Chapter 79 The worst case scenario is to open up wasteland yourself
"Sir, did you save me?"
The girl seemed to be blind. Although Tao Xi was squatting in front of her, she caught a glimpse of Jian Shiming standing behind Tao Xi.
Jian Shiming's appearance is so outstanding that he can always steal other people's attention immediately.
But his face turned cold and his voice was cold: "My wife saved you."
He felt a little disgusted by people who couldn't even tell the difference between their saviors.
Only then did the little girl's eyes fall on Tao Xi, and she coughed awkwardly.
"Thank you for saving me."
Well, that look seems a little disappointed.
Tao Xi didn't want to waste time and said directly: "We can enter the city just ahead. What is going on with you and your family?"
"Mom and Dad!"
After being reminded by Tao Xi, the little girl remembered that her parents had also hanged themselves. She quickly got up and knelt in front of her parents.
"There is no way to enter the city from the front. We wanted to enter the city, but we were driven away by the soldiers in the city.
Those arrogant ones were beaten half to death. My parents said that the court had given up on us refugees and we couldn’t survive anymore. Our whole family should just die together!"
As she spoke, she lay down next to her parents and cried loudly. She didn't want to die, she really didn't want to die.
So I didn't fasten my belt tightly, so I survived by luck.
"How can this be done!"
When Li Zheng heard this, it was like a bolt from the blue. Everyone was still waiting for the court's arrangements, but it turned out that they were not accepted as refugees.
Jian Shiming pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe the granaries around here are empty, and they can't afford to feed so many refugees like us.
If they accept us blindly, they may even kill their local people, so they are so determined."
"What about us refugees? Will no one care about us?"
Li Zheng had an ugly expression, and the villagers of Taomu Village who heard this were like eggplants beaten by frost.
"I can't live anymore, I really can't live this time!"
"This is really going to kill us, wuwuwu..."
"I thought we would see hope soon, but we didn't expect it to be the same. We were given up."
"..."
A group of people cried and cried, and everyone sat on the ground and sighed. Some cried violently, and some had empty eyes with no hope.
This scene was so sad that it made Tao Xi's eyes sore. They... seemed to be deflated in an instant.
The girl Chunhua who had just been rescued was also crying, kneeling in front of her parents and crying.
Li Zheng was exhausted mentally and physically by these cries. He didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so he could only place his hope on Jian Shiming.
"Brother Ming, what are we going to do? We can't really let the people of Taomu Village be exterminated."
Jian Shiming raised his eyes and looked over. He saw two to three hundred people sitting on the ground crying bitterly. He suddenly took the gong in Li Zheng's hand and struck it violently.
The loud sound penetrated into everyone's ears, and everyone looked over.
Jian Shiming struck the gong as he walked, and Tao Xi followed him, understanding that he wanted to speak.
After returning to his oxcart, Jian Shiming stood on the oxcart and said loudly:
"Are you really so willing to accept your fate?"
"What's the fear of death? But folks, look at the children in your arms. They are still so young and have not even married or had children.
Look at the relatives around you, they are all trying so hard to live. We left our homes and went through a lot of hardships. Are you willing to just give up like this?"
"If we give up, will we be worthy of the loved ones we have lost along the way?"
"..."
Tao Xi:……
As expected of the male protagonist, she was moved by these words.
He was dressed in coarse linen clothes, but it could not hide the aura of his body. An outstanding person would be outstanding even if he wore a sack.
Sure enough, as soon as Jian Shiming finished speaking, the expressions of everyone who had been crying just now changed.
"That's right, my baby hasn't even gotten married yet. It's not worth dying like this!"
"My mother died of starvation just to save us some food. She can't die in vain!"
"I want to live, I don't want to die!"
"..."
"Yes, we all want to live. If this city doesn't accept us, we will go to the next one. If the next city doesn't accept us, we will open up wasteland ourselves!
As long as we have the belief to live, we will definitely be able to defeat this damn drought!"
Jian Shiming spoke with so much passion that everyone stood up from the ground and echoed loudly.
"Brother Ming is right, in the worst case we can open up wasteland ourselves!"
"If the court doesn't save us, we will save ourselves!"
"Stay alive, stay alive!"
"..."
The power of two to three hundred people working together is great, and everyone's eyes are burning with hope.
Tao Xi looked at the man in front of him with admiration, who was not tall and even a little frail. His black hair was blown up by the wind, revealing a face that confuses all living beings.
He is undoubtedly charming. Not to mention Tao Xi, the unmarried girls in Taomu Village are once again fascinated by Jian Shiming.
"Brother Ming, that's great. Fortunately, you are here, otherwise the whole village would not know what would happen today."
Li Zheng gave Jian Shiming a thumbs up. If Jian Shiming hadn't responded promptly, more people might have committed suicide.
Jian Shiming raised his lips slightly, "Li Zheng, I always believe that my destiny is up to me and not God.
No matter what the court does to us, we must work hard to survive."
"Yes, try to live!"
Li Zheng nodded and said loudly to everyone: "Let's go to the city tower first. If it doesn't work, we'll go to the next town to have a look."
"good."
"To be honest, as long as we work together, we can survive."
"Walk!"
"..."
Everyone has regained their fighting spirit. No matter how miserable it is, it can't be as miserable as when we encountered the locusts.
They survived by walking on the bones, but they could not give up their lives easily.
Everyone was about to set off again, but Chunhua, who had been rescued, quickly chased after her.
"Li Zheng, what about me? Can you take me with you?"
Her eyes were swollen from crying, but her peripheral vision fell on Jian Shiming, and there seemed to be strange emotions in them.
Li Zheng sighed, knowing that she was pitiful, so he could only say:
"It's okay to take you with me, but you also know that life is difficult for everyone these days.
You have to find food and drink by yourself, we are just hanging out together, if you can find a place to stay, I will help you find the official to prove that you are not a refugee."
"Okay, thank you Lizheng."
Chunhua quickly picked up her luggage, not even caring about the bodies of her parents, and trotted towards Jian Shiming.
"Sir, if I could have met you earlier, my parents would have survived."
"Life is in your own hands."
Jian Shiming glanced at her indifferently, no longer looking at her, but sitting on the bullock cart.
The team was ready to set off, and Chunhong followed Tao Xi and their ox cart step by step.
His eyes were also staring straight at Jian Shiming, as if he was looking at some rare treasure.
Jian Shiming was still very calm even after being stared at like this.
On the contrary, Tao Xi felt a little unhappy for no reason. She was obviously the one who saved people, but this girl kept staring at Jian Shiming.
What a disaster!
