Chapter 138: People's Hearts
Because most children had convulsions, fevers, and illnesses, the team stopped and did not go out of camp this day.
Yesterday, there were fierce battles, and some farmers who had never taken weapons were forced to fight and were still scared and worried. Huang Shenzhi decided to rest on the spot for a day and took the people to buy medicine near Fuzhou.
Huang Shenzhi's actions made his image taller in the team. When he took a team to buy medicine, many people behind him kowtowed to him and thanked him.
Su Qingma had medicine in the system, but it was useless to several children. She had to work with Su's mother and others to physically cool down the children. She went to Huang Han's place to buy a can of soju and wipe the children's bodies at a high price.
Qing Yang and Jin Hai are quite mild. After eating a bowl of porridge at noon, they can sit up by themselves in the afternoon. Although they are still wilted, they no longer burn.
Only Qingxing and Yaya were burning very hard.
But Qingxing was still sober, only Yaya actually spit out white foam and was talking nonsense for a while, which made Su Qingliu cry so hard that she almost fainted.
Cui Mangzhong had only one piece of blood left in the world. She couldn't even protect her. She felt sorry for her father, who died on the battlefield and had no bones.
While crying, he said something sorry...
It made Su's mother, aunt and others cry.
Su Qingma's eyes were also sore. Seeing that Su Qingliu could no longer hold the child, she took it over and wiped Yaya's body, and cooled her over and over again.
Nowadays, adults may not survive, and many children die. Su Qingma looked at the little Yaya who never walked and grew up so big. Su Qingliu took her to Fengting Town, and Yaya slept between her and Su Qingliu.
Such a well-behaved and sensible child, now he has no reaction to lie on the ground. After Lu Xiaobao was born, the little Yaya has already consciously assumed the responsibility of a sister and will help adults take care of Xiaobao.
Among the children, only Xiaobao was still alive. At this time, he saw the adults surrounding Yaya and squeezed in.
Seeing that the young lady closed her eyes and did not react at all to his shaking, she became anxious and shook her sister a few more times. Seeing that her sister didn't get up to play with him, she howled with a "wow..."
After hearing this, the people who were sleeping in the nearby family thought that the children could not bear it and had already left. They all looked sad and ran over to comfort Su Qingliu, Su Mu and others.
He kept making trouble until Huang Shenzhi came back with the medicine.
After filling two large bowls of bitter medicine juice, Yaya's fever subsided. Su Qingliu was so happy that she ran to Huang Shenzhi and kowtowed a few times.
The children who had fever in the camp had all gone away after taking medicine. For a moment, Huang Shenzhi received countless thanks.
The green apricot's fever has subsided, and by the evening, I can already hold the bowl to eat by myself, so that everyone can breathe a sigh of relief.
Su Qingma thought about it and took a small bag of dried fruit to Huang Shen to know how to thank him.
Huang Shenzhi took it, pinched a piece of dried fruit and threw it into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and raised his eyebrows: "It's delicious. What you made it by yourself?"
Su Qingma nodded.
"Are there still dried vegetables? They are dehydrated and also have oily flowers. I had the honor of eating them once before."
Su Qingniang nodded again: "There are some more, I will give it to the general later." She did not say that what he had eaten before might be made by her family.
Huang Shenzhi did not refuse.
He looked at her, then pinched out a few pieces from the bag, threw them into his mouth, looking like he enjoyed it: "This thing is good to eat on the marching road."
After saying that, seeing Su Qingma didn't say anything, she chewed a few times, and suddenly said, "You said, today I asked the team to rest for a day and personally took people to buy medicine for the soldiers below. Isn't it good to do it?"
Su Qingma nodded: "It is very useful for you to regain the hearts of the people. In the future, many people may come to you."
A flash of light flashed in Huang Shenzhi's eyes.
His subordinates kept grabbing the bag, and they grabbed two or three pieces each time, threw them into their mouths, saying, "But my brother thinks I am in a state of urgency. For the sake of the elderly, weak, women and children, I have delayed the time for the large army to meet, saying that it was delaying the military plane."
The voice is very small, I don’t know if it is for Su Qingma or for myself.
Su Qingma didn't know what to do, so she saw him tilting his head: "So do you think I'm indecisive and unbearable to accomplish anything?"
Su Qingma was stunned.
Huang Shenzhi felt that he was actually asking a woman a question, and he felt that he might be a little confused. He might have been scolded by his clan brother in public today, and he was a little uneasy.
Unexpectedly, he heard Su Qingtai whisper: "I have heard a saying that people can carry boats or overturn boats. I have also heard a saying that those who win the hearts of the people will win the world. Why do you think Emperor Qi can seize the capital?"
Huang Shenzhi was chewing the dried fruit in his mouth and chewing Su Qingtai's words. Why could a private salt dealer in Wanghu take Chang'an?
Of course, Emperor Shuo was interested in enjoyment, ignored the government affairs, political corruption, and led to the autocracy of eunuchs, and did not act as a locust plague in the north, and the people in the north were living in poverty.
Huang Shenzhi's mind was spinning quickly. Although Emperor Shuo had any actions, he was still in the countryside in front of his pig-killer, killing two or three pigs every morning, selling them at noon, and counting the money, and then sleeping in the afternoon. It's not so happy.
After Su Qingma asked, a lot of light and shadow flashed through her mind.
She has learned history well since she was a child. Since she knew how to read books, she has regarded history books as extracurricular books, and has read all the official and unofficial history. The current dynasty is very similar to the history she has learned before.
The emperor was also incompetent and had severe taxes, which led to the people's misfortune. In the end, peasants in various places revolted and overthrew the regime. At this point, the vassal states were separatist and wars continued. When another dynasty was unified, it lasted fifty-three years. It was a period of great chaos and great destruction. The Central Plains regime was more diligent than the people changing underwear.
The common people have not remembered who the emperor is on the throne, and the new emperor ascended the throne again. The capital city has frequently changed the flag of the king. In fifty-three years, fourteen emperors have been replaced. The average term of office is four years. Now the village party secretary is still every five years.
That is a bloody history, a history of gangs fighting each other, a history of distorted human nature and a period of devastating morality. If the ministers are unhappy, they can kill the emperor, their sons are unhappy, they can kill me, and their brothers are unhappy. The father-in-law on the throne asks his daughter-in-law to take turns to sleep, and whoever serves well will let his husband be the crown prince.
The Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues are destroyed and lost.
Su Qingtai often remembered that history during this period. She knew that this was Shuo Dynasty, and the one who wrote the poem "The Unsubscribed Journey to the Past" was called Wang Hu.
But she had heard a saying that history would not repeat itself, but would be surprisingly similar. These days she kept thinking about where is a pure land. On the way south, she saw many poor people who were hiding from military disasters. The war in the heart of the Central Plains had spread to the southern part.
Yesterday she experienced a battle for people. So what will happen to their family next? Is it the next battle for territory? Is it going to go through countless flesh-and-blood fights?
The children foamed at the mouth only once. In the future, can she lead them to find a pure land to live a good life and let them grow up safely?
"Do you think Wanghu is popular with the people?" Huang Shenzhi turned his head and looked at Su Qingma.
Su Qingma came back from the chaos, looked at him, and said lightly: "At least he is now."
