Chapter 1180: The Romantic Girl Paired with Farming in the Republic of China (31)

The character of a prodigal son who grew up pampered by a wealthy family in the south, Xu·Yin hoards goods and buys all the way.

 Once again, I am glad that information is underdeveloped in this era. In future generations, her pretentious operation will be on the hot search every minute.

 In addition, after she ended a city's "robbing the rich and giving to the poor", she escaped from her shell and disguised herself as an inconspicuous person who was completely opposite to her character image and sneaked out of the city, causing the gangsters who wanted to rob the wealth to follow her until they were half confused and doubting her life: Where are the people? Can it fly?

Xu Yin not only bought agricultural and sideline products, but also rescued people along the way. She visited the dungeons and sky prisons in every city.

 In addition, we also went to orphanages in each city to donate money and materials.

However, according to her observation, not every orphanage is good. Some are charitable on the surface but engage in some dirty business secretly.

At this time, Xu Yin would dress in black and carry a long sword, disguised as a knight-errant, and perform chivalrous acts.

 So much so that even before she returned to Haicheng, there was a limerick about her among the people: The knight in black has great strength, and the sword unsheathed can cut iron like clay.

The official wanted notice at the city gate has another portrait of "her": a bearded man with a sword in hand and well-developed chest muscles.

There are several other wanted posters. One is for a thief from an ammunition depot in the Ordnance Factory of the Three Eastern Provinces. I probably haven’t seen the thief in person, so I don’t know what the thief looks like, so I drew a masked thief. His appearance was that of a masked thief; the last wanted picture was of a suspect who had robbed serious criminals from various prisons. He had been photographed by one of the guards. The portrait showed a handsome and elegant young man.

 Well, it’s all her!

Xu Yin silently moved her eyes away, a little embarrassed.

 Even she herself didn’t know that she had developed so many identities without knowing it.

 With three more pictures, can I summon the dragon?

Fortunately, she was very careful every time. She changed her outfit after finishing a job, and carefully put away the clothes, hats and even face masks she had worn, so that at least she would not use them a second time in this world.

 So even if the guards saw her face, they would never be able to find her through a city-wide search.

Sure enough, the military man who was guarding the door of the train station for interrogation saw that she looked like a weak young master, casually glanced at the ID, and waved her in.

 At the last stop back to Haicheng, she did not want to strain her legs and chose to take the train. After all, when I arrived at Haicheng Railway Station, I had to change back into Xu Jinjin's clothes before leaving the station.

 “Sir! You are back!”

Flirting up his long robe, he stepped into the pharmacy and was greeted excitedly by Feng Lu.

 “Yeah, I’m back. How is everyone?”

"We are still the same as before, but sir, you have lost a lot of weight. It has been a hard journey! When the medicinal materials arrive, I will lead Xiaolu and others to bring them back."

 Xu Yin: “…”

Oh yes!

The medicinal ingredients she was pretending to be were not ready yet.

“No rush, it has been raining in the south recently, and the quality of the medicinal materials is not very good. I don’t want the existing goods. I have ordered them for the second half of the year, and they will be shipped directly by rail.”

"It's been raining in the south too? We've had a lot of rain here recently. I wonder if there will be a flood. It would be bad if there was a flood. The terrain in the city is not high." Feng Lu initiated Xu Yin's topic. worry.

Xu Yin took the opportunity to go back to her lounge: "I'm going to take a break. I'm exhausted after catching the train all the way. I'll go to the pharmaceutical factory in the afternoon."

 “Okay, I won’t let anyone bother you.”

 Xu Yin returned to Yaoshi'an from the tunnel.

This time we walked through the tunnel entrance outside the door of Shanjiao Nunnery. When the door of the nunnery was opened, the little nun who was sweeping the house jumped up with joy: "The abbot is back!"

 She was away for twelve whole days this time, which can be said to be the longest time.

When everyone heard that the host was back, they put down their work, dusted off their clothes and came over happily to greet him. Xu Yin: "If I'm not here, no one will make trouble, right?"

 “Reply to the host, everything is fine in the nunnery.”

"That's good."

 Xu Yin was actually quite worried because she was away from home. She was afraid that the military master who came back to check the situation might come to bully the little nun while she was away.

"Come on, let me try your skills. Have you missed your morning workout these days?"

Xu Yin accompanied them through a few tricks and found that everyone had made great progress. Even Sister Zhou, who had not been very obedient to her and obeyed her discipline before, has become more impressive. It seems that everyone has not been idle during this period.

 The greater the progress, the stronger the ability to protect oneself.

When Xu Yin was happy, she opened her bags and distributed to everyone the specialties of the neighboring city, such as plain cake, cloud cake, sesame candy, and Longjing tea. Everyone had a share.

The little nuns are so happy with just a few kinds of food, it’s so easy to coax them!

 After sitting down, Qingyuan and Qingchen asked her to do an accounting with their respective ledgers.

Xu Yin looked through the account books and asked about the current situation in the nunnery. She felt relieved after making sure that everything was fine.

“Host, there has been a lot of rain this year, so we don’t feel much of it on the mountain. I heard that some villages down the mountain have been flooded. I’m afraid the price of rice will increase next year. Should we stock up on some in advance?”

Although they have opened land and planted grain in the back mountains, they only grow coarse grains such as corn, sorghum, and sweet potatoes. Rice is inconvenient to grow because it requires water storage, so they still go to the city regularly to buy rice.

"Are any villages flooded?" Xu Yin raised her head and asked with a frown, "Is it serious?"

"I can't say it's serious. The one that was flooded was the lowest-lying Guman Village. When Qinghan went to perform rituals for the people in Fuyuan Village, he heard them saying that there had been several heavy rains recently, and the water in the river in Guman Village was overflowing. On the bank, the accumulated water in the fields could not be drained out, so they were flooded. Fortunately, it started to clear up the day before yesterday, and the water level in the river dropped back, so the accumulated water in the fields was drained out. But the harvest will be affected to some extent. So I’m worried that food prices will rise next year.”

Xu Yin agreed: “It’s right to prepare for a rainy day, so let’s stock up on some.”

 She knew that there was a major flood in the history of the Republic of China, but not this year.

However, Qingchen’s precautionary measures reminded her.

 The severe flood five or six years later was a natural disaster, but it was not entirely without human factors.

The embankment is in disrepair, and spring repairs and summer prevention are seriously neglected. The annual funds for management of the embankment are divided up by the superiors, and very little is allocated to the lower levels. The part allocated is not really used for water conservancy.

Furthermore, after the floods, the authorities turned a blind eye to the poor people's requests for help and only focused on collecting money and running away.

 Xu Yin felt that it was necessary to do something to prepare for the disaster that was bound to come.

She went back to her room to rest, then went back to the pharmacy, called Feng Lu to make some arrangements, and then went straight to the pharmacy outside the city.

Shen Xijin heard that she was back, took off her work gloves and overalls, and came to her office.

 “When did you come back?” He knocked on the door before going in.

“I got off the train this morning, come in and sit down.” Xu Yin made a pot of tea and poured him a cup, “Has anyone come to see you recently?”

Shen Xijin chuckled softly: "I guessed it was you. Lao Wu and the others told me that they were rescued just after they were arrested before being interrogated. Thank you very much!"

 He offered tea instead of wine to Xu Yin.

Xu Yin touched her nose and was embarrassed to say that she was the culprit.
