Chapter 063 Chapter 63
Xu Duanyi arrived in Yutian in the evening.
After all, traveling with a convoy and carrying a large amount of supplies is certainly not as convenient as riding a horse or taking a car.
Except when Xu Duanyi was a child, he took a long time to walk from Liaoning to Beijing.
But that was more than ten years ago and I can’t remember it clearly.
Normally, the farthest place she went was Huang'en Temple. How could she have been jolted on the road for so long like today?
Nearly one day.
Xu Duanyi felt that his waist was almost broken by the shaking of the carriage.
I felt groggy all the way.
It's inevitable to feel dizzy.
Xu Duanyi leaned against the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.
"Master, we have arrived at Yutian."
Shi Yu was observing the movements outside, and when he saw the words "Yutian" written on the old plaque in front of him, he excitedly spoke to his master beside him.
In this flood, almost all the buildings in Yutian County were collapsed. Even the county government office was flooded. The two large drums in front of the gate were also washed away. Only the old plaque marking Yutian County was still standing firmly on the outside, like an old soldier defending a city.
Xu Duanyi opened his eyes when he heard that.
She followed and looked out from behind the car curtain.
Ten days passed.
Today's Yutian County is no longer what it used to be.
Outside the carriage, there was a middle-aged man in a navy blue gown riding a horse.
This man is the current manager of Tzu Chi Hall.
——Guo Tianci.
Normally, whenever Tzu Chi Hall has any operations and Xu Duanyi and Ming are not in a position to take part, he will take charge.
Just like the connection with Yutian this time.
Guo Tianci led the team on several trips.
Guo Tianci has been working at Tzu Chi Tang longer than Xu Duanyi and Ming. He had been working at Tzu Chi Tang as early as when Empress Dowager Zhaoyu was still the Crown Princess.
But he is not a member of the Xiao family.
To be honest, his initial loyalty should have been to Empress Dowager Zhaoyu and Xu Duanyi's mother.
At this time, I saw the car curtain lifted.
Guo Tianci thought it was some instruction and rode over hurriedly.
"Boss, what's wrong?"
Before setting off, in order to avoid any inconvenience, Xu Duanyi instructed that after arriving in Yutian, people should not call her the eldest princess but call her the boss.
"Uncle Guo, are we almost there?"
Xu Duanyi asked Guo Tianci outside, but his eyes were looking at both sides of the street.
There are still many mud pits on the road, and you can vaguely see the ruins after the flood, but there are also many new houses that have been rebuilt.
The most valuable thing is that everyone walking on the street, regardless of gender, age or status, has a smile of hope on their face.
The children were busy moving stones and bricks around, while the women came with lunch boxes and vegetable baskets to deliver meals. The elderly and men were either moving things or building houses.
Everyone has something to do.
Although Xu Duanyi had never seen what the situation looked like after a disaster, he guessed that Yutian was definitely not like this at the beginning, otherwise the county magistrate of Yutian County would not have committed suicide to avoid accountability.
"We'll reach our base in just one more street." Guo Tianci replied respectfully to Xu Duanyi outside.
After saying this, he saw the young master looking outside intently.
Guo Tianci smiled and said, "Thanks to the prince, Yutian County has been transformed. When I first came here, the situation here was not very good."
After Guo Tianci finished speaking, he asked Xu Duanyi, "Will the boss go directly to see the prince, or will he rest in our base first?"
Xu Duanyi thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back and ask where the prince is. If he's not busy right now, I'll go see him."
Guo Tianci agreed with a smile.
A hint of hesitation and uneasiness reappeared in Xu Duanyi's heart.
I wonder what Xie Qingya will think when he sees her?
If he was unhappy, she would ask Uncle Guo to prepare a place for her to live, and then she would go to deliver longevity noodles to Xie Qingya.
If he asks.
Anyway, she came with the Tzu Chi Hall convoy, and they also have a base here, so she just said that she came here to help.
Longevity Noodles——
It can also be said to be the idea of long-term peace and tranquility.
However, Xu Duanyi really wanted to stay.
She has done a lot of good deeds, but this is her first time to come into such close contact with a place after a disaster and people affected by the disaster.
Although the cause was not because of them.
But she really wanted to stay here for a while to see if there was anything else she needed.
The carriage went forward.
Xu Duanyi was thinking about this in his heart.
After entering the city, many people recognized the Tzu Chi Hall convoy.
They were not as high and mighty as the officials in the capital, and the people were always afraid of officials, so whenever someone came from the capital, they only dared to watch from a distance.
