Crossing the famine, relying on a spiritual spring to support the entire village

"Is that so? General Chu?" Yuwen Che skipped over Chu Ruohuai's words and took over Zhou Zhengnan's words.

Chu Ruohuai secretly rolled his eyes. Why don't you just arrest me? Why are you still acting like this?

Chu Ruohuai cupped his hands and said sternly, "Second Prince, County Magistrate Zhou may be old and his hearing is not working well. I have said before that I came to the county government office only after I saw a thief coming in."

"Chu Ruohuai, what did you say!" Zhou Zhengnan's face looked grim. He was strong and healthy now, so what did he mean by old age!

"County Magistrate Zhou, I am speaking the truth. Don't get angry. This will make you age faster." Chu Ruohuai said sarcastically with a slight curl of his lips

"You..." Zhou Zhengnan was about to explode in anger, but when he saw Yu Wenche's coldness, he instantly lost his temper.

Yuwen Che: "I see. Did General Chu find the thief?"

"This thief is really cunning. Maybe he is hiding in some secret door and can't be found. I clearly saw him coming in but I can't find him now." Chu Ruohuai shook his head and looked at Yuwen Che without letting him have any expression, but he kept smiling without any fluctuation.

"Since we can't find it, General Chu should take his men away. If you send troops into the county government office like this, people who don't know will think something big has happened here," Yuwen Che said with narrowed eyes.

"Your Highness!" Zhou Zhengnan spoke out to try to stop him. How could he let this barbarian go? Wasn't now a great opportunity to catch him?

Yuwen Che gave Zhou Zhengnan a cold look, and he became depressed again.

Chu Ruohuai looked at the interaction between the two. Are they trying to drive me away? He refused to leave. "Second Prince, I am very sad to see the refugees in Geli being displaced. I have decided to stay and help County Magistrate Zhou to rescue the refugees."

Zhou Zhengnan: ???

Yuwen Che also frowned: "My third brother is still in Beilin City. Why don't you go to help him quell the riots and come to Geli to rescue the victims?"

"Don't worry, Second Prince. With Lord Ming here, there will be no problem." Chu Ruohuai replied

Yuwen Che sneered, the star might never come back

Zhou Zhengnan had a headache. What was this barbarian doing here? If he found out that he had withheld the food aid, his official position would be in jeopardy. Didn't His Highness want to kill him? Why did he let him stay in his territory?

Chu Ruohuai arranged for the soldiers to sleep in the county government office and let them sleep anywhere they wanted.

"Don't go to County Magistrate Zhou's backyard, or you'll get stye and see things you shouldn't see!" Chu Ruohuai said

Zhou Zhengnan watched helplessly as Chu Ruohuai occupied his county government office like a bandit. He felt very upset and hurriedly followed Yuwen Che out.

"Your Highness, Chu Ruohuai is making such a fuss, won't you do anything about it?" Zhou Zhengnan had a lot of resentment in his heart that he couldn't vent.

"Since it's about helping the refugees, then you should help them well." Yuwen Che emphasized the word "help", looked at him meaningfully, got on the carriage and drove away.

Leaving Zhou Zhengnan alone in the wind, His Highness doesn't care about him? No, helping the refugees? His eyes lit up and he smiled maliciously, Chu Ruohuai, since you've come to my door, I'll make sure you can't escape.

The other side~

Su Nian'an was locked up in the woodshed and tied up. You are so fucking stupid! How can she enter the space? If she had known she would eat more when she escaped, she would have eaten two apples. Now she has been hungry for a whole day, her mouth is dry, and her stomach is numb and she has no feeling.

"Brother, I want to drink water." Su Nian'an called again. She had called countless times that day, but there was no response. If it weren't for the thin shadow outside the door, she would have thought that no one was there. But that dead child was stubborn. He said he would not give her food, not even water!

"Hey! Is anyone still alive outside?"

"I want to poop!"

"You'll stink yourself!"

"Little brother, how old are you this year? Are your parents in Gary?"

"You are already married at this age, how about we make a deal and I will find you a wife?"

"..."

No matter what Su Nian'an said, the people outside remained unmoved and stood at the door like a piece of wood. This reminded her of the wooden stakes standing at the entrance of the village.

Forget it, she saved her energy, and once she was untied, she would enter the space immediately and never come out again! Suffer this t﹏t

Su Nian'an closed her eyes to rest and conserve her energy. She regretted the useless work she had done today. It was a sheer waste of her energy. She didn't know how long that bastard prince would keep her locked up.

"Sister!" A deliberately low voice came from outside the door.

The ropes tied around Su Nian'an were very uncomfortable, and she woke up immediately after a light sleep.

"Who!" She also lowered her voice

"It's me, sister." A little head popped in, but the light was too dim to see who it was.

"Who are you?" Su Nian'an asked doubtfully

"I'm Afeng." The boy came closer, and Su Nian'an saw clearly that it was the boy who said he voluntarily joined the bandits on the way to Beilin City.

Su Nian'an's hands and feet loosened, and the ropes that bound him were untied by Afeng.

"How do you know me?" Su Nian'an didn't remember communicating with this boy. "Isn't the guard guarding me here?"

"He's gone to eat. I'll take his place for a while. Sister, here, eat something. I'll take you out." A Feng said as he handed over a white flour bun.

Su Nian'an was starving. He took the steamed bun and ate it immediately. Then he took the water bag handed to him by Afeng and drank it all.

After eating, Su Nian'an regained some energy and asked in confusion: "Why did you take me out? Are you familiar with this place?"

A Feng scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Sister, I have been here for almost a month. The second in command took me in and I stayed in the village for a few days before calling me here to work."

Hearing this, the second in command Su Nian'an immediately became alert. Is this child someone from Chen Youqian's family?

"Let's go, sister. It's easier to walk after dark." When Afeng saw Su Nian'an finish eating and pull her up to leave, he didn't see the alienation and inquiry in her eyes.

Su Nian'an followed Ah Feng's sometimes fast and sometimes slow steps, wandering around the house. It was dim and she couldn't tell east, west, south, or north. She first looked at what kind of gourd he was selling.

"Afeng, I remember the gate seemed to be in another direction," Su Nian'an asked tentatively.

The thin shoulders in front of him stiffened for a moment, and he pretended to be calm and said, "Sister, the guards over there are more strict. After all, the route I lead is loose and safer."

"Oh," Su Nian'an responded calmly and continued to follow him.

A Feng quickened his pace, fearing that Su Nian'an could not keep up, so he pulled her arm

Su Nian'an shook off his hand and said angrily: "What are you doing! I'm a married woman!"

A Feng was confused. He knew. What happened to a married woman? He realized that something was wrong with the tug just now and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, sister. We have to leave quickly. There is no time!"
