Chapter 179 Surviving little girl

In addition to the governor and the prosecutor, the provincial-level leaders also have the commander commander, who is in charge of the military affairs of the province. Together with the governor and the Censor Office, the Censor Office, are called the "Three Divisions". This army has little to do with Yang Qiuchi, so Master Jin said that he would not have to visit for the time being, and he would talk about it when there is something to do in the future.

In addition, Huguang Wuchang Prefecture also has a thousand household office for the Jinyiwei. Although the leader Qianyiwei is only a fifth-rank, his identity is special. Even the governor and the criminal envoy dare not underestimate him. However, the identity of the commander and special envoy of the Jinyiwei of Yang Qiuchi cannot be revealed until he has no choice, so the thousand households will not visit him.

After leaving the Criminal Office, Song Yuner asked Yang Qiuchi where to go below.

All those who should be visited have been visited, and the rest is to visit local attractions and tolerant tourism.

This is the first time Yang Qiuchi has been to Wuchang. He has to have fun. The place he wants to go the most is of course Huanghe Tower, which is a famous scenic spot. It is the object of many literati and poets chanting. But it is already afternoon and I am hungry, so I should find food first and go to climb Huanghe Tower tomorrow.

Speaking of what to eat, Yang Qiuchi remembered that Mr. Mao had a poem that said, "I just drank Changsha water and ate Wuchang fish. The Yangtze River crossed thousands of miles and looked at Chu Tianshu." When I came to Wuchang, I must eat this Wuchang fish.

Wuchang fish has been famous since ancient times. According to the "Three Kingdoms" records: Sun Hao, the Lord of Wu, wanted to move the capital from Jianye (the ancient city is in the south of today's Nanjing City). The people were unwilling to do so. There was a nursery rhyme saying: "I would rather drink Jianye water than eat Wuchang fish." Cen Shen, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, also had a famous saying "I remember Wuchang fish twice in autumn, but my dream soul is only on Baling Road."

Yang Qiuchi said immediately: "Let's find a restaurant in Linjiang and eat Wuchang fish!" Everyone said yes.

Yang Qiuchi and others walked to the Yangtze River, found a large restaurant, and went to the second floor of the elegant hall. From here, you can see the rolling Yangtze River in the distance, which really tasted like Chairman Mao’s "eyed at Chu Tianshu".

Now that the hungry people are everywhere, business is not easy to do. When seeing a large group of people coming up with Yang Qiuchi, the restaurant shopkeeper was overjoyed and extremely enthusiastic.

When I heard that Yang Qiuchi wanted to eat Wuchang fish, the shopkeeper boasted proudly: "Customer, you have come to the right place. The Wuchang fish made in our restaurant is the best in the entire Wuchang Mansion. The fish made in the fish are smooth and refreshing, and the fragrance is so fragrant. You can't forget it after eating it once, and I want to come for the second time. Now there is a famine. The business is not good. If it were in previous years, the Wuchang fish in our restaurant was in short supply and could not be eaten if it came late."

When Yang Qiuchi heard him say something, his index fingers twitched and kept urging him to serve the food soon.

After a while, the banquet was served. The main dish was steamed Wuchang fish. Of course, several exquisite vegetarian dishes were prepared for Bai Sumei, and they were told to wash them in a special clean vegetarian wok. Specially made by vegetarian chefs, and no meat can stick to them.

Yang Qiuchi called everyone to move their chopsticks and chewed them voraciously.

Suddenly, she found that Song Yun'er was leaning against the window railing without moving her chopsticks. Yang Qiuchi asked, "Yun'er. Why don't you eat?"

Song Yuner pointed to the beggars and hungry people lying on both sides of the street downstairs, and those who were selling their daughters with grass tags. She sighed and said, "Looking at their miserable appearance, I really can't eat."

Yang Qiuchi felt a little embarrassed and ordered the restaurant shopkeeper to prepare a big pot of porridge for him to provide to the hungry people downstairs. The shopkeeper repeatedly agreed and kept praising Yang Qiuchi's kindness in his house. Song Yuner was very happy when she saw Yang Qiuchi feeling her thoughts.

After a while, the porridge was ready. Hundreds of hungry people on the street heard that the restaurants were putting porridge, and they all surrounded them. They were all poor people, so they didn't fight for it. They lined up to receive the porridge, and the line was long.

When Yang Qiuchi and the others finished eating, the porridge was also divided. There were still many hungry people who had not received it.

Yang Qiuchi looked apologetically at the hungry people downstairs who looked at him pitifully with their heads raised, sighing that his ability was limited and he could not help so many people.

At this time, a little girl lying on the street attracted Yang Qiuchi's attention. The little girl was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a yellow face and a thin, fluffy and dirty hair, and a grass mark on it. She lay on the street without moving. The patrol officers and soldiers walked over and kicked her to see if she was dead. Only then did she move with difficulty.

The place where the restaurant gave the porridge was not far from her, but she obviously didn't get the porridge, and she might not even have the strength to get up. It seems that the girl is dying and dying.

