The first step to a rich country is to get rich first and then get richer

After capturing a group of refugees, he moved forward and encountered the second and third groups. However, he found that there were more elderly, weak, women and children among these refugees. What was going on?

"My little benefactor, you are the one who saved us."

Someone shouted.

Lan Ning looked towards the voice and saw that the faces of these people looked familiar.

"Have we met?"

"It was you who saved us. It was you who saved us from Mr. Xue's farm. It was because of you that we were able to escape from the days that were worse than death."

These refugees began to explain one by one, and Lan Ning also understood what was going on.

"Didn't I tell you to go back to your old village? Why didn't you go back?"

When they said this, they looked dejected.

"What's the point of going back? There's no food in the fields, and there's no food at home. If I go back, I'll just wait to die.

We don’t have any money, and only by gathering together like this can we beg for some food.”

Lan Ning reacted immediately. She had never thought of this.

Yes, at that time we were only concerned about filling their stomachs with that meal, but we completely forgot where they would get food to survive after they returned.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think it through and made you suffer.

So, you go to Luojia Village in Linchun County first. I will write a letter to inform them in the village first, and you will stay there for a while.

I will arrange your future life when I come back. Have you found your families?"

The family is made up of men who were exploited by Landlord Xue and forced to do all kinds of bad things.

At this point, the expressions of this group of old, weak, women and children became even more desolate.

"No, we don't know where they are. We thought we would see them if we were wandering around like this, but we haven't seen them once in such a long time."

“Okay, I got it, I’ll help you find your family when I’m done.

We have some food here for ourselves, each of you should take some with you and go to Luojia Village as soon as possible."

Lan Ning walked towards the last carriage, which was filled with food for them to eat during their journey.

Those people did not rush to follow him to take it, but all knelt down and kowtowed to her.

"Thank you, my benefactor. We will definitely work like slaves to repay you."

Seeing how humble they were, they were made to kneel down and kowtow for just a little food.

She quickly turned her head away, not wanting them to see her red eyes.

"Okay, stop talking, save time, we are also in a hurry.

Come and get it, some people come and help me."

After receiving the food, the two groups set off towards their respective destinations.

In addition to this group, she met several other groups of people she rescued.

It seems that everyone has encountered such a situation. There are a lot of people, but after all, they are all living lives. They have not done anything wrong, they are just harmed by bad people.

Let's send them all to Luojia Village. She has already written to the village chief and asked him to help arrange accommodation and food for these people in several surrounding villages. She will make arrangements for the next step when she comes back.

The closer to the border, the more refugees there were, and she no longer met the people she had saved.

The refugees here were not like the first group they met. The later ones became crazier and crazier. They had basically lost their minds.

They simply won't listen to reason, all they can think about is food.

Those people didn't dare to walk together, not even family members.

Because hunger has made them ignore everything, it is very likely that they may be talking and laughing together in the last second, and be killed and eaten in the next second.

Looking at these refugees with green eyes, Lan Ning and the others felt sorry for them, but there was nothing they could do. Perhaps ending their lives now would be the best way to prevent tragedy from happening.

Every refugee has more or less a weapon in his hand to protect himself or herself or to hurt others.

These weapons were nothing to Lan Ning and his men, and they were all knocked to the ground in just a few moves.

They struggled and roared, trying to get up from the ground. Being knocked down did not make them want to surrender, but instead made their impetuous emotions even more crazy.

They wanted to eat these people, to swallow them alive or dead.

They opened their extremely smelly mouths and tried to use their yellow and black teeth to bite the hands that were holding down others.

"Ahhh, I'm going to eat you. I'm going to eat you."

These horrible words kept echoing in the air above this chaos.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, please let me go, your hands look so delicious, let me have a taste, they must taste delicious."

Someone begged, but the words of begging were frightening to hear.

"Forget it, let's give them a quick death."

Some people felt compassion, while others just died with their eyes wide open.

"It's still the same. Digging a big hole and burying them will give them a place to go."

I encountered a lot of such things, and they became more and more frequent as time went on.

After experiencing so much pain and becoming numb from killing people, the group finally arrived at the border.

The towering city walls not only blocked the enemies, but also those with ulterior motives.

The soldiers above saw a large group of troops rushing towards them and they just thought it was an enemy attack.

"Light the beacon and beat the drum."

This action was to inform other soldiers that there was an enemy attack.

Mu Zhongting hurriedly took out the imperial edict that had been lying in his arms for two months.

"We are here to deliver food. We have the emperor's decree."

He even waved it in the air, but it was too far away and the people on the city wall couldn't see it clearly.

I only saw them holding something yellow in their hands and shaking it.

I just thought it was a new type of weapon of theirs and it was a provocation to them.

"Draw your bow, ready."

"We are here to deliver food, not enemies."

Thinking that they didn't see the imperial edict in his hand, he could only spread it out and hold it high.

Lan Ning was watching anxiously from the side, and took three or two steps forward to pull Mu Zhongting away.

"I come."

He took out a battery-powered speaker from his messenger bag, turned on the switch, and put it to his mouth.

"Hey, can you hear me, hey!

Listen up, everyone below. We have come here specifically to deliver food to you. Here is the imperial edict. Lay down your weapons.

Weapons are not meant to be used against our own people. Open the city gate quickly and let us in.

Our companions are exhausted, they have been sleeping in the open air for two months just to bring you food."

"Captain, they said they were delivering food to us. The thing in their hands was not a weapon but an imperial decree."

It’s not a weapon but an imperial edict?

Everyone's eyes fell on the thing in Mu Zhongting's hand.

I looked at it for a long time, and when I heard that it was an imperial edict, the more I looked at it, the more it looked like one.

"Who are you? Tell me your name first."

"My father is the emperor's personal physician, Mu Ao Bo."

Mu Aobo, the imperial physician Mu, they knew this man. To be exact, everyone who had been in the imperial palace knew him.

"Quick, open the city gate."
