There were a thousand refugees who flocked to Qingyuan. In order to resettle these refugees, the entire open space from the back street of the county yamen to the front of the Confucian Temple was opened, and simple sheds were built with bricks and wooden boards for the refugees to live in. ∏∈,

The conditions in the shed are naturally not good, but it can finally block the cold wind so that these victims who leave their hometown can have a tiles to live in.

There are not many pedestrians on the street. Occasionally, people see the Ji family's carriage coming, and they respectfully give it to the roadside. The Ji family is known for being kind in Qingyuan. Now that they have encountered natural disasters, almost all ordinary people in Qingyuan County have been helped and favored by the Ji family. The Ji family's reputation in Qingyuan has reached an unprecedented height.

The carriage soon arrived at the shanty town of the county yamen back street. Ji Xiaotang sat on the horse and gently lifted the curtain of the car. The victims of the shanty town had already received the news and were standing neatly at the entrance of the shanty town. Some people saw the Ji family's carriage coming from afar and began to salute the carriage.

When Qingyuan County was giving porridge and medicine, it was not the only one who helped the victims. However, the Ji family not only provided the most supplies, but also was the most willing to consider these victims. Many of them were the other big families, and they only produced rice and grain under the supervision and leadership of the Ji family.

If there were no Ji family, many of these victims would not have survived this winter.

The carriage stopped in front of the shanty town. Ji Xiaotang helped the little girl's men get off the carriage and walked to Master Ji Er.

At this time, the two middle-aged men and an old man, who were leading among the victims, came forward to greet Master Ji Er.

Two middle-aged men were the leaders selected by the Ji family among the victims, one was Zhang Ming and the other was Wang Ding. As for the old man, he was called Mr. Shen by the victims. He was a scholar who failed to pass the exam for a long time. He used to teach a few children in his hometown and was quite versed in medicine. He would ask him for help if there were any problems or headaches and fevers. He was very prestigious among the victims.

Master Ji Er reached out and helped Mr. Shen up first, and then asked Zhang Ming and Wang Ding to get up.

"It's cold outside, why bother to welcome everyone, let alone the old and the weak. I was here to visit, but it became a disturbance, and it was really uneasy." Mr. Ji Er spoke very politely.

"Second Master, don't blame me. We brothers said no, but we are determined to do this, and we can't do anything about it." Zhang Ming and Wang Ding said hurriedly.

"It's the whole thing that everyone wants." Mr. Shen also said.

Master Ji Er didn't say anything else, but turned slightly and asked Ji Xiaotang to come forward.

"This is a little girl, her name is Xiaotang. You must follow me and give everyone a wish for you early years." Master Ji Er said.

Ji Xiaotang bent his knees slightly and blessed him.

Mr. Shen, Zhang Ming and Wang Ding dared not accept Ji Xiaotang's gifts, so they were busy with it and returned the gifts.⊥,

"It turns out that it is Miss Ji, but like Master Ji Er, he has a Bodhisattva heart. It's just that the mess here is so messy, how can I make it?" Mr. Shen said hurriedly.

Mr. Shen, Zhang Ming and Wang Ding were all a little nervous. While accompanying Mr. Ji Er and Ji Xiaotang to everyone, everyone came to salute again, and everything they said was full of bodhisattva heart, and the rebirth of their parents...

The Chinese New Year is about to be celebrated, and I know that Master Ji Er will come. The victims probably put on their best clothes and showed their best condition. But even so, most people are still ragged and have a yellow face and muscles.

In the face of such a natural disaster, even if the Ji family's efforts are done, it can only ensure that these people will not die of cold and starvation.

Master Ji Er had already gone to the point of being a problem. The victims did not stand in front of the shanty town, but returned to their own residences. Thousands of people walked in, but were extremely orderly. Ji Xiaotang followed Master Ji Er and walked in, and saw many young girls and children in the victims ahead looking back frequently.

These people are not watching Master Ji Er, but her.

Mr. Ji Er and Ji Xiaotang first sat in Mr. Shen's shed. Mr. Shen lived in the largest and cleanest shed in the shanty town, which was unanimously agreed by the victims. Mr. Shen was not only the doctor of the victims, but also brought together children of the right age among the victims and taught two hours of homework every day.

Once, Master Ji Er talked to Ji Xiaotang about Mr. Shen’s origin and personality. Ji Xiaotang thought that there must be many young children among the victims, so he suggested to Master Ji Er.

