Chapter 264 Chapter 264: Shen Dashanren [asking for monthly votes]
Bai Su’s actions alarmed the woman who was taking care of her.
The woman asked: "What do you need, madam?"
Bai Su was caught red-handed, and she felt guilty for no reason. She lowered the car curtain with an embarrassed expression, and suddenly a plan came to her mind, ready to dig out some information from the woman: "There is nothing needed... Madam, does she know the origin of the husband?"
The woman is alert. Said: "Why do you ask?"
"The slave family suffered a great disaster, and it was only by chance that I saved my life when I met my benefactor..." Bai Su lowered his head, with graceful eyebrows, deliberately covering up his overly heroic face. Just listening to that delicate and soft voice, I subconsciously imagined a delicate little lady in my mind.
No one will be wary of weak and pitiful people.
Even feel pity.
The woman said: "That's how it is, alas, it's pitiful."
She looked at Bai Su who was injured with pity, and couldn't help but think about it: "A delicate woman encounters bad luck, a cruel bully The drama of "taking advantage of one's power to commit murder" was once again applied to oneself and others, and finally he let down his guard. She sighed softly and started talking: "The young lady doesn't know the origin of Master Lang. She only knows that her surname is Shen. He is a rare and kind man."
Bai Su was surprised when he heard this.
"A good person?"
The madam nodded: "Yes."
"Madam, is that Mr. Shen who governs the people?" Bai Su asked the woman again, the question A little more pointedly, "Follow Master Shen all the way to Heyin - Madam, do you know what kind of dragon, pond, and tiger's den Heyin is? Not to mention the wind, food, sleep, and fatigue along the way..."
The woman only thought that Bai Su was concerned. curious.
As for the "tea talk" in the words, she didn't notice it. Just follow Bai Su's questions and answer them one by one.
She said: "The little woman is not a common person under the rule of Master Shen Lang. Four generations of her family have lived in Sibao County, and she is a native. The rebel army caused trouble a while ago, and several members of the little woman's family were killed. He died, leaving only little women and young children..."
A not-so-old woman, an ignorant child, her family’s savings were robbed by the rebels, and her house was burned down. She has no savings, no money, and no skills to make a living... Let me ask, where are the two of them? How to survive in this world safely?
This combination is as easy to bully as an old man.
If she did not follow Shen Tang, but chose to stay in her hometown and start over, the woman could guess what she would encounter with her eyes closed.
She needs to go out to find a job to make a living, and cannot stay with her children all the time. Her children will be bullied, because everyone is crazy poor and hungry, and the child is more likely to be trafficked, and the end will be even worse. Mixed into butcher shops and used as preserved meat.
If she is lucky, the child will be fine, but it does not mean that she is safe - because the house was burned down, she is homeless.
Either you live in a dilapidated building with your children, or you live in a thatched house that can barely keep out the wind and rain. There is no safety at all. In the middle of the night, while she was asleep, different gangsters would even break into the hut, steal money, force her to take advantage of her.
This kind of thing is too common.
Because she has no ability to defend herself, and there is no strong man in her family, the orphan and widowed mother will be bullied. When she is bullied, no one will defend her, so she can only break her teeth and swallow blood. Bullying women and children has the lowest risk and the highest benefit.
How dare the woman stay?
Even if she knew that Heyin was a dangerous place, she could only bite the bullet and come here - no matter what happened, she and her children would be able to eat dry food in the past few days, and they would not be disturbed by the military master if they walked slowly. Threat of whipping. The woman was even paid extra for taking care of Bai Su.
A woman’s words are like listening to a book from heaven.
However, her first reaction was not how kind Shen Tang was, but how he was "extremely rich". You must know that the entire team included more than 3,000 people! There are more than 3,000 people, not more than 300 people!
More than three thousand mouths!
Ordinary people account for 60%!
The remaining 40% are private parts.
The food is not only for the young and strong men who can fight, but is evenly distributed to the old, weak, women and children to satisfy their hunger. Although not everyone can be very full and full, they have the strength to walk so far after eating. Rather than the minimum standard of "lying down and starving to death"...
Bai Su made a rough estimate in his mind.
That is also a big expense.
Mr. Shen is not a wealthy man with a big business, but he is a complete fool. Otherwise, how could anyone do such a thing?
