"Someone actually saw it, what should we do now?" Niu San clapped his hands, feeling extremely guilty.
He checked for so long and still didn't find that one of the people was pretending to be asleep!
"Should we threaten him to stop him from telling anyone?"
Niu San sounded annoyed.
Cui Ying shook her head and said softly, "Once they come to the desolate county and learn that blessing can grant them abilities, they won't be able to leave. Even if they see it, it won't be a big problem."
"From now on, we will all be followers of the Mountain Goddess!"
Upon hearing this, Niu San shuddered. Luckily, he switched sides in time and pledged allegiance to the Mountain Goddess, otherwise he would have surely met a tragic end!
Everything in this world is inseparable from the Mountain Goddess. How much water must have gotten into his head before he thought that the legendary Mountain Goddess was just fooling people!
"Madam Cui, please have a seat!" Niu San diligently wiped the snow off a stone and laid a soft cushion on it.
If it weren't for the rule against men and women touching each other, he would have knelt down behind this big shot and given him a back massage!
"Stop fussing over it, you should go and rest too. I often patrol at night, and even if I stay up all night, I'm not too tired. I'll keep watch today." Madam Cui waved her hand.
Niu San didn't dare to disobey at all, so he tiptoed over and quietly went to sleep.
Two days later, a group of people arrived in the desolate county, where Xu Rurong and her men were already waiting.
"Are you the new workers? Accommodation has been arranged for you. As long as you are willing to work in the wasteland, it can be provided to you free of charge."
"But it's agreed that once you leave, these houses will no longer belong to you!"
"If you can work in this remote county for a year, we can sell these houses to you at a discount..."
Xu Rurong waved again, and County Magistrate Chen stepped forward to explain the treatment offered in Huang County.
Compared to Niu San's introduction, County Magistrate Chen's regulations were more detailed and offered more benefits.
The group of people who were brought over were dazed and couldn't believe that they had been taken in and were even being given free meals.
At night, a group of refugees, having eaten and drunk their fill, put on clean work clothes, went to their assigned rooms, crawled into their blankets, and felt as if they were dreaming.
"Father, can we really live here forever?" The woman on the bed was still in a daze.
"Since the magistrate of Huang County has said there will definitely be no problem, let's settle down here with peace of mind. There will be many good days ahead!"
Thinking about the meal he had that night, the man licked his lips, savoring the memory.
How come I've never heard of Huangxian before? A county with so much delicious food shouldn't be unknown!
It's okay, he won't leave again! If those rebels come, he'll fight them to the death for his house, his job, and all this delicious food!
"This life is like a dream. Just a few days ago we were stopped outside the city gate and almost froze to death. Today we have a house, a job, and food to eat," the woman murmured to herself.
That's right, she also found a job in this county town, and the food there is just as good as what her husband eats!
"I hope that damned rebels will be subdued by the imperial court soon, so that we can all live a good life from now on."
"Mountain Goddess, please bless us."
Before going to sleep, the woman prayed fervently in her heart.
However, the room next door was completely silent.
Jiang Le ate until his belly was round and lay happily on the bed. He turned his head and saw his older brother's deep face.
"Brother, what's wrong? You didn't even eat much today. It's so delicious, it shouldn't be like this!" Jiang Le had noticed before that his older brother really liked roasted sweet potatoes and roasted potatoes, so why did he eat all the potato shreds and sweet potato porridge today?
"You don't understand. Let me think about it carefully." Jiang Dashan looked troubled. Why did the woman in the desolate mountain not react at all when she found out that he was awake?
Are you planning to give him a final meal before you deal with the two brothers properly?
No, he absolutely cannot fall asleep tonight. What if that extraordinary person comes to kill them in the middle of the night? Both brothers will be dead!
"Brother, I'm going to sleep. You can figure it out yourself." Jiang Le turned over and fell asleep, snoring contentedly.
Jiang Dashan: "..."
This younger brother is completely unreliable!
It's okay, he'll carry it himself!
Jiang Dashan had a sudden inspiration and lay down as well, actually secretly squinting his eyes and observing the movements in the room all night.
The next day, when Manager Wang was greeting everyone outside, Jiang Dashan still couldn't fall asleep.
He was exhausted after staying up all night.
"What's going on? Why isn't that woman making a sound? That shouldn't be happening!" Jiang Dashan walked out with bloodshot eyes, completely baffled.
The carefree younger brother, however, smelled the familiar aroma, darted out, and shouted, "Mountain Goddess above!" and received two fragrant roasted sweet potatoes.
Jiang Dashan: "..."
Indeed, fools are often blessed!
Has this guy forgotten that they came to Qingzhou on a mission?
"Brother, aren't you going to eat some? This roasted sweet potato is even more delicious than the ones we've had before!" Jiang Le suddenly waved his hand.
"Here it comes, here it comes, you keep it for me!" Upon hearing this, Jiang Dashan immediately ran over, completely forgetting about the mission.
