After dinner, without waiting to rest, Bai Zhiyue and King Qi planned to go to the next stop.
"We cleared the way into the city when we came here. You can go into the city if necessary."
"Thank you for your help. If it weren't for you, I don't know how many people we could have rescued."
"We are here to help, no need to thank us. The village head can take a count of the things you are in urgent need of. We will keep some for you, as we will go to other villages later."
"What we need urgently are some winter clothes. Many people were in such a hurry to escape that they didn't have time to take out their clothes. Most of them are stuck in their houses wearing only thin clothes and unable to go out. If you have enough, please leave some winter clothes for us and a few doses of medicine for these people to take care of themselves.
We'll search again in the next couple of days, and we should be able to find more edible and useful things."
"OK"
This man was quite honest and did not ask for more things. Bai Zhiyue and King Qi discussed leaving some winter clothes and medicinal herbs for the village, and also left enough food for 200 people a day.
After doing all this, we rushed to another place overnight. Time was very tight. There was no other way. If we didn't hurry, we would not be able to save many people.
The other village was not far from here, and it took them two hours to travel along the road.
It was already midnight when we arrived, and the people assigned there were doing their best to search and rescue.
Doudou came in handy again. He quickly walked through all the locations, and wherever he pointed, he was sure to rescue a living person.
This move shocked all the villagers. Fortunately, the palace guards had already seen it before.
"No wonder you brought the young marquis here. He plays an important role here!"
"Well, he has had a strong ability to sense auras since he was young. This time he came out to save more people and reduce unnecessary waste of time."
"So that's how it is. The young marquis is blessed."
The King of Qi did not ask further questions about the strangeness of the Bai family mother and son.
In this way, two days passed without any rest or sleep, and some people could rest for an hour or two. In total, they visited more than ten villages and rescued hundreds of people.
When there were no more people to rescue, he took people to help clean up the area, search for usable supplies under the snow and rubble, and help build access roads to the villages so that the victims could go out and seek more resources.
On the fourth day, the place they arrived at was already very remote, and the distance between villages was getting farther and farther.
So everyone was divided into ten teams and moved separately.
Bai Zhiyue's team marched to a village near the mountain.
The road to the village was too difficult to travel, and the carriage could not move forward. As the supplies were dwindling, they abandoned the carriage, packed the items onto the horses, and each person carried some on their backs, and walked to the village.
Because it is located close to the mountain, the houses in the village mostly have stone foundations to protect them from wild beasts. They are relatively stable and most of them are damaged by top pressure, with fewer wall collapses. However, if a collapse occurs, the casualties will be the most severe.
The number of deaths in this village is relatively high, but the number of injuries is relatively low.
The most difficult thing for them was that they couldn't get out. It was white everywhere and they couldn't get out of the mountain. The food they stored would eventually run out.
What is even more frightening are the wild beasts in the mountains. With such heavy snow, they have nothing to eat. When they have nothing to eat, they will go down the mountain. Then the whole village will be in danger and there will be no way to escape.
Everyone was gathered together to discuss the possibility of setting off together.
"The road is too dangerous. If you miss a step, you might fall into the ditch. The snow is so thick that you won't be able to find it even if you bury yourself in it."
"Not only is it hard to find the right way, but if we encounter wild animals along the way, there's nowhere to hide."
"But if we don't leave, we're just going to be surrounded and eaten by wolves. You can hear them howling, getting closer day by day. Maybe they'll come down the mountain and into the village tonight."
"Not only wolves, I also saw black blind men appear!"
"It's neither right to leave nor to stay. It's a dead end either way. Woo woo woo, my little treasure is only four years old!"
"My husband is gone, and there are only the three of us left. We can't let the Liu family die out!"
People kept crying and cursing the heavy snow.
"I think we should all live together in these two courtyards. The men should bring hoes and shovels, and those who have bows and arrows should bring them. We should take turns to keep watch at night. We should light a few more fires outside the courtyards, and beat gongs and pots if we see any wild animals. As long as the group of animals is not too large, we should be able to deal with it."
"They might be scared at first, but after being surrounded for too long, this little noise won't scare them at all. We don't have enough bows and arrows, and with only a few farm tools, it's no use. We'll be trapped to death. Wolves are the most patient."
"So what do you guys say we should do?"
Just when everyone was worried and at a loss, someone discovered them.
"Look, someone is coming. Why aren't they soldiers? Aren't they here to rescue us?"
"Could they be bandits?"
"Is it really God's will that we perish?"
Bai Zhiyue saw some villagers guarding the wall of a house, peeking out, so she asked the palace soldiers to make a call.
"Are you villagers from this village? We are here to help with disaster relief!"
"Li Zheng, someone is coming, we are saved!"
Wang Lizheng saw that this group of people did not look like officials, so he asked,
"Which government office sent you here? Why have I never seen you before?"
"We are from the mansion of Lord Rongfu. This is Lord Rongfu, who came out specifically to help with disaster relief."
He pointed to the food and winter clothes he was carrying on his back.
The village head then led everyone out
"Are you really from the Duke's Mansion?"
It’s not that he doesn’t want to believe it, he’s afraid of encountering bandits. Everyone in this village is behind him.
Bai Zhiyue also noticed his cautious mood, so she took out the gold medal bestowed by the emperor, which was the most effective.
