Chapter 288: Rescue (1/2)



After learning about the Xu family's experience, Qian Chunhua was filled with emotion.

Qian Chunhua remembered clearly how Granny Xu and her family took care of her when she first came to Huangling.

If the Xu family is in trouble, I will definitely help if I can.

"Where is Grandma Xu now?" Qian Chunhua became anxious after hearing that Grandma Xu was sick.

"The resettlement site outside the city." Xu Tao was very smart. After hearing Qian Chunhua's question, he guessed Qian Chunhua's intention and was very excited.

Qian Chunhua didn't hesitate, "Take me to find them."

Qian Chunhua brought Butler Li and a few others with her. At this time, she was in need of people, and she needed Butler Li to help her settle the people from the Xu family.

Qian Chunhua and Zhang Yuyi were in two carriages, and everyone was squeezed in and sitting down.

Outside the gates of the capital city, a chaotic crowd surged like a tide.

The soldiers, holding weapons and with serious faces, stood guard among the crowd. Their eyes were sharp, always alert to possible riots.

The refugees were crowded together, making a lot of noise, and the carriages could hardly move forward in such an environment.

Qian Chunhua left Steward Li and a few others to accompany Imperial Physician Zhang and the others in the carriage, while he took Zheng Lin and followed Xu Tao's footsteps into the chaotic crowd.

The smell around was disgusting, caused by the dense crowds and the long period of not taking a shower.

However, despite the harsh environment, Qian Chunhua found that there was a glimmer of hope in the eyes of these refugees.

In the crowd, Qian Chunhua heard some refugees whispering.

"I heard that we were going to be relocated to a nearby village. God has finally given us a way to survive."

After hearing this, Qian Chunhua finally understood why there was light in these people's eyes.

After traveling to this era, Qian Chunhua had fought with many people, including some bad and lazy people like Zhao Yongqiang and Li Cuihong, but not many.

Most people want to survive through their own efforts.

The natural disasters of that year made them lose direction in their efforts.

After leaving their hometown, they unexpectedly found the capital city willing to settle them down, which gave them a way to survive.

After countless pushes and collisions, Qian Chunhua and his group finally arrived at Granny Xu's resettlement site.

They saw Granny Xu lying weakly on the ground, the ground was freezing cold in early winter, she was only covered with a thin mat and a thin quilt, and looked extremely weak.

Compared with when she was at Huanglingling, Granny Xu seemed like a different person.

Her face was pale and her body was thin, as if a gust of wind could blow her down. The two brothers Xu Jiang and Xu He silently guarded their mother's side, their eyes full of helplessness and despair.

They had already sold their three younger brothers, but the money they got was not enough to cure their mother's illness.

Now, their savings have been used up, and their mother's condition still shows no signs of improvement.

If they continued like this, they would have no choice but to watch their mother die in front of them.

Xu Jiang turned his head sadly and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hands that could no longer see the color.

His heart was filled with regret and helplessness. If they had known that leaving Huanglingling would have such an outcome, they might have stayed at home, as it would have been the same outcome anyway.

Qian Chunhua felt a surge of sadness in his heart as he watched this scene.

"Brother, look who's here." Xu Tao's voice reached Xu Jiang's ears.

Xu Jiang thought he was hallucinating. His brother had already been sold, so how could he come back?

Xu He turned his head and grabbed Xu Jiang's hand, "Brother, look, Xu Tao and the others are back."
