Come on!Foodie!

The days passed quickly despite the clouds and drizzle.In a blink of an eye, it was the third day of July.Half of the rainy season in the north has passed, and the sun has gradually begun to regain its territory. People's hearts, which have been entangled for nearly two months, finally regained a little calm.At least if the weather continues to be good, the harvest of the crops will not be greatly affected, but it is impossible to be 100% ok.

Just when everyone was about to forget about the flood and the epidemic in the distance, a group of refugees suddenly poured in from outside Haihua County.This caught everyone off guard.

Facing the refugees who were blocked outside the city, half of them were elderly, weak, women and children.Xiao Yang admired them for being able to travel so far across the mountains.And these people did not die halfway because of the long journey, obviously they all took care of each other extremely.Xiaoyang knows that only in the face of a catastrophe can one see great love.Sometimes people who usually seem to care about it can take out their own things to share with others when many lives are at stake, saving people in danger.However, some people who are generally sanctimonious will harm others first for their own self-interest.So looking at these people outside the city gate through the fence, Xiao Yang's mood is complicated.He could understand that the reason for the yamen servants to prohibit the refugees from entering the city was for the safety of the people in the city and the order in the city, but it was obvious that these people could come to Haihua County from Nanjun Province for two months, and they would not be infected with the deadly plague.

The appearance of the victims made the people of Haihua County rekindle their previous worries and fears.All the more people don't think about whether these people are harmful, but directly choose to face those people outside the city with an attitude of resistance.Xiaoyang knew that what people did was understandable, but he really didn't sleep well that night.Their courtyard is only about one meter away from the city wall.In fact, the sound outside was not very loud, but he always felt that he could hear the cries of children, the coughs of old people, and the sighs of women.He also knew that these might be his own demons, but he couldn't control them.So he chatted with Da Zhuang for a long time that night.

Xiaoyang does not have the tolerance and charity of the Virgin Mary, but he has a heart of compassion.He has a fascination and love for money, but he knows that gold is not shiny enough in front of feelings.In modern times, every time he sees the scenes and people in those disaster areas on the news, he feels uncomfortable.Maybe it's because his life has never been smooth, and he knows what it's like to lose a loved one and not have a loved one, so he can empathize with the need for warmth in the face of disasters.So this time when these people in need suddenly appeared in front of him, some negative emotions began to go out of his control.

But they are just a few ordinary farmers, and their biggest height is no more than the owner of a snack shop in the county town.There is very little they can do, and no amount of compassion can do anything.

Mumu also suffered from insomnia that night.It was the first time he experienced such a situation, and seeing those eyes eager to enter the city to get warmth, he felt very blocked.With the words he knows, it is difficult to describe his feelings, but it is the same as Xiaoyang.He couldn't bear to see those people starving and freezing outside, when in fact the warm place was just a few steps away from them.

So they got up early the next day and made a decision to close the business for one day today. Anyway, the victims happened to be congested at their east gate, and it was unlikely that their restaurant next to the gate would have any people to cheer them on.It's better to use this time to put those corn and dried vegetables together to make porridge. They can't control if there are too many, but a meal is a meal.Based on their understanding of the county master here, these refugees will not be left alone.

Sure enough, as they expected, Lord Wang, the magistrate, assigned a group of people to set up a few simple tarpaulin tents outside the city that morning.It seems that there is currently no plan to let these refugees enter the city.But now it's the middle of summer, and there is a tent to keep out the wind and rain, so you don't have to worry about the cold.And when Xiaoyang and the others put the two big porridge pots inside the fence at the gate of the city, Bai Minghua took Wu Feng and a few other guys to put the pots aside.The two parties looked at each other and smiled, and when they turned around, they saw Li Butou's grateful expression.

