Chapter 167 Entrusting Daughter

These villagers ran to Hu Wanghai's house. On the way, many victims saw it and quickly asked what was going on. When they learned that someone was going to distribute relief food, each person was excited. One was spreading ten, ten was spreading hundreds, and more and more victims followed him to Hu Wanghai's house. When they arrived, it was a torrent.

They rushed outside Hu Wanghai's house, but found a group of officers and soldiers guarding them. When they saw them rushing over, they immediately set off their bows and arrows, unsheathed their swords and guns, and pointed them at them. The villagers were so scared that they all stopped.

Although the family of Mr. Long and Ma Damazi are either old or women, they have always eaten and slept well in front of them and are very physically strong. The victims have been suffering from hunger for several months of famine and are good enough to walk, so Mr. Long and the others can run ahead.

When he saw the officers and soldiers, Old Master Long was not very scared. He used to deal with them. He walked up to him and bowed: "Dear soldiers, we are not rioters, but Mr. Gu from our village. He has a lot of grain stored in the rice merchant Hu. He just said he wanted to release grain.

The military academy said angrily: "I don't care who you are! I am the county magistrate and I am here to protect Mr. Hu's granary. Anyone who dares to come will definitely kill you! - Prepare to shoot arrows!"

The soldiers immediately opened their bows and arrows and pointed them at the victims, which scared them to retreat repeatedly and become a mess.

Old Master Long also quickly retreated and looked back: "Where is Mr. Gu? Why haven't Mr. Gu come yet?"

Ma Damazi also looked forward and unexpectedly, he would fall to the point of waiting for relief with the victims one day, which made Ma Damazi crazy. But there was no way. Their last grain of food was eaten up a few days ago. Because there was no food, the relatives were also stunned. They were bewitched by Ma Damazi. Seeing that the land was so cheap, they were really moved, so they also took out all the grain for the land. Now, there was no food to eat, and many people ate or switched it off, like them, and there was no extra grain to lend it to them. The rice merchants with grain, because most of the grain was blown away by the strong wind, were no longer willing to sell it, let alone lend it to food. There was no way to escape the famine, otherwise they would have to starve to death. Now, it would be good if they could get a bowl of rice.

They were waiting timidly in the distance, but they never saw Gu Yezhou coming.

Old Master Long and Ma Damazi muttered, "It's Mr. Gu who smeared them, right?" He decided to go back and take a look.

They were really not wrong. Gu Yezhou used a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain. When the victims were rushing to the rice merchant, he quickly took the opportunity to sneak into the escort agency and ordered the gate to close it quickly. Then he breathed a little relieved. The doorman told him that Mori and his family were waiting for him in the lobby and were talking to Zeng escort.

Gu Yezhou hurried to the lobby and saw Morizheng and his family sitting in the lobby. Mo Huaixiang held his daughter Lancao and saw him, and was both happy and sad.

When Mori saw him come in, he quickly got up and said, "The plan mentioned by Mr. Sir has been very good. When I went back to discuss it with everyone, I thought it was very bad. Moreover, it would be better to leave early than to leave late. Everyone said it would be better to leave now, to the Jiangnan Sea earlier, and to eat earlier. So they set off together. They said they would come to thank you again, so they came together. I heard that you went to the yamen and we were waiting here, just to say goodbye to you. In addition, there is another thing, I want to bother you, but I don't know if it's OK?"

"Morry is right to say."

Morrie looked at his daughter and whispered, "This trip is long, and I don't know if I can get there. There is nothing to do with my three sons. The key is my daughter and granddaughter. They are all women, and I am afraid they will not be able to withstand such hardships and worry that something will happen to them on the way. So, there is a reluctant request, I wonder if the sir can agree?"

Gu Yezhou had already thought about what he would say, nodded and said, "Li Zheng, but it's okay to say it."

"I think..., I want to keep my daughter and granddaughter with Mr. Gu. I wonder if Mr. can take in them, mother and daughter?"

Although Gu Yezhou had already thought of this, he was still a little surprised and looked at Mo Huaixiang.

Mo Huaixiang hugged her daughter and didn't dare to look at him, for fear that he would refuse. Now there was no food, and the moment of life and death, not to mention that she was just having an affair with her, the couple, brother and sister, and the incident of turning against each other in order to eat a bite is now happening every day. She really wasn't sure that Gu Yezhou could take them in and take them in their mother and daughter. But in order to survive, she really couldn't think of any other way. If she followed her father and brother to escape the famine, it would be a few months before she could reach it in the blizzard weather. She really couldn't imagine how she could survive the hunger and coldness of the past few months with her daughter. She was afraid that she would starve to death and freeze to death on the road if she couldn't walk for ten days and half months.

