"Sir, there are refugees on the mountain!"

A soldier was the first to notice someone on the mountain trying to stop the bandits. Only when he saw it did he realize that it was a large group of refugees.

"Okay, unite the people immediately and catch the bandits!"

The bandit leader and a dozen people could not go up the mountain or go back. Seeing the officers and soldiers approaching, he could only lead the remaining people to put down their weapons and kneel down to beg for mercy, "Sir, have mercy on me, my lord, have mercy!"

"Sir, you guys were once ordinary people, but you became bandits when you couldn't survive any longer. Sir, please spare us!"

"Sir, please spare my life!"

These bandits usually only know how to bully ordinary people who have no power to restrain themselves. Who would have thought that they would still have this day? They have been so scared that they knelt down and begged for mercy. They just wanted to save their lives.

Wen Xi on the mountain naturally heard the conversation at the bottom of the mountain, and then he put down his worries. It seemed that this was a team to suppress bandits, and they could be saved!

The villagers also became excited, "Great, great, we are saved!"

Under everyone's gaze, a slender and tough young man rode forward on a horse, staring condescendingly at the bandits who were kneeling in fear and begging for mercy, with cold eyes, "Although you all became bandits because of helplessness, but

You have harmed innocent people for your own selfish desires, which is an unforgivable crime!"

As soon as the man finished speaking, the officers and soldiers behind him raised their bows and arrows. When his gesture fell, all the bows and arrows struck at the bandits.

Within a few moments, all the bandits in the field were killed.

Seeing that all the bandits were killed, the village chief was shocked. Just as he was having complex thoughts, he heard someone shouting from below, "Are these people on the mountain fleeing from famine?"

Someone couldn't control their excitement and shouted, "Sir, save us, we are all fleeing from famine!"

The people on the mountain followed the village chief down the mountain and came to a group of officers and soldiers. One officer and soldier stepped back and introduced, "This is Mr. Qi who was sent by the Holy Emperor to provide disaster relief. You are so lucky!"

When everyone heard that it was actually a gentleman sent by the imperial court to provide disaster relief, they immediately knelt down and cried excitedly, "Greetings to Mr. Qi, thank you for your life-saving grace!"

Mr. Qi looked to be in his thirties, with a tall and tall figure. Looking at these poor people, his heart suddenly felt mixed.

"Okay, everyone, get up. The bandits here have been hanged. You are all safe. Now the gate of the county town has been opened. You can quickly enter the city and settle down!"

The village chief was stunned when he heard the news, and his eyes were full of excitement. They were all forced to find another place because of the high cost of entering the city. They didn't expect that they could finally enter the city after going through this. It was really a bright future.

Another village!

"Thank you, sir!"

"Okay, hurry up and pack your things and go into the city!"

"Thank you, sir!"

Everyone thanked him in unison, their voices becoming more and more excited.

Xiang Jiuling took several children and others and hid in the mountain. They didn't know what happened down the mountain. When they saw Wen Xi coming back, they immediately went up to greet him.

"how's it going!"

"The bandits at the bottom of the mountain have been strangled by the officers and soldiers. Let's pack up and go to the city!"

Hearing the news brought by Wen Xiyun Danfengqing, Xiang Jiuling couldn't help but be startled, but she also knew that now was not the time to ask questions, so she quickly pulled the three children to follow.

"Dabao, grab your things quickly and let's go!"

Only then did Dabao react and quickly picked up the baggage and led Erbao, "Okay, mother!"

Everyone got the news that they could enter the city for free, and immediately started to pack their things excitedly. The remaining people gathered in one place and prepared to return the same way.

However, we also suffered heavy losses tonight. Many people were destroyed by bandits, and some disappeared in a hurry. Today, only 60% of the people are left.

After packing up their things and going down the mountain, everyone found an open place to rest. At dawn the next day, everyone woke up early, made a simple meal and then started on their way again.

That afternoon, everyone returned to the gate of the county town. By this time, there was already a long queue at the gate. It was much better than the crowded and chaotic scene before.

After waiting in line for almost two hours, we finally arrived at Xiang Jiuling's family. There were still people registering at the city gate, and they were assigned and settled based on population and household registration.

After entering the city gate, everyone could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The area near the city gate used to be the busiest, but now there is nothing as far as the eye can see. The doors and windows of the shops are also closed, and the whole street is in a state of depression.

The county town was in chaos. Even after entering the city, everyone could not find a place to stay. Fortunately, the village chief found a suitable place to live in the nearest town to the county town by looking for people from the same village.

Xiang Jiuling carefully observed the situation here. Although it was not as prosperous and crowded as the county town, the surrounding environment was good, with mountains, water, and mostly flat land. It was a good place for survival.

Looking at the gentle slopes and a few dilapidated houses in front of them, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, even though the living area was so simple.

The village chief suddenly burst into tears, "We finally have a place to stay. Let's pack up and settle down first. Our lives will definitely get better and better in the future."

With the village chief's words of encouragement, everyone seemed to have found a backbone. The naughty child had already run to the clear and shallow stream and shouted, "Dad, Mom, there are fish in the river, and there are many small fish."

!”

When the other children heard the shouting, they ran over happily, rolled up their sleeves and started to grab them, splashing water all over themselves.

"You little kid, don't get wet. What will you do if you catch a cold later?"

The woman shouted quickly, but her voice was obviously more happy than angry.

The people watching around couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, let's do whatever we have to do. Let's build a village here. As long as we work together, we can all live a good life!"

"Yes, we have already come here after being so tired and suffering on the road to escape. We are just starting from scratch. What are we afraid of!"

"I'm going to chop wood!"

"I'll fetch water!"

Everyone has escaped from famine all the way and has gone through so many hardships and hardships, and they already have deep feelings. At this time, they encourage and comfort each other.

"I think this land is not bad. The soil quality is better than the soil we used before. If we mine it, we will definitely be able to harvest a lot of food!"

"Yeah, it's a pity that we don't have seeds now, this..."

Xiang Jiuling, who was on the side, smiled when he heard this and said proactively, "Let's settle down first. We'll figure out a solution for the seeds later. Anyway, everything will be there!"

She had space at hand, and it was not a matter of minutes to find the seeds. But seeing that the cold wave was coming, she had to find a place to live first before talking about anything else.

"Yes, let's hurry up and get settled!"
