Chapter 894 Disaster in the North

Chapter 894 Disaster in the North

Later, the waiter's eldest brother also opened a small shop, and the whole family ran the business together, and they lived a good life.

He went to Southwest City by chance and saw a Baiji Shaobing shop in the city. The one selling the cakes was Xiaoou. Xiaoou had grown taller and looked brighter, and it was obvious that he was living a comfortable life.

And her shop is not small.

There were a few people making a lot of noise at the time, and a handsome and upright young man in a military uniform came over and subdued those people in no time. Xiaoou looked at the young man with admiration and joy.

He heard Doudou running over and calling the young man brother-in-law.

At that time, Doudou was carrying a small peach wood sword. After asking the waiter, he found out that there was a Taoist temple nearby and Doudou went there every day to learn skills from the Taoist priest.

That was the later days of the waiter.

At this time, Lu Zhaoling and his group were heading north.

The most important purpose of going to the north was not for Old Man Gong and the other two, but because there would be a snowstorm in the north.

If they are not resettled properly, there will be too many victims and there will be a big chaos.

They didn't stay any longer along the way.

We traveled for half a month.

As they entered the north, they encountered the heaviest snowfall in recent times.

The heavy snow was falling, and the whole view was white.

"This place is still some distance away from Shuning City ahead, but now the snow is too heavy and the road is difficult to walk on. It will probably be too late to reach the city gate."

Qing Xiao rode his horse forward to explore the way, and came back feeling a little worried.

"But it's not a good idea to spend the night outside in this weather. It's too cold."

The snow was so heavy that the roads were covered, so they had to slow down.

The carriage wasn't warm enough.

They all carried talismans drawn by Lu Zhaoling.

In the past half month, she has drawn a lot of hand-warming charms and improved them based on the warm wind charm.

However, this hand-warming talisman will also be consumed. If it is too cold, one talisman can only last for two hours at most.

Therefore, these people consume quite a lot of hand-warming talismans every day. Fortunately, there are more people around learning talismans now, so Lu Zhaoling gathered everyone to learn how to draw this kind of talisman.

As expected, Lu Song had already entered the sect a long time ago. He learned very quickly. Apart from Yin Yunting, he was now the one who could draw talismans the fastest and had the strongest power.

Aoki also has good talent.

Qingyin and Qingbao went astray as they were learning. They stuck the hand-warming talismans on the basin where Lu Zhaoling washed her face and hands, so that the water would be warm when she washed her face and hands.

They also pasted the talismans they practiced drawing on the inner wall of the carriage, and replaced them with new ones at the right time every day.

But now their paper and cinnabar are almost used up.

The weather is bad and the roads here are difficult to travel on, so it is inconvenient to deliver cinnabar from the southwest.

Fortunately, Qing Xiao had been to Shuning City here and said that there was such a shop in the city, so we could fill the gap in time.

"Is there any village nearby where we can stay overnight?" Zhou Shiyue asked.

Qing Xiao had often been sent out by him in the past to gather information, track, and search, so he had been to many places.

Since he has been to Shuning City, he should know what villages are around it.

"No." Qing Xiao said.

If he had, he would have said it just now.

Zhou Shiyue tapped his hands and thought for a moment, "Then hurry up and go directly to Shuning City."

"If the city gate is closed, use my token to ask them to open it."

Now that I'm here, it doesn't matter if I don't hide my identity.

"Yes."

Lu Zhaoling looked at the snow outside, calculated a few times, and sighed softly.

"what happened?"

"The snowstorm is coming." said Lu Zhaoling.

She couldn't stop this.

It is impossible for the natural world to always be peaceful and prosperous. The changes in the world and nature have their own reasons.

She sighed, which shows that the situation of the snow disaster is not optimistic.

"My father came to the emperor in a dream a few days ago and scolded him, saying that he must have received the memorial from the north and that the relief supplies were not delivered in time and that he was a fool."

Zhou Shiyue thought of the breathless words that the emperor had said a few days ago, shook his head and said, "The emperor is sometimes indecisive. He rarely leaves the capital, so he knows too little about the lives of the people."

"I guess they think it's just a minor snowstorm, so they can just send some cotton clothes. But if we don't have any preparations, where will we get cotton clothes in a short time? So even if we are scolded by our father, I'm afraid we won't be able to prepare everything as soon as possible."

"However, I have already asked someone to prepare a batch, but I don't know if it will be enough."

Lu Zhaoling glanced at him.

"You prepared it too?"

"also?"

Zhou Shiyue caught her words.

Lu Zhaoling smiled and blinked, "The 100,000 taels from Qingfuhou..."

Are they all used to prepare cotton-padded clothes and quilts?

"There are definitely not enough things to keep warm, and there are also herbs, wound medicine, charcoal, and food."

Lu Zhaoling explained it clearly, "It's freezing cold, and the crops here must have been frozen. Without enough food and clothing, the body will be weak, and many people must be sick. When it's cold, you should eat more meat so that your body can be stronger, so you can't eat less."

But what would the people have to eat during the snowstorm?

"One hundred thousand taels, and one thousand taels of gold given by Prime Minister Shen, most of which were used to purchase and prepare these supplies."

"I'll ask my senior brother later to see where they are shipped to."

Zhou Shiyue looked at Lu Zhaoling with light in his eyes.

"There were many people in the capital who were scolding you. They scolded you for coming from the countryside, being extremely greedy, clinging to the silver, being short-sighted, vulgar, and cruel, for asking for so much silver."

He knows it.

Of course, those people didn't get away with it, so he asked Qinglin to send someone to slap them in the face.

During those days, many people were afraid to go out because of their swollen lips.

"If they knew that my family had used all the money for disaster relief, wouldn't they dig a deep pit and bury themselves?"

"When I get back to Beijing, I'll go bury a few people for fun."

He was determined to plant those who had cursed him the most, like trees.

Lu Zhaoling raised her eyebrows. "I don't care what others say. But," she stretched out her hand and scratched his chest, "I just don't understand why this merit is also attributed to you!"

This is clearly a good deed done by their master!

"Maybe it's because I'm half responsible for digging up so much silver?"

"That's true."

If it weren't for Zhou Paopi, he wouldn't have been able to dig out so much.

"Master Yin, this road is really difficult to walk on. It's too slow."

In front, Qing Xiao said to Yin Yunting.

Yin Yunting was also a little worried.

If it's too late, they won't have enough talismans and the horses will suffer as well.

"Let Senior Sister think of a solution."

Yin Yunting turned his horse around and went to look for Lu Zhaoling.

Lu Zhaoling thought about it and saw the bracelet.

"There is."

She chuckled, "Grandma Sheng hasn't come out to practice these past two days."

"Big Sister wants to mess with Madam Sheng San again?"