Bai Su responded and said, "Mr. Shen is kind-hearted."
The woman also nodded happily.
She has also experienced disaster years. At that time, the country was still the country of Xin - either there was a locust plague here, or there was a flood there. The people's life was "up and down", and they were "about to starve to death" all year round. ” and “a little hungry but not starving to death”.
In the event of a disaster, some places will release food for disaster relief.
The so-called porridge, the porridge water is sometimes so clear that you can count the number of wheat grains, and sometimes it is so turbid that it is mixed with half of the sediment. It allows the people to "lie down and starve to death" after drinking it, not to mention how many days they can travel with their families. The distance is far away and I don’t have the energy to say more than two words.
Comparing the two, the woman truly felt that Shen Tang was a good person, and she was not the only one. The people who chose to follow him thought so. There was no way for them to survive in their homeland, so they chose Shen Tang because they had no idea that they could have enough to eat.
Because Mr. Shen was at the front of the team most of the time, he didn't see it - Buqu soldiers distributed food to the people. The people who received the dry food all accepted it with tears instead of gobbling it up. , Worried about not being able to save the next meal, they are reluctant to eat, secretly hiding it, worried that if they have this meal, they will miss the next meal.
But they didn’t expect it to happen every time.
After more than half a month——
Stop when you are allowed to stop, rest when you are allowed to stop, and just give way.
Has anyone ever cried out about bitterness, tiredness, or unwillingness?
No!
None!
Bai Suwen looked moved.
However, she was worried that the woman was exaggerating and wanted to see it with her own eyes. After another half day, Bai Suyong felt better and wanted to get out of the car for a walk and get some fresh air. While the group stopped to rest, he was helped out of the car by the woman.
Buqu soldiers are carrying bamboo baskets to distribute dry food.
Bai Su secretly craned her neck to look.
The bamboo basket is indeed full of round pancakes.
These pancakes are made from very solid ingredients, thick and heavy.
When the soldier Buqu sent it to Bai Su, he didn't even look at it and handed her one as well. Basically, there are two for adults and one for children.
Eat during half of the break.
We will eat the other half on the way.
Bai Su took a bite of the pancake, which had no taste but smelled of wheat. He mixed it with saliva to soften it, chewed it and swallowed it.
The woman handed her a piece of bamboo tube.
This is for drinking water.
Not to mention that all the belongings of these people were burned down. Even if they were not, they would not have all the pots, pans, and drinking vessels on their way to escape. Happening to pass by a remote wild bamboo forest, Shen Tang unceremoniously ordered Zhao Feng's private troops to chop it down.
Free labor, no need to regret it.
Bai Su took it and thanked him in a low voice.
While eating, she secretly observed the expressions of the people, and it turned out that they were not lying as the woman said. She sighed inwardly and ate all the cake and the remaining crumbs. At this time, the young lady whom I met last night came closer.
Bai Su saw that Lin Fengchong came by himself.
Smiling and asked: "But my benefactor sees me?"
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. She said: "No."
Bai Su was puzzled: "What is this little lady?"
Lin Feng: "The girl's injury has not healed and needs to be nursed back to health."
She glanced at Tu Rong who was following behind her and pursed her lips. Tu Rong gave a small pot of something to the woman beside Bai Su as if he accepted his fate. . Bai Su was puzzled at first, but when the small pot came closer, he could smell the tempting aroma of meat and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
She asked: "This is it?"
Lin Feng answered truthfully: "Oh, this is a wild animal that the scouts randomly hunted when they were exploring the road. I had them plucked and cooked."
Bai Su knew this was a good intention, but she had already eaten one pancake, and coupled with her injuries, she had no appetite at this time.
I wanted to borrow flowers to offer to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng thanked her for her kindness: "It's hard to refuse the girl's kindness, but my family is still observing filial piety and has some dietary restrictions."
Although I have been on the road these days, it is very hard. , but her teacher’s cooking skills are much better than those of a cook, and meat and vegetables are served every day—the teacher cooks for her husband, and also leaves a small portion for others to satisfy their appetite.
It’s just that she and Tu Rong were still in their filial piety period and had dietary taboos.
Their part is a bit special and needs to be done separately.
Lin Feng is young and has a small appetite.
The past half month has become abruptly mellow.
