Chapter 253 I only wish that there would be no Jia Sidao in the country

When the footsteps approached, Li Tingxiang did not notice it. He just lay on the bank, scooping up river water with his hands to wash his face. When the footsteps came closer, he became aware of it and immediately turned his head.

Under the large coarse cloth trouser legs, there is a pair of women's feet. Looking up from the pair of coarse cloth trouser legs, there is a coarse cloth linen garment; further up, there is the shoulder carrying the shoulder pole, which is a bit laborious and the shoulders are shaking a bit.

Finally, there is a woman's face.

Seeing that face, Li Tingxiang couldn't look away anymore. He seemed to be frozen in place, and his eyes gradually filled with tears. After a long time, he murmured, "Mother"

The voice was so soft that even he himself might not have heard it. As soon as it came out, it was blown away by the breeze.

"elder brother!"

A cheerful voice sounded, and the little girl limped over with a simple crutch made of bamboo sticks, her little face full of joy.

At this time, Li Tingxiang seemed to have woken up from a dream, but he couldn't stop the tears on his face. He looked at his mother, then turned to look at his little sister, as if to confirm whether this was true.

Soon he saw the short leg wrapped in a bandage.

"Niuniu, your legs."

Hearing this, the little girl's mouth flattened and tears filled her eyes, "Brother, my leg is broken."

Li Tingxiang quickly took the little girl into his arms and gently touched the leg with his hand.

"It's a broken bone. Apply medicine and wrap it with a bandage. It will heal after a while of recovery."

The woman's eye circles were also a little red, and then she asked sternly: "You are just your official in the capital, why are you coming back?"

"Mom, when I come back, I am following the adults in the court to provide disaster relief."

"Been back for more than a month?"

"No, I just came back a few days ago."

"Master Xia and others came here to provide disaster relief a few days ago. Why did the imperial court send you here?"

Li Tingxiang was silent for a while and said in a low voice: "The imperial court is not at ease because it is afraid that Mr. Xia and others will not do a good job in providing relief."

"It's you who the court is worried about. If it weren't for Mr. Xia and the others, I don't know how many people would have died in Puzhou, and my mother and Niuniu would have died long ago."

Upon hearing this, Li Tingxiang knelt on the ground, "I'm late."

"Mother is not blaming you."

Having said this, the woman pursed her lips and said, "Now that I'm back, I'll concentrate on helping the prince, Mr. Xia and the others to relieve the disaster."

"Help, my son is leading people outside to deal with the corpses of humans and animals."

"."

Hearing this, the woman's face changed and her voice trembled, "You ran to dispose of the body? Aren't you afraid of catching the disease? What are you doing?"

"Mom, someone has to do this kind of thing. My son is from Puzhou, and those are our fellow villagers in Puzhou. My son wants to contribute to them."

"There are so many ways to help, and you just picked this one? Do you know that the disease will kill people?"

"My son knows, but if he doesn't deal with these corpses, more people will die when the epidemic spreads."

The woman stopped talking. She looked at Pu Shui with a somewhat dazed eyes, and then slowly looked at Li Tingxiang. Finally, she picked up the pole and turned around, "Niuniu, let's go back with mother."

"Mom, brother"

"We don't care about him."

After taking a few steps, Li Tingxiang stretched out his hand to take the pole with two wooden barrels hanging on it.

"release."

"Mom, if you want to scold me, just scold me. Let your son carry water."

"You picked it this time, can you pick it next time? You don't know when you will die outside."

"My son is well-prepared. Mother smells the wormwood smell on her son. It has been smoked, so she is not afraid."

However, the woman stopped talking and walked forward with some difficulty carrying a pole. Li Tingxiang didn't know what to say, so he had to pick up the little girl and follow him silently.

The mother and son walked forward very slowly. After a while, the woman spoke again: "It's not that I don't want you to go, and it's not that I don't understand these principles. But my son is only sixteen years old this year.

Not married, not even a wife, if so."

As she spoke, tears finally welled up in the woman's already red eyes, "There are so many people in this camp, tens of thousands of people, but no one is there except you? You are still an official, a Hanlin."

Seeing this, Li Tingxiang was silent for a while and said in a low voice: "Then my son will go to Mr. Xia later and push this job away."

Now it was the woman's turn to be silent.

After a long time, she asked: "Did Mr. Xia ask you to go?"

