It was not until the fifth day that Duan Yidao and Ji Ming returned from Xinan Village with the Lin and Zhou families.
Lin Lizheng's condition has temporarily improved. He needs to take good care of himself with medicine. Whether he can fully recover depends on himself.
During these few days, Duan Yidao took a few people back to Caiyun Village to search again.
Except for Lin Lizheng who was seriously injured, the rest of the Lin family were fine.
The eldest sister married and moved to the county town and was not at home. Lin's second brother ran to another village to exchange food and also escaped the disaster. The second brother's wife and two children hid in the stove hole, which was relatively secluded and was not discovered.
"Didn't Aunt Lin's second brother and his family come?" Song Yuehua asked.
Duan Yidao shook his head. "No, they wanted to resettle the remaining villagers. The couple stayed there and sent their two children here. They are now staying at Zhou Lizheng's house."
Ji Ming used his own family's quota to send the two younger children of the Lin family over, and the villagers would not have any complaints.
"Did you meet Jin Shaoyang and Wei Da? How are they?" Song Yuehua asked.
"No."
Song Yuehua thought that several people might have missed it.
Four or five days later, Jin Shaoyang and Wei Dacai returned exhausted.
Jin Shaoyang went straight back to Dongshan. Wei Da found Song Yuehua and said, "Miss, the four people are waiting for you at the door."
Song Yuehua guessed what it was about, nodded, called Wei Da, and listened to what they had been doing during the past few days.
"We have reached the refugees' hideout." Wei Da's words sounded terrifying as soon as he opened his mouth.
Song Yuehua paused and looked at him in disbelief, "What did you do?"
Originally, Wei Da and Jin Shaoyang escorted four people back to Caiyun Village, and found Niu Cai's wife and daughter in the pit of the toilet. Niu Cai's daughter, Niu Mei, was so frightened that she couldn't speak until now.
Zeng Zhi's family was not so lucky. His wife was raped and had her face scratched by the refugees. Zeng's father suffered some minor injuries, and Zeng Zhi's mother died on the spot after being stabbed.
Except for Tian Duo's daughter-in-law and son who were scraping tree bark on the mountain, the family's house and parents were all burned down in a fire.
Wu Datou's brother, sister-in-law and nephew are all still alive, they just suffered some minor injuries.
After burying the dead, they were about to return to the village when Jin Shaoyang suddenly asked, "Do you want revenge?"
"I do!" Tian Duo responded immediately.
The others also responded.
Jin Shaoyang said, "Women, find a place to hide first, men, grab your weapons, and go find those beasts together."
At this time, everyone was overwhelmed by hatred. Tian Duo also called a few men from the village, and they began to look for the trace of the refugees. They searched for eight days, and on the ninth day, they finally found the trace of the group of people.
Taking advantage of the night, the crowd quietly sealed off the sides of the dilapidated house and threw lamp oil into the house, burning the group of people and making them scream. The refugees who escaped were hacked to death by the farmers who rushed in.
The refugees were originally ordinary farmers. They were caught off guard for a moment, and with martial artists like Jin Shaoyang and Wei Da suppressing them, they had no power to fight back.
That night, everyone went on a killing spree, burning three or four people to death, killing more than a dozen people. They threw the bodies into the sea of fire, and when they burned until there was no sound, the people of Caiyun Village left.
Song Yuehua listened silently all the way. After hearing what Wei Da said, she asked, "Are they all dead?"
Wei Da nodded and said, "Dead."
At the entrance of the village, Niu Cai, Tian Duo, Wu Datou, and Zeng Zhi were anxiously waiting for Song Yuehua to arrive. After seeing the owner, more than a dozen people including their family members knelt down in front of her and said, "Please accept us. The village has been destroyed and we can't live here anymore."
The four of them have always worked hard at Dongshan and now that they are desperate, Song Yuehua naturally cannot just stand by and watch them die.
Song Yuehua said to the villagers guarding the door, "In addition to the four people working in Dongshan, there are still eight people and 16,000 kilograms of potatoes. I asked Ji Ming to think of a way. No matter how much money is, not a kilogram of potatoes will be less and they will be delivered to the big house of the clan."
"Okay, with Daya here, there's nothing to worry about. Open the door." The villager said to the people below.
Song Yuehua walked over to help lift the door up.
A few villagers who hadn't tried their best yet, "..."
Each family had 4,000 kilograms of potatoes, and Song Yuehua asked several people to sign a promissory note for 4 taels each.
Zhou Dafu helped a few people rent some empty houses in the village to live in. There was always work to do in the village, and as long as the work was done, the clan would distribute potato soup. But if someone couldn't work for personal reasons and there was no food stored, the village would be powerless to help.
Just in time, the wall of the compound was almost finished, so Song Yuehua gathered all the people from Dongshan together and told them the news of the temporary suspension of construction.
As compensation, each person was given 50 kilograms of corn and 200 kilograms of potatoes. Those who had no family could continue to live in Dongshan, and those who had family could live with their families.
A lot of people have been dismissed from the Guan family, and now there are only Tian who cooks, Gao Wazi who does odd jobs, and Old Man Ren left.
As for the Song family, although no one said it explicitly, they were mentally prepared. They didn't expect that the boss would let them stop working only now, and they could still get so much food. How could they have any complaints?
Who doesn’t have an elderly, weak, sick or young person in their family? These people who cannot work also need to eat. Now, let alone having money, even if you have money, you can’t buy food.
The boss's move is like timely help.
Liu Xue had weighed the grain early on, and after each worker came forward to take the grain, they would go to Song Yuehua to express their gratitude.
Finally, Liu Xue also prepared a bag for herself.
Song Yuehua smiled and said, "You don't have to."
