On the wedding day, I was broken off, so I remarried his uncle

Although Old Song stamped his feet anxiously, he still picked up the wooden stick and followed.

Humph, he has to watch from the side. If these victims dare to attack his daughter, he will not show mercy!

The victims who had been following the convoy all the way saw that the convoy stopped and hesitated whether to rush up. Then they saw the guards beside the convoy draw out their shining swords.

The big knife flashed coldly under the scorching sun, frightening the victims who had no strength to begin with.

In addition, the group had been hungry for many days, and they were old and young. Even if they had the intention to steal, after seeing the opponent's strength, no one dared to rush up and die.

Seeing that the family finally stopped, a child in the crowd was the first to call out, "Mom, I'm hungry!"

Then the sound of children sobbing could be heard. Their breaths were weak and they looked as feeble and powerless as newborn kittens.

The woman looked at the child in her arms, who was so thin that only a bag of bones was left, and suddenly knelt down in the direction of the convoy.

"Please buy us, kindhearted person. We are willing to be slaves and servants, just give us food!"

"We are willing to sell ourselves, too! We are willing to do so!"

A group of people knelt down and kowtowed towards the direction of the convoy.

At this time, Song Xile had walked to the end of the convoy. Looking at the victims who were praying for the restoration of the land, she said, "I am just a farmer's daughter. It is not a long-term solution for you to follow me!"

"But God is merciful. Since I have met you all, I can't just pretend that I didn't see anything."

"Well, I will give each of you three days' worth of food. You can take this food to the city to find a job. I believe you have heard that the prefect bought food at a high price some time ago, and the city purchased a lot of food!"

"Now the prefect has teamed up with the wealthy families in the city to distribute porridge outside the city. Not only that, but he has also issued a decree to provide work-for-relief. As long as you don't hesitate to work, you can not only solve your own food and clothing, but also receive a pound of rice every day!"

As soon as Song Xile finished speaking, the crying stopped, and someone couldn't help but ask, "Is what the lady said true?"

They only knew that the city was wealthy, and heard that many wealthy families had flocked to participate in the dragon boat race some time ago.

They don’t care about the dragon boat race. In their limited knowledge, they only know that where rich people stay, there will be no shortage of food and drink!

Even if they have to beg at that time, it will be better than staying in Nanyang County!

But now, listening to what his wife said, the prefect did not ignore these poor refugees and provided them with a chance to survive.

They were already in front of the cliff, and now someone told them that as long as they went to the capital city, their family would no longer have to be slaves, and the family could still stay together.

Who wouldn’t be moved?

Chen Yun took a step forward and said solemnly, "Don't worry, everyone. We are from the city. The city is now prosperous. Because the prefect spread the word some time ago that he would buy grain at a high price, there are many grain merchants in the city now."

"As a result, food prices have fallen a lot in recent days. As long as you are willing to go to the government office to work, you will no longer go hungry."

One of the women asked nervously, "Does the government accept women? I am the only one with two children at home. If the prefect doesn't want women..."

Without waiting for Song Xile to answer, the escort who had been escorting them all the way answered for them.

"Auntie, don't worry. The prefect has organized people to dig rivers, ditches, build temples, and reclaim wasteland. As long as you have the strength, the government will take you in!"

After hearing this, the woman was so happy that she cried and kept murmuring, "Thank you, kind man. Let's go to the city. We are going to the city!"

Song Xile saw hope and excitement on these numb faces.

She knew that her goal had been achieved!

If there is a better and smoother path for you to choose, who would be willing to risk their life against them?

What's more, these are people with kind natures.

Song Xile didn't want to waste too much time here, so he asked them to stand separately according to their families.

After counting the number of people, each household was asked to send one person to receive food.

Song Xile not only distributed three days' rations to each of them, but also gave each of them an extra steamed bun made of mixed grains.

After the victims received the heavy loads of food, Song Xile and others kowtowed several times in gratitude, then guarded the food tightly in their hands and returned to their own teams.

He immediately turned around and left with his family.

They were also afraid that the food they had just obtained would be snatched away.

In just half a quarter of an hour, after the victims received their rations, the victims who had been chasing them all ran away in their separate directions.

They either turned into other paths or walked together as two families.

But there is only one goal, and that is to get to the capital as soon as possible!

Song Xile looked at the backs of those people and couldn't help but sigh, "Let's go too, speed up and leave Nanyang County as soon as possible!"

The escort and the Qian family's guards responded immediately.

They thought they would have to fight a tough battle today, but they didn't expect that it would be resolved cleverly by Madam Song!

For a moment, the escorts led by the Qiao brothers and the guards of the Qian family were more convinced of Song Xile's words.

In fact, in Song Xile's opinion.

When traveling, it is better to avoid conflicts if possible!

Moreover, conflicts often mean casualties. If only a very small price is paid, a disaster can be avoided.

She was still willing to do so.

Old Song followed his daughter and son-in-law back to the donkey cart.

He patted his chest with some lingering fear and said to his daughter: "You are too brave, child. Aren't you afraid that those desperate disaster victims will rush over and snatch your food?"

Song Xile said very frankly: "Of course I'm afraid!"

Old Song glared, "Then why did you ask the convoy to stop?"

Song Xile explained: "Dad, letting the disaster victims follow behind our convoy is a hidden danger. Guess why they didn't take action just now?"

Old Song curled his lips and said confidently: "Of course it's because we have more people, and our people have swords in their hands!"

Song Xile nodded, "That's why I persuaded them to leave when they were few in number and didn't dare to attack our convoy!"

"Once they have the advantage in numbers over us, what else do they have to worry about? We are just fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered in the eyes of others."

"The only thing they need to worry about is that this fat sheep is not easy to catch. But what does it matter? There are many of them, and the fat sheep will always be incapable of being caught. Don't you think so, Dad?"

"Besides, going to the capital city is indeed a way out for them. Why should we both suffer losses? I will pay to send them to the capital city. This way, it will be good for you, me, and everyone. Isn't it a win-win situation?"

Old Song was speechless for a long time.

Chen Yunyou on the side couldn't help but lower his head and smile. His wife was so smart and intelligent!