Bai Su said apologetically: "It's the servant's fault."
She handed the pot of soup to the woman's child.
Seeing that the child was not afraid of being burned at all, he drank up the fragrant milky white soup in a few sips, and chewed the not-so-full meat in the pot with a satisfied look on his face. Bai Su stared at it blankly. As he looked, he suddenly felt a little sad, and his eyes turned red.
The woman asked: "Why is my wife feeling unwell?"
Bai Su lowered her head to avoid the woman's concern, not wanting her fragile look to be seen by others. She calmed down and soon returned to normal, looking low. He said: "Nothing else, I just saw my wife and children, and thought of my brother and sister who died young..."
Strictly speaking, they did not starve to death.
At that time, my family was really too poor.
My father begged for help and took on debts, but he could only keep the family alive. The two younger brothers and sisters were young and received the least amount of food. They are really hungry, their legs are often weak and dizzy, and they go to drink water when they feel hungry...
One day, all the adults in the family went out.
The two children stayed at home and played.
At this time, the village head man passed by the door and saw the two children playing house, you playing the role of father and I playing the mother-in-law, making rice in the pot. The man scoffed and coaxed the two children. There is a place where the soil is more fragrant than meat.
People will be free from illness and disaster after eating it!
They really went to dig it up and wolfed it down, not forgetting to leave a portion for their grandparents, father, mother, brother and sister. When the father returned from work, the two children had choked to death from the sticky mud... rigor mortis.
Bai Su is "greedier" than his mentor.
She has too many regrets in her life.
For example, it’s a pity that my younger brother and younger sister came to this world and didn’t even know what “meat” tasted like. As for the deadbeat...
I came to ask for an explanation but was ridiculed. , it was also because of this incident that my grandmother got violent with the deadbeat old lady, and then she became ill...
The woman didn't know the reason.
But looking at the sadness in Bai Su's eyes, she knew that her son had brought back memories of the past, and her heart skipped a beat. She was so frightened that she quickly waved her hand secretly and signaled her son to get out of Bai Su's sight with her eyes.
In the woman's view, Shen Tang's willingness to pay her to take care of Bai Su means that Lady Bai Su is a very important noble person. She cannot neglect her, let alone make the other party unhappy.
Bai Su did not miss the woman's expression and little movements.
She knew why after a moment's thought.
Just smiled and said nothing else.
Traveling is very boring.
How to be boring?
It was boring to the point where Shen Tang also felt bored and made up nonsense stories in his heart! She was enjoying herself, but she felt sorry for Gu Chi who "caught up" to listen to the story and had the first half but lost the second half.
It's like the eunuch in the inner court, opened his head, but the bottom is gone!
Are you there?
Inhuman!
Gu Chi showed a sad face as if he had been constipated for seven or eight days.
Qishan looked surprised.
He and Gu Chi were close acquaintances.
Don’t be too scrupulous about what you say, just say bluntly: “You really don’t need to ask Chu Wuhui to sprinkle a handful of croton flour in your meal?”
Gu Chi didn't understand what he meant.
Qi Shan took out a palm-sized round bronze mirror with delicate patterns on the back from the bag and showed it.
He motioned to Gu Chi to look at his face in the mirror.
Gu Chi took a moment to return to the future, and said with an unkind expression: "Croton powder? You can keep it for yourself and taste it slowly!"
This guy should eat a bowl of thick glutinous rice flour. Thick croton porridge!
Damage or not!
Qi Shan was not angry even after being scolded.
Because he knew that Gu Chi was more angry than him.
When Shen Tang heard Qi Shan’s laughter from behind, questions were raised in his head. He looked back and saw Gu Chi threatening Qi Shan with the scabbard of his sword. Qi Shan said, “If you have the ability, just draw the sword.” Ah" provocative face...
Shen Tang muttered to Kang Shi.
"Look back, Ji Shou and Yuan Liang are asking."
Kang Shi was turning his head to watch the excitement.
“What are you asking about?”
Shen Tang said: “What color sack does he like?”
_(:3 ∠)_
Ah, we are getting closer and closer to the 14th...
Feeling guilty...
I looked through the information today and suddenly found that there were examples of work-for-relief in ancient times. The method is a good one, but the difficulty lies not in how clever the idea is, but in the food. The landlord’s family has no food...
