Chapter 44 We Are Doing Good Things

Xu Qing looked calm, standing upright beside him. Liu Xiao and Su Changhe were similar, leading the patrol team members to patrol around.

If they found refugees and disaster victims who cut in line, they would naturally kick them directly.

This time.

Xu Qing was able to see Jiang Feiying, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, who was well-known for her kindness in Qingbei Town, up close. In the entire Qingbei Town, no one did not know Jiang Feiying, the daughter of a rich family.

The reason was very simple.

It was because of her kindness.

Although Jiang Feiying was born in the Jiang family, she was indeed a lady from a noble family and a daughter of a rich family, but she did not have the airs of a daughter of a rich family. She was kind and had helped many poor families in Qingbei Town.

You could say.

In the eyes of many people, Jiang Feiying was a fairy who had descended from heaven. She was not only beautiful and kind, but also had no airs. Basically everyone praised Jiang Feiying.

Almost no flaws could be found in Jiang Feiying.

If you have to talk about flaws.

It might be that this person was too perfect.

"..."

Xu Qing was also looking at Jiang Feiying. She was not wearing anything luxurious today, just ordinary clothes, but when she wore them, people felt bright.

She personally used a big spoon to serve porridge to the broken bowls of the victims, and smiled gently at everyone, as if she could soften the hearts of others.

Buzz! Buzz!

However.

Xu Qing felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, because just as Jiang Feiying finished distributing porridge, she followed the maids and servants and left, passing by Xu Qing.

The 'evil ghost mask' had a very strong reaction, and even the witch and the evil ghost were about to rush out. The reaction of the 'evil ghost mask' really made Xu Qing's scalp tingle.

I don't know if the reaction of the 'evil ghost mask' was noticed by Jiang Feiying. Jiang Feiying suddenly turned her head, glanced at Xu Qing, and showed a gentle smile.

"Please protect us."

Jiang Feiying said.

"No trouble, this is what we should do."

Xu Qing responded quickly.

"Huh..."

Xu Qing watched Jiang Feiying disappear from his sight, and breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the snowy sky, the snow-covered ground, and the hungry and cold victims.

All kinds of scenes.

Finally.

Intertwined into such a picture, a picture of a corner of the chaotic world.

It makes people sigh.

A few hours later.

In the afternoon.

Xu Qing's duty time today is up, and he was replaced by another patrol team.

In general.

Twenty-four hours a day.

A total of nine patrol teams.

Three shifts.

So.

Each patrol shift lasts eight hours.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Xu Qing greeted the captain of the patrol team that was on duty with him.

"Yeah."

The captain of the patrol team just nodded.

You know.

Eight hours passed.

When Xu Qing returned to his yard, it was already evening, and he didn't have time to eat a hot meal. Instead, Yu Hu brought him another bowl of beef noodles.

"Master."

Yu Hu shouted, "My mother asked me to bring this bowl of noodles to you."

"Okay."

Xu Qing smiled, took the beef noodles from Yu Hu, and ate them clean in a few bites. Moreover, Wang Cuilan used a lot of ingredients.

After eating the noodles.

Xu Qing began to teach Yu Hu to practice LV3 Bajiquan.

In the evening.

Yu Hu went back.

"Because of the patrol, my daily martial arts practice time has been reduced by more than half, and this winter will be over in one or two months."

Xu Qing frowned, but soon felt relieved, "Only one or two months, it will be over soon."

"Bajiquan!"

Boom! Boom!

In the yard.

Xu Qing continued to practice Bajiquan.

Late at night.

Outside the city.

A gathering place for many refugees.

One day.

The number of refugees and disaster victims has reached 40,000.

You know.

Two days ago, the number of refugees and disaster victims outside the city was only 30,000. Many of these disaster victims were people from the neighboring county, but they all ran here.

The reason is very simple.

There are kind people in Qingbei Town who will give out porridge, while other counties basically don't care about the lives of these refugees and disaster victims, so these disaster victims and refugees who want to survive, like wild wolves that smell blood, see a glimmer of hope for survival.

They naturally swarmed here.

There are still one or two months before winter is over.

By then.

If this situation continues to evolve, the refugees and disaster victims gathered outside the city will no longer be tens of thousands, and may even exceed hundreds of thousands.

There is also.

Qingbei Town can no longer not give out porridge.

Because.

These disaster victims and refugees heard that Qingbei Town would give out porridge, and they came here with the last glimmer of hope. If Qingbei Town does not give out porridge, the last glimmer of hope will be extinguished.

It is conceivable.

How desperate these disaster victims and refugees will be.

Take this opportunity.

Those evil demons are interfering.

Qingbei Town is in danger of being destroyed.

It is because of these reasons that the county magistrate of Qingbei Town has become a little anxious and even wrote several letters to ask for help.

