In the years of famine, the knife in my mother's hand is not bad either

The eldest brother Wang Qingliu watched as the fourth brother delivered the quilt to his mother, his eyes widened!

I secretly hated him: Good! You, the fourth one.

In order to prevent me from using the quilt, he actually gave it to the evil mother!

A gentleman's revenge is never too late!

He didn't think at all about how much harm it would cause to the fourth brother by forcing his wife, Wang Liu, off the water truck and getting on the truck himself while the fourth brother was away.

After nearly another hour of rushing, we finally heard cheers from the front!

"The fog... the fog is getting lighter!"

"We're halfway through the journey, everyone, step up!"

"Leave the salt lake and take a rest. Don't fall down here! If you have enough strength, go and help the elderly and children!"

"..."

Shen Qian listened to the cheers mixed with the arrangements and orders of the village chief Wang Dakuo.

Satisfied.

It’s nice to be able to travel without having to worry about anything!

It was getting darker and darker, and we were finally out of the area with the thickest fog.

However... in the huge salt lake, everyone walked for the whole day!

You know, in order to facilitate the journey, Wangjiacun, under Shen Qian's suggestion, all the people traveled overnight.

We set off at dusk every day and stopped to rest at dawn.

On this day, they entered the fog before dawn. As they walked along, the changes in the light and dark of the sky were not so obvious, but the feeling of the sun at its peak and now at sunset was obviously surprising even when walking in the fog!

If you count carefully, these more than 1,700 people walked for 24 hours!

This is the physical condition after seven or eight days of migration.

During this period, everyone was only given half an hour to rest.

But in order to survive, no one dared to fall behind. Even if they fell, they would get up again!

A cow that was walking suddenly fell to the ground!

This sudden change stunned the people who were helping to push the cart from behind.

It directly caused a series of car accidents!

"Ouch!"

"Quick, stop!"

"Don't forget to walk ahead! Those behind, please stop the oxcart!"

Rapid shouts spread.

Although Shen Qian and her group didn't understand, they still let the ox cart stop where it was.

After a while, news came that the cow in front had collapsed from exhaustion:

"Can't leave!"

"One of the cows collapsed from exhaustion, and the others refused to move after stopping! They seemed to be in a rage!"

"What should we do? We have so many things, we can't just abandon the cows and walk out of the fog, right?"

"..."

The villagers of Wangjia Village were in chaos for a moment.

Then Shen Qian shouted:

"Everyone stop it!"

"Let's rest here today!"

"Those of you with fishing nets, tell each other to come over to my side!"

As soon as Shen Qian finished speaking, the first people to calm down were the villagers around her.

After all, since the drought broke out, Shen Qian's abilities have been obvious to all, and have truly convinced the tribesmen.

If she were not a woman, the position of village chief would probably fall on her now!

As Shen Qian's words spread, the village chief Wang Dakuo also hurried over.

"Aunt, if we stop in the salt lake, won't the dehydration on our bodies be exacerbated?"

Facing Wang Dakuo's question, Shen Qian sighed helplessly:

"What can we do?"

"Leave those of us with ox carts to wait in the fog, and those without ox carts to go out first? And then wait for us outside the salt lake?"

Hearing that some people had to be abandoned in the fog, Wang Dakuo shook his head repeatedly.

He is the village chief!

It is your obligation to lead all the villagers to reach the southern border safely!

......

The back of the line.

The eunuchs who were riding horses behind Shen Qian and her group also stopped.

However, with the experience of resting before, they are much calmer now.

After all, they are villagers from the same village, so it is understandable that there might be some accidents or delays along the way!

After a while, a voice came from the front:

"Those who have fishing nets, go forward and find Aunt Shen Qian!"

"Hurry up if you have a fishing net, we might have to rest in the fog tonight!"

"..."

Listening to the shouts getting closer and closer.

The chief eunuch Liang Zhaozhong began to feel doubtful.

Shen Qian? Could it be the woman who delivered water during the day?

Why did he send people to look for the fishing nets?

Next to the sedan chair, Little Li frowned. They were racing against time to meet Liangdu, so how could they delay here for too long?

As soon as he reached this point, he asked Liang Zhaozhong in the sedan chair:

"General Manager!"

"This group of villagers has stopped again. Should we overtake them from the side?"

In response to his inquiry, the person in the sedan simply replied with a number:

"Go and see!"

"Okay!" Seeing that his chief steward was actually interested, Little Li would rather delay his journey and answered loudly.

After staying around people in high positions for a long time, the basic skill they learn is to read people's expressions.

"What are you going to do?"

As soon as Leo and his group moved, the strong men and hunters who were holding weapons in their hands suddenly became nervous.

Looking at their tense appearance, Leo smiled and explained:

"You must carefully consider the consequences of attacking an official appointed by the imperial court!"

As soon as they finished speaking, they passed the strong man and hunters from the side.

The strong men and hunters' faces turned red at this moment.

A hunter even drew his bow as he watched them leave...but he didn't dare put an arrow in it.

"Damn it!" The moment the hunter released the bowstring, it seemed as if all his strength was drained away.

He is an official appointed by the imperial court, and the other party is cavalry, so we can't afford to offend him.

......

As word spreads.

People with fishing nets in their hands ran towards Shen Qian.

There are more than a thousand households in the village, and with Shen Qian's family having a fishing net, there are only three in total!

This fishing net in her family was divided when her husband was still alive.

Good news, these three fishing nets add up to more than 250 square meters!

"Take apart all these fishing nets, and then use wooden sticks and manpower to lift them up high!" Shen Qian called out to the people who brought the fishing nets and the onlookers.

I heard that the fishing nets were going to be dismantled.

The two families who brought fishing nets immediately looked embarrassed.

This is the tool they rely on for survival. Now that it is broken, repairing it later is one thing, but it is even more upsetting for them that it cannot be repaired to its current state.

You know, the cheapest fishing net costs two taels of silver!

One of the fishing nets even cost five taels of silver.

Shen Qian noticed the hesitation of the two families and frowned.

"A new fishing net can't even hold five taels. I'll give you two families six taels. Divide it up!"

"The fishing net belongs to me!" Shen Qian said, her eyes fixed on the two families.

When one of the families heard that Shen Qian wanted to pay, although they still didn't understand the purpose of the fishing net, they immediately expressed their opinion:

"Hey! Wang Shen!"

"That's a bit insulting."

"Your decisions have always been made for the benefit of the villagers. If I ask you for money, am I still a human being?"

"You spendthrift bitch, what are you standing there for? Take down the net!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he vented the only bit of dissatisfaction in his heart towards his first wife.

Shen Qian couldn't help but shake her head when she saw this.

He took out the silver directly and gave four taels to his family and two taels to the other family.

Who was he trying to point out? The spendthrift woman? Wasn't he just saying this to himself? Shen Qian was extremely upset. Even if they were from the same village, she would definitely make him regret it later!
