The morning dew dripped against the rising red sun, and I slept peacefully all night.Pu Yuan unexpectedly got up late today, he would leave the Zongyuan before dawn in the past, but at this moment, he still has some lingering dreams.

The loyal servant waited outside the door with water in his hand, waiting in doubt. It took half an hour before he heard the Zongzhang let him in.

A strong fragrance rushed to the face, showing how warm and soft the night was.Liu Songzi rubbed the tip of his itchy and hot nose, not daring to look at it, not daring to look around.

After putting away all the utensils for the Zongzhang to wash, he lowered his head and waited for the Zongzhang to wash up before taking small hurried steps and leaving with water.

He walked in a hurry and almost bumped into Guanshi Li who was walking towards him.

The steward has a serious face: "You don't look like a servant, you have hands and feet."

Liu Songzi sighed, took a step and then turned around: "Steward, I advise you to wait a quarter of an hour before going in."

Li Guanshi: "Why."

Liu Songzi muttered: "It's very fragrant inside. I'm not thinking of you, I'm worried that your mature body won't be able to withstand it."

Li Guanshi's eyelids twitched: "..."

Liu Songzi said seriously: "If you don't believe me, go in immediately."

After the servant finished speaking, he slipped away. Guanshi Li walked outside, knocked on the door, and waited for a while before entering.

There was a faint musk-like smell in the room. Standing by the window, Pu Yuan saw Guanshi Li coming in and handed him two notes. Guanshi Li took the notes and left.

The autumn day that broke through the branches faded away from the coldness of the morning and warmed up bit by bit.Xiaoxia followed the Zong Zhang with sleepy eyes, and was about to set off after breakfast, heading north to Haiti.

Haiti in the north is the most remote place in the territory of the Quli people, and it takes at least two hours to go there by horse-drawn carriage.

Liu Songzi supported Xiaoying to get into the carriage, the shark and the chieftain looked at each other, the carriage shook slightly, and Liu Songzi said from outside the carriage: "Sir, sit still, we're leaving."

The space in the carriage was enough for two people to sit opposite each other, but Xiao Jiao wanted to squeeze towards the seat next to Pu Yuan, he looked up and down, his head was almost on Pu Yuan's chest.

Pu Yuan pulled his shoulders back slightly: "What are you looking for?"

Xiaoxia asked: "Have you brought the medicine pouch I made?"

Pu Yuan took out a poorly crafted medicine bag from his clothes, Xiaosha reached out to touch it, felt the medicine bag kept the other person's body temperature, couldn't help but slightly raised the corners of his lips, found a place to lie down and played by himself.

The two-hour journey was boring, Xiaoyu leaned against the carriage and fell asleep, Puyuan reached out to support Yuren a few times on the way, and finally sat on his side to block him, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

After entering Haiti in the north, the speed of the carriage slowed down. The driver held the reins and carefully walked around the crowded crowd. Liu Songzi yelled "Let's go, let's go!", but he saw people coming to surround the carriage There are more and more people. These people are ragged, their faces are covered with dust, and they are skinny. They look like disaster victims.

Sure enough, the crowd standing in front of the carriage surrounded the carriage and knelt down, begging them for alms of food and water, and the carriage could not move an inch.

Liu Songzi said: "Master Zong, something happened outside."

Pu Yuan lifted the curtain of the car, his dark eyes looked at the black heads crawling outside the car, and his long eyebrows frowned slightly.

A few days ago, I received a secret document from the village head of Beidi to Zongyuan. There was a drought in the north this year, and many victims went south. Haiti in the north has gradually approached some victims in recent days. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, they went to There are so many victims here.

Xiaoyu was awakened by the movement outside the car, poked his head out and looked out from behind Pu Yuan's shoulder, the dense crowd of heads made the shark exclaim: "There are so many people..."

Pu Yuan ordered Liu Songzi and the coachman to send out all the food and water that could be distributed in the car. The victims who had been favored kowtowed again, shouting in their mouths that the gods would help the world. Tears while gobbling.

