Chapter 226 The Dying Surname
"Modan, Maodan, did you hear my voice?"
"Mao Dan, come out quickly, the government is giving out porridge today, let's go get the porridge together, with the porridge spot, we won't starve to death!"
In a small alley at the corner of the street, there was a side door, and the door panel was slapped.
There were two figures, an old and a young, lying on the kang inside the house. If you observe carefully under the dim light in the room, you will find that the old is lying upright, while the young is slightly curled up, obviously cold.
A broken quilt, in this frigid weather, even if wrapped around the body, it can't resist the cold.
Maodan fell into a drowsy sleep, as if a call came from a distant place, the voice was so far away that he didn't even want to pay attention to it!
it's too cold!
He can't move!
In the end, the shouting stopped, but the knocking on the door kept going, it was very annoying!
Trying to open his eyes to see who is so annoying, but he tried hard to open his eyes but he couldn't open them, his eyelids seemed to be heavy and heavy!
"Clap clap clap!"
"Damn!"
Mao Dan finally opened his eyes this time, looking at the blindingly white light from the window, he squinted his eyes, but soon there was another knock on the door.
"Damn! Dick"
The woman outside the door is Maodan's next-door neighbor, a kind-hearted aunt named Aunt Chun.
Aunt Chun is just like her name, getting along with people is always as comfortable as a spring breeze.
"Grandma, will Mao Dan starve to death like his grandma?"
After hearing this, Aunt Chun's heart skipped a beat, and panting, she yelled to the side twice: "Bah, you kid can say anything, how can you say such nonsense!"
Shi Shi covered his stomach and said in disbelief, "Why am I talking nonsense? If he is still angry, how come he doesn't respond to you calling so many times?"
Aunt Chun was dumbfounded.
At the same time, I muttered in my heart, don't really follow in his grandma's footsteps!
Shitou was so hungry that he ran out of patience and urged, "Grandma, the corpse won't smell bad even if you die in this weather, let's queue up to get the porridge and wait any longer. It's too late, you should collect the corpse for your grandson." !"
"You child. How do you talk?" Aunt Chun couldn't explain it all, and she couldn't bear to beat her. The child was so hungry that the only ones who cared about her were the elders.
On such a day, not to mention the child, even she herself was dizzy from hunger, knocking on the door and yelling just now seemed to take a lot of effort, and she was so weak that she broke out in a cold sweat.
Aunt Chun leaned on the wall and said weakly: "Shitou, hold on for a while, grandma needs to rest."
Mao Dan struggled to get up from the kang, but he fell down again just a little bit, not eating for a few days had consumed his body's energy, but the short distance from the kang to the door seemed to be separated by a ravine. It feels like I can't get past this life.
Falling down on the bed, his eyes could not help but fall on the grandma next to him, and the tears in his eyes rolled down unsatisfactorily.
The poor grandma passed away three days ago. He wanted to ask the neighbors for help so that grandma could be buried in the ground, but no one had food. Who would have the energy to dig a pit to bury a dead person?
What's more, it's freezing cold today, and the soil is frozen, and ordinary people can't dig it, let alone the neighbors who are so hungry that they can only breathe.
Aunt Chun, grandson and grandson walked to the porridge place, and the people in the county town had already lined up in a long line. Everyone was holding a big bowl and moving slowly.
When Xia Jing came over, she saw the scene in front of her. A group of people in ragged clothes poured out from the streets and alleys in all directions. It may be a bit exaggerated to say that the people are so hungry that they don’t even have the strength to walk normally. Moved out slowly.
Every step seemed to exhaust all the strength of their bodies. Under the instructions of the officers and soldiers, everyone lined up to receive the porridge in an orderly manner.
Judging from their skinny appearance, it can be seen that the people have not had a good life in these years of disasters, and they are wandering on the edge of life and death every day.
Xia Jing stared at the scene in front of her eyes, and asked Ye Fei beside her, "How long can a few hundred tans of food last?"
Ye Fei was in a serious mood, and after listening to his master's question, he replied: "If you cook porridge for the people in the city with hundreds of tans of grain, you can probably last for three days."
Three days later, if there is no food supplement, these people will face the threat of starving to death again!
The main reason is that the food they could barely hold on to until the spring blossoms was plundered by the rebels. The rebels ate and drank when they had food, which led to the shortage of food in the city. The rebels went to the next county or the next county The act of grabbing food.
Xia Jing nodded: "Let's serve porridge according to the normal situation for the time being, if there is not enough food, we will think of other ways."