Gu Yezhou's slow voice was heard in his ears: "At the time when Gu's family was poor, Mori-zheng's family helped me a lot. When I was recuperating, Ling Yan not only took care of me, but also gave me fish to eat every meal. The so-called grace of someone's drop of water, as long as I get repaid, I will leave them with my daughter. As long as I have something to eat, they will have something to eat."

This was the result that Mo Huaixiang was most looking forward to, but when this result really came, she was a little at a loss. She opened her eyes openly and looked at Gu Yezhou and saw the sincerity in his eyes. She suddenly felt warm and her eyes were wet. She quickly put down her daughter and said, "Be good, Lancao, go and kowtow to the teacher, thank you for saving her life."

Lancao fell to the ground obediently and walked to Gu Yezhou. He was about to kneel down and kowtow, but Gu Yezhou was already holding him back and said, "No need to do this. Follow the teacher in the future, study hard and listen to his mother's words. Do you know?"

"I understand." Lancao nodded solemnly.

Mori was overjoyed, got up and bowed, and said, "Sir Gao Yi, Mo is grateful!"

Gu Yezhou hurriedly got up and returned the gift.

Morrie was looking at her daughter and said with mixed feelings: "If you have the care of your husband, I will feel relieved. Let's go!"

Mo Huaixiang burst into tears and pulled her daughter to kneel on the ground and kowtowed. Mori was sighing, patted her and Lancao's heads, and walked out with her three sons.

Gu Yezhou whispered a few words to Zeng Biaotou, then chased him out and said loudly: "Mori is waiting for a moment."

Morrie was stopping, looking back at him in confusion.

Gu Yezhou quickly stepped forward, looked at his son Mo Mingzhi, pulled Mori to the side, and then asked in a low voice: "Do you have food when you go out?"

Morri was smiling bitterly: "The child's uncle's house is out of stock soon, and he can't take out the food for us. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so anxious to lead everyone to escape from the famine and eat."

"Well, then how many people are there in the family this time you go out?"

Morrie didn't know what Gu Yezhou asked about this, and hurriedly said, "Three dogs and their daughter-in-law, and there were also grandchildren, a total of thirteen. They were all waiting in the gatehouse. There were too many people and I didn't let them in."

Gu Yezhou nodded and said, "You must have no food anymore. The journey is long and there is no food. So, follow me and go to Zhiweixuan. I will buy some food for you to bring with you, and it can also be used as a result of your needs."

Morrie was in surprise: "Thank you, that's really great."

"To be honest, I don't like your three sons, so I don't want to help them. You let them stay and bring everyone else here. I'll wait for you here. There are many people who borrowed food from me at the front door, so I don't have that ability, so I can't go from the front, let's go to the back door."

"Okay! Thank you!" Morri was excitedly taking his three sons to the front door. After a while, he brought nine more women and children. The three sons did not come and asked them to wait directly at the city gate.

Gu Yezhou took Mori and his daughter-in-law and grandson out of the back door and walked to Zhiweixuan. The escort agency was also in the wealthy area, so it was not far apart.

When he arrived at Zhiweixuan, the shopkeeper saw Gu Yezhou coming back and quickly greeted him, and smiled and said with apologies: "Sir, are you here?"

Gu Yezhou nodded and said, "Mori Zheng's family is going to go far. I'll give them some food to use on the way. You can prepare ten kilograms of fried rice for each of them immediately. In addition, prepare another bag of twenty kilograms." Gu Yezhou turned to Mori Zheng and said, "Take this extra bag to my father-in-law for me."

Morrie was busy agreeing.

Fried rice means stir-frying the rice. When you need to eat it, just grab a handful of it and eat it with water. It is easy to carry and not easy to break.

The shopkeeper quickly nodded and agreed, asking them to sit for a while, and then prepare.

The fried rice was soon ready. Each person was ten kilograms, wrapped in a long strip, and could be carried on the back. The children were too young to carry them, so they were carried by their mothers.

Mori was so moved that she burst into tears. He quickly asked a group of daughters-in-law and grandson to kowtow to Gu Yezhou to thank him. Then he stood up, carried dry food on his back, and pulled farewell to the city gate.

On the way, they happened to meet Old Master Long and other villagers. Old Master Long and the others didn't know that Mori and the others were carrying dry food. When they saw him, they stopped him and said, "Mr. Gu said he wanted to give grain to help the people of a village, but we waited for a long time at the door of Hu Wanghai's house in Mi Shang, but we didn't see him. We were about to go back to ask him what was going on."

Morrie was shook his head and said, "We won't go. We will wait for you at the gate of the city in front. You will come after you get the food. It's time for us to leave. It's getting late."

"Okay, you are waiting for us at the gate of the city. We will come after we get the food. - The sir won't keep his word, right?"

Morrie said seriously: "How could it be? The gentleman has always believed in his words. If he really cannot fulfill his promise, there must be some reason that cannot be overcome."

"It makes sense, I feel so too. Oh, sir, you must not have anything else."
