General Essence Sticky Essence

After about two more sticks of incense, there was no sign of bean-sized raindrops falling from the sky. The raindrops became denser and denser, and soon became a torrential downpour.

Right now, he is on an official road with no one around, surrounded by forests, and there is no place to hide.Even wearing a poncho, I'm afraid I can't walk in such an environment overnight.

He Yun lowered his head and saw that the man's shoulder started to overflow with blood again. He felt bad. If this continues to cause inflammation, this arm may be useless.

In desperation, he had no choice but to take off his rain cape and put it on the man, and asked, "You guys are familiar with this place, is there any place to hide from the rain near here?"

The man looked up at He Yun, then glanced at the poncho on his body, as if he felt a little awkward: "If you don't put it on yourself, what will you do for me?"

He Yun smiled: "You forgot that I caused your injury, stop talking nonsense, is there a place to shelter from the rain?"

"...A mile or so further on, there is a ruined temple, which is the hiding place of our brothers for the past few days."

"How big is it?"

"If every corner is full of people, I guess it can accommodate them."

"I've lived in the north for a long time, so I don't know much about the climate in the south. How long does it usually stop raining?"

"It can't be stopped. It was the time of the disaster. The violent storm has not slowed down for several days. Many people in the city have been sent to drain the water, and the water is still up to the knees. Commander Wei is strengthening the dam along the coast. Otherwise, when the storm surges, all suffer."

"In this way, the gold and silver are useless now. What is the general situation in the city? Tell me carefully later."

While speaking, he had already arrived in front of the ruined temple. Looking at the terrible weather, he had to wait until daytime to walk, otherwise even if the rain stopped, he would not be able to light the torch, and walking in the dark might cause accidents.He Yun first commanded the soldiers to park all one hundred carts of supplies neatly at the gate of the temple, and he himself pulled the man to sit on the threshold, checking the supplies while learning about the situation.

Hundreds of people were crowded in a ruined temple, and the humidity inside was so high that it really didn't feel good.

He Yun took off his coat and hung it aside, and asked: "There are nearly a hundred of you here, I think they are all men, where are your wives and children?"

The man had a sad expression on his face: "Wife and children can only stay in the city, we can't ask them to come and eat and sleep in the open, and do these dirty things. I will tell you, my lord, that our brothers are ordinary people. He is very responsible. On weekdays, he, Zhu Hong, collects money from the people, so we just swallow it. Which official doesn’t want to collect some of the people’s fat and anointing. But this time it’s different. Some of our houses were flooded during the storm. Some were overturned, the farmland was completely damaged by the rain, and some people were washed away by the flood and died. The people were displaced, crying and crying, hoping that their parents could use some strength, Help us, but we just don’t know where all the taxes we pay on weekdays go, the government doesn’t build shelters, and they can’t even give us food, if we don’t rob them, how can we survive?”

He Yun frowned tightly: "Not even a shelter?"

"I built one a few days ago, but it was also washed away by the heavy rain. Zhu Hong was originally there to cope with the task. The terrain of the shelter is lower than my house, so what else can I do if I don't wash it! My son was almost washed away , fortunately I got him back quickly." The man was on the verge of crying as he spoke, and he covered his face and couldn't continue.

But the more He Yun listened, the angrier he became.According to the current situation in the southeast, the people should first be evacuated to places not affected by the disaster or less severely affected, and several shelters should be built to provide some food.After the disaster situation is alleviated, the disaster-affected areas will be planned and managed.

Commander Wei Da is now busy on the front line with flood control and disaster relief, so he has given full power to the magistrate. He did not expect him to be so irresponsible, leaving these poor people alone.

"It's not good for Master Zhu to do this. If the disaster is over, there's no guarantee he won't be punished."

"Hmph, he has done his best to save face. If the court asks about it and only says that the disaster is too serious, what responsibility can he ask? Besides, Zhu Hong still has a backer in Beijing, what is he afraid of?"

He Yun was silent for a moment, and said, "Which places are less affected by the disaster?"

"Naturally, it is a place farther from the sea. Many people are evacuating to the southwest or north, and the coastal areas cannot stay any longer."

"Is the magistrate's mansion okay?"

"Fortunately, Zhu Hong's mansion is made of real bricks and tiles, and the water flows smoothly. The houses of ordinary people are naturally incomparable."

"Okay, tomorrow we will go to the mansion of the magistrate first."

When it was just dawn, a group of people set off.The road was still full of violent wind and rain, and the further south it got, the worse it became.However, the stagnant water under the feet did not appear to be very deep. It seemed that the frontline disaster relief had played a role.

Along the way, he met many refugees fleeing with large and small bags on their backs. Every time he saw one more, He Yun's heart sank a little.If it wasn't for the heavy rain that made it impossible to open the box, He Yun would have given them the food on the way.

I had no choice but to speed up my journey as much as possible, and it was already evening when I arrived in the city.Hungry and muddy, General He led [-] soldiers and more than [-] extra people on the road to the prefect's yamen, with the expression on his face as if he was here to collect debts.

