Chapter 281: Surrender
The arrival of Jiang Goudan and his group disrupted the progress of Shen Qingqian and his group in rebuilding the house.
When Shen Qingqian and Wu arrived at the entrance of the valley, Jiang Goudan and others had already started greeting others.
"Goudan, why did you come here with your family? What happened?" Someone asked curiously as they looked at Jiang Goudan and others' luggage.
Jiang Goudan smiled bitterly, "We are here to seek refuge with you."
"Why are you joining us?" Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Shen Shan frowned and asked, "Brother Jiang, you all know our situation, where does the word 'surrender' come from?"
Seeing that it was the Third Young Master of the Shen Family who was speaking, Jiang Goudan's expression became more respectful. "Third Young Master, you may not know that we arrived in Lanjiang County and after some inquiries, we did not find the acquaintances that Third Young Master mentioned."
Jiang Goudan and his group were refugees. Northern Hubei had experienced a drought and there was no surplus food anywhere. It was almost impossible for them to settle down.
The situation in northern Hubei is special, and the vigilance and precautions against outsiders are particularly serious. Jiang Goudan and others were like headless flies and couldn't settle down for more than half a month.
When they separated from Shen Qingqian and others, Li Laosan gave them a month's rations. Seeing that the food was almost gone, but they didn't even have a place to stay, Jiang Goudan was extremely anxious.
At this moment, Mrs. Lu suggested going to Linshuigou to find Shen Qingqian and the others.
After internal discussions and several days of struggle, Jiang Goudan finally led seven families on the road to Linshuigou.
They walked slowly with their families, and one of their children fell ill on the way, which delayed them for a few more days. They finally arrived at Linshuigou today.
Jiang Goudan and his group went in another direction, so they met Shen Qingqian and his group at the entrance of the valley.
"Everyone, we really have no other choice but to come to you. It's really..." Jiang Goudan sighed, not knowing how to start.
If it were just him, he could make a living anywhere, but there were seven families in their group, more than fifty people in total, old and young, and it was not easy to support them.
In addition, Jiang Goudan had the audacity to bring people here because he had seen Shen Qingqian and his gang's ability to survive and the power of unity on the mountain before.
Sheng Ze and Shen Xiao were not here, and Wu Shi did not come forward at this moment, so Jiang Goudan's eyes naturally fell on Shen Shan.
"Third Young Master, I wonder if you can show us a way out?" Jiang Goudan and his group all looked at Shen Shan expectantly.
Shen Shan frowned, and after a while he replied, "Brother Jiang, it's not that we don't want to help, it's just that our current status is..."
He wanted to refuse directly, but when he saw the old people and children behind Jiang Goudan all looking at him with hope, Shen Shan paused and then spoke again, "How about this, you guys come back with me first and see if my eldest brother and the others have any ideas."
Jiang Goudan and others were penniless and had almost run out of food. If they were asked to go back, they would probably starve to death before they could even get halfway. Not to mention that there was the Lanjiang River between northern Hubei and Chenzhou, and they simply couldn't cross it.
After all, they had shared joys and sorrows, so Shen Shan couldn't bear to completely refuse.
"Third brother, you still have work to do here, so let me take Brother Jiang and the others back." Shen Qingqian suddenly stood up and said.
Shen Shan and the others had tasks to do, and if they failed to complete them, it would delay the progress, but Shen Qingqian's work was easier and he had finished it long ago.
"Okay, then I'll have to trouble Sixth Sister." Shen Shan agreed without thinking.
Shen Qingqian led Jiang Goudan and the others to their residence. On the way, Mrs. Lu pulled Jiang Dazhuang over and said, "Sixth Miss, could you please take a look at my Dazhuang?"
