"Steamed buns, they are steamed buns. Brother, look there are steamed buns..."

The little girl looked at the hot and chubby white steamed buns in the oil paper bag, her eyes were bright, and she wanted to reach out to take it but was a little timid. The little boy held his sister's hand and looked at Su Jin'er with a blushing face without saying anything.

Seeing this, Su Jin'er took the initiative to stuff a steamed bun into each of their hands. "It's okay, these are all for you, eat them."

"Thank you, big sister." Compared with the leftover pieces of rice that had a sizzling smell and didn't know how long they had been there, the little girl couldn't resist the temptation of the white flour steamed buns and couldn't wait to grab them and eat them.

The little boy hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth and taking a bite. At the same time, he asked: "Sister, why do you want to give us food?"

I ran away from my hometown all the way, and the people who met them either bullied them when they saw their young age, or walked away with disgust on their faces. Occasionally, it was rare for a kind person to give them some leftovers.

Although he is young, he can still tell the difference between good and bad clothes. He has never been so beautiful and dressed so exquisitely and expensively. An adult has given them things. When he went to sell his wooden dolls to her before, he thought that his sister had been hungry for a long time.

It took a hundred percent courage to dare to go there.

Su Jin'er touched the boy's head and said, "Aren't you going to carve a wood carving for your sister? What if the carving breaks when you're hungry, so I brought you some food by the way. Where are your parents?"

The boy replied: "The whole village was flooded. My father died in the war a few years ago. When the water came up, the house collapsed and my mother disappeared. Grandpa was swept away by the water."

Missing, there is a chance that you will not be able to escape that situation...

Su Jin'er paused and asked, "Where is your hometown? Do you have any other relatives?"

The boy shook his head and choked up: "Our family is in Daniu Village, Huai County. We have no relatives. Originally, after my mother disappeared, my grandfather knew the water and took us out of the village. However, the water was too strong. My grandfather helped me and my sister to the shore one by one.

The high slope next to it was in the water and never got up again. We will go back one day."

"The flood has completely submerged the village. How will we go back in the future?"

She remembered that when the court officials reported that all of Huai County was flooded, it was the most severely affected area.

The little girl swallowed the food in her mouth and replied first: "Duoduo knows, mother said that there are a lot of Achnatherum splendens in our hometown. Even if it is flooded by a big flood, it will grow back when the water recedes. Duoduo and

Brother, as long as we follow the road with splendens, we can find our home. My parents and grandpa will definitely be waiting for us where there are splendens."

The boy was silent.

Su Jin'er was also silent, her heart felt like it was being grabbed by something, and she felt sour and uncomfortable. The fun of shopping that she had originally had disappeared without a trace.

She stood up slowly and looked at the large mess of cloth tents in front of her. No matter in which era, natural disasters, man-made disasters, hunger, death, and disease are everywhere and are inevitable. Especially when encountering natural disasters, opponents

It is simply a disaster for ordinary people who have no power to restrain themselves. There are definitely more than one such miserable family. She is not a saint. Although she sympathizes with these people, she can only do what she can.

Once the flood control outline is refined, if it is approved and implemented, and preparations are made for early prevention, the floods will be more or less under control.

While the little boy was sitting cross-legged on the ground carving, Su Jin'er walked around and observed silently. After a visual estimate, there were at least a thousand people in this area of ​​cloth, which was really not a small number.

When meeting a refugee, people just look up at her and then go about their own business in a numb manner.

Not far away, a white-haired old mother struggled to crawl forward, smacking her mouth and looking straight at the boiling pot. She tremblingly begged: "Zhu... Mom can't climb anymore, please give me a break."

Let me take a bite, mom is so hungry..."

A rough middle-aged man helped her back with red eyes: "Mom, if you bear it any longer, I'll go find something to eat and come back right away. Mom, you can't drink anymore. Shanzi, his wife, and his father will die from eating this."

, I will definitely be able to find something to eat today, just keep holding on!"

"Silly thing... Look at so many people eating. If you don't hurry up, you'll have to wait until the next round... It's better to be a full person than a starving person. Hurry up and scoop a bowl for your mother, and be obedient...

Ahem... Do you really want to see your mother starve to death... Ahem..."

"mother!"

"Hurry up and give me something to eat... What a sin. You have to abandon such a good wife and carry me as an old woman to escape. How many more years can I live... Ahem... Once the water is flushed, nothing will be left. Who knows?

If you are still willing to marry you, who will take care of you when your mother is gone..."

"She wanted to leave you, mother, first. Mother, you gave me birth and raised me, and you brought me up with great difficulty. You are so good to her, and that stinky bitch is so cruel. I don't want this kind of woman."

"You... alas..."

Su Jin'er listened to the argument between mother and son and looked towards the big pot. There were already many people waiting in line beside the pot with bowls in their hands. When she saw clearly what was being scooped out of the pot, she felt

Big earthquake.

What’s being boiled in the pot is not grain, it’s soup made from grass roots and bark that have been cooked and stirred into balls!

No matter how good a person's resistance is, if you eat this food for a long time, it will be a problem if you don't eat it!

"Sister, it's all carved. See if it looks like it. I can modify the difference." The little boy moved quickly and ran over with a wooden doll in one hand.

"Yes, the carvings are very similar, no need to change." After carving, a pair of dolls were placed side by side and were only about the size of a palm. Su Jin'er nodded with satisf, took them and put them away, while taking out the small dime of silver she had left over from buying steamed buns.

, quietly stuffed it into the little boy's hand from an angle that no one else could see, and whispered: "This is the reward for the doll. Take it, it will last for a few days. Don't let anyone snatch it away. I have to leave first."

The little boy opened his mouth. He originally wanted to say that it was too much, he only needed a few copper coins, but when she told him to be silent, he clenched his fists tightly, nodded heavily, and watched Su Jin'er return.

Got to the city.

It took another half a day to go back and forth from the outskirts of the city. As soon as Su Jin'er returned to the city, she quietly entered the Prime Minister's Mansion through the back door while the man in the iron mask was not following her. She went straight to the underground passage in her yard and hugged her in a short time.

The small box slipped out again.

Half an hour later, they arrived at Prince Duan's Mansion.

Xiao Xuan, who couldn't find anyone on the street and had returned home, opened the box and took a look, and exclaimed: "Twenty high-quality night-light pearls, I can't get so many at once. Xiao Jin'er, you are really doing it for the emperor."

I’m willing to smash it.”

"Don't talk too much, business is more important. I really don't have the manpower, so I can only ask you to arrange this matter."
