The people who chose to go out were a guy who looked like he loved to giggle, a deaf man, and a cripple.
And there are a few other people who seem to have some problems at first glance, but can work and support themselves.
When the villagers saw these people choosing to leave, they were not surprised at all.
"Just these eight people? Think it over. Don't regret it now."
The third in command glanced at the crowd, and after another period of hesitation, another twenty or so people walked out of the crowd.
Most of these twenty-odd people are older, and look to be around forty years old.
In other words, they know very well what they will face in the future, so after struggling, they still choose to go out and give it a try.
But most of the rest, those who were older or younger, just looked at each other, and no one was willing to take that step.
Xiushui smiled and shook her head.
“Human nature…when we don’t have freedom, we long for it, our hearts yearn for it.
But when it comes to making choices in life, how many people can bravely take that step and give up everything?
Unless pushed to a certain point, no one is willing to break free from their comfortable environment. This is human nature."
Therefore, Chinese people are easy to bully because they are content with the status quo and are unwilling to break it easily.
I always feel that if things break, there will be too much uncertainty. If things break, life might be even worse than it is now.
"That……"
"I, I'm willing to go out."
Surprisingly, two more pairs of siblings chose to stand up.
Looking at their determined eyes and the anxiety of their parents behind them, it is not difficult to see that making this decision is extremely difficult.
"Mom and Dad, we're willing to go out and explore the world. Even if we fail, at least we've seen the outside world. Living in this cramped place is indeed insecure, but we don't want others to control our freedom."
Four brothers and sisters with ordinary looks said extraordinary words.
Xiushui smiled.
So, this is also the advantage of Chinese people. No matter what the circumstances, there are always people who try to break the rules.
Even though the number of people is small, it has not become a completely stagnant pool.
"Alright, there are twenty-three people leaving, and three hundred and fifty people staying. Twenty-three of you will follow me to get the food."
The third in command pointed, and someone below asked again.
"Will the people we left behind be under the care of the Third Master from now on? What about the First and Second Masters? Why haven't they come out?"
The Third In Commander didn't answer, but simply glanced at the man with disdain. A dead man didn't deserve a reply from Meng Meng. Humph, she was a proud bandit leader.
Soon, the twenty-three people received their own twenty kilograms of food.
To their surprise, each of them was given an ingot of silver.
This was discovered by Xiushui Kindhearted, who decided to send it to them.
However, when distributing it, the third in command still said something with a sneer.
"It's really chaotic out there, and the world is dangerous. When you go out, it's best to walk together in a group.
As far as I know, many people fled to Liuhua Country to escape famine.
If you want to live a stable life, you can also consider going there.
Once you reach the countryside, you can be assigned fields and live a stable life, starting a family and a career. A friendly reminder: the world is in turmoil, so you must keep your food and money safe.
If you are not careful and someone robs you, you will cry your heart out."
After hearing this, the group of people hugged their food bags tightly. In fact, some of them had already regretted it. Fortunately, the few who joined later were also afraid, but they were still very determined.
"We, we are not afraid. It is better than being here and being in danger at any time."
The few people who had originally regretted it all relaxed after hearing this.
Yes, it is dangerous outside, but they can also work together as a group.
Some people were very smart and took the initiative to get close to Hei Mei and the other two people who looked easy to get along with, and began to inquire about the specific news outside.
Although Hei Mei had an arrogant attitude, she still answered every question.
"There's chaos outside, but the people in our village have banded together to fight the bandits and refugees... Any advice for you?
My suggestion is that if you see a village with security personnel, just follow them.
Generally speaking, as long as you don't get too close to others, they won't cause you any trouble.
It is certainly safer to follow such a team, and you will get to know them along the way. After you reach your destination, you may even be able to settle down with them.
After all, we are all refugees fleeing the war. It is easier to get things done with acquaintances than being assigned to a place where you are unfamiliar with the world..."
It must be said that Hei Mei spoke of these things in a very logical and coherent manner, and these twenty or so people kept nodding their heads as they listened to her, and their eyes were full of admiration when they looked at her.
In the end, this group of people even asked if they could be taken in and let them follow their team!
"You can go to our village, but the problem is, I'm actually in an unknown place now.
People in our village didn’t know where it was either, so I just followed my sister.”
Those who are more astute will give the answer instantly.
"Then we'll follow you."
It's safe for you to go with your sister, and it's also safe for us to go with you. There's no contradiction.
Xiushui didn't get involved in these things because she had too many things to do.
The remaining group of people definitely could not be allowed to stay here any longer, so she planned to knock them all out, and then have the hired animals carry them and throw them to the villages on the front line.
Why go to all this trouble?
1. To prevent the cult leader from finding them.
Second, she couldn't bring herself to kill so many people.
Third, the front line is the most dangerous. Sending these people there will make the best use of them and they may be able to help a little.
Fourth, she took a liking to this place and wanted to send a letter to her grandmother, asking her to bring the villagers here for a short rest.
That’s right, she had her eyes on this piece of land.
After learning from several top bosses, we learned that the boss only needed them to send people over on time.
There are still three months before the next trip, so they can rest here.
As for whether there is a time limit for going to Ryukyu Country?
I've inquired about it a long time ago, and there are no restrictions on going there, so it won't be a problem to go there in the past two years.
If you go too late, the land you get will be bad?
This was not within her consideration. After all, they were all refugees, and she didn't think they would be assigned to a good place.
Let the villagers rest here for more than two months, which is just right for her to guard and collect the food in the large fields. In addition, there are countless treasures waiting for her in this city of continuous mountains and forests.
With so many advantages and so many things to compare, staying and resting is what she wants to do most right now.
In fact, she had another purpose that she hadn't mentioned. She had taken a fancy to this place and wanted to wait for her grandmother to come over so that she could ask her if she could use this place as a base for the Wen family...
