Wife Kim An

Chapter 77

Lin Yi took out another thing from his bosom.

"This is the token to leave the city."

Lin Yiqian took a sip of his teacup and said with a smile: "Song Xiao, you have been preaching in front of me. It seems that in the face of natural disasters, if I don't give relief for free, I am sorry to the world. The price is outrageous.”

"Let me tell you now that Yizhou is about to be submerged. Soon, the flood victims will flock to Yangjia Village and there will be chaos. I'm afraid you have seen the scene of robbing food many times."

Song Xiao nodded coldly.

Lin Yi put down the teacup, and put forward the condition lightly: "There is no fairness in this world. I will give you two choices now. One, take the token to leave the city, leave everyone behind, and flee quickly with Shen Junyi. Even if one day, the county magistrate finds out It was Shen Junyi who assassinated him, and he had already fled back to Phoenix City. Second, go to Yangjia Village to inform them of their escape."

"Go to Yizhou, go to Sucheng, the south gate and the north gate respectively, you only have one token to leave the city, what do you do?"

"Why should I choose one of the two!" Song Xiao sneered, "Why don't I take the third way?!"

Lin Yi propped his chin with his hands, narrowed his peach blossom eyes slightly, turned the hairpin in his hand, and said lightly: "Song Xiao, do you have a third way? Do you want to stay in Nianchuan? Don't lie, Song Family I'm afraid the rice can only last for two or three days. Do you want to stay here and wait for your husband to be arrested, or wait for the Song family to starve to death?"

"Why do you want to give me a token to leave the city?" Song Xiao said coldly, "Isn't the complete destruction of the Song family what you want to see? If you weren't pressing hard every day, would the Song family have no food? What kind people are you doing at this time? I won’t be grateful to Dade! I just wonder if it’s another trick of yours, waiting for me to jump off.”

Lin Yi sighed and shook his head: "I'm not interested in what will happen to Nianchuan in Yizhou, and I'm not interested in whether Shen Junyi will be caught. I'm just curious about your choice, whether to run away with your loved one, or to kill him Let go, choose someone else..."

"I will take Shen Junyi away." Song Xiao said firmly.

Lin Yi laughed loudly, bent down, and leaned forward and backward with laughter: "Haha, Song Xiao, you keep saying that you need me to help in disaster relief, but when you really encounter problems, the first thing you think of is to run away. You are actually A hypocritical person. Now, facing the savior, he will die."

Facing Lin Yi's unbearable laughter, Song Xiao frowned: "Are you going to blame me for being selfish by making this choice and wanting to treat others in the same way as others?"

"Yeah, I just want to prove that what I said is right. Everyone cares about their own interests. Even you are the same. But don't forget, if you take Shen Junyi away, it is equivalent to giving up the Song family. other people!"

"I..." Song Xiao was stunned.

"Song Xiao, let me explain in more detail." Lin Yi restrained his smile and said lightly, "The people of the Yang family are very confident in the terrain. Well. The fate of the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled is probably being robbed of their homes again. Under this famine, it is not so easy to survive!"

"The county magistrate will provide disaster relief! As long as the empress appropriates the disaster funds and brings food and grass..." Song Xiao argued, feeling very powerless.

"You are so naive!" Lin Yi sneered, "Not to mention that the county magistrate never reported to the imperial court, there was no relief money, and no food! Just as he is seriously injured and can't take care of himself now, some of his subordinates are greedy for life and afraid of death, and dare not go to Yizhou Idiot. The Luoshui River has burst its embankment. Within ten days, Yizhou will be flooded, but no one rushes to Yizhou to inform the victims trapped in Yizhou city, and no one rushes to rescue the trapped people, let alone Rush to rebuild the dam. How can such a government provide disaster relief!"

Song Xiao's heart was shaken.

"Song Xiao, in this world, everyone cares about their own interests. The magistrate dared not report it because he was afraid that she would lose her black hat. He wanted to suppress the disaster, but it would get worse. Officials did not dare to go to Yizhou because they were afraid. I lost my life on the way. Everyone is selfish. Just like me, I hope that the disaster will get worse and worse, and I can make a good fortune from it. When the money is over, get out quickly and leave the disaster area."

"Even if in the future, the disaster can't be concealed, food and grass are brought in, and disaster funds are allocated, then people will die, so what's the use!"

"So Song Xiao, the food you have now can only save yourself, and you can't even take care of the entire Song family. How do you choose? Or choose Shen Junyi?"

Song Xiao bit her lip when she heard this.

