Chapter 251 Departure
A group of people went up the mountain, An Shuyao prepared medicinal herbs at Hu's house, and waited for them to bring Bupleurum down.

If they just sit and wait, what awaits them is death.

The snow is deep, and the mountain is not easy to climb.

The villagers dug a short section of the mountain road and it was almost dark.

When I came back to eat a big pot of rice, I went back to my room to rest.

Their house is far away from the patient's house to prevent infection.

In the next few days, the patients had no medicine to take, and their condition began to worsen. An Shuyao would go in every day to persuade them not to give up easily, but to persevere. When the villagers on the mountain brought Bupleurum down, they would be saved.

An Shuyao looked at the gradually decreasing amount of rice in the rice jar, thought for a while and took out [-] catties of potatoes, which were easy to cook and would still fill her stomach.

I originally wanted to take it out to do business and sell it to Yuan Yi and the others, but I had to take it out first to survive this disaster.

An's mother has also been frowning these days. There are so many people in the village waiting to eat, and their An family has a large population, so it is a problem to have enough to eat.

It wasn't until An Shuyao took out the potatoes that she remembered the food she had harvested.

Mother An had never seen a potato before, so she hesitated holding the round potato: "How do you eat this thing?"

"Boiling, frying, and steaming are all fine. I thought I'd make mashed potatoes for you and fry some French fries after the first batch of potatoes came out. It seems that we have to wait until the village is stable."

With doubts, they did as An Shuyao said, washed the potatoes, put some salt and boiled them in a pot.

An Jingzhou is always at the forefront of eating, and he is always the first to try new products.

The freshly baked potatoes were a bit hot. He carefully peeled the skin and took a bite. His eyes lit up, and he gasped and said in a vague voice, "Well, it's so sweet and soft. It's delicious."

As he spoke, he took a few mouthfuls and picked up another one, and ate it with relish.

It was the first time for An's family to eat potatoes, and they felt it was a novelty for a while, but fortunately, the quantity was large enough, and they were basically full after eating two.

Then Aunt He, Gui Li and Yan Yu were in charge of delivering meals to those sick patients.

They went in wearing face towels, and when they came out, they had to heat the mugwort leaf water again to disinfect and sterilize.

As dusk approached, Mu Qingchen led the villagers down.

He happily pointed to the basket: "Sister-in-law, look, Bupleurum bupleurum has been found and buried in the snow. The bupleurum bupleurum in Anzhou is also resistant to cold, and it hasn't been damaged by the frost. I'm worried."

As long as the root of Bupleurum is fine, as long as it is not flooded, basically nothing will happen to its root.

An Shuyao breathed a sigh of relief: "Great, we're starting to make it now, and one can be cured, and you have to go to the mountain again tomorrow. The more Bupleurum bupleurum, the better."

She solemnly said: "Folks, we will definitely be able to survive this disaster. The meals have been prepared. You all go to wash and eat."

Unlike the porridge in the past, there is an ingredient they have never seen before on the table today. It is similar to sweet potatoes, but the taste is different from sweet potatoes. Anyway, it is delicious.

Some villagers began to wipe their tears while eating: "If there is no Mrs. Lu's family, can we survive this winter?"

Everyone was silent, the answer was obvious, without a settlement, they might not survive five days, and it has been almost half a month now.

Lin Hui said in a deep voice: "Yao girl is the savior of all of us. They all say that the grace of saving lives will be repaid by the spring. It is not too much for us to be their cows and horses in this life. We are all honest and conscientious people. , I should be able to distinguish right from wrong, I will swear allegiance to their family in the future, and I hope you will do the same, follow them, we will definitely not suffer, and maybe we can have a good start."

He turned to look at Lin He: "Uncle He, what do you think? Of course, I don't want to force everyone to obey An's family, and those who don't want to can quit. This time the treatment and food will not be missing, everyone. It’s just that if An’s family needs help with any business in the future, they may be excluded, this is just my personal idea, it has nothing to do with An’s family, and they don’t know what I think.”

Lin He was silent for a moment, then sighed and nodded: "An's family is not a thing in the pond. Their family may have a long history. My family is willing to follow her family. No matter where she goes, my family is willing to follow her for generations to repay the An family's success this time." Help out all you can."

"I'm not forcing you, just follow if you want. Instead of trusting high-ranking officials, I'd rather trust An Jia who brought us help."

Lin He's tone was full of disappointment. He always knew that all of them were abandoned by the court, and no one would care about their lives.

Everyone was silent, and then some people said one after another: "My family is also willing to follow. Anyway, being poor is a lifetime, so it's better to live with An's family."

"Yes, I would too!"

"Me too, I will never betray them."

"..."

After a circle, there was no disagreement. Lin He was very pleased: "Well, let's sign a contract, and every household will write their names on it. This is also the sincerity of our entire rock village. If anyone betrays, then don't blame me You're welcome."

The contract was written by someone who knew how to write in the village, and everyone signed it. When it was Li Yuanniang's turn, she hesitated. Although she was very grateful for the An family's help, her son was going to be the champion in the future. What's the difference.

And because of the heavy snow, her son didn't come back from the county, and she didn't want to sign a copy behind his back. How could her son be subservient to others.

Lin He soon realized and did not force her.

This was his own wish, so the Li family was excluded.

The next day, Lin He brought the healthy villagers to show An Shuyao this contract.

An Shuyao was shocked after reading the content. Some were written on it, and some were fingerprinted. It was densely packed.

"What are you doing?"

Lin He knelt on the ground first, and the villagers behind him also knelt, and they all said in unison: "From now on, the people in our rock village will be at your disposal, without any second words, without any second thoughts, and swear allegiance to the death!"

The An family did not expect that everyone in Rock Village went to defect, seeing An Shuyao's silence.

Lin He was afraid that she would not agree, so he straightened his back: "Miss Lu, just promise us, we have no culture, but we have strength, we can do whatever you want us to do, plant land if you want, move things, Even if you want us all to move out of Rock Village, we have nothing to say, we no longer trust the court, and only your family is the driving force behind our survival."

Lin He burst into tears as he said that, too much happened during this time, and they lived peacefully for most of their lives, and they are not reconciled to this kind of ending in the end!

"Miss Lu, just promise us."

An Shuyao stood where she was, and with a glance, the villagers were all kneeling.

She took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Okay, as long as you follow me well, I will definitely lead everyone to become rich, everyone will have enough to eat, and everyone will have clothes to wear!"

 I'm fat again ~ I hope you are all still there.
