Chapter 252 Exchange of Work Points
"Xiao Jing, at least you can get free meals at the inn. They can only eat wild vegetables. As long as you have some conscience, you won't try to take advantage of them."
Su Manrong glanced at the Niwan in Xiao Jing's hand and said expressionlessly: "Holding the Niwan and fooling the refugees, is this your behavior as the legitimate daughter of the Xiao Mansion?"
The refugees looked at Xiao Jing angrily when they heard the sound. If Su Manrong hadn't reminded her, they would have been harmed by this vicious-hearted woman.
If clay pills were used as pills and allowed to be taken by young children, wouldn't it be...
"Su Manrong, just wait for me. One day you will die in my hands." Xiao Jing looked at the angry eyes of the refugees and knew that her plan could not continue. She glared at Su Manrong unwillingly.
, and left quickly.
"Ms. Su, you have such a big bag of food on your cart. There are many children among the refugees who are like Zheng'er Yuan'er, old women who are incompetent and have no food. I beg you to show your kindness and donate one or two to our Xiao Mansion.
.”
Mrs. Xiao Guo held a grudge against Su Manrong in her heart, so naturally she would not miss any opportunity to torment her.
Those refugees had just been rescued by Su Manrong, and before they had time to say thank you, they heard Xiao Guo say that she had a lot of food, and their eyes suddenly glowed green, and they begged: "Girl, please be merciful and give some to the children."
Food. It’s okay for us adults to eat wild vegetables, but the children..."
"Uncle, it's not that I don't want to help, it's that I really don't have food." Su Manrong walked forward generously and opened the bag. There were only bedding and clothes inside, and there was no food.
Seeing this, the refugees sighed in despair, their hopes filled with disappointment.
"You have eaten fine grains along the way. You know exactly where the grains are hidden. But you are not willing to use them to help the refugees."
Mrs. Xiao Guo has seen Su Manrong getting steamed buns from the inn every day. How could she not have any food in stock?
"Teaching people to fish is worse than teaching them to fish. Although I don't have food, I have a way to prevent the refugees from starving, so I won't worry about it."
Su Manrong certainly knew what Mrs. Xiao Guo had in mind. She wanted the refugees to fight her for food.
But she thought wrong...the food was not only fine grains, but also freshly cooked, hidden in a space where no one could find it.
"Girl, how can I not be hungry?"
Su Manrong stepped forward and explained in a low voice: I have a strong flashlight here. When pheasants and rabbits see this light, their eyes cannot bear the strong light and they will stay still."
Su Manrong took out a strong flashlight from her arms and put it into the uncle's hand: "Uncle, you can lead everyone to live together, and you will definitely make everyone survive, right?"
"Girl, what are you...?" The uncle looked at the flashlight in his hand in confusion, wondering if it was really as magical as Su Manrong said.
"Uncle, there is a mountain fifteen miles away from the ruined temple. There is a lot of game in the mountain. When the weather clears, you can take everyone there to settle down.
If floods continue in the south, the north will also be affected, so it is safer to live in high places."
Su Manrong also knew that if he took out food at this time, the refugees would be carried away by hunger and cause some harm to themselves.
Although they couldn't bring out food, they couldn't bear to see them being tortured by natural disasters just after escaping from the flood, so they reminded them.
She wanted the refugees to settle down near the cave, and she also thought of her little brother who was living on the top of the mountain. He was bitten by a poisonous snake because of himself, although it was not fatal.
Among the luggage left for him were bedding, food, silver, a poncho and matches. But if we could live with the refugees, we could take care of each other.
The leader seems to be a responsible man...
"Girl, thank you." The refugees expressed their gratitude to Su Manrong with faces filled with gratitude, and then took the opportunity to remind in a low voice: "Those stoves are dirty, and the well in the ruined temple is broken. Girls, don't use the stove, and don't drink the well water."
.”
They knew early in the morning that the exile team would pass by the ruined temple, and they thought that if they could exchange some silver for some food, they didn't want to harm anyone.
But the exiled team didn't help, so they guided everyone to the ruined temple...
Su Manrong was not stupid. Hearing the uncle's reminder, he knew what they wanted to do: "Uncle, I know that you were forced to make a dangerous move with no way out. But with those four officials here, if you take a moment,
If we take any action, I'm afraid your lives will be at risk, so I ask you to think about it carefully."
"Girl..." The uncle choked with tears in his eyes. The other refugees were even more grateful for Su Manrong's kindness, and they all knelt down heavily to express their gratitude.
Although the few children in the crowd were frightened, they also imitated the adults and knelt on the ground.
"Do they have any relatives?" Su Manrong helped the leader of the uncle to stand up, and couldn't help walking towards the two young children, smiled at them, and helped them up.
"Their father was washed away by the flood, and their mother was impaled by a tree branch, but she passed away in two days." The uncle choked with grief: "There are only about 20 people left in our village..."
There are many disaster movies on TV and movies, and Su Manrong can also imagine the scene the uncle mentioned.
At this time, no words of comfort were of any use. Su Manrong gave a few simple reminders and then returned to the two children.
The two children finished their millet porridge and were enjoying being teased by the pigeons around the pigeon cage. When they saw Su Manrong coming back, they both raised their arms to hug them. Su Manrong knelt down and held them in his arms.
"What I'm most afraid of is that the light rain is pouring, and the trip will be delayed." Xiao Chengxian looked at the light rain that showed no intention of stopping. He couldn't help thinking seriously about Su Manrong's words, and he was also worried about the possibility of flooding.
They are walking in the mountains. If they encounter mudslides or landslides, it will be much more dangerous than floods...
"We still have to walk at least one hundred and twenty miles before we can cross this mountain and enter the boundaries of Yuncheng."
Su Manrong frowned when he heard the sound. They must hurry up and head west now. The farther they go, the safer they will be.
"I'll figure it out."
...
"Grandma, what are you talking about? The Su family and we are incompatible with each other. You want me to marry Su Liqian?"
Xiao Jing's action failed and she returned to the crowd. When she heard Mrs. Xiao Guo discussing her marriage with the eldest lady, she shook her head in disbelief.
"We and the Su family are the emperor's right-hand men. If the emperor hadn't borrowed the hand of the Su family and ransacked our home, we would have been used by the emperor as a sharp knife to ransack the Su family."
Xiao Guoshi explained with sincerity: "We are chess pieces, and the emperor is the one who makes the plans. Now, only by joining forces can our two houses continue the bloodline of the two houses. When Su Ya marries Yi'an, Rong Mansion can be considered a successor.
