The fire burned for two hours. After it was over, Feng Yuheng distributed the disinfectant he had prepared, and the soldiers desperately sprayed it into the ash pile. People calmed down a little, and they kowtowed three times to the corpse pit that had been transformed, and then followed Xuan Tianming and others back to the tent.
As soon as the people came back, Xuan Tiange began to order the soldiers to distribute porridge and rice. It was still light porridge with side dishes, but with more rice, the porridge was thick, and the people enjoyed it very much.
Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianming also ate in the sleeping tent. Feng Yuheng secretly took out a can of luncheon meat from the space to give Xuan Tianming a snack. As a result, you pushed the can to me and I pushed it to you. Even though Feng Yuheng told him that Qian Kun had more in his sleeves, he still insisted on letting her eat first.
Feng Yuheng took a bite helplessly, but she couldn't taste anything in her mouth. She sighed and put down her chopsticks, and asked Xuan Tianming helplessly: "Is it possible that you can't eat at all?"
Xuan Tianming smiled bitterly, but did not put down his chopsticks. He just told Feng Yuheng: "You have to eat even if you can't eat. You must maintain your strength. We must at least ensure that we have strength so that we can help more people."
Feng Yuheng nodded, picked up her chopsticks again, picked up her bowl and continued to eat, but she was thinking about something in her mind. After a while, she spoke again: "We don't have enough manpower, and we can't always let Tiange cook. I originally wanted to transfer some more maids from the city to help, but we don't have enough rain tents to increase manpower. Why not select some women with better physical fitness from the refugees and ask them if they are willing to help. We can pay them some money, and they can also eat better here."
Xuan Tianming had no objection to this and only said: "You can make the decision on this matter. I will follow your lead."
Feng Yuheng added, "I will ask Wangchuan and Huangquan to choose later. Those with good cooking skills will be given priority. Those who can sew are also fine. Even if they can't do anything, at least they can hold plates and bowls." When Xuan Tianhua came last night, he brought several carts of bowls, plates and spoons from the capital, which solved a big problem for Xuan Tiange. Huangquan also laughed at her, saying that Princess Wuyang was a princess after all. In the past, such matters were considered by servants. She could get rice, but she forgot about the bowls and plates.
Just as they were thinking, Wang Chuan came in from outside, followed by a few people. They turned around and saw that it was Xiang Rong, Feng Tianyu and Ren Xifeng.
Feng Yuheng showed a look of joy on his face, and quickly stood up and asked, "Have the clothes been delivered?"
Ren Xifeng took the initiative to step forward, first bowed to Xuan Tianming, and then said: "They are all delivered. This time, it is all thanks to Xiangrong. If it weren't for her advice, I'm afraid this task would not be completed well."
Feng Yuheng looked at Xiangrong in confusion. The girl blushed and lowered her head, refusing to say anything. Feng Tianyu said cheerfully, "At first, we each went home to find our own old clothes. But Ah Heng, you know, even if our clothes are old, they are made of expensive materials, with gauze or pendants hanging on them, and they are not suitable for ordinary people to wear. Even the ladies we know are mostly the same. Later, Xiangrong said, why don't we go to ordinary people to buy clothes? After all, they live in their own houses. Even if the house was not leaking, it was still too cold to go out in such weather. Even if we had no clothes to wear, we could still make them ourselves. So we went to the cloth shop to buy a lot of cloth, and then we took silver and knocked on every door to explain the situation. The people were very reasonable, and most of them exchanged cloth for all the clothes they could afford. For some who were really poor, we even left some change for them. We also looted the clothes of the servants of all the wealthy families, and filled ten carriages with them and gave them all away. "
Ren Xifeng said, "I'm afraid these are not enough. You can use them first and we'll raise more later. I've asked all the tailors I can contact in Beijing to start making clothes. These refugees have been here for more than a day or two. Even if the rain stops, they still have nowhere to go. We must prepare more clothes."
Feng Yuheng finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing these words. Although the tents had been set up and meals had been available in the past two days, there was no change of clothes. People were still wearing wet, dirty and torn clothes. Many people had colds and fevers, and she couldn't cure them all. Her hands were almost sore from taking medicine from the space every day.
She said to Wangchuan, "Go and ask a few soldiers to help distribute the clothes according to each person's size, so as not to waste them." Then she said to Xiangrong and the others, "You guys should also work hard and release them together! We really don't have enough people here, and we are thinking of selecting some healthy people from the refugees to help."
Xiangrong quickly said, "Second sister, how about I stay here?"
She shook her head. "No, you're weak. If you can't help, you might end up falling ill, which would be more trouble than help. We still need to collect clothes. The three of you should stay in the city. I have someone here to help you if you need anything."
Ren Xifeng nodded and said, "That's right. We can't be left without someone to take care of us in the city. Ah Heng, don't worry. We will do our best to provide clothes. If you need anything, just send someone to find us. Tianyu and I are staying at the county lord's mansion these days. Your home has been occupied by us."
