Chapter 311 The Unlucky Xu Yunli
For the women who were sent back, Xu Jinren specially found some maids to help, including preparing hot water and helping to prepare food. After everyone worked for most of the day, these people finally changed into clean clothes.
Although many people have come to ask when they can come to recognize their relatives, Xu Jinren has never given in.
The same explanation was given to the outside world: these people had to stay in the military camp for a few days first and let the doctors give them a thorough physical examination before making any further decisions.
Everyone was anxious, but they also knew that the general had good intentions, so they had to wait patiently.
Yuxiu also came back from Wulong Town today, and brought Xu Yunli with her.
The truth is that both brothers wanted to see their father Xu Jinren in person, but Xu Yunzhe still had to defend Wulong Town, so he had to follow Yuxiu here.
The father and son hadn't seen each other for a long time and both were a little excited. No one disturbed them and everyone went outside so that they could have a good talk.
However, what Yuxiu could never have imagined was that when Xu Jinren, the old father, saw his son, he did not ask about his son's well-being or cry, but instead asked for the clairvoyance hidden in his arms.
"You spend the whole day with your elder brother. This thing is of no use to you. You might as well give it to your father..."
After hearing what his father said, Xu Yunli's tears that had already welled up in his eyes were forced back.
I wanted to ask if my father had suffered a lot these days, and to tell him how anxious and sad my grandmother and mother were when the news of his disappearance reached the capital...
But watching the other party take away his clairvoyance with an attitude that it was his due, Xu Yunli could no longer utter the words in his heart. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say for a long time.
"Come on, when did you learn those womanly ways? Go back if you have nothing to do. Don't worry about your father. Just guard Wulong Town. I'll finish my work here in a few days and then come find you..."
When Xu Jinren saw his youngest son's red eyes, he thought he was worried about him and was a little uncomfortable, so he waved his hand and sent the man away.
Yuxiu greeted Xu Jinyi and thought about going to see the women who had just been sent back.
Qi Siyuan called her and said he would go with her.
Yuxiu had no objection, so the two of them went to take a look at the place allocated for the women to temporarily live in.
At this time, there were many big pots set up outside, and many people were busy working around them. Yuxiu took a look and saw that the rice porridge in the pot was bubbling and emitting a fragrant aroma. Everyone was guarding the pot, with longing in their eyes.
"The military doctor took their pulses today and found that they all had many ailments. Some of the women with more serious illnesses have been separated from them. They have not had enough to eat all year round, so it would be good for them to drink some rice porridge to nourish their stomachs."
Qi Siyuan introduced it on the side, and Yuxiu nodded, remembering what Aunt Bao said, that is, she would rather not eat meat for the rest of her life, but want to have a sip of rice porridge again.
This was because the rice production in Beidi was very small, and only the nobles in Beidi were qualified to eat it. Ordinary people had few opportunities to eat it, let alone the slaves who were snatched back.
Normally, they would have to pinch their noses before they could drink the fishy mutton soup or goat milk.
Of course, mutton soup and goat milk are not something they can eat often. Most of the time, everyone fills their stomachs with some wild vegetable soup and black-faced steamed bread.
"These people are pitiful. Even if they come back alive, they don't know how they will live in the future."
Yuxiu sighed and glanced around, and saw a woman adjusting her hair bun from time to time.
There was a wooden hairpin inserted in the bun. The style looked very simple, but it was thicker than other hairpins.
When the woman turned her head, she met Yuxiu's gaze. At that moment, there was a hint of fear in her eyes, and then she quickly lowered her head, pretending to be chatting and laughing with others as if nothing had happened.
Yuxiu smiled and turned her gaze away as if she hadn't noticed anything.
"Is there something wrong with that person just now?"
The two of them walked slowly forward, and when they were some distance away from those people, Qi Siyuan asked softly.
"Well, that hairpin of hers... I think there's something fishy about it..."
Yuxiu sighed. Although Xu Jinren's original intention was good, this also gave others the opportunity to tamper with it.
This is a very important border. If someone takes advantage of it, wouldn’t he become a sinner for all eternity?
"You look down on Prince Ning too much. He has been a general for many years and it's not for nothing."
Seeing that the little girl looked a little worried, Qi Siyuan couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Just wait and see, it's still unclear who will have the last laugh in the end."
Yuxiu thought about it and it made sense. Xu Jinren had been guarding the border for many years, and apart from his disappearance last time, he had not made any major mistakes at other times.
In addition, with Xu Jinyi here now, there shouldn't be any problems.
Thinking this way, Yuxiu decided to pay more attention to this side just in case, and try to nip any danger in the bud.
Because of this little episode, Yuxiu no longer had the heart to watch any further, so she followed Qi Siyuan back the same way. She looked at the woman at Guan, who was holding an earthenware bowl and sipping wine from it.
This is no different from any other situation. Everyone is chatting and laughing together, and it's quite lively.
As soon as the two of them walked back, Xu Jinren sent someone to invite them over.
"I have already arranged everything over there, just wait and see."
In that case, Yuxiu didn't ask any more questions. After chatting for a while, she followed Xu Jinyi to see the grain that had been left in the warehouse.
"These grains are really good stuff, and they are even more abundant than the annual grain. I don't know where your master got them from. It's a waste to feed us rough people..."
Xu Jinyi had already opened several bags of grain and looked at the grain inside again and again.
He had already decided to preserve the grain well and distribute it to the people living on the border to plant after the spring.
"As long as we eat something, how can it be considered a waste?"
Yuxiu also leaned over to take a look. These grains were all grown by her own hands last time. After going through many processes, they were finally packed into sacks and placed in the warehouse by her.
Seeing Xu Jinyi's happy look at this moment, she really wanted to say, it's not difficult to get food, we will grow it for you.
However, Xu Jinyi had made up his mind and decided to leave the food here first. Unless he was about to starve to death, he would never touch it.
Anyway, he had already taken out the food, so Yuxiu had no objection to how he arranged it.
However, Xu Jinyi's words reminded Yuxiu, and she decided to plant more grain when she had time, and then take it to the farm to plant.
I thought that since Xu Jinren had made arrangements, nothing would happen. However, on the second day, many soldiers in the military camp fell into a coma.
Their faces turned blue and their lips turned black. Some of them would suddenly roll their eyes and fall to the ground while walking.
These people were carried into a tent for treatment. In just half a day, nearly half of the soldiers in the entire camp fell down. Even the two old brothers Xu Jinren and Xu Jinyi looked abnormal.
When Yuxiu heard the news, she originally wanted to go over to take a look, but was stopped by Qi Siyuan.
"They are all old foxes. Let them have their fun. We should not get involved."