There were two middle-aged men and women lying next to the little girl. Because they were lying in a relatively low position, the officers and soldiers on patrol did not kick them. However, from their strange posture, Yang Qiuchi could conclude that the two middle-aged men and women were probably dead.

The middle-aged woman held a skinny little boy in her arms with one hand, and she was still motionless. The woman held the little girl's hand tightly with the other hand. It seemed that this was a family.

Before his death, the mother was still protecting her children. This maternal love deeply shocked Yang Qiuchi. He turned around and ran downstairs.

Everyone didn't know what he was going to do, so Song Yuner quickly got up and chased after him. Nangong Xiong followed Yang Qiuchi downstairs and came to the street with a few guards.

A street was filled with hungry people everywhere. The cold wind was cold and the hungry people were trembling.

Yang Qiuchi came to the little girl, grabbed her hand and shook it, feeling her hand cold. The little girl opened her eyes hard and looked at Yang Qiuchi, then fell asleep again.

She was still alive, and Yang Qiuchi shook the child in the middle-aged woman's arms again, but she didn't respond. She reached out and touched the child's carotid artery. There was no pulsation, and the middle-aged man and woman could not feel the pulse.

Yang Qiuchi turned their eyelids and squeezed their eyes with his hands. Seeing that their pupils that had been squeezed and deformed did not return to a circle, Yang Qiuchi's heart sank. He moved their jaws with his hands and could feel that the zombie zombie had appeared. From this, it was confirmed that the middle-aged man and woman and the little boy in their arms were dead.

Song Yuner said sadly: "Brother, they are so pitiful, let's save them."

Yang Qiuchi was just thinking about this and nodded: "Come on, carry this little girl into the restaurant."

"What about her parents?" Song Yun'er said.

Yang Qiuchi shook his head: "They are dead. The boy in his arms is dead, too." He turned to Nangong Xiong and said, "Send someone to call the patrol officers and soldiers to take their bodies and bury them."

It is estimated that there are so many hungry people now, including starving, sick, frozen to death, and executed by robbing food. The government may have dug a pit of people and thrown into it, and then filled it with soil and buried it.

Song Yun'er didn't care about the dirty little girl's body, and hugged the weak little girl horizontally in her arms, as if nothing had happened, quickly walked into the restaurant.

Back at the second floor, Yang Qiuchi told the shopkeeper to take a quilt and ask Song Yuner to take off the little girl's ragged coat, wear only a close-fitting coat, and wrap it in a quilt. At the same time, he asked the shopkeeper to make porridge and put it on the little girl.

After having food, the little girl became a little energetic. She drank a bowl of rice and signaled her to add it. Song Yun'er wanted to add a bowl of rice for her to eat. The little maid Yuechan hurriedly stopped her and said that she would be able to die of dying. In the past, there was a famine in their village. Some people were extremely hungry after getting disaster relief food. They quickly cooked it and ended up dying. So at the beginning, they couldn't eat too much at one time, especially too dry.

Song Yun'er had never rescued the hungry person. After hearing Yue Chan's words, she looked at the little girl's eager eyes and was very hesitant and didn't know what to do. She looked at Yang Qiuchi.

Yang Qiuchi nodded: "Yuechan is right, take your time, rub her hands and feet first, let her drink some rice soup, and then feed porridge after her stomach slowly recovers. When she can move freely, then eat rice."

After receiving Yang Qiuchi's instructions, Song Yuner felt at ease and let the room burn and the quilt be tightly wrapped. Then Song Yuner and the little maid Yuechan kept rubbing the little girl's palms and soles.

After drinking a bowl of porridge, the little girl fell asleep for a while and woke up. She said she was thirsty. Yang Qiuchi ordered him to drink a small bowl of rice soup.

After a while, the little girl's eyes gradually became more and more vivid, and she said in a weak voice: "Thank you, uncle, thank you, Miss - where is my parents? And my brother?"

Song Yuner rubbed her hands and said apologetically: "It's dead."

The little girl started to cry sadly.

The little maid Yuechan comforted softly: "Don't cry, you're dead, what's the use of crying? It's important to take care of your own body now." While rubbing her cold feet, she continued: "Don't worry, our young master is so kind, and he will definitely save your life."

The little girl cried and said, "I'm grateful to you for helping you, Aloe Vera."

"Aloe Vera? Your name is aloe Vera?" Yang Qiuchi said.

The little girl nodded.

Yang Qiuchi thought to himself, why did he get such a name? But it’s no wonder that in the countryside, there is a girl again, so it’s enough to just pick up flowers and plants. Seeing that she was a little energetic, she told her to drink a small bowl of porridge, and add some Wuchang fish meat with thorns.

After working like this for more than half an hour, Aloe's hands and feet slowly warmed up. After drinking the porridge mixed with Wuchang fish, she became energetic. Yang Qiuchi asked Yuechan to go out to buy a few sets of winter clothes for Aloe to wear.

Yang Qiuchi asked, "Aloe Vera, where is your hometown?"

"From Sankeliu Village, De'an Prefecture, Huguang."

"De'an Mansion?" Yang Qiuchi had no impression, and didn't know where De'an Mansion was. He looked at Master Jin.
