Xiao Yanxi: "I'll think of a way."

Xie Fanjin immediately said, "Don't take the lead. I'll find someone else."

After Xie Fanjin finished speaking, he waved to Wang Jiacheng in the distance, and Wang Jiacheng immediately ran over.

"Xie sister, what can I do for you?"

Xie Fanjin was a little embarrassed: "We have too much stuff. I want to get a donkey cart. Do you think it's okay?"

Wang Jiacheng immediately said, "Okay, Sister Xie, don't worry, I'll think of a way..."

Xie Fanjin took out a twenty-liang silver ingot from his sack and handed it to him: "Just say that you bought it and rented it to me."

Wang Jiacheng immediately understood what Xie Fanjin meant. Now that Xie Fanjin and the others were in exile, having a donkey cart would be too conspicuous. If he were to show up, it would be more acceptable.

"Okay, thank you sister, I'll do it as soon as possible."

That night, Wang Jiacheng brought the donkey cart over. Wang Tiezhu watched him drive the cart towards Xie Fanjin and grabbed his arm, "Where are you going?"

Wang Jiacheng smiled and said, "Second Uncle, I spent so much money on the donkey cart, I need to make some money back. I see Sister Xie has so many things over there, I'll ask her if she wants to rent them out and get some money back."

Wang Tiezhu's expression changed: "You kid, are you trying to play tricks on me?"

Wang Tiezhu suspected that this donkey cart was bought for Xie Fanjin.

He didn't even have time to eat. He finally got the donkey cart, but ended up doing nothing for others?

Wang Jiacheng scratched his head and insisted, "Second Uncle, I bought it. It has nothing to do with Sister Xie."

Wang Tiezhu cursed, "I don't even know how much silver you have, but this donkey cart cost so much, where did you get it?"

Wang Tiezhu rolled his eyes and said, "The other day the post house caught fire, and I took advantage of the chaos to steal..."

Wang Tiezhu believed it a little, but could only watch Wang Jiacheng give the donkey cart to Xie Fanjin.

In order to cover up his tracks, Xie Fanjin actually paid Wang Jiacheng two taels of silver in public.

Cheng Gang's face turned grim when he saw this scene, but he did not step forward to stop it. Sooner or later, he would deal with Xiao Yanxi and Xie Fanjin, so for now, let them be proud.

It started raining before we even reached Zhongzhou, and the rain got heavier the further we got towards Zhongzhou.

The Chen family was soaked like drowned rats. Although Xie Fanjin and his group had straw raincoats and hats, they were also wet.

Uncle Chen was carrying Old Madam Chen on his back when he accidentally slipped and both of them fell to the ground.

Uncle Chen hadn't gotten up yet, so he asked Mrs. Chen, "Mom, are you okay?"

Old Madam Chen gritted her teeth, shook off the mud on her hands, and complained with a frown: "Boss, you have always been cautious, why are you still so careless? Fortunately, I am lucky, otherwise I would have gone to see the King of Hell."

Madam Chen helped her husband up with a distressed look on her face. "You've been carrying mother on your back since early morning. You must be exhausted after walking such a long distance. Why don't you let your second brother carry her for a while?"

Master Chen Er said with a grim expression: "Sister-in-law, the injuries from the beatings on my body haven't healed yet. It's good enough that I can walk on my own now. I'm sorry for the trouble you and brother have to endure!"

Mrs. Chen's face was extremely ugly, but Mrs. Chen II complained: "Sister-in-law, it's good enough that we don't bother you. Xiaobao is still so young, and we are the ones who take care of him. It's not easy for us!"

Mrs. Chen was almost so angry that she vomited blood. Chen Xiaobao was already over ten years old and still needed someone to serve him. He would roll on the ground if he was unhappy.

Look at the little girl from the Qian family. She is the same age as Chen Xiaobao, but she can still take care of her mother and her younger brother.

