Chapter 334 The Eve
This looks very much like those salesmen!

It's just that the salesman is younger.

Gu Yao smiled and thought on the side, then touched Chen Guangran's head, and said: "Go, of course, let's sit and eat." Then he took out everything in the basket.

Chen Jiu and the others also helped put all the things on the table, while Mo Lingqiu carried Chen Guangran into his exclusive chair.

Yi Xuan pouted on the side, and asked: "Sister, what are you doing, I gave these to my eldest nephew." His eldest nephew hasn't finished eating yet!

Why do you want to take all these out!

"I know I'll give it to your eldest nephew, but your eldest nephew can't eat so much by himself. Besides, these snacks won't last long. If your eldest nephew is spoiled, don't you feel sorry for him!"

Yi Xuan frowned at the thought of eating his nephew's stomach, and said, "My heart hurts, I can't let my nephew eat up his stomach, so let's eat together!"

"That's right." Gu Yao carried Yi Xuan to a chair and let him sit beside Chen Guangran, "Okay, you should be hungry too, eat something, and we'll go home after eating."

Originally, he was quite happy to eat, but when he heard that he was going home, Yi Xuan became a little unhappy, and he didn't want to go back so soon.

He didn't even say much to his eldest nephew!

Chen Jiu said with a smile: "How about Xuan'er staying here for a few more days, so that I can talk to Ranran every day."

"That's right, how about staying a few more days and sleeping with your eldest nephew like today at noon?" Mo Lingqiu said with a smile.

Although Xuan'er talked too much, she was still very cute.

Her son is just too quiet, if only he could be half as lively as Xuan'er.

As soon as he mentioned living here, Yi Xuan's eyes lit up instantly, looking at Gu Yao with anticipation in his eyes, "Sister."

"Okay, you want to stay for a few days, and then my sister will pick you up." Gu Yao didn't object to Yi Xuan staying here, anyway, the two families are quite familiar with each other.

Yi Jiang froze and asked, "Sister, won't you stay?"

Gu Yao ate the snack and shook her head, "No, you are reluctant to part with your eldest nephew, so why not stay with your eldest nephew for a few more days!"

Yi Jiang said aggrievedly: "But if my sister doesn't stay, I don't want to stay either."

"In this case, how about we visit your eldest nephew next time?" Gu Yao smiled and said, although Xuan'er is still young, there are still some things that need to be cultivated since childhood.

For example, you have to have your own ideas and be responsible for the decisions you make.

Or, sometimes what you want can't have both.

Yi Xuan looked at Chen Guangran who was buried in the pudding, then at Gu Yao, hesitated for a while, and said, "Then let's visit my eldest nephew next time."

"So good." Gu Yao patted Yi Xuan's head, "Okay, don't get lost, and when you get older, you can come whenever you want."

"Really?" Yi Xuan asked with bright eyes.

Gu Yao smiled and nodded, "Of course it's true, my sister keeps her word."

"Okay, then I will grow up quickly, so that I can visit my eldest nephew anytime." Yi Xuan said, grabbed a spoon and began to eat pudding seriously.

The few people nearby laughed immediately when they heard such childish language.

People, only when they are young are the cutest, the most innocent, and the most able to make people laugh.

When the time officially entered August, the disaster on the west side broke out in an instant.

At the very beginning, the imperial court sent the prince to stabilize the situation there, but after the prince was recalled, the officials below began to obey.

Many people died of starvation, causing those who had no food in the west to rush into the county town and start looting.

Because after the situation in the west stabilized, the people sent by Yi Ranchen came back, so he still learned about what happened in the west from the people sent by Shangguanxuan.

"Miss Gu, our adults said that the west side may not last long. Those refugees may leave the west side, but our adults don't know exactly where they are going."

"But my lord told me to inform you that you need to make preparations early. After all, the food in our Ling County has been to the west. It is not difficult to guarantee that people in the west will think about this."

"Also, my lord told me not to go to the county seat if there is nothing important to do."

Gu Yao nodded solemnly, "I see, go back and help me thank you, Lord Shangguan. Of course, if it is useful to our place, just tell me."

"Okay, Miss Gu, the little one will go back first." The man left after speaking.

After they left, Gu Yao looked at Yi Ranchen solemnly, "Since Lord Shangguan came to inform us, we need to prepare for the worst."

"I'm thinking of waiting for my father to come back. Let's go to the village chief's grandfather's house and tell him about the situation in the west, so that the people in the village can prepare as soon as possible."

When the time comes, those refugees really come here, and they are caught off guard.

Yi Ranchen nodded, looking at Gu Yao with firm eyes, "Yaoer, no matter what you do, I will support you."

