Chapter 38 Thank you

Because Xie Yuan saved a person in an alley, and because she followed her, he was almost killed by the bullies in the refugee camp.

So this led to Shen Liuzhen's rescue, because the rescue also led to the need to find ways to resettle the refugees.

Father Xie, who had been either sitting in the yamen or busy instructing Shen Liuzhen in the study, finally realized how many refugees there were outside the city.

After listening to Shen Liuzhen's story, he put down the book in his hand and sighed, saying:

"As long as there is no war for a day, there will be many such things. We can't save it with the little money and food we have at home. Don't worry about it. Let's take care of ourselves. If we don't do it well, we will even save our lives. No, it’s not as good as them.”

Shen Liuzhen and Xie Yuan looked at each other and knew that he was referring to the incident where the Xie family was exterminated. This incident had such a huge impact on Xie's father that he had no ambition for an official career and became even more negative. .

Shen Liuzhen said: "Teacher, Confucius said: If you don't do what is right, you have no courage. If you see them in trouble, if you turn a blind eye and don't ask, wouldn't you be betraying the virtues of a gentleman? What's more, the teacher is a county It is the duty of the county governor to resettle the people."

The family tradition of the Xie family is that no matter how old or young you are, you must be reasonable in everything you do. Usually, Xie's father also encourages Shen Liuzhen to express his opinions and does not mean to disrespect his teachers.

So when Shen Liuzhen said this, clearly blaming Xie's father for his negligence, he was not angry. Instead, he sighed heavily and explained to Shen Liuzhen:

"Hey... I also came here when you were your age. I don't understand how you are feeling at this time. People still have sympathy when they see animals suffering, let alone humans?

Don't blame me for being hard-hearted. I have seen too many such things. After so many years, all my efforts have been in vain. Even now, human tragedies are still everywhere. Forgive me for being incompetent. I can only protect you and protect you. When it comes to my family, others really don’t have the ability to take care of me.”

He saw Shen Liuzhen and Xie Yuan lowering their heads, obviously very disappointed, so he tried to persuade them again, saying:

"Didn't I just send someone to add some rice cloth to serve with the porridge? I've done a good thing, so don't blame yourself too much."

Xie Yuan thought of the bunch of children without fathers and mothers, struggling together to survive, so he said:

"Dad...even if others don't care, can you take those children home and raise them? It won't be in vain. Send them to do errands to pay for their food rations."

Father Xie frowned and said:

"Isn't there enough people to support at home? There are so many miserable children in this world, and they are all called to our homes to raise them. Even princes and ministers cannot withstand such kind-hearted squandering. What's more, our family is just a remote county. An ordinary clan."

Xie Yuan was extremely disappointed when he heard this. He lowered his head in discomfort and said nothing.

Shen Liuzhen glanced at her, then turned to look up at Father Xie, clasped his hands and said sincerely:

"Teacher, but I have promised to find a solution for them, how can I break my promise? Otherwise, we don't have to squander the money and food at home. We will find a way to raise money to do it. You only need to send the county governor to The government officials will help us."

Father Xie looked at him with the scroll in his hand, with an unknown light in his eyes. After a while, he said seriously: "Liu Zhen, it is really in vain to do this. The teacher has been there."

Shen Liuzhen raised his arms and said seriously:

"Teacher, Mencius said: At that time, at this time, in five hundred years, a king will rise, and there will be a famous person in the world. The teacher has worked hard before, but it may be in vain, but it does not mean that the efforts of the student's generation are still in vain. The teacher taught me a lot , I have high hopes, and I definitely hope that I can apply what I have learned in the future to manage the world and save the country. Students also hope so, and now is a good opportunity to practice..."

Shen Liuzhen paused, knelt on the ground, cupped his hands and said, "Teacher, this is a good opportunity to practice. Please give Xie Yuan and I a chance to do something."

Father Xie was vaguely moved, although he understood in his heart that the world is in chaos and the country is not stable. The so-called saving the country by saving the country cannot be sure of which country will be saved...

But when he looked at the vibrant hope of the two young men, his eyes sparkled, and it seemed that his vision that had been dormant for many years was stirred up... so he could no longer bear to throw cold water on them.

Said: "Okay...if you have any difficulties, come to me at any time."

…

…

Xie Yuan followed Shen Liuzhen out of the study and suddenly said: "Thank you."

Shen Liuzhen was a little surprised. He looked at her and asked, "What are you thanking me for? I want to help those refugees, but I am not asking you to help me."

Xie Yuan said with some embarrassment: "Thank you not for this, but for not leaving me out when you told my father these things."

Seeing her depressed expression, Shen Liuzhen felt a little sad and tried to persuade her:

"Ayuan, I think you have been thinking too much recently. The teacher obviously still loves you very much as usual, but it's just because you are not good at studying and can't keep up with the progress, so he singled me out to teach. It means something else."

Xie Yuan heard this and said as he walked: "I didn't think much about it. You are not me, so naturally you don't know what I feel like."

Seeing her pace quicken, Shen Liuzhen hurriedly took two steps to catch up.

He put his hands in his sleeves and swung his broad sleeves as he ran. Compared with Xie Yuan, who was dressed in smart clothes next to him, he looked more like a little girl.

Seeing her ugly face, Shen Liuzhen stopped arguing with her and said:

"We have to think about how we can raise money to resettle those refugees. But one thing the teacher said is right, relief alone won't do it."

After hearing this, Xie Yuan's dark face brightened as expected. He no longer struggled with his previous emotions and said:

"I thought you already had a solution. What you said in the room just now was so impassioned. Are you trying to spread your emotions?"

Shen Liuzhen said: "Oh, since you want to accomplish something, you must have the courage to take it one step at a time. If you have any ideas, let me know."

Xie Yuan thought about it seriously and said: "There is too much chaos there because no one maintains order. Some of them are just like a bald bully who bullies the weak and eats blood to get fat. I have a way to train a team. Maintain normal order..."

She paused and then said: "Also... the place they live in is too bad. Anyone who lives in a place like that has no hope. Without hope, evil will breed. We have to find a way to let them at least live in a normal life." house."

Shen Liuzhen curled his lips and smiled: "Do you really dare to think... how much does it cost to build a house?"

Xie Yuan rolled his eyes at him dissatisfied and said, "You asked me what I had in mind, but you didn't ask me if it was feasible."

"Yes, yes... I'm afraid of you." Shen Liuzhen said with a smile, and even leaned over to elbow her.

Xie Yuan felt that he was always leaning towards people, so he took a step and walked further away.
