Chapter V Section 110 The Officials and the People Are One Family
There was silence for a while, and then I smiled awkwardly: "If the second prince has filled his stomach, then the official will go back to take care of the people first." I don't know if I am doing this right, I only know that at that time I missed Huan Huan.
When singing in the wind, the closer he gets to me, the more full of expectations I have. On the contrary, if he is as cold as frost to me, I will have less expectations.
"I ask you to stay!!" Bai Yueyao used the identity of the prince. As a subordinate, I can only obey his words, but...
"I obey." If I were in the past, I would definitely scold him. Instead, I answered him in an official tone. His eyes were full of helplessness and loss.
Bai Yueyao and I found a relatively high place to sit down, while the others were still resting in a low-lying area.
From the corner of my eye, I saw that the side of his face was covered with dirt. I wanted to take out a handkerchief from my pocket and give it to him, but I took it back. Unfortunately, maybe it was just out of good intentions that he might misunderstand me.
Because of the Phantom Wind, I have misunderstood too many, too many things.
After resting for about half an hour, he got up and returned to the low-lying area to continue throwing sandbags into the rolling flood with the soldiers. It was already past midnight, and it seemed that these heroes would stay up all night tonight.
Black Desert Wing and I took the only survivor who attacked us back to the safe area of Baiwen County. Seeing that the people were already asleep, my heart felt a lot more at ease. I think these people should have been surprised for several days today.
Was it the first day I had a good night's sleep?
But people, while you are sleeping, there are still hundreds of figures guarding this county...
I also leaned against the wall and fell asleep. Between half asleep and half awake, I felt someone cover me with a blanket. I quickly opened my eyes. It was Black Desert Wing, because I suddenly opened my eyes.
, his expression was slightly embarrassed.
"Thank you, Brother Hei. You should also take a nap."
"No need." Black Desert Wing's words were simple, but I knew that he was afraid of thieves attacking at night.
"Let's do this, Brother Hei, let's take turns to rest."
"Well, you should rest first. I'll call you later." After finishing speaking, Black Desert Wing sat next to me.
"Yeah." I nodded and fell asleep.
However, when I opened my eyes, it felt like it was night, and my head was resting on Black Desert Wing's shoulder...
I quickly sat up straight and stared at the Black Desert Wing. I felt extremely ashamed and embarrassed.
"Sorry, I didn't wake you up."
"...No, no, it's me who should apologize. I slept too hard. I'm sorry for asking Brother Hei to hold on all night." What am I doing? Really, what time has it been? I actually slept.
Like a dead pig, countless heroes fought hard, and the Black Desert Wings were also afraid of the enemy's night attack and stayed guard all night. Only me! Only a useless person like me slept peacefully all night!!!
After hearing what I said, Black Desert Wing did not continue, but stood up and looked at me: "Go get breakfast."
"Um."
I nodded and followed Black Desert Wing to the granary. I roughly calculated that the rice in the granary was enough for the people and officers and soldiers to eat for about three days. What should I do? How should I distribute it? This flood control
It will take at least half a month to treat.
I have to ask Bai Yueyao to write a food requisition letter to the emperor and ask the emperor to allocate food to us. However, it will take at least four days to transport a large amount of food, and what if there is a delay along the way? There are still three days of rations in front of us, on average.
Distribution is impossible. It seems that we need more water and less rice. However, the soldiers who control the floods need more rice and less water. This is the only way.
"Everyone, I'm sorry, the food in the warehouse is only enough for about three days. I have made a selfish decision, that is, I may have to make the people drink some thin rice porridge these days, and most of them
I will send the food to the officers and soldiers who are controlling the flood. I'm sorry." After I said it guiltily, the people all left. Are they disappointed? Are they dissatisfied with my decision? But, I really don't
There are other ways.
"What should I do?" I muttered quietly.
"The people all agree with your decision!" After Black Desert Wing said, I raised my head in surprise and looked into the distance. More people than before came from the distance.
How is this going?
"Lan Hanlin, we felt the favor of the Second Prince yesterday, so today all the men in the city will go to control the water together, and the women will be responsible for delivering food to them!"
"Yes, and us women, just eat one meal a day. The important thing is the soldiers who control the water!"
"kindness."
Oh my god, my god, is this asking all the people to join hands to fight the flood? I was moved by this scene. They are a group of ordinary people who repay kindness. They know who is a wise person, so they are willing to dedicate their physical strength.
Protect your home, I believe, I believe, Baiwen County will be better after this flood!
I looked at Black Desert Wing with tears in my eyes, and he also showed a gentle smile.
I took no less than a hundred people to the front line of flood relief, while the women pushed food behind.
After arriving, the raging floods obviously receded a bit. Haha, no natural disaster can defeat us with this kind of unity!!!
The officers and soldiers walked towards the food truck with their tired bodies, but when they saw the enthusiasm of the ordinary people, they were instantly filled with energy. The officials and the people are one family.
"Second Prince, I have something to report." After I finished speaking, I looked at Bai Yueyao. His clear eyes were now bloodshot.
"Yeah." I could see that Bai Yueyao was tired, because he would tease me every time he saw me, but this time he was so straightforward.
Bai Yueyao and I came to a relatively quiet place. He sat on the floor and ate the porridge in the bowl. He must be very hungry.
"Second Prince, there is not much food left in the granary. I forgot to write a letter asking the Holy One to give me some rations."
"Sit down." Bai Yueyao ignored my words and simply said two words. I still stood in front of him motionless: "Do you need me to invite you?"
"I don't dare." As soon as I sat down, he rested his head on my shoulder. My body trembled slightly. I didn't know what to do, whether I should push him away or let him go.
Will he continue like this?
By the time I reacted, he was already asleep.
Maybe he is tired, but he has not solved the food problem yet. Forget it, he is not a god after all. I will ask him again when he wakes up.
This time, just this time, I will indulge his nonsense.
Time passed little by little. I didn't wake up Bai Yueyao, but Bai Yueyao gradually woke up after about half an hour...