There is hot porridge and herbs.That's something they didn't think of in the first place.Although these refugees themselves were not infected with the disease, they were also afraid of the disease itself.After all, in other towns, they have also been stopped outside the city several times, although the local government will give them porridge and set up tents.But after checking that they did not have any disease, they were never given medicine to dispel wind and cold.For these people, the current situation is the best it has ever been.If possible, they don't want to go far away, but they don't know when the home will be revealed from the swamp country.Facing the flood, they could escape to high places, but they had to stay away from their hometown when they discovered the epidemic. After all, the rumors heard by the people here were far less shocking and terrifying than what they experienced personally.They don't want to take greater risks to go back, at least until the danger subsides.But the home must be rebuilt.They care more about this than the imperial court.

There is nothing in these refugees.At least when passing through the mountains and forests, they also need to find food and drink in the wild, so pots and bowls are available.Otherwise, if so many people were turned away by cities one after another, it would be impossible for them to survive and walk to Haihua County unharmed.

Bai Minghua sat inside the fence, giving pulses to everyone who came to get porridge and medicine.They will be given a bowl of soup and medicine only after the pulse is taken, and they can go to get the porridge after drinking it.Like Xiao Yang, Bai Minghua knew very well that these people would not suffer from disease if they could come here, but it did not mean that they would not be sick.Those young and middle-aged people are still worse, and the older people are obviously in a much worse condition.Expelling wind and cold is necessary for everyone, but other diseases need to be treated a little bit.But fortunately, the problem is not too big. In the first few days, the imperial court issued an order. After the provinces and counties that rescued the disaster reported the number of people, the imperial court will allocate a special bank.And their Lord Wang is definitely a good official, so these people who fled to Haihua County are destined not to worry about eating and drinking.Not allowing people to enter the city is actually only temporary.For the sake of the people in the city, the government must think of a proper way to deal with the fate of these refugees.And most of these people will definitely be sent back to South County.The reconstruction there also needs the blood there.

Xiaoyang was serving porridge for people, while counting the number of people at the door.Until the last person took the porridge away, there were 47 people in total.In fact, it’s not much to say. Xiaoyang remembered that there were only 73 students in his class in junior high school.There are only about forty people here, so it shouldn't be difficult to arrange.And judging from the appearance of this group of people, they should all be from the same village, and those who came to receive the porridge first were the old and weak women and children, which made him have to lament the "organizational discipline" of these people.

Just when Xiao Yanggang was about to clean up the two big pots that had bottomed out, a boy who looked about six or seven years old came to the fence holding two bowls.Looking at Xiaoyang, he asked, "Is there any more porridge?"

The child's voice is very clear. He speaks official Chinese, which is completely different from the accent of some old people.Looking at the child's appearance again, apart from being muddy and dilapidated, a pair of big eyes reveals such a strange look.It just seemed expressionless. "Little boy, you just received the porridge, aren't you full?" Scratching the bottom of the pot is not enough for one bowl, but it is not suitable for children to eat, and the other child took two bowls, obviously one bowl is not enough.

Wazi said: "The younger brothers are full, but grandma hasn't eaten yet."

Xiao Yang frowned, turned to Zhao Liang and said, "Go back to the store and get two buns and bring them here quickly. Let Uncle Quan cook some porridge with rice." When Zhao Liang turned around and ran back to the store, Xiao Yang said to the child He said, "Look, the porridge in these two pots is gone, and I have sent someone back to make it. It will be fine in a while."

Zhu Hai saw that the child nodded obediently, then squatted by the fence, looking eagerly in the direction of his store door, his heart suddenly softened.After discussing with the guard at the gate, he came to the wife's side and reached out to the child: "Boy, can you come in and have dinner with your uncle?"

The child was obviously taken aback, but then shook his head: "My brothers and grandma are outside."

Xiao Yang glanced at Zhu Hai, and probably understood what he meant.So he also knelt down and asked, "Then besides my brother and grandma, who else is there in your family?"

After Xiaowazi heard it, tears flowed from his eyes immediately, but luckily he didn't cry. "Father and mother, save us, and grandma. We didn't come out at home."

