[Red Mansion + Xiuxian] Perfect match

Chapter 24 Dry Land Refugees

Lin Hai didn't agree with the twins to go to Jiangxi at first, but now the drought in the northwest has become a disaster known to the whole country. It has been nearly three months without a drop of rain, the fields are dry, and the villages are withered. Next, they smashed five Dragon King Temples and Earth Temples.

It was also heard that many wealthy households and government officials were robbed and suffered heavy casualties. Even though they were severely punished, the situation did not improve. The people in Jiangxi are already tough, and now the people can't even afford enough food and clothing. , where there is any morality at all.

In this way, even to save his first wife, Lin Hai did not dare to let the twins go out, until Master Qingyang promised to personally escort him, Lin Hai reluctantly agreed.

Unfortunately, they only went out for one day, and the Jia family had already arrived, and the one sent was Jia Lian, the eldest son of Jia He, the first-class general in the Rongguo Mansion. He valued the Lin family.

But Jia Lian didn't expect that his purpose was to take over the three children under his aunt Jia Min's knees, but now Daiyu is the only one left in Lin's house, so how can he explain to the old lady when he returns home.Not only that, he didn't even see his aunt's face, and after meeting Lin Hai lukewarmly, he was sent to live in a courtyard, in case he didn't mention sending someone to Jia's mansion matter.

Although Jia Lian's family has never been powerful in Rongguo's mansion, he is more or less a master. When he received such cold treatment, he replied angrily to Jia's mother, reporting his experience and Lin's affairs one by one. As for how Jia's family reacted, Lin Hai didn't care about that at all.

But Azhu and Bizhi had toiled all the way, took a boat and a horse-drawn carriage, and it took about a month before they finally arrived in Jiangxi, because the horses and carriages they took were from wealthy families. There were many robbers and robbers on the road, fortunately there was Daoist Qing Yang protecting him, and finally arrived safely.

Their destination was Lin'an County, which Lin Rong had explored a long time ago. There used to be a river here, named the County River. There is a Dragon King Temple on the bank, which was full of fireworks in previous years, but now only the beams are left after being destroyed by the victims.

Lin'an County was originally a small county, but this is the area with the worst disaster in Jiangxi. Today, the government attaches great importance to the disaster situation, specially allocated food funds, and ordered local officials to help the victims here. Therefore, there are many places in Lin'an County They are all giving porridge and food.

At this time, many refugees had gathered in Lin'an County, and the kind of simple huts built with thatch and dead trees can be seen everywhere.

Azhu raised the curtain on the carriage and took a few peeks, only to see that the roadside was full of refugees who were so thirsty that they were about to faint, and there were even many starving corpses. It made the air constantly emit a rancid and disgusting smell.

Ah Zhu hurriedly held her breath, and quietly channeled her spiritual power, a gust of wind instantly blew up in the carriage, dissipating the smell.

Liu Niang and Huan Bi who were beside them both looked at each other in amazement, and they couldn't figure out why the wind was blowing in the airtight compartment.

Seeing Azhu's calm face, Huanbi thought that she was frightened by the kidnapping of refugees just now, so she comforted her, "Don't worry, girl, with Daoist Qingyang here, everything will be fine."

Liu Niang was shy and didn't like to talk, but she reached out to hold Ah Zhu's palm as a comfort.

"I'm fine." Azhu shook her head and said, "At first I just thought that although the drought in Lin'an County is severe, but the emperor has allocated a lot of food funds, it can be done in case of emergency, and we are on the way I have seen that there are soup kitchens in many places, but the disaster here is so serious, it really should not be!"

Huanbi felt a little funny when she saw a three-year-old girl seriously dealing with important matters related to people's livelihood, but when she thought of her girl's intelligent temperament, she quickly suppressed her laughter and put on a serious look like her.

The carriage stopped suddenly, and Huan Bi was about to ask questions when he heard Lin Rong's voice from outside the window, "Second Miss, the place has arrived, please get out of the car."

Huanbi quickly agreed, and then changed Azhu into a suit of clothes, like a little boy with a thick head and a thick head.After getting out of the car, when Ahzhu and Bizhi were standing together, everyone realized that the two looked almost identical, should they really be twins born from the same mother.

The two stared at each other for a while, and then Bizhi poked Azhu's cheek curiously, "Why are you wearing my clothes... Ah! Are you a dog!!!"

Azhu spit out Bizhi's finger with a look of disgust, but saw a circle of clear tooth marks left on the white and tender finger pulp, and immediately laughed heartily, "Stinky boy, don't forget that I am older than you, from now on, Call me brother!"

The two were fighting and fighting, and before they knew it, a group of refugees had gathered around them, about a hundred of them, all of them were ashen and skinny, only the eyes staring at them were staring at them like hungry wolves. In light, it looks terrifying.

Lin Hai had expected this kind of situation a long time ago, so there were not many female dependents in Azhu's group, except for Azhu, a three-year-old child, there were only Liuniang and Huanbi, and the others except Bizhi and Qingyang Zhenren , they are all male servants and guards, there are about 20 people in total.

