Chapter 229 My Daughter Didn’t Bring Me Water
"General! General--" Another shout came from behind.
Su Huiye shouted to the team: "Move forward quickly!"
Then look back.
"General!" Huo Jiangchu came driving a carriage.
"You are not considered a member of the military camp. You are not allowed to go!"
"General, we have collected some food, and I am willing to escort it to the rear."
Huo Jiangchu knew that Su Huiye could not refuse this reason because the army was short of food.
"My sister-in-law said that I am the only one who can escort them. There are two carts this time, and she will continue to collect food and supply it to Yangguan."
Sang Ning and Huo Baohong got out of the vehicle coming from behind.
Huo Baohong didn't want Huo Jiangchu to go to such a dangerous place, but Huo Jiangchu was determined and he couldn't stop him.
Well, transporting food and supplies back and forth is better than going to the battlefield.
"General Su, fight with peace of mind. We will continue to send you food."
For the first time, Sanning felt that the war was so close to them.
How many of these soldiers will be able to come back alive by then?
Or, the entire army will be wiped out.
If the imperial court did not send reinforcements, Liang Province would not be spared.
"Madam Sang, please accept Su Huiye's greeting!" Su Huiye was almost in tears.
No one knew that there was actually only a small amount of grain on the grain truck, and what was underneath was all soil.
The military rations and salaries issued by the court were long gone.
"No, this is what you should do. I know that you are no longer accepting transfer orders, but fighting for this country and for the people behind you.
It is we who should be thanking the soldiers."
Sang Ning took out a red heart knot.
"This is what Miss Xiaofang asked me to pass on to you just now. She said she wanted to give it to you when we got engaged.
General Su, may you all return safely and be reunited with your families."
At this moment, Sang Ning really felt what the old lady said: before a man goes to the battlefield, he must not harbor any resentment.
Because maybe this is the last time we meet.
She had an unpleasant quarrel with Huo Changan. Although it was not her fault alone, she regretted it as time went by.
I regret not telling him the truth after he heard those words, which made him develop dark thoughts out of paranoia, and then he hated himself and left with a lot of negative emotions.
If she had it to do over again, she would probably have handled it better.
In fact, he is really easy to coax.
Su Huiye took the heart knot and gulped in his throat.
Without another word, he mounted his horse again and galloped forward without hesitation.
There seemed to be a hint of moisture in the wind.
Huo Jiangchu and a few others drove a horse-drawn carriage and followed the team.
"Strange, why didn't County Magistrate Bai come?"
"Is that Magistrate Rong? Why doesn't he come forward?"
Huo Baohong looked in one direction.
"Fourth Old Wife, Jiang Lin hasn't come back yet. Could he have sneaked out of the city? Should we tell Magistrate Rong about it? If they think he's escaped, don't let us all get into trouble."
Huo Baohong hadn't slept well for two days. He was so worried and angry that he wanted to break off relations with his eldest son.
"I'll go and talk to you."
Sang Ning ran over, but Rong Kun walked away so quickly that he disappeared in a flash.
"Madam Sang, are you going to plead for Huo Jianglin?" someone suddenly asked.
Sang Ning took a look and found that he was an acquaintance.
A yamen runner.
When I first opened the snack shop, I was specifically assigned to maintain public security on that street.
She also gave me a lot of skewers to eat.
"ah!"
"Don't worry, Madam Sang. The master said that he will be released after two days of detention. He was told not to run around anymore."
It turned out that he was caught.
Sang Ning thought Huo Jianglin was trying to leave the city and was caught, but the yamen runner looked around and whispered, "Huo Jianglin said he found people from Western Liao in the woods to the north, but you don't believe him, sir.
I thought what he said seemed to be true, so I went to the woods over there to take a look.
Unexpectedly, a large area of trees over there was burned.
Madam Sang, is your cousin addicted to burning forests?
Is this true?
Sang Ning turned around and told Huo Baohong.
"Impossible! I know Jiang Lin best. He was so frightened by the fire that he couldn't even light a fire. How could he possibly burn the forest again?"
That would be a serious matter.
"We have to go to the prison and ask," said Sanning.
"Madam Sang, Madam Sang——"
Zhu Fansheng ran over while waving.
"Mr. Huo vomited blood again, and your mother-in-law asked you to go home quickly."
Sang Ning was stunned for a moment before he realized who "Mr. Huo" was.
She had only seen Chen Yue once since she arrived, and he had never shown up at other times.
Is this vomiting blood due to something happening at home?
Sang Ning immediately stopped caring about anything else and hurried home.
Huo family.
Dagang and Xiaohong kept screaming.
Xie Yurou also leaned on the kang and vomited.
Sang Ning ran in: "What happened to the third sister-in-law?"
"Ning'er, this is what happened..." Li Yuzhi quickly told her the situation.
It turned out that Li Yuzhi changed her clothes today. Xie Yurou said there was a disgusting smell and vomited on the spot.
Fortunately, the family was close and didn't think too much about it, so Li Yuzhi took off her clothes and let others smell them.
No one else can smell it.
Xie Yurou ran outside to scoop some water from the water tank, and after smelling it, she started vomiting again.
Everyone had drunk the water in the water tank outside before, so Huo Jingya took the ladle and took a sip.
Then he said it was a little different from before.
"Jinxiu was smart. She poured the water on Dagang and Xiaohong. But then you see they bared their teeth and started barking wildly, even spilling the water."
"Ning'er, there are a few people at the coal yard who didn't go to work today. I heard they're sick. Ruomei told me that the villagers who went to see the doctor are whispering about it after they come back. The clinic is overcrowded with patients, all with sore throats and itchy bodies.
The doctor suspected that the honeycomb coal had poisonous gas, as he had never seen such a symptom before.
Now the government has distributed honeycomb coal to the people, and when the weather gets cold, everyone has started using it.
No wonder they would be suspicious about this.
"Of course it's not about honeycomb briquettes."
Sang Ning scooped up some water and smelled it, and there really was an indescribable strange smell.
She couldn’t smell it two days ago!
“It’s the water.”
"Sister-in-law, please ask a doctor to test the water. Jingya and I will go to the Moon Well to take a look."
"good!"
Sang Ning and Huo Jingya went to the coal yard to take a look first.
Yue Buyuan said that nearly twenty people did not come today.
Logically speaking, they are reluctant to have a shortage of workers as their families need food!
Unless you are too sick to get up!
Sang Ning glanced around and saw Zhao Xiaoyong working hard again.
She asked Qin Wangyuan, "Is there anything unusual about this person?"
"I didn't realize he's quite capable. A few days ago, he left work early, and one of my subordinates followed him. He and that girl named Xiaolian went to the woods for a tryst..."
All in all, I didn't find anything wrong.
"But then again, that Xiaolian comes here every day to bring water to his father and Zhao Xiaoyong. Why haven't we seen her in the past two days?"
Sang Ning still felt that Zhao Xiaoyong was lying.
No one can go three years without muscle atrophy.
"I'll go ask."
She went to Xiaolian's father's place.
Xiaolian's father is old, but he has been busy working in the fields all year round and is in good health. However, he looked a little listless today, and his arms were weak when he moved them.
"Uncle, your daughter didn't bring you any water today? If you're thirsty, go to the Huo family and ask for a bowl."
"Oh, Madam Sang, all right, all right.
Xiaolian went to her aunt's house. They had distributed food, so I asked her to deliver some. Her aunt has difficulty walking, so Xiaolian always stays for two days before returning.
