Section 064, Snow Disaster
"Master, you're so scared, I'm just talking casually, but if you want to provide disaster relief, you have to get some food. Otherwise, what kind of disaster relief will you use? You can't just talk about it, right?"
"You said, but now the problem of food is the biggest problem! I don't have that resource either. I wonder if Master Liu can help me?"
After saying so much, the prefect still wanted Liu Shoucai to help him. Liu Shoucai was speechless at this time. Why did this prefect look like a candy? He didn't have any food, so what would he help him? Really.
"Master, I'm really powerless. If I have so much food, I will definitely take it for you to provide disaster relief. But now I have to go out to buy food, so there is no extra. Besides, isn't there any food in your county's granary?"
"Those foods are only enough for a few days and cannot be used for disaster relief at all. Alas! Master Liu, you must help me!"
The prefect said that he was about to kneel down and bow to Liu Shoucai. Liu Shoucai was so scared that he immediately jumped up from the bed. After hearing the sound inside, Badou outside heard the sound inside, he hurriedly ran in. As soon as he came in, he saw Liu Shoucai jumping up from the bed. He immediately pulled the prefect angrily and walked outside.
"Master, you really hate it. Whenever you encounter problems, you come to us. Do you really treat us as philanthropists? We are not the people of your country, and you have no obligation to work for you or something. If you really useless, then just resign from your official position and let those useful people do it! Why do you come to us every time? It's enough."
After Badou pulled the prefect out of the house, he threw the prefect out, then closed the door and patted it and went back to the house. Originally, Badou was not so angry, but Liu Shoucai was still sick now. The damn prefect had no wink at all. How could Badou not be angry?
Liu Shoucai was also shocked by the sudden anger of Badou. He did not expect that the prefect would be so disliked by Badou, and Xiaobai ignored Badou's anger. It seemed that it should have known that Badou would attack the prefect. Although he figured it out, Liu Shoucai was still a little worried.
"Ba Dou, you will not be retaliated against by your magistrate like that, right?"
"If you have the ability, let him come! A person who can't even support his own people is still an adult. I look down on that kind of person. I don't have any skills and always rely on others. When I see him, I kick him out. I really hate it. I help again and again. When will it be the end?"
Badou looked irritable. When Liu Shoucai saw Badou being angry, he didn't continue to say anything to him. After lying in bed again, Liu Shoucai began to calculate in his mind. If the snow disaster was really serious, he naturally had to think of some solutions.
You can't watch those people be frozen to death or starved to death! And Liu Shoucai also understood what kind of despair looks like in the severe cold, but when he thought of the food problem, Liu Shoucai began to feel a headache again. This food is indeed a big problem. Without food, it's useless to say anything. Moreover, he wouldn't be able to go to the palace to steal food again this time.
Liu Shoucai fell asleep as he thought about it. Maybe it was because of his illness that he fell asleep so quickly. Seeing that Liu Shoucai was asleep, Badou quietly left the room. Xiaobai was fiddling with the protective formation in the yard. Seeing this, Badou was surprised.
"You can wait a little longer when moving, let's solve the snow disaster first!"
"Stop teasing, snow disasters are not something we can fight against. During drought, we can still spread clouds and rain, but we really have no way to do it."
"I didn't let you use magic to fight snow disasters. What I mean is to find food and give to those refugees who are suffering from snow disasters. Although this is not a lot of merit, we cannot watch those people die at the moment. This is a sin!"
"Why do you always like to meddle in other people's business? Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk about you, and it's useless to say it, then where are you going to get food? Food is a big problem. Without food, everything is in vain."
Badou directly expressed his concerns. How could Liu Shoucai not know the interests of this? Without food, it would be useless to think too much, but Liu Shoucai just didn't want to watch those people die.
"If it really doesn't work, let's go to the palace again!"
"I think you're going crazy."
"It's not crazy but also crazy. How could that emperor allow me to steal his food again? He is not a fool. With our last visit, do you think he will not have any precautions?"
"Even if he has precautions, we can easily steal food. Besides, we are saving his people, not our own people. How can he not let go of blood? Besides, where can we get so much food now?"
After Liu Shoucai's analysis, Badou and Xiaobai also thought it was feasible, but they would not visit the emperor when they entered the palace this time. Since it was not possible, they could only come to the dark side. Anyway, the emperor had no evidence at that time. After thinking about this, Xiaobai smiled twice, and was directly photographed by Badou.
"Look at how slutty you smiled. Those who don't know thought you were stupid."
Although Xiaobai was unhappy when he was sarcastic, he only rolled his eyes. Seeing that they all agreed, Liu Shoucai was relieved and now he just waited to recover from his illness and then do a good job.
After the prefect returned home, he looked worried. He now knew that Liu Shoucai and the others would not help him. Of course, he did not know the final discussion between Liu Shoucai and Badou and others.
"Sir, what's wrong with you?"