She wants to take Junyi away, that's for sure.But the Song family only had a few bags of food, and it was impossible for the Song family to leave. As Lin Yi said, they could only flee with a few people.And she had to leave rice for the other people stranded in the Song family to let them survive this famine.In this way, food is obviously not enough!
If the food is taken away, the rest of the Song family will starve to death.Staying in Nianchuan, Jun Yi is in danger of being arrested, and everyone is still in danger of starving to death.

This is a difficult choice... to save the one she loves, or to save most people.

Or, to save more people...

The victims outside the city were all starving, and some went crazy, and there might be another accident.As Lin Yi said, can she really leave the people in Yangjia Village alone?She felt restless at the thought.

When she first met the villagers, she was as skinny as a stick, and the sickly image lingered in her mind three times.She thought of Xiao Liu, who was only a teenager, but brought her food from the villagers on the way she fled to Nianchuan without food.Such a beautiful age has to be buried in such a natural disaster, no, it may be a man-made disaster.

food!food!food!

The most fundamental problem is food, without food, everyone will be ruined!
Is there any way, is there any way to save people!save people!save people!

Song Xiao laughed, and said lightly: "Lin Yi, I heard that you like to bet with others...Let's make a bet."

"What bet?" Curiosity was aroused, Lin Yi tilted his head and glanced at Song Xiao.

Song Xiao calmed down his ups and downs, and said with a smile: "I have someone I want to save. Let me exaggerate a bit more, I want to say that I want to save everyone. So, I am willing to take a gamble, dare to fight against the sky! Use my own Life bets. I’m going to Yizhou! Before the flood floods Yizhou, remove all the rice in the warehouse!”

Lin Yi laughed out loud when he heard this, and said in disbelief: "For a few bags of rice, you are going to die? Do you know that the highest water level in Yizhou City is already half a meter, and the highest water level outside the city is already two meters."

"But a few bags of rice can save a lot of people." Song Xiao let out a long sigh of relief, and for some reason he calmed down, "Even if I can't bring back a bag of rice, I can still remind the people stranded in Yizhou to evacuate and put them away." Everyone, including people from Yangjia Village, was taken away to a safe place. If the officials dare not go to Yizhou, then I will go. If the officials dare not save people, then I will go.”

It was obviously a gray dress, but it unexpectedly set off her gentleness, tranquility, calmness, and strange self-confidence, as if she had sprinkled a layer of gold dust on her.

"But, what's the benefit of this bet to me?" Lin Yi glanced away, and Song Xiao, whose eyes were shining brightly, made his heart feel strange.

"I hope you will provide the Song family with ten bags of grain for everyone in the Song family to return to Sucheng. I hope you will provide another ten bags for the victims outside the city. And I will bring you rice grain from Yizhou. If seven If I don’t come back in the future, the Song family will unconditionally help the Lin family to do business from north to south, and I will write a letter and give instructions on what to do next. If I shrink back and don’t go to Yizhou, I will deal with it as a failure.”

Song Xiao took a deep breath and said, "But if I can bring food back from Yizhou safely, even if it is a bag of rice, you have to promise me free disaster relief and unconditional opening of a warehouse to release the food! After the disaster is over, the Song family will pay you A rice shop is enough to make you profitable!"

Song Xiao's eyes were full of tenacity, and his voice was clear and clear: "Lin Yi, this gamble is only profitable for you. You are a businessman, so you should know what is beneficial to you. Whether you lose or win, you can get compensation from the Song family. You Why not gamble?!"

He wanted to make her ugly, make her look ugly, make her cry and beg him to send food, make her kneel down and beg him to return the white jade hairpin so that he would not sue the government, or cry and say that she is willing to do anything , such as handing over half of the Song family's property.He has encountered too many such examples.In recent days, it has been countless.He likes to enjoy such a high and strategic feeling.

But Song Xiao always likes to play cards not according to common sense, and not to follow the rules he made.This kind of feeling is not disgusting, but there is a kind of scattered heartbeat, it is the kind of special novelty that finally encounters a new thing after a long boring day.Later, he realized that it was a long-lost feeling of meeting an opponent.

The corners of Lin Yi's mouth turned up, feeling a little happy, as if he had already seen Song Xiao's final ending.Because of him, I like watching people struggle with various things, and finally the sharp and piercing horns are gradually smoothed due to struggle, and those extremely bright eyes gradually darken.

