Sure enough, a commotion was heard at the hall entrance; people from the village had come looking for Li Jing.
"Young Miss!"
"Young Miss, please help us!"
"Young Miss, what should we do?!"
......
Li Jing comforted the wounded and went outside.
With nothing else to do and because Li Jing had been taking care of them, the Song family members moved closer and stood behind Li Jing.
"Uncle, Auntie, don't rush, speak slowly..."
Li Jing comforted him.
The Li people were initially startled, but after calming down slightly, the person standing at the front said:
"Miss, let's get up early this morning and go find Young Master Lin Sen."
I want to receive fodder and food subsidies for building a hut...
But Young Master Lin Sen flatly refused, saying that they had already distributed relief fodder and food to everyone after the typhoon a couple of days ago, and there was none this time...
But the thatched roof we received two days ago, which we just used to repair the roof, was blown away by the typhoon yesterday...
The village promised relief, but there was no time limit. They said that because the two typhoons were so close together, they wouldn't distribute the aid!
If the village doesn't help us this time, won't we be left exposed to the sun and rain, our farmland destroyed by trees and chaos, and our families without any food reserves...?
We're just going hungry!
Li Jing understood. Lin Sen had set up a checkpoint and was not distributing thatch and food for roof repairs, leaving the tribesmen at a loss.
The man spoke clearly, and the Song family understood.
Li Jing asked, "Did you ask the deputy clan chief?"
Ultimately, Lin Sen was only assisting Lin Hong in managing the village, but he did not have any specific management authority.
"We've been there! We've all been there!"
The Li man's voice was agitated, "We can't see the deputy chieftain at all; we're being kept outside..."
The deputy chief's wife said that the deputy chief was unwell and unable to receive guests.
We said a few more words and begged the lady to let us in, otherwise many people would go hungry today...
But the lady scolded us and kicked us all out!
Li Jing frowned. More and more people were gathering. Li Jing asked, "Have you eaten anything for breakfast?"
The people in front of him all shook their heads.
They were the poorest in the village; if they had even a little food, they wouldn't have rushed to the front and displeased the deputy clan chief...
I can't go on living!
Li Jing turned around and handed over a large taro that the wounded soldier had just given her.
Let each person in front of you take a few bites.
Song Chenghou turned his head, and the eighth brother, Song Chengxi, with quick eyes and hands, returned to the hall and brought out the large sweet potatoes and taro that the wounded soldiers' families had given him that morning...
As they walked out, Jiang Xinyu followed and pressed the sweet potatoes in his hand into Song Chengxi's hand.
Song Chengxi brought over sweet potatoes and taro, and distributed them without waiting for Li Jing's instructions.
Seeing this, the seventh brother, Song Chengyao, helped distribute the goods.
The Li people were flattered and somewhat embarrassed.
Staring blankly at the sweet potatoes and taro in his hand, he looked at Song Chengxi and Song Chengyao, then at Li Jing...
Her lips moved, unsure of what to do.
"Eat up! This was given to you by people from your village."
They gave us some when they visited the wounded.
"It's clean, there's no poison, you can eat it without worry."
Song Chenghou's warm voice rang out.
The Li people felt even more ashamed of their accusations against the Dayin people yesterday.
Stand with the witch doctor and deputy chieftain, question them, and treat them unkindly...
But now, in their dire straits, these people of the Great Yin are actually willing to give away their last remaining food...
They may not understand grand principles, but they do know the meaning of gratitude and repaying evil with good.
"Eat up! We can talk while we eat."
Li Jing looked gratefully at the people behind him, then turned back and patiently spoke to his tribesmen.
Following the young lady's instructions, the Li people then began to act.
I got quite wet yesterday, and I was filled with fear and anxiety. After a whole night of this, I was really hungry.
Without even peeling them, they put the sweet potatoes and taro directly into their mouths.
Li Jing's expression relaxed slightly, and he asked them, "Have you been taking care of your father?"
What did the clan chief say?
After swallowing a few mouthfuls, the Li man said, "We've spoken to the clan chief..."
The clan chief was not present; I heard he had just come down the mountain to personally investigate the situation below and make arrangements to restore farmland, clear mountain roads, and ensure safety on the mountain.
Limu Mountain covers a large area, spanning four prefectures, with its main mountain range located in Yazhou.
Li Jing understood that since his father was going to investigate personally, he wouldn't be back for at least two hours...
The tribesmen had no other choice but to bring him here to find them.
"Young Miss, what should we do?"
"Yes! Miss, we're all counting on you!"
......
After finishing their food, the Li people all looked at Li Jing.
