Chapter 82 Stormwind
In the afternoon, there were gusts of gloomy wind and gusts of snow, and the wind and snow lifted the roof of the thatched cottage, adding a lot of difficulty to the repair work. Feng Yu looked up at the dark sky, and her heart kept sinking.

It is going to rain!

Wind, snow and rain, the weather was so bad that she could only pray that there would be no more hail.

The women were burning ginger tea, hot water and rice soup in the courtyard. A group of 50 people from Jingdu Wei came to the courtyard to drink tea to keep warm, and then left. They came again every half an hour. It was obviously organized by someone. They poured in, and there was no time to prepare more than a dozen pots.The women have set up a simple hearth in the courtyard and kept burning the fire.

In the howling wind and snow, bad news kept coming. Too many people were exposed to the cold, many old people and children fell ill, and their houses were seriously damaged, making it impossible to escape the cold.The aunts counted six elderly people who froze to death at home in the western district, and one of them only had a four-year-old child.This is a very poor household. Grandma cooks for the weaving and dyeing workshop on weekdays. Grandpa is old and does odd jobs to support the children.His son died in battle, and his daughter-in-law was married away. Normally, the villagers would help if they could, but when the snowstorm came, they couldn't take care of themselves. When the neighbors remembered it, the old man's body was completely cold.

Qiuxiang was so distressed that she shed tears. Fengyu asked her to take care of the children, and asked the aunts to take the frail old people and children to the hospital and burn charcoal to keep them warm.The rainstorm is approaching, and the house has not been repaired. If they are left to suffer from the cold at home, more people may freeze to death.

Xie Xun looked at the dark clouds, and asked the guards of the capital to put on coir raincoats, and even if it was raining, they had to repair their houses. It is unheard of in the bustling Kyoto to freeze people to death due to snowstorms.

Xie Xun also knew that this area was a poor household in Kyoto, so he specially asked Lin Xiao and Zhang Boxing to send people to repair it. They could suppress the Jingdu Wei and there would be no chaos, but the situation was worse than he thought.

The medicines and warm clothes in the whole of Kyoto are given priority to the south of the city, the east and the center of the city, and the situation in the west of the city is lighter than that in the north of the city.Fortunately, Feng Yu had stocked up on medicinal materials and warm clothes, otherwise many people would freeze to death in this snowstorm.

There was also a snow disaster the year before last, and there was also a snow disaster last year. Although Xie Xun was in Kyoto, he had a leg poisoning attack for more than a month. He heard that the snow disaster was severe, but there were no large-scale casualties. Everything is in order.The Forbidden Army, the Ministry of Industry, and Jing Zhaoyin have never sent anyone to the north of the city. How did they survive the disasters in previous years?

Fei Ying said that the medicinal materials in the north of the city were urgently called up in the city, and the entire medicinal material store was evacuated, which was like robbery.The city is rich and the houses are strong, but they still rob the medicinal materials and cotton jackets in the north of the city. This is Kyoto under the control of the aristocratic family. They live in solid houses and have enough cotton jackets and charcoal fires to keep out the cold, but they still want to grab the supplies of the people.

Of the seven great aristocratic families, none of them lived in the north of the city, and few civil and military members of the Manchu Dynasty lived in the north of the city. If there was a disaster, who would take care of them?

The courtyard couldn't accommodate so many people, so Feng Yu separated them, the house was repaired, and she took warm clothes to go home, closed the door, to withstand the wind and snow, if it hadn't been repaired, she could temporarily go to the neighbor's house to escape the cold.Several men caused trouble due to uneven distribution of warm clothes, Feng Yu didn't talk nonsense and reported it to Xie Xun.

With a slash of the sword, the young master violently suppressed all voices of dissatisfaction.In emergency rescue, it often happens that there is not enough suffering but uneven suffering. In previous years, Feng Yu asked the Nursing Hospital and the Escort Bureau to suppress it, which took a lot of time.As long as Xie Xun stands there, others will not dare to make trouble.

