230. Chapter 230 Fire Night (4)

The rain is down.

The clouds are a little blue, and the sky is only half-baked. The heavy rain is rolling the yellow mud between the yard, the ruins, and the streets into a turbid stream. Immersed in the rain is the sound of all sorts of clams. A worker with a coat of clothes pushed the car and towed the wooden basket. He still left the ruins of a place and took away the earth and stone that had to be discarded. This is the scene in the streets and alleys.

In the courtyard of Suping Lane, which was originally owned by Su Family, many sheds have been set up. In the rain, the water droplets leaking from the eaves form a curtain, and a small figure is worn – or it should be said that the bucket has run over. After a short period of rain, after a rainless squat, the little figure looked at the room with a fight. This is a four-and-five-year-old girl with a wound on her head and a bandage.

In the few days after the earthquake, the environment was not good. The accumulation of various objects in the room that the little girl was watching was a bit messy, but from the inside of the cabinet, the big bed, and the waterproof condition, it was already Pretty good. She glanced at the door and the man inside saw her and waved at her.

“Uncle Guye…”

The little girl screamed and went into the room. The man then checked the bandage on her head and clicked it with her hand: “Is it still painful?”

“A little bit of pain…”

“Then rest in the room, don’t run around.”

“No one is in the room, it’s boring, what is Uncle Guye doing, Xiaorou helping you?”

“This is very dangerous, you can’t touch it, there are injuries on your head, give you sugar to eat, sit and watch.”

The man known as Uncle Guye is naturally Ning Yi, a young daughter who is the daughter of Su Family, whose name is Chen Jiurou. On the day of the earthquake, I was thrown into my head by the things, and blood was released. But then I checked the injury but it was not heavy. It was a big fate. At this time, it was only two or three days, and I was already jumping around.

Although it was raining, because the shed was strong, there was no leaking place inside, and the ground was dry. Several wooden baskets and sieves were placed on the floor in the room, large and small, and some were racked up. These containers are basically mixed powders. On rainy days, when the weather is wet, the powders are not very dry. Ning Yi took some lines on the side of the ground.

“Beware to hide a little away.”

He finished the little Young Lady and took a fire to the top to touch it. The “Peng” was raised, and the flames rose and then turned into smoke. The little Young Lady was suddenly stunned, and the body was almost a circle at the side, but the eyes were smashed several times and then widened. I wanted to see the sight in front of me.

Su Tan Er, who came in from outside the door, was also shocked. In addition, there was a nephew and Juan’er, and the child was curious to find his head. Juan’er adjusted his position behind Su Tan Er and seemed to be trying to make himself I became mellow and tried to put a line with my own guy and young lady. The ultimate goal was not to let Ning Yi see myself.

“Yang Gong, this is… gunpowder?”

Su Tan Er walked over with a slight frown, picked up the little soft and looked at the bandage on her head, but her eyes still stayed on Ning Yi. When she was married to Ning Yi, she would have to ask the understanding of the temper, and that was the sense of responsibility. At this time, there was nothing unexpected about what Ning Yi was doing. It was Ning Yi who had blown up the house and fired it. As long as she saw that it was Ning Yi, she wouldn’t be angry. I would rather study it with her husband. But naturally, there is still some curiosity and hesitation. After all, gunpowder is dangerous.

“Well, I’m squatting with something, this thing is dangerous, I’ll get back later, let people watch, don’t touch the fire.”

Ning Yi puts the gunpowder in small wooden buckets and hammers things. Xiao Chan looked at it and then helped me in the past: “It was the bucket that Xiang Gong had ordered from the money house a few days ago.”

“Added something.” Ning Yi looked at Su Tan Er and smiled. “It’s a rainy day, I hope I don’t need it. If not, it’s not enough.”

Later, several people in the family carefully put the gunpowder into a small bucket, then called the person, and moved to the slightly smaller room where the food could be stored. Ning Yi put a smock on the outside, Su Tan Er holds the little Young Lady, and Juan’er holds the umbrella and keeps up. On the road outside the courtyard, most of the apricots are wet with umbrellas. In the rain, the people in the house were commanded to carry the things in the ruins, to be thrown or to be taken in and collected, and even the guards and other people listened to her command. It seems that it is like a girl with a similar leader temperament as Su Tan Er.

When I saw Ning Yi and others, she gathered wet hair and ran over with a skirt.

At the same time, there were other people in Taiping Lane. They pushed the car or put a frame in the rain. They met Ning Yi and respectfully called him Su Family guye or Ningjia Guye, also called Ning Shaoye Ning. This is quite a mess, but it is also said to have been greeted.