When the prefect's aide saw the prefect come back with a sad face, he was puzzled. He remembered that when his prefect went out, he still looked excited with anticipation and excitement.
"Oh! Master Liu and the others are unwilling to help. Besides, the snow disaster is our own business, and he has no obligation to help us. Moreover, he is not a member of our country, so why should he help us? He doesn't have much food in his own home, so what can he help us? What we lack now is food!"
"This food is indeed a problem. Why don't we write a memorial and ask the emperor to distribute rice and grain!"
"Do you think the emperor can do it? I believe you know what the emperor looks like now. How could he pay out of his own pocket? And even if he sends rice and grain, it is just the tip of the iceberg, not to mention that there are layers of deductions. There is not much in our hands. It is simply useless!"
"Sir, what should we do now?"
"What else can I do? Take one step at a time! Actually, Master Liu is right. If we can't do it, we can only leave it to those who have the ability and can do it. Wait a few more days! If I really can't think of a solution, I will resign from my official position."
"Sir, you can't give up on yourself! If you don't become an official, what will the people in the world do? Do you want to watch with your own eyes that all the people you support starve to death?"
Although the prefect is not very capable, he is indeed a good official. The aide also likes the prefect, so he follows the prefect. If the prefect really leaves, he has no hope of making a name for himself.
"Brother Lin, if the people of the world really need me, they will naturally make a choice between me and the emperor. Unfortunately, they have always been talking about the emperor and never recited my merits. If we do well, they say that they are all good for the emperor. If we do poorly, they say that they are all bad for us. If we are stuck in the middle, it is really difficult to do!"
"grown ups……"
"Oh! Brother Lin, I know what you mean. In fact, I have seen through it over the years. You see, I have become such a New Year's official, but I have only gained a clean and unhappy one. Why do I have to make trouble for myself? Instead of being disliked by others here, it is better to be relaxed early."
The prefect's words made the aides cold. In fact, the aides knew what the prefect had done over the years, but the aides were unwilling to give up. He boasted about the sea in the village. If he just went back like this, those who once looked down on him would not make them laugh to death.
The aides had also thought of turning to other adults, but those people were used to flattery, collecting money, and short-sightedness. What's more, they were all jealous of talented people. If the aides wanted to defect to them, the opportunity to take office would be even more impossible.
Now that the prefect has the intention to retire, the aides are also panicked. He finally attributed all this to Liu Shoucai and the others.
The prefect had no intention of retreating, but because he went to Liu Shoucai's house today, he had the intention of retreating after he came back, so it must have been encouraged by Liu Shoucai and the others. When the aide thought of this, his anger continued to spread until his eyes showed murderous aura.
When he thought that he would be bullied by endless ridicule and sarcasm like he was when he was a child, his aide became more and more unwilling to accept his future glory and wealth. He finally became cruel and called a few yamen runners and ran towards Liu Shoucai's house.
These yamen runners have suffered secret losses at the hands of Liu Shoucai, and they all hate Liu Shoucai in their hearts. Because the prefect never allowed them to cause trouble for Liu Shoucai, they have always endured it. Now that they are instigated by their aides, they naturally hit it off.
When he arrived at Liu Shoucai and his friends, the staff waved their hands and let those people break in. Anyway, he would not give Liu Shoucai and his friends a chance to take action. Although Liu Shoucai is powerful, it is impossible for him to kill so many people at once. Of course, this is what the staff members themselves think.
Just as the staff were commanding the yamen runners to smash the door, a rain of arrows suddenly came in the sky, and it was accompanied by fire. The staff members were caught off guard by the sudden attack, and the yamen runners who had no time to escape were burned to charcoal in an instant.
The sudden appearance of arrow rain and fire were actually all the attack formations made by Xiaobai, and the aides were also regarded as experimental subjects. The aides did not expect that before he saw Liu Shoucai and the others, he was wiped out by the sudden arrow rain. Now he has no shame to go back to see the prefect, after all, so many people have died.
Thinking that he might be chased by the prefect and Liu Shoucai and others in the future, the aides finally cruelly left the dead and injured yamen run away. In order not to attract the attention of others, he ran away without even returning to the county government to pack up his things. After all, at this time, escaping is important.
The noise outside the house was also sensed, and Xiaobai ran out immediately. When he saw the corpses of the yamen runners lying outside the house, he looked shocked. The attack formation would not have taken the initiative to attack others, because as long as someone showed murderous intentions and malicious intentions to hit the door, it would naturally cause an attack.
But Xiaoba didn't understand. This formation was originally targeted by those refugees, so why did it suddenly target those yamen runners? Could it be that these yamen runners are here to cause trouble? Thinking of this, Xiaobai hurried back to the house and reported the situation outside to Liu Shoucai.
"Damn, I knew that the prefect must not be kind. Well, this time he actually asked someone to deal with us. It seems that we are really kind."
