Chapter 224: Fleeing Famine with Family (1)

"That's because you don't have enough experience. How many people died in the severe drought thirty years ago!" An old man sighed, his face full of vicissitudes and helplessness.

“Back then, just like now, the water source dried up, the land cracked, the crops withered, and people fled everywhere. I was the only one who survived in the village at that time,” the old man continued, his voice low and heavy.

He sighed again: "I don't want to be buried in a foreign land, but my filial children don't want to leave me alone. I didn't expect that we could all survive. This is all the grace of the county magistrate's wife and the blessing of God! God bless Daliang!"

The people around him echoed, "Yes! Yes! The magistrate's wife is our great benefactor! She allowed so many of us to follow her, so no thief dared to provoke her."

"Who says it's not true? We are all lucky. Not only did we meet a noble person, but we also found water when we were short of water, and food when we were short of food."

"Yes! Yes!" Everyone echoed, sighing at their own luck...

Han Xueqing and her two children were sitting comfortably in the carriage, stopping and starting as they went, for they were worried that someone behind them could not keep up.

The safety of the team was left to her brother and Uncle Ya, one leading the way and the other following behind the team.

The scenery along the way became increasingly desolate. They passed by a village and found that it had long been abandoned. The empty houses and dilapidated farmland made people feel sad.

Suddenly, there was a noise coming from the front. Han Dongnuan asked the team to stop and check. It turned out to be a group of bandits robbing the refugees of their belongings.

A sense of justice surged in Han Dongnuan's heart, and he led his men forward and started a fierce battle with the bandits, and soon defeated them.

The bandits saw that the situation was not good and fled in panic. The refugees were grateful to Han Dongnuan and knelt down to thank him.

"Thank you so much for saving us! If it weren't for you, not only would our food be stolen, but we would also have lost our lives." An old man said excitedly, his voice trembling.

"Thank you for your great kindness, we will always remember it in our hearts. I wonder where you are going?" A thin and haggard man also echoed.

His face was full of fatigue, but at this moment it showed sincere emotions.

Han Dongnuan quickly stepped forward to help the old man up and comforted him, saying, "It's just a small favor, you don't have to be so polite! The most important thing now is to protect ourselves."

Then he said to the thin man, "We are going to Lingnan. What are your plans?"

The thin man immediately suggested that everyone go to Lingnan together.

After thanking Han Dong Nuan profusely, the others were wondering what to do next. Upon hearing the proposal, everyone immediately perked up, with hope glittering in their eyes.

"Yes! We can follow our benefactor to Lingnan!" someone shouted excitedly.

Others also echoed: "That's right, the benefactor is so great, our family will go together."

"Yes, it will never go wrong to follow the benefactor. Let's go too."

Everyone expressed their willingness to follow Han Dongnuan to Lingnan without hesitation. They believed that there would be new opportunities waiting for them in Lingnan, allowing them to get rid of their difficulties and start their lives again.

Han Dongnuan looked at the eyes full of expectation and trust in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel touched. He knew that these people had regarded him as a life-saving straw, and he was determined not to let this trust down.

"Since everyone has decided to go to Lingnan with me, and it's getting late, let's rest here tonight and set off tomorrow morning." Han Dongnuan said.

"That's great! With so many of us on the road, we don't have to worry anymore."

They received food supplies from the sky along the way and did not enter the city at all.

When officials along the way heard about the large group of people, they were very worried. What on earth were so many people trying to do?

Later, seeing the token provided by Han Dongnuan, and that they were not going into the city, and that their purpose of arranging refugees to go to Lingnan was the same, he felt relieved.

They offered them food and drink, and encouraged more refugees to join them. In this way, they continued to move forward, recruiting people along the way.
