MTL - You Are Not In Exile, You Are Clearly Traveling!-Chapter 116 Great changes overnight
Chapter 116: Great changes overnight
Suddenly a spring breeze comes overnight, and thousands of pear trees bloom.
When everyone woke up, they saw a vast expanse of white all around. The ground and treetops were all covered with snow.
“A sneeze!”
"so cold!"
“It’s freezing me to death!”
Everyone huddled in a pile and hid under the trees. They were woken up by the cold in the middle of the night and frantically added firewood, otherwise they would have frozen to death.
They had no idea that winter would come in just one night without any precautions.
“Someone, come quickly!”
“Help!”
At this moment, a woman suddenly shouted.
Everyone turned around and saw a woman holding an old man in her arms. The old man was lying on the ground unconscious. He was obviously unconscious from the cold.
When Xu Tian heard the noise, he ran over quickly and shouted to everyone, "Get out of the way and carry him to the fire together!"
Feeling the coldness on the old man's body and his pulse no longer beating, Xu Tian's face looked very ugly.
"let me see!"
Doctor Yang carried the medicine box on his back and hurried over, followed by Yang Xiaohua. The first thing Mr. Chen saw when he saw it was snowing was that he was worried that someone would freeze to death, so he asked Dr. Yang to help.
The medicine box was bought by Mr. Chen and others in the county. They bought two at that time, one for Dr. Yang and one for Yang Xiaohua.
Xu Tian knew that he was the doctor next to Master Chen, so he quickly got out of the way, and Doctor Yang squatted next to the old man.
After checking it, he sighed, "It's too late, it was already last night..."
The old man’s body has poor resistance and cannot keep up with his nutrition. He has to walk long distances every day and is very exhausted physically and mentally. There was a sudden heavy snowfall last night, and the consequences can be imagined.
Hearing this, the woman immediately hugged the old man’s body and cried loudly, “Dad, dad, don’t leave me alone...Dad...why...”
Xu Tian stood up silently and looked around. There were also wailing sounds from all around. Apparently, more than one person had frozen to death.
“Make the fire bigger and let everyone gather together.” Xu Tian quickly reacted and ordered other officials.
“Also, quickly boil some hot water and cook some food so that everyone can fill their bellies.”
After everyone gathered together, Xu Tian also counted the casualties. Only two people died from the cold, one was an old man and the other was a baby.
Fortunately, the snow did not fall last night. In other words, it should have fallen in the morning.
At that time, everyone was almost awake, so when they felt the snow falling, they had already gathered together to keep warm and made a fire.
Otherwise, the trouble would not be just two people.
When Xu Tian sighed, he was a little thankful, but also a little confused. This place was still a hundred and eighty thousand miles away from Nanman. He didn't know how many of these people could persist to the end.
Shaked his head, not thinking about this, he saw Mr. Chen and others cooking something, and walked over.
Then I saw Mr. Chen and others making **** soup, and then letting children, old men and women drink it first.
“Why!”
Some people were dissatisfied, "Why can they drink it but we can't!"
"Just because we took out these!" Chen Xue said coldly, "We can do with our things how we want!"
"you…"
The man didn't expect Chen Xue to be so direct, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
At this time, Mr. Chen also came out and looked at everyone, "You all have elders, wives and daughters, etc. This **** soup is limited. You should think carefully whether you let your wives and daughters drink it or drink it yourself."
As soon as Mr. Chen said this, everyone naturally chose to give it to his wife, children and the elderly. After all, they were weak.
Of course, there are also people who are selfish and do not give their wives and children but drink them themselves. Such people have long been blacklisted by Mr. Chen.
The snow fell suddenly this time, and no one was prepared. Mr. Chen was responsible for sudden snow disaster relief at the Ministry of Household Affairs.
So, he knew very well the consequences of the sudden snow. If he didn't take action, these people would not survive the next day.
Although he is not the Minister of Household Affairs now, he has the ability to help, so how could he watch these people die in front of his eyes.
Even if some of these people deserve their crimes, many more are innocent.
And he doesn't need to pay a big price. As long as he pays a small price, he can save a group of people. With Mr. Chen's character, how could he not do it.
So, he asked his wife and daughter for their opinions, and after receiving their consent, he made **** soup from the **** that Chen Xue had bought as seeds and seasonings.
After all, it is well known that **** soup can keep out the cold.
It’s just that **** is limited, so the **** soup made is naturally limited. Master Chen is naturally not a saint, and he cannot serve everyone with a bowl of water.
Unless more water is added, in this case, there will be only a little **** flavor at most and no effect at all.
Therefore, he chose the elderly, children, and women, who were relatively weak and prone to freezing, to let them drink **** soup. If there was more, he could give it to others.
Let the government officials maintain order, ask the women, children and elderly people to come and collect them, and ask them to finish drinking on the spot and leave.
The man who just asked the question curled his lips, "Isn't it just a bowl of **** soup? What's so great about it? It's not like I haven't drunk it before."
Others ignored him and looked at those people with envy. Some of them did not have children or wives, so they were wondering if they should have a bowl.
“Thank you, Mr. Chen!”
The family of three suddenly came to Master Chen and knelt on the ground.
“Get up quickly!”
Mr. Chen was a little confused and quickly helped them up. Only then did he recognize that it was Wu Zhang who explained to them how to build a bamboo house yesterday.
"If it weren't for Mr. Chen, our family would probably..." Wu Zhang was very grateful to the Chen family. Yesterday, the Chen family gave him some cotton-padded jackets so that their family would not suffer from frostbite when the temperature suddenly dropped.
It can be said that the lives of their family were saved by the Chen family.
“If Mr. Chen doesn’t mind, we are willing to serve by your side.”
After discussing with his wife, Wu Zhang decided to seek refuge with Mr. Chen. After all, if he followed them, he would not be bullied.
"this…"
Although Mr. Chen thought about taking Wu Zhang into his own hands, he just thought about it and hadn't figured out how to speak, so they ended up...
Seeing that Mr. Chen did not speak, Wu Zhang seemed to be worried about being misunderstood, so he quickly explained, "Sir Chen, we are not here for food. We just want to get a shelter. We will find a way to provide food. If Mr. Chen gives orders, we will definitely be there." No matter what."
Mr. Chen was not worried about food, but he had not examined Wu Zhang’s temperament, so he was hesitant.
“Dad, agree!” Chen Xue suddenly spoke and whispered in Mr. Chen’s ear, “Didn’t we discuss it before? Take all these prisoners for our own use.”
That's right, they had discussed it before and took all the yamen servants into their own hands. As a result, something happened to Captain Sun and others, but the result was exactly what they wanted.
Most of the government officials listened to them, and now as long as all the prisoners are taken care of, their road to exile can really be regarded as a tourist road.
At that time, no matter what they do, it will be fine. These prisoners are theirs and the secrets will not be leaked in the future.
