Chapter 1179: The Romantic Girl Paired with Farming in the Republic of China (31)
The character of a prodigal son who was pampered and grew up in a wealthy family in the south, Xu Hoard and Yin shopped all the way.
Once again, I'm glad that information is underdeveloped in this era. In future generations, her pretentious operation will be trending in hot searches every minute.
In addition, after she ended a city's "robbing the rich and giving to the poor", she escaped from her shell and disguised herself as an inconspicuous person who was completely opposite to her character image and sneaked out of the city. As a result, the gangsters who wanted to rob the wealth followed her until they were confused and doubted life: Where are the people?
Can it fly?
Xu Yin not only bought agricultural and sideline products along the way, but also saved people along the way. She visited the dungeons and sky prisons in every city.
In addition, we also went to orphanages in each city to donate money and materials.
However, according to her observation, not every orphanage is good. Some are charitable on the surface but engage in some dirty business secretly.
At this time, Xu Yin would wear black clothes and a long sword, disguised as a knight-errant, and perform chivalrous acts.
So much so that even before she returned to Haicheng, there was a limerick about her among the people: The knight in black is extremely powerful, and the sword unsheathed can cut iron like mud.
The official wanted notice at the gate of the city included another portrait of "her": a bearded man with a sword in his hand and well-developed chest muscles.
There are several other wanted posters. One is for a thief from an ammunition depot in the Ordnance Factory of the Three Eastern Provinces. I probably haven’t seen the thief in person, so I don’t know what the thief looks like, so I drew a masked thief.
His appearance was that of a masked thief; the last wanted picture was of a suspect who had robbed serious criminals from various prisons. He had been photographed by one of the guards. The portrait showed a handsome and elegant young man.
Well it’s all her!
Xu Yin silently looked away, a little embarrassed.
Even she herself didn't know that she had so many identities unknowingly.
If you put together three more pictures, can you summon the dragon?
Fortunately, she was very careful every time. She changed her outfit after finishing a job, and carefully put away the clothes, hats and even face masks she had worn, so that at least she would not use them a second time in this world.
Therefore, even if the guards saw her face, they would never be able to find her through a blanket search and interrogation throughout the city.
Sure enough, the military master who was guarding the door of the train station for interrogation saw that she looked like a weak young man, casually glanced at the ID, and waved her in.
At the last stop back to Haicheng, she didn't want to strain her legs and chose to take the train. After all, when she arrived at Haicheng Railway Station, she had to change back into Xu Jinjin's clothes before leaving the station.
"Sir! You are back!"
Lifting up her long robe, she stepped into the pharmacy and was greeted excitedly by Feng Lu.
"Yeah, I'm back. How is everyone?"
"We are still the same as before, but sir, you have lost a lot of weight. It has been a hard journey! When the medicinal materials arrive, I will take Xiaolu and others to bring them back."
Xu Yin: "..."
Oh yes!
The medicinal ingredients she was pretending to be were not ready yet.
"No rush, it's been raining in the south recently, and the quality of the medicinal materials is not very good. I don't want the existing goods. I have ordered them for the second half of the year, and they will be shipped directly by rail."
"It's been raining in the south too? There's been a lot of rain here recently. I don't know if there will be a flood. If it happens, it will be bad. The terrain in the city is not high." Feng Lu initiated Xu Yin's topic.
worry.
Xu Yin took the opportunity to go back to her lounge: "I'm going to take a break. I'm exhausted from catching the train all the way. I'll go to the pharmaceutical factory in the afternoon."
"Okay, I won't let anyone disturb you."
Xu Yin returned to Yaoshi'an from the tunnel.
This time we walked through the tunnel entrance outside the door of Shanjiao Nunnery. When the door of the nunnery was opened, the little nun who was sweeping the house jumped up with joy: "The abbot is back!"
She was away for a full twelve days this time, which can be said to be the longest time.
When everyone heard that the host was back, they put down their work, dusted off their clothes and came over happily to greet him.
Xu Yin: "If I'm not here, no one will make trouble, right?"
"Reporting to the host, everything is fine in the nunnery."
"That's good."
Xu Yin was away from home, so she was actually quite worried. She was afraid that the military master who came back to check her before would come to bully the little nun while she was away.
"Come on, let me try your skills. Have you missed your morning workouts these days?"
Xu Yin accompanied them through a few tricks and found that everyone had made great progress. Even Sister Zhou, who had not obeyed her very much and obeyed her discipline before, has become more capable. It seems that everyone has not been idle during this period.
The greater the progress, the stronger the ability to protect oneself.
Xu Yin was so happy that she opened the bags and distributed to everyone the specialties of the neighboring city, such as plain cake, cloud cake, sesame candy, and Longjing tea. Everyone had a share.
Just a few kinds of food make the little nuns happy. It’s so easy to coax them!
After sitting down, Qingyuan and Qingchen asked her to do an accounting with their respective ledgers.
Xu Yin looked through the account books and asked about the current situation in the nunnery. She felt relieved after making sure that everything was fine.
"Host, there has been a lot of rain this year. We don't feel much in the mountains. I heard that some villages below the mountains have been flooded. I'm afraid the price of rice will increase next year. Should we stock up on some in advance?"
Although they opened land in the back mountains and planted grains, they only grew corn, sorghum, sweet potatoes and other coarse grains. Rice was inconvenient to grow because it required water storage, so they still went to the city regularly to buy rice.
"Are any villages flooded?" Xu Yin raised her head, frowned and asked, "Is it serious?"
"I can't say it's serious, but the lowest-lying Guman Village was flooded. When Qinghan went to perform rituals for the people in Fuyuan Village, he heard them saying that there had been several heavy rains recently, and the water in the river in Guman Village was overflowing.
On the bank, the accumulated water in the fields could not be drained out, so they were flooded. Fortunately, it started to clear up the day before yesterday, and the water level in the river dropped back, so the accumulated water in the fields was drained out. But the harvest will be affected to some extent.
So I'm worried that food prices will rise next year."
Xu Yin agreed: "It's right to prepare for a rainy day, so let's stock up on some."
She knew that there was a major flood in the history of the Republic of China, but not this year.
However, Qingchen's precautionary measures reminded her.
Although the severe flood five or six years later was a natural disaster, it was not entirely without human factors.
The embankment is in disrepair, and spring repairs and summer prevention are seriously neglected. The funds for annual management of the embankment are divided up by the superiors, and very little is allocated. The part allocated is not really used for water conservancy.
Furthermore, after the floods, the authorities turned a blind eye to the poor people's requests for help and only focused on collecting money and running away.
Xu Yin felt that it was necessary to do something to prepare for the disaster that was bound to come.
She went back to her room to rest, went back to the pharmacy, called Feng Lu to make some arrangements, and then went straight to the pharmacy outside the city.
When Shen Xijin heard that she was back, she took off her work gloves and overalls and came to her office.
"When did you come back?" He knocked on the door before entering.
"I got off the train this morning, come in and sit down." Xu Yin made a pot of tea and poured him a cup, "Has anyone come to see you recently?"
Shen Xijin laughed softly: "I guessed it was you. Lao Wu and the others told me that they were rescued just after they were arrested and before being interrogated. Thank you!"
He offered tea instead of wine and toasted Xu Yin.
Xu Yin touched her nose and was embarrassed to say that she was the culprit.
