Chapter 124 The second brother came back early.
Some of these people are easy to persuade, some are difficult to persuade, but most of them will listen to Wei Ruo.
They knew that it was Wei Ruo who advocated allocating land to them, giving them new land to cultivate, and they could also receive relief grains from the government every day, giving them hope of life.
So Wei Ruo's words have a lot of influence on them.
An hour later, most of the farmers had been persuaded to leave, leaving only the most remote house.
Wei Ruo saw that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, so he asked his master to take the people away first:
"Master Chen, you take the government servants to escort these people into the city first. I will go find the last family. We have a carriage and we will take that family with us later." Let's catch up with her in a carriage."
"No, sir, you asked me to take good care of Miss Wei. We can't just leave Miss Wei behind!" Master Chen didn't dare to leave Wei Ruo just like that.
"It's getting late, the rain is getting heavier, and the weather is getting colder and colder. If this continues, it will be too much for your weak body. You go back first. If you are really worried, leave a yamen servant for me." Wei Ruodao.
After struggling for a while, Master Chen agreed to Wei Ruo's suggestion: "Okay, I'll leave a yamen servant for you."
Then Master Chen led everyone to the city first.
Wei Ruo took Xiumei and a government servant to the farthest distance.
The three of them were wearing raincoats and walking on the muddy field ridge.
The rice fields are filled with water, but the rain is still falling.
"Miss, let me carry you on my back." Xiumei said distressedly.
"It's okay. Although I don't know martial arts, my health is not that bad. It won't be difficult for me to go through such a small journey." Wei Ruo refused.
Wei Ruo just doesn't have any martial arts skills, but she lives in the countryside all year round, farming in the fields and collecting medicine in the mountains. Her physical condition is much better than that of ordinary ladies.
The last house is behind the hillside 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 less difficult to improve it.
But it is surrounded by mountains on three sides and is far away. On weekdays, there is no problem. People from the government will deliver rice seeds, fertilizers, etc. Today it seems a little more troublesome.
Wei Ruo and the other three arrived at the last house. The simple thatched house was crumbling in the wind and rain.
A woman in the room held a three or four-year-old child in her arms.
Seeing Wei Ruo come in, the woman seemed to see a glimmer of light and begged for help: "Save my child, save my child!"
Wei Ruo stepped forward and reached out to touch the forehead of the child in her arms. It was hot.
Wei Ruo touched the brocade bag he carried with him, took out a white bottle from it, poured out a pill, and then looked around for a bowl and water.
There was only a bowl with a chipped opening, but no hot water.
Wei Ruo had no choice but to hand the pill to the child's mother: "Chew this pill and feed it into the child's mouth."
The woman quickly followed suit.
Then Wei Ruo said: "Let's leave here first and wait until we get to a safe place to treat her properly." It
was cold and wet here, and there were no conditions for treatment and cultivation. Wei Ruo could only give the child medicine to properly relieve his symptoms.
"Okay, okay!" The woman nodded repeatedly.
"Please give me the baby." Xiumei stepped forward to help the woman hold the baby.
Untie the coir raincoat and hide the child inside your own coir raincoat.
Wei Ruo took off his coir raincoat and put it on the woman.
Seeing this, the yamen servant next to him hurriedly gave his coir raincoat to Wei Ruo: "Miss Wei can't do it." "
Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly. If the water rises again, you won't be able to leave."
Wei Ruo interrupted the yamen servant and hurried over. Go back.
The yamen servant quickly took off his coir raincoat and stuffed it into Wei Ruo's hand. He did not dare to touch Wei Ruo, but only dared to throw it to Wei Ruo. Seeing that he was sincere, Wei Ruo took the hat and said, "Wear your clothes. I'm not a big man, so this hat can protect me from most of the rain. Stop talking nonsense, it will delay things."
Wei Ruo didn't give the yamen officer another chance to continue his ink-writing.
Put on your hat and head out.
When I came out of the house, the road I came from was completely submerged in water, like a swamp.
The soil in the rice fields is basically silt, and it will sink if you step on it. Only the part that was originally the ridge is slightly better.
Wei Ruo told several people to be extra careful.
The few people walked with difficulty and moved slowly, watching the water rise higher and higher...
At this time, two figures appeared in the distance. Because they were wearing raincoats, they didn't know who they were for a while.
Wei Ruo looked at the person coming and felt a bit familiar.
And one of them walked straight up to her, raised his hat, and Wei Ruo could see his face clearly.
"Second brother?"
The people who came turned out to be Wei Jinyi and Xiaobei, whom they hadn't seen for a long time.
Wei Jin didn't answer and looked down at Wei Ruo's feet. The cold rain had already covered her ankles.
"I'll hold you."
Wei Jin also hugged Wei Ruoheng without waiting for Wei Ruo's response.
"Second brother, there's no need. I can leave by myself. I'm not that weak."
Wei Jinyi did not answer Wei Ruo, but said to several others: "Let's go quickly."
Xiaobei, who followed Wei Jinyi, said nothing. He said he carried the woman on his back.
At this moment, lives are at stake, and no one will care about the defense between men and women.
Wei Jinyi's steps were much faster than Wei Ruo's, and he could still walk on flat ground in the muddy rice fields.
Wei Ruo was a little at a loss. This was her first experience of being carried away. 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 bit cold, as if there are four big words written on it: strangers should not enter.
After a while, Wei Jinyi carried Wei Ruo to their carriage parked on the official road.
Xiaobei, Xiumei and the yamen servants from behind also arrived.
Wei Ruo, Xiumei, the woman and the little girl all got into the car, Xiaobei and the Yamen drove, and Wei Jin also rode.
In the car, Wei Ruo took care of the little girl and learned about the situation of their mother and daughter from the woman's mouth.
The woman's husband was a soldier fighting against the Japanese pirates. Unfortunately, he died in the battle. Since there were no men in the family, the relatives kicked the mother and daughter out of the house and seized the fields that originally belonged to them.
The woman could only take her daughter to beg on the street. Later, because of Wei Ruo's suggestion, they were able to follow other homeless people and settle in the south of the city.
When the land was first divided, other people were taking care of the women and fearing that she would not be able to work, so they gave them the land that was less salinized and could be improved with much less effort.
Although they are far apart on weekdays, kind-hearted uncles and aunts send them daily necessities every day. Who would have thought that in a situation like this today, the mother and daughter would be the last to leave.
The carriage hurried back to the city, arrived at the county government office, and placed the woman and the little girl in the warehouse vacated by the government office.
The warehouse is not big. Once you enter through the door, there are rows of quilts spread on the ground on both sides. All the people who were brought here are arranged here.
Some people sleep in one bunk for a family with a small number of people, and two bunks for a family with a large number of people.
