Chapter 34 Go to my place and cook
In half an hour, the three finalized the implementation plan.

An Xingzhou was very puzzled, and heard that Ms. Shu arranged for the head of the staff to know that she had indeed escaped famine with the villagers.

With this level of talent, are you sure you are an ordinary villager?
The alley on the side of the county government office.

"I should go, how do you go back?"

Jing Yun said apologetically, she was delayed in the county government for too long, and she had urgent matters to deal with, so there was really no time to send her back.

The plan cannot be disrupted, and I will be on the road all night tonight.

"Go back." Shu Yingtong replied calmly, taking a look at the sky, "I should be able to walk around around three o'clock."

"You're a girl walking around at night..."

Although she knew that the idlers were not her opponents, she was still a little worried.

Jing Yunyan lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then bent down and lifted the corner of his robe to untie the dagger, and handed it to her with a gentle expression.

"I leave it for your self-defense. I will probably be very busy during this time, and I won't be able to catch up with the full moon banquet over there. I hope to catch up with the Hundred Days Banquet. Just don't pass it, take care."

"I don't want it, you can go." Shu Yingtong dropped his hand and glanced at his injured abdomen last time.

If there is any danger in this broken place, it is enough to break a thick branch.

Those who can be hunted down by killers need self-defense weapons.

"Are you worried about me?" Jing Yunyan smiled happily and approached her, her beautiful eyes twinkling with starlight.

Shu Yingtong frowned and gave him an impatient glance, "Are you going?"

"Okay, okay, can't I go..." Jing Yunyan surrendered and got on the horse, leaning over and whispering in her ear, "I forgot to say, you are beautiful today."

After speaking, without waiting for any reaction from her, she shook the rein and gave a soft shout: "Drive!"

The sound of horse hooves sounded, and Shu Yingtong looked at his receding figure indifferently.

rhetoric.

As soon as he stepped out of the alley, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a woman kneeling beside her holding her child and walking a few steps, kneeling in front of her and kowtowing gratefully.

"Thank you ma'am, thank you ma'am!"

"Get up."

Shu Yingtong glanced at the sleeping baby who was licking her fingers, then lifted her feet and continued to walk forward.

After walking a few steps, I heard footsteps coming up behind me, I turned around and raised my eyebrows to look over, "What are you doing with me, are you not full at the county government office?"

"No, no." The woman shook her head hastily, and smiled gratefully at her with tears in her eyes, so simple and without any impurities.

"I came here specially to thank Madam. Just now, I heard from the Yacha that I was asked to cook for the folks who built the river. I guess I must have been honored by Madam. Thank you Madam for giving our family a way to survive."

"A family?"

Shu Yingtong glanced behind her, but there was no one else.From the beginning to the end, she was the only one carrying the burden and holding the child.

"Yes ma'am, our family escaped from other places." He lowered his eyes and touched the child's small face.

"The child's father got sick on the way, and I heard that the county government can get a bowl of clear porridge every day at noon, so I stayed here every day and took it home, and the two of us drank it together."

Shu Yingtong was slightly taken aback, the porridge in Fanling City would have the effect of hanging his life, not to mention the government of this poor county.

Seeing the gray lips of this woman, it is not difficult to imagine how many mouthfuls this bowl of porridge will fall into her stomach.

She couldn't understand this kind of unyielding feeling.

The baby in the swaddle was sleeping extremely unsteadily. He sucked his fingers hard a few times and opened his mouth to cry, frowning. There was a little crying this time, but it was very hoarse.

Shu Yingtong looked at the baby expressionlessly: "Go cook at my place."

When the river course starts construction, Zhu Yu will go to supervise the work, so naturally he won't have time to cook.

Whoever cooks is not a matter of having two more mouths, and this woman is not eating for free.

"I can't help it, Ma'am is sure there is no shortage of cooks. Why do you dare to ask Madam to raise three more mouths? I just came to thank Madam for her kindness, and there is no other meaning."

The woman quickly bowed three times, turned around and walked to the wall with the child in her arms, rubbed her knees, carefully picked up the bowl and left.

Shu Yingtong took a rough look at the bowl, it was full of thin vegetable porridge.

I'm afraid she didn't drink after taking it out from the county government office, so I'll just wait here for her to come out and thank you.

With an irritable click, she followed her for a distance, and the mother and son stopped under the eaves behind the county office.

A lot of hungry people gathered there in twos and threes. When the woman came back with porridge, many people silently got up and surrounded her.

"Please, please do me a favor, I kowtow to you..."

"Stop talking nonsense, bring it! The county government doesn't give out porridge today, and everyone is hungry!"

The woman crouched down holding the child tightly, bowed her body to protect the bowl in her arms, shook her head and begged, "No, no. Please..."

Seeing that she was hugging her so tightly that they couldn't let go, the hungry people simply kicked her on the head and knocked her to the ground.

The woman held the child in one hand, and clasped the bowl tightly to her stomach with the other, the porridge wet a piece of her clothes.

Five or six people broke it hard, and when they were about to punch her on the head, there was a cold mocking sound from the side.

"Having hands and feet, they can only be used to beat women for food?"

Everyone raised their heads and saw that it was a well-dressed young woman, so they stopped their hands one after another.

In order to make a living in the county, he still knows who he can mess with and who he can't mess with them.

No one dared to go up to provoke.Judging by her demeanor, you can tell that she is not easy to mess with, let alone how many powerful family members she may have behind her.

"Ma'am, why are you here!"

The woman's eyes were red and she shed tears, she shook the bowl and leveled it, only a small half of the rice grains and chopped green vegetables remained in the bowl.

Shu Yingtong asked her coldly, "Which one is your husband?"

"Thank you madam for saving me, my husband is over there..."

The woman hurriedly got up, and looked at the few people who wanted to grab the porridge just now with lingering fear, she didn't care about the dust all over her body and led Shu Yingtong to the farthest corner.

The hungry people looked at the women enviously, and several women also wanted to go over to beg, but they were stopped by Shu Yingtong's sharp stare.

The experience of begging tells them that it is best not to go to such a person, if they can’t get money, forget it, and they may be beaten.

Lying in the corner was a young man with a gray face and a thin bony face, his eyes were closed and his body was dirty.

"His father, his father, wake up. I brought you food back."

The woman put down the bowl, knelt on the ground and pushed the man's shoulder vigorously.

Seeing that he was not awake, she panicked and stretched out her fingers to the tip of his nose.After a while, he let out a sigh of relief with his shoulders slumped, and continued to push him.

After shouting for a while, the man opened his eyes slightly, and curled the corners of his mouth with difficulty.

"Osmanthus, you are back..."

"Well! I'll help you get up and eat something. It's a bit short today."

"have you eaten?"

"Eat, I met a kind lady today."

The woman smiled relaxedly, gently placed her sleeping son on the ground, and slowly helped him sit up.

With half support and half hug, he picked up the bowl to feed him.

Before taking two bites, the man shook his head, "I can't eat any more, you can eat."

"Hurry up, I really ate it." The woman was anxious, she turned her head and pointed at Shu Yingtong, "If you don't believe me, ask Madam, she brought me into the back hall of the county government office, I'm full."