Mr. Ji Er is a scholar and is extremely supportive of this proposal. He immediately consulted Mr. Shen to discuss it, and Mr. Shen was also willing. Now the tables, chairs, and pens, inkstones used by these young children, as well as all the pens, inks, papers, and inkstones, are given by Ji Xiaotang.

"... I haven't thanked Miss Ji for these Mengzi. Please give me a bow to me." When I sat down in the shed, Mr. Shen talked about Mengzi, and then he specially wanted to salute Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang quickly got up and refused to accept Mr. Shen's gift. But Shen insisted honestly, Ji Xiaotang had to receive half a gift, and everyone could sit back and speak again.

At this moment, a daughter-in-law brought a **-year-old girl to pour tea for everyone. Mr. Shen introduced that it was his little daughter-in-law and granddaughter. Mr. Shen's wife poured the tea and turned around and went inside. The girl slowly turned around and looked back frequently, only looking at Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang saw it, she smiled slightly and waved to the little girl. The little girl's eyes immediately lit up and were about to come to Ji Xiaotang. It seemed that she was still afraid of Mr. Shen. Her big eyes dripped and she glanced at Mr. Shen.

Old Shen looked at the six directions and saw that Ji Xiaotang was not disgusted, so he nodded slightly to the little girl.￠￡,

Only then did the little girl dare to come to Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang sat on the small stool used by a child. The little girl sat down without a single sitting, so she simply held her knees and squatted beside Ji Xiaotang. She didn't say anything, and glanced at Ji Xiaotang at once, as if she couldn't see enough. She smiled while pursing her lips, revealing two deep dimples on her cheeks.

Just now, the little girl poured tea for Ji Xiaotang and kept laughing. Ji Xiaotang noticed her dimples. Seeing the little girl's big eyes clear and flexible, she felt a little liked this little girl.

"What's the name? How old is it?" Ji Xiaotang asked the little girl.

"I'm Shen Yao, I'm ten years old this year." The little girl's voice was crisp. Although she seemed a little bold in her behavior just now, she was a little shy when she spoke to Ji Xiaotang.

"Ten years old." Ji Xiaotang looked at the little girl again. At the age of ten, the little girl was a little thin. She thought she was raising her, but she encountered a famine. The family had a large population. How much food can the girl have in her mouth?

Ji Xiaotang thought of herself and felt even more pity for Shen Yao. She winked at the girl next to her, and Jin'er immediately took out a box.

Ji Xiaotang took a look and didn't answer. Jin'er knew it and then picked up another box.

During the New Year, Master Ji Er came to send some extra rice and grain to make the victims live a better life. Ji Xiaotang brought the women from the mansion to prepare some other things.

A four-frame box, each grid is full of sugar melons, pine nuts, candy, fried peanuts, melon seeds, dried chestnuts, and date cakes. There are six kinds in total, representing the six and six great successes. This is prepared by Ji Xiaotang for the children among the disaster victims.

Chen Yao obviously hadn't seen such a snack for a long time, and her eyes lit up. However, she didn't dare to answer, and looked at Mr. Shen again.

Ji Xiaotang said what she meant. When she came, she had already made people count the number of people.

"Everyone has children." Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.

Mr. Shen smiled and nodded to Chen Yao.

The daughter-in-law who had just poured the tea came out, and there were two boys around him, one of whom was seven or eight years old, and the other was only three or four years old. The **-year-old child hung his hands properly, but the three or four-year-old child grabbed the corner of his wife's skirt. When he saw the snacks in the box, his little mouth squirmed twice, but he didn't reach out, but just raised his head and looked at his mother with a hurried look.

Chen Yao was clever and took a basket over. Jin'er and Xiu'er helped to pack all the things in the two boxes into the basket.

The wife took Chen Yao and the two little boys to salute Ji Xiaotang again and said a lot of words of gratitude.

"My brother is younger than him." Ji Xiaotang touched the little boy's bun's face. The children in the Shen family all had good eyes, big and clear.

As Ji Xiaotang said this, he asked Madam Cheng to take out a piece of red silk again.

"Either make a veil or tie your head. It's better to add some joy during the Chinese New Year." Ji Xiaotang said, giving Chen Yao the red silk. "Everyone with little girls has it."

Chen Yao took the red silk and held it in her hands with cherishing it. Her eyes were shining at Ji Xiaotang.

