Chapter 123: Having fun alone is not as good as having fun with everyone
Bai Wei felt embarrassed by the shouts of thanks. She stood up awkwardly from the recliner and imitated the passionate speech of the leader during the previous disaster relief: "Disasters are ruthless, but people are kind. Deputy General Zhao is right. As long as you are my people of Dong Qin, it is my responsibility to protect you. You should rest well. After you have recovered, I will send people to help you rebuild your home."
After saying this, there was another round of exclamations.
"General Bai is such a kind man."
"Who says it's not true? It's not an exaggeration to say that she is the reincarnation of Guanyin."
"This is what a court official should be like!"
For a moment, the people present admired this young female general even more.
Bai Wei turned and left, leaving behind a graceful back. Everyone felt that she was mysterious and low-key, and their admiration for her reached a new level.
Bai Wei turned around and came to an empty corner, communicating with the system through her mind: "Stupid system, is the mission completed?"
Lolita Destiny System: "I'm sorry, host sister. Although the host sister has received praise from almost everyone present, the number of refugees arriving in the capital is less than half, so the mission has not been completed. Moreover, we are a destiny system, not a stupid system!"
Bai Wei raised her eyebrows and said nothing more.
It turned out that less than half of the refugees had arrived in the capital, but that didn't matter. She had already arranged everything last night. With Ouyang Yi's assistance, both the mission and these disaster-stricken refugees would be fine.
At the city gate, the guards saw the smoke from cooking not far away and couldn't help smacking their lips: "Deputy General Zhao, you just said there will be meat porridge and other delicious food in the evening. Is that true? Can we go over and try it?"
Deputy General Zhao was so hospitable: "If you are on duty at night, of course you can come. If not, go home and eat!"
My general said that all this money was obtained from King Qi. It is better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone. So spend it as you like without feeling sorry.
If you ask him, who would complain about having too much money at home?
Therefore, the general's action was righteous, and it was a good thing for the country and the people. Therefore, he mobilized his brothers to show their appreciation. Although it was nothing compared to what the general had done, it was also a token of his appreciation for the refugees who were also from Dongqin but suffered misfortune. He felt proud of his general, and also proud of himself!
One of the guards guarding the city said, "I, I, I, I'm on duty at night!"
Another person said, "I'm not married yet! I'll stay here to help you take care of the refugees at night! Just provide meals!"
Inside the city gate, Bai Lian sat on a carriage, looking at the carts being pulled out one after another, his face ashen.
how come?
How could this be?
Let's not talk about the vegetables and fruits. Although the prices of those things rose sharply later, even more than rice and flour, they were not easy to preserve, so she didn't hoard them. But she had obviously bought out all the food stores in the city. Where did Bai Wei get all the rice and flour? And the quantity was not small?
What exactly is going on?
"Tao'er, let's go down and take a look!"
No, she must get to the bottom of this!
Having said that, he got off the carriage on his own, and Tao'er could only accept her fate and follow him.
Bai Lian deliberately avoided Bai Wei's sight and went in another direction, wanting to see how Bai Wei got the food and what her intention was.
Not far away, a family of three didn’t want to be separated, so they simply took their food and sat under a big tree. They were a young couple with a girl about five years old.
The girl was dirty, but she had a bright smile on her face: "Dad, white steamed buns, big white steamed buns, soft and big, so delicious."
The man was wrapped in a white cloth with faint red blood seeping out from the middle. His face was pale and he was half lying on the tree. He smiled with satisfaction when he saw his daughter: "Nannan, if you think it tastes good, eat more. I'll give you some of Daddy's too."
After saying that, he handed over the half-broken bun in his hand.
The girl quickly stopped him, "No, the fairy sister said that everyone can only eat one portion. More is not good, and less is not good either. Nannan eats her own food, and Daddy has to finish the food given by the fairy sister, so that we can recover faster."
As she spoke, the girl pushed back the hand that the man had handed over, and very considerately pushed that hand to his mouth, looking at him with sparkling eyes, as if waiting for him to eat the bun.
The man smacked his lips and handed the steamed bun to the woman sitting next to him: "Mother, you should eat it. You haven't eaten anything since yesterday. You gave it all to me and my daughter."
He was seriously injured, and after all the troubles on the way to the capital, he had no strength left, and he felt that it was impossible for him to come to the capital. He originally wanted his wife to throw him in the haystack and take the child to make a living, but he didn't expect that his wife was unwilling to leave him alone, and she carried him on her back, dragged him, and brought him to the capital.
Along the way, they crushed the few rations they had and mixed them with water and fed them to him while he was still dazed.
Her hands were worn out from the time she dragged the wooden board with a rattan stick all the way to the capital.
With a wife like this, what else could a husband ask for?
Thinking of this, there was a tough tenderness in those dark eyes.
The woman sat beside him, holding a white cloth in both hands, with blood oozing out of it. She looked at him tenderly, "Master, if Nannan asks you to eat, just eat quickly. You are the pillar of our family. Only if you get better quickly can you continue to protect our family. Nannan and I still need you."
The landslide and the ground shaking caused their house to collapse. When the house collapsed, he was out hunting. If he had just run away, he would not have been in danger. But he still returned to the village to look for her and her mother. When they were escaping, some rocks were thrown at her, and it was this man who blocked them with his back. If it weren't for him, she would have become a corpse buried underground.
She has never been to school and doesn't understand anything.
But she knew that people are mutual.
Since he didn't leave her when he was in trouble, she would never abandon him at any time!
The man still wanted to argue after hearing this: "But you didn't eat anything on the way, and you didn't even drink a sip of water in order to bring me to the capital as soon as possible..."
The woman immediately frowned and said, "General Bai said that if we don't have anything to eat on the road, we can only have porridge for the first meal. What if I feel uncomfortable after eating the steamed buns? Do you want me to have problems with eating so that you can get a new young and beautiful wife?"
When the man heard this, he immediately retracted his outstretched hand and smiled innocently: "Then I'll just eat it myself. What's the use of being pretty or not? I've chosen you for my whole life, don't even think about getting rid of me!"
After saying that, he started to eat with big mouthfuls, with a warm smile.
The woman looked at the man and smiled, but she still reminded him: "Eat slowly, don't choke. General Bai said to chew slowly. If you choke to death, I will definitely remarry."
The man knew the woman was joking, but he still slowed down and responded honestly: "Don't worry, I will never give you the chance to remarry!"
The woman looked at the scene in front of her and felt warm in her heart, because this was the best outcome.
She was originally worried that with so many refugees coming to the capital, her husband, who was half dead, would be locked up outside the city, starving to death, or dying of disease on the street? Even if they entered the capital, they fled in a hurry, with almost no gold and silver on them. What would they take to the clinic as payment?
But all this changed because of Bai Wei.
"General Bai is truly our family's savior. If we have the chance in the future, we will definitely thank her!"
The little girl also smiled brightly: "Nannan also thinks that Fairy Sister is the prettiest and kindest person in the world. Nannan wants to be someone like Sister Bai when she grows up."
Bai Lian stood there, listening to these untouchables' comments about Bai Wei, her eyes full of anger and ridicule.
The ridicule was probably because she knew the reason why Bai Wei did these things, which was probably because of her shameful experience. Because of that experience, she was indeed easy to empathize with these untouchables.
