Sir, please tell me, the government officials have said such things, how can we not be afraid? We only took some light things and followed the government officials."
Qi Baoer's eyes darkened.
The middle-aged man accepted his nephew's words with a grimace: "It's not that we don't want to bring the food at home, it's just that we can't. The mountain road is difficult to travel. The government officials said that disaster will come soon. We are all people who have experienced the suffering of the earthquake, and we know
If there is an earthquake, you will definitely not be able to run if you are pushed on your back."
Chen Er finally understood why the people here didn't even bring their food supplies with them.
At first he was surprised when he heard that the people were fleeing without food.
For the common people, food is their life. Who would not know the importance of food when they are about to flee?
It’s just a matter of bringing out the food, so why don’t you even have this little time?
It doesn't make sense.
Now after listening to this man's words, he realized that it wasn't that he didn't have time to bring food, but that the people in Fancheng had already experienced earthquakes.
Don't bring anything with you, just run away first and talk later.
After the government stopped giving out porridge, the chamber of commerce continued to give out three meals a day.
Another man who was also listening came in with a message, "In a few days, all the grain shops in the city will be closed. I heard that the official road to the capital and Fancheng was cut off by the earthquake, and no grain can be brought in."
.”
It turned out that after the disaster in Fancheng, no merchants extended a helping hand to the victims. Not only Qijia, but the entire Fancheng Chamber of Commerce also helped the victims.
Qi Baoer looked at the middle-aged man with confusion and curiosity.
The young man squeezed over again and said angrily: "Those people tell people everywhere that they are not afraid of being in prison. They have three meals a day, and they can be protected from wind and rain in the prison. And as long as there are many of them, there is no way that the government will put them in jail."
Put everyone in jail."
Judging from their expressions, there was no ill feeling towards the Qi family. On the contrary, every one of them had gratitude in their eyes when they mentioned the Qi family.
This is naturally correct. When encountering such an emergency natural disaster, the priority is to protect life, followed by property.
"Fifty jins of miscellaneous grains and 100 jins of cornmeal."
But, you can't say that Fancheng's government did anything wrong.
Oops, these words made both uncle and nephew feel happy.
Later I heard that someone was stabbed while they were robbing something on the street. The person who was stabbed was seriously injured, and he died not long after he was carried back.
When the government was giving out porridge, the Chamber of Commerce also set up a porridge stall next to the government's porridge and was also giving out porridge.
The uncle was too worried to say anything, but he couldn't stop the waiter, another man in sackcloth next to him, who had his hands free and was also listening.
wrong.
"Then if you don't have anything to eat, won't the government give you porridge?"
It's just that some of them don't apply to this time.
After all, the people in Fancheng's government were not informed about the Dragon Vein incident. When they heard that there would be natural disasters in Fancheng recently, and the only natural disaster in Fancheng in the past ten years was earthquakes, naturally what they thought of when they heard about natural disasters was
In the event of an earthquake, people were immediately evacuated based on experience.
When the government had one meal a day, the Chamber of Commerce still gave out porridge three times a day.
If the road is blocked, how will the relief food come in?
The man also mentioned this: "I think this is a lie. If the road is cut off, where will the Qi family's food come from?"
For a moment, she didn't know how to evaluate it.
….The murderer who stabbed and wounded the man has been arrested by the government, and has been sentenced to execution by the magistrate. He will be executed three days later.”
The waiter was heavily guarded, but his attitude towards the victims was not bad. He was smiling all the time, and there was no hint of contempt in his tone: "It's still the same price."
The middle-aged man bowed gratefully to the waiter with his hands clasped together. The waiter smiled and waved his hand, "Today we only have cereals and cornmeal. Which one do you want, fellow?"
While the government provides two meals a day, the chamber of commerce provides porridge three times a day.
The middle-aged man nodded, "It was there at the beginning, with two meals a day per person. It took about five or six days, but it was changed to one meal a day. After a few days, it disappeared. The yamen servant said it was because of the government.
We are out of food, let us find our own solution."
Qi Baoer's expression was deep, but his face still showed the innocent curiosity of someone listening to a story, "Uncle, you are joking. Your nephew is really kind, which is rare."
The middle-aged man sighed first. There were not many people in front of him, but they were already waiting in line. He first asked the waiter: "Is the price still the same as before?"
It’s not sudden. After the government stopped distributing porridge, someone from the Chamber of Commerce has already informed that the food cannot come in now, and they will stop at any time, asking the victims to quickly stock up on food and receive it.
The middle-aged man looked at the waiter and called to the inside, and the people inside responded. Then he walked to the side to talk to Qi Bao'er.
The man in sackcloth said: "Brother, you are really afraid of saying anything. Are those shameless things worthy of being embarrassed by us?"
The middle-aged man smiled sheepishly at Qi Bao'er and said, "Sir, please don't mind. My nephew is hot-tempered. Everything he knows is what he heard from outside. Don't listen to his nonsense."
Sure enough, what the young man said later confirmed this.
Um?
Is there such a thing?
Qi Baoer looked at Chen Er.
Therefore, buying grain became a craze, and in just two or three days, all the grain shops in Fancheng were emptied.
The young man and another man also hurriedly reported the amount they wanted to buy.
He said: "I don't know when a group of people came to our place. They said they were from Jiuyang Town. None of them were good people. They stole things at first, stealing from us, stealing on the street, and then directly robbing."
"Hey, hey, Mr. Qi is really a kind man. He will definitely live a long life."
As he was talking, suddenly, the young man kicked the stone steps next to him with an angry look on his face, "Those white-eyed wolves."
Until ten days ago, the Chamber of Commerce suddenly closed the porridge stall.
Obviously, the Qi family has definitely helped these victims.
Chen Er thought of this key, and Qi Baoer naturally thought of it too.
The middle-aged man patted the young man and glared at him coldly. The young man was obviously afraid of this second uncle. Qi Baoer saw him trembling and immediately stopped.
Chen Er slightly shook his head, he didn't know about this.
The waiter was even more direct and said with disdain: "Our master looked at everyone and took out all the food at home. In the end, just for a few steamed buns and a few bowls of porridge, he gave up his conscience and was not afraid of death.
My stomach is full.”
Hearing these words, even the men in front of the shop felt embarrassed on their faces.
The waiter was so angry that he didn't notice this. It seemed that he was so upset that he finally had an outlet. He pulled the guard next to him to take over his work, and he turned over from the table and squeezed in to pray for Bao'er.
Come next to me.
"Young master, you don't know that the person they just mentioned who was killed was a member of our master's house.
Those people ate our master's food, and even if they were not grateful, they actually stabbed our master in the heart.
Do you think this is a loss of conscience?"