She laughed, "I wish you could occupy it every day, so that my county lord's mansion can be more lively. Go quickly--" She gently pushed a few people, "Go back quickly after finishing your clothes. Wear more clothes when you are running around outside, and be careful not to catch a cold."
The few of them didn't stay for long, Shou Wangchuan led the soldiers to take away the clothes. Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianming turned back to continue eating. After a few bites, she remembered something, so she leaned forward and whispered to Xuan Tianming: "There are eggs in Qiankun's sleeves, which are inexhaustible. Send a few people to guard the tent outside, and no one can be allowed in. I will take the eggs from the tent, and you personally deliver them to the outside of the curtain, and then have the soldiers take them to Tiange to cook. When they are cooked, give them to the refugees, one for each person, and one more for children and the elderly."
Xuan Tianming was somewhat stunned. "There are more than 10,000 refugees outside. Can you take out so many eggs?"
Feng Yuheng blinked, a cunning look on his face, "Yes! Of course! Not only the eggs, but also the water used to cook porridge these days, do you really think it was drawn from the well next door? Do you really think what you drank was well water?"
Xuan Tianming was stunned again, and then he remembered that when they were refining steel in Xutian Cave, she also took out bottles of what was called... Oh, purified water. She also took out purified water, "Did you cook with purified water these days?" He was a little nervous: "Cooking requires a lot of water, and there are so many people who need to eat. How did you move it out? Are you tired? Have you been discovered?"
Feng Yuheng shook his arm and said with a smile, "No, I'm not tired. What I took out was not pure water. I just asked someone to bring in a few empty buckets, and then connected a leather tube to the sleeve of Qiankun, and connected the tap water directly to the faucet. It's raining so hard outside, the water in the well is not drinkable at all. These days, I gave everyone water to drink from the well. It's just that I can't take care of the refugees' daily drinking water, and those bottles can't really be taken out for so many people to drink."
Xuan Tianming didn't quite understand what a faucet was, let alone the meaning of tap water, but he had a strong understanding ability and could understand that Feng Yuheng used a pipe to draw clean water from Qiankun sleeves, put it into buckets, and then the soldiers carried it out. He was relieved that his wife was not tired.
He finished the last bite of rice, stood up and asked the servants to clear away the bowls and chopsticks, then said: "Okay, then let's go out and get the eggs."
So on this day, all the diagnosis and treatment work was handed over to the ghost doctor Song Kang. She started to take eggs from the sleeping tent, and took a few to Xuan Tiange to cook. At first, the progress was a bit slow, but later, the more eggs were cooked, the faster she took them. Xuan Tianming was willing to be a porter, transporting them out one by one.
It took a whole day to collect more than 10,000 eggs. When the people outside said enough was enough, Feng Yuheng felt that his wrist was about to break.
Xuan Tianming came over to help her rub her wrist, but he was actually exhausted after transporting eggs for a whole day. But both of them were very happy. Feng Yuheng said, "I still have some candy here. It's easier to get it, and there's no need to cook it. I'll give the refugees candy tomorrow, and at least it'll help them replenish their energy."
Xuan Tianming stared at her without saying a word for a long time. He just held her wrists with both hands and rubbed them again and again. But gradually, no one knew who took the initiative first, but their foreheads touched each other.
Feng Yuheng giggled and said, "Xuan Tianming, your legs are shaking."
He said, "Nonsense, walking back and forth non-stop for a whole day, try it, it is definitely more tiring than leading soldiers to the battlefield." Having said that, he still rubbed her head and said, "I'm fine, it's nothing for a grown man to be tired, but you've worked hard. Hengheng, I don't want to ask you what's going on with your hidden world, but this matter is between you and me, and you must not let a third person know, otherwise, there will definitely be more people who want you than those who want Xingang."
How could she not understand this logic, so she nodded quickly, "Don't worry, heaven and earth know, you know, I know, and even Seventh Brother, I won't let him know."
When Xuan Tianhua was mentioned, the person in front of him was suddenly stunned for a moment, then he sighed lightly and said nothing more.
Feng Yuheng knew what he meant, and did not explain much, but just said to him: "Seventh brother is righteous, I am also grateful, that's all."
He laughed, "I have never cared about this. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't be the Seventh Brother. If there is anyone in this world who I can confide in besides you, it's only him, Xuan Tianhua." After saying that, he took the initiative to change the subject and no longer dwelled on it. He told Feng Yuheng, "Regarding these eggs, I have already told the outside world that they were sent by the secret guards. You don't have to worry."
"Yes." She nodded, then stood up. "I haven't been to the clinic for a day. I have to go check it out."
Xuan Tianming frowned: "I was busy picking eggs for others and didn't even have dinner myself."
Just as he was about to take his wife to dinner, he heard footsteps outside hurriedly approaching the tent, and then Huang Quan's voice came - "Miss, come to the examination tent quickly!"
