The first lady is sweet and sweet

Chapter 545 Mother! (five more)
"Then after we had breakfast, we decided to make a detour to Qilu and head north." Yang Debao made a final decision.

The above is to blame the princess and the son-in-law, regardless of whether the relationship is close or not, she is the master, and this status is right!
I am a slave, and I should be punished.

Now that the opinions were unified, Shen Zhou got up and said goodbye.

"Master Shen, you don't have to do this." Yang Debao avoided it, "You are the master, and we are just slaves, but you can't deserve this great gift."

"You are here on behalf of the emperor, this ceremony is acceptable." Shen Zhouheng looked at him with warm eyes and said.

Having said that, what else can Yang Debao say?People can't go wrong with this etiquette.

&*&
After breakfast, with enough dry food and water, the two carriages left the state capital where they lived for three days.

After walking for about ten days, I arrived at the place where the Central Plains and Qilu meet.

Shen Zhou looked at the fields on both sides of the road. It should have been the busy season of spring plowing, but it was a desolate area with dry yellow grass and no trace of green.

"Stop, stop." Shen Zhou called out to the driver.

"Yu..." The driver hurriedly tightened the reins and stopped, "Sir Shen, are you here?"

Shen Zhouheng jumped out of the car, strode into the field, and squatted on the ground, which was so chapped by the drought that he could stretch out a fist.

Qi Yaoyao frowned and looked at him and said, "If the drought is like this, this year's summer harvest is gone, and if we can't do spring plowing, this autumn harvest will be over."

"Then what about the people here?" Chen shi said worriedly.

"Let's see how the imperial court will help the disaster!" Qi Yaoyao looked at Shen Zhouheng who was still squatting on the ground with furrowed brows and said, "I said the county magistrate, let's go to Fucheng to have a look, nothing can be solved here."

Shen Zhouheng closed his eyes and stood up, striding over, leaned over and sat on the shaft of the car, "Car driver, let's go."

"Hey!" The coachman responded cheerfully, waving his whip lightly, and the carriage rattled back on the loess road.

Walking through one village after another, there is no trace of people, and the village is as quiet as a black hole, as if it is going to devour people.

"I'm afraid this person has fled the famine with his family." Qi Yaoyao guessed with certainty, looked at Shen Zhouheng and asked, "Where are we going? We have to get out of here as soon as possible, we don't have a grain of food on us." bring."

"There are still a few pancakes and some boiled eggs." Mrs. Chen said immediately after hearing the words, "If you save a little, you can carry a meal."

"Without water, it's hard to swallow." Shen Zhouheng looked down at his silly son, and the adults were better able to hold on.

What about this son?
"Let's hurry over there as soon as possible." Qi Yaoyao said without thinking, "Crossing the city will not enter."

"Okay!" Shen Zhouheng replied straightforwardly, they really couldn't help in this situation, there was only some rations on the carriage.

Tooth gaps are not enough!It is better to report what you have seen and heard along the way to the capital, and send someone down for disaster relief.

"The area of ​​drought is not small!" Qi Yaoyao stared deeply at the khaki color outside the car window.

"That's right!" Shen Zhouheng said solemnly, the carriage has been traveling day and night, stopping and going for nearly two days, and the speed has obviously slowed down.

They were about to pause, but they still didn't see anyone.

On the contrary, I saw a lot of graves along the way, which shows that many people died of starvation!

Looking at the grave bag, it should be newly built, and the person just disappeared.

Xiao Shunzi's lips were puffy, and he looked at Yang Debao hoarsely with a sallow and haggard face, "Godfather, we can't do it, we have to go in and have a look at the lower city gate, even if we don't eat, we have to get some water. Otherwise, we won't starve to death." , will die of thirst.”

"Stop the carriage, let's wait for Lord Shen." Yang Debao said immediately.

"Woo..." Xiao Shunzi pulled the reins, and the carriage stopped.

After waiting for a cup of tea, Shen Zhouheng and their carriage gradually approached Yang Debao.

"Why did Eunuch Yang stop?" Shen Zhouheng took off the straw hat on his head and fanned it, "The weather here is not normal."

"We've been walking for so long and haven't gone out of the dry area. We can't pass the city without entering. We have to find water." Yang Debao said straight to the point, "This man can't stand it, and neither can the horse."

"I think so too." Shen Zhouheng nodded hurriedly, "We will enter the city when we meet people."

"Then let's go! I hope we are lucky enough to meet someone." Yang Debao said with hopeful eyes.

The horse was walking on the loess road like an old ox pulling a cart, Qi Yaoyao looked at the foaming horse and said, "This can't be done! I'm afraid we have to get down and walk."

The coachman looked at his precious horse without tears and said, "The old man can't hold on anymore."

It's not worth the trip!

Seeing this, Shen Zhouheng looked at the coachman and comforted him, "Don't worry, we bought this carriage, and we will give you the money for the carriage when we leave the drought-stricken area."

"This...how good is this!" the coachman looked at Shen Zhouheng embarrassedly and said.

"There's nothing wrong with it. You earn hard money. It's not that we don't have to make this trip, so you can take it with peace of mind!" Shen Zhouheng said resolutely.

"Let's go!" Shen Zhou said, looking at them with his son on his back.

The coachman led the carriage, Qi Yaoyao supported Chen Shixiang and walked north along the Huangtu Road.

"How are you doing?" Shen Zhouheng looked back at them worriedly and said.

"I'm fine." Qi Yaoyao said hoarsely.

"I can still hold on." Mrs. Chen pulled the corner of her lips and gave him a reassuring look and said, "Who would have thought that in this peaceful and prosperous age, we would actually walk in a dry area. It's really a drought to death, a flood to death. Even How nice it is!"

"Mother, you'd better talk less and save some energy!" Qi Yaoyao looked at the sad Chen Shi and said.

"Okay, then I won't talk." Chen nodded and replied, suddenly grabbing Qi Yaoyao's arm, Tao Hua looked at Qi Yaoyao excitedly and said, "You...you...call me mother."

"Why, shouldn't it be called?" Qi Yaoyao looked at her with eyes full of glass and said with a smile.

"This is the first time I really heard you calling me mother!" Chen looked at her in disbelief and said, "Heng'er, did you hear that?"

"I heard." Shen Zhou looked at the two of them with warm eyes and said.

"You can call me more if you like!" Qi Yaoyao looked at her with dark eyes and said.

"It really feels like a dream." Chen smiled foolishly.

"Is it that exaggerated?" Qi Yaoyao looked at her amusedly and said.

"Yes!" Mrs. Chen nodded emphatically, "It's really not easy for you to admit it from the bottom of your heart." He said frankly, "Don't look at you as delicate and soft, you have a very stubborn temper!"

"Building a relationship with strangers is inherently difficult." Qi Yaoyao looked at her warmly with dark jade-like eyes and said, "A formulaic address or a sincere address, which one do you prefer?"
