Chapter six hundred and sixty first shelter

Liu Yunxiang and the others followed, bought enough medicine in the medicine hall, and then entered an alley and ran all the way to a collapsed house yard.

The courtyard walls were all over the walls and the gates were locked at that time. They stepped over the ruins and walked in. It was pitch black inside and there was no movement at all.

The child I found before was named Fang Su, and it was rare to be a serious name.

He looked around and saw nothing unusual, and then shouted in a low voice: "Children, come out, Sister Xier is back."

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen small figures rushed over from all directions of the yard, some tall and short, some boys and girls, but they were all young, only seven or eight years old, and some three or four years old.

They surrounded Liu Yunxiang and the others, stared at them with wide eyes, with a little cowardly in their eyes, but more surprised.

"They have such white faces and their clothes are so clean."

"They don't smell."

"That sister is so beautiful, and brother is so beautiful."

These children were born in Shanmian Camp. They had never seen anyone outside or the scenery outside. They thought the whole world was the corner of Shanmian Camp.

These children are all skinny and thin in winter and look very weak.

Liu Yunxiang saw a little girl who was probably too hungry. She looked at her and kept swallowing. She was wearing a thin jacket and hugging her shoulders. She had no shoes on her feet. She stepped on the snow and was covered with frostbite.

At this time, screams came from the room, and Xi'er and Zhou Lihuai ran into it quickly.

Half of the house collapsed, and air leaked everywhere. The child was lying on the dead grass, screaming in pain and thrusting all over.

Zhou Lihuai asked Xier to light the fire quickly, first take the child's pulse, then look at his expression, and urgently prepared a pack of medicine. Fortunately, there was a broken pot here, so he boiled a pot first.

While boiling the medicine, Zhou Lihuai gave the child acupuncture. After a while, the child would not feel so painful.

If you drink another bowl of medicine, the symptoms will be relieved a lot immediately.

"It must be because I ate the dirty food?" Zhou Lihuai looked at Xi'er.

Xi'er said helplessly: "As long as it can be eaten, they will eat whatever they care about whether it is dirty or clean."

Zhou Lihuai nodded, "Other children may have this symptoms, too?"

Fang Su hurriedly said, "I have two children today and my stomach hurts."

"Didn't that pot of medicine be boiled and give each of them a bowl of it." As he said that, he looked around again, smelled the stench, and couldn't help but cover his nose, "This place can't be lived in anymore, it's too dirty and too tide."

Xi'er sighed, "The officials are searching for people everywhere. I can't take them out of the city at all. But in the city, there is no place for them to hide."

Liu Yunxiang said: "I have a house."

While late at night, Liu Yunxiang and the others brought these children to her house in the corner alley.

Xue Changfeng was considerate and first bought two bags of rice, and then asked his servants to send more than a dozen quilts.

When he left the broken courtyard, Zhou Lihuai remembered his dog son. Fang Su took him to the wing room, which was half collapsed, and Xiaoyue, the silly dog, was lying on the ground and snoring loudly.

"We are not hungry, we only have a few cakes left for it to eat." Fang Su said.

Zhou Lihuai didn't know what to say for a moment, and said, "Thank you so much, but you are all hungry, why do you still give it the remaining food?"

"Sister Xi'er said you can't starve it. If you lose weight, you will lose a few taels of meat."

Zhou Lihuai twitched the corners of his mouth, and looked at his dog son who was sleeping very soundly, and hurriedly said, "Isn't it just meat? I'll give it back to you."

Liu Yunxiang counted carefully and there were a total of sixteen children, including Fang Su and the child with stomachache.

The children all had a layer of mud on their bodies. After asking Xi'er, they realized that they had dug a hole in the ground and escaped.

It wasn't just snowing, and the ground was frozen. They first burned a fire and thawed the ground. Then they took advantage of the officers and soldiers guarding outside not paying attention to digging little by little, and digging for two days before digging outside the wall.

"Adults and older children have to follow the workers of the Ministry of Works to build straw sheds. Only those younger officers and soldiers who do not pay attention to them will escape." Xi'er explained.

Liu Yunxiang asked Zhang Qi to come with a few guys, including men and women, to boil water to bathe the children.

There is no way, they are too dirty, and they will get sick.

They took a bath, changed into clean clothes, ate rice porridge, and then slept on the hot kang one by one. After a while, the children fell asleep.

Liu Yunxiang called Xi'er to the hall, and Yan Mu, Xue Changfeng and Zhou Lihuai were also there.

"How did you know these kids?"

Xi'er sighed and said, "A few days ago, I was stolen money by a group of children from Shannian Camp. These children were them, and Fang Su took them. They stolen money because a child was seriously ill and wanted to take him to see a doctor, but they had no money. After stealing the money, the children felt that they were saved and naively took the seriously ill child to see the doctor. As a result, the doctor not only did not show them, but also notified the government, and they were arrested. At that time, I was still tracking these children. I happened to see that Fang Su saw me and fled from the official officer like crazy. He ran to me and returned the money to me, begging me to say good things to the official officer and save the seriously ill child."

Xi'er's eyes were red when she said this, "I begged the official officer, but the official officer was not a stern heart. I asked the doctor to show it to you. But... but it was too late, the child had vomited blood. Fang Su and I watched him die."

Hearing this, the two men Zhou Lihuai and Xue Changfeng also had their eyes red with sighs, and Liu Yunxiang's tears fell. However, Yan Mu leaned against the chair, with no expression on his face. He was not a sarcastic heart, but as if he was not listening to Xi'er's words at all.

"I, I got the ten taels of silver back, but I didn't go back to my sister. I know my sister doesn't need these ten taels of silver, but if I have the chance, I can use these ten taels of silver to save a few lives. Of course, I know it's wrong to think like this." As he said that, Xier lowered her head embarrassedly.

Liu Yunxiang shook her head, "You forgot, I said you don't owe me money, these ten taels are yours."

When Xi'er heard this, she smiled on her face, "My mother often told me that she must have a scale in her heart, and this scale must be flat. With the words of her sister, the scale in my heart will be flat."

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Your mother taught you very well."

"I went to Xicheng for a walk whenever I had time. The day before yesterday, I really met Fang Su and the others. They had just crawled out of the cave in Shanmian Camp and were caught by a group of officials before they could run far."

"Those officials were about to escort them back to Shannian Camp, but I went over to beg them and gave them the ten taels of silver. They also found it troublesome and asked me to take Fang Su and the others away."
