Chapter 975 Is Silver Enough?
"Dad! Mom! Why couldn't you make it? We survived, we survived!"
"Sister, brother-in-law, Xiao Yuanzi will live well here."
"Fellow villagers, hurry up and drink some hot water and eat something. Let those who have passed away pass. Now that you have come here, you will have a good life in the future!"
""
This group of people who were crying uncontrollably came from a small village on the banks of the Lanjiang River in Chenzhou.
Like most people in Dajin, the villagers were caught off guard by the sudden drop in temperature. Fortunately, the villagers were hardworking and diligent, and they had enough food stored throughout the year to last them through the winter.
But no one expected that the weather would get colder and colder. Seeing that the situation was not right, the smart people in the village wanted to find other ways out in advance.
They went to the government, but the people in Chenzhou said they had no control over the matter and told them to leave it to fate.
Faced with life and death, who is willing to leave it to fate?
Just when this group of people were extremely anxious but at a loss, they accidentally heard someone talking about the lives of the people in Ezhou. They seemed to suddenly have a direction and began to inquire about the situation in Ezhou.
In fact, half a month ago, this group of people gathered the strength of the entire village and sent two people to secretly go to Ezhou to investigate.
After the Hubei Northern Army discovered the two people, they informed them of the current anti-cold measures in Ezhou and then repatriated them.
After that, things went smoothly. The whole village started preparing to move to Ezhou.
However, King Zhao issued a death order forbidding people from the six northwestern states to move to Ezhou, so these people had no choice but to set off quietly under the cover of night.
The distance from the wharf to Ezhou is the shortest road between Chenzhou and Ezhou. In order to avoid freezing to death on the way, these people had already decided to take the risk.
The only thing to be thankful for was that because the weather was too cold, there was no one guarding the Lanjiang Wharf at night. It was probably only a few people left watching in secret, which allowed them to set off from the Lanjiang Wharf.
But none of them expected that the temperature would drop again in the second half of last night. There were a total of 130 people in their village, but only a dozen of them made it to Ezhou in the end.
The experiences of these people moved everyone to tears, and the village that hosted them quickly reported the situation.
Ezhou's cold prevention measures are diverse, with various experts showing off their unique skills. Doctor Hu also contributed a new one, developing a warming pill that can generate heat from within the body.
Shen Qingqian was called in to study the prescription together and has been living in the army recently.
After talking things out with Sheng Ze, the relationship between the two of them warmed up a lot. Although no one said much, they were together most of the time as long as the situation allowed.
Sheng Ze took the official document sent from below, read it and handed it to Shen Qingqian, "Take a look too, it turns out that the situation we talked about before has appeared."
After Shen Qingqian read it, she smiled and said, "Then we can start the plan we made earlier."
Just like the last time when people from the six northwestern states fled to Ezhou, this time Sheng Ze and Zheng Shicheng thought of this without Shen Qingqian's reminder.
"Yes," Sheng Ze nodded, "Master Zheng is already making preparations, and it will probably start in the next two days."
Shen Qingqian pondered for a moment, then raised her eyes and couldn't help but worry, "Is a war about to start?"
Sheng Ze looked down at her, a flicker of helplessness in his eyes, "We have to hurry up. I can't take care of other places, but we still have to do our best to save as many people as possible in Chenzhou."
After taking Chenzhou, Chenzhou and Ezhou will become a community of interests, so it would be good if the people of Chenzhou could make fewer sacrifices.
"Do you have enough money?" Shen Qingqian suddenly asked.
