The taste is almost the same as her homemade one. It seems that Song Yuyu is very talented in cooking.

Under Song Yuyu's tender gaze, Jiang Jinhe quickly finished a bowl.

After a brief conversation, Jiang Jinhe stood up and resumed his life, feeling more warmth and strength in his heart.

Coincidentally, a group of people from Ayuan Village also rushed over.

As soon as they saw Jiang Jinhe, they were immediately excited.

"The Jiang family! The Jiang family is back!"

This shout instantly attracted everyone's attention, and the crowd gathered around.

"Mr. Jiang, why didn't you tell me earlier that you were coming back? We haven't had any food for several days. Please take us to find something to eat!"

"Yeah, we were starving, and you didn't even say a word when you came back!"

The people who were talking were all villagers from Ayuan Village, and then a few people who were not very familiar with her asked about her health with some concern.

Jiang Jinhe felt a pang of sadness in her heart. These people didn't ask about her experiences these past few days, nor did they care about her health or whether she could take them into the mountains. Instead, they started to blame her.

She forced a smile to respond to those who truly cared about her, but as for those who came from Ayuan Village, she was unwilling to even give them an extra glance.

Song Wenqin seemed to notice that she was in a bad mood, and walked straight through the crowd, intending to send them away.

The people of Ayuan Village were very dissatisfied with Jiang Jinhe's attitude and murmured displeasure, but were directly rebuked by the surrounding refugees. Song Wenqin was not polite and directly dispersed them.

After everyone left, Song Wenqin said to Jiang Jinhe:

"There's no rush to find food. You should rest well first. Your health is the most important thing."

Jiang Jinhe had indeed suffered a lot in prison these past few days. Although he hadn't lost weight, he looked exhausted. Song Wenqin couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness in his heart.

Jiang Jinhe nodded weakly, not wanting to wander around anymore, so he turned around and went back to the house and lay down again.

I slept until the afternoon, woke up, had a quick dinner, and fell into a deep sleep again.

Song Yuyu was extremely worried and wanted to stay by Jiang Jinhe's side all the time. In the end, it was only after Song Wenqin repeatedly comforted her that she finally went back to her room to rest.

Jiang Jinhe actually slept until the next morning. When she woke up again, she felt much more refreshed, as if she had been reborn.

After having a hearty breakfast carefully prepared by Song Yuyu, she led the team up the mountain to search for food.

On the way, everyone gathered around Jiang Jinhe, concerned about her physical condition.

Their laughter and chatter sounded particularly harsh to the people from Ayuan Village who followed them.

"This Jiang family is really treacherous. I don't know who is closest to her!"

"You don't care about the people in your own village, but you get so close to these outsiders. It's really unreasonable."

The people from Ayuan Village walked in groups at the back, keeping a distance from the other refugees. They always had an inexplicable sense of superiority, so they never got close to others, even when going up the mountain.

But Jiang Jinhe was too lazy to pay attention to them every time, so he simply put them into a separate group and sent them away.

And they always brought back the least amount of food.

Jiang Jinhe knew that they were hiding food, but she didn't want to get involved with them, so she turned a blind eye and let them do whatever they wanted.

Every time she got entangled with them, she felt tired.

For the sake of her own good mentality, she just ignored them.

But when he climbed up the mountain, Jiang Jinhe found that the entire mountain area was in a mess, with signs of human destruction everywhere.

Even the trees had been cut down, leaving only bare stumps. She asked in surprise:

"What the hell does this happen?"

The county magistrate and the officials in the government office sent people up the mountain to look for food, and these trees are for them to chop down and make porridge." Someone nearby explained, and once this was started, everyone couldn't help but start talking.

Even though he had complained to the county magistrate and the prefect several times on the road, he still felt unhappy when he brought it up.

The nearby land was destroyed beyond recognition, so Jiang Jinhe had no choice but to lead everyone to explore further.

Fortunately, there is always a way out. Today, they had a small harvest and found a lot of food to fill their stomachs. Most of the refugees came out together, so Jiang Jinhe simply asked everyone to build a fire on the spot and eat the food they found first.

Of course, I also left some to take back home for the elderly and children to taste, so that they wouldn’t be confiscated by those accustomed to looting when I got to the city.

Seeing the sunset rising in the sky, Jiang Jinhe led everyone back, but just as they arrived at the city gate, they were stopped by a group of soldiers.

"Wait! The county magistrate has ordered that all of you refugees are not allowed to enter the city again!" This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, leaving everyone stunned on the spot, looking at each other, at a loss as to what to do.

Jiang Jinhe was about to step out to reason, but Song Wenqin gently pulled her and stopped her.

"Don't rush yet."

Jiang Jinhe looked at him in confusion, only to see Song Wenqin protecting her behind him, and several indignant refugees around him spontaneously formed a circle to shield her tightly.

At this time, Song Wenqin turned around and whispered:

"It's not easy to swallow the magistrate's tone. I'm afraid he will cause trouble for us."

Several refugees stepped forward and argued with the officers and soldiers who were blocking the road. The two sides formed a standoff under the city gate, neither giving in.

The sun slowly set in the west. More than an hour had passed, and they still hadn't been able to step into the city gate.

Seeing that the refugees were getting increasingly anxious and were about to clash with the soldiers, Jiang Jinhe quickly called everyone back.

There was no point in insisting on being deadlocked. Besides, she was not willing to set foot in this county town again from the bottom of her heart.

After all, in order to enter the city, one had to hand over some of the hard-earned food, which always made Jiang Jinhe feel aggrieved.

Since you are not allowed to go in, then just don’t go in.

With her outside, these refugees will not be unable to survive, and may even be able to live more comfortably!

But I am really worried about the elderly, the weak, women and children in the city.

If we bring them out, the living conditions will indeed be less convenient than in the city.

Considering this, Jiang Jinhe led the crowd out of the city gate. After discussing with Song Wenqin, they decided to set up camp outside the city and look for food. When night fell, Song Wenqin would sneak into the city with food. This way, they could take care of their family's safety while finding food with peace of mind.

"My dear husband, I have something I would like to ask for your help. Lin Shen, who was imprisoned with me before, is a man of great learning and ability. If you have the opportunity, please pay more attention to the situation in the city. Perhaps you can find a way to rescue him. He may be a useful person in the future."

Song Wenqin felt a pang of bitterness when he heard Jiang Jinhe caring so much about another man, but he tried to suppress his emotions and nodded.

"Okay, I'll pay attention."
