Everyone was already somewhat awed by the immortals, and with the addition of a faceless little green man holding a sword standing beside them to intimidate them, they didn't even dare to breathe, and the team was lined up in such an orderly manner.
They hadn't eaten or drunk anything for several days, and hadn't defecated for three or four days. The toilet was almost full of shit.
Who would dare to cause trouble when there is food to eat? What if the immortal is angered and he takes back the reward? Wouldn't that be a loss?
The children looked at the people in front of them drinking porridge with their eyes wide open, their dry little mouths constantly swallowing saliva.
The hands holding the ceramic bowl couldn't stop shaking, and the stomach that had been numb from hunger now felt a strong sense of hunger again.
The children's thin bodies were shaking slightly, as if they were about to faint from hunger at any time.
The shoes on the children's feet were already worn out, with only some dirty cloth hanging on their feet.
Some children's soles were worn so badly that every time they walked, they left bloody footprints...
Lin Yiran felt so distressed when she saw this that when it was the children's turn to drink porridge, she made the porridge a little thicker.
The children held the porridge in their thin hands, their eyes shining, and slurped it.
The hundred or so people in Zhujia Village soon had white porridge to drink.
Looking at the white rice in the bowl, the people couldn't stop crying.
This person is truly a bodhisattva-like immortal, and he actually gave them fine grains to eat.
After Lin Yiran distributed the white porridge, while everyone was watching the people drinking the porridge, she quietly put a pot of sweet potatoes into the pot.
A clay pot can’t hold many sweet potatoes, but who can blame the Xiao family for thinking that this clay pot is a treasure?
When she took the sweet potatoes out of the pottery jar, she took them directly from the space, giving each person two sweet potatoes.
Sweet potatoes can quench thirst and resist hunger when eaten raw. They should be eaten sparingly as long as they can last until they reach Brahma City.
The quality of this group of people is quite good. If they are recruited into the Xiao family army and trained well, they can also be a good team.
After the people in Zhujia Village finished drinking the white porridge, they looked at each other, their eyes full of desire for life.
Zhu Changshou knelt down first, and under his leadership, all the villagers of Zhujia Village knelt down around the three-wheeled vehicle.
"Thank you for saving my life, Immortal. We are willing to work like slaves to repay you..."
"Thank you, Immortal... Thank you..."
“........”
Zhu Changshou raised his hand, and the grumbling villagers instantly shut up.
He cleared his throat and it didn't hurt as much as before.
He looked up at Lin Yiran with gratitude, then kowtowed deeply.
"I thank the immortal for the white porridge, but it can only alleviate the villagers' current difficulties. The drought will not be alleviated for a while. What should I do next...
"I beg the immortal to help the villagers of Zhujia Village find a clear path..."
They can still distinguish between one meal being full and the next.
It would be great if I could follow an immortal.
But this was just his delusion. There were so many people in Zhujia Village, so why would an immortal need so many people following him?
It is already a great fortune for them to meet the immortal.
But not everyone can meet an immortal. With the immortal guiding them, they will have a peace of mind.
Lin Yiran sighed lightly and looked towards the mountains in the distance.
"You shouldn't go any further south. The journey south is long and it's hard to say whether you can make it there alive."
"Don't even bother going to the capital. You can't even get through the city gates. They don't accept refugees..."
"Although there are several large mountains next to Dongmen City, the outer mountains are already barren and yellow, with nothing to eat. Only in the deep mountains are there some greenery..."
"As for the deep mountains, don't even think about it. Not to mention the hungry beasts in the mountains, even the snakes, insects, rats and ants there will be enough for you to endure."
"Going deep into the mountains will only feed the wild beasts. You should go back."
"Going back?" Zhu Changshou looked at Lin Yiran in surprise.
He was a little confused about what the immortal meant.
The further we go back, the more severe the drought becomes. Are we just going back to die?
The immortal meant that they didn't need to bother and could just go back and wait to die?
The villagers of Zhujia Village all looked at Lin Yiran in confusion, not understanding what the word "immortal" meant.
"That's right." Lin Yiran nodded and said in a strong voice,
"You should go directly to Brahma City and join the Xiao Family Army. As long as there are able-bodied men in your family who can serve in the Xiao Family Army, the Xiao Family Army will guarantee you food and drink. I can't say you will have enough food and warm clothes, but at least your whole family will not starve to death..."
As soon as Lin Yiran finished speaking, all the Xiao family members turned to look at her in shock.
Xiao Yunzhan's eyes flashed with fanaticism, and Lin Yiran's thoughts coincided with his.
Emperor Wu of Liang was indeed not worthy of sitting on the throne.
The reason why he went to Brahma City was to join forces with the Xiao family army and rebel against Emperor Wu of Liang in one fell swoop.
Old Madam Xiao moved her lips twice, but didn't utter a word.
What the girl means is...that she wants to lead the Xiao family in rebellion?
Emperor Wu of Liang was incompetent and tyrannical, making life miserable for the people. Using this as an excuse to rebel was a legitimate cause.
Just let them rebel. In their current situation, they have no way to survive if they don’t.
The eldest sister-in-law opened her mouth wide under the mask, and the fourth brother's wife was so brave.
Others rebelled secretly, but she recruited soldiers in public.
My second sister-in-law's eyes lit up with excitement.
My goodness, she absolutely supports her fourth brother’s wife to become the empress.
The third sister-in-law's eyes suddenly narrowed.
Will others notice what my fourth brother’s wife is doing?
The pupils of the villagers in Zhujia Village suddenly widened, and they looked at Lin Yiran in disbelief.
What does the immortal mean---what does it mean?
The word "rebellion" kept spinning in their minds.
Then why is it the Xiao family army?
Wasn’t the Xiao family confiscated and exiled?
Is it okay for them to join the Xiao family army?
Zhu Changshou took a deep breath, raised his head and looked at Lin Yiran in despair, his eyes filled with deep powerlessness.
"Your Excellency, you may not know that we, the common people, have fled all the way here from Pinghe City. The drought in various cities is very serious. I heard that the drought in Brahma City is even more severe..."
"Besides, Brahma City is very far away from here. We common people don't have any food, so we probably can't reach Brahma City."
"Don't blame me, Immortal. It's not that we ordinary people don't want to listen to your advice, it's just that we are powerless..."
He didn't care who wanted to rebel or be emperor. Whoever could let them survive would be their emperor.
They listen to whoever feeds them.