After all, the reason for this is still due to the events that occurred on the night of the earthquake and two or three days later. Ning Yi has no specific implementation experience for the earthquake relief, but in the afterlife, many of the information is deaf, and it is always understood for many basic measures. He led the people to figure out what happened to their own family, and then went to other people in Taiping Lane to help.

At first, naturally, it is just a gang of help, but in these urgent situations, many things can’t be hidden. Ning Yi directs everyone to dig and save people. When the ability to conduct command and control the overall situation is revealed a little bit, others will often involuntarily follow his arrangement, and then the whole scene will be very smooth. After many people were rescued and avoided several times because of the scourge caused by recklessness, everyone naturally remembered him.

This is not a matter of how good the sword can go. It can’t be said to be very amazing. When it comes out, it shines brightly. It was originally a temperament that was formed in the decision-making layer for a long time. If it is a otaku who is present, it is the position given to his leader. This person is also inevitably flustered and unfounded. It is also unreasonable to disappoint a command and feel that this person is not reliable. However, even if Ning Yi casually said a “do this” command, others would involuntarily feel that “this person has a good heart”, very few people will question the kind of momentum that Ning Yi showed at a critical juncture, so It made the whole scene well organized.

After all, this is a kind of self-confidence that people who have long-term responsibility naturally develop. When he really grasps some basic points and can obey the order, the rest of the things are simple.

Afterwards, carrying things and saving people, screaming that the people who moved the ruins should not cause a second collapse. Especially with the cooperation of others, the corpses under the rubble were moved out of Taiping Lane for the first time for burning. Obstruction. This was enforced in other parts of the city, even by the soldiers, and almost a big conflict broke out.

Then several of the families in this lane were influenced by the couples Ning Yi and Su Tan Er. To be honest, Ning Yi entered Su Family, which was originally called Su Family guye, but some people know that his surname is Ning, and he is called Ning surname, Ningguye Ning Laoye Ning Shaoye is not enough, Su Tan Er and three The servant girl has also made great efforts in those circumstances, but they are women, and the unfamiliar neighbors naturally do not take the liberty to speak.

On the first day after the earthquake, Ning Yi asked people to have enough food from the money house to store them. By the way, they also asked for two barrels of gunpowder. Today is the third day of the rain, Ning Yi got empty, and further processed the big gunpowder. At this time, the military used it was already black powder, but in performance, it was not the best. Some places were equipped with firearms to defend the city, which was thrown down with a barrel of gunpowder. Ning Yi made some changes to the ingredients of the black powder, adding and subtracting. At this time, there is no fine processing environment, but it can always increase the performance and is barely available.

The performance of pyrotechnics is no better than the smokeless gunpowder that requires chemical processes. After all, Ning Yi is keen on gunpowder, which is also the inertia of thinking. It can be used simply for local thunder, bombs and the like. In fact, this year, sulfuric acid and other things have already been there. He has been drumming for more than a year in Jiangning. If it is there, you should really get some smokeless gunpowder, or the prototype of nitrocellulose, which is smokeless gunpowder. Yes, but the initial smoke-free gunpowder is indeed too dangerous, so it has been shelved. He is not willing to hand over these crafts to others, otherwise Kangxian’s large number of people are waiting to be killed. At this time in Hangzhou, just want to be anxious, it can not do so much.

After all, the economic system and social system of the medieval world are difficult to give Ning Yi a sense of security. The first thing to do with the disaster is to do this. The gunpowder is also just in case, just not to say that something really happens. In the past few days, Hangzhou has initially controlled the situation in the city, but various unfair things are still happening.

Because the chaos caused some people in the rivers and lakes to take risks, the competition for property, and then the various conflicts caused by the burning of the bodies. The square on the side of Taiping Lane has passed away in the earthquake. The vice square has no main heart. In the past few days, Ning Yi has also been found. It is necessary to repair the fence near Taiping Lane and organize the patrols.

In the city, people like a street hit another street. There are several things like this, usually because of small disputes caused by individuals, or the friction caused by the organization of the excavation of the ruins. There are also some thieves and thieves who have no family, looking for money in the ruins in the night.

Before the rain, I gave everyone a buffer for one day, but quite a few people in the city still have to save their food and money. There is enough manpower like a big family like Qianjia. The whole grain storage in Hangzhou will not suffer too much damage. However, due to the loss of small families, the price of food in the city has soared in these days–even though there are disasters. After the initial control, some people took the opportunity to open the store and took the opportunity to raise the price to make huge profits.

