Chapter 47 Just call her Madam. Madam actually knows a deity?
His shout caused an uproar among those who heard it.
"Where are the people? Where are they? Is there really food and water? Has the Emperor really managed to gather more food?"
"How much grain has been delivered this time? Quickly, bring the people over here."
A group of people rushed out while talking.
It was as if if they rushed the water even a little slower, the food and water would be lost.
Pei Yi pulled over a general, put his hand on his shoulder, and followed him out to investigate.
"What is this? Is this what was used to carry the carriages here?"
"Why are you all so exhausted? Did you come all the way from the capital?"
As soon as everyone came out, they saw three bicycles that were almost completely deformed.
Normally, even without eating or sleeping, it would take about seven days to cycle from the capital to the border, and that's on flat roads.
But these four people rode their bikes like they were risking their lives and reached their destination in just about five days.
The price was that the bicycle almost fell apart from the bumps.
Their legs were so weak that the two cyclists collapsed to the ground as soon as they saw that they had reached their destination.
They collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.
To save time while cycling, they only stop to drink water and eat when it's their turn to rest.
For the last stretch of the journey, the two cyclists had gone four hours without drinking water.
With so much air getting into my throat, I was already dying of thirst.
They couldn't utter a single word.
After lying on the ground for a long time to recover, they almost simultaneously turned their bodies slightly to the side, still lying down, and brought their bags to the front.
With trembling hands, he pulled open the bag's drawstring.
He pulled out a brand new bottle of mineral water.
He then unscrewed the mineral water bottle with trembling hands.
The other two guards, who had been resting in the carriage for several hours, also experienced severe leg pain as soon as they relaxed.
They limped over and skillfully helped the two men on the ground to their feet.
The main thing is to lift his head up.
After being helped up, the two immediately brought the bottle necks of the mineral water bottles to their lips with trembling hands.
"Grumpy"
He drank the water in big gulps.
He drank too quickly, and some water dripped down his chin and onto his neck.
The sound of swallowing saliva could be heard all around.
Their eyes were fixed intently on the water droplets.
"It's water, it really is water, and it's very clean and clear water. There really is water."
"This water looks so sweet and delicious, it's wonderful."
"But what kind of bottle is this for holding water? It's really pretty."
Before the general gave the order to distribute the food and water, they were still envious but obediently stood aside.
While the two people on the ground were fetching water, they also took out small bread rolls from their backpacks.
It was already struggling on the edge of whether to fall or not.
When the two of them were helped up, their backpacks were also lifted up.
The bread fell out of the backpack opening.
Some people's gaze shifted from the water to the bread.
"What is that? Why does it look like a steamed bun?"
Pei Yi was finally helped to stand before the four people.
His gaze swept over the bicycle.
Then I noticed the water they were drinking and the bread rolls.
When the four men saw Pei Yi come out, they quickly bowed to him. Even the two guards who were still half-lying on the ground struggled to stand up.
Pei Yi waved his hand: "No need for formalities."
"Let's check the grain first."
The other two guards, who were more agile, quickly released their companions and led Pei Yi to the front of the carriage.
Open the carriage door.
"General, these are the food and water that the old lady asked us to bring."
Pei Yi frowned: "Which old lady?"
The guard paused for a moment, then explained, "Your wife is the old lady of the General's Mansion."
Pei Yi thought of his fiancée, whom he had never met.
He did receive a letter from the capital, informing him that the Ministry of Rites had sent Yu Wanwan to the General's Mansion.
He personally went to the Emperor to ask for a marriage decree for Yu Wanwan; if he remembered correctly, she was only eighteen years old.
An 18-year-old girl being called "old lady"?
"From now on, just call her Madam."
"Yes."
After a moment's thought, Pei Yi asked, "Has Madam recovered?"
The guard looked at Pei Yi with admiration.
The general is indeed a general; he guessed that the lady had recovered after only a few words.
He nodded.
"Yes, the lady encountered a deity who healed her. The deity also gave her a lot of food and water. These are all gifts from the deity to the lady. And this bicycle, without the bicycle, we wouldn't be able to deliver things to you, General."
"immortal?"
Could this be the opportunity that Master Lingkong was talking about?
Other generals also heard their conversation.
They gathered around in shock: "Did the General's wife encounter a deity? These things were given to her by a deity?"
"No wonder these are all things we've never seen before."
"Could it be that the gods also know that we are suffering and, out of pity, want to save us through the General's wife?"
"Heaven has eyes! It actually sent a deity to save us. Heaven has eyes! We were not meant to die!"
Upon hearing the news, the soldiers, who were so weak they seemed on the verge of collapse, suddenly became energetic, as if they had been injected with adrenaline.
The guards from the capital stayed by Yu Wanwan's side for two days.
Now they are all Yu Wanwan's number one fans, just like Zhou Nan.
Talking about Yu Wanwan and the immortals, I no longer feel tired.
He excitedly told them, "Yes, even the gods couldn't bear to see us starve and die of thirst, so they came to save us."
"The gods also sent us a lot of delicious things, including meat, milk, salt, and sugar. However, because our carriage was too small and we didn't have enough bicycles, the amount of things we could transport was limited."
But don't worry, everyone. After the gods send a few more bicycles to the general's wife, she will definitely arrange for even more people to send more grain.
Many of the soldiers present still had family members in the capital.
Hearing the guards' words, these men thought of their families in the capital and asked, "Are there really so many things?"
"Would that be enough to feed the entire capital? Would no one in the capital starve to death?"
They were practically asking the exporters directly if their family had any food.
Before the guards came to deliver the grain, they also went out with the children of the general's mansion to deliver grain for two days.
He said, "The general's wife is a very kind person. She has compassion for everyone and every day she takes people from her household to deliver food to families in the capital who have no food."
"Many people in the capital have already been given food and water by the gods."
His words brought a sigh of relief to many people.
"Chen Shu, bring your men and come with me to move the grain."
Pei Yi glanced at the food and water in the carriage, rolled up his sleeves, and stepped forward.
