Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 390 Zaozhuang
Ji Xun glanced at them and saw that they were from Daqi.

Da Qi can call out Shen Yu'an's name, who else but Shen Weiwei?
"Can you go?" Ji Xun cast his gentle eyes on Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan naturally guessed who the lady the butler was talking about, and asked casually, "How much is the consultation fee?"
The housekeeper said: "My lady said that as long as you can cure her disease, 100 taels of silver."

"Pfft~~ Is your lady's life so worthless?" Shen Yuan laughed out loud.

"This~~" The butler shook his head, in fact what his lady said was that Shen Yu'an's medical skills were only worth 100 taels at most~~
Shen Yu'an recalled that in Baohetang, Dahe Town, he saved Shen Weiwei's life, but Shen Weiwei was only willing to give a tael of silver for consultation~~~ In Shen Weiwei's eyes, 100 taels is already a sky-high price, huh~~
"My wife is not free, please let me go." Ji Xun coldly refused.

"This~ Miss Shen can't think about it carefully?" the butler asked unwillingly.

"Sorry, I won't go for 1 taels." Before Shen Yuan finished speaking, Ji Xun had already driven the carriage up, and the pedestrian had to give way.

Ji Xun drove a carriage out of Lingzhou City from the south gate, and after leaving the city, he drove about ten miles to Zaozhuang.

"What disease does Ah Xun think Shen Weiwei has?" Shen Yuan asked Ji Xun with a smile.

Ji Xun said: "She eats so fat, it must be related to this."

"It must be very serious." Shen Yuan curled her lips and smiled, being too obese and any disease may entangle her, such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high blood fat~~ No matter which one may kill her, and the price she offered ~~100 taels, what a ridiculous person!
After talking about Shen Weiwei as a joke for a while, a sign appeared in front of her, "Lanling Zaozhuang", which is a Zhuangzi that grows red dates.

Jujubes were very popular in ancient times, and logically they would never lose money, but here they lose money every year, and the wages have to be made up by the business.

After the carriage turned into the path and walked for a while, suddenly there was a sound of beating and cursing from the front, "Your hands and feet are not clean at a young age, I told you to steal things, and I can't beat you to death." Then there was a child's sobs and pleadings.

"Uncle and aunt, it's wrong for me to steal something. It's okay if you beat me hard, but I beg you, let me take these potatoes home. My mother and younger brother are about to starve to death. I beg you~~ Woo hoo."

Shen Yuan opened the curtain of the car and saw that a pair of uncles and aunts in front had caught a girl who was stealing potatoes in the field, and were teaching her a lesson there with a stick.

Ji Xun hurriedly drove the carriage up to Yangzhi, and Shen Yuan also got off the carriage.

"What's going on?" Shen Yuan asked.

The uncle said angrily: "Didn't the girl see it? This wild girl stole my potatoes, look at how the field has been ruined?"
Shen Yuan looked into the ground, and there were indeed holes everywhere in the ground, which had been dug to pieces, and at first glance it was indeed very irritating.

"Why do you steal potatoes from other people's fields? Don't you grow them in your own fields?" Shen Yuan knelt down in front of the little girl.

The little girl was thin and small, she looked no more than seven or eight years old, and she was dirty all over, holding a few potatoes tightly in her arms. "No." The little girl shook her head vigorously.

"Why didn't you plant it?" Shen Yu'an asked. Emperor Qi Heng of the Great Zhou Kingdom was a rare wise emperor, and farmers almost planted land regardless of paddy fields or dry land.

"This kid is from Zaozhuang nearby. Where is there any land to grow?" The aunt shook her head and sighed, "It's not that we are cruel. There are so many people in Zaozhuang who are hungry and come to our field every day to dig potatoes~~ They planted us. The potatoes have been planed, so how will our whole family spend the winter? We must not starve to death.”

"So it's from Zaozhuang." Shen Yuan nodded, looking at the frowning uncle and aunt, "I'm the head of Zaozhuang, estimate how many potatoes you lost, and come to the village tomorrow to claim compensation."

Hearing Shen Yu'an said that she was the head of Zaozhuang, the little girl knelt down towards her with a plop, thumping her head several times.

"The head of the family, please help us, many people in our Zaozhuang farmers have starved to death, my mother and my brother may have already~~~ Please, please help us."

Shen Yuan said, "Why don't you get in the car quickly?"

The girl hurriedly climbed into the car, clutching the potatoes tightly in her hand and refusing to let go.

The uncle and aunt looked at the carriage going away and wondered, asking them to get compensation? Is this~~ true or false? Can the head of Zaozhuang be so kind?
After getting into the car, the little girl was so hungry that she probably couldn't die, so she wiped the mud on the potato and took a bite.

Shen Yuan was unpacking her bag and preparing to bring her pastries to satisfy her hunger, when she had already gnawed on raw beans.

"How can you eat raw? Eat this." Shen Yuan handed a few pieces of pastries to the girl, and the girl hurriedly thanked, "Thank you, sister." Then she put the pastries in her pocket like a treasure, and continued to eat raw potatoes. Keep it home for your mother and younger brother to eat.

Shen Yuan's nose was sore when she saw it, and she hurriedly removed the potatoes in her hand, "Sister has a lot of these cakes, I'll give them to your mother and your brother later." He said and stuffed a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake into the child's mouth.

After taking a sip, the little girl's eyes turned red, "Sister, are you really the boss of Zaozhuang? Are you really not the living Guanyin who rescues the suffering?" In the eyes of children, the boss may not be a good person, but Guanyin must be a good person.

Shen Yuan nodded with sore eyes: "I'm really the boss of Zaozhuang, and I'm here to help everyone survive the disaster year, so that everyone has food and clothing, so that no one will starve to death anymore."

"Hmm~ Da Dong's family is a good person." The girl nodded heavily, tears rolling down from the corners of her eyes.

"What's your name?" Shen Yuan asked, "Who are there in the family?"

"My name is Xiaoyi. There are only mother and younger brother in the family. My father got sick and passed away a few days ago." Xiaoyi said, pulling up her dirty sleeves and wiping tears.

Shen Yuan only felt extremely sore in his heart, and took a clean handkerchief and handed it to the girl, but the girl waved her hand hurriedly, not daring to take it.

"How old is Xiaoyi? Do you know who is the steward of Zaozhuang?" "I am eleven, and the steward of Zaozhuang is named Su." "

"Why doesn't Steward Su give you food? I just watched you starve?" Shen Yu'an felt a surge of anger in his heart. The 11-year-old child looked like seven or eight years old. What a day.

With tears in her eyes, Xiaoyi said: "Boss Su said that there was no food in the farm, so we asked us to buy it ourselves. But Zaolin suffered a disaster and everyone had no work to do. If they didn't work, they didn't get paid. Where did they get the money to buy food~~ You can borrow it everywhere, but if you can’t borrow it, you will be hungry~~”

Shen Yuan clenched his fists tightly, this damn manager Su~~ watched the people in the village starve to death without caring, it is extremely hateful, extremely hateful!
After passing a large potato field, jujube forests began to appear on both sides of the road. After the plague of locusts, the leaves of the jujube trees were all eaten up. This year, there will be no jujubes left.

It's a good thing she's here, otherwise how many people in the village will starve to death this winter!
Just as he was thinking, a group of people appeared in front of them, standing in the middle of the road with sticks in their hands, and blocked several big rocks to block the way.
