The fat wife is rebellious: she was spoiled by the group on the way to escape famine

Song Wenqin was stunned when he heard this. He had had this idea in his mind for a long time, but he had not mentioned it until now because he saw her working tirelessly for the villagers.

At this moment, the moonlight gently casts its light on her slightly tired face, and the tenacious light that once shone seems to dim a little. His heart tightens, and he whispers softly: "Okay, the food in Lingshan is becoming increasingly scarce, and going deep into the unknown is even more dangerous and unpredictable."

"So are we heading towards Yecheng or directly north to the capital?" Jiang Jinhe asked.

They had planned to bypass Huizhou and go straight to Yecheng, but for some reason they have been stranded until now.

Song Wenqin pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go to Yecheng first. The journey is shorter. If anyone is willing to accompany us, it won't be too much of a burden."

Jiang Jinhe nodded in agreement: "Yes, let's explore Yecheng first, and use the capital as a backup plan."

Just like that, this brief conversation determined the future direction - in fact, it was the choice they had no other choice.

The next day, Song Wenqin escorted Jiang Jinhe to the county government office as usual, and then they went their separate ways to inform their relatives, friends and villagers of Ayuan Village.

Jiang Jinhe was responsible for discussing with Lin Shen.

After the matter was settled that day, Jiang Jinhe revealed his decision to leave to Lin Shen.

When Lin Shen first heard this, he wanted to say something but stopped himself. Reason finally overcame impulse.

He knew very well that only by leaving would the people of Huizhou have a chance of survival.

Faced with Lin Shen's support, Jiang Jinhe was both moved and surprised.

Not only did he not try to keep her, but he encouraged her to help more people escape from suffering.

"That would be the best. If there are those willing to accompany us, please put aside past grudges and lend them a hand. If we come across suitable accommodation along the way, let them settle down."

Jiang Jinhe originally thought that he would dissuade her, but she didn't expect Lin Shen to be so broad-minded. She couldn't help but feel deep respect for this caring official.

This is an official who truly cares about the people and works hard to make a living for them!

"Of course, sir, please rest assured that I will protect the safety of anyone who is willing to accompany me." Jiang Jinhe solemnly promised, and his admiration for Lin Shen increased even more.

After he finished speaking, Lin Shen was called away by matters outside.

Jiang Jinhe got up and went to the doctors' residence, and once again mentioned the news of her impending departure.

At this moment, the doctors were in a panic, scrambling to keep her.

Amidst the chatter, Jiang Jinhe had to raise her voice to interrupt the scene: "Please rest assured, I will definitely work with everyone to develop an effective epidemic prevention plan before I leave. There is no need to worry."

These words were like a sedative, and everyone's hearts gradually calmed down.

In fact, they were more eager to travel with Jiang Jinhe than the prescription.

No one knew the situation in Huizhou City better than them. Following Jiang Jinhe, their lives seemed to be more secure.

But as a doctor, how can I abandon my patients?

Therefore, they instinctively wanted to keep Jiang Jinhe.

But after thinking calmly, they stopped trying to keep him and instead started discussing anti-epidemic strategies.

As night fell, Jiang Jinhe returned home with Song Wenqin, only to find the yard full of people.

The villagers of Ayuan Village and several good neighbors were all there.

"They are all willing to go with us." Song Wenqin explained on the side.

The head of Ayuan Village stepped forward and said, "Yes, Miss Jiang, we are willing to follow you. We all trust your abilities."

The previous estrangement seemed to have been forgotten, and everyone looked at her with trust.

Jiang Jinhe had no objection. Strength lies in numbers, so this trip would naturally be much safer.

In troubled times, those who act alone are likely to become targets of others, but those who act in large numbers can look after each other and make thieves wary.

A few days later, Jiang Jinhe and the doctors finally worked out an epidemic prevention prescription. They witnessed the effectiveness of the prescription with their own eyes and confirmed that the symptoms had improved. Only then did they make plans to set off the next day.

At night, Song Wenqin informed the people who were going to travel with him one by one.

The next morning, Lin Shen was already waiting at the city gate, wanting to personally see Jiang Jinhe and his party off.

As Jiang Jinhe and his group approached, Lin Shen's figure became clearly visible.

As they approached, Lin Shen took out a small packet from his bosom and handed it to Jiang Jinhe: "This is a small gift from me on behalf of the people of Huizhou. Please be sure to accept it."

Jiang Jinhe hadn't expected a parting gift, and though she repeatedly declined, she couldn't resist Lin Shen's insistence. Lin Shen gave Jiang Jinhe a long look, then glanced at the team behind her, then turned to Song Wenqin, "I'll leave them in your care. I hope you can protect them."

Their eyes met, and they understood each other. Song Wenqin nodded firmly: "Don't worry, I will."

After a brief farewell, Jiang Jinhe and his party embarked on their journey.

All the villagers of Ayuan Village accompanied him this time, as well as several families who had close ties with Jiang Jinhe. They knew Jiang Jinhe's abilities very well, and even though the future was uncertain, they followed him without hesitation.

The number of people was just right, filling the gap left by those who died in Ayuan Village due to the plague. The new family brought new hope.

A small team of dozens of people, although not large in number, is enough to resist those guys with ulterior motives and ensure the safety of the team.

This made Jiang Jinhe feel relaxed and free from heavy pressure.

After walking for a distance, Jiang Jinhe quietly unfolded the small package given by Lin Shen.

Inside the package were some simple dry food and a few warm jade pendants.

Although these jades are not top-notch, if buyers can be found in Yecheng or the capital, they should be able to earn some silver.

This kind of thinking actually reflects the old saying "When you go out, carry your valuables with you."

A warm feeling surged in Jiang Jinhe's heart, and she was deeply moved by this meticulous care.

Song Wenqin glanced at her calmly, a smile playing on his lips. He remembered that he had a jade pendant of excellent quality. If she had a preference for jade, he might find an opportunity to give it to her as a gift in the future.

On the first day of the trip, Jiang Jinhe took advantage of everyone's initial enthusiasm and led them to travel a longer distance.

Only at noon when the sun was at its hottest did they stop to rest for a while and eat some dry food to replenish their energy.

The rest of the time, we just keep walking, step by step, moving forward.

As night fell quietly, they crossed the border of Lingshan and set foot in unknown territory. Only then did Jiang Jinhe signal everyone to stop and rest.

If it weren't for the inconvenience of setting up camp and repairing at night, Jiang Jinhe really wanted to lead everyone to continue moving forward under the cover of darkness.

Because the daytime heat was unbearable, her throat was dry as fire due to lack of water, and the scorching sun made her sweat profusely. She had the thought of stopping countless times, but it was only because of her strong will and constant self-encouragement that she was able to persist until now.

"Okay, men, go hunting with my husband, women and elders, take care of the children, and set up the tent together. Everyone should be quick to knock on the door. It's getting late, so don't waste time."

Despite being exhausted, everyone was still in good spirits and immediately took action upon hearing the sound.

Jiang Jinhe took advantage of the time when everyone was setting up tents to lead the children to collect dead branches nearby and quickly light a bonfire.

In the team, in addition to Song Anyi, who was still holding the baby, Yingzi and Huzi, there were two teenage girls and five boys.
