It is a good thing to set up porridge shacks outside the county town. At least there will be people who stutter, so the refugees will not take risks to grab food.
Li Qi held the reins, sat firmly on the horse, and glanced around.
"We have posted notices along the road. Once the victims get the message, they will naturally go there. The rice porridge shed this time was donated by the surrounding gentry and merchants. It is a great act of charity. I heard that it will continue until all the victims are properly treated.
It will be evacuated only after the arrangements are made."
Everyone listened with surprise, it was so real and great.
Once the victims are resettled, their lives will be peaceful.
"Thank you, Chief Li, for informing us. Now that we have arrived at Willow Bay, if you don't mind, Chief Li, could you please move over and have a drink of water?"
Bai Yunsong bowed her hand to him and invited people to come to the village for a rest, taking the opportunity to build relationships, so that he could go to the town to make acquaintances and do things easily.
Li Qi looked at him, then at the surrounding villagers, and shook his head.
"I won't go today. I have to put up notices along the road and patrol again."
Bai Yunsong listened and wanted to invite again. Before he could open his mouth, the old patriarch interrupted him.
"Since Chief Li has official duties, we will not delay your inspection. The victims of the disaster have made a lot of noise recently, and the surrounding villages must be similar to ours. Chief Li personally led the team to visit and shocked the victims.
I don’t dare to make trouble anymore.”
Chief Li Qi looked at the old patriarch and cupped his hands, "Brother Bai, I haven't seen you for a long time. You seem to be in good spirits. Let's go back to town. Brother, just go find me and let's have a drink."
"Thanks to Elder Li, apart from being old, I'm still pretty strong. Now that I'm free, I'll go ask Elder Li for a drink."
"It's settled, let's go."
Li Qi laughed, turned the horse's head, and left with the people.
Seeing Chief Li leading the people to the official road, Bai Yunsong felt regretful, but thinking about his father's friendship with him, he was not too anxious. He turned around and waved to the villagers.
"You have all heard what Chief Li Qi said. The county is going to open a porridge shed. From now on, we will be clean. Let's all go back."
The villagers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"I can finally rest assured. I've been so worried these days that I haven't even had a good night's sleep."
"Yes, we only have this little ration at home, and we are worried that it will be stolen in the blink of an eye. The government has opened porridge shacks, and the victims have something to eat, so they don't worry about our little ration."
While everyone was rejoicing, the families who had been robbed walked to Baiyun Creek and Baiyun Mountain with expressions of gratitude on their faces.
"Thank you to my aunt and brother Yunshan for helping us get the food back."
"Yes, thank you Aunt Bai. You are bolder than us guys. Without my cooperation with Uncle Yunshan, we might not be able to keep our food supply."
Bai Yunxi watched them thanking her and waved her hands.
"We all live in the same village, so I'm happy to be able to do my best. Besides, I'm just going to talk. It's better for you and your cousin to cooperate."
"Hehe... Sister, you can't say that. You are a learned person and you use your brain. We have only a handful of strength, but our brains are not as good as yours."
The man said, scratching his head with a smile.
Baiyunshan looked at him and flicked his forehead rudely.
"You kid, you are used to talking. Okay, hurry up and send the food home so that your mother can feel at ease."
"Hey~,"
The refugees retreated, the villagers also went back, and Baiyunxi was about to go home. When he turned around, he saw his cousin with a gloomy face.
