Chapter 766: People have no intention to harm tigers, but tigers have the power to hurt people’s hearts
Sang Zhixia rushed back to the city in the rain. Along the way, the water in some places was so deep that it reached above the knees.
Xue Liu was forced to stay in the city because of his leg injury. Seeing Sang Zhixia return, the tension on his face visibly relaxed. He exhaled and said quickly, "If the boss doesn't come back soon, I'm afraid I'll have to go and urge him to come."
“Here…”
"Sister Xia!"
Tian Ying'er relied on her lightness skills and was too lazy to wade out of the water. She tiptoed over the surface and landed in front of Sang Zhixia as light as a swallow. Without even standing still, she hurriedly said, "Sister, why did you come back alone?"
"Where's Chen Jing'an?"
"Didn't he go out with you?"
Catching the worry in Tian Ying'er's eyes, Sang Zhixia paused and said, "The situation at the ferry isn't good. He's staying there for the time being."
Tian Ying'er let out a cry and her face immediately wrinkled into a ball: "This person usually looks quite smart, why is he so confused at this time?"
"The ferry over there is almost a dead end. What's the point of him staying there?"
"No, I have to go get him back!"
Sang Zhixia grabbed Tian Ying'er as she turned to leave, her voice hoarse, even though she herself hadn't noticed, "From now on, you are not allowed to leave my sight."
"But I..."
"Ying'er."
Sang Zhixia interrupted Tian Ying'er and said word by word: "Be obedient."
"It's already this late, I don't have the energy to look for anyone else."
"Stay with Xu Mingyang, Sang Yanyou and the others to help me. As for the ferry..."
Sang Zhixia forced a smile. "Chen Jing'an is smarter than a monkey. If he dares to stay, he must have a way to escape. You can't help at this time. There's no need."
Although Tian Ying'er was very worried about Chen Jing'an's situation, her trust in Sang Zhixia finally prevailed.
The expression on her face changed again and again, and finally she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Sang Zhixia pursed her lips calmly and asked, "How's the situation in East City?"
"And the canals dug in various places. Has the grain from the warehouses been stored?"
Tian Ying'er's attention was diverted when the business was brought up, and she said seriously, "The canal is still being dug. This thing is really useful."
"The flood height is much lower where the canal was dug. With more people working, the terrain in the south city is higher, and with the help of the canal, the water outside can no longer flood into the house."
Tian Ying'er couldn't say the rest and subconsciously looked at Xue Liu.
Xue Liu quickly replied, "The grain that has been transferred out has been divided into batches according to the degree of water damage. The grain that has been most affected by water is already being processed in batches in the vacated area."
Flour is made into steamed buns and pancakes, and rice is made into rice balls and rice cakes.
During the following days, the news of the free food distribution spread throughout the city. As soon as the smoke from the cooking stove began to rise, people came to inquire whether it was true or not.
Xue Liu suppressed his distress and said, "Don't worry, Boss. We'll use the food in the warehouse to feed the people of the city. They'll have enough refined rice and flour to eat every day, which will be enough for at least half a month."
"It only takes a short time. If the cooks at the kitchen work faster, the food won't get moldy in a short time."
There is no need to worry about not being able to finish the food when there are many people.
Moreover, Sang Zhixia also paid the woman who cooked, which in disguise was to gather these relatively slow people to a relatively safe place.
But all the food these people ate was real money from Sang Zhixia.
Anyone who sees such huge sums of money being spent would feel a pang of pain.
Sang Zhixia didn't care about it.
"If we can eat it, it's not just feeding the fish at the bottom of the river. It's our good fortune to have stored this food."
Xue Liu sighed and said, "Everyone in East City has already moved to South City. Thanks to those sword-wielding soldiers, if they hadn't rushed over to calm the situation, there would have been more trouble."
The wolf soldiers who have fought on the battlefield and experienced life and death are completely different from the ruffians, and their style of doing things is surprisingly simple and rough.
If you are willing to cooperate, you can go on your own.
If you open your mouth and shout, a knife will be placed on your neck.
If you encounter someone who is throwing a tantrum and rolling on the ground, just go up and knock him unconscious with a few clicks, tie his hands and feet, and drag him away.
Anyway, the higher-ups only said that everyone here should be removed, but they didn't say that they must be persuaded to leave with kind words.
The process is not important and the means are harmless.
As long as the goal is achieved, it's fine.
With such a terrifying and powerful deterrent, no matter how dissatisfied the remaining people were, they would not dare to challenge the soldiers who would beat them to a bloody pulp if they disagreed with them.
Except for a brief disturbance at the beginning, the subsequent transfer went smoothly.
With these stubborn people in East City setting an example, people in West City and North City were very worried.
Seeing that the people from the Fan and Gui families dared not resist anymore, they all held tightly to their hastily packed small bags and were driven to the South City like docile little lambs.
People from the entire Nanyun City were gathering towards Nancheng, which had the highest terrain.
As more people come together, many problems arise.
Xue Liu sighed, "We meant well, and the wealthy people in South City were generous. They didn't even wait for us to come and ask for help. They took the initiative to open their homes and shops to let us in for shelter, but..."
"But not everyone knows what is good and what is bad, and not everyone knows how to be grateful."
"Mr. Mingyang and his companions had just arrived in the city when they heard that there was trouble at Manager Liu's place, so they rushed over without even getting off their horses."
There are thousands of kinds of things and thousands of faces of people.
Most people can tell right from wrong and are willing to cooperate, but there are always those who try to take advantage of the situation.
Upon learning that someone had taken advantage of the excuse of hiding from the rain to rob and steal valuables from the owner's house, and had injured several people in the chaos, Sang Zhixia's brows were furrowed with a deep wrinkle.
"This won't work."
People have no intention of harming tigers, but tigers hurt people's hearts.
If you let a vicious tiger into your home out of a momentary kindness, and it ends up harming yourself, who would still be willing to be a good person?
Sang Zhixia said decisively: "Have Mingyang and the others already gone?"
"yes."
Xue Liu couldn't hide his admiration and said, "The two young masters rushed over as soon as they knew something was wrong. After all, they were raised by you and the young master."
"Although he is young, his decisiveness and composure in the face of difficulties reveal some of your and the young master's demeanor."
At least most fifteen-year-olds are still children at home.
But when the storm came, these two young men, who usually looked unruly, showed a reassuring tenacity.
Sang Zhixia thought of the brat who was already much taller than her and couldn't help but chuckle, "They are all good kids."
Although young people's shoulders are thin, they can still carry things.
She had underestimated them before...
but……
Sang Zhixia's eyes were slightly stern, and she said jokingly, "Let's go and see how our two young masters deal with it."
Of course it would be best if we could calm the situation down in one fell swoop.
If we can't suppress those who want to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble...
Sang Zhixia sneered, "There's an adult breathing heavily standing behind the child."
"I wonder who dares to let them suffer injustice!"
