In the afternoon, there were strong winds and strong snow. The wind and snow lifted off the roof of the thatched house, making the repair work more difficult. Feng Yu looked up at the dark sky, and her heart kept sinking.
It is going to rain!
The weather was so bad with strong winds, ice, snow and rain that she could only pray that there would be no more hail.
The women were making ginger tea, hot water and rice soup in the courtyard. A group of 50 people from Kyoto Guard came to the courtyard to drink tea and warm themselves up, then left and came again every half an hour. It was obviously organized by someone. If there were thousands of people
Everyone rushed in, and there was no time to prepare more than a dozen pots. The women had set up simple stoves in the courtyard and kept lighting the fire.
In the howling wind and snow, bad news kept coming. Too many people were suffering from the cold. Many old people and children were sick. The houses were badly damaged and there was no way to escape the cold. The aunts counted six old people in the West District freezing to death at home. One of them
The family only has a four-year-old child left. This is a very poor household. The grandmother cooks for the weaving and dyeing shop on weekdays. The grandfather is old and does some odd jobs to raise the children. The son died in the war and the daughter-in-law has married far away. On weekdays, the villagers can help
He tried to help, but the snowstorm came and he had no time to take care of himself. By the time the neighbors remembered, the old man's body was already cold.
Qiuxiang was so distressed that she burst into tears. Fengyu asked her to take care of the children and asked the aunts to take the frail old people and children into the hospital and burn charcoal fire to keep them warm. A heavy rain was coming and the house had not been repaired yet. If they were left at home,
If you get cold, I'm afraid more people will freeze to death.
Xie Xun looked at the dark clouds and asked the Kyoto guards to put on their raincoats and repair their houses even if it rained heavily. In the bustling Kyoto, it was unheard of for people to freeze to death due to snowstorms.
Xie Xun also knew that this area was a poor household in Kyoto, so he specially asked Lin Xiao and Zhang Boxing to send people to repair it. They could suppress the Kyoto guards and prevent chaos, but the situation was worse than he thought.
All the medicines and cold-proof clothing in Kyoto were given priority to the south, east and middle of the city. The situation in the west was lighter than in the north. Fortunately, Feng Yu had stocked up on medicinal materials and cold-proof clothing, otherwise many people would have frozen to death during this snowstorm.
There was a snowstorm the year before last, and there was a snowstorm last year. Although Xie Xun was in Kyoto and had been suffering from a leg poisoning attack for more than a month. He heard that the snowstorm was serious, but there were no large-scale casualties. Jing Zhaoyin and the imperial army rescued well, and he had never heard of riots in the north of the city.
Everything is in order. Neither the Forbidden Army, the Ministry of Industry, nor Jing Zhaoyin have ever sent anyone to the north of the city. How did they cope with the disasters in previous years?
Feiying said that the medicinal materials in the north of the city were urgently used by the city, and the entire medicinal shop was evacuated. It was simply robbery. The city was rich and the houses were solid, but they even robbed the medicinal materials and cotton-padded jackets in the north of the city. This was Kyoto under the control of the aristocratic family, and they lived in a solid place.
There are enough cotton-padded jackets and charcoal fires in the houses to keep out the cold, but they still have to rob the people of their supplies.
None of the seven aristocratic families live in the north of the city, and there are not many civil and military officials living in the north of the city. If there is a disaster, who can take care of them?
There were not enough people to squeeze into the courtyard, so Feng Yu divided the people. After the house was repaired, she took warm clothes and went home. She stayed behind closed doors to resist the wind and snow. If the repairs were not completed, she could temporarily go to a neighbor's house to take shelter from the cold. Yes.
Several men caused trouble due to the uneven distribution of warm clothing. Feng Yu didn't waste any time and reported it to Xie Xun.
The young marquis slashed his long sword across the board and violently suppressed all dissatisfied voices. In emergency rescues, things that were not worried about the scarcity but the inequality often happened. In previous years, Feng Yu had asked the nursing home and the escort agency to suppress it, which was quite a waste of words. Xie Xun
As long as you stand there, others will not dare to cause trouble.
