The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

Dongfang Shuo said: "As far as I know, the relief grain from Shengjing City will arrive in Qingyang City soon. We only need to wait for two more days and the problem will be solved."

Liu Xun took a deep breath and was no longer so angry. As long as the relief food arrived, the current problems would be alleviated.

Liu Xun asked again: "Regarding Lord Xie's proposal of using work instead of relief, when will Your Highness implement it? The Emperor approves of Lord Xie's approach!"

Dongfang Shuo said: "Now that food is scarce, how can we use work for relief? Let the victims work, but they have no food to eat? What they should do now is to rest, conserve their energy, and wait for the relief food to arrive. Then we can talk about work for relief."

Liu Xun was very unconvinced. If Dongfang Shuo had not said before that everyone should eat only 70% full, the situation would not have deteriorated to this extent.

But the happiness on the soldiers' faces and the satisfaction of the victims at that time were so real and lingering in his mind that Liu Xun no longer blamed Dongfang Shuo for anything.

Moreover, he couldn't think of a better way at the moment, so he could only wait patiently.

But when he turned around, he saw the extravagant meal on the table again, and Liu Xun couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, you are here to provide relief to the victims. I know you are of noble status. Not to mention asking you to eat and live with the soldiers, but if you save a little, the soldiers can also eat a little better."

Yu Liang wanted to get mad, but was stopped by Dongfang Shuo: "Lord Liu is right. From tonight on, I will eat with the soldiers. But today's meal cannot be wasted. Lord Liu, would you like to join us?"

Seeing that he was easy to talk to, Liu Xun thought that he was just unable to let go of his noble status. In fact, he still listened to the advice, and his anger subsided a lot.

He said, "No need, I can eat with the soldiers."

Dongfang Shuo did not force him, but from that evening on, when it was time for dinner, Dongfang Shuo really went out to eat and drink with the soldiers.

Of course, it was just a bowl of rice soup with some wild vegetables. The soldiers were very moved when they saw it.

But no one knew that he would secretly add a snack to himself late at night.

However, he did not eat more often, only once every two days, so that he would not suffer too much. He also looked a little thin, so as to show his dedication and hardship in providing disaster relief to the people.

Large groups of disaster victims sat on the ground, surrounded by broken walls and endless ruins, their homes destroyed by the earthquake.

Countless people groaned in pain, countless people were silent because of the death of their loved ones, countless people fell to the ground due to hunger, and countless more people began to get sick, have fever, become drowsy and unconscious after the earthquake.

A child nestled in his mother's arms, his face gray, and said sadly and bitterly, "Mom, I'm hungry."

The mother stroked the child's head and said gently but firmly, "Food will come, just wait a little longer."

The child fell into a deep sleep. His mother put him on the ruins and began to look for food. She searched among the dilapidated walls, among the dead bodies, and in places with grass and trees.

There are many people searching, and there are always people who get hurt and bruised, but it does not mean that there will be gains after shedding blood and tears. Most people always return empty-handed.

There was a little girl who broke off half a piece of cake from the dead man's hand, and immediately ran back to her sister and stuffed the cake into her sister's mouth.

"Sister, I found some food, come and eat! Open your mouth and eat, sister will feed you!"

My sister never opened her mouth. She sat against the wall, her cheeks had turned blue-gray, her eyes were closed, and her body was stiff.

"You said you were hungry, so I found some food for you. Wake up and eat, eat quickly." The little girl kept stuffing the cake into her sister's mouth. The cake crumbs covered her sister's mouth, but the sister didn't wake up to eat a bite.

"Don't go look for Dad and Mom. I can find food for you. I can..." She hugged her sister in her arms, tightly, tears rolling out, leaving two obvious marks on her stained cheeks.

This is not an isolated case.

And as time goes by, more and more.

Covered by dark clouds and drizzling autumn rain, Qingyang City seemed like hell on earth.

Unfortunately, in such a hell, there are still people who throw away rotten fish and meat, quietly and excitedly waiting for the day when food will be completely scarce.

……

In Shengjing City, in the study of Xie Mansion, Xie Lin, dressed in a dark green brocade robe, sat in a large carved chair, writing something on a piece of paper with ink.

On his left hand was a piece of letter, which he had received on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. He had read this letter countless times, and the paper was covered with traces of being rubbed.

It was this letter that stopped him from going to Qingyang City in person to look for Chu Heyi.

Now he sat down to write, also based on the contents of this letter.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew outside the window, blowing his hair and sleeves, and making the ink on the inkstone ripple. But he was still concentrating on his writing, not looking up at all, just concentrating on writing what he wanted to write.

Wangshan came in from outside with a man: "Sir, there is news from Qingyang City, it's an emergency."

Xie Lin didn't look up and continued to write. The wind outside the door and window became stronger. It was only afternoon, but the sky and the earth suddenly changed color, as if a heavy rain was coming.

Wangshan did not dare to disturb them and went to close the doors and windows. The strong wind then blew against the doors and windows, making clanging sounds, as if a wild ghost was knocking on the door.

The study became temporarily quiet, as if it were a small boat on huge waves. Despite strong winds and rough waves, it was extremely stable, providing a temporarily peaceful place for people to rest.

Finally, Xie Lin finished writing. He put away his pen, stood up, and looked at Wangshan first: "Go and arrange the carriage and dry food."

"Sir, are you going out? It's windy outside and there might be a heavy rain coming. It's dangerous to go out now!" Wangshan tried to persuade him.

"Go!" Xie Lin gave an order and looked at the spy: "Is Miss Heyi in trouble?"

Under his extremely calm tone, no one could notice that his heart seemed to be tightened, tightened, and tightened again by an invisible hand...

The spy said: "My subordinates went to Qingyang City, but they couldn't find the girl they liked. It was hard to get news about her. I heard that she moved more than 20 local orphans to flat land before the earthquake, saving many lives.

"But there were seven or eight orphans hiding somewhere else. She went to move them, and then there was an aftershock, and she and the seven or eight orphans were crushed into the ground..."
