mom, what did you mean by what you said in front of the stall today?"

"I think there's something wrong with the county magistrate."

Hearing this, Shen Fugui looked around subconsciously, and then the expression on his face was a bit shocked.

"I don't think the county magistrate is a bad person. When we first met him, he acted very peacefully. Is there really something wrong with him?" Shen Fugui said in confusion.

Shen Nanshan also nodded: "Yes, old lady, are you too sensitive?"

Hearing this, Yao Shu couldn't help but want to laugh: "You said I'm too sensitive?"

"That's not what I meant, I just think you may have reacted too much to this matter." Shen Nanshan said softly with a bit of grievance.

Yao Shu laughed angrily: "In that case, just wait and see. Let's make a bet. If I win, your money will be handed over to me for safekeeping in the future."

Hearing this, Shen Nanshan felt even more aggrieved: "Old lady, this money was originally entrusted to you for safekeeping."

"It seems like this." Yao Shu thought for a moment, then continued, "In that case, your monthly pocket money will be halved in the future."

As soon as these words came out, Shen Nanshan was even more excited: "If I win, my pocket money will be doubled in the future."

"No problem, it's settled."

Seeing the verbal quarrel between the two, Shen Fugui was extremely helpless.

However, he knew that Yao Shu would never comment on others casually, so there must be something wrong with the county magistrate.

After a moment of silence, he couldn't hold back anymore and said softly: "If the county magistrate really has a problem, it will be even more difficult for us to carry out our work in the future."

"Don't worry, maybe things are not as bad as we thought. The current situation is complicated, and we are directly sent by the emperor. If we don't do this well, it will naturally arouse the emperor's anger. It can be said that the gains outweigh the losses. ." Yao Shu said no more.

But the two of them already understood what he meant. If they did not provide disaster relief, they would naturally implicate Ning Yuanhou and even the prime minister.

That night, Yao Shu didn't sleep well.

When she opened her eyes the next day, Shen Nanshan beside her was startled.

"Old lady, did you sneak out last night?"

At this time, the dark circles under her eyes were very serious. If others didn't know, they would have thought that she hadn't slept a wink for days and nights.

Yao Shu waved her hand helplessly: "I was always thinking about disaster relief last night, and I was really a little anxious."

After a brief tidying up, a group of people immediately rushed to continue serving porridge.

At first, everyone maintained the same order as yesterday, but I don’t know when, suddenly a group of people came and started to jump in line.

Then they rushed to the front, holding up the bowls in their hands, asking Yao Shu and others to give them porridge.

Yao Shu was very surprised and immediately asked General Ling to maintain order.

These people came so suddenly that Yao Shu was completely unprepared.

General Ling and others also reacted very quickly and immediately stopped their behavior.
