Chapter 255 Rescue

 It was not until the end of August that the gates of Xingyun Mansion were opened.

It's impossible not to open it. The city gate has been closed for nearly three months, and all the supplies in the city have been used up. Now, many people have nothing to eat.

Now that the plague has been cured, everyone can go out to make a living.

Daohua thought they could leave, but who knew that Xiao Yeyang would stay to provide disaster relief.

Governor Guo is responsible for the military affairs of Zhongzhou, Fenxi, and Jiguang provinces. This time, floods and plagues broke out in Jiguang, and he needed to coordinate them.

Now that the plague is under control, a large number of victims have not yet been resettled.

Governor Guo was very busy now. Xiao Yeyang went over to visit him and found that he had not seen him for two or three months and that his uncle had lost a lot of weight. When he decided to stay and help, he also wanted to exercise himself.

Dong Yuanxuan and Yan Wenxiu thought about it all night and decided to stay.

"Originally, we came to Jiguang to provide disaster relief experience, but we didn't expect that we were infected with the plague before we did anything serious. Now that we are cured, we should do something serious, otherwise, our trip would really be in vain.

."

After hearing this, Daohua and Dong Yuanyao looked at each other.

Daohua looked at the three brothers Yan Wenxiu: "I'm here to take you home, so whenever you go back, I will go back."

Dong Yuanyao also quickly said to Dong Yuanxuan: "Brother, me too, anyway, I want to go back to Zhongzhou with you."

Regarding this, both Yan Wenxiu and Dong Yuanxuan looked helpless.

Finally, Dong Yuanxuan said: "Then you stay in the city and are not allowed to run around. Now there are disaster victims everywhere outside. It will be very dangerous for you two little girls to go out."

Daohua nodded quickly and said: "Don't worry, if we don't follow you, we promise not to run around."

Dong Yuanyao also nodded.

In the days that followed, Xiao Yeyang and his party were sent to help by Governor Guo, and Daohua and Dong Yuanyao were not idle either.

Daohua sent Qin Xiaoliu back and brought several ships of food; Dong Yuanyao also sent a letter to his family, and the Dong family also raised a batch of food.

The two of them set up a porridge stall at the city gate and gave out porridge.

"This river embankment burst is really harmful to people!"

"Isn't that true? I heard that this time Jiguang was flooded with countless fertile fields and many houses washed down."

Daohua and Dong Yuanyao disguised themselves as men and stood in front of the porridge stall, scooping porridge for others and talking in a low voice.

"It's not because officials are corrupt and bribery, and their bodies are empty. Otherwise, why would we suffer these hardships!"

A voice of dissatisfaction with a strong complaint reached the ears of Daohua and Dong Yuanyao. When they looked up, they saw a dark and stocky young man of fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing shorts.

Seeing that everyone around her looked in agreement, Daohua thought for a moment and said, "You can't kill everyone with one shot. Not all officials are bad, and there are many honest ones."

The young man smiled sarcastically: "Little brother, you are still too young. How can there be any truly good officials in this world? Even if there are, they are just people who are seeking fame and reputation."

Dong Yuanyao on the side was furious, put down the spoon, and looked at the young man unhappily: "What nonsense are you talking about here? If there are no good officials in this world, who sent the medicinal materials when the plague broke out before?"

Raised?"

"Who got the porridge you are drinking now? Who is the person who is delivering food to various places for disaster relief? You cannot be a person without conscience. You cannot drink the porridge collected by officials and say bad things about them."<

/p>

The young man was speechless. After a while, he finally spoke in a low voice: "Is this porridge raised by officials?"

Dong Yuanyao: "Of course, listen carefully. One of these two porridge stalls was set up by the chief envoy of Zhongzhou, and the other was set up by the magistrate of Xingzhou. If you don't believe it, you can feel free to ask."

Seeing everyone around him nodding, the young man looked at Dong Yuanyao who was fuming and left without even eating the porridge.

