Looking at the overgrown courtyard in front of him, Yun Zhi frowned, "It's uninhabitable right now. Let's move in after someone cleans it up. Let's rent a yard first."

Yun Jingxian nodded. "Okay, let's go. Let's go to the pawnshop and ask if anyone has houses for rent nearby. When my parents move in, they can live there first."

"By the way, the people who moved in from Yunjiazhai were settled there. There were quite a few of them."

"You can temporarily live in the county magistrate's mansion or other officials' mansions."

Yun Jingxian thought about the size of the county magistrate's mansion and nodded in agreement. "Yes, our county magistrate built a house that takes up almost half the street. It can easily accommodate hundreds of people."

On the way to the pawnshop, Yun Zhi and the others heard the Yun family army knocking on doors from house to house.

Two people walked in the streets in a group.

Zhao Yuaner and Liu Yucui walked to a house and knocked on the door.

"Is anyone inside? It's safe outside now, you can come out."

"squeak"

The door opened a little, and a young woman looked at them through the crack. Seeing that they were two women, she let down her guard a lot.

She opened the door completely, with a timid look on her face, "Ladies, what's going on now?"

Zhao Yuaner smiled kindly, "Sister, it's safe outside now. Our lord has already apprehended those bad apples. Now there's no one who can harm you."

She held the spatula in her hand and said hesitantly, "Then...the young master of the Qian family?"

"He has been locked up and will be executed in three days."

The young woman could no longer control herself. She covered her eyes with her hands and sobbed softly, "Thank you... Thank you, and your lord."

Liu Yucui, who had been silent the whole time, raised her head, looked at the young woman, and said word by word: "From now on, I will also be your lord."

The woman was stunned for a moment, then nodded with gratitude on her face, "Yes, it's ours too."

The woman was naturally grateful to her for being able to deal with these worse than pigs and dogs.

Moreover, these people did not burn, kill or loot when they came in, and now they are explaining to her in such a gentle voice. They are obviously good people. Then the lord must be no bad person either.

Could it be that they could have a good life? A glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in the woman's eyes.

"Sister, pack up and take your family to the county magistrate's office to queue up and register your household registration information. Each person will receive a liter of rice."

"I can still get rice?"

The woman's eyes widened, obviously surprised.

"Yes, this is the Lord's order. The days ahead will get better and better. Our Lord is omnipotent."

When talking about Yun Zhi, Zhao Yuaner's eyes lit up. It should be said that everyone in Yunjiazhai was like this when talking about Yun Zhi.

That was the God who saved them.

"Hey, thank you. I've got it all in mind."

"Sister, you're welcome. This is what our Yun Family Army should do. You should go quickly, or you'll have to wait in line for a long time."

"it is good."

Looking at the two people leaving, the woman repeated "Yun Family Army" several times.

At the moment the figure disappeared, she said again: "Thank you."

The moment she closed the door, the woman looked up at the dazzling sunlight, tears streaming down her cheeks, as if... things were really going to get better.

the other side.

Duan Yao and Zhang Ergou walked together.

Duan Yao looked at the familiar scene in front of her, walked to the door, and knocked heavily on it.

"Mr. Li, open the door. It's me, Duan Yao."

Mr. Li is old and his hearing is not very good, so you have to knock on the door very loudly every time, otherwise he won’t be able to hear you.

Mr. Li’s son, Li Dazhu, was one of the first group of people to work with Mr. Duan.

So Duan Yao is very familiar with Mr. Li.

I came here many times when I was a child.

It took a long time for the door to open.

An old man, leaning on a cane, opened the door tremblingly. His hair had turned completely white.

He leaned in closer and looked at her for a long time. "It's Yao girl. Why are you back? Can't you make it in the mountains? Don't worry, I'll take care of you."

"No, Mr. Li, I came back with the Lord today."

"what?"

Seeing that he didn't hear clearly, Duan Yao leaned over and whispered in the old man's ear, "Uncle Li, I said, I came back with the lord today. You know what happened today, right? I was inside at that time."

The old man heard it clearly now. He looked at her with some concern, "Isn't that dangerous?"

Even though he was hard of hearing, he still heard what happened today.

"Uncle Li, there are dangers in this world. We also encountered dangers when we were in the escort agency before."

The old man nodded. "That's right, that's right. How does your lord treat you?"

"She's very good. She took in everyone I brought with me. Now we have enough food and clothing."

"That's fine, that's fine."

The old man's face was full of relief.

"Uncle Li, look, Brother Ergou is with me too."

Zhang Ergou came over and said, "Uncle Li, I'm back too."

Just now, Zhang Ergou was standing a little far away, so Mr. Li couldn't see who he was. Now that he was closer and heard the familiar voice, he recognized him.

"It's Ergouzi, it's great to see you again."

I thought I would never see it in this lifetime, but I didn’t expect to see it again.

It was visible to the naked eye that the smile on the old man's face became more and more obvious.

"Why don't you come in and sit down. My old lady is home right now."

"We won't sit here anymore. We have to go to the next one."

"Uncle Li, take your family to the county magistrate's mansion later. We need to re-enumerate your household registration. You can also bring back a liter of rice when you get there."

"Can I still get rice?"

"Yes, this is what our lord said. You can get it if you register."

"Okay, okay, I'll ask my grandson to come with us when he comes back from the mountain."

The old man raised his head and looked at them with a pair of cloudy eyes. "Your master is a good person. You must follow her well from now on. Don't do anything that betrays your master."

"Uncle Li, don't worry, I still want to follow the lord and make great achievements."

"By the way, Uncle Li, is Uncle Dazhu back?"

The old man's expression stiffened for a moment, then he forced a smile, "Just like your father, he can't come back."

"I…"

Looking at the person in front of her, Duan Yao finally understood why his hair had turned so white after just a few years of not seeing him.

"Yao girl, the old man has let it go. You guys should go and do your own things. I should go back and tell my wife the good news."

The door slowly closed, and the old man could no longer be seen.

Duan Yao sighed, "Let's go to the next one."

At this time, there were already several long queues outside the county magistrate's mansion.

Liu Anruo took a pen made of bird feathers and registered them one by one.

After registering the identities of the family of five in front of him, Liu Anruo took the five liters of rice packed by a Yun family soldier behind him and handed it to them.

A middle-aged woman among them took it, looked at the white rice inside, and tears of excitement kept falling.

Their family only had a handful of rice to cook and eat every day, and it was the kind of rice mixed with a lot of stones. Sometimes they didn't even have any rice to eat in the whole day.

The bag of rice in front of them is enough for their family to eat for one or two months.

The family looked at Liu Anruo, wiped their tears, and sobbed, "Thank you, thank you, and thank you, Lord."

Liu Anruo smiled and nodded to them, "With the lord here, life will get better day by day."

"Yes, yes, the lord is a good man and will get better and better."

Next, Liu Anruo repeated what he had said countless times.

"When you go back, tell everyone you know and ask them to register. As for those of you who have already registered, come here in ten days to pick up your ID cards."

Although Qingyun County is small, it has about 3,000 people. It is impractical to knock on every door one by one, especially since some of the villagers still live in other villages.

It would be too time-consuming to rely solely on their words, so it would be better to pass them on one by one.

"Okay, we all know now. We'll tell them when we get back."

"Also, three days from now, the county magistrate and his group will carry out the execution. The location will be in the vegetable market over there."

When they were mentioned, the eyes of the people in front of them became vicious, as if they wanted to eat them alive.

"We will definitely come to watch the execution."