But the people at Tzu Chi Hall are very kind. Every time they come to deliver supplies, they are very easy to talk to.
Therefore, the people of Yutian County were very grateful to these living Bodhisattvas who came from the capital.
Almost everyone who recognized the Tzu Chi Hall convoy and Guo Tianci's identity began to greet him warmly from a distance: "Mr. Guo, you are here!"
"Mr. Guo, thank you for your hard work!"
…
Guo Tianci also smiled and bowed to them in greeting.
One of them saw the carriage beside him and asked in surprise: "Mr. Guo, who is in your carriage?"
Guo Tianci replied: "We are the boss."
"She came with us today to take a look."
However, he only said this and had no intention of letting Xu Duanyi show up at this time.
When the others heard of his identity, they naturally did not dare to look over.
So as not to lose the ceremony.
He just greeted Xu Duanyi respectfully outside.
It would not be appropriate for Xu Duanyi to lift the curtain at this moment, so she asked Guo Tianci to speak for her.
But the news that the owner of Tzu Chi Tang had arrived soon spread throughout the city.
By the time Xie Qingya learned about this, Xu Duanyi had already been taken to see him by Qiao Bingyuan, the young chief clerk of the Yutian County Office.
The person who interacted with Tzu Chi Hall every time was this Chief Clerk Qiao.
Guo Tianci had previously introduced Xu Duanyi's identity to him. Xu Duanyi originally wanted to ask Xie Qingya what he was doing at the moment, and if he was not busy, she would go find him.
But this Chief Clerk Qiao is young.
As soon as he heard that Mr. Xie's wife was coming, he hurried to call for help.
This actually scared Xu Duanyi.
At least Shi Yu was able to stop him first and asked where Xie Qingya was.
However, Chief Clerk Qiao was a young man who had not yet married. He would blush when talking to a girl. Moreover, Xu Duanyi was so pretty and was the wife of his current superior. Naturally, he spoke haltingly and unclearly.
Finally, Xu Duanyi had no choice but to ask people if Xie Qingya was busy. This book is exclusively compiled by the LK team. Then Chief Bookkeeper Qiao thought about it and shook his head again.
Then the situation evolved into what it is now. He took Xu Duanyi directly to find Xie Qingya.
And at this time——
Xie Qingya also heard from others that the owner of Tzu Chi Hall had arrived.
Upon hearing the news, Xie Qingya, who was sitting on the tripod and stacking stones, was stunned.
"Boss?"
He asked the man who was speaking, "Who is the owner of Tzu Chi Hall?"
"yes!"
The man was delighted.
In their eyes, Tzu Chi Hall is a living Bodhisattva. Every time they come, they bring all kinds of things, including food, drinks and other necessities.
They have always been grateful to the people at Tzu Chi Hall, not to mention their backers.
When they heard that the owner of Tzu Chi Hall had arrived, they were extremely happy. If they had not finished the work at hand, they would have wanted to go and express their gratitude in person.
At this moment, everyone was very excited because of this news.
They were all talking about the owner of Tzu Chi Hall.
Xie Qingya was still in a trance, and didn't even put down the stone in his hand for a while.
Still, the elder brother beside him called out, "Sir, what's wrong with you?"
Xie Qingya finally came to his senses. He smiled and said, "Nothing."
He was really confused. He actually thought it was Xu Duanyi who came.
How is it possible? This book is compiled exclusively for you by the LK team.
After putting the stone in his hand down, Xie Qingya wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, picked up the tea bowl beside him, and drank the tea with his head tilted back.
The two chive pancakes placed next to it remained untouched.
But I feel a little hungry now.
Xie Qingya was thinking about finishing the work at hand and then going to look for Lingji or Mei Xuezheng and the others.
Just as he was thinking about putting down the tea bowl in his hand and continuing to work, he suddenly heard someone calling him -
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"
Xie Qingya had been in Yutian for quite some time and had become familiar with the people in the county government. When he heard the voice, he knew who it was without turning around.
I just don't know why this kid from the Qiao family is so excited today.
Xie Qingya was still holding the broken tea bowl in his hand, but he turned his head towards the source of the sound. He was about to ask the person what they were doing, but his eyes froze when he saw the person next to him.
The woman next to him was not dressed as luxuriously as usual.
She was wearing a simple green dress, and the jewellery she usually wore was gone. All she had on her body was a pair of green jade earrings and a jasper hairpin.
Her hair was simply combed.
But she just stood there like that.
Outstanding looks and temperament are enough to attract other people's attention.