Wang Tiezhu sneezed a few times and couldn't stand it anymore, so he quickly caught up with Cheng Gang.

"Boss, the rain keeps falling. We can't keep walking like this. Let's take a break and wait until the rain stops before continuing our journey!"

Cheng Gang said with a straight face: "If the rain doesn't stop, are we going to keep waiting? Don't you know how long you've been delayed? If the higher-ups ask about it, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Wang Tiezhu's face suddenly turned ugly and he didn't know what to say.

At this time, a figure came running from a distance.

The man saluted when he saw Cheng Gang and said, "Boss, there's been a flood in Zhongzhou. The people are displaced and they're robbing anyone they see. Let's take a detour!"

Cheng Gang's face looked unhappy. He turned around and glanced at Xiao Yanxi and his group. He probably understood why Xie Fanjin dug so many medicinal herbs. It turned out that he was waiting to take advantage of the opportunity and sell them at a high price.

Humph, that’s wishful thinking.

Wang Tiezhu immediately put on a bitter face: "It's already been such a long journey, if we take a longer detour, it will be really troublesome."

Cheng Gang said without thinking: "No detour, go straight."

Xiao Liuzi's face changed: "Brother, this is too dangerous!"

Not only are the floods life-threatening, but also the refugees. Anyone who is starving will eat!

Cheng Gang twitched his lips and said, "You people, who eat the public food and receive the salary, if you can't even protect yourselves, you deserve to die."

After these words were spoken, Xiao Liuzi, Wang Tiezhu and others felt a little embarrassed.

Upon learning that Zhongzhou was flooded, Cheng Gang insisted on going from Zhongzhou to Jinsha Island, which made everyone a little panicked.

But Xie Fanjin had already expected this.

On the way, Xie Fanjin was still wondering: "We are about to enter Zhongzhou. Zhongzhou is flooded, isn't it? Why haven't we seen a single refugee yet?"

Xiao Yanxi said, "The Bingzhou prefect had long anticipated that the victims would flee, so he strictly guarded the city gates and did not allow the victims to enter Bingzhou."

Xie Fanjin understood.

Although the Bingzhou prefect issued an order prohibiting disaster victims from entering Bingzhou, there were always a small number of disaster victims who found ways to enter Bingzhou.

So it wasn't long before you could see groups of disaster victims.

The Chen family members were so scared that they huddled together, and the Qian family members were also very alert and didn't dare to say a word.

The victims were all pale and thin, weak and dazed. They started to say:

"Please...give me something to eat..."

"Please, I'm starving..."

Xie Fanjin distributed the dry food he had prepared long ago to them. The victims were so excited that they immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you so much, benefactor! Thank you so much, benefactor!"

Cheng Gang glanced at this side from a distance, with a sneer on his face. Since this woman was seeking her own death, it would save him the trouble.

"Come quickly, there is food here, there is food here!" The victim took a bite of dry food and shouted at his companions in the distance.

When the victims heard that there was food here, they all rushed over.

Bingyi and Xiao Yanxi immediately pulled out the sticks they had prepared long ago. The sticks were not only thick and strong, but also had sharp ends. The victims who rushed over immediately became obedient.

Seeing those people in their half-dressed and miserable state, Xie Fanjin probably guessed something: "Did you climb the mountain to enter Bingzhou?"

The victims cried and replied, "Yes, benefactor, the gates of Bingzhou are tightly closed, and we, the disaster victims, are not allowed to enter. We have no choice but to climb the barren mountains!"

Xie Fanjin asked Madam Chen San and Jin to distribute the prepared dry food to the victims, and then said, "Now that you have entered Bingzhou, you can go north. Fifty miles to the north, there is a village that was hit by a plague more than ten years ago. Most of the people died. You can settle down there, cultivate the land, and live a good life."

Some victims were incredulous: "The Bingzhou prefect won't even let us into the city. How can we possibly settle down in Bingzhou? How is that even possible?"
