Traveling through time and space to become a concubine's daughter, leading the whole village to

This time, Xu Miao was not polite to Uncle Kang. He accepted his greeting calmly.

I toasted you just now because you are old and it must have been difficult for you to travel all the way here.

Now it’s time to talk business. Xu Miao needs to show some of the master’s aura, otherwise, he will really be looked down upon by Uncle Kang.

The middle-aged man who was squatting on the ground to rest, seeing Uncle Kang greet Xu Miao, quickly stood up from the ground and bowed to Xu Miao, saying, "Miss Xu, I am Uncle Kang's son, Kang Zhuzi."

Xu Miao smiled and nodded without saying much.

After Uncle Kang and his father finished their greetings, Xu Miao slowly asked, "Uncle Kang, what's going on in your village? Why did you choose to go to Hanjia Village?"

Xu Miao didn't let Uncle Kang sit down anymore. She was still standing, and there was no reason to let someone who came to ask them for help sit down and talk.

Uncle Fu saw Xu Miao's attitude and smiled secretly, thinking to himself: This Brother Kang is really blind. This Miss Xu is not someone to be trifled with.

Uncle Kang, seeing Xu Miao asking about their village straight away, stood up straight and quickly explained, "Miss Xu, we from Kangzhuang fled famine in the south to the northern border. Our original village was flooded, and the entire village was submerged. After fleeing all the way here, only our family of fifty or so people are left."

"Originally, we wanted to escape the famine and head to the vicinity of the capital. But halfway through, we were spotted by bandits and later robbed. The old village chief was seriously injured and died during the robbery."

"We were rescued by soldiers from the Northern Frontier who were passing by, and that's why we decided to flee to Dingzhou City."

"At first, there were about a hundred of us fleeing the famine together, but we were short of food and medicine along the way, and several elderly people died along the way. A few young children also died. Alas, there was nothing we could do!"

When Uncle Kang said this, tears welled up in his eyes. They had gone through hardships all the way from the south to the northern border, and now they were so poor that they had no choice but to sell their children.

Uncle Kang wiped his tears and continued to talk to Xu Miao and the others with a choked voice, "We, the people in our village, have escaped death and come all the way here. We don't want to separate and enter the city. But the Dingzhou City government can't issue travel permits and household registration for so many of us at once."

"At noon, we heard from the young people from our village who had gone to the city that Hanjia Village was looking for people. We discussed it and wanted to ask if we could bring all 50 or so people from our village to Hanjia Village."

"We know Hanjia Village is dangerous, but staying outside Dingzhou City isn't a long-term solution. We don't want to be separated, and since there's an opportunity to bring the whole village together, we want to give it a try."

After Uncle Kang finished speaking, he stood there, rubbing his hands nervously, staring at Xu Miao with wide eyes, fearing that Xu Miao would reject him as soon as he opened his mouth.

After listening to Uncle Kang's story, Xu Miao had a general understanding of the situation in Kangzhuang.

Among the fifty or so people in Kangzhuang, there are old and young, but I don’t know how many young and strong men there are. If Kangzhuang is full of old and weak people, it is really impossible to bring all of them to Hanjia Village.

Thinking of this, Xu Miao continued to ask Uncle Kang: "Uncle Kang, tell me in detail, how many young people and how many middle-aged people are there in your Kang Village?"

"Uncle Kang, don't blame me for asking this. We want to recruit people to reclaim the land in Hanjia Village. If Kangzhuang is full of old and young people, we really can't recruit them."

Xu Miao had to be frank. She didn't have the energy or financial resources to take care of Kang Zhuang's elderly and children. There were still a lot of elderly and weak people in Hanjia Village waiting for her care.

Xu Miao has the obligation to take care of the people of Hanjia Village, but others should just forget about it.

When Uncle Kang heard Xu Miao ask this, he quickly gave a detailed introduction to the current population situation in Kangzhuang.

"Miss Xu, Kangzhuang now has more than a dozen strong young men, as well as a dozen middle-aged men like my son. There are also more than a dozen old and young people, and more than a dozen women."

At this point, Uncle Kang smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Xu, don't worry. Those who survived Kangzhuang, regardless of gender, age or health, are all in good health. Those who were not in good health would have died on the road to escape the famine."

"It's because these remaining people are all from our hometown that we don't want to separate. If we separate again, Kangzhuang will be completely gone, and our family will be completely broken up."

At this point, Uncle Kang couldn't help but squat on the ground, holding his head and crying bitterly. Kang Zhuzi, who was standing aside, also shed tears along with Uncle Kang.

His mother and his little sister died on the way to escape famine.

His mother starved to death trying to save food for them, and his little sister died in his arms from a cold she caught on the road.

He still remembered his little sister's burning body, which gradually cooled down. He held her in his arms, feeling helpless.

He watched his sister close her eyes in his arms. He still felt heartbroken when he thought about the helpless feeling.

Now, there are only his father, him, and an old grandmother who is so sick that she is only breathing her last.

They have lived outside Dingzhou City for more than half a year, and rely on a few young people to go to the city to find odd jobs to earn some money for food.

How could we afford to hire a doctor for the old lady? The supplies distributed by the government were simply not enough.

If the old lady still lived in that leaky house in winter, she would definitely not live for many days.

In the afternoon, some fellow villagers told his father about Xu Miao and his team recruiting people to go to Hanjia Village. They also said that Hanjia Village could provide housing and that there would be land for them to cultivate next spring.

If you have land, you have food. If you have enough food, you can live with dignity.

Now, apart from these fellow villagers, all they have left is their life.

His father discussed it with several old people in Kangzhuang. The worst that could happen was that they would all die. If all the villagers died together, that would be their fate.

So, his father and he rushed all the way from their residence outside the city to Xu Miao and the others, fearing that they would be too late and Xu Miao and the others would have already recruited the candidates.

Xu Miao stood aside and waited for Uncle Kang to calm down before speaking, "Uncle Kang, we know about the situation in your village. Let's go back and discuss it."

"Come to get the news tomorrow morning. Can you get everyone in Kangzhuang to go to Hanjia Village? Tomorrow morning, I will give you accurate information."

It would be better for both of them if they told Uncle Kang the accurate news as soon as possible.

After hearing what Xu Miao said, Uncle Kang and Kang Zhuzi quickly nodded in agreement.

Uncle Kang said, "Miss Xu, please go back and think about this carefully. Although we are a large group, we are all decent farmers in Kang Village, and we are all good at farming."

"We are not afraid of hardship. As long as we can stay together, we can endure any hardship."

"As long as we get to Hanjia Village, we will obey you. Even if you ask us to fight the barbarians unarmed, we will accept our fate."

If they didn't go to Hanjia Village, at least half of them would have frozen to death or died of disease if they had to spend the winter outside Dingzhou City.

Rather than watching your loved ones suffer, it is better to fight for your life.

Even if they go to Hanjia Village to die this time, it is better than waiting to die outside Dingzhou City!