He tapped on the table, staring at Song Xiao closely with his black and ecstatic peach eyes, with a slight smile on his face: "Okay, if you win, I will take all the rice from the Lin family to disaster relief." He is willing to gamble, and he is willing to gamble big, which is exciting.

Song Xiao smiled: "A word is a deal, and I will never break my word."

She grabbed Lin Yi's hand and patted it, and left gracefully under his astonished gaze.

She knew that Lin Yi would not save people, and she knew that under this catastrophe, everyone would only consider their own interests, but she still wanted to take a gamble, using her own life and the future of the Song family to go to Bo who was trapped in the There are tens of thousands of people inside and outside Yizhou City and thousands of people who are stranded inside and outside Nianchuan City without food and clothing.

This bet, she won, only paid a rice shop, but in exchange for tens of thousands of lives.In Lin Yi's eyes, she was losing money, but she felt that she had made enough money.

——Song Xiao, are you selfish?

—Yes, I am selfish.

Therefore, she first considered Jun Yi and Su Ye, and the Song family second.

Even if it fails in the end, even if the flood floods Yizhou and Nianchuan floods everything, even if there is no food, everyone will starve to death.

They... were saved...

Song House.

Song Xiao returned to the room wearily, pushed open the door, and saw Shen Junyi half leaning against the bed, his long hair loose and his crown belt removed.At this moment, his expression was soft, and there was a hint of tiredness between his brows.

Song Xiao approached, pulled up the quilt, and gently covered him.

"Xiaoxiao, you're back." As soon as his body warmed up, Shen Junyi woke up faintly, yawned, and said softly, "What time is it?"

"It's time, are you hungry?"

Song Xiao clutched her growling stomach and said with a smile, "Actually, I'm hungry, let's go eat first. I've already prepared the dishes."

She took Shen Junyi's hand and smiled softly: "Junyi, we can go home tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow?" Shen Junyi looked up in surprise, "Is all the food on the road ready? I used up a lot before..."

"I just talked about a big deal with Lin Yi, and he finally let go." Song Xiao stuck out his tongue and said, "I've already bought ten bags of rice, and I told everyone to prepare it tonight. We will leave tomorrow morning."

Shen Junyi was suspicious and uneasy: "What kind of business is it? He is extremely treacherous, Xiaoxiao, don't be fooled!"

"Okay, okay." Song Xiao pushed Shen Junyi to the dining table, put the chopsticks into his hands, and said with a grin, "Try it, I haven't been cooking for a long time, I don't know if I have regressed..."

Shen Junyi picked up the chopsticks and took a sip, it tasted good.He looked up at Song Xiao, but saw her staring at him blankly, the smile on the corner of her mouth was so gentle, or so reluctantly.

Shen Junyi asked strangely: "Xiaoxiao, what's the matter with you, didn't you just yell that you were hungry, why didn't you eat it suddenly? It tastes good..."

"unwilling……"

Song Xiao suddenly hugged Shen Junyi from behind, wrapped his arms around his neck, and said softly: "It's nothing, it's just that I've been here for so long, and I'm leaving suddenly, so I can't bear it."

"Xiaoxiao..." Shen Junyi smiled lightly. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly felt dizzy and his eyes were a little blurred. He stretched out his hand and held Song Xiao's hand tightly, leaning his head on her embrace, and said lightly , "I...why do I feel sleepy?"

In a daze, he saw Song Xiaoban holding him, and said softly, "Junyi, are you tired?...I'll help you go down to rest...you have to leave tomorrow morning, why don't you go to bed earlier? "

"Hmm..." Shen Junyi responded softly, and slowly closed his eyes.

Bai Zhi walked in from the door, glanced at the fainted Shen Junyi in Song Xiao's arms, and said calmly: "I have already placed Su Ye and Qingyan on the carriage."

Song Xiao put Shen Junyi into the carriage, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said softly, "Bai Zhi, they will leave you alone."

With a straight face, Bai Zhi rarely began to preach: "I have to say, it's not worth it at all for you to do this. You may die, but you can't save a single person."

"Bai Zhi is right." Lin Yi walked out of the alley, waving his coquettish fan, and said calmly, "Song Xiao, are you really going? For the so-called sliver of hope? Maybe, after you go, you will find , Yizhou was submerged, and the grain and grass had long been lost in the flood. Or, it had been robbed by the victims. If you go, it will be a waste of time."

"However, for this little hope, someone has to make sure." Song Xiao blinked and said with a smile, "Anyway, I don't suffer any disadvantages. I think I've already earned money if you, a cheapskate, give out twenty bags of rice for free. Already!"