In the heavy rain, I saw my own situation. After a while, the deputy square was coming over. Pulling Ning Yi to visit the family of some deceased people in the lane, Ning Yi also passed. At the end of the street, a wealthy merchant named Tang was crushed to death by the collapsed house. The son was later rescued by Ning Yi. At this time, he simply made a mourning hall, wearing a filial piety, and crying but also pulling Ning Yi. The deputy square is probably trying to recommend him to the main event. Then he mentioned the various contacts with the government. He couldn’t help but talk about his identity. He made a few words, and his heart became annoying. He pushed things back and was sent out to inquire about the city. The driver of the event, Dong Zhu, has also returned. He is taking off his clothes and then begins to report what he has seen and heard.

“I don’t know how, although the rain is getting bigger, the flow of people outside the city seems to be more and more. The fallen wall is already being repaired. The military lords of Wudeying have sealed the city. If it is not the post given by Guye, I I am afraid that the people can’t get in. Those who can’t get in and make trouble outside, the people who are in the door are also dying in the food, but the people in Chengli are not enough, and the people outside the city are almost the same…”

Let Dongzhu go out, mainly to observe the situation outside the city. Su Tan Er listened and sighed.

“The west side is already fighting, and the displaced people are running here. This earthquake, the disasters of the ten miles and the eight towns are all over.”

Ning Yi thought about it and smiled. “Before we were in Jiangning, it was a little catastrophic. The people nearby were also coming to the city, right?”

His words are somewhat certain, and some are like temptations. After all, he does not know what the past is like. Su Tan Er looked at him and nodded after thinking about it: “Yeah, in fact, there is always more than the countryside in the city, and there are government officials. In order to starve to death, there are always people who want to put food… Thinking about?”

“The rice is ripe, at most, for a month and a half, the rice in this season will be cut. The earthquake is a big thing, but the person who was crushed to death once the house fell, the rest can always Looking for some surplus food to survive this period of time, how come so suddenly…”

“Is there a problem with Xianggong?”

The apricot also rounded his eyes: “Fang, Fang La? Guye means…”

Ning Yi shook his head with a smile: “No, it should be that I think more. There are more people in the west. We have come here for only two months. I don’t know how many former people will be there. I don’t care very much. I think so now, maybe it’s because we are not local people, so I think it’s sensitive. I don’t think there is any shortage of people in Hangzhou. I should consider and prevent these things. However, it is a pity that the river has collapsed, otherwise I would rather get a ship, and I will return to Jiangning a few days later. Anyway, I am ready to go at the beginning. Now if I want to take the land, there is no need for the people to be scattered. Right, is there anything in town?”

Dong Zhu thought for a moment: “Oh, Qian Jia, Mu Jia and several other families started selling food this morning. The price is three times that of the previous one, but it is much cheaper than others. In addition, it rains. A few days later, Cheng Li dug to dig up and said that the burning of the body was not as urgent as it was a few days ago. Some people in the north of the city hit the body of the dragging body this morning, and they played really hard. They were killed on the spot, and now they are in trouble…”

Ning Yi frowned, the landlord will start to flatten the price of food. This is to be expected. Although most people look at the merchants or landlords, the chaotic Hangzhou City is not in their interest. The best way is naturally to carry out a new round of mergers and embezzles throughout the recovery process. However, the corpse thing is…

“It’s not a big deal to have such a big rain, it’s a little late.” Su Tan Er thought and laughed. She also knew the need to burn the body, but as a person of this era, after the death of man Direct burning usually has a certain degree of repulsion. Relatively speaking, this heavy rain has given everyone a chance to cushion. However, when she saw Ning Yi frowning, she whispered, “What about the public?”

Ning Yi smiled and didn’t speak.

This evening, the heavy rain seemed to have a weakening trend. The couple stood outside the window of the shack and looked out. The room was lit with lights and the room was simple, but for Su Tan Er, it was a warm light, and there were occasional people outside the house. Walked through, or heard a trivial dialogue. She was also tired for a day. After taking a bath, she put on her single coat and held Ning Yi’s hand: “What is Xianggong thinking?”

“If the rain stops tomorrow, I want to go to the city gate to see what it looks like outside. Dong Zhu said that there are many people. I don’t know how many people there are.”

Su Tan Er put his chin on his shoulder: “Let’s go together… Does the public still feel dangerous here?”

