Of course it would be nice to eat rabbits, but the question is whether they can be caught.
Li Ping'an couldn't give Xiao Ruyi a definite answer. He just said: "Let's see if we can catch it tomorrow. Xiao Ruyi went to bed quickly and told Grandpa Mountain God to give you a rabbit in his dream, okay?"
"Okay!" Xiao Ruyi immediately closed her eyes, but after a while she opened them again, "Big Guo, when can we go home? Sleeping here is not comfortable at all."
Jixiang also said: "Brother, I miss my little bed so much."
"Brother, I also want to go home." Xinglong followed.
"It's coming, it's coming, we can go down the mountain when the flood recedes." Li Ping'an could only comfort them, "Go to sleep, and the day will pass as soon as you wake up. As each day passes, the flood will recede."
"Yeah, well, Ruyi is going to sleep. Ruyi also wants to tell Grandpa Mountain God to let the big bad guy Hong Hong go away!"
Seeing them all closing their eyes, Li Pingan turned his head and glanced down the mountain. He didn't know how many days it would take for the flood to recede.
…
At this moment, there is a person far away in the capital who is concerned about when the flood will recede.
In the well-organized imperial city, on the platform in front of the East Palace Hall, a richly dressed young man stood facing the south with his hands behind his back, his noble face full of worry, mixed with anger.
For a long time, he sighed sadly.
It was urgently reported the day before yesterday that many places in Yuanzhou, Zhenzhou, and Huzhou suffered heavy rains that had not been seen in decades, and the water level of Jinjiang River surged. Today's emergency report is that a large area of Jinjiang has burst, and seven states on both sides of the Taiwan Strait have been severely affected. The losses and casualties are unknown.
My father, who was in poor health and was recuperating, was so furious when he saw the report today that he fell into a coma on the spot and has not woken up to this day.
Disaster relief should have been started immediately, but many ministers in the court were only concerned about the safety of their father, so they were summoned to discuss relief matters. Since they were all together, His Majesty, it was up to His Majesty to make the decision.
How could he not see their little thoughts? Since the founding of Dajing, they have fought for years to reunify the country, and the army went out again in the spring of this year. The country has not rested, and the areas recovered have been taxed and reduced to the people's hearts. Now the national treasury Already in deficit, the court could not come up with money or food at all.
When food is collected from various places, no one knows how many refugees will starve to death. Moreover, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the seven states. How much food do they need, and how many can be saved?
No one is stupid, they all know that this is a thankless task, and no one wants to take it on.
In the evening, another secret guard came to report, and rumors spread in the capital, saying that the floods occurred only a few months after the prince had been in charge of the country. This was a warning from God that the prince was immoral. What's more, it is said that this is God's punishment for his father who rebelled and rose to power when he was a minister.
He didn't know where the rumors came from, but he knew that there were many people staring at the throne, and many of them were extremely ambitious. They were looking forward to his father's death and wanted to imitate his father's actions back then.
However, these careerists never thought that they should first save the people from the disaster. They only thought of using this disaster to realize their ambitious ambitions.
The young prince's face changed, he thought about it, and finally made up his mind, turned around and called the chamberlain, hurriedly walked down the white stone steps and walked into the night.
Someone has to do things. Since the courtiers have different ideas and are unwilling to take over, then the East Palace will go to the disaster relief in person. The people of the Dajing Dynasty are still waiting for the court to send people to rescue.
…
The next morning, a ray of sunshine broke through the dark clouds and shone on the roof of the thatched shed.
The weather that had been hazy for days finally cleared up, and the villagers cheered as if they had seen hope, with vibrant smiles on their faces, and they seemed particularly energetic when talking and doing things.
Li Ping'an also looked happy, but not long after, he suddenly thought that the sun coming out was not a good thing. As the temperature rose, the body would decay faster and bacteria would breed more easily. And people's demand for water will increase.
But then I thought about it, a large number of cases proved that germs are not easy to survive and spread in hot weather.
Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore, I have to accept it no matter what. Is it possible that he can still put the sun back?
Xu Shi saw hope of survival. When Chen Song told the villagers that he planned to organize Qingzhuang to follow Zhang Yu into the mountains to dig traps and hunt, after analyzing the pros and cons, many villagers responded.
Li Ping'an also found that among the villagers who responded were the ones who shamelessly asked him for venison yesterday. Those men also noticed that Li Ping'an was looking at them and glared at them.
That seems to be saying: Don’t think that you can catch the prey, we can too!
Li Ping'an smiled and nodded towards them.
Of course, there are also people who are unwilling, either because they are afraid of an accident, or they have already planned their way out and are just waiting to go down the mountain, or for other reasons. Chen Song didn't give much advice on this. He had already figured it out. It was unrealistic to save everyone. Only those who wanted to save themselves could work together to find a way out. Those who wanted to sit back and enjoy the gains could forcefully Pulling the team in will only make the team fall apart faster.
It seemed that it suddenly came alive. Zhang Yu told them what to pay attention to, and then nearly a hundred strong men went into the mountain happily. Birds flew up from the forest with flapping wings in fright.
"There are so many birds!" Li Ping'an said in surprise, "Zhang Xiaoshan, let's go find the bird's nest!"
"It's so dark, how can you find it!" Zhang Xiaoshan complained, the sunlight couldn't even shine through in the forest, and it was all dark when you looked up, making it impossible to see clearly.
Li Ping'an suddenly felt embarrassed and quickly changed the subject, "Then let's go see our trap. Last night I told Xiao Ruyi a story about a rabbit. She wanted to eat a rabbit, so she asked me to catch one."
"You really have nothing to do. You just tell her a rabbit story. If she wants to eat a rabbit, you can catch it for her. Then when she wants to eat a tiger, can you catch a tiger for her?" He said this, but Zhang Xiaoshan was very honest and followed Li Ping'an into the woods.
Although a large army had just passed by, Li Ping'an was still more cautious when walking in front. While observing the surroundings vigilantly, he said to Zhang Xiaoshankou: "You don't need me to fight the tiger. Maybe your dad and my dad will raise the tiger today." A tiger came out."
"You really dare to think!"
"Cowards, don't even think about it."
"???"
Zhang Xiaoshan was very sad. Why did he break the defense first every time he argued with Li Ping'an?
When he arrived at the trap, Li Ping'an immediately became happy. He lay on the ground and reached in to lift up a rabbit that was feeling cold. He said to Zhang Xiaoshan in a sullen voice: "Did you see it? Dare to think about it. Just now, I was talking about rabbit." Well, isn’t there a rabbit here?”
"Could it be that?"
"You're so big! It's not enough to have a rabbit, do you really want a tiger? Don't be so greedy, okay?"
"Isn't that what you said? You also said you have to dare to think!"
"In this moment and here, people should not be too greedy and be content with what they have, Zhang Xiaoshan."
"I won't talk to you anymore. I'm so angry!" Zhang Xiaoshan groaned angrily and squatted down with his arms folded, and disguised the trap mouth again. "This trap has been harvested for two days in a row. It must be our blessed place."
Not hearing Li Pingan's response, he turned around worriedly and saw Li Pingan looking at him with a smile. He suddenly became angry and said, "Why are you silent? I thought something happened to you."
Li Pingan blinked narrowly, "Are you talking to me?"
"No! I'm talking to that dead rabbit in your hand!" This dead Li Pingan will only make me angry! You might as well make me so angry that you can sweep one more grave!