Badou looked angry, but Liu Shoucai had a question in his heart. Although the prefect had been crazy before, he had not gone crazy after he recovered from his state in the later stage. And although there was no agreement today, Liu Shoucai did not see the murderous intention in the prefect's face!
"Ba Dou Xiaobai, you all calm down first. Maybe the things are not what we think. Let's ask the living wounded and ask them clearly what happened. The prefect will not attack us. I can still be sure of this."
When Liu Shoucai said that Badou and Xiaobai were also calmed down. Before Xiaobai could run out, Badou ran out directly. Although the yamen runners were almost dead, they still had three or four of them alive, but they were all seriously injured and probably wouldn't live long.
"Say, who asked you to deal with us?"
Badou grabbed a yamen runner's clothes and roared. The yamen runner was grabbed by Badou's collar. After taking a few hard breaths, he accepted his fate and said, "It's Lin An, aide next to him. Because he hated you, he affected his future, so he brought us to kill you."
"Hmph! A bunch of stupid pigs, you just want to deal with us with a few trash? It's so funny. Don't you know that even the emperor dare not be bad for us?"
After Badou knew the truth, he kicked the yamen runner to death on the ground. Xiaobai also understood at this time. It hurriedly ran back and told Liu Shoucai the truth. Liu Shoucai looked helpless. He didn't want to block other people's financial paths, but he was also unintentional! Moreover, he wanted to retire, but others could do nothing.
After all, it was because the staff member was too scheming and couldn't take it easy, so he went to a dead end. Liu Shoucai asked Xiaobai to take Badou to report the situation of those people to the prefect. After all, those people are all the prefect. Even if they die, they must let the prefect take the person back. They can't always be placed outside the house!
Badou and Xiaobai quickly told the prefect what happened here. After hearing Badou's words, the prefect looked as if he was ashen. He never expected that he would raise a white-eyed wolf by his side. However, the matter had already happened, and he had no other way, so he could only ask people to bring back the dead and injured people.
"I didn't expect that we would see the season when spring is blooming so soon. It's better to see it here! Spring is blooming all year round, just like our 21st century south."
"Silly, this is the south of the 21st century. Although the landform is still not visible, the weather is very obvious. By the way, I remember that Lao Yi and his grandmother's house are from this place. Otherwise, we would go to Lao Yi and the others and they will leave two days before us, and they probably should have arrived!"
"I guess it will take a while to wait. Don't forget that we used the ground shrinking talisman. In this era, there are no cars or planes, so how could it be so fast? It will take two or three months to arrive."
"That's how long? Really, forget it, let's find a place to live first, and then wait for the first and the first and the second, third and fourth the first and the first and the second, third and fourth the first and the first and the first and the first and the first and the first and the first and the first and the first and the first and the first and the first and the first and the first and the first and the first and the first and the first and the first and the first and the first and the first and the first and the first and the first and
"Don't think too much, hurry up and find an inn! Although it's still early, who knows if the inn is easy to find and if there are any available rooms."
When Liu Shoucai saw that Badou and Xiaobai started chatting again, he immediately walked forward. Xiaobai and Badou did not continue chatting. Following Liu Shoucai, he found the inn, but unexpectedly, they saw an old acquaintance as soon as they arrived at the entrance of a inn.
"Master Liu? It's really you! I didn't expect you to come here too."
The person who came up to say hello was naturally the former prefect, but now he is nothing.
"I didn't expect that we could meet here again. It's so destined to be here! By the way, your home doesn't seem to be here, right?"
"No, I just went home and passed by here. Because it was getting late, I found an inn to stay in. After all, if I continue, I will live in the wilderness. So I plan to stay for one night before leaving. I wonder where you are going, Master Liu?"
"We're here to settle down, and my apprentice's grandmother's house is here. They will come here in a while, so we plan to live here, and the environment and weather here are good, so there's no need to be afraid of hot and cold. By the way, will you still contact the aide named Lin?"
When Liu Shoucai thought of Lin An, he couldn't help asking. When the former prefect saw that Liu Shoucai refused to let go of his former aide, he felt bitter in his heart, but he knew that it was all caused by that aide, so he had no intention of covering up. After all, he could not hide it now.
"No, he has never been in contact with me since he left, and he can't find me anymore. Now he is just an ordinary person and cannot bring them. What's more, he has done so many things on my back, so how could he come to me again?"
The former magistrate smiled bitterly. Seeing this, Liu Shoucai didn't ask any more questions. After saying goodbye to him, he turned around and took Badou and Xiaobai to find another inn. Liu Shoucai didn't want to live in the same inn with his ex-magistrate. Who knew if that person would sleep until midnight, and suddenly he had a whim to ask him for help or something.
When the former prefect saw Liu Shoucai and the others left, he felt a little disappointed. He thought he could live in the same inn with Liu Shoucai, but he didn't expect that he would despise him so much at this time. It seemed that he had done too many things that were disgusting before.
Chapter completed!