Liu Songzi once again used his loud voice to tell everyone not to be crowded. The front was surrounded by the victims, and the carriage could not be driven in.

Pu Yuan glanced at Shark: "Get out of the car and walk."

Seeing Zongzhang get out of the car, Xiaoxie followed him, and was about to jump down when the other party's palm was stretched out in front of him.

The eyes of each other touched slightly, Xiaoyu naturally smiled and held the hand of the Zongzhang and got out of the carriage steadily, he walked not as fast as the other, Pu Yuan slowed down a little.

The people under the car looked at them one after another, their eyes full of amazement and awe, and they didn't dare to stop them.Xiaoying let the head of the clan lead the sleeves to go forward, the victims in the front heard that someone was distributing food, the old dragged the young ones and ran all the way in the crowd, someone tripped Xiaoying's foot, Pu Yuan cut off his sleeve Steady.

Xiao Shar turned around, and the person who tripped him was a child with a head like a carrot, and his body was too thin, which made his head so big. A pair of black eyes contained a little fright, and he looked at Xiao Shar for a while. speak out.

Xiaoying and the child met eyes, seeing that the child seemed to be afraid of him, he pursed his lips and smiled, took out the candied haws that Liu Songzi brought for him, peeled off the paper clothes, went to the child and handed it to him.

The child hesitated, then passed the ruddy and shiny candied haws forward again, and took the candy stick with two thin black hands.

"Many, thank you God..."

As soon as the words fell, the child bit a big red candied haws and chewed it. While chewing, the other hand rubbed his wet eyes, rubbing himself into a black face.

The old man who went to beg for food found that the child hadn't followed him, so he went back against the crowd to find someone. The child turned around and yelled. He ate two candied haws by himself, and handed all the rest to the old man.

The old man pulled the child up and knelt down: "Thank you benefactor, thank you benefactor..."

Pu Yuan asked them to get up, and took Xiao Jiao by the shoulders and walked towards the gate of the village.

Xiao Shar turned around and vaguely saw the old man feeding the candied haws to the child, one bite at a time, and after eating four, he continued to carefully wrap the candied haws in sugar paper and put them in his clothes.

Xiaoyu was puzzled: "Why." There are many yellow and thin people beside him, they are different from the people he saw in the Zongyuan, and some are lying on the side of the road and have not moved, whether they are dead or alive. I don't know.

He lightly tugged on Pu Yuan's clothes: "Ah Yuan, why?"

Pu Yuan said: "There has been a drought in the north, and it has been half a year since I heard about it. Many farmers have no harvest, and their tax revenue has not been reduced. They can only escape all the way south."

Xiaoying looked at the sky: "Isn't it raining?"

He pointed to the people lying down on the side of the road: "What happened to them?"

Pu Yuan: "Maybe he's dead."

Xiaosha: "Dead?"

"What is death?"

Pu Yuan: "All things grow, and fallen leaves return to their roots."

The two walked outside the entrance of the village, and the village head led his people to greet them.

The village chief, who was over fifty, bowed and said straight to the point: "Master Zong, the village is short of food and can no longer accept victims from outside."

Pu Yuan stepped into the village, looked at the people who were leaning against the walls on both sides of the intersection, and asked, "How many people are being helped in the village now?"

The village head replied truthfully: "According to the order of the head of the clan, as of today, there are 240 three people in the village who have been affected by disasters from outside. In each household, there is more than one young adult in the family."

Pu Yuan flipped through the population transaction book in his hand: "Each household will leave them food and water for three days, and let the village medical center give free medicine and treatment. If someone is willing to stay, they will be resettled. If they don't want to stay, they will be sent Give them food and water for three days and let them leave the village."

After a pause, he said again: "Take people to patrol outside the village every day. If any victims' remains are left behind, all of them will be dealt with in a unified manner. Prepare for the prevention of plague and epidemics. Don't neglect it."