The people around him let out a long sigh after hearing this.Catcher Li also came up to him and asked the child, "Do you have any other relatives in your family?"

Xiaowazi shook his head: "Only grandma, grandma and younger brothers."

Xiao Yang reached over the fence and wiped away the tears on the child's face: "Can you tell Uncle, how old are you and your brothers?"

The child was surprised by Xiaoyang's action of wiping his tears.I have traveled so far and entered so many counties.No one in the city would touch them who had fled.They are all worried that these people are sick.Although he was young, he could remember everything he experienced clearly.This uncle... still looks a lot like my elder brother, he should be the good guy my father said! "I am six years old this year, my eldest brother is four years old, and my second brother is two years old."

Xiao Yang suddenly became restless.It is not a miracle that such a young child can escape from Nanjun to their Haihua County with the refugees.So he immediately stood up and discussed with Catcher Li: "Brother Li, can I bring these three children and their grandma in? His two younger brothers are too young."

Catcher Li was a little embarrassed, but Zhu Hai and Bai Minghua who couldn't stand beside him also begged.He simply nodded.After all, after Bai Minghua's diagnosis, none of these people had any disease in their bodies. At most, they had a slight cold, and it didn't matter if they came in.Sooner or later, you will go to the city.

He was worried that there would still be some, so Zhu Hai didn't let Xiao Yang follow him out of the city, but walked out of the fence with Bai Minghua and Zhao Liang.Then let the child lead and ran to one of the tents.

As for the four people, old and young, who were picked up by the people in the city, several refugees came to stop them.They were very worried that the three people who came to pick them up would sell the three children.This kind of thing happened to them several times in the past two months.Several children in the team and women who lost their families were all abducted by Ren Yazi.For people like them, there are fewer and fewer people in this situation, and the rest are spiritual pillars.They took three children and a woman whose health was getting worse and worse. How could it be just to be abducted by others!You must know that these three children are the sons of the only teacher in the village.

In the end, after Bai Minghua gave the children's grandma the pulse, he said that if he didn't get medical treatment in time, he might not be able to survive this winter.The villagers let them go.After all, there is still very little resistance to the person who gave them porridge and medicine just now.

Zhao Liang carried the children's grandmother on his back.It felt like I hadn't carried anything on my back. In his words, it was not as heavy as a bag of corn.Bai Minghua picked up the two-year-old child, and Zhu Hai picked up the other child.Then he led the six-year-old child into the city.

Entering the small courtyard of Muyang Restaurant, the first thing Bai Minghua did after putting down the child was to tell Zhao Liang to go to their pharmacy to get medicine.Then fry it and give it to the woman to drink.As for the three little babies, the problem is not big, but they are lack of nutrition, just make up for it slowly.

Xiaoyang followed and ran out to inquire about the woman's condition, and Bai Minghua replied honestly: "She can persist here because of her three grandchildren. She has evil winds in her bones, and if she doesn't get treatment, she really won't be able to delay this winter. Drinking medicine and food supplements will also leave the root of the disease, but it can still live for a few more years. Xiaoyang, you and Zhu Hai want to adopt these three children and their grandma?"

Xiao Yang rubbed his nose: "It's hard to say. Even if I want to support them, I may not agree. But it's okay to take them in temporarily. If they want to leave, I can't stop them."

Bai Minghua smiled: "In two days, you can find a chance to talk to that woman. The parents of the three children are no longer there, and the woman can't travel long distances back to Nanjun with her body. Is it okay to stay here with you?" Their best choice. Didn't you envy Wang Lin for being sensible and obedient? I don't think the three kids are any different."

Xiao Yang sighed: "It's true that he is sensible." But apart from the occasional surprise when his eyes widened, the rest even shed tears when he was sad, the six-year-old child was expressionless.Shouldn't such an older child cry and seek help when encountering such a big disaster?Why is he paralyzed?
