Chapter 124： Brother came back early

Chapter 124 The second brother came back early

Some of these people are easy to persuade, some are difficult to persuade, but they will more or less listen to Wei Ruo.

They knew that it was Wei Ruo who advocated the distribution of land to them, so that they had new land to cultivate, and they could receive relief food from the government every day, which gave them hope for life.

So what Wei Ruo said had a lot of influence on them.

An hour later, most of the farmers have been persuaded to leave, leaving the most remote one.

Wei Ruo saw that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, so he asked the master to take people away first:

"Master Chen, take the yamen servants to **** these people into the city first. I will go to the last family. We have a carriage. After taking that family, we will catch up with the carriage together."

"No, my lord asked me to take good care of Miss Wei, I can't just leave Miss Wei like this!" Master Chen didn't dare to just leave Wei Ruo just like that.

"It's getting late, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the weather is getting colder and colder. If this continues, the weak will not be able to take it anymore. You go back first. If you are really worried, leave me a yamen servant." Wei Ruo said.

After struggling for a while, Mr. Chen agreed to Wei Ruo's proposal: "Alright then, I'll leave a yamen servant for you."

Then Master Chen led the crowd to the city first.

Wei Ruo took Xiumei and a yamen servant to the furthest distance.

The three of them were wearing coir raincoats and walking on the muddy ridge.

The water in the rice fields has been filled, but the rain is still falling.

"Miss, let me go behind my back." Xiumei said distressedly.

"It's okay. Although I don't know martial arts, my health is not that bad. I won't be troubled by such a short journey." Wei Ruo refused.

Wei Ruo just doesn't have martial arts, but he lives in the countryside all year round, goes to the fields to farm, and goes to the mountains to collect herbs. His physique is much better than that of ordinary girls.

The last house is behind the small hill in front.

There is a good flat land behind it, and the original condition of the land is better than that of other places, so it is not difficult to improve.

But surrounded by mountains on three sides, the distance is relatively long. There is no problem on weekdays, and the rice seeds and fertilizers are delivered by people from the government. It's a little more troublesome today.

Wei Ruo and the others came to the last house, the simple thatched cottage was crumbling in the wind and rain.

In the room, a woman held a three or four-year-old child in her arms.

Seeing Wei Ruo coming in, the woman seemed to see a glimmer of light, and she begged for help: "Save my child, save my child!"

Wei Ruo stepped forward, reached out and touched the forehead of the child in her arms, it was hot.

Wei Ruo touched the brocade bag he was carrying with him, took out a white bottle from it, poured out a pill, and looked around for bowls and water.

Only a chipped bowl, but no hot water.

Wei Ruo had no choice but to give the pill to the child's mother: "Chew this pill and feed it into the child's mouth."

The woman hurriedly did so.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Ruo said: "Let's leave here first, and treat her well after we get to a safe place."

It is cold and wet here, and there is no condition for treatment and self-cultivation at all. Wei Ruo can only take medicine for the child to relieve his symptoms properly.

"Good, good!" The woman nodded repeatedly.

"Give me the baby." Xiumei stepped forward to help the woman hold the baby.

Untied the coir raincoat and hid the child in his coir raincoat.

Wei Ruo took off his coir raincoat and put it on for the woman.

Seeing this, the yamen servant next to him hurriedly gave Wei Ruo his coir raincoat: "Miss Wei can't do it."

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up, if the water rises, you won't be able to go."

Wei Ruo interrupted the servant, and walked back quickly.

The yamen servant hurriedly took off his coir raincoat and stuffed it into Wei Ruo's hands. He didn't dare to touch Wei Ruo, only dared to throw it to Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo saw that he was sincere, so he took the straw hat: "You wear the clothes, I am not very big, this hat is enough to block most of the rain for me. Stop talking nonsense, nonsense delays things."

Wei Ruo didn't give the yamen servant another chance to continue writing ink.

Put on your hat and head out.

As soon as I came out of the house, the way I came here was completely flooded, like a swamp.

The soil in the paddy field is silt, and it will sink if you step on it. Only the part that was originally the ridge is slightly better.

Wei Ruo told them to be extra careful.

Several people walked with difficulty, moving slowly, watching the water rise higher and higher...

At this time, two figures appeared in the distance. Because they were wearing coir raincoats, they didn't know who they were for a while.

Wei Ruo looked at the person who came and felt somewhat familiar.

And one of them also went straight to her, raised his hat, and Wei Ruo could see his face clearly.

"Second brother?"

The people who came were Wei Jinyi and Xiao Bei who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Wei Jin also didn't answer, and looked down at Wei Ruo's feet. The cold rain had already covered her ankles.

"I hug you."

Wei Jin also hugged Wei Ruoheng before Wei Ruo could respond.

"Second brother, no need, I can walk by myself, I'm not that weak."

Wei Jin didn't answer Wei Ruo either, but said to the others: "Let's go."

Xiaobei, who followed Wei Jinyi, carried the woman on his back without saying a word.

At this moment, life and death are at stake, and no one will care about the defense of men and women anymore.

Wei Jinyi's footsteps are much faster than Wei Ruo's, and he can still step on the muddy rice fields as if he was walking on flat ground.

Wei Ruo was a little overwhelmed. This was the first experience of being carried away by someone. She raised her head and saw Wei Jinyi's chin and neck.

Even from this angle, I think he is so good-looking, but his expression is a little cold, as if there are four big characters written: Strangers do not enter.

Not long after, Wei Jinyi carried Wei Ruo to the carriage they parked on the official road.

Xiaobei, Xiumei and the yamen servants in the back also arrived.

Wei Ruo, Xiumei, the woman and the little girl all got into the car, Xiaobei and the yamen servant drove, and Wei Jin also rode a horse.

In the car, while taking care of the little girl, Wei Ruo learned about their mother and daughter from the woman's mouth.

The husband of the woman was a soldier who fought against the Japanese pirates. Unfortunately, he died in battle. Since there was no male in the family, the relatives drove the mother and daughter out of the house and seized the land that belonged to them.

The woman could only beg on the street with her daughter. Later, because of Wei Ruo's proposal, they were able to come to the south of the city to settle down with other homeless people.

When the land was divided, the other people took care of the woman and feared that she would not be able to do the work, so they distributed this piece of land that was less salinized and less labor-intensive to improve.

Although they are far apart on weekdays, there are kind uncles and aunts who give them daily necessities every day. Who would want to encounter such a situation today, causing the mother and daughter to be the last to leave.

The carriage hurried back to the city, came to the county government office, and settled the woman and little girl into the warehouse vacated by the government office.

The warehouse is not too big. Enter the gate, and a row of quilts are spread on the ground on both sides. All the people brought here are arranged here.

For those with few people, the family sleeps in one bunk; for those with many people, the family sleeps in two bunks.