Lin Yi's expression froze.He felt that there was definitely something wrong with Song Xiao's brain circuit.She could have escaped, but she had to trade a gamble for her so-called hope.

"Give me the hairpin and the token to leave the city." Song Xiao stretched out his hand.

Lin Yi smiled and handed over the hairpin, and Song Xiao carefully put it in his arms, his expression changed slightly: "Why don't you put it on for your husband?"

Song Xiao completely ignored him, and stuffed the exit token into Shen Junyi's hand.

Lin Yi spread out his fan, stopped her in front of her, and said with a smile: "There is only one token to leave the city. You gave it to Shen Junyi, what about you? If you can't get out of the city, you will lose before the bet begins." Is it gone?"

"Tomorrow, I will join the doctor's team and go to the courtyard outside the city to treat patients, so that I can successfully leave the city." Song Xiao said coldly, "Mr. Lin, please go back, Mr. Song is very busy, so I won't see you off!"

After Song Xiao finished speaking, he jumped into the carriage.Lin Yi was so angry that his face turned black, and he left with a flick of his sleeves.

Song Xiao sat in the carriage, leaning close to Shen Junyi's side, resting his head on his shoulder.

Lin Yi said that people should be for themselves, and businessmen should seize the opportunity to blackmail.But she can't do it, what she wants to see is a smiling face, what she wants to do is to try her best to save everyone.Even if it can't be saved, she will work hard for it.

Sometimes, it's not that I don't work hard enough, but that I am not brave enough.

So, this time, I want to protect everyone!
"Song Xiao, it's almost dawn."

She knew that Shen Junyi was afraid of the cold at night, and would shiver with cold whenever he had nightmares.Therefore, she likes to hug him at night to warm him.

Song Xiao took off his coat and covered him, brushed his cheek with some nostalgia, and stroked his lips.

Shen Junyi, why don't you take the initiative to kiss me?If you had kissed me then, perhaps I would have had the courage to say what I dare not say.

She lowered her head, kissed the corner of his mouth lightly, and said, "Good night, Jun Yi."

Song Xiao got off the carriage.

"Song Xiao, are you sure you want to go alone?" Bai Zhi sat on the carriage, tilted her head and asked, "I can help you."

"What are you talking about!" Song Xiao knocked his head, "Recently, you have become more and more unruly. Didn't you call me Missy before?!"

Bai Zhi curled her lips, "It's too tiring to ask Missy for three words."

Song Xiao killed with his eyes: "Bai Zhi, they are counting on you. If they lose a single hair, I will not let you go! Chasing you for thousands of miles!"

Bai Zhi smiled very shallowly: "Okay, I will definitely hurt them, and I will wait for you to hunt them down thousands of miles later..."

He lowered his head and said in a rare gentle voice: "So, you must come back."

Song Xiao was moved, with tears in his eyes: "Bai Zhi, I never expected you to be my master and servant, you care so much about me! I usually blame you for not doing your duty!"

Bai Zhi rolled her eyes, and said calmly: "I don't want them to strangle me after waking up. You know Su Ye, once something happens to you, you will definitely cry, make trouble, and hang yourself. , She has a cold face, but it's scary. Although good men don't fight with women, it's not fun to be strangled by eyes every day. The most terrifying thing is that Shen Junyi, I don't want to be beaten like a pig's head again. If he regains his martial arts one day, he will definitely chase me all over the street and kill him."

Song Xiao listened and laughed. On the quiet street, the smile was especially crisp.

"So please..." Bai Zhi glanced at her indifferently, "Don't let anything happen."

A slender and fair hand stretched out in front of him, Bai Zhi raised her head in a daze, and saw Song Xiao's clear voice with a little smile: "It's a deal, Bai Zhi."

She patted his hand lightly.

At Chenshi, the entire Song family went to Sucheng, and Song Xiao stood at the door, watching them drive away slowly in the carriage.

She lied to everyone, because Nianchuan didn't have many doctors, so she stayed to help for a few days.A few days later, when the doctors from the outer city arrive, she will catch up with them.So, don't worry.

Only she knew that an inexplicable sense of melancholy oppressed her so much that she couldn't even breathe smoothly, and tears were already flooding in her eyes but she was deeply suppressed.

Her legs were shaking, she was afraid, she actually wanted to cry.

But come on, Song Xiao!

You are omnipotent!
After half a stick of incense, Song Xiao and other doctors boarded the carriage out of the city.
