Chapter 241 Snow Disaster
"Aunt He."

Hearing An Shuyao's voice, Aunt He hurriedly turned her head: "Oh, my miss, you go back and sit in the room, what are you doing, Madam will blame you again later."

An Shuyao shook her head: "I'm fine, which family is the villager you mentioned just now?"

"It's the Xu family. Doesn't his family live in a dilapidated thatched cottage? As a result, the snow was so thick and heavy that it overwhelmed his family's house."

Liu Yuxue's aunt's house?
After not going out of the house for a while, An Shuyao felt isolated from the world.

"Miss, go in quickly, don't worry about the outside affairs, the master and madam will make arrangements."

An Shuyao was sitting on a chair in the house, the door was tightly closed by Aunt He, she looked at the strawberries, picked up one and took a bite, it was sweet.

There was a big plate full, An Shuyao wondered if An Jingzhou had picked all the ripe strawberries in her house.

"Little aunt." The door of the room was opened slightly.

An Hao poked his head outside the house and came in. He blinked his grape eyes and said, "Little aunt, Haohao is here to see you."

His round body squeezed in, and closed the door again with his small hands.

"Hao'er, come and sit next to Auntie."

An Hao climbed onto a small stool on one side with his little feet, and An Shuyao gave him a strawberry.

He stretched out his little hand to take it: "Thank you, little aunt."

Then he ate and groaned, An Shuyao looked at him tenderly, An Shuyao felt that he was greedy for strawberries.

Two people, one eats and the other reads medical books.

Finally, An Shuyao found a solution to her cold syndrome. These books were left to her by her grandfather after his death. She only learned the general idea before, and she still has a lot of knowledge. She didn't even bother to read it, thinking about it was enough.

In this short period of time, she was stumped by a woman's cold syndrome. She didn't do much research on gynecology, but this time it benefited her a lot.

At the same time, she felt ashamed of her grandfather's teachings, so she decided to read all the medical books in the space.

The first day of December.

It snowed all night, and the mountains were blocked by heavy snow.

Except for the brick and tile houses in the village, all the thatched houses collapsed. From this day on, the rock village was full of crying.

Most of the people crying hoarsely were women, shouting "It's over" one by one, the voices were so far away that An Shuyao could hear them in the room.

She was dressed thickly, tied on a water-blue fox fur cape, and walked out with the small heater in her hand.

There was a lot of noise at the entrance of the courtyard, and the whole family was outside. After An Shuyao walked out, she asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Jin took a look, then turned to her and said, "It's cold outside, go back inside."

An Shuyao shook her head lightly: "I don't want to stay in the house anymore, what happened outside?"

Lu Jin slightly raised her eyebrows: "Shi Sanniang's house has collapsed, and she is sitting outside crying."

An Shuyao went out to see that it was true. Shi Sanniang's house was next door to the Hu family's house. It was a thatched cottage that had been built for more than ten years, and there had been no problems. Unexpectedly, the snowstorm every day during this period would ruin the house. collapsed.

She frowned slightly: "Will the county government take care of it?"

Lu Jin's thin lips parted slightly: "Every year there is a snow disaster in Anzhou. Usually, in the previous month, someone transported supplies from Beijing to make up for it, but this year there was none."

Speaking of which, since the snow fell in November until now, some people in the village have no food, but the county magistrate has done nothing. Now that the mountain is covered by heavy snow, it is difficult to go out, let alone come in.

An Shuyao's face turned cold: "Is this intentional to trap us people here to death?"

Lu Jin lowered his eyes: "Even if there is corruption, some will be given to the people below. At least the people will not starve to death in the true sense. This year is a bit abnormal."

An Yue walked to Lu Jin's side, he smiled and said: "The ending is obvious, Lu Xian didn't intend to rescue Anzhou at all, or he had already received the "gift" we gave him, we all fought back, he definitely wouldn't Will sit and wait."

He let out a sigh of relief: "He deliberately ordered to exile the place of Rock Village. There is no need to wait for the county magistrate. This winter, I don't know if the villagers here can survive."

Everything is as An Yue said.

At this time, the county government of Taolin County.

Yuan Yi and Song Zibai are asking County Magistrate Qian to send troops to support them. They all received a letter from An's family, knowing that Rock Village is more difficult, and that the heavy snow can seal the mountain and they can make a way out with their meager strength.

But Qian Feng received a warning from his superiors that Rock Village should not be taken care of throughout the winter. It is their destiny to survive, and it has nothing to do with them if they cannot survive.

Qian Feng didn't dare to ask too much, because it was said that it meant "superior", and it was unknown how big this official position was.

Qian Feng drank his tea with a troubled expression on his face: "You two young masters, look at what's going on outside now. Even if I am willing to send someone to shovel the snow, manpower is not as fast as God's. Don't let me The yamen servants froze to death."

Song Zibai pursed his lips: "What about the materials transported from central Beijing? Why didn't they go to every village at the beginning, and now the disasters in each village are serious to varying degrees. You can go home, but you will be frozen to death outside."

Qian Feng was also helpless: "This official really has nothing to do. Let me tell you the truth, all counties and counties have supplies this year, but Taolin County is the only one that is exposed. This official can't save them."

Yuan Yi was shocked: "Why? Are the people in Beijing going to give up Anzhou?"

Qian Feng shook his head: "I didn't give up on Anzhou, but on Taolin County, so it's up to them whether they can live or not. The two young masters had better pray that there will be less snow, otherwise the winter will pass, and the people over there People in several villages either starved to death or froze to death."

Yuan Yi and Song Zibai's faces were ugly. The land in Anzhou was barren, and they needed assistance every year. There was not a year when they didn't send anything.

Only this year, the new emperor of Jingzhong came to power, and the emperor who had been on the throne for a full year seemed to be exiled, and the specific where he was exiled was beyond the knowledge of ordinary people like them.

The two guessed that the emperor must have refused to give these supplies, otherwise the group of officials would not dare to joke about human lives if they had a hundred guts.

Yuan Yi walked out of the county office angrily: "I think this emperor is not as good as the last one. At least when the old emperor was here, this kind of thing never happened in Anzhou. As far as we know, in the five nearby villages, some people’s houses collapsed, they were frozen to death, and some people had nothing to eat, and they all started eating the frozen bark outside.”

"This is something that can only happen in times of famine. Now that the country is prosperous and the people are strong, people can still eat tree bark in winter. After a while, do you have to dig Guanyin soil and eat it!"