Xie Qingya originally thought that he was dreaming or his eyes were blurry, until he heard a few whispers in his ears. Over there, Xu Duanyi was still looking at him, and Xie Qingya suddenly came to his senses.
It's like the soul returning to its place.
Xie Qingya's whole body was shaken, and his heartbeat was deafening, making his ears buzz.
Almost without a second thought, still holding the bowl in his hand, he jumped off the stand.
The rest of the crowd just saw him striding forward.
It's a bit strange, why is he so anxious?
"grown ups."
When Qiao Bingyuan saw him coming, he hurriedly bowed and greeted him.
Xie Qingya said nothing.
His eyes were still fixed on Xu Duanyi. At this moment, it seemed that he could no longer see anyone else except her.
Xu Duanyi was also looking at him.
Like Xie Qingya, Xu Duanyi's eyes were filled with disbelief at this moment.
At this time, Xie Qingya did not have the usual dignified look. The King of Nan'an, who spent a lot of money and loved luxury, now mingled among the crowd, wearing the simplest and most ordinary clothes.
Maybe it's too hot.
He had taken off his outer coat and tied it casually around his waist.
No matter how much the clothes were worth in the past.
Unlike the others, he was not upper body naked; he was still wearing an undershirt.
But at this time, the shirt was covered with either marks of sweat or mud that was accidentally splashed up.
Even on his face, there were a few spots of mud that seemed to have splashed from somewhere.
Xu Duanyi had never seen Xie Qingya in such a ferocious state before.
I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
It was under Xu Duanyi's gaze that Xie Qingya realized his current situation. He felt annoyed in his heart, and just as he was about to put on his clothes, he saw that he was holding a broken tea bowl in his hand.
Xie Qingya's eyes were filled with darkness.
He quickly took the tea bowl in his hand and handed it to Qiao Bingyuan without saying a word, and quickly put on the clothes tied around his waist.
Just barely looks like a human being.
Xie Qingya then coughed lightly, looked at Xu Duanyi and asked, "Why are you here?"
When Xu Duanyi heard his voice, she finally came to her senses.
Xu Duanyi glanced past the mud spots on his face. To avoid embarrassing him, he hesitated for a moment, but decided not to hand the handkerchief in his hand to the man at this moment.
She did not tell anyone her real purpose at this time.
"Tzu Chi Hall came to deliver supplies, so I followed them to see the situation here."
I thought it was impossible before, but I didn't expect her to really come.
But in Yutian's environment, Xie Qingya still frowned as he looked at Xu Duanyi: "When are we leaving?"
Xu Duanyi glanced at him and whispered, "Third grade..."
This is what the original plan was.
When Xu Duanyi talked about the third year of junior high school, he kept looking at Xie Qingya. Seeing that he had no reaction to the time, he realized that he probably forgot his birthday.
I also saw that although his brows were frowned, there was no unhappiness in his eyes.
Xu Duanyi breathed a sigh of relief again.
"Am I disturbing you?"
When Xu Duanyi said this, he looked past Xie Qingya and behind him.
She really didn't expect that Xie Qingya would build a house here.
The house behind them had been built for the most part, and at this moment, the people over there were looking at them with curiosity.
Xu Duanyi nodded to them as a greeting.
Xie Qingya naturally wouldn't say it was disturbing.
He really didn't feel disturbed, he just didn't expect it and found it incredible.
He frowned because she came here regardless of the danger.
It's so dangerous here, why didn't others stop her?
But as an outsider, he was not someone who could say anything about Tzu Chi Tang's affairs. Moreover, even if he objected, Xu Duanyi was already in front of him.
It will be getting dark.
We can't let people go back now.
That is even more dangerous. This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team. Xie Qingya could only look at people and ask: "Have you arranged accommodation?"
He thought that if everything was arranged, he would send the person back first.
After a day's running around, she must be tired.
But Qiao Bingyuan, the chief clerk, who had been sitting quietly with a tea bowl in his pocket, was very surprised when he heard this. He looked up at them curiously and asked, "Sir, you and your wife don't live together?"
Xu Duanyi and Xie Qingya fell silent at the same time.
Their eyes met, and they both turned away at the same time.
If you look closely, you'll see that both of them are a little embarrassed at the moment.
After a while, just as Xu Duanyi was about to speak to help Xie Qingya out of trouble, she suddenly heard Xie Qingya say to her, "I'll go over to say hello, and then take you back to the county government office to rest."
Finished.
Xie Qingya did not wait for Xu Duanyi to answer.
He took the tea bowl from Qiao Bingyuan's hand, then turned around and walked forward without looking back.
