After listening to the words of the city defenders, everyone who had originally seen hope suddenly fell to the bottom again.

If the city defenders can describe it as a desolate place, the situation will only get worse.

Now they have moved to a different city and come to a strange place. They have nothing at hand and have to start from scratch. Naturally, they hope to be arranged in a relatively rich place.

At least, there is plenty of arable land, right? The mountains and rivers are good, and the climate is relatively pleasant, right?

Rural people rely on cultivated land, and they don’t know what they mean by desolation.

At this time, several small teams at the gate of the city turned around and left. When Jiang Guoguo passed by, everyone had a gloomy look on their face.

"Hey, we have been escaping from famine all the way. We have left behind all the troubles on the road. We have to buy everything. We thought we could find a relatively better place to settle down, but we didn't expect that this place is also overcrowded."

"Just now, the officer and soldier said that the land in the remaining area is barren and cannot grow any crops. If we go there, wouldn't we be sending ourselves to death?"

"No, it's better to turn back quickly. Even if we don't have enough energy to do that kind of place, we can't do it. The road to open up wasteland for farming is blocked, and we're afraid we'll all starve to death."

The group of people shook their heads and walked farther and farther towards the way they came, without looking back.

Jiang Guoguo and her party also heard the conversations of the refugees who had left and returned, and their hearts suddenly trembled, and they looked at each other privately.

"Mei, they said the land there is barren and our family is waiting to make a living by farming. What should we do?"

Mrs. Jiang was also desperate. She thought that when she came here, she would be able to arrange a place to go and start living a small life. Even if they needed money to buy land for farming, they could still afford it.

But the remaining Zhuangzi was in such a situation, that was the last place they, the mud-legged ones, could not go.

The city defenders seemed to have noticed the situation of Jiang Guoguo and his party. Although there were orders from above, it was best to allow outsiders to settle there and develop the depressed village.

But after all, the soil there is not very good. Whatever you plant, you will die. Your ancestors may have been farmers who made a living by farming for eight generations. It is really difficult for people to go to places like that.

So after thinking about it, the defenders decided to persuade them to turn back.

But before he could speak, Jiang Guoguo raised her little head and asked:

"Uncle, I wonder if anyone is living in the place you mentioned?"

When the city defender suddenly heard the immature child's question, he was stunned for a moment, then swallowed what he wanted to say and said with a smile:

"Of course there are, but there are only two families left."

The more the defenders looked at Jiang Guoguo, the more they felt they were in love with each other. After thinking about it, they patiently said:

"Everyone, in fact, the village is very large. It is backed by a low peak. There are no wild animals in it. When there were no famines in the past, the scenery on the low peak was also very good. You can enclose the land to raise cattle and sheep. The village is not far away.

It’s a pond and its area is okay, but for some reason, the fields in the village are not very good.”

"There were many families in the village, but most of them made a living by farming. Over time, everyone moved away, and only two families were left there. If you really want to go, you can actually do it. That village

It is very close to Phoenix City, and there is a town behind it. You can go to various markets to find work, and you can also support your family."

The city defenders expressed their thoughts, but looking at the faces of Mrs. Jiang and others, it was obvious that they were not very good.

Several elders in the family got together and started discussing, and people of my uncle's generation also got together to make a calculation.

Compared with the sad faces of the older generation, Zizhen and his cousins ​​are quite open-minded, and at the same time there is a bit of yearning on their faces.

They certainly don't want to be poor people for the rest of their lives. If the village is really close to Phoenix City, then wouldn't they be able to go to the city to find work, and maybe one day they will become rich.

After discussing for a long time, everyone did not come up with a specific countermeasure. Seeing that there was only one last way to go, they turned back and continued to escape.

At this time, uncle Lu Baoshan and uncle Lu Baoshui both looked at Jiang Guoguo.

The uncle said:

"How about we let Guoguo make the decision?"

The second uncle nodded repeatedly:

"Brother, I have the same idea. Let's let Guoguo choose, so that everyone doesn't have to worry."

The words of Lu Baoshan and Lu Baoshui were quickly recognized by everyone.

Then everyone turned their attention to Jiang Guoguo.

Jiang Guoguo had actually made a plan in her mind a long time ago, but she still had to respect the ideas of most people in the family, so she didn't express her position for the time being.

Seeing that everyone was waiting for her to make a decision, Jiang Guoguo said immediately:

"If we don't leave, we will go to the village that uncle mentioned and settle down!"

After the decision was made, although the family members had lingering fears, they were still united and firmed up Jiang Guoguo's decision!

When the city defenders saw that this family actually let a five-year-old girl make the decision on such a big matter, they felt a little curious.

He didn't think this family's approach was rash, but he felt that the little girl Jiang Guoguo did seem to be a little different.

So the city defenders volunteered to ask the chief responsible for resettling the refugees to escort them into the village.

The manager was very busy, so he naturally agreed.

A group of people followed the city defenders on the road. As they walked, he said:

"The village is far from the gate of the city. If you take a carriage, you can get there in about a quarter of an hour. It's quite close. Your family has a carriage. It will be very convenient to travel between the village and Phoenix City in the future."

Hearing this, Mrs. Jiang and others showed a bit of relief on their faces.

Let's make peace with what we have come. The conditions of the fields are not good, but the advantage is that it is close to a big city like Phoenix. There will always be a way for their family to make a living.
