The village chief was also very confused about his future.
He thought for a while, cleared his throat, and said, "As you all can see, we now have only two choices: either wait in the mountains until the flood recedes, or flee. Whether to flee south or north is also a question. What are your thoughts? Tell me."
"How can we flee from famine? Our Jiang family's roots are all in Shili Village. How can we be worthy of our ancestors if we really flee from famine?"

In the end, they were narrowly defeated by the troops sent by the imperial court.
The situation was not so bad that they had to flee, and staying in Fuyun Mountain was also a way out, so they didn't say anything.
