Chapter 313 Don’t you know you’re going to the wasteland today?
Yun looked at Wei Qingwan and then at Wei Ruo, and said: "Okay, okay, since we are all a family and we are of the same mind, let's not talk about the small misunderstandings in the middle. Wanwan will follow Ruoer well today. , learn more skills."
Yun was very happy that her eldest daughter could understand justice so well.
Just like the eldest daughter said, although they have some conflicts at home, they all represent the Wei family outside. As long as the eldest daughter can remember this in her heart, it will be good.
"Then let's go, I'm in a hurry." Wei Ruo smiled slightly and then went out.
Wei Qingwan bit her lip and then followed.
He was still riding in Wei Ruo's carriage. After getting on the carriage, Wei Ruo took a nap against the soft cushions as he had done the day before.
The carriage drove for a while without stopping. Wei Qingwan was a little confused. She calculated the time and should be arriving at the prefect's mansion.
Wei Qingwan carefully opened a corner of the curtain of the carriage window and looked outside.
What I saw outside was not a lively street market, but an empty suburb.
Wei Qingwan hurriedly asked Wei Ruo: "What's going on? Where are you going?"
Wei Ruo slowly opened one eye and replied lazily: "Don't you know?" "
You never said, how can I Do you know?"
"I asked my mother before I went out, did she really understand what we are doing now? She said she knew."
Wei Ruo's voice was lazy, and the only eye he opened was open. Half of it is indescribable laziness.
"Where exactly are you taking me to?" Wei Qingwan asked again.
"It's a wasteland, you don't think I just need to stay in the prefect's house every day to settle accounts and issue orders, right?" Wei Ruo chuckled.
"You..." Wei Qingwan didn't know how to refute Wei Ruo for a moment.
Looking at Wei Ruo's clothes today, she was wearing clean linen clothes. Only then did Wei Qingwan realize that Wei Ruo had planned today's itinerary early in the morning, but he deliberately didn't tell her clearly before going out!
"Save some strength. It's not easy to walk where you want to go soon. It will take a lot of strength." Wei Ruo added, then closed his eyes and continued to rest.
"The refugees from the wasteland are gathering, why don't you bring more people with you?" Wei Qingwan was very uneasy.
If she had known that Wei Ruo had such an arrangement today, she should have thought about it again.
Wei Ruo didn't answer, too lazy to explain too much.
Naturally, there were escorts, and Mrs. Yuan arranged a lot of manpower for Wei Ruo. However, in order to save time, Wei Ruo directly arranged for Wei Ruo to wait for her at the destination.
Wei Ruo's reaction made Wei Qingwan angry and helpless. As she watched the carriage gradually drive towards a deserted area far away from human habitation, her heart was suspended high.
The areas where wasteland was opened were originally uninhabited places, and were more desolate and remote than ordinary suburban mountain villages.
She would never go to such a place on weekdays, and she didn't know if there would be any danger.
This trip lasted half a day. At noon, feeling a little hungry, Wei Ruo took out dried sweet potatoes and tea from the box beside her, and tasted them leisurely.
He also handed Wei Qingwan two pieces of sweet potatoes very generously.
Wei Qingwan glanced at the dry sweet potato and turned her head away without picking it up.
She was filled with resentment towards Wei Ruo at the moment, and how could she eat the food she gave her, let alone something as unappealing as dried sweet potatoes.
Wei Ruo took her hand back, but Wei Qingwan was happy to save food even if she didn't want her. She gave the dried sweet potatoes to the victims who were clearing wasteland. They didn't know how happy they were!
After another quarter of an hour, the carriage finally stopped.
"Big girl." Nanny Qin stood outside the car and greeted Wei Ruo personally. Xiumei opened the car curtain for Wei Ruo, and when Wei Ruo got out of the car, Nanny Qin reached out to help her.
There were many people standing around the carriage, including maids and guards. Some were from the prefect's office, and some were sent by Chu Lan to Wei Ruo.
"Thank you, grandma." Wei Ruo said.
Wei Qingwan got out of the car right after Wei Ruo, but no one helped her or even noticed her presence.
After Wei Ruo got out of the car, she looked around and found that this piece of land was a relatively flat piece among the several pieces of wasteland she had circled to be reclaimed.
But there are still many barren mountains nearby, dividing this large wasteland.
At first glance, both the mountains and the land are desolate. There are no tall and dense vegetation, and no trees. They are mainly grasses that have low requirements for the living environment, and some shrubs with strong vitality can be seen here and there.
Looking further into the distance, there are groups of disaster victims. They are thin, ragged, and unkempt.
At this moment, they were led by a management team composed of government officials and family guards, and were divided into teams heading in different directions.
According to the progress, the refugees recruited by the organization in the past two days will start reclamation activities in this wasteland starting today.
The first step is to weed and plow the ground. The required farm tools such as hoes and rakes should be distributed this afternoon.
After observing the surrounding environment, Wei Ruo withdrew his gaze: "Mammy, I will take people around, you just stay here and wait for me to come back."
Grandma Qin is not young anymore and has been in the palace for many years. The desolate place was indeed not suitable for her to move around.
"Okay, be careful, big girl. If you have any dirty work, leave it to the people accompanying you."
Nanny Qin knew what was going on with her old bones, so she didn't go with her and only asked the guards to take care of her. Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo nodded, and then walked towards the wasteland.
To Wei Ruo, such a desolate place was nothing. There were not many plants growing on the saline-alkali land, and the types of wild grass were relatively single. When she went into the mountains to collect herbs, the vegetation on the mountains was much lusher than what she saw in front of her.
Compared with thorn bushes, rubble piles, and cliff edges, the wasteland in front of us is really not difficult at all.
However, this is not the case for Wei Qingwan.
Looking at the desolate land in front of her without even a decent path, Wei Qingwan hesitated.
At this time, Xiumei urged: "What's wrong with the second lady? Aren't you going to follow my lady to gain experience?" "I'm just
not used to it." Wei Qingwan defended.
After saying that, Wei Qingwan took a brave step forward and kept up with Wei Ruo and his entourage.
There are no roads in the wasteland, only the traces of people walking and trampling them in recent days.
Wei Ruo was walking in front, and within two steps, he heard the sound of Wei Qingwan's pain coming from behind.
Wei Ruo looked back and saw that the hem of Wei Qingwan's skirt was scratched by weeds, and there was a shallow blood mark on the back of her hand from weeds and leaves.
Wei Ruo only glanced at it and continued walking forward.
Wei Qingwan's heart was full of grievances. She lowered her head and glanced at the blood stains on the back of her hands, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