What a pity.

These letters sent out were like nothing, and they received no response from the superiors at all.

Another point.

There are only tens of thousands of refugees and disaster victims now, but the food supply of the Qingbei Town Yamen is about to be exhausted. The three major aristocratic families are originally engaged in business, and it is impossible for them to use their family wealth to let these refugees and disaster victims eat and drink for free. .

As the number of refugees and disaster victims increases.

By the time.

Even if it is gruel, even if it is mixed with pebbles and chaff, I am afraid it cannot feed so many victims and refugees.

therefore.

We have to find a way.

The Yamen convened the three major martial arts schools in the outer city, summoned all forces, and formed a patrol team to maintain order for the victims and refugees. This was only the first expedient measure.

Treating the symptoms rather than the root cause.

yamen.

"Do you have any good ideas?"

the county magistrate asked.

"this……"

Everyone present was a senior figure in Qingbei Town. They looked at each other and fell into silence. No one had any good ideas.

"Master."

The county magistrate looked at his master Sun Shishi, "What do you think?"

"this……"

Sun Shishi frowned, but after thinking for a moment, he still said: "In the current situation, the first point is that we must prevent other refugees and disaster victims from continuing to flock to our Qingbei Town."

"Second point."

“We need to find ways to distribute these refugees and disaster victims to other counties.”

"The third point."

"Continue to strengthen patrols to prevent evil heretics from taking advantage of us."

"To know."

"These refugees and disaster victims are actually not scary. After all, they are ordinary people. Moreover, they are hungry, sallow and skinny, and have no fighting power at all."

"What is really scary are those evil demons and heretics, as well as the 'evil spirits' and 'weirdness' that may be born."

"good."

The county magistrate nodded with satisfaction, "Master's analysis makes sense, but how should we prevent more refugees and disaster victims from flooding into our Qingbei Town? How should we disperse these refugees and disaster victims to other counties? ?”

at last.

They discussed it all night, but could not think of any good solution. They could only send people to spread the rumor that Qingbei Town would no longer give porridge, hoping to use this rumor to reduce the influx of refugees and disaster victims.

in addition.

The county magistrate also sent letters to inform the county magistrates of several surrounding counties, hoping that they could take in some of the victims and refugees.

the next day.

Xu Qing's patrol time today is different from yesterday. Yesterday it started at six o'clock in the morning and ended at two o'clock in the afternoon.

Xu Qing's patrol duty today is in the latter half of the night.

That is to say, it starts at ten o'clock in the evening and ends at six o'clock in the morning the next day.

late at night.

Areas where refugees and disaster victims gather.

"..."

After Xu Qing completed his shift change with the previous patrol team, he held a torch in his hand and patrolled one of the areas along a fixed route.

Just started.

Nothing happened. When these refugees and disaster victims faced people like Xu Qing, they were very fearful and did not dare to offend them at all. Naturally, they were also very obedient.

but.

Just at twelve o'clock in the morning.

"Sir...sir..."

At this time.

However, a few victims came over cautiously. Most of these people were sallow and thin, and some had larger bellies. This was because they had eaten too much tree bark, Guanyin soil and other things, which could not be digested and could not be excreted. , stretching their bellies.

"Um?"

Xu Qing frowned and didn't intend to pay attention.

"What's up?"

but.

Liu Xiao still asked.

"Yes...that's it..."

in.

The older victim lowered his head and bowed, and asked a few people behind him to help a little girl over. He said in a cautious tone: "Sir, you... look..., this is the little old man. My granddaughter only needs a piece of cake to serve you with all her heart."

This little girl is not very old, no more than sixteen years old at most. She may be doing a transaction, so she is very clean.

Although this little girl is very thin, her facial features are quite delicate, and she is indeed somewhat attractive. No wonder she would come out to do such a business.

original.

Liu Xiao planned to let them go.

"Ahem..."

but.

Among the members of these patrols, several people fell in love with this little girl, and it was so cheap, they only needed a piece of cake.

To know.

If this is in the city, such as Chunfeng Tower, if you want to find a girl, you will need at least several taels of silver, and the price difference is unknown.

The most important thing is.

Although this little old man's granddaughter is very thin from hunger, her facial features are really good.

"A few...captains, you...you must look down on this kind of thing, but, we have a lower vision, so..."

"Yeah yeah!"

"..."

Several people looked at Xu Qing and the others.

"I would like to advise you, it's best not to do this kind of thing here. If you really can't control your third leg, it's better to go to the city."

Xu Qing said something.

"Ahem..."

Liu Xiao and Su Changhe coughed lightly.

"My lords, all I really need is a piece of cake!"

This old man was in tears.

"Sir, even if we are doing a good deed, they are so hungry."

"Yes! Yes!"

"We are doing a good deed!"

"..."

Several people who were interested said.
