Madam, She Has a Tender Heart

Chapter 138: People’s Will

Because most of the children had convulsions, fevers, and illnesses, the team stopped and did not break camp that day. read

Yesterday there was a fierce battle, and some peasants who had never held a weapon were forced into battle, and they were still frightened and uneasy. Huang Shenzhi then decided that the team would rest in place for a day. And personally took people to buy medicine near Fuzhou.

Huang Shenzhi's actions made his image taller in the team. When he led a team to buy medicine, many people behind him knelt down and kowtowed to him to thank him.

Su Qingyu had medicine in her system, but it was useless for several children. She had no choice but to work with Su's mother and others to physically cool down the children. Then he went to Huang Han and bought a can of soju at a high price and wiped the bodies of several children.

Qingyang and Jin Hai's symptoms were relatively mild. They ate a bowl of porridge at noon and could sit up on their own in the afternoon. Although it is still wilting, the fever is no longer there.

Only Qingxing and Yaya had severe fever.

But Qingxing was still awake, but Yaya was foaming at the mouth and even talking nonsense at one point. Su Qingliu almost fainted from crying.

Cui Mangzhong only had this kind of flesh and blood left in the world, and she couldn't protect him. She felt sorry for the father of the child who died on the battlefield without any bones left.

While crying, I said sorry words...

It made Su's mother, aunt and others shed tears.

Su Qingyao's eyes also felt sore. Seeing that Su Qingliu could no longer hold the child, she took it and wiped Yaya's body, cooling her over and over again.

These days adults may not survive, and even more children die. Su Qingnao saw that the little Yaya had never been able to walk and had grown to such a big size. Su Qingliu took her to Fengting Town, and Yaya slept between her and Su Qingliu.

Such a well-behaved and sensible child is now lying on the ground without any reaction. After Lu Xiaobao was born, little Yaya had already consciously assumed the responsibility of a sister and would help adults take care of Xiaobao.

Among the children, only Xiaobao was still alive and kicking. Seeing the adults surrounding Yaya, they also squeezed in.

Seeing that the little sister had her eyes closed and didn't react at all to his shaking, he became anxious and shook his sister a few more times. When he saw that her sister didn't get up to play with him, he howled with a "Wow...".

After hearing this, the people sleeping nearby with the Su family thought that the children couldn't bear it anymore and had left. They all looked sad and ran over to comfort Su Qingliu, Su's mother and others.

The process continued until Huang Shenzhi came back with the medicine.

After drinking two large bowls of bitter concoction, Yaya's fever subsided. Su Qingliu was so happy that she ran to Huang Shenzhi and kowtowed several times.

The children with fever in the camp had their fevers reduced after drinking medicine. Huang Shenzhi received countless thanks for a while.

Qingxing's fever also subsided, and by evening she could hold a bowl and eat by herself, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Su Qingyu thought for a while, then took a small bag of dried fruits and went to thank Huang Shen.

Huang Shenzhi took it, pinched a piece of dried fruit and threw it into his mouth. He chewed it a few times and raised his eyebrows: "It's delicious. Did you make it yourself?"

Su Qingyu nodded.

"Are there any dried vegetables? They are dehydrated and oily. I was lucky enough to eat them once before."

Su Qingyu nodded again: "There are some more, I will bring them to the general later." She did not say that the ones he had eaten before might have been made by her family.

Huang Shenzhi did not refuse.

He glanced at her, pinched a few slices out of the bag, and threw them all into his mouth, looking like he was enjoying it: "This is good to eat on the march."

After saying that, Su Qingyu didn't say anything. He chewed a few times and suddenly said: "Tell me, today I gave the team a day's rest and personally took people to buy medicine for the children of the soldiers below. Did I do a good job?"

Su Qingyu nodded: "It will be very useful for you to regain people's hearts. Maybe many people will come to you in the future because of this."

There was a flash of light in Huang Shenzhi's eyes.

The men kept grabbing into the bag, grabbing two or three pieces each time, and threw them into their mouths, saying: "But Brother Clan thinks that I am acting on impulse, and for the sake of some old, weak, women and children, I have delayed the time for the large army to rendezvous. Delay military aircraft."

The voice was very low, I didn't know whether it was for Su Qingyu or for myself.

Su Qingyu didn't know how to react when she saw him tilting her head: "So you think I'm too indecisive to succeed?"

Su Qingyu was stunned.

Huang Shenzhi felt that he was asking a woman such a question, and he felt that he might be a little dizzy. Maybe he was scolded by his clan brother in public today, so he was a little irritated.

Unexpectedly, I heard Su Qingyu whisper: "I have heard a saying that people can carry a boat or capsize it. I have also heard a saying that he who wins the hearts of the people can win the world. Why do you think Emperor Qi was able to seize it? Capital?"

Huang Shenzhi was chewing the dried fruit in his mouth, and at the same time he was chewing on Su Qingyu's words. Why could a private salt dealer from Wanghu capture Chang'an?

Of course, Emperor Shuo indulged in pleasure, ignored government affairs, and became politically corrupt, which led to the eunuchs taking over power. The locust plague in the north did not do anything, and the people in the north were in dire straits.

Huang Shenzhi's mind was spinning rapidly. If Emperor Fanshuo had done anything, he was still working as his pig butcher in the countryside. He killed two or three pigs every morning and sold them all at noon. After counting the money, he would kill all the pigs in the afternoon. I can sleep well. Not happy.

After Su Qingyu finished asking, many lights and shadows flashed through her mind.

She had learned history well since she was a child. Ever since she could read, she had read history books as extracurricular books and read a lot of official and unofficial history. The current dynasty is very similar to a period of history she learned before.

The emperor was also incompetent and imposed heavy taxes, which led to the people's miserable life. In the end, peasants in various places revolted and overthrew the regime. Since then, the feudal states were divided and wars continued. When another dynasty unified, it lasted for 53 years. It was a period of great chaos and destruction. The Central Plains regime changed emperors more frequently than the people changed their underwear.

Before the people could remember who the emperor on the throne was, the new emperor ascended the throne. The flags on the top of the city walls of the capital were frequently changed. In 53 years, 14 emperors were replaced. The average term of office was four years. Now the village party secretary still serves a term of five years.

That was a bloody history, a history of gangsters fighting each other, a history of distorted human nature and moral loss. Ministers could kill the emperor if they were unhappy, sons could kill their fathers if they were unhappy, and brothers could kill their brothers if they were unhappy. The old man on the throne asked his daughters-in-law to take turns to serve him in bed, and the husband of the one who served the best would be made the prince.

The Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues were destroyed.

Su Qing'an often thought of that history during this period. She knew that this was the Shuo Dynasty, and the one who wrote the poem "Chrysanthemums after Failure" was called Wang Hu.

But she had heard a saying that history would not repeat itself, but would be surprisingly similar. These days, she has been wondering where the pure land is. On the way south, she saw many poor people hiding from the war, and the war in the heartland of the Central Plains had spread to the south.

Yesterday, she even witnessed a fight for heads. So what will happen to her family next? Will they fight for territory next? Will they have to experience countless bloody fights?

The children foamed at the mouth after only seeing it once. In the future, can she lead them to find a piece of pure land to live well and let them grow up safely?

"Do you think Wang Hu has won the hearts of the people?" Huang Shenzhi turned his head and looked at Su Qing'an.

Su Qing'an came back to her senses from a pile of confusion, looked at him, and said lightly: "At least he is now."

Huang Shenzhi turned his head and pinched a piece of dried fruit from the bag, but did not throw it into his mouth, and just fell silent.