Before the rain, Kyoto Guard had repaired one third of the houses in the north of the city. Only the sick old people, children and pregnant women were left in the compound. Chunlu had returned to Feng Mansion and transferred all the maids from Meiyuan to take care of them.
.
Halfway through the hour, strong winds came up, heavy rain poured down, the sky was as dark as ink, sleet and snow raging in Kyoto, a person on the roof was blown away and fell into the courtyard. The wind was so strong that it was hard to open one's eyes. People could not stand firmly on the roof.
, Xie Xun frowned, "Everyone rested on the spot and took shelter from the rain under the eaves."
Repairs will have to wait until the heavy rain passes. Based on Xie Xun's experience in Ningzhou, if the snowstorm is so severe, it will not last very long. As long as the storm passes, repairs will still be needed.
"Feng Yu, why are you here?" Lin Xiao's hands were blue and purple from the cold. He just drank a bowl of ginger soup, and his frozen body gradually regained consciousness. His vision was unclear in the wind and snow. Qiuxiang was brewing medicine in the hospital and was killed by Lin Xiao.
Seeing this, he was shocked and hurriedly came to look for Fengyu, and he saw her comforting a pregnant woman.
The courtyard was full of women, children and children. The Kyoto guards were taking shelter from the rain on the corridor outside. Lin Xiao pulled Feng Yu's wrist to the end of the corridor. Feng Yu was hurt by the tug, "Let go."
"It's windy and rainy, what are you doing here? Go home quickly." Lin Xiao was wearing a raincoat, sweat and rain mingled in his hair, and his face was pale. This was the first time Feng Yu had seen him in such a mess.
"You're hurting me." Feng Yu reminded him. Lin Xiao suddenly let go. Feng Yu's wrist was pulled out with a red mark. Lin Xiao said in a rough voice, "You deserve it. It's such a cold day and you're not in bed."
,What are you doing out here?”
"The medicines, food and cold-warming clothes here, including the ginger soup you just drank, are all brought by me." Feng Yu's voice was very soft in the wind and snow, "If there are no medicines and clothes, even if the house is repaired, this year
Many people will die in winter too.”
"What does that have to do with you? Supplies, medicines, and repairs are all the responsibility of Jing Zhaoyin, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Industry in Kyoto. The wind and snow have stopped, you go home and don't cause trouble here." Lin Xiao was worried about Feng Yuran.
It was snowing, she was not in good health, and she was delicate. It would be very uncomfortable to be sick.
Feng Yu looked at the furious Lin Xiao and said warmly, "Lin Xiao, if Xie Xun hadn't been appointed as the commander of the Kyoto Guard, no one would have come to repair the north of the city. Kyoto has been hit by snow disasters for three consecutive years, who would have cared about the north of the city? The Kyoto Guard only repairs, they
Lack of food and clothing, lingering on the bed, how should we survive? There is a long queue at the hospital outside the door, all of them are wounded, but there is no medicine in the hospital. They are all used in the south and east of the city. How should the Kyoto Guard handle it? I brought medicine and
The cold-proof materials will help maintain stability, diversion, and coordination during your repairs. I have never used Kyoto Guard alone, so when would I cause trouble for you? On the contrary, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't even be able to drink a sip of hot water."
Lin Xiao's face turned red when Feng Yu blocked her, and she couldn't find any words to refute. According to rumors, girls who are stupid, vulgar, and like to wear gold and silver are weak but tough in the wind and snow. She still wears gold and silver, and is extremely beautiful.
Fang Wu worked hard all day amidst the ruins and ruins of the city. His hair was not messed up and he was calm and collected. Although the north of the city was a disaster area, everything was in order.
"Mr. Lin, our girls have been helping the city's north to rebuild after the disaster for the past three years. We have never refused to contribute money and effort. We girls have done everything your government should do. Before Kyoto Wei came, all the people who helped with the repairs here were from our business.
Who has she ever caused trouble to?" Qiu Xiang couldn't help but retort, she had long been dissatisfied with Lin Xiao's bad attitude towards her girl.
