At daybreak, Gu Qinglang brought five horse-drawn carriages, accompanied by more than a dozen men in black with swords. Each man carried two bags of grain. With the help of Song Yuehua and others, in a short while, all five thousand kilograms of grain were loaded onto the carriages.

"Let's go back with them." Gu Qinglang said to Song Yuehua and others with a smile.

After locking the Li family's door again, everyone took Gan Changming and his family of three and got on the Gu family's escort team's carriage and returned to the village together.

More than a dozen men in black holding knives walked in front, clearing the way for the others. Even from a distance one could sense the strong murderous aura, so no one dared to get close.

Song Yuehua whispered to Zhang Rushan, "See? This is called a sense of security."

Zhang Rushan nodded and said, "That's apt. It's been a long time since I've been protected like this. It feels really good."

Ji understood him at a glance and said, "Have you forgotten who was hiding behind the door and being protected last night?"

"I dare not forget, I dare not forget. As soon as I close my eyes, brother Ji's heroic figure will appear before my eyes. How dare I forget it?" Zhang Rushan bowed repeatedly.

Ji Ming, "..."

Erguotou, who had been planning to make a joke, shut up on his own accord. He felt that what Zhang Rushan had just said was not a good thing.

"I'd like to test the strength of this group of people." Jin Shaoyang stared at the man in black walking in front.

Song Yuehua said, "Don't worry, there are only two people in this world who can surpass Master Duan in Kung Fu."

Jin Shaoyang didn't say anything else. Ji Ming nodded and said, "It's very likely."

Instead, Zhang Rushan glanced at Song Yuehua and said nothing.

Gou Wazi chuckled and said, "We brought back so much food this time, so we don't have to go hungry."

Fortunately, there is someone with a simple mind.

When they returned to the village entrance, Song Yuehua and others shouted to the people on the village wall, and the gate was opened. Zhou Dafu was stunned at first, but when he saw the bags of grain being carried in the carriage, he suddenly became excited and hurriedly called on the villagers to carry the grain together.

Gan Changming's originally bitter face relaxed a little after he saw the high wall at the entrance of the village. Song Yuehua brought the three members of the Gan family in.

Originally, the Gan family was hiding at home, but they ran over and dug them out. This act was somewhat like forced buying and selling, so Song Yuehua felt guilty and took the initiative to bring the people to the school.

There were four kang rooms in the school. Several students from the compound lived in one, and Ding Cuigu, Wen Xiaohua, and Grandma Lan also lived in one.

The three members of the Gan family can just fit in one room.

When they arrived at the school, Song Yuehua asked Wei Da to send 200 kilograms of corn to the clan, while she took Gan Changming's family to choose a kang room.

Song Yuehua said enthusiastically, "I see that Young Master Lingli must be studying in school. Since he happens to live in the school, why don't we go to class together?"

Gan Changming looked alert and asked, "How much silver will this cost?"

"No need for money, the school is mine. You will eat, live and study here, so don't worry." Song Yuehua said.

Hearing this, Gan Changming's face relaxed a little. He then looked around the entire school carefully. It was clean and tidy. He had just passed by the front yard and saw quite a few students. It was a good thing that Shou'er could continue his studies.

Mrs. Gan gently pulled Gan Changming's sleeve and nodded slightly.

Both his wife and Shou'er were satisfied. Gan Changming let out a long sigh and then spoke to Song Yuehua, "I hope the young lady can keep her promise and protect my family."

It seemed he was happy to stay.

Song Yuehua felt relieved, and suddenly thought of the staircase between the two walls. She asked Gan Changming what was down there. Gan Changming scratched his head unnaturally and said, "Miss, it's better not to go there..."

Song Yuehua, "..."

After school, Xie Yu passed the Ganshou exam and was placed in Class D.

As far as Song Yuehua knew, Gan Shou had studied at Bailu Academy for two years, but was somehow placed in Class D.

During dinner, Xie Yu explained the reason. Gan Shou's academic performance was acceptable, so it was okay for him to be placed in Class C.

She asked Gan Shou himself if he was willing to study in Class D first and then go to Class C after three months, and he agreed.

Song Yuehua recalled Gan Shou's look and said helplessly, "Explain this to Gan Changming and Gan Shou himself. That kid may not be good at rejecting people. Don't let people misunderstand."

Xie Yu was stunned for a moment before agreeing.

That night, just as Dabao and Xiaobao finished their homework, Song Yuehua called them to the kitchen to line up to wash their faces. While they were rubbing their faces, Zhou Lizheng, Zhou Dafu and Lin came over.

Song Yuehua was startled and asked, "But what happened?"

Zhou Dafu put 200 kilograms of corn into the kitchen. Zhou Lizheng said, "Today I asked Rushan and learned how difficult it was for you to transport the grain this time. You shouldn't have paid for the rice, nor for the silver."

Lin placed the package in her arms on the table and said, "Dad distributed the silver to every household. He spent a long time calculating and collecting it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have waited until now to come here. Yuehua, take a look."

Song Yuehua smiled embarrassedly, but she didn't say no. After returning to the village, she was only concerned with arranging for the three members of the Gan family. Besides, the 200 kilograms of corn were indeed for private use, so it was not easy for her to take it for free.

The bundle contained 40 strings of copper coins.

"More..." Song Yuehua said.

Zhou Lizheng explained, "Although this family brought their own food, you arranged for them to go to school and live with you for free, which is troublesome. The extra five taels of silver is nothing. Just consider it as some compensation from the village."

Since Grandpa Zhou was willing, Song Yuehua did not refuse.

Zhou Dafu also smiled and said, "Boss, next time you need to transport grain, call on the men in the village. I don't believe that all the men in the village can't even protect a few carts of grain."

"Is it so easy to find food?" Zhou Lizheng shouted, "Think about it, when all the food is eaten up and it doesn't rain, what will happen to our village?"

This time we have 5,000 kilograms of grain. If we use it sparingly, it will be enough for the whole village to eat for a few months.

But if the food is eaten up and it doesn't rain, the villagers can only eat their own stored food until their own food is eaten up.

Song Yuehua thought that if that really came to the point, she would have no choice but to take the little ones with her into the mountains.

Now that everyone in the village can have food to eat, everything is fine. But if the whole village is starving and only your family is well fed, then you are seeking death.

In the following days, Zhou Ergui led the entire village to reinforce the walls. In addition to studying the crossbow with Duan Yidao and Zhao the blacksmith in the courtyard, Song Yuehua would also go to the top of the wall to guard the village.

One day, Song Yuehua came over the wooden bridge and just climbed onto the top of the wall, she saw a bronze mirror passing by in a man's hand.

The bronze mirror reflected light, and the man kept using it to shine something far away. Song Yuehua watched from behind for a while.

The man seemed to have noticed something and was about to leave with a smile. Song Yuehua winked at Wei Da behind her, and Wei Da stepped forward and pinned the man down.
