Chapter 108 Guo Lichang

The Tang family also felt a sense of belonging to Pingyuan Township.

After the flood, Guo Lichang met the village chiefs of other villages and found that Pingyuan Township was silent. He couldn't help but wonder that in previous years, whenever there was a flood, there would be a group of people coming to Pingyuan Township to cry, saying that the house was gone, the food was gone, and the people were gone. This year, other villages came, but the other end of Pingyuan Township was unpredictable and quiet. Something was wrong, it was too wrong! Was it really annihilated?

The more Guo Lichang thought about it, the more he became more and more panicked. He staggered from the rocking chair, knocked over the small coffee table, and ordered anxiously: "Come here! I'm preparing a carriage, I'm going to Pingyuan Township!"

The servant was frightened by Guo Lichang's face and did not dare to ask more questions. He quickly prepared a horse. Along the way, the coachman wanted to speak but stopped. There were many villagers coming to and from the town, but he did not see anyone coming from Pingyuan Township.

Even the coachman is thinking about the worst, let alone Guo Li grows.

"It's over, it's over now!" Guo Li grew up in the carriage and sat in a pin and needle, hoping to arrive in Pingyuan Township immediately.

The coachman couldn't help but speed up, and the horse whip flew up, directly ignoring the villagers who had passed away. When he arrived at the entrance of Pingyuan Village, he saw the expected barrenness. Because the terrain of the village is low, all the homesteads are located in wasteland not far from the entrance of the village. You can see some farmhouses at the entrance of the village, but now there seem to be several farmhouses. Except for the three companies whose foundations are raised, the rest are all shaky. This... it is obvious that people cannot live in!

The houses are like this, where are the people?

The inner-level manager got off the carriage with the help of the coachman and ran to the farmhouse anxiously. Seeing so many empty houses, his heart was cold and his eyes were so red that he was so red that he could not think that the entire village would disappear!

Just as Guo Lichang was kneeling in front of a farmhouse with only adobe left, she cried bitterly, and suddenly a puzzled voice came from behind, "Isn't this the grown-up?"

The visitor walked to Guo Lichang, bent down, looked at the house, and asked curiously: "Is this family your relative?"

Guo Lichang looked confused, and was so shocked that he couldn't come back to his senses for a moment.

"Sir, what's wrong with you? I tell you, this man was gone before, the orphan and widow were so pitiful, and he still lives in other people's houses! If you are his relatives, you have to help you!"

As he said that, the man got up and was about to turn around and leave, but the coachman grabbed him, "Wait, where are the people in this village? Where have they all gone?"

From the man's words, the coachman heard that there was nothing wrong with this family, who was left with orphans and widows. Even such people were fine, and other families should be fine. This is really surprising news!

The man pointed to the field surrounded by dense walls and said for granted: "Of course you are doing farm work at this time, otherwise will you drink the northwest wind after the autumn harvest?"

"Do it...do the farm work! The crops are fine?" The coachman was even more surprised. He could swallow an egg even with his mouth wide open.

The man understood the reaction of the coachman and laughed: "The grown-ups in the village would not think that our Pingyuan Township had suffered heavy losses! To be honest, if it were in the past, you would have guessed it was not wrong! But this year is different! We have prepared for it and the Tang family helps, so it has been successfully passed. But this house is not very solid. Look at the house of the Tang family, Wei family, Huang family, how grandly it has been built!

There was no damage at all when the flood came. We all agreed. After the autumn harvest, we will build a house like them. You know that everyone is poor, but remember to pay our disaster relief money!"

After the man finished speaking, he saw that Li Yuan Guo had no objection or agreement. He grinned and carried the hoe directly into the field, humming a song that could not be found in tune.

Li Yuan, Guo, came to his senses first, grabbed the driver's hand and stood slowly, turned his head to look at the three farmhouses that were rising from the ground, and said, "Let's go! Let's go to the Tang family!"

The two of them finally climbed up the steps, but after looking at the door for a long time, no one came to open it. Finally, they could only touch the fields and then they saw the Tang family father and son.

Tang Junsheng obviously didn't expect that the villager would dare to bring a servant here when he was old. He was stunned for a moment and quickly wiped his hands, and went forward to greet him, "Sir, why are you here?"

Guo Lichang was still immersed in the ecstasy of this whole golden rice, and his mind couldn't turn.

The coachman was even more excited than him, "Master, this rice grows so gratifyingly!"

Lichang Guo nodded repeatedly, his heart almost jumped out, "No! I'm going to send a message to the county magistrate, just say, just say..."

"What did you say?" The coachman looked at him with a scrupulous look.

Lichang Guo was a little embarrassed, looked at Tang Junsheng and asked, "What is the disaster in Pingyuan Township this time?"

"You ask me?" Tang Junsheng was a little confused, but he replied honestly: "For most of the walls, some water inlets that are not high enough, and some leaks that cut corners. Others are fine. Of course, it goes without saying that those without walls, and they have worked hard for a year in the end."

The result was much better than Guo Lichangying's desire. He smiled and then asked, "Where is someone? Is there something wrong with me?"

Tang Junsheng shook his head, "I didn't hear that anyone is gone. The rain started to rush into the house and the villagers went up the mountain together. Only a mother and son were unable to evacuate in time. Later, the water came up and wanted to leave but couldn't. Fortunately, I met my daughter and rescued her home. After the flood receded, they stayed at my house for a few days. Later, the woman contacted her brother and took the child away!"

"So that's it!" Guo Lichang touched his beard, smiled, and nodded with satisfaction: "It's not easy for you. Let's talk to me about Pingyuan Township during this period, so I can also ask for me for the merits."

Tang Junsheng was flattered and shook his head repeatedly, "It is appropriate for fellow villagers in the country to help each other."

Then Tang Junsheng told Li Zong Guo carefully how Tang Ning ran back and forth during that period and how he helped everyone get through the difficulties.

Li Zong Guo learned all the information and left with satisfaction.

After returning from Pingyuan Township, Guo Lizhu didn't care that it was getting late, so he asked the coachman to take him to the county government office.

It was dark tomorrow, and there were still many refugees outside the county government office. They were all villagers who suffered heavy losses in the flood this time. There were too many people and the people in the government office could not take care of them. So they just followed them. This kind of thing was no longer uncommon.

Guo Lichang went all the way to the backyard of the county government. After layers of notification, he finally saw the county magistrate who was still ill.

"Sir, the official has already gone to Pingyuan Township to see it!" Guo Lichang's voice was slow.