"My son fought for it from Mr. Xia."

"."

After another long moment of silence, the woman's face hesitated, but she finally pursed her lips and said, "You have to take care of yourself, but you must be careful not to catch the disease."

"Well, don't worry, mother, my son is well prepared. It won't happen."

Li Ting responded, put the little girl on the ground, reached out to pick up the pole again, and took it this time.

The woman picked up her daughter and asked in a low voice: "When are you going?"

"Tomorrow morning."

"Be careful."

"My son knows."

It was just after the disaster, so there was no such thing as a large courtyard with multiple entrances and exits, let alone a palace. The first two slightly larger wooden houses in the camp were the residences of Xia Yuan and Zhu Houzhao, who lived next to each other.

Looking at Li Tingxiang who was kneeling in front of him and kowtowing repeatedly, Xia Yuan was at a loss. Just when he and Zhu Houzhao returned from inspecting the camp, they found this boy kneeling at the door of his house.

As soon as he came closer and before asking what he was going to do, Li Tingxiang started to kowtow.

"Okay, okay, please stop kowtowing. I'm scared if you kowtow like this. And why are you kowtowing again? Didn't you just come here to kowtow a few days ago?"

Li Tingxiang knocked a few more times, then stopped, and then raised his head, his red and swollen forehead was covered with mud stains, "A few days ago, I thanked Lord Xia for saving my people in Puzhou, today I thank Lord Xia

Save my mother and little sister."

"Your mother and little sister?"

"Yes, today I found my mother and little sister in the camp. If it weren't for Mr. Xia"

"."

After listening to him quietly, Xia Yuan finally realized. He thought that this boy wanted to quit his job of handling corpses. The young man was full of enthusiasm, and the blood rushed to his head. It was normal for him to volunteer for help when his head was hot. But when he actually went there

After that, it is normal to feel overwhelmed by those hideous and horrific sights and to want to give up.

"This kindness is as heavy as a hill and as deep as the sea. Li Mengbi has nothing to repay. From now on, he should look up to Master Xia and treat him with kindness and courtesy."

After taking a deep breath and saying these words word by word, Li Tingxiang dug his forehead into the soil again.

"."

Xia Yuan's cheek twitched. If it was just a simple favor, it would mean treating him with the same etiquette as a teacher. But if there is a prefix of Wen De Shi Gong Jin in front of it, the meaning would be different.

If Wen De always behaves in an official manner, and keeps letters to and from him, he will be called Enfu, and he will be called an envoy under his sect.

Combined with the horse-headedness at the front.

To put it bluntly, this guy wants to be his lackey and his party member.

This is really a taboo thing to say, not to mention that the dog prince is still here.

He went to look at Zhu Houzhao next to him, and Zhu Houzhao was also looking at him, with a dazed look on his face.

After a while, two words popped out of Zhu Houzhao's mouth, "Zhou Yu?"

Well, this kid doesn't understand these allusions, nor does he understand these doctrines. What Li Tingxiang said is really meant to bully the illiterate.

"Well, Meng Bi, we are friends after all. What are you doing? You don't have to do this. It's too much, it's too much."

Xia Yuan leaned over, helped Li Tingxiang up, and said seriously: "I am not Zhou Mi, and you are not Lu Wende."

After a pause, he added: "I only hope that there will be no Jia Sidao in the country."

"Foolish brother. No, the official knows." Li Tingxiang looked sternly, looked at Zhu Houzhao again, and immediately exhaled, "The official is just having a competition. Your Excellency, Prince, if the official has something else to do, he will go back first."

"Go ahead."

"yes."

Li Tingxiang bowed deeply to the two of them, then turned and left.

Looking at his back, Zhu Houzhao was still confused, "What were you talking about just now? What about Zhou Mi, Wen De, and Jia Sidao?"

"Have you never heard of Jia Sidao?"

"I think I've heard of him. He seems to be a traitor?"

"If you are more confident, you will be a traitor."

PS: I have something to do today, so I’ll do two updates first. I’m going to Xi’an in the afternoon to pick up my family from the hospital. I don’t know if I can catch up with the update tomorrow. If not, I’ll do two updates tomorrow with 6,000 words.

This big plot of disaster relief is coming to an end, and there will probably be a few more chapters.

I have to clear my mind and figure out how to finish.
Chapter completed!
