Chapter 88 Making Trouble



"My Lord, please don't do that. You can't be so cruel. I followed you secretly because I cared about you too much and missed you too much. Please don't chase me away because I am so infatuated with you. I love you so much now and I can't leave you for even a day..."

Wen Jingchi couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

I never dreamed that this woman could say such shameless words.

If he allowed her to continue, he would become a complete laughing stock in the army.

"Alright, stop talking. I want you to follow me!" Wen Jingchi had no choice but to give in, gritting his teeth.

Chu Weiyue immediately hugged Wen Jingchi’s neck and wanted to give him a big kiss on the face.

Wen Jingchi was startled by her and grabbed her hands: "This is the army, be careful."

After looking around a few times, Chu Weiyue found that many people were secretly laughing at him, so he restrained his behavior.

After following her for a few days, she was already empty-headed, so Wen Jingchi arranged a banquet.

After finishing my satisfying meal, I planned to go to sleep.

But he was stopped by Wen Jingchi, and Shen Mubai also came in from outside.

When they met again, Shen Mubai couldn't help but stepped forward and bowed: "Sister-in-law, we meet again."

His words were tinged with sarcasm, and Wen Jingchi immediately rolled his eyes.

He set his eyes on Chu Weiyue: "You must have a legitimate reputation to stay in the army. From now on, you will follow Shen Mubai to learn medical skills."

Hearing this, Chu Weiyue nodded excitedly in agreement.

"No problem. I will definitely learn from him and learn all his skills. As the saying goes, a disciple who does not surpass his master is not a good disciple."

"That's fine, as long as you study with him at ease."

Wen Jingchi did not want her to excel in her studies, he just wanted to give her a title to appear to be doing nothing but being partial and breaking the law.

Chu Weiyue naturally knew what he was thinking and complained quietly in her heart.

[Who would have the heart to learn medicine when facing such a handsome face like yours every day...]

Shen Mubai happened to hear these words and couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips slightly. The more he thought about it, the more interesting it became.

In the past, he didn't understand why Wen Jingchi was taken advantage of by Chu Weiyue, but now he finally understood the reason.

How many men would not be attracted by such a lovely and interesting woman?

Soon they arrived in the hot northern region and found that it was not only hot but also extremely dry.

The people were almost skinny, with sunken eye sockets and some of their bodies beginning to swell slightly.

Chu Weiyue knew very well that these were all caused by long-term hunger.

This made her wonder why the people here were so thin. It shouldn't be like this.

Last year they had good weather and good harvests, so even if there was a drought this year, they wouldn't be so hungry.

Wen Jingchi didn't know the reason either, so he didn't answer.

When the people saw the army coming towards them in a mighty force, they thought they were being driven away, so they immediately surrounded the army, knelt on the ground and begged bitterly.

"Military officers, please let us go, give us a chance to live, and don't chase us away."

"We have lived here for generations. Please don't let us leave."

"This is our home, we can't leave! We will find a way to survive and not cause trouble for the court. Please don't chase us away."

They knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, as if they had reached the end of their road.

Chu Weiyue couldn't bear it any longer and wanted to get out of the car.

Wen Jingchi immediately grabbed her hand and shook his head gently: "It's better not to go down."

Anything could happen in such a situation, and he didn't want Chu Weiyue to take the risk.

But Chu Weiyue insisted on going, and he had no choice but to follow her.

When the two men came up to the people, the people naturally knew that they must be the leaders. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged for mercy, their voices louder than before.

A child knelt on the ground, trembling with fear.

Chu Weiyue couldn't help but take out a sesame bun that she was carrying and handed it to him.

The child was so frightened that he didn't dare to take it, so I had to force it into his hands.

With such a kind act, the people were not so afraid anymore.

Wen Jingchi's eyes flickered slightly. He had not seen it clearly just now because he was far away, but now looking at these people up close, he could not describe their misery.

"Don't worry, we are not here to drive you away. You can continue to live here."

After hearing his words, the people felt relieved and slowly stood up from the ground.

But they all stood there in silence, like children waiting to be scolded.

Wen Jingchi looked around and found that there was not a single fat person here, all of them were extremely thin.

Some men, who were apparently tall, had become so skinny that only their skeletons were left.

His face was somewhat gloomy, and he asked sternly: "Who is in charge of your northern grain and grass department? You are all so hungry, why don't you provide relief food? The court clearly allocates funds for disaster relief every year to ensure that you have enough food and clothing."

Hearing this, one of the elderly ladies sighed with tears on her face.

"Our grain and grass department did provide relief food, but what's the use of food alone? The key is that there is no water."

"What do you mean? Why is there no water? Don't you have wells, canals or rivers here?"

"Sir, we do have a canal here, but it was bought by the local tyrant Ouyang family for a large sum of money. The Ouyang family has thousands of acres of fertile land, and all the water is used by them. If we want to use water, we have to go to the river to fetch it. The canal is not open to us at all. But how much water is there in this river? It is not enough for so many people like us.

In addition, the drought has already occurred in recent years. Now the river has dried up. Even if we dig a well, we can't find any water. No matter how much we beg, it's useless. The Ouyang family's bastards want us to die."

After hearing this, Chu Weiyue clenched her fists in anger: "The Ouyang family is really not a good thing, they are such a hateful thief."

Seeing how pitiful these people were, Wen Jingchi naturally could not just do nothing, and he immediately ordered his men to line up and prepare to cook porridge for them.

The soldiers carried water from far away and spent an hour steaming buns and cooking a large pot of rice porridge so that the people could have a good meal.

They held broken bowls and lined up in groups on one side waiting for porridge to be distributed, praising the goodness of Wenjing Pond.

At this moment, Ouyang Yu, the young master of the Ouyang family, learned about this, and his face changed instantly.

"What did you say? Someone actually dared to come here to cause trouble. Do you know who that person is?"

"I don't know either. I just know that several of them were there giving porridge to the people, and there was a woman who kept scolding the people in my family."