Every natural disaster will bring large and small epidemics afterwards. If the epidemic prevention is neglected and a highly contagious disease is encountered, it will pose a great threat or even destroy the entire village.

Pu Yuan still needs to visit a lot of places, he looked at the merman who had been clutching the hem of his clothes, and ordered Liu Songzi who followed him to take him to find a place to rest.

Xiaosha clenched his shirt tightly: "Can't I go?"

Pu Yuan said: "Although there are horses, the mountain road in the village is rugged, and you often have to walk, so it's inconvenient for you to follow."

Xiaojiao wanted to say more, but his eyes were sucked in by Zong Zhang's bottomless eyes.

He nodded, and didn't ask Liu Songzi until Pu Yuan rode away on the horse sent by Murakami, "When will Ah Yuan come back?"

Liu Songzi sighed, "Maybe in the evening."

After evening, there was no sign of Pu Yuan.

Xiaoying and Liu Songzi were sitting in a teahouse, the sun was getting colder after sunset, Liu Songzi went to ask for hot tea and snacks, Xiaoying took a sip of the tea and served it with a piece of soft and glutinous sweet cake, his eyes were suddenly caught by the building. Attracted by a child squatting in the corner, the man stared at him and swallowed continuously.

Xiaojiao asked: "Are there many people here who can't eat?"

Liu Songzi sighed: "There are too many victims. Even if they are willing, they don't have much food left over for them. On the road outside the village gate, more than [-] people died of starvation and disease. The youngest is a baby lying in swaddling clothes. If the officials and lords in the county don't save us, what can we do?"

Xiaoyu pushed the stack of snacks in front of him: "Give it to him."

The child who received the whole stack of snacks wrapped himself in cloth clothes, knelt down and kowtowed three times to Xiaosha upstairs, and immediately ran away on a pair of straw sandals.

With a thought in his mind, Xiaoying led Liu Songzi to follow.

In front of an old temple that accommodates refugees, Xiao Jiao looked at the child who had accepted his snacks, and distributed the snacks in his pocket to several old people lying inside one by one, but he didn't eat a single bite.He watched silently for a moment, then turned and left.

Xiaoya asked: "Are there many people like this?"

Liu Songzi nodded: "Too many."

Xiaosha was silent, her eyes peacefully looking at the gradually covering night.He wrapped his clothes tightly, and Liu Songzi immediately unfolded his cloak and fastened it for him: "Go back to the teahouse and sit down, maybe the Zongzhang will arrive soon."

At three o'clock in Haishi, the wind-shielding curtain of the teahouse was lifted, and Xiaoyu propped his chin listlessly. When he saw the figure coming in from the corner of his eye, he approached him.

Frost and dust fell on Pu Yuan's clothes, and his bun was somewhat damp.He shook off his coat to catch a glimpse of the merman's unblinking eyes, and said, "What's the matter."

Xiaosha shook his head.

Pu Yuan said: "There is an inn behind the teahouse, stay overnight."

The village chief ordered the guest room to be set up in the inn. Xiao Jiao saw the light and silent look of tiredness between Pu Yuan's brows, and went upstairs to take a bath after eating a few mouthfuls.

The hour is approaching, even though Zong Zhang closed his clothes and closed his eyes, Xiao Yu could sense that the other party hadn't fallen asleep.

He slipped from the side bed to lie down next to Pu Yuan: "A Yuan, are you asleep yet?"

Pu Yuan opened his eyes, and they met each other in the dark night.

Xiaosha said: "You can't sleep."

Pu Yuan whispered: "Let's rest."

Xiao Jiao pointed at Pu Yuan's eyelids, and the breath of her lips and teeth was sweet and fragrant when she spoke.

"A Yuan, you hug me to sleep, it's a good sleep."

"Hold me to sleep, really."

Xiaoying waited with staring eyes for about a cup of tea, and then gradually took an arm behind him.

The breath of the two got closer.
