Chapter 137 8 Mile Expedited
A long series of heavy rutting sounds broke the silence.
In the early morning, Yuncheng wakes up in the morning light.
The woman opened the door, raised her head and looked in the direction of the county magistrate's mansion, a flash of sadness in her eyes.
She turned around dejectedly, intending to go back to the room to wake up her daughter. She stopped just as she took a step, then turned back suddenly, tears rolling down her cheeks: "Dad!"
"Ah~" Yun Yingjie burst into tears instantly. After this disaster, he never thought he would be able to see his daughter again...
"Dad, you're back, you're finally back, are you okay?" The woman took a few steps forward to support Yun Yingjie and looked him up and down.
"Dad is back, Dad is fine." Yun Yingjie patted his daughter's hand, gave her a comforting smile, and continued: "Dashan, he should be back too."
The woman was stunned and looked at her father in disbelief.
Didn't the mountain...
"Grandpa, Mom, is Dad still alive? Will Dad come back?" The little girl stood barefoot in the yard with tears in her eyes.
Didn’t mom say dad was gone?
She knew that when her mother said "left" she actually meant "dead". The people who were pulled away on the ox cart every day were dead.
But now grandpa says dad will come back?
Some people who heard the noise gathered around. They all knew that Master Yun's son-in-law had followed him to the government office and was said to have died a long time ago...
"Dashan was seriously ill before, and Dad was afraid that you would insist on taking care of him and hurt yourself, so he lied to you and said he was gone. In fact, he had been in the county governor's mansion, and now he has been cured by a miracle doctor.
Not only Dashan, but many other people have been cured by the miracle doctor. I have asked them and they will come back. With the miracle doctor here, nothing will happen. "
Yun Yingjie's voice was loud, and many people who were still breathing in their homes but were carried away burst into tears instantly.
They thought the patient was seriously ill and was worried about being contagious, so they were taken away for treatment and they didn't dare say anything.
I didn't expect that I would actually be cured by the miracle doctor himself...
They previously thought that the treatment was just an excuse and the purpose was actually to silence them.
Some people knelt down in the direction of Wangque Tower, and some followed suit...
Someone spread the news, and more people spread the news of their disappearance, and the news spread throughout Cloud City...
As the sun rose higher, it was soon time to collect the daily porridge. Everyone took their bowls and came to the central street in front of the county governor's mansion.
There were huge pots that several people could hug, lined up in a row on the street in front of the county magistrate's mansion, stretching from east to west with no end in sight.
On the roof of the County Magistrate's Mansion, someone used Qinggong to shout, "Line up properly, no scrambling, no cutting in line, no running, leave immediately after receiving your gifts, anyone who creates chaos or violates order will be killed!"
As soon as he finished speaking, many men in armor appeared on the roofs on both sides of the street.
……
Today, when everyone received their porridge, they also received a pill, and were informed that they did not need to go to Wangque Tower to get the medicine in the afternoon.
In addition, the imperial envoy wants to select a site in the city to dig a well, and those who have strong laborers in their families can sign up.
Applicants will receive wages and two meals a day.
The court would re-allocate the house of the person chosen as the location for digging the well and provide subsidies.
The crowd was in an uproar.
Some people questioned that there were wells in the city, but Yuncheng was suffering from drought and all the wells had dried up. Digging wells was of no use to Yuncheng. The best way was to cure the plague in Yuncheng, open the city gates and let everyone go out.
They could either seek refuge with relatives, or escape to less drought-stricken areas. Of course, the best would be if the imperial court could arrange for them to settle down in other places. That would be the best.
Some people also hold out hope. Yuncheng is their roots, and they don't want to leave their hometown as long as there is a glimmer of hope.
Some people are also worried that digging wells is a waste of money and time, and can easily lead to casualties. If the well collapses during the digging process, the diggers will be buried at the bottom of the well and unable to get out.
What should I do?
The adults said that registration was voluntary, but those who had men in the family were all terrified. It was said that registration was voluntary, but who would dare not sign up?
The consequences of not signing up are probably something they cannot afford.
For a moment, Central Street was in chaos and noise.
Li Jiaojiao frowned. It was too noisy.
Xie Xiao immediately glanced at the person who had shouted before.
The loud speaker understood and said, "Silence! No talking!"
Beep...
It was quiet, completely silent.
It's not that the people of Yuncheng are obedient, but those who are disobedient are all rich, powerful and capable. They have either left Yuncheng or died at the foot of the city wall, killed by the swords of thieves.
Among those who are still left, there may be some who are disobedient, but under the grace of life-saving and absolute suppression by force, they all behave themselves.
The queue was unprecedentedly quiet and everyone was very well behaved.
If people from other places saw this, they would probably be shocked.
Everything in Yuncheng seemed to be in good order. After dinner, everyone could only go home and wait for arrangements...
……
At noon, the central street in front of the county magistrate's mansion was empty.
Xie Xiao put the letter into an envelope, sealed it with sealing wax and handed it to his subordinate. The moment the two men handed it over, three feathers flashed by.
Li Jiaojiao: ...the legendary "chicken feather letter" that is delivered eight hundred miles away?
After everyone left, Xie Xiao automatically explained: "A good cook cannot cook without rice. We have no people, no money, no food, no water, no medicine, and we are simply unable to provide disaster relief..."
Li Jiaojiao: ...I understand. I’m going to cry poor to the emperor.
"Prince, Princess, lunch is ready." A voice sounded at the door. Li Jiaojiao turned around and saw someone coming over with a lunch box.
The beautifully presented dishes were taken out of the food boxes and placed on the table in the outer hall.
Li Jiaojiao was amazed. He was indeed a prince and knew how to enjoy himself.
She sat down, picked up the chopsticks, looked at the plate of green vegetables in front of her, and then used her chopsticks to pick up the vegetables.
Xie Xiao ate in silence with elegant movements. When the woman raised her eyebrows just now, he knew that she must be thinking about something else again.
He was also worried about whether she could have a good meal.
……
After lunch, Li Jiaojiao rested for a while in the bedroom prepared for her in the county magistrate's mansion.
It’s hot in Yuncheng and my nap is restless.
She took out the cool summer brocade that the eldest prince had contributed earlier and hung it above the bed, and she felt comfortable instantly.
good sleep.
……
After a nap.
Everyone went out and began to detect the location for digging the well.
According to Xie Xiao's arrangement, five points were temporarily set in the city, and the distances between them were almost the same. The place they were going to now was the southwest corner.
The houses in that place have been sorted out by Xie Xiao and have all been handed over to the court for redistribution.
They first determined the location of the well over there, which would facilitate subsequent arrangements in case someone's house was occupied there later.
Li Jiaojiao was sitting in the carriage, with Xiaolang and Ali lying beside her, and Su Xin and Qing Dai were driving.
She didn't look back at the Magpie Tower at noon, so the two of them came looking for her.
Thinking about what Qingdai said, I decided to act faster.
Li Jiaojiao raised her hand and looked at the crystal clear grass on her wrist. Ever since she drank the spiritual spring water, the color of the grass had faded and was now a light green.
But she could feel that the power of the grass was stronger than before.
With a thought, a section of green bamboo in the backyard of the space broke in half and then appeared in his hand.
Li Jiaojiao took a look at the bamboo flute and found it was of average length.
She seems to be lacking a beautiful weapon...
She took back the green bamboo and her consciousness escaped into space. She urged her special powers to infuse them into the green bamboo bit by bit...