When the two walked to the porridge shed, Xia Jing noticed that the dry firewood in the stove was mixed with wet firewood, and the smoke from the wet firewood was a bit heavy due to the high humidity.
The smoke in front of the stove and the water vapor from the hot porridge combine to make the porridge shed smoky.
"Not enough dry firewood?"
When the porridge cook heard the question, he turned his head and saw Xia Jing, and quickly put down his spoon to kowtow to her.
Ye Fei quickly supported him, and did not let him kneel down in front of outsiders, "Exempt all the red tape for the time being, get up quickly, so as not to cause misunderstandings by others."
You must know that you are in the enemy's base camp at this time, who knows if there are any enemies hiding in the dark in the county?
Ordinary assassins really can't get close to her, Xia Jing saw Ye Fei was so nervous, she smiled and didn't speak.
Just as the soldiers turned around and continued cooking porridge, there was a commotion in the ranks of the people in front.
"Go and see what's going on in front?" Xia Jing glanced at Ye Fei.
Ye Fei signaled the soldiers standing guard next to him to go and have a look.
Not long after, the soldiers ran over and reported: "Master, Captain Ye, a woman in the front line passed out from hunger, and someone is pinching her."
"Hungry and dizzy?" Xia Jing was stunned for a moment, and urged the soldiers: "Then what are you waiting for, help me get half a bowl of porridge and let her drink it first!"
Only half a bowl of hot porridge can be cooled quickly, and people who are hungry and dizzy can't eat too much at one time, half a bowl is just right.
After all, Xia Jing walked out of the porridge shed in one step, and walked over in three steps at a time.
Fortunately, the fainting woman and the porridge that can fill the stomach are obviously more attractive to the latter, and the concern for the woman is only a few neighbors he knows.
Xia Jing walked over, knelt down and felt the woman's pulse. It was very weak, showing how hungry the woman was. I believe that if she didn't eat, she might just fall asleep.
Seeing Xia Jing squatting down, the other people around the woman quickly took a step back. Xia Jing was dressed in a military suit. From the appearance, it was a bit confusing for a moment.
At this time, the soldiers came over with porridge, and when they arrived, he even blew.
Seeing this, another woman standing next to her hurriedly knelt down to support her, and the soldier slowly fed the porridge into her mouth.
The woman sensed that there was food in her mouth and swallowed instinctively.
After she took a few sips of porridge, Xia Jing pinched her. It didn't take long for the woman to wake up.
Xia Jing looked at her in a trance just after waking up, so she waved her hand in front of her eyes: "Is it better?"
The woman who fainted was Aunt Chun. Now she recollected the taste in her mouth, and replied weakly: "Well, it's much better, thank you."
Seeing that she still knew how to thank her at this time, Xia Jing immediately had a better impression of her, and said with a smile, "Drink the rest of the porridge when you wake up."
After hearing this, the soldier carrying the porridge bowl immediately sent the remaining porridge to Aunt Chun, "Drinking it will give you strength."
Aunt Chun's eyes were hot for a while, and she thanked with choked up: "Thank you, it's really rude to be dizzy from hunger at the end, and let everyone see a joke."
Everyone waved their hands, indicating that it was okay.
Aunt Chun took the porridge bowl, only then did she think of her grandson: "Stone!"
"Grandma, I'm here!"
Xia Jing followed the voice and saw a little boy squeezed in the crowd, only his head was exposed, and his clean face was flushed.
"It's fine if you don't throw it away, grandma is afraid that you might lose it, so come over and have some porridge!" Aunt Chun waved her hand weakly at Shitou.
Shitou is a child after all, when he heard that there was porridge to drink, he immediately stopped queuing up and squeezed out, trotting to Aunt Chun's side.
Xia Jing looked at his state, and knew that Shitou was favored at home, and he was not hungry, otherwise, how could a really hungry person move when he saw food?
Xia Jing looked at the little brat running over, and asked the soldiers to come over with a bowl of porridge.
Seeing how Xia Jing took care of them, the grandparents wanted to kneel down and kowtow in gratitude.
Xia Jing stopped the grandparents and grandson, and said: "Your body is important, don't kneel on the snow, it's not good for your knees, and this sister, don't sit on the snow, it's too cold!"
The grandparents and grandchildren drank a bowl of porridge under the care of the soldiers. After eating a bowl of hot porridge, they felt warm all over.
Shi Shi licked the bowl clean in front of Xia Jing, then blinked and asked, "Madam, can I have another bowl?"
When Aunt Chun heard her grandson's words, she didn't even have time to stop her, "Shitou, what did grandma teach you? You can't force what you don't have!"