Before the rain, Jingdu Wei had repaired one third of the houses in the north of the city. Only the sick old people, children and pregnant women were left in the courtyard. Chunlu had returned to Fengfu, and all the maids in the plum garden were transferred to take care of them. .

Halfway through the time, there was a strong wind, torrential rain, the sky was as dark as ink, and sleet ravaged Kyoto, blowing a person on the roof into the courtyard, and the wind made people blind.People couldn't stand on the roof at all, Xie Xun frowned, "Everyone rested on the spot and took shelter from the rain under the eaves."

To repair it, we have to wait for the storm to pass. Based on Xie Xun's experience in Ningzhou, the storm is so violent that it will not last for a long time. As long as the storm passes, repairs are still needed.

"Fengyu, why are you here?" Lin Xiao's hands were bruised from the cold, and just after drinking a bowl of ginger soup, his frozen body gradually became conscious. In the snowstorm, he could not see clearly. Qiuxiang was brewing medicine in the courtyard and Lin Xiao Seeing this, he was still in shock, and hurried to find Fengyu, and he really saw her comforting a pregnant woman.

The courtyard was full of women, children and children, and the guards of the capital were sheltering from the rain in the corridor outside. Lin Xiao dragged Feng Yu's wrist to the end of the corridor, and Feng Yu was hurt by the drag, "Let go."

"It's windy and windy, what are you doing here, hurry home." Lin Xiao was wearing a coir raincoat, sweat and rain were intertwined in his temples, his face was pale, it was the first time Feng Yu saw him so embarrassed.

"You hurt me." Feng Yu reminded him, Lin Xiao let go suddenly, Feng Yu's wrist was pulled out with a red mark, Lin Xiao said gruffly, "You deserve it, it's such a cold day, you're not under the covers , What are you doing out there?"

"The medicines, food and warm clothes here, including the ginger soup you just drank, are all brought by me." Feng Yu's voice was very soft in the wind and snow, "If there are no medicines and clothes, even if the house is repaired, this year Many people die in winter too."

"Then what is your business? Supplies, medicines, and repairs are all things that Jing Zhaoyin, Jingdu Wei and the Ministry of Industry should take care of. The wind and snow have stopped, so you go home and don't make trouble here." Lin Xiao was worried about Feng Yuran In the wind and snow, she is not in good health, and she is delicate, and she will feel very uncomfortable when she is sick.

Feng Yu looked at the distraught Lin Xiao, and said softly, "Lin Xiao, if Xie Xun hadn't been appointed as the commander of the Kyoto Guard, no one would have come to repair it. Kyoto has been hit by snowstorms for three consecutive years, who has been in charge of the north of the city? The Kyoto Guard only repairs, they Lack of food and clothing, lingering sick bed, what should I do? There is a long queue outside the medical center, full of wounded, but there is no medicine in the medical center, and they are all used by the south and east of the city. How will the Jingdu guards deal with it? I brought medicine and Warm supplies, help maintain stability, divert, and coordinate during your repairs. I have never used Jingdu Wei alone, when will I make trouble for you? On the other hand, without me, you can’t even drink a sip of hot water.”

Lin Xiao's face was flushed red by Feng Yu, and he couldn't find any words to refute. Rumor has it that a girl who is stupid, vulgar, and likes to wear gold and silver is weak but tough in the wind and snow.Still wearing gold and silver, she is so beautiful that she has been busy all day amidst the ruins and ruins, her hair is not messed up, and she is calm and calm. Although the north of the city is a disaster area, everything is in order.

"Mr. Lin, our girls have been helping the north of the city to rebuild after the disaster for three years. We have never refused to give money and effort. We girls have done all the things that your government should do. Before the Jingdu Wei came, it was our business that helped repair here. Who has she ever made trouble for?" Qiu Xiang couldn't help but go back, already displeased with Lin Xiao's bad attitude towards her girl.
