fool from heaven

On the warm kang in the house, a young man in a green shirt sat cross-legged on the kang, with a stack of account books on the desks in front of him.The young man spread out an account book, calculating with one hand, and writing something with the other hand.

His ruddy lips were pursed slightly, and his beautiful eyebrows were slightly furrowed.There seems to be some dissatisfaction with the books at hand.

It was snowing heavily outside the house, and it was impossible to see the edge.There was warmth in the room.The stove next to the table was filled with mist, which made his face more blurry.He raised his hand towards the teacup, but unexpectedly his hands were held by a pair of warm hands.

"Yanyan, the tea is cold, I'll make another pot."

Wen Yan looked up in surprise: "When did you come back!"

"It's been a while, and I saw that you were serious, so I didn't bother you. Why, you look frowning, but what's the problem?"

Wen Yan shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just that the heavy snow is so fierce that it has delayed a lot of business. Business is a trivial matter, but I'm just worried. If things go on like this, after this heavy snow, there may be a famine. The five northern states You just settled down, and this happened..."

Qin Li patted Wen Yan on the shoulder and said: "It's not that serious, don't worry. I have already sent people to take precautions in Suizhou and Minzhou. Fortunately, we have a lot of farmland in these years, and the mountain at the foot of Lingshan, There is enough grain in hand. The worst thing is the post-disaster epidemic, I have ordered Qianjintang to prepare medicinal materials. As long as there is food and medicine, the people will not riot, don't worry."

"Now that Chuzhou is also suffering from a disaster, I'm afraid that North Vietnam will take action." Wen Yan said.

"A month ago, Chu Qinghe captured Yangping Pass, and Chu Yuxiu stayed at Xiahejun Town. The two places form horns. Even if Beiyue attacked Chuzhou Mansion, I would never let them step through Yangping Pass."

"Well. By the way, is Wen Yu doing well recently? It's freezing cold, which is really worrying."

Qin Li smiled and said: "Wen Yu is a kid who impresses me. I sent him to Lingshan when he was eight years old. It has been five years now. Not to mention his strength, his martial arts have also improved a lot. Qin Shiba will fight against him. Handle it carefully. Besides, Wen Yu is a scholar, intelligent and quick-witted, and he learned the art of war from his military advisers, and he can apply what he has learned and master it well. Although he is a little green now, but given time, he will become a general."

Wen Yan also smiled: "I was pointing at Wen Yu to be a scholar, but I didn't expect..."

"Children have their own destiny." Qin Li knew that Wen Yan wanted Wen Lang and the others again.

"Well, I understand."

Knowing is one thing, worrying is another.

"Okay, don't you still need to look at the account books, I'll read it with you. It's getting late, so read it early and rest early."

As Qin Li said, he took off his shoes and socks, sat down next to Wen Yan, and wrapped his arms around his waist from behind, a warmth instantly swept across Wen Yan's whole body.

Qin Li squeezed Wen Yan's waist, and sighed: "Still so thin."

Wen Yan lowered his eyes: "This is called a good figure."

Qin Li sneered.

Wen Yan twisted his body and said, "How can you look at the account books like this?"

"What's the matter? It's warm." Qin Li looked down at Wen Yan's red ears, and said with a smile, "Yanyan, what are you thinking?"

Wen Yan elbowed him: "What can I think, it's because you think too much! Don't talk, read the book!"

The charming feeling in the house continues, and the temperature continues to rise...

"Cough, you..." Wen Yan coughed uncomfortably.

"Yanyan, let's creak and creak."

Wen Yan: "..."

After a long time, Qin Li took out an exquisite small porcelain bottle from the kang cabinet, and a faint fragrance lifted people's spirits.

Every time Wen Yan saw this porcelain vase, he would think of the things that fool Yuan Bao did that made his teeth itch.His old face has long been lost.Then Chen Liu didn't know how to laugh behind his back.Simply turn around and ignore him.

Qin Li chuckled in his ear: "It's been so many years, why are you still awkward?"

Wen Yan covered his head with the quilt and snorted heavily.

Qin Li laughed heartily, lifted the quilt, hugged Wen Yan in his arms, and coaxed him softly.

The pleasant voice is especially pleasant in the silent night.

Snow still does not stop, silently.

"My lord, an urgent report from Chen County!"

Qin Li turned over and sat up, and what he expected still happened.

There are several villages under the jurisdiction of Chen County in Suizhou. The people are poor, and they don't have much food for the winter.Now when the disaster comes, the mountains are covered by heavy snow, and there is no food at all.

Now that the beginning of spring has passed, it is not as severe as the midwinter, and the snow has fallen heavily, and many of them have already been civilized.In many villages, due to the heavy snow, houses were crushed and people were displaced, all of them flooded into the county.What followed was various epidemic diseases. Many people in Chen County had caught wind and cold, developed high fever, and caused coughing.

People in the county gathered at the gate of the yamen, and the victims were not allowed to enter the city.The county magistrate had no choice but to temporarily close the city gate.Only one bag of rice is sent out from the city wall every day.

Knowing that food was released in the city, the victims sat cross-legged outside the city, gathering more and more.The grain depots in the city are already running out.But the common people only know that if they don't enter the city, they will have no way to survive.

Chen County is a small county, and there is not much grain in the yamen.The snowstorm came suddenly, and before the food transportation team from Suizhou Fucheng had even left the Fucheng, they were blocked by heavy snow.

Although the snow has melted now, the ground is wet and slippery, and it is difficult for horses and horses to move. Even if the food transport team comes, it will be ten days later.

But now in just five days, many people have been infected one after another, all the major medical centers in the county are full, and there are very few medicinal materials left.But more and more people are getting sick.

