"Mrs. Wang, how are you, but you found it?"
Zhang Cong has been uneasy since Li Yuan and the others talked to him yesterday until now.
No one knows better than him how important this batch of supplies is to the people of Liuyun County at this moment.
"found it!"
Wang Can nodded affirmatively, and when she saw Li Qinghua, Old Man Li and others coming together, she added another sentence.
"The place is a bit far away, a bit close to Dayun River."
When Old Man Li heard this, he looked into the carriage and then asked, "Can Niang, are you the only one coming back? Where is Yuan Niang?"
"Sir, my brother-in-law has prepared a lot of things. My sister is guarding them over there."
Zhang Cong couldn't wait. Hearing this, he turned his head and looked at Li Qinghua: "Clan Chief Li, as you said during the day, first lend me your horse-drawn carriage and bullock cart."
Li Qinghua nodded: "Well, I told everyone that if you want it, I will make it available for you at any time. But Zhang Captou, even if you transport everything back, how are you going to transport it back to Liuyun County from here?"
Zhang Cong thought about it carefully, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Since that side is close to the Dayun River, I might as well go there to build a boat. Anyway, the dam has been destroyed now, and Liuyun County is flooded like that, so there is no need to worry about the water. There is a gap. Now it is much faster to go back through the river than the official road! In this way, the oxen and horse-drawn carriages are no longer needed!"
As he said that, he looked at Wang Can: "I'm going to call the brothers now. Madam Wang, please be more diligent and take me there later."
"Well, as long as you don't let me catch the bus, you can do it at any time."
"Don't worry, Madam Wang, I'll catch the carriage!"
After all, the carriage that night was not driven by Zhang Cong, but by Bai Yan.
When he took people away, he also took a lot of things with him.
There are rice, flour and whole grains, clothing to keep out the cold, and wild vegetables.
These were all things that the people of Lijia'ao squeezed out from what they already had, knowing that he was leaving.
In the eyes of the people of Lijia'ao, Liuyun County is their hometown. Even if they have nothing to eat, they are still better than those who suffered the disaster.
If they eat less, others can drink more.
They are going to Luyang Mansion all the way, and they don't have many things with them. They can help as much as they can now.
Because of this friendship, Zhang Cong and the thirty or so senior men left with red eyes.
They all know that it is not easy for the Lijiaao people themselves.
Although the gift was not much, the courtesy was light but the affection was heavy, especially at this moment.
The material handover between Li Yuan and Zhang Cong went smoothly!
This Zhuangzi was close to the Dayun River, so there were no people around, so she was extremely relieved when she released the things.
After Zhang Cong arrived, she made a list based on the supplies she took out, and then followed the list and went through it one by one with Zhang Cong.
After confirming that everything was correct, he and Wang Can got on the carriage driven by Bai Yan and headed back.
What Li Yuan didn't know was that not long after she left, because she had obtained the supplies, she was thinking about whether to find a way to get two ships first to transport a batch of supplies back to Zhang Cong in Yun County, on the other side of the Dayun River. , met the newly appointed Judge Kong.
Wang Can, who was in the carriage at that time, was next to her and asked softly: "Sister, why do I feel that the things you gave me are more than the 70% we said before?"
"Well! The disaster in Liuyun County is serious, and we don't know when the relief materials from the court will arrive. It's not easy for the people, so we can help as much as we can. I have space, even if the crops inside grow slowly, There will be a day when I grow up. And if I give out an extra kilogram of rice, I can save one more person. Now those are the limits of what I can give. Can Niang, I have a clear conscience and I have tried my best!"
Wang Can didn't say anything, just patted her back, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.
Sister Yuan is so kind. She worked so hard to save all the supplies and donated them all without blinking an eye.
There are really not many people in this world who can do this.
Sister, she is indeed the one chosen by God!
*
The people from Lijia'ao did not stay much in Dankou Village.
After Zhang Cong, Wang Can and others left, Li Qinghua left a month's worth of rations for the five people in Dankou Village according to his previous plan, and then took everyone on the road again.
I don’t know if it was because the road was muddy and difficult to walk on. Although I was still walking in heavy rain this time and there was not much water on the road, my speed was much slower than before.
In the continuous heavy rain, no one seems to want to go out. Even if they do, most of them are in a hurry.
Bai Yan knew the route Li Qinghua and the others took, so Li Yuan and Wang Can caught up with them that day without falling too far behind.
It was just evening when they arrived, and the people in Lijia'ao were resting in an open place.
And around him, there were many people with sallow complexions who looked extremely thin.
Those people wore broken bamboo hats on their heads and thin wet clothes on their bodies. Ever since they met the people in Lijiaao, they followed them at a short distance.
The people from Lijia'ao left, they left.
The people in Lijia'ao stopped, they stopped.
When the Li family'ao people were eating, they stared at them without making a sound.
This left everyone at a loss as to what to do and wanted to chase people away, but the road was not theirs, and they could not do anything where they wanted to go or stand.
I don’t know if it was because of the arrival of Li Yuan’s carriage that this strange tranquility was broken.
Before she could speak, an anxious-looking woman with a thin child in her arms rushed to Li Yuan's carriage and knelt down.
"Good man, my child is about to die. Please do a good thing and give it to the one who stutters!"
Because it was close to its destination, Bai Yan's carriage was not moving very fast.
Even so, the woman's behavior shocked her.
He hurriedly pulled on the reins, and after avoiding people, he looked at the woman fiercely and said: "Go away if you want to die. Don't come here to seek bad luck with me!"
In the middle of the open space, Li Qinghua, who had been sitting in the carriage unable to eat, heard the noise and came over.
The people who were originally surrounding him, perhaps knowing that he was the person in charge of this group of people, also gathered around him.
Seeing this, Bai Yan took out his riding whip and threw it to the ground fiercely. Then he stood on the shaft of the carriage and looked down at those people.
"If you want to die, just come closer!"
He could clearly see the greed and desire in those people's eyes.
Although this kind of person is pitiful, he knows better than anyone else that he must not easily sympathize with him, nor can he make such a start.
Once they get started, they are the ones who end up being pitied.
Even though there are few people on the other side, the evil in some people's hearts is beyond the imagination of simple people like Li Jia'ao.
As soon as Li Yuan and Wang Can got out of the carriage, they saw the looking eyes of those people.
Some are curious, some are inquiring, and some are full of malice.
"Can Niang, don't be afraid!"
Noticing Wang Can's slightly trembling body, Li Yuan held her hand tightly and comforted her softly.
She knew that this girl was probably thinking about the bad experiences she had in her previous life!
"Sister, as long as you are here, I won't be afraid!"
