My points suddenly dropped to just over a million.

After leaving the room, Li Ruo took the two remaining tents to the yard and gave them to Da Yu, Yu An, Yu Guang's brother, and Chen He, who stayed in the yard to guard the area.

They live in the courtyard and don't go inside the house.

Li Ruo didn't tell Grandma Li and the others where she was going, only saying that she had some business with the people from Black Wind Village and might have to go for a day or two.

After all, the granary by the Ru River wasn't too far away.

Li Ruo, along with Lao Wang and Xiao Yu, secretly went to Black Wind Village to find Sun Ergou under the cover of night.

I thought it was quite far, but it turned out to be only a little over a thousand steps, which means it's only about 500 meters.

Li Ruo: ...So close yet so far, she has never gone inside.

The tall wooden gate was tightly closed, with the three characters "Black Wind Village" written on it in a bold, flamboyant style, as if afraid others wouldn't know about it, much like someone's own style.

Outside Black Wind Village, many disaster victims were squatting, their faces pale, lips white, and eyes black, but they were standing a little far away, probably because they were afraid of being hit by stones.

"Please, let us in!" they cried.

Black Wind Stronghold, which they previously regarded as a monstrous flood,

Black Wind Stronghold, which everyone used to hate,

After enduring four days and three nights of cold wind, cold rain, and hunger, it has now become a haven for refuge.

A burly man said, “I can hunt, I can chop wood, I can do a lot of rough work.”

A woman said, "I can clean, cook, and sew."

Several women flirted with the guards on the wall, saying, "Brother, we can help you too. We can even make your beds and warm your nests."

At first, they thought that the roughnecks of Black Wind Stronghold had never seen a woman before, and that women of their caliber couldn't be married for less than ten taels of silver.

Now that there's no need for a bride price, it'll be a matter of snapping your fingers and they'll come.

As a result... even when offered free, they refused to take it.

"Sister!" Sun Ergou, who was perched on the wall, spotted Li Ruo and ran down. "Why are you here?"

I saw Li Ruo being welcomed inside.

The other refugees drooled as they tried to climb up, but they were met with stones and arrows.

Li Ruo looked around but couldn't see clearly. Of course, she didn't recognize them either. She asked, "You didn't bring in any of them?"

She remembered that the female lead appeared around this time.
