Chapter 243 Self-help
Chapter 243 Self-help
Gu Siyuan couldn't find anything wrong with his feelings or reasons, so the members of the four major families could only break their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs, and endured it.
"Thank you to several families for your generous donation and to express your gratitude to the suffering people."
"Your Highness, you are welcome. These are what we should do. When the country is in trouble, everyone is responsible."
"Yes, yes, we can't bear to watch the victims suffer."
Gu Siyuan listened to their unintentional words and sneered in his heart.
However, with the food provided by this group of people, Gu Siyuan made a rough calculation and found that if he lived frugally, he could survive for five or six days. He didn't know who his father had sent to provide relief.
Now, we can only take one step at a time.
"how?"
Xu Shao suddenly came to Gu Siyuan the day before yesterday and said that the rain might stop in the next two days.
The food can last for two days. If we don't go down the mountain and the rain doesn't stop, we will have to risk the risk and rain to hunt on this mountain.
Xu Shao stretched out a finger confidently, "Prince, please rest assured. I will guarantee with my life that the rain will definitely stop tomorrow."
Xu Shao still had some abilities. Gu Siyuan believed his words and began to make plans to go down the mountain.
The next day, the sun shone into the cave, and the first person to wake up was ecstatic. Finally, it was no longer rainy and dark clouds blocked the sun.
He hurriedly woke up the people in the cave, and everyone ran towards the outside of the cave together.
The sun's rays are not strong, and they shine warmly on people's bodies.
Gu Siyuan was also bathed in the sunshine, and the moisture on his clothes seemed to gradually dissipate over the past few days.
Someone looked down the mountain and said, "The flood, the flood seems to have receded a little!"
-
"Your Highness, it's almost half an hour away."
Gu Siyi, who was on horseback, glanced at Xu County from a distance. He had already thought in his mind that the victims were grateful for the arrival of the relief team, which was a good time to win people's hearts.
Gu Siyi thought about countless scenarios. The victims were displaced, hungry and emaciated. Seeing his team was like seeing the savior.
But the scene in front of him completely exceeded Gu Siyi's expectations.
There were no corpses everywhere, and the traces of houses being washed away by floods would be difficult to erase for a while, but there was no sorrow on the faces of the people, instead they were all enthusiastic.
The men were shouting and carrying beech wood, and the women also set up a large iron pot outside as usual, and methodically processed the wild vegetables and mushrooms picked from the mountains.
Gu Siyi took a closer look and saw that what was cooking in the iron pot was porridge with distinct grains of rice.
"You are?"
Someone noticed the procession.
Gu Siyi's entourage quickly replied: "We are sent by the imperial court to provide disaster relief. Why don't we pay our respects to the third prince soon!"
"Third Prince?" A hint of awe flashed in the eyes of the man who heard the name of the Third Prince. Gu Siyi smiled contemptuously. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the man's expression suddenly change.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince! Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the disaster relief team is here!"
The man ran towards the side with an excited look on his face, his expression completely opposite to the one just now.
Gu Siyi also turned his head and looked over, their eyes met. Gu Siyuan was quite surprised. He did not expect that the person leading the relief team was Gu Siyi.
"Brother Imperial." The smile on Gu Siyi's face was still there, but there was a little more meaning in his eyes.
"The emperor's brother traveled thousands of miles to get to Xu County. It was a hard journey."
After exchanging greetings of "brothers, friends and brothers," Gu Siyi looked at the orderly scene in front of him. The relief team had been arranged by Gu Siyuan.
Go up the mountain and cut down trees, knock down old houses...
Gu Siyi, on the other hand, lost control and watched helplessly as Gu Siyuan arranged for everyone he brought.
Not only that, Gu Siyuan even said deliberately, "Thanks to the emperor's brother for arriving in time and bringing a lot of food."
The original village was washed away by the flood and soaked in the flood for several days. The foundation was probably unstable and the brick walls were damaged. Gu Siyuan led the people to rebuild their homes. After two days of work, they had already begun to see the rules. The village was demolished. Most of them have to be rebuilt everywhere.
Gu Siyi came here at this time and wanted to save people from the fire and water. It was simply out of imagination. Even the icing on the cake was Gu Siyuan's credit.
Thinking of this, it was difficult to maintain the smile on his face.
Didn't he make Gu Siyuan's wedding dress in vain?It is extremely ridiculous to put all your efforts into making a wedding dress for your enemy!
Gu Siyi was scratching his heart and lungs, but Gu Siyuan saw everything with his eyes and said nothing.
The food brought by Gu Siyi was indeed a timely rain.
It's a pity that Gu Siyuan led the victims to eat, live and suffer together a few days ago. It's not like Gu Siyi bringing carts of food can replace His Highness the Crown Prince's status among the people.
"When my father heard about the disaster in Xu County, he was very concerned and sent me to come to provide relief. How is your life going, brother?"
"Thanks to the help of noble people, the flood disaster was predicted in advance. I went up the mountain with the victims. With the blessing of the gods, I escaped the disaster."
Gu Siyi smiled but said, "Brother Huang is far-sighted and worthy of my father's trust. Before leaving, my father also told me to discuss things with him more when I encounter any problems. The two brothers are of the same mind."
"Thank you very much for your concern, Father. My brother traveled thousands of miles to come here and must have suffered a lot."
Gu Siyuan turned sideways to reveal the tent behind him, "The conditions here are simple. I feel sorry for the emperor to rest in the tent for a while. He is tired from traveling and traveling. There is a disaster relief team, so the emperor does not have to worry."