Gu Yao looked at Yi Ranchen, laughed suddenly, then threw herself forward, hugged Yi Ranchen, leaned her head on his chest, and said softly, "Yi Ranchen, you are so kind to me."

"Fool." Yi Ranchen caressed Gu Yao's head and said, "You are the person I love the most. Who should I treat if I don't treat you well?" He smiled lightly and said, "Just go forward, I will always be your backer behind you."

"En." Gu Yao leaned against Yi Ranchen's arms and smiled happily.

In fact, the situation in the west is much more serious than what Shangguan Xuan asked people to come and say.

Because there was no food, all those refugees flooded into the city. As long as there was food, they would grab it, and if they couldn't get it, they would fight. Many wealthy families suffered.

As for those officials, seeing that the situation was not right, they all left in a panic, and did not care about the lives of the refugees and the people at all.

When Shangguanxuan knew about it at the time, he was really worried about those people in the west, but now that he is working in Ling County, the people in Ling County are what he needs to pay attention to the most.

Therefore, all the entrances and exits of Ling County are now guarded by yamen, and everyone who enters and exits must be inspected, in order to prevent those refugees from entering the city.

Even the city gate was half-open.

"My lord, people from the west have already started to come towards us." Liu Cheng got the information and immediately reported to Shangguanxuan with a serious face.

"How many people?" Shangguan Xuan put down the things in his hands, crossed his hands and looked at Liu Cheng with a serious face.

Liu Cheng was silent for a while, and said: "At least there are hundreds of people, maybe more, and there are also some in the surrounding counties. Some of them are close, and there is no time to take precautions. The refugees all flood into the city."

Shangguan Xuan's expression turned ugly immediately, and he thought for a moment, "The order will be passed on, and the city gates will be opened at the end of the day and closed at the end of the Shen hour."

"Yes." After Liu Cheng finished speaking, he left.

It didn't take long for the county government's notice to be posted, and it spread in the county at once, and everyone was talking about it:

"That's good, why did the city gate open so late!"

"I heard that it has something to do with the west."

"I heard that the disaster in the west is very serious!"

"You haven't heard of such a big thing in the west. What kind of expressions are you guys showing? Don't you know?"

"What happened to the west side, I just came here, I don't know!"

"I heard that there is a drought in the west, and all those officials have escaped, as if they are coming to our side."

"Oh my god, isn't it, people from the west are coming to our side?"

"No, I have to hurry up and buy some food to put in the house."

"I have to go too. Although food prices are a bit higher now, it's better than having nothing to eat!"

"These people in the west are really, what are they doing here!"

In Yijia Village at this time, fences were erected on the two passages entering and leaving the village. In short, there was only one entrance that could pass through a car.

The passage at the entrance of the village is taken by each household in the village in turn, and the other passage is in charge of the Yi Jiang and Yi Zhen families.

"Miss, there is a letter from Young Master Xuanyuan." Xiao Xu walked in from the outside and handed a small note to Gu Yao.

Gu Yao stuffed the snack in her mouth, took it, opened it, and finally let go of her frown that had been frowning for many days, "The food has arrived, and later you will take people to the small fishing village through the passage, first Wait there."

"There will be ships coming from the pier in the middle of the night. At that time, you will transport the grain to the Zhuangzi through the channel. I will go to the Zhuangzi to check tomorrow."

Xiao Xu nodded, "Miss, this subordinate will definitely get things done."

"Well, go ahead and find a few more people." Gu Yao paused, "Be careful, don't be discovered by others."

"Yes." After Xiao Xu finished speaking, he left for Zhuangzi.

Gu Yao stood up and stretched, and breathed a sigh of relief. Half a month ago, she contacted Xuanyuanqiu through shopkeeper Shen, and asked him to help buy a batch of grain.

Just in case.

Now that the food is finally coming, I'm really happy!

When Yi Jiang came back from the county seat, he saw Gu Yao who was standing under the eaves and smirked, his brows twitched, "Yao'er, what's wrong with you?"

"Father, you are back." Gu Yao said with a smile, "The food I asked Aqiu to buy for me will be delivered soon."

Yi Jiang knew about Gu Yao's asking Xuanyuanqiu to help him buy food, so he was very happy to hear what Gu Yao said.

"That's really great." Although their family is not short of food now, in this situation, more food is better, it's better than starving without food.

Besides, this is food, as long as it is stored properly, it doesn't matter how long it is stored.

"By the way, Yao'er, the opening time of the county's gates has changed."

Gu Yao was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "What happened, how did you change the time?"

Yi Jiang shook his head, the smile on his face disappeared, and a dignified expression replaced it.