Although Chen County is small, it is densely populated, and it is also the gateway to Suizhou.There is Chuzhou with unknown power behind him, and Shengyuantang who is ready to stab a knife at any time.

It took so many years for him and Rong Qi to clean up Suizhou with great difficulty, so that no force can take the opportunity to infiltrate.

"I'll go with you." Wen Yan heard the movement, and began to dress neatly.

"Yanyan, the situation in Chen county is unknown, you should stay."

"No, if you can go, so can I. Nowadays, there are disasters of various sizes in all major state capitals, and there is not enough manpower. The situation in Chen County seems to be very serious. How can you take care of it by yourself."

While talking, Wen Yan had already put on his clothes.

Qin Li didn't say much, he took a thick and warm fox fur and put it on for Wen Yan, and the two rushed to Chen county overnight.

The horseshoe galloped, rolling up waves of snow, drowning the figure on the horse.

Qingshi received Wen Yan's instructions, and went to Rong's house early the next morning, joined forces with Master Rong, mobilized all the major clothing stores, and began to prepare winter clothes.

Although the heavy snow stopped, the temperature changed suddenly, alternating between warm and cold, and the affected people were poorly clothed and hungry, and more people would only get sick.

Wen Yan and Qin Li traveled non-stop all the way, day and night, and arrived in Chen County three days later.The disaster was more serious than expected.

More than [-] people died of starvation, disease, or freezing.If the county magistrate Shen Lianyi hadn't handled it properly, the death and injury would have been even more serious.

"The county magistrate doesn't open the city gate, he wants to cut off our way!"

"Yeah, there's only some brown rice left in the past few days."

"Hmph, let's eat brown rice, drink snow water, and gnaw tree bark outside. The county magistrate eats delicious food and spicy food at the mansion, and his mouth is full of oil. This kind of corrupt official who doesn't care about the life and death of the people, in my opinion, can't wait until he dies." Come to the county magistrate to open the city gate." A big man said angrily.

"That's right, I think we might as well rush in. There are so many of us, we're afraid of just a few yamen servants!" Another person echoed.

When the people heard the words, they really relaxed a little bit.

"But, that official has a knife, let's..."

"Stretch your head out with a knife, shrink your head or stick it out, think about the delicious rice and the oily chicken legs, as long as you fight, let's go to the yamen to eat delicious food and spicy food!"

"That's right, it's better to fight them than starve to death!"

The disaster victims were incited, but most of them had no idea. They followed what others did, and they were satisfied as long as they stuttered.

The guards at the city gate saw the actions of the victims, and rushed back to the county government office to report the incident.

After all, the physical strength was exhausted, and the victims, together with the old and the young, got up slowly.

The people in front were still instigating: "Move, I can smell meat!"

"Oh, your nose is really good. You can smell the smell of meat from miles away? Why didn't I smell it?"

The man turned his head and saw that the speaker was a noble young man in snow-white fox fur.There is another person beside him, dressed in black, wearing a black cloak, and wearing a silver grimace mask.One black and one white, in the messy team of victims, it is particularly eye-catching.

"Could it be that the gods have descended to earth? Look at that young man in white, how handsome he is, he must be a fairy!"

"Help, immortal, help!"

Men, women and children knelt down to beg for mercy. Seeing this scene, Wen Yan felt sour.

"What immortals, they are clearly ordinary people. They and the county magistrate are here to confuse us and prevent us from entering the city. Don't be fooled by him!" The man was the first to react.

Wen Yan sneered: "What you said, we have just arrived here, so why are we with the county magistrate? Besides, there are only two of us. Look at the disaster victims all over the place, there must be a thousand people , even one mouthful of saliva can drown both of us. If we try to stop it, it will be like a mantis' arm is like a car, and we will be overwhelmed."

The man was choked speechless.

"In short, we have to enter the city today. What's the matter, the people in their city are human beings, but we are not? Why do they have clothes to wear, food to eat, and houses to live in in the city. We have to endure hunger outside Hungry and freezing!"

Wen Yan raised his eyebrows and pointed to the bag of brown rice: "Isn't this for food?"

He pointed to the tent again: "The magistrate of the county didn't provide a place to live? There is not much food in Chen County, and the road is blocked by heavy snow, so all the supplies are blocked in the middle of the road. Even the grain store in the city has been swept away. The situation in the city is compared to You don't see where you are going."

"Think about the floods in Huaizhou, how many people were displaced. Not to mention eating, the flood broke the embankment, and countless people drowned. Now you still have food to eat and tents to live in. What's more, the food transportation team will soon arrive in Chen County , you are against the Yamen at this time, do you not want to live?"

When the people heard the words, they fell silent.

The man was in a hurry: "Don't listen to his nonsense, the place of Guaizigou is difficult to get through. Now that it's snowing so much, the grain transportation team has been blocked in Guaizigou for several days. It's uncertain when they will come. If you don't want to starve to death , follow me to the city gate!"

Wen Yan glanced at Qin Li, and sure enough, he saw that his eyes were dark.The terrain of Guaizigou is special, so people should have taken precautions early.But I don't want to, those people have faster hands and feet, the dug in the Guaizigou is terrible, and it is impossible for cars and horses to pass.

The two of them also abandoned their horses and came over the mountain around Guaizigou.The mountain is steep, and it is not easy to climb the mountain, let alone transport supplies.We had to fill up the guaizi ditch. In this way, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time, but the disaster can't wait.

The county magistrate of Chen County hurried to the city wall, he stretched his head to take a look, but what a surprise, his master was surrounded by victims of the disaster!

Shen Lianyi turned around in a hurry.But it is impossible to open the city gate at this time. Once it is opened, the yamen servants in the yamen cannot stop these victims at all.It was hard to get the city settled, but it couldn't stand the chaos.
