Chapter 86 Shoes



Ruanruan pursed her lips and thought: "Hmm... I don't know either. There are many people suffering from the cold over there, Xiaogan brother."

"Anyway, the more the better!"

Ruan Jingye said generously: "Okay, since we have money, let's buy it."

With such a large sum of money, he would be so happy to buy things!

Buy whatever you want!

Not sad yet.

"Thirty thousand pieces should be enough, right? If not, we can add more when the time comes. The sizes should be one size fits all. It can be bigger, but not smaller."

Ruan Jingye held his cell phone and typed frantically.

"There are also some convenient foods, such as self-heating rice and self-heating hot pot."

Ruanruan thought for a moment and continued.

Ruan Jingye: "I understand! Uncle, please take care of the arrangements."

He sent a voice message to his assistant, "The disaster area over there needs some convenient supplies, such as instant noodles, self-heating pots, Red Bull, Pulse, and anything that can fill your stomach and keep you energized."

"Oh, it's cold over there too. Buy some thermal underwear and heating pads or something."

When Ruanruan heard this, she opened her eyes wide and gave her uncle a thumbs up.

My uncle is so awesome!

She just mentioned it a few times and her uncle immediately understood.

Uncle Ruan thought of Ruanruan saying that they were short of everything over there, and looked at Ruanruan, "Do you need shoes over there?"

Ruanruan looked at Uncle Ruan seriously, sniffed, and nodded quickly: "Yes!"

"That's fine, but we don't know what size shoes they wear. You can ask about the size and give it to me. I'll ask the factory to make it." Ruan Jingye said.

"Tell your brother-in-law that the money has arrived. Ask him if he wants to buy anything else. I'll have it delivered tomorrow."

Ruanruan nodded, "Okay!"

"Okay, let's go eat first."

Ruan Jingye stood up and pulled Ruanruan out.

Ruanruan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that her little brother would be feeling better.

With some more gunpowder, maybe we can defeat those people.

As soon as she finished her meal, she told her little brother the good news!

It was already midnight for Zhao Chengqian and his team, but everyone was still rushing forward without stopping.

The chief guard rode up to Zhao Chengqian and said:

"Sir, it's getting late. It's cold at night and the soldiers are wearing thin clothes. Why don't we find a cave first, rest for a while, and then continue our journey when daybreak comes."

Zhao Chengqian sat on the horse and looked back at the people who were moving forward.

They walked very slowly, with their necks hunched. If you looked closely, you could see that they were shaking as they walked, but they still persisted.

Their faces were all red and purple from the cold, their eyes were vague and lifeless, and they would stretch out their hands to breathe out from time to time.

There were only a few horses in Youzhou, and all the horses in the prefect's villa were taken away by the King of Jin.

The only dozen or so horses they had left were still kept in the backyard of the prefect's mansion for emergencies.

With so many people, everyone had to walk.

"Let them all stop, find a cave to rest, and drink some porridge to warm themselves up."

The captain of the guards led his men to find a large cave nearby that was large enough to accommodate 10,000 people.

They built a fire in the cave and cooked rice porridge.

The dark cave was illuminated by a dim yellow light.

Compared to the white snow outside, it is warmer and more cozy inside.

The soldiers gathered together, took off their wet shoes, and warmed themselves by the fire.

"It's so cold outside. Fortunately, the prince is considerate of us, otherwise I feel like my feet would be frozen!"

"Yeah, but luckily it's not snowing. We should still be able to make it despite this delay."

"Don't say such discouraging words. We will definitely be able to rush over to support the prince and his men. I hope the prince can walk slower."

"Hurry, the porridge is ready!"

Everyone was hungry, so they scooped porridge from the pot spoonful by spoonful and poured it into bowls.

Zhao Chengqian glanced at the soldiers who were all holding bowls of porridge and drinking it, and his eyes fell on their toes that were red, cracked and bleeding from the cold.

They didn't care at all and happily drank their porridge and chatted and laughed with others.

There were also children about thirteen or fourteen years old inside, their faces red from the cold, their lips cracked and bleeding, their toes purple and red, and the soles of their feet were also bloody.

“Ah! Hiss~~”

"My feet, I can't feel them!"

At this moment, screams were heard from a group of people.

Zhao Chengqian immediately led his men over and saw several people kneeling on the ground howling.

When the people around him took off their shoes and socks, they found that the cotton shoes the man was wearing had a big hole in them and were stuffed with straw. After walking such a long way, his feet were frozen white.

The person next to him rubbed him hard.

The accompanying military doctor shook his head after examining the toes and said, "The two toes are black and look like they are necrotic."

"I should have said it earlier and rubbed it in time, so that it wouldn't have become like this."

It wasn't just that one person, the same thing happened to several others.

The military doctor saluted Zhao Chengqian and said, "Sir, their clothes and shoes are too thin. If they continue like this, they will fall ill before they even reach Qingzhou."

"This isn't a solution."

"Okay, I understand. Go give them treatment first. If they can be cured, we must cure them."

Zhao Chengqian called Yingyi and walked out of the cave.

He got on a carriage at the side of the cave and took out the vase from the box of the carriage.

"Soft?"

He called out a few times, but there was no response.

The shadow next to him said, "Prince, the little fairy must be away for something. Why don't we write a letter or a note to tell her, just like the little fairy gave you the gunpowder recipe."

Zhao Chengqian immediately asked Yingyi to take out paper, pen and ink, and write down the situation of the soldiers on the paper.

After writing, he folded the note and stuffed it into the vase.