"Miss Ji, are you the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva? I have never seen a girl who looks better and has a better heart than you." Chen Yao said softly.

"You little girl, why do you look clever but speak in a daze?" Ji Xiaotang held back his laughter, but felt a little uncomfortable.

She was not the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva. On the contrary, she crawled out of hell. Because she had experienced suffering, she understood and was more merciful.

Sitting in Mr. Shen's shed for a while, Master Ji Er discussed things with Mr. Shen, Zhang Ming and Wang Ding, while Ji Xiaotang stood up. She asked her to walk around each shed and send the things to her in person.

"How did this make it happen?" Mr. Shen and others said.

"This is also her wish, just let her go." Master Ji Er smiled.

Everyone had to agree, and while the more mature Zhang Ming took someone to accompany Ji Xiaotang, Chen Yao wanted to follow Ji Xiaotang, and Mr. Shen's wife also came out, and the two little boys came out with their mother, constantly peeking at Ji Xiaotang.

With a crowd of people gathered in the ground, Ji Xiaotang walked to every shed in the shanty town. Every family with children got a box of snacks, and a family with a little girl and a young wife got an extra piece of red silk.

Most of the victims came out to make a living together, and Ji Xiaotang left snacks and silk in every shed.

"Miss Ji thought carefully and the heart of the Bodhisattva is the most commendable thing. We victims are treated as human beings." Finally, Mr. Shen said emotionally when he sent Mr. Ji and Ji Xiaotang out.

Ji Xiaotang has heard too grateful words today and has seen too many touching tears.

"Mr. Shen, don't say that. My father and I just hate that we are so powerful that we can't do more for everyone." Ji Xiaotang said.

"Please keep more about the matter here." Master Ji Er instructed Mr. Shen, Zhang Ming and Wang Ding.

Chen Yao also came to see Ji Xiaotang off, and behind her two younger brothers were dragging her.

"Take your brother to my house to find me." Before Ji Xiaotang got on the carriage, he saw Chen Yao's eager expression and said.

Chen Yao immediately blushed with shame, but her eyes looked at Ji Xiaotang more eagerly.

...

When Ji Xiaotang came back from the victim, he felt a lot in his heart and brought it out. When Master Ji Er saw it, he took the opportunity to teach Ji Xiaotang a few words.

"Although you have been smart since childhood and are familiar with poetry and books, I can't help but understand what is happening outside. However, if you don't have today, you wouldn't really understand what the sufferings of the people are."

"Dad said that." Ji Xiaotang nodded.

"The people's livelihood is so difficult. Heaven and earth are not kind, and they regard all things as straw dogs. Xiaotang, your sisters are born in a pile of beautiful things. They are much luckier than most people in the world. They should be more benevolent. Don't forget that there are thousands of suffering people in the same world. If you can help, don't sit idly by." Master Ji Er taught Ji Xiaotang again.

Master Ji Er has the heart of the world. Ji Xiaotang is following him in office. You can already know how diligent he works and how he loves the people. At that time, Master Ji Er said the most often to Ji Xiaotang was "One official position and benefit the people."

Master Ji Er should have tried his best to seek resurgence and benefit the people. However, since Mr. Ji's filial piety period came out and the Ji family had a succession of life, Master Ji Er never mentioned this, and gradually revealed the intention of dying for the pastoral life.

Some things are in the heart of Master Ji Er. Even if he is close to Ji Xiaotang, he will not say them.

"I understand what Dad means," Ji Xiaotang said slowly.

Master Ji Er's body shook slightly, his eyes were surprised at first, and then he was enlightened and relieved.

"That's good, that's good."

Master Ji Er wanted to handle some communications and letters in the study, so he asked Ji Xiaotang to go back to the backyard to meet Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji Er.

Ji Xiaotang gave all his experiences and hearings from the victims to Old Lady Ji, Mrs. Ji Er and Ji Xiaoyun. These people have always been soft-hearted, and their eyes turned red as they listened.

"Forget it, forgot it, I'm sorry, I'll save more food, clothing and food, and help them more." Old Mrs. Ji said.

Mrs. Ji and Ji Xiaoyun also said this.

The food and clothing and clothing of Ji Xiaotang and Mrs. Ji Er have been cut off, but they have not touched Mrs. Ji and Ji Xiaoyun. Therefore, Ji Xiaotang responded casually.

The next day, Chen Yao came to the gate of the Ji family.
