"Xiao'an Village is not close to here. How did you come here? By water?" the masked government official asked.
"Yes, sir, let's go down the river on a raft." Yan Laoer replied.
"Is this your son?"
Yan Laoer hesitated and said, "He's my boy."
"You are really brave. Just after passing Beirong and entering the village during the day, I turned around and dared to follow you on the raft to Gufeng...
I just followed you as my father.
Looking at the way you are dressed, it doesn't look like you don't know Gu Feng's situation. Why do you dare to run here? What's the important thing?
Looking for relatives and friends?" He shook the road guide on his hand.
The reason given above is exactly this.
Yan Yu opened her eyes wide.
Looking at these people now, they seem vaguely familiar, and yes, their voices are also familiar.
Could it be...
"When visiting relatives, I also help people deliver letters." Yan Laoer confessed honestly.
It would be too false to just say that I am looking for someone. Helping Dr. An deliver a letter is a good example.
"They are so warm-hearted. The father and son stayed up for two whole nights and came to Gufeng to help people deliver letters..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the other government officials started laughing.
Obviously don't believe it.
What kind of relationship is this? I have to make this trip.
"Where's the letter?" the man asked casually, not thinking he could produce it.
Unexpectedly, Yan Laoer actually took it out.
The action of picking out a letter is more efficient than digging out a road.
"My lord, please read the letter, here is the letter." He put the letter on the ground again, licked his face and said with a smile, "I wonder if it would be convenient for the lords to bring this family letter to the three doctors An at Hui'an Hall in Yongning City.
.”
He added: "Leave it to any Dr. An."
The yamen officer didn't want to pick it up at first, but when he heard that Yongning City Huimin Hall... he immediately picked up the letter.
"Have you been to Yongning? Have you met Huimin Tang Anjia?"
Yan Laoer: "Doctor An is visiting Huju City, and my brother is on duty at Huju Yamen. He knew that I was coming to Gufeng, so he asked me to bring a letter to his father and uncle."
"Huju? The city has also been closed, right?" The officer asked, "How did you get in?"
"It has been closed for a while." Yan Laoer said: "The great master placed the victims and patients outside the city and put up a wooden fence. We also had a conversation from a distance."
"You said your brother is working as a sergeant in Huju. If I remember correctly... the people in your village are all fleeing from the famine. How long have you been out of the country? Which class did you join as a sergeant?"
No wonder they questioned me so carefully.
Yamen servants seem to be at the bottom of the bureaucracy and not in the mainstream, but this job can be passed down from generation to generation.
When it comes to making up for someone, I usually look for people who are born and raised and know my roots well.
How could they be replenished from newly settled refugees?!
"I am a household secretary in the government office." Yan Laoer answered honestly.
Government officials:...
"Your brother...brother, is he a scholar?"
As soon as I arrived, I got into the house with the most money and wealth. Either I had connections or I had the ability.
How could someone with connections be settled in Huju City? That is, having the ability. Being able to read and write is not enough. You also need to have some knowledge to get the big boss to give you a good job.
"Yes..." Yan Laoer originally wanted to show off, because my brother has a great reputation!
Think about it, forget it, keep a low profile, keep a low profile.
The yamen officer thought for a while and said, "You guys stand far away and wait. When we finish our work, we will send you there."
After saying that, he put the letter back on the ground, took two steps back, looked at Yan Laoer, and waited for him to pick it up.
Yan Laoer:......
We don’t want to go, can you let us go?
"If Gu Feng is as inaccessible as Hu Ju, then we won't cause trouble." Yan Laoer said, "Excuse me..."
The yamen servant waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. Gu Feng also placed all the patients outside the city. The three doctors An you are looking for are all there. Just let us go."
After saying that, he turned around to greet those people and dig the hole deeper...
They worked neatly, and it seemed that they even sped up for them.
Yan Laoer was not moved at all.
When others were not paying attention, he quickly picked up the letter with a cloth as a cushion and threw it into the basket on Sanbao's body.
He looked at his daughter.
Yan Yu quickly spread his hands, showing that he was helpless.
She whispered the identities of these people.
Only then did Yan Laoer realize why these individuals spoke so knowingly. It turned out to be Yongning City officials who had visited the village during the day.
The government officials in Fucheng are just half a head taller than those in other cities.
Yan Laoer couldn't say much.
Yan Yu, on the other hand, took advantage of the convenience of dealing with them and tried to get close to his uncles.
The Yamen servants still had an impression of this young man who was very capable in academics. With Lao Yan's relationship, they were no longer cold-blooded and started chatting about going to Beirong to cross the mountains and pretending to be an Orion.
"Fortunately, there are not many people coming, otherwise your village would be in danger..."
"Those Beirong seem to be here to explore the road, so we have to be more careful in the future."
"But don't worry too much. These people can't go back. Beirong has to think about it. They may not take this road again."
"Climbing over the mountain is only suitable for a small group of people..."
Yan Laoer also followed suit and started talking at the right time.
Although he had only been in Guanzhou for a short time, he had been to many places. In order to sell charcoal and spices, he had interacted with a lot of people. He was always paying attention to all kinds of news on the street, and he could chat with people about anything they said.
Especially what happened in Yongning City made these people sound very cordial.
The atmosphere gradually became harmonious.
At first, I thought that the big one and the small one were hiding from them as if they were hiding from disaster, but now I am worried that they are not standing far enough away.
Keep making them move back.
"You guys look weird in your dressing up, but if you think about it carefully, you are quite thoughtful," said one of the yamen servants.
Yan Laoer's heart moved, "I saw that it was like this in Huju City, so I asked my family to learn how to sew. It is probably very effective. The errands there and the victims who helped were rarely passed on.
sickness."
This group of government officials working in Fucheng are very smart.
Listen to the words and quickly grasp the key points.
"Huju City used the victims to help? What help? How could they be allowed to wander around?! Aren't you afraid that the epidemic will spread and not be contained?"
"I'm really too busy to come up with such an idea, but it looks good. Those people also wrapped themselves up tightly and helped cook porridge and meals, clean and wash, deliver medicines, and take care of the patients.
…
There is still a lot that can be done." Yan Laoer concluded.
He added: "My brother said that the situation in Huju City is getting better, and he might be able to come home in a few days."
Several government officials exchanged glances.
After finishing their work, these government officials kept their word and took the two of them outside Gufeng City.
Different from the orderliness of Huju City, this place is in chaos.
Yan Laoer had seen the chaos when Huju had just closed down the city, but compared with what he saw before him, it was really nothing.
Someone saw them coming back and lit a brazier and brought it over.
Several government officials stepped over from above calmly.
Then he motioned to Yan Laoer and Yan Yu to do the same.
