Chapter VIII The Wonderful Event in Quanzhou
"Master Qingtian, please let us enter the city."
"Please, please give me some rice water..."
"God, give us a way to survive..."
Liu Yaoyao just listened to the cries and howls of those people and rode the carriage into the city.
She closed her eyes and sat quietly, looking as if she was stunned by the scene just now.
Aunt Bai opened her mouth but said nothing, and she did not see the surging emotions in Liu Yaoyao's peach blossom eyes.
"Hey, sir, do you want to be a top-notch person or stay in a hotel?"
"Stay in the hotel, and the horse must be fed with good concentrate."
"Okay, please come in, ladies and gentlemen!"
When Liu Yaoyao heard Ji Xiang talking to the waiter, she had already packed up her belongings with Aunt Bai.
Of course, she was apparently poor, and she only carried a small baggage when she got off the carriage.
He looked up and saw the handsome young man Tang Jinzhen.
The boy's pupils were as dark as ink, like a bottomless abyss.
The red lips were pursed tightly, adding an air of abstinence to his face that was even more delicate than a woman's.
Liu Yaoyao was so worthless that she swallowed her saliva as she was fascinated by this young man who should be in elementary school in the future.
"First serve a few tables of food for us, and then clean up a yard for us."
Following Ji Xiang's familiar instructions, the waiter wiped the table again with a rag and then went to the kitchen.
Liu Yaoyao sat on the chair, dragging her chin and looking out the window in a daze.
The Quanzhou city is still noisy, with people shopping, people doing business, people carrying burdens selling goods, and there are also girls carrying baskets buying flowers to wear.
No matter how you look at it, it seems like two worlds outside the city, and it is also separated from heaven and hell.
"A few guests, let's have a taste of Longjing before the rain..."
The waiter diligently picked up the teapot and circled around the table. Liu Yaoyao looked at the light green tea soup and felt a little anxious.
Speaking of which, her golden finger warehouse contains countless good things and luxury goods, and even if they are used, they will be quickly replenished.
Thinking of the wailing people outside the city, Liu Yaoyao's eyes suddenly brightened up.
Little did she know how vivid she was in Tang Jinzhen's eyes at this moment.
"Huh? Who is this?"
Liu Yaoyao's peripheral vision drifted away, and she suddenly froze.
As the leader of the team, I was familiar with the number of people and their faces, but unfortunately, I saw unfamiliar faces at the two tables next to them.
Tang Jinzhen replied without even raising her head:
"I left a few of the victims of yesterday's disaster that can be used."
Is there still such an operation?
Liu Yaoyao was shocked and annoyed, and slapped her thigh angrily. Why did she fall asleep?
"If you want something, just pick it yourself."
Liu Yaoyao raised her head and saw Tang Jinzhen's beautiful fox eyes falling on her. She immediately laughed:
"Forget it."
Although I got it for free, I didn’t choose it myself, so I always felt that it was a bit off.
Tang Jinzhen nodded, said nothing, picked up the teacup and looked out the window like Liu Yaoyao did before.
The meal Liu Yaoyao ate was not very tasty, but it was not wasted, but her original thoughts were a little firmer.
After the meal, Jixiang took his entourage out to supply supplies for the journey.
Aunt Bai also led people to count the luggage on the carriage.
She was not lying to Liu Yaoyao. She did pay all the food and some existing loose money last night.
But that was only part of what happened last night.
Aunt Bai, who lowered her eyes to check the book, lost her gentle and considerate attitude in front of Liu Yaoyao, and her lips were slightly lowered, looking a little more inhumane.
But Liu Yaoyao didn't see these. She went back to her room and started messing with the food in the warehouse.
Because they were all packed in a vacuum, Liu Yaoyao had to unpack them one by one.
Mostly rice and millet with only a small amount of red beans and mung beans.
Liu Yaoyao sat on the grain bag and opened it.
After unpacking, I put them into one cloth bag after another that I found from the decorations, repeating the cycle as if they were tireless.
Liu Yaoyao calculated her time and would leave the room every half an hour, lest anyone come to find her and expose her secrets.
This busy work lasted until the moonlight reached the willow branches, and Liu Yaoyao couldn't bear it anymore and went back to bed to sleep.
At dawn the next day, the group of people who had finished their supplies left the city without being inspected.
Liu Yaoyao put her hands by the window, and small grains of rice fell on the ground, and occasionally small bundles fell on the grass on the roadside.
The reason Liu Yaoyao dared to do this was all because of the broken carriages of this era.
There are no shock absorbers or rubber tires, so driving is like riding on a trampoline, and the noise is very loud.
As long as Liu Yaoyao avoids the sight of those followers, everything else won't be a problem.
By the time she finished scattering and throwing away the rice she had taken out last night, it was already bright.
The dazzling and hot sunlight shines on the ground.
Liu Yaoyao glanced up, tears streaming down her face.
Anyway, that's all she can do, that's all...
…………
After Liu Yaoyao and others left, soon after it became bright, someone discovered the fine grains of rice on the ground and the small cloth bag in the grass.
As a result, word of this strange event spread throughout the city of Quanzhou that day.
I don’t know some kind person who did good deeds without leaving his name and left thousands of kilograms of food outside the city.
Some people thought too much and chased Sami directly along the road, but at that time the convoy had already gone a long way.
…………
The chirping of cicadas in summer is sometimes a melody that lulls people to sleep, and sometimes it is a source of irritability.
Liu Yaoyao was lying on the bamboo mat as if she was dead. She felt as if she was on fire every time she breathed and breathed.
Aunt Bai next to her fanned Liu Yaoyao, her face covered with sweat.
Brother Feng, who was driving the carriage on the carriage shaft, just wanted to stick out his tongue, and even the horse was snorting heavily.
The moving convoy seemed to be performing a pantomime, and the silence was terrible.
Sudden:
"Stop, stop, I can't take it anymore, I can't take it anymore, stop the car."
The girl's sweet voice became hoarse and dry, and everyone who listened felt uncomfortable.
"Young master, be patient, even if you want to rest, you have to find a cool place."
Liu Yaoyao lifted the bamboo curtain, her face was red and her peach blossom eyes were moist:
"Where is the cool place? Hurry up and find a shaded area. I'll get some ice to eat. If you keep walking like this, you'll have to get warm."
"What? Make ice?"
"ice?"
"Is there ice?"
Liu Yaoyao: "..." I think you are sick.
After thinking about it, Liu Yaoyao still said hoarsely:
"Go and tell the elder brother that I can make ice. Just find a shady place. In addition, everyone collect the water together..."
Brother Feng felt like he was listening to a story.
He followed the large troops in a daze and parked the carriage, and saw Liu Yaoyao running out in a flash.
"Mother Bai, do you remember where you collected the saltpeter?"
"Brother Jixiang, please find me some copper basins..."
"Everyone, please pour the water together, it will freeze easily."
Liu Yaoyao was busy shouting and secretly smuggling water out of the warehouse.
Some of the saltpeter ice was inedible, so what she could do was secretly add some at times like this.
Everyone doesn't feel hot anymore now.