“I can’t talk about it.” Ning Yi took her shoulder. “I would think that if I were Fangla, I would take the opportunity to hit Hangzhou. But the strength and deployment of Wudeying, the control of Hangzhou House, and even The situation in Fangla is not clear at all. I have to say that there is no basis for this. In terms of reason, the cadre’s command, speed, and combat effectiveness must be very problematic. Hangzhou is not without talents. People are not grass bags. They used to block Fangla. Now they will certainly be vigilant. Therefore, from this point of view, I prefer that Hangzhou will not have an accident. It’s just a look. It’s a step back, if Fang Lazhen Ready to take it here, the response should not be so fast…”

Su Tan Er nodded. She was a little lazy. She didn’t want to think about things at Ning Yi. Then she heard Ning Yi say, “It’s a corpse, it’s a problem.”

“what happened?”

“If I am a landlord, I will arrest people and open the knife and kill them directly. I announced that this group of people colluded with Fangla, deliberately left the body, inciting contradictions, and plotting to seize the city in times of chaos. After the announcement, there will be no more objections to the handling of the body in the city, and there will be a lot less trouble later…”

“But the city will be chaotic…”

“Nothing can be messed up. No one believes that Fangla will not play the idea of ​​Hangzhou. With this murderous power, it is justifiably strengthening the control inside and outside Hangzhou and doing combat preparation. In this chaos, the situation in the city can be made faster. Control, and second, to prevent it from happening, to prevent the possibility of real turmoil. In this situation, it is the best policy to be highly centralized and vigorous.”

He then laughed again: “Of course, I really want to do this. There are too many troubles in the prefecture. The officialdom is intriguing. This kind of extreme power-receiving method will definitely encounter a lot of resistance… I also want to think about it. I want to stop.”

On the other side of the wife, “Hmm”, then whispered: “It is Xiao Chan’s business, it has been postponed, and there is something in the poetry. Xiang Gong clearly made such a good word, and the earthquake happened in a blink of an eye…”

For this, the wife who loves the husband’s reputation has always been somewhat embarrassed.

******************

In the same night, at the other end of the city, some people looked at the rain curtain in the darkness. There was light on the rain curtain. Among the ruins, there was a shed of grass and grass, but the mourning hall had collapsed halfway.

There are two people talking.

“The heavy rain seems to be stopping. When the rain stops tomorrow, Hangzhou House will no longer be able to ignore the bodies that have not been dug up… Haha, I am afraid that the smell will come out…”

“If it has been hot all the time, this time the body has probably been dug up seven or eighty-eight, and this rain has helped me to wait for a hand. This is a spurt, they will be lucky… but tomorrow will not stop. It should be the next day.”

“That’s just right, let’s prepare for it. Let’s take another day, Buddha Shuai, Xin Xingzong, Liu Dabiao, those people should come. Hearing the stone, what did you say before, the day is not taken, is it against it? Isn’t that just saying this? Haha, as I see it, this Hangzhou should be given to us by God… but unfortunately, it was shocked like this…”

“Heaven and not take it, he is guilty of it; time is not good, it is against it… We are preparing to go here, it will have an earthquake, probably it is God’s will… Once I got it, the brother, Daoan Brothers, they are responding everywhere, and the things in the southeast are set.”

“Haha, you are always literary. I said that the stone is chic, you are so good to learn, why did you always dig a stone in the mountains, you come out as a bookmaker.”

“The road can’t be done. I want to fly in the mountains, I would rather hide in the mountains and dig my stones. I don’t want to teach a bunch of kids to read their books…”

“There is learning, I don’t understand. But it doesn’t matter. My Shibao is a rough person. Why do you say what I do? You say who I kill, I will kill anyone. Haha, when… As you said, the southeast is set. The sage is the emperor, let him give you a singularity, I will be a general. When I go to the brothel, I don’t want to know which one… oh, I heard that there is more beautiful Young Lady in Hangzhou. Will live, I don’t bully them, I give money, hahahaha…”

The laughter went a little arrogantly. The black shadow standing in front of the window looked at the rain screen for a while and smiled. “Oh, if you don’t make a stone to make money than teaching, who is going to make a stone? Ask a good question. ……” He sighed and cast his gaze further, shaking like a slang between the rain curtains.

“I am waiting for this day…”

******************

The next day, the rain was still down, just a little smaller. After breakfast, Ning Yi and Su Tan Er, the nephew still drove the carriage, left Taiping Lane, and went over the gate of the city, ready to see the situation outside the city at this time… (to be continued.
