Chapter 130 Setting off again
"How is that impossible? All we've heard is that thief emptied the mansions of corrupt officials. When have we ever heard of her attacking ordinary people like us? Maybe this extremely powerful thief is actually a chivalrous thief who robs the rich and gives to the poor!"
"How about you tell me why these grains appeared here out of nowhere?"
"I think that's the truth. It seems that those who were emptied out are not good officials. They are all corrupt officials."
"Isn't it the case that the county magistrate of that county, who was rich but unkind, and allowed his son to commit murder, that's why his government office was emptied?"
“…”
The officials and the local villagers argued endlessly about this matter.
Liu Youran achieved his goal, covered his mouth with his hands and coughed twice.
"Alright, everyone, stop arguing about this. No matter who sent this food, since it's ours and it's helping us through this difficult time, we should just accept it. It's better to have it than not. The next thing we need to consider is how to use this food to get through this difficult time."
"Everyone, please line up now. Don't fight over the food. Everyone will be given some rice first. We will distribute it based on the number of people. Everyone should line up in an orderly manner. Don't take more than you want. This food must be distributed to every person affected by the disaster."
Under Liu Youran's organization, smoke rose from the camp, some people were cooking porridge, and some were distributing food.
Even the small change mixed in the grain bags was distributed one by one.
The villagers who received rice and silver all squatted down and covered their faces and cried. They thought they would be buried in the forest fire in Tongxinling, but they did not expect that they could be rescued and receive rice and silver.
You know, even the relief grain distributed by the imperial court was stale rice mixed with sand.
"Dad, we are saved. We have food and silver, two taels of silver. Now we can eat better than before. You finally don't have to worry about giving your child a full meal. Dad, open your eyes and look at us!"
Everyone was originally happy about receiving rice and silver, but when they saw a woman crying while holding her child, they couldn't help but think of their loved ones who had died in the fire, and their eyes became red.
The deceased are no longer with us, but the living have to continue living while bearing the pain of losing their loved ones.
Everyone lined up silently, mourning for their deceased relatives and villagers in their hearts.
Those whose homes were burned down, whose relatives passed away, or whose families suffered burns can all receive money.
The amount varies from two taels, five taels, to ten taels, depending on the casualties.
When the food and money were distributed to the last villager, there was still a lot left, which was all used to support those who had lost relatives or were seriously injured and were still recovering.
The exile team stayed in Tongxinling for a full five days, and only started to continue their journey after the situation was under control.
The nearby villagers came to see them off voluntarily, and they thanked the people who extended a helping hand to them in their most difficult times.
The day before the team left, the mother and son who caused the fire were found and burned to death by the villagers.
Even if the culprits are dead, those who were killed by them will never come back.
Those whose families were broken up because of them will have to spend their entire lives trying to heal the emotional wounds.
The burned girl we met at the beginning was fortunately found by her surviving relatives.
But her mother will never come back!
The horse-drawn carriage and the donkey-drawn cart passed through the charred forest and it took a long time before they saw green.
Xia Xing'er sat in the carriage to consolidate her cultivation. She did not neglect her practice during these days in Tongxinling.
She didn't expect that this trip to Tongxinling would allow her to accumulate a lot of merit points.
Jiujiu actually wanted to cheat me of my merit points for his own use. Fortunately, I was careful, otherwise I would have to work for Jiujiu.
She really didn't expect that the merit points were so useful. It made her practice more efficient. In just a few days, she advanced to a higher level.
She could clearly feel that she was just one opportunity away from reaching the Spiritual Transformation Stage from the Nascent Soul Stage.
The moon is dark and the wind is strong, and the shadows of the grass are swaying.
The Helian family, Lin Yuanfeng, and Master Xia II and the others just lay straight on the ground, their eyes dull and their faces pale. They didn't even want to move a finger?
Tired, so tired, they are really so tired!
When will this road of exile end? Do they really not want to cut through thorns and thorns to pave the way ahead anymore? Do they not want to be like beasts of burden anymore?
Even if you work like a cow or a horse, you still have dignity. But what about them? They are worse than cows and horses and have no dignity at all?
When they encounter a barren mountain, they are asked to walk in front and clear the way for them. The mountain road is difficult to walk on, and they have to carry things for the Xia family. Now the entire exile team is completely controlled by the Xia family, and even the officials completely respect the Xia family.
These people have become slaves, working like beasts of burden without any human rights and without any wages.
There are more than a hundred exiles in an exile group. Why are they the only ones living such a hard life? It is really unbearable to live like this.
Whenever they thought about waking up tomorrow and having to repeat the same life, they wished they could grow eight legs and twelve feet, or even better, a pair of wings so they could fly directly to the place of exile.
That place is not a place of exile at all; it is clearly heaven, their place of salvation. Only by reaching there as soon as possible can they end this miserable life of slavery.
The members of the Helian family were all covered in dust and had pale faces. If the people of Master Xia's family and Lin Yuanfeng and his group were at the bottom of the exile group, then the six members of the Helian family were at the bottom of the bottom.
They eat the worst food every day and do the most tiring work, just like servants who have signed a death contract, serving a whole family. Anyone can order them around and send them away at will.
Helian Rong and Ye Qingyu are better off. Helian Rong has her mother, and Ye Qingyu has her husband Helian Zhi.
Both of them let their mothers and husbands do their work.
In order to curry favor with the Xia family, everyone tried their best to bully the Helian family.
In the past, Helian Zhi was a general who had fought in the battlefield, and Ye Qingyu was the only female general in the Xuanyuan Dynasty, so they still had some concerns.
There were many people in the exile team who had fought on the battlefield with them.
But since I found out what they did, I am ashamed of them.
However, the people of the Helian family really value their lives. No matter what happens, they live as tenaciously as weeds.
Helian Zhi and his men originally thought that if there was another war on the border, Emperor Shunkang would definitely re-employ them, and then they could return to Beijing.
Now they no longer think about returning to the capital. They just want to survive. After all, it is better to live a miserable life than to die. They want to reach the place of exile alive.