Soon, the magistrate Mr. Zhu came out to greet him in a clean official uniform.When he saw that there were more than a hundred ordinary people not wearing armor in this group of people, Master Zhu was obviously stunned for a moment, then he recovered his smile, bowed to He Yun, and invited them in.

He Yun said with a stinky face: "Master Zhifu's mansion looks very big, it must be more than enough to accommodate hundreds of brothers like me." Without asking Zhu Hong's opinion, he turned around and said to the people behind, "Everyone come in together. "

Master Zhu, the magistrate, was of course unhappy, not to mention that these were untouchables in the traditional sense, and he was definitely unwilling to let them step into the mansion even with their dirty appearance.

But the general said so, he dared not disobey.

Zhu Hong followed He Yun, and said with a smile: "The general has been exhausted all the way, should you take a hot bath first to relieve fatigue?"

He Yun glanced at him: "The general and the common people are all unkempt, the magistrate has worked hard to provide relief, even the clothes are not dirty."

Zhu Hong smiled a little embarrassedly: "The lower official was afraid of being rude, so he specially changed into a decent outfit and came to greet him, which made the general laugh."

He Yun scolded his mother in his heart, snorted on his face, and said with thorns in his words: "There is nothing to laugh at, I just want to praise that the magistrate is out of the mud and not stained."

Zhu Hong didn't think that the little general would cause trouble for him as soon as he arrived, so he had to laugh twice and stopped talking.

He Yun continued: "How many disasters has the magistrate relieved in the past few days? How did you relieve the disaster? How much was the court's payment to the southeast, and how much is left? The account book with detailed expenditures..." He stared straight at The magistrate emphasized his tone, "I want to take a look."

Zhu Hong naturally felt that He Yun's intentions were not good, and he hurriedly said: "Now the people are waiting for the supplies from the court. The general will see if the gold, silver and food are distributed first, and then it will not be too late to understand the rest."

How could He Yun not know that he was delaying time, but of course the disaster victims are more important at this moment.

"There are more than [-] victims of disasters here. I would like to ask Mr. Zhu to let them stay in the mansion. If more and more victims of disasters come over in a while, please don't turn them away. Your Excellency does not want to spend money to build refugee shelters, presumably because If you are willing to donate your mansion, the common people really have to thank you very much."

Zhu Hong agreed with what he should do, and the expression on his face was a little exciting.

"This mansion is so big, there must be a lot of food, the refugees haven't eaten for a long time, adults should pay more attention. This general will take the supplies elsewhere first."

After He Yun finished speaking, he turned his head and patted the man who was injured by his arrow, and asked, "I haven't asked you yet, what's your name?"

The man was already stunned when he found out that this young man was General He, and hurriedly said: "The villain's name is Xue Ping."

He Yun said: "You have to run with me, I'm not familiar with this place, you guide me."

Xue Ping nodded again and again, He Yun smiled and said: "You first bandage your wound well, put on the rain cape, and I will assign tasks and wait for you outside the door."

There are a total of six jurisdictions in the southeast, one of which is the closest to the sea and the worst hit.He Yun ordered the soldiers under his command to divide into six groups, each of them transported ten carts of grain to the other five jurisdictions first, and took Xue Ping to the seaside by himself.

Twenty miles away from the coastline, it was indeed surrounded by layers of Red Armored Army, and no one was allowed to enter.From a distance, He Yun saw several women kneeling together, crying and shouting, but the guard Chi Jia had no choice but to turn a blind eye.As He Yun approached, he learned something from the hoarse shouts of these women.

In some cases, the husband went fishing and disappeared a few days ago; in some cases, the family members were working hard on the farm, and the flood washed the farmland and washed away the people.In short, there was no news from her husband, and the orphans and widows in the family had no place to live and no food to eat. They were almost unable to survive, crying and shouting to rush in to find their own man.

The wind was blowing violently here, He Yun stepped in front of a red-armored soldier, immediately the rain poured into his knee-high rain boots, before he had time to think about it, He Yun asked, "Don't you care about these people? "

The little soldier took a look at He Yun, and saw that his whole body was unbearably wet, and his hair was beaten into strands by the water. Feeling the little soldier's gaze, He Yun simply stretched out his hand and pulled all his hair into the helmet. press.The rain boots were full of mud, and the sleeves were also full of mud. My eyes were blinded by the wind and rain, and I couldn't open them.All in all, very embarrassing.

Seeing that He Yun was wearing black armor, the little soldier asked excitedly, "Are you a soldier sent by Jinyang? Have the supplies arrived!"

He Yun nodded, and said: "I am He Yun. How long have these people been kneeling here? If they are allowed to stay here, sooner or later, people will die."

The little soldier heard He Yun's name but didn't react for a while, and continued: "We have nothing to do. They don't have a husband, and they won't let them go back to the city. They say they won't be able to survive if they go back to the city. Now everywhere Chaos, we sent away a batch, and there will be another batch of desperate ones rushing here, so we have to ignore it."

The author has something to say:
