Dragging your family with you to escape famine? Don’t be afraid, I have room to fill the granary 171 The Tu family and his son were thrown into the mountains and their bodies were dumped

"How is the current situation downstream?" Tao Qiqi asked.
Fu Shi replied: "The lower reaches are under the jurisdiction of another county. Their river is currently draining normally. The villages near the river have not been greatly affected except that crops have not been planted."
"In addition, after the river in Jinxiang County was filled in two years ago, the magistrate of the upstream county, Changdao County, knew about it and ordered people to dig a new river to connect to the river in the downstream county street of Jinxiang County."
"In this way, their drainage has two directions, one is towards the new river channel, and the other is towards Jinxiang County."
"After all, the villagers here in Jinxiang County also need water to grow crops."
"So now there is no problem upstream, and there is no problem downstream. Only the entire Jinxiang County in the middle, including the villages, is flooded. There is no way, they are the only ones who have no river drainage!"
After Fu Shi finished speaking, seeing that Tao Qiqi didn't speak, he quickly said: "Actually, it's thanks to Jinxiang County for taking over everything this time."
"How do you say it?" Lixia asked.
"Because the water in Changdao County flows in two directions and drains quickly, Changdao County is not flooded. The water in Jinxiang County is blocked here and cannot be drained out, so the drainage pressure downstream is not that great, so they also
The fate of being flooded was avoided. Otherwise, with the momentum of this flood, it is not impossible to flood Jinxiang County and downstream counties together. Even Changdao County will not be spared."
"Now if we exchange one Jinxiang County for one upstream, the safety of two counties downstream will not be compromised."
After listening to Fu Shi's words, Tao Qiqi changed the subject and asked: "How are the folks in other villages doing in the past two days?"
As soon as Fu Shi heard this question, he immediately smiled and replied: "Miss Xiaoyu understands our girls' hearts best. So this morning I sent everyone to check the situation in each village, and also sent other supplies that each village lacked."
"After all the supplies were delivered, the situation of the villagers was much better. In addition, there are village doctors in each village. With the medicine given to them by the girl, their physical condition has improved greatly. The fever has basically disappeared, and only
Some villagers still have some coughs, and they should be fine after drinking the medicine for two more days."
After hearing the news, Tao Qiqi felt relieved.
Then she thought of Magistrate Tu and Mr. Tu who were tied up by her at the gate of the county government office.
Tao Qiqi asked again: "Have the kidnapped Magistrate Tu and Young Master Tu been dealt with?"
Fu Shi replied: "I came over yesterday to see the two guys. They were completely soaked. Then we carried them up the mountain and dumped their bodies in the mountains. If we didn't dump the bodies, we wouldn't dare to be eaten by the fish here.
Eat the fish in here."
Lixia on the side smiled and said: "Then you are not afraid of being eaten by wild beasts in the mountains. Why don't you go and fight the wild beasts back to eat?"
Fu Shi: "That's different!"
Lixia: "Why is it different?"
Fu Shi: "Think about it! Fish are small, and when they grow up after eating them, we will feel diaphragm when we eat fish. But beasts are different! Once they grow bigger, they taste different."
"Besides, the most important thing is that we don't have to hunt in that location! If we change the location, we won't be in trouble. After all, even if the beasts run away, they won't run from this hilltop to that hilltop!"
Li Xia nodded after hearing this: "It seems quite reasonable."
At this time, Tao Qiqi on the side said angrily: "It is right to throw it into the mountains. Don't stay here and pollute the water in this pool. It is best to throw it into the mountains and be eaten without even the bones and dregs. Such scum is now
Such an outcome would be considered an advantage to them."
Listening to Tao Qiqi's angry voice, Li Xia and Fu Shi both had a tacit understanding and stopped talking.
Not long after, the bamboo raft reached the shore again, and then I heard Fu Shi say: "Girl, we are here, we can change the carriage."
"Okay." Tao Qiqi agreed, then got off the bamboo raft with Li Xia's help, and then changed into the carriage.
However, as soon as they got on the carriage, Tao Qiqi looked at Lixia and asked: "Lixia, are you all okay in Changdao County these days?"
Li Xia replied: "In the county government office, the magistrate and Mr. Lu take special care of us, and everyone is very nice. As for you, girl, I haven't seen you for only two days, why do you feel that you have lost weight?"
Tao Qiqi: "Don't talk about it. I didn't sleep all night the night before yesterday. I slept for half a day at dawn and ran to the mountains in the afternoon. I felt like I slept but didn't sleep last night. This is not because I have lost weight, but because I am haggard.
"
The night before last, Tao Qiqi set up a tent next to their house in order to keep an eye on Shunzi's wife.
As a result, the child cried all night last night, and the tent itself had no sound insulation effect, so she was tortured by the child's crying all night. She felt vaguely as if she had slept, but also as if she had not slept.
When Lixia heard this, he immediately said: "Girl, please sleep next to me in the carriage for a while. I will call you when I arrive."
"Okay." Tao Qiqi agreed, yawned and fell asleep leaning on Li Xia's shoulder.
Looking at the sleeping girl, Li Xia also looked distressed. He hurriedly said to Fu Shi, who was driving the carriage: "Fu Shi, the girl is asleep. Please hurry up, be careful, and don't jolt the girl."
After saying that, he took out the cloak prepared in the carriage and covered Tao Qiqi, for fear that his girl would catch a cold.
After Fu Shi, who was driving the carriage, heard Li Xia's words, the carriage obviously slowed down a lot, and it became less bumpy once it slowed down.
This made Tao Qiqi sleep more comfortably.
Of course, because of this, it was already dark by the time they returned to Changdao County.
Fortunately, we walked slowly and the horses could still see the road, so they brought everyone back without any accidents.
Qi Mei and his party, who were originally waiting for Tao Qiqi and the others to come back for dinner, immediately gathered around when they saw Tao Qiqi's figure.
"Why did you come back so late? Did something happen on the way?" Qi Mei asked with a worried look.
Looking at her worried mother, Tao Qiqi hurriedly explained: "Mom, no. After getting on the carriage, I was too sleepy. Fu Shi was worried that I didn't have a good rest, so the carriage went slowly and I came back late.
"
"Oh, I thought you would be able to come back in time for dinner, but I never saw you come back. I thought something happened on the way. Are all the villagers who are suffering okay now?" Qi Mei asked.
"The refugees have no major difficulties now. The only problem now is the flooded Jinxiang County. When we came back, the entire Jinxiang County had been flooded. The water level did not fall but was still rising. Looking at the current situation, I am afraid that the entire
Jinxiang County must be relocated."
Jiang Su nodded: "Well, since you haven't been at home these two days, Xiaoyu also asked everyone to check the surrounding areas. Now I'm afraid it's difficult to drain the water, so the only option is to move it."
"But relocation is not a trivial matter, it costs a lot of money." Tao Qiqi said this, suddenly thought about it again, then looked at everyone and asked: "By the way, how is the fundraising going these days?