Daohua pulled Dong Yuanyao: "Why are you so angry? That person probably just complained because his home was destroyed."

Dong Yuanyao picked up the spoon and continued to scoop porridge for the people behind him: "I'm just so angry. I won't talk about your dad, but my dad, I have watched how he was an official since I was a child. Maybe he has some official habits.

, but he is really doing things for the people."

Daohua: "...Okay, don't be angry!" After saying that, she called Wang Man'er and asked her to bring a bowl of porridge to the young man just now.

She took a look and saw that the young man was accompanied by an old man.

Dong Yuanyao looked over and curled his lips without saying anything.

Daohua smiled and did not explain.

She doesn't have as strong a sense of involvement as Dong Yuanyao, and she also knows that what that person is really talking about is the officials who caused the river embankment to burst. The cheap dad has nothing to do with this matter, so naturally she doesn't mind.

In a blink of an eye, September has entered.

On the Double Ninth Festival, Xiao Yeyang was ordered by Governor Guo to escort a batch of grain to the next door city. When passing through the city gate, he saw Daohua and Dong Yuanyao and asked.

"Would you like to come with me and take a walk around the city next door?"

Daohua and Dong Yuanyao's eyes both lit up: "Is it okay?"

Xiao Yeyang smiled: "There's nothing wrong with it, I'll just bring you two more."

Daohua hurriedly said: "Then let's go. Just wait a moment and I'll explain."

After a while, the three of them arrived at the pier and got on the boat.

Daohua stood on the deck looking at the flooded fields on both sides of the bank, sighed, and then asked: "Can we go back today?"

Xiao Yeyang nodded: "Of course, if everything goes well, I can be back before evening."

An hour later, Xiao Yeyang and the others arrived at the Fucheng Pier next door.

During this flood, the emperor started a fire and dealt with a group of officials severely. Now the officials in Jiguang are all conscientious and are afraid that if they don't do something well, they will be held accountable.

Therefore, Xiao Yeyang's handover went smoothly.

"Don't worry, young prince, I will immediately put these grains into disaster relief."

Xiao Yeyang looked calm and said calmly: "I have sent over a lot of food. If the disaster is not under control, it will be your problem, the prefect. When the time comes, you can explain it to Uncle Huang yourself."<

/p>

The prefect's body suddenly trembled.

On the bow of the boat, looking at Xiao Yeyang with a straight face and a serious expression, Dong Yuanyao pulled Daohua's sleeve: "When the young prince doesn't smile, he is quite scary."

Daohua looked at it carefully, pursed her lips and did not respond.

Maybe it was because she was too familiar with Xiao Yeyang, or maybe she had seen Xiao Yeyang as a beggar. Anyway, she was not very afraid of him.

Soon, Xiao Yeyang came back, looked at Daohua and the two of them smiled and said: "Okay, my errands are done. When I go back, the boat can drive slower and just enjoy the scenery."
p>

"Okay!"

Daohua and Dong Yuanyao are good at it. They came out this time just for a ride.

On the way, Daohua and the other three were standing on the deck chatting and joking, when they suddenly heard a cry of surprise from the shore. When they looked out, they found that a river bank suddenly sunk, and several people passing by fell directly into the water.<

/p>

Xiao Yeyang immediately asked someone to stop the boat, and asked a boy who knew how to swim to get into the water to rescue the person, and then prepared to go to the back of the boat and watch in person.

Daohua and Dong Yuanyao wanted to follow, but were stopped by Xiao Yeyang.

"The stern of the boat is narrow and messy. Don't go over there, or you may fall into the river."

Daohua said quickly: "Then you should be more careful yourself."

Xiao Yeyang nodded, turned and left.

While Daohua and Dong Yuanyao were waiting for the news, another call came from ahead.

Daohua immediately looked over and found that the river bank in front of her had collapsed, and two old people fell into the water at once.

"Hurry, save people quickly."

Everyone on the deck looked at it in panic, and then said: "Miss Yan, those who know how to swim have gone to the back to save people, and none of us can."
