Chapter 214 Good people have good rewards(1/2)
Thinking about it, Lu Fang dropped the tattered oil-paper umbrella in his hand and rushed into the rain.
The wind force is probably above Level 6, and whether the shelter outside the city can withstand it is a question.
The light rain almost soaked his hair in just a few moments.
Go to the cross street.
The streets are in a mess.
The blown tents and umbrellas were still rolling on the ground, as well as many fresh fruits and vegetables, snacks, handmade products, etc.
Apparently it was dropped by vendors as they hurriedly took shelter from the rain.
They were all huddled under the eaves of the street to take shelter from the rain.
Some were silent, some sighed, whispered, and some even beat their chests and stamped their feet.
This little thing is naturally nothing to Lu Fang. But to them, it may be the family's rations for the next few days.
I got up before dawn, braved the rain, went to the fields to pick these vegetables, and then carried a load to the city to sell them. No one expected to encounter such bad weather.
Lu Fang paused slightly when he saw someone picking up his goods that had been blown away by the wind in the street despite such strong wind and rain.
He hated to see such a scene.
My eyes turned red unconsciously.
In his previous life, before his mother passed away, this was how he was raised!
Those few vegetable plots contain my mother’s hard work and expectations.
And these fruits and vegetables scattered now should be the favorites of these vendors, right?
For some people, life is very difficult.
But then, Lu Fang still ran towards the outside of the south city.
Pictures of past lives flashed through my mind.
Mother carried the vegetable basket on her back, held him with her left hand, and walked on the winding ridge of the field with a flashlight.
Occasionally when I wake up and open my eyes, it is still dark outside the window, but there is no sound of mother's breathing around me. I reach out and touch it, and the place where my mother sleeps is already cold...
Lu Fang ran faster and faster.
Unconsciously resort to the first level of the eight-step cicada-catching technique.
The speed increased even more.
He was alone on the official road outside the city.
It was more than a mile, and it only took a few minutes to reach it.
The wind whistled.
But seeing the temporary shelter on the open ground, Lu Fang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
These shelters are prototypes made from local materials, nailed into the ground with masson pine tree trunks from the mountains, and built firmly with double-headed hooks. Then canvas is placed on top and around them.
It is very simple and can provide shelter from wind and rain.
Fortunately it's very solid.
Although the edges of the canvas were blown by the wind, the shelter showed no signs of being blown away.
The workers were nowhere to be seen at the moment, presumably hiding in shelters to take shelter from the rain.
Lu Fang stood in the rain and counted roughly, forty-six shelters had been built.
And in just a moment, the rain on the official road had already reached his ankles.
Lu Fang ran towards Ningyuan County again.
The water is getting deeper and deeper.
The drainage system in Ningyuan County simply does not have time to discharge so much rainwater.
By the time Lu Fang ran back to Bestore, the rain on the street had already covered his calves.
Along the street, many shops are already packing their things in a hurry.
Such heavy rain really shocked them.
If this continues for a long time, the rain will probably spread into the shop.
In the Bestore, Chen Youxi, Fu'er, and Zhu'er were also moving things. They hurriedly put away the snacks in the cabinets in sackcloth bags.
Lu Fang also saw several unknown people helping inside.
This made him stunned.
Walking into the shop, Chen Youxi saw him dripping wet and said, "Why did you come back at this time?"
Lu Fang's trouser legs were no longer dripping water, but water.
There was a pool of water soon where I stood.
Lu Fang said: "Go and check out the temporary shelter outside the city."
Then he looked at the people he didn't know.
Chen Youxi smiled and said: "They are all neighbors who came to take shelter from the rain and helped us receive the goods."
Lu Fang couldn't help but was stunned again.
Then he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, everyone."
There are still a lot of good people these days.
A middle-aged woman with a dark complexion and her hair tied up with a green rag turned around and said with some restraint: "You are the Lu Dong family, this is what we should do. You are a great benefactor of our Ningyuan County.
"
"yes!"
An old farmer also said: "We have all heard about you giving alms here!"
In an instant, Lu Fang also received a wave of admiration points.
I feel a little warm in my heart.
Good people are rewarded?
"It's just a donation of rice, but you can't be considered a great philanthropist."
Lu Fang said quickly, and then packed up his things together.
Chen Youxi looked at him with a somewhat embarrassed look and smiled.
But it’s rare to see Lu Fang showing such an appearance!
What a busy day.
After all the snacks on the bottom two layers were collected and piled on top of the cabinet, the fruit rain had really spread into the shop.
Several people were treading in the water.
But now, the rain has finally subsided a little.
The water has no tendency to spread upward.
Lu Fang clapped his hands and said, "Okay, that's it. Thank you for your hard work."
There is no place to store goods.
If the stagnant water continues to rise, it will be no more than putting all the goods on the rafters.
Several people stopped.
Fu'er chewed White Rabbit toffee in her mouth and said, "This rain is too heavy! I have never seen such heavy rain in my whole life!"
Lu Fang glared at her gently and said, "Don't just eat it for yourself, get some for the villagers."
Fu'er stuck out her tongue and quickly took food from the cupboard and distributed it to several neighbors.
There were two middle-aged women, an old farmer, a middle-aged man, and a child who was probably only seven or eight years old.
They were all a little embarrassed and declined again and again.
Lu Fang smiled and said: "You're welcome, they are just some worthless snacks."
Only then did they accept it.
The child held the candy in his hand and carefully stuffed one into his mouth. His eyes lit up instantly.
Then he turned his head and said to a middle-aged woman: "Mom, it's so sweet...it's so delicious."
The middle-aged woman touched his head and said, "Eat slowly."
Then he grabbed all the candies in the child's hands and stuffed them into his pocket. Look at Lu Fang, he looked very grateful.
Lu Fang knew that she probably wanted to keep these candies and let the child eat them slowly.
The snacks in Bestore are not cheap, but they are only relative to the ordinary people in Ningyuan County.
