Chapter 53

"Boy Yi, what news did you find out? What's going on in Daqing Mansion?"

The village chiefs of the two villages asked hurriedly when they saw Feng Chenyi and the others coming back.

They had heard some news at the city gate, so they asked hurriedly.

"This is not the place to talk." Feng Chenyi glanced at the surrounding victims who had been staring at them since they left the city.

"well!"

The village chief also realized that this was not the place to talk, and quickly asked everyone to pack their things.

After walking three miles away from the city gate, we found a place with leeward wind that could accommodate more than 300 people.

They started fleeing the famine in mid-March, and now it is early June. The weather in June is the most severe because of the heat. There are many mosquitoes at night and it is difficult to sleep.

While it is still dark, the village chief first arranges for the villagers to cut down trees and look for wild vegetables. Before dark, they must arrange a place to spend the night.

The doctor in the village also went to the nearby mountains to find some medicine to prevent snakes, insects, rats, and ants. It would be best to cut more mugwort leaves and burn them.

After all these arrangements were made, the village chiefs of the two villages and the village elders gathered together.

"what are you saying?"

The village chief and clan elders were shocked when they heard that someone in the north was rebelling and became mentally disturbed.

"Will there be chaos here?"

The village chief immediately asked, they had suffered a lot while fleeing the famine, what should they do if chaos broke out now.

"Why has this become such a mess? What should we do?"

A clan elder said tremblingly that he had lived for most of his life and did not want to encounter such a thing again when he was old.

"Don't worry, everyone, there won't be chaos here for the time being." Feng Chenyi saw that everyone was a little excited and quickly spoke to comfort them.

"And we found out that the city gates of Daqing Mansion will be opened tomorrow, and the government plans to place a group of refugees in Daqing Mansion."

"Really?" Why didn't you say it before? But it scared them to death. They all stared at Feng Chenyi with tiger eyes.

Hearing that there will be a meeting to resettle the refugees in Daqing Mansion tomorrow, his expression softened again.

The village chiefs and elders of the two villages were moved to tears. In the past two months, their old bones had suffered a lot.

There are no survivors during the escape. Many elderly people in Shangshui City and Dashiukou Village did not survive the journey. A cold wind killed them.

Thanks to the help of their family and the filial piety of their children and grandchildren, they were not left cold and hungry, and they might have died on the road.

"It's true." Feng Chenyi said with certainty.

"Okay, okay. Finally we don't have to move around."

A clan elder wiped the tears from his eyes.

"I just have something to tell you. Our Feng family does not plan to settle in Daqing Mansion."

The matter that Mr. Feng spoke about this time was something they had discussed long ago.

"What, what? Mr. Feng, are you still going south?" the village chief said in disbelief.

"Yeah, well, we had already planned to go to Huainan Mansion before we fled."

"This is not far from Huainan Prefecture. Why go to Huainan Prefecture if the city is willing to accommodate us?"

"We have almost spent our money. If we continue, we don't know how many more people will starve to death?"

What the village chief of Sheung Shui Village said was true. He spent a lot of money to escape the famine all the way. Even if he had some money, he still wanted to keep it to settle down.

It's not easy to find a place to settle down, but most people don't want to leave.
