Chapter 779: All of this is a conspiracy among us!
Sang Zhixia stayed at the ferry for less than half an hour before turning back.
Most of the people working at the ferry are doing good things.
But at the same time, there can be no problems with food and drink for so many people.
Sang Zhixia smelled the fragrant aroma of rice and flour before she even walked into the door. As she walked into the door amid the sound of falling rain, her vision was dazzled for a moment by the rich heat from the stove.
"Ouch."
"Sister Xia, why are you here?"
Tian Ying'er emerged from a blinding white mist, grabbed Sang Zhixia's hand, and said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "They're just opening the cages right here! White mist is rising into the sky like clouds falling from heaven. Don't go in there, or you might fall."
Sang Zhixia wanted to say that she was not that pretentious, but she really couldn't see anything in the vast expanse of white. She could only follow Tian Ying'er's force and move to a place a little further away.
Seeing the white flour marks on Tian Ying'er's face, Sang Zhixia couldn't help laughing: "Why are you here?"
"Can you cook?"
Tian Ying'er rubbed her nose awkwardly: "I don't know how to do that."
"Isn't Chen Jingan annoying? I won't rush into the kitchen unless he keeps nagging me."
Tian Ying'er is very skilled and brave. No matter whether it is the side of a ship, a cliff, or the eaves or roof, she jumps like a flowing cloud and floats as lightly as a swift skimming the water.
Relying on his unparalleled lightness skills, he went through rain and water, and worked hard for several days to carry people.
Various people who are trapped in water and unable to escape.
She herself didn't think it was a big deal, but Chen Jingan, who was hanging out at the ferry, was unhappy.
Tian Ying'er curled her lips: "He doesn't dare to stop me from doing anything."
"But right now, we're already short of manpower, and they even sent two people to protect me, fearing that I might fall into the water and be unable to get up. Isn't that a waste of manpower?"
In order to free up the people who were protecting her all the time to do real work, Tian Ying'er had to find a relatively safe place.
That's the kitchen.
A kitchen that is surprisingly large.
The street here was originally a row of shops.
Now Sang Zhixia ordered that all doors be opened wide, clearing away anything that was in the way, and the front door and the small courtyard warehouse at the back were all connected together.
Every place where a stove or pot can be set up is used for cooking.
At first, the only people guarding the stove were those hired by Sang Zhixia.
But as more and more people were transferred from various places to Nancheng for resettlement, more and more people came to him after hearing the news and wanted to do their part.
Tian Ying'er said, "Master Gui originally told these people that all their wages would be paid. But these past few days, no one wants to be paid. Even those who agreed to be paid are refusing to take them. They're working harder than when they were paid."
"Well, the space we originally vacated isn't enough. Many shop owners have vacated their yards. People who can't go to the ferry or the drainage outside are all here."
Most of those who can contribute have gone to relatively dangerous places.
Those who stayed behind were women, children, the elderly and the weak.
These people could not carry sandbags, and could hardly move forward in the deep, cold water.
But when it comes to cooking skills, he is definitely better than anyone else.
The prepared food is mainly for quick filling. It is taken off the stove steaming hot and will be immediately decorated and sent to where it should go.
Anyway, the smoke from cooking fires in the rear will continue day and night, so the people in the front will never go hungry.
Tian Ying'er pulled Sang Zhixia to sit down, took a big gulp of water, and then continued, "Didn't sister say earlier that everyone should eat the food we distributed first, and put our own food aside for now?"
"At first, these people only ate our food. But since the day before yesterday, I don't know how the word got around, but many of them brought us food from their homes, saying they couldn't do anything else but help gather some food."
Gui Sheng and Fan Shicheng are mainly in charge of this matter, and they didn't want to accept any gifts.
But the people who came to deliver the food were very determined. No matter how much food was, they would just put it down and leave, and would not listen to any advice.
In other words, during the two days that Sang Zhixia had no time to take care of, although the prepared food was constantly being sent out, there was actually not much food left in the pile.
There is in and out.
Sang Zhixia didn't expect it to turn out like this. After a moment of hesitation, she laughed and said, "That's quite thoughtful."
"At this moment, if you still act so heartless, wouldn't our efforts be in vain?"
Tian Ying'er rolled her eyes and said, "There are many good people, but there are also many evil people."
"But don't worry, sister. Xu Mingyang and I are watching over us. Anyone who dares to talk too much will be beaten with sticks. No one dares to cause trouble!"
There will be no shortage of food. The doctors and medicine boys organized by Old Qi and Xu Yanran also braved the rain and carried their medicine boxes as they shuttled through the crowd.
All injured people will receive timely medical treatment, and pot after pot of hot medicine will be delivered like water.
Sang Zhixia exhaled slowly, looked up at the raindrops falling, and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.
All human effort has been done.
The only thing left to do now is God's will...
Although the city of Nanyun was constantly being washed by the terrifying rain, the express horses traveling between the city and the outside world never stopped.
The terrible flood that threatened the entire Jiangnan region seemed to have been stopped by human power from destroying everything, and it seemed that everything was turning in a good direction.
But beneath the huge waves that were forcibly suppressed, there were also invisible undercurrents rising and falling.
Ningnan direction.
Several blurry figures jumped out from the grass taller than a person. The one in the lead covered his bleeding arm, cursed, and pushed away the person who tried to support him.
"waste!"
"They are all a bunch of trash!"
Hao Liang had long lost the arrogance and domineering attitude he had as a pirate leader. He looked as disheveled as if he had just been pulled out of a mud pit. He staggered a few times and managed to stand firm. He gritted his teeth and said, "I can't let this go like this. Absolutely not!"
The people following Hao Liang had sorrowful expressions on their faces and said dryly, "Boss, aren't those people from Qian An already dead?"
"Everyone is dead, and we still..."
"Just because Qian An didn't die in my hands, this matter isn't over yet, you know?!"
Hao Liang angrily interrupted his confidant, glaring at him with scarlet eyes as he spoke each word: "We've all fallen into the trap."
"All of this was planned by one of us!"
As early as two days ago, the exhausted Hao Liang learned the news of the death of Qian An, the Governor of Jiangnan and others.
It’s not that Hao Liang has hidden powers and knows everything, but the news of these people’s deaths was directly announced through the government’s notice, so it’s difficult to pretend not to know.
When Hao Liang saw the unique emblem of Lingnan on the official notice, he felt as if he was struck by thunder, and a chill ran down his spine.
The Lingnan army was still in Chuzhou, and the Jiangnan area was still in the hands of Emperor Yongshun.
Why would the official list have the Lingnan emblem?
If the entire Jiangnan area has fallen into the hands of the Lingnan people, then when did these people start taking action?
Why did Qian An die because he escaped and was beheaded?
Didn’t Qian An have already planned to take refuge in Lingnan?
All kinds of doubts flashed through Hao Liang's mind, and what was left in the end was an unspeakable shock.
They all fell into the trap.
From the Governor-General of Jiangnan to Qian An, and even to him, all of them were manipulated in the palm of someone's hand.
When the true intention is revealed, Qian An and others are useless and their only fate is death.
But Hao Liang was unwilling to die like this.
Even if he was going to die, he would bite off a piece of flesh from the person who plotted against him!