Xia Jing didn't care, but was worried that the little boy's stomach would not be able to bear it, "Stone, your stomach is swollen and you haven't digested it yet. If you drink again, can your stomach take it?"
Shitou scratched his head, and said a little embarrassedly: "Ma'am, I don't want this bowl of porridge for me, it's for Maodan!"
Aunt Chun was very relieved that the child also knew how to share food and care about his companions.
But speaking of Mao Dan, it's been so long since he got up, I don't know if he woke up?
"Maodan is the child next door to our house. His father died in an accident at a young age, and his mother left him and remarried. The current situation at home makes people dare not look directly at him."
After listening to Aunt Chun's introduction, Xia Jing smiled and asked Shi Shi: "You want another bowl of porridge for Mao Dan to eat, are you willing?"
Shitou glanced at Aunt Chun, turned around and said, "I'm willing, Mao Dan is now the only one left in the family when his grandma has passed away. It's so pitiful. I want to take care of him!"
"Okay, let this uncle bring another bowl." Xia Jing rubbed the top of Shi Shi's head, and then asked Aunt Chun: "What's the situation with the hairy egg in your mouth?"
Aunt Chun then recounted what had happened at Maodan's house in the past few days, and finally said: "Poor child, the grandparents and grandchildren could have depended on each other for life, but now grandma left first, leaving the child Maodan alive. I wonder if he can grow up smoothly?"
She knocked on the door for a long time this morning, but she didn't see him come to open the door. She didn't know if she was starved to death?
Xia Jing was very worried when she heard about Mao Dan's situation, and sent two soldiers to check on the situation. If Mao Dan didn't starve to death, she would let him drink some porridge and help him bury his grandmother.
It is not known how many people in the county are in the same situation as hairy eggs. Xia Jing teamed up to clean up the entire county. Whenever you encounter people who fainted from hunger, save them if you can. If you are a step late and your body is stiff, then There is no way but to deal with it.
On the evening of the second day, Shi Ruo came on a fast horse from outside the city riding snow, galloped to the county government office at night, and shouted before he got off the horse, "Is your mother in the government office?"
The soldier standing guard at the door nodded: "Your Majesty is in the study."
Ye Bushou didn't have time to say a few polite words, and rushed into the county office: "Your Majesty!"
Ye Fei opened the study door, frowned and reprimanded in a low voice: "How is it proper to yell? You are so noisy, does your boss know?"
Night does not accept: "."
"Okay, Ye Fei, let him come in to keep warm, he must be so impatient that he has important military information to report!"
Ye Fei walked away expressionlessly, no one knew the grievance in his heart, he was not afraid that this person would disturb Xia Jing, but worried that he had wronged her.
Ye Bushou entered the study room, greeted Xia Jing, and then said: "I found traces of the rebels in the north and south of the county seat. According to their marching route, it is possible that the rebels who went out to search for the people's fat and people's anointing have returned!"
Xia Jing was surprised when she heard this, "Why did they come back so soon?"
Ye Fei smiled and said: "It should be that they have grabbed the food, otherwise why would they be willing to come back so soon."
Xia Jing looked at Ye Bushou: "Explore again!"
Seeing Ye Bushou gallop away again, Xia Jing looked at Ye Fei: "You are mainly responsible for our side this time. Do you know which teams to arrange to intercept?"
Ye Fei looked serious, thought for a while, and said: "I know, the current rebels are suffering from famine. I thought they didn't have much fighting power. Now that they are hungry, their fighting power will be even worse. Master, don't worry!"
What's more, the rebels who went out to search for food were scattered, so there was nothing to be afraid of!
There is a slightly higher mountain thirty miles outside the county seat. In this kind of place, lying in the snow must be a pain.
The rebels never thought that the court soldiers would come at this time. They did not take precautions and let the court soldiers succeed for a while.
With a team of thousands of people, against the hundreds of rebels, the soldiers of the imperial court shook a new ceiling as soon as they went out to fight.
The same goes for the other road back to the city.
The rebel team returned with a full load of food, and chatted happily all the way. When they returned to the county seat, what kind of dishes would they cook to drink and celebrate.
However, while they were chatting and thinking about it, they accidentally slipped into the encirclement of the court soldiers and horses.
When the first arrow was stuck in the chest of the companion, the other rebels reacted.
"Ah, enemy attack! There is an enemy attack!"
The team immediately lost its organizational structure, and the rebels were in chaos for a while.
But fortunately, no matter how scumbag the rebel team was, despite the initial panic, they still knew how to find cover for themselves.
For a while, some of the rebels were lying on the snow, some were hiding behind the big trees, and some were running around like headless chickens.
