Chapter 23 Poor Environment

The bow!

Yun Su looked at his sister inexplicably, "Sister, what did you do to pull me out? I haven't fed Xiaohua yet."

She might as well be a little flower.

Yun Miaomiao was heartbroken, "You live with your parents, tell me, who is that man?"

"Are you talking about Brother Gu?" Yun Su asked.

Brother Gu? What Brother Gu?

"His surname is Gu? Could it be that he is from the capital? What does it have to do with our family?"

Yun Miaomiao searched around in her mind, but she couldn't find a relative who was related to the Yun family.

Yun Su didn't know what brother Gu had to do with their family. He only heard a few words from Yun's father and Yun Mu.

Seeing that Yun Su couldn't explain why, Yun Miaomiao didn't continue to ask, but held Yun Su on the bow of the boat to blow the wind for a while, and then sent people back.

The boat traveled for a day and a night, and finally a boatload of people from Jiangning Village stopped at the pier in Ruizhou.

Yun Miaomiao had some memories of this place. Her family started from here from the capital to Jiangning Village, and then took a boat to the dock in Huai'an County.

However, the current Huai'an County Pier has long been submerged in the water, and it is unclear which direction it is in.

At Ruizhou Pier, countless officers and soldiers were squatting on guard. When they saw their ship approaching, they all ran around, shouting that someone was there.

Jiang Li was standing on the bow of the boat, with tears in his eyes, "We're finally here, God, your eyes have been opened."

As soon as his words came out, many people shed tears. Only they knew how difficult their journey was.

The scenes in the unvisited mountains, endless floods, mountains of corpses and broken houses all seem to be still before our eyes.

The boat docked, and Jiang Li was leading people to report where they were to the officers and soldiers standing guard at the pier. The leader of the officers and soldiers looked at the neatly organized villagers and was so shocked that he could not speak for a long time.

"This~"

"Your Jiangning Village was the first village to be flooded. How did so many people survive?"

"Yes, your village was the first to be flooded, but no one was found. They said you were washed away by the flood, and not a single person was left alive."

"That's right. Later, the magistrate of Huai'an County took everyone to find people to save people. But who would have thought that in one night, the floods came up and directly submerged the county seat. Even the magistrate and his family were

The dead are dead, the dead are scattered.”

Everyone has come here all the way and has seen a lot. Now that they hear this, they are all numb.

Jiang Lizheng did not expect that the county magistrate and his family had not escaped. He was extremely glad that he listened to Yun Miaomiao and took a whole village of people to the mountain to take refuge.

Among the people present, not only Jiang Lizheng thought so, but everyone except the Yun family also thought so.

The officers and soldiers told the county magistrate of Ruizhou about the dock. After the county magistrate learned the good news, he hurriedly put down his work and went to the dock.

As soon as County Magistrate Zhao's people arrived at the pier, they saw that the pier was crowded with people. He was relieved day and night.

There was a flood south of Ruizhou, causing heavy casualties. When people in the capital found out about this, they blamed their poor supervision and got angry.

It is said that several of his superiors were imprisoned because of this.

If he hadn't had a small official position, he might have gone along with him.

It is said that this is a whole village of people. In a village, only two or three people died. One had a fever and another died of illness. Only one person actually drowned in the water.

With these people, there won't be so much pressure on him.

County Magistrate Zhao heard that there was Li Zheng among the group of people here, so he asked the people below, "Who is Li Zheng?"

As soon as Jiang Lizheng heard Magistrate Zhao calling him, his body stiffened for a moment, and then he immediately walked over.

"I am Li Zheng from Jiangning Village, sir." He knelt on the ground, his eyes flinched, and he did not dare to look straight ahead.

Magistrate Zhao glanced at him and said, "Is it you who saved a whole village?"

In fact, many people in the village knew that the person who saved them was not him, but Yun Miaomiao.

Just now, before Magistrate Zhao came, Yun Miaomiao specifically approached her and told her not to say what she said out loud, saying that it was his idea and the person he saved.

He understood that Yun Miaomiao was a woman, and even a grown man could not do such a thing, but she did it, so he did not want to be too pushy.

However, this is a great honor for saving people. Yun Miaomiao is stupid. If he doesn't want it, then there is nothing he can't accept.

"It's down there."

"Oh? Then tell me how you saved all the people in a village. You have made such a great contribution. I will definitely write it down on the memorial to let the Holy One know your contribution."

There are also such benefits.

Jiang Li looked happy, "This is what I should do. Jiangning Village is backed by a mountain. That day, the mountain collapsed at the entrance of the village, and the river swelled, pouring water directly into the river. I saw something was wrong, so I took the village with me

The people packed up their things and went up the mountain together. Unexpectedly, Jiangning Village, which had not experienced floods for more than ten years, would actually be flooded."

After hearing this, County Magistrate Zhao praised Jiang Lizheng, gave him ten taels of silver as encouragement, and asked someone to find a place for them to stay.

Jiang Li was looking at the white silver in his hand, his eyes shining. He had never seen so much silver in his life. This was really too much.

Jiang Li was overjoyed. Under the envious eyes of everyone, he took the money back into his arms and took a whole village of people to the resettlement place.

The place where they were resettled was in the east of the city, where all the refugees lived.

In addition to them, there were also people who were killed in various ways.

When the people in Jiangning Village arrived, everyone was dumbfounded and thought they had gone to the wrong place.

In the shelter in the east of the city, the refugees were all lying in the open air. A simple mat was spread on the ground, and they were covered with rotten straw mats. They just lay down with their clothes on. They really used the ground as their bed.

Use the sky as your quilt.

Every corner of the east side of the city, on the avenues and alleys, is full of people.

When Jiang Lizheng and a group of villagers saw this scene, there was a hint of disgust on their faces. They had never lived in such a bad environment in the cave.

I finally thought I was saved, and thought my life would be easier, but I didn't expect the environment to get even worse.

"Oh, how can anyone live in this poor place? Jiang Lizheng and I can't live here." Aunt Lin covered her nose with disgust on her face.

Jiang Lizheng also didn't expect that the environment would be investigated to this extent, "Aunt Lin, this is a place arranged by the county magistrate. Who do you think you are? You can live wherever you want?"

As soon as Mrs. Lin heard about Magistrate Zhao, she immediately became like a quail. In such a big battle just now, the officers and soldiers all had knives in their hands, how dare she have any objection.

"Then you can't sleep in a place like this. Our cave can shelter you from the wind and rain, and you can have a place to sleep. What are you seeing now, smelly ditches, and flies flying everywhere?"

Yun Miaomiao had to admit that what Mrs. Lin said was absolutely correct. The environment was really too bad.