A Zhu just kept a straight face, and didn't react much, only Liu Niang and Huan Bi showed fearful expressions, and they frightened the master, so they held back and didn't dare to make a sound.

I saw the guards surrounded the master and the female relatives, drew out their long knives and confronted these refugees. Although Lin Rong was only a half-grown guy, he was alert, and he was determined to take care of him because of his father Lin Quan's every order. Good master, even if you are afraid in your heart, you can show your aura, and yell at these refugees, "Bold and unreasonable people, this is the family of Yangzhou Salt Transport Censor Lin, please retreat quickly, go east for about two miles There is a porridge shed set up by the magistrate, why don't you go here to get porridge!"

I saw a dark-skinned and thin man spit at the moment, stared at them with hatred and said, "Damn! You officials who have scraped off the people's fat and people's cream, eat and drink spicy food all day long, take these old moldy rice Come and send us away, I don’t know how many people have died, we can’t wait to peel off your skin and eat your flesh!"

Azhu and Bizhi looked at each other in surprise, "How could this be?"

A middle-aged woman with a skinny face was holding a ball of swaddling clothes that were so dirty that she couldn't see the color in her arms, and said frantically, "What kind of magistrate, you officials don't make decisions for the people, and use moldy rice to kill my husband. Even my poor Song'er died of illness, I want you to pay for their lives!"

The woman rushed forward suddenly, but was kicked out by the guard, and the swaddling clothes rolled to the ground, revealing a rotten and smelly child's body.The woman screamed and rushed towards the corpse, crying loudly, "My poor Song'er..."

This burst of howling immediately frightened the refugees, and they all shouted, "Kill this group of corrupt officials and scum!" Then they picked up the guys and rushed towards Ah Zhu and the others.

"Be careful to protect the master!" Even though the guards were skilled in martial arts, they were thrown into a panic by these desperate refugees. They had to be careful to kill the people and protect the masters from harm. There was a dilemma at the moment.Lin Rong didn't have any martial arts, yet he was loyal to protect the lord, he quickly hugged Azhu and Bizhi, showing his back, when everyone punched and kicked him, his head was bleeding from the wooden stick.

Although that Taoist Qing Yang has excellent magic skills, he has never encountered so many refugees and riots on this journey at one time, and he is also a cultivator, so he is not allowed to kill ordinary people at will. The seven-star long sword, using its mana, shouted loudly, "Bold mortal, you don't give me a quick retreat!"

A blue sword energy suddenly shot up into the sky, drew a gossip formation talisman on the spot, and suddenly a strong air current blew out from the formation talisman, knocking out these refugees at the same time. This powerful sword energy invaded the body, and many of them fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

"God... Immortal!" The refugees all looked at Master Qing Yang in horror.

Immediately afterwards, someone kowtowed on the spot.

"Ask the gods for help!"

"God, please give me a bite..."

"I beg the gods to save my son's life..."

Some people even brought out the corpses of their long-dead relatives from nowhere, and asked the gods to save their lives. Crying, pleading, and complaints filled the hearts of everyone present like the sound of magic piercing through the brain.

Such a sad and sad scene, even the real Qing Yang, who has always claimed to be cold-hearted and ignoring the worldly affairs, couldn't help being moved.

However, he is not a real immortal, and he does not have the magic power to bring people back to life. Even if he had, he would not be able to do it.

Only Lin Rong was seriously injured. The guards were all in good shape and had weapons for self-defense, so there was no serious problem.

Bizhi first checked Lin Rong's pulse, and seeing that there was no danger of his life, he asked the guards to help him up, and ordered Huanbi to give him a simple bandage, and then sent him to the carriage.

Then Bizhi stood up, stopped a group of guards who wanted to protect him, and said loudly to these refugees, "I am Lin Xia, the son of Lin Ruhai, the censor of Yangzhou Salt Transport, and I am not a family member of a local official. Lord, although I am a son of an official family, my Lin family has never done anything harmful to nature. During my father's tenure in Yangzhou, although he can't be said to be a good official who puts everything first for the people, he has never committed corruption This matter, your behavior is really rampant, beating the family members of court officials is enough to sentence you to exile for hundreds of miles!"

"You officials don't protect each other, there is a nest of snakes and rats, how can there be any good officials in this world!"

"That's right, officials deserve to die!"

The refugees knew that they might not be able to catch up today, but they couldn't swallow the breath, so they could only talk quickly.

Bizhi knew that a few words at this moment might not be enough for the common people to be angry, not to mention that the actions of the local officials are really abominable. He didn't want to take the blame for others, so he said, "I know that no matter what you say now, you won't believe it, and I don't need you." Believe it, but do you want to let the real sinner go like this, so that the loved ones can hurt the enemy quickly?"

The refugees immediately discussed, "What does this yellow-mouthed kid mean?"

But Bizhi said calmly, "I would like to petition for the people, please write down the Wanmin Letter, and I will let my father submit it to the present emperor to make decisions for you and punish these corrupt officials!"
