Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 412
Shen Yuan suddenly tensed his nerves, he was really afraid of something, there were hundreds of people in the four ships, and there were only five of them, could the food for this ship be kept?
"Big Boss, it's not good, I might have encountered a water bandit." Village Chief Ha Kun also rushed to the deck with fifty or sixty men carrying food, each holding a kitchen knife and a pole.

"Nothing." Shen Yu'an said calmly with his right hand on the hilt of his sword, "Even if they are water bandits, they are just mobs, don't be afraid."

After finishing speaking, she added, "What I'm afraid of is that the villagers who are desperate nearby will gather to grab food if they can't survive." Didn't she encounter this kind of situation in Zaozhuang? The men can only run to the road when they can't survive Carjacking, if this situation is more difficult to deal with.

As soon as Shen Yu'an finished speaking, the kitchen knife in the hand of the village chief Ha Kun dropped, and he looked at the two boats in front of him and said, "Isn't that the village chief of Jimu Village next door?"
The man next to him also put his pole on the ground, "Yes, the people in the boat next to him are the villagers of Ahu Village."

"The two boats behind are also from the nearby village." Someone answered.

After recognizing that the people on the four ships were all acquaintances, everyone fell silent.

After wave after wave of locusts swept through, not a single blade of grass grew on the grassland, and within half a month all the cattle and sheep starved to death, and the temperature was too high in the summer, and a large number of dead cattle and sheep rotted without time to deal with them.

A few months after the locust plague, the stored food was exhausted, and the grass roots were dug up to eat.

The nearby villages must have also heard that Lishui Village had raised food, so they drove a boat to grab some food when they were desperate.

"Do you all know the people on board?" Shen Yuan looked at the four boats that were gradually approaching, and asked Village Chief Ha Kun.

"I know them all, they are all from the nearby villages." Village Chief Ha Kun said awkwardly, "They are not real water bandits, and they must be desperate~~"

"That's the case, then talk to them and don't do anything."

"Okay." Village Chief Harkun agreed, and then said dully, "As long as it's not too much, it's okay to give them half of our village's food."

Shen Yu'an looked deeply at Ha Kun and nodded silently. He didn't expect that this tall, rough man from the Western Regions would be so soft-hearted. No wonder he was able to lend so many sheep to refugees from another country without saying a word. Such acts of kindness are rare.

"Stop the boat." Shen Yuan ordered, there happened to be a pier next to it, and the village chief Ha Kun told the crew to pull over and stop the boat.

Seeing that the boat had stopped here, the four surrounding boats also pulled over.

"Tell the village chief to come down and talk." Shen Yuyan said, and then took Bai Yixue off the boat.

After the village head of Hakun yelled a few words at the big boats, a middle-aged man got off each of the four boats, and soon the leaders of the five boats met on the shore.

"Big boss." The four village chiefs also heard about Tianxia Commercial Bank's donation to Lishui Village. When they saw Shen Yu'an, they all knelt down, "I beg Dadong to give us a way to survive and give us some food." The four men all had distressed faces, pleading in blunt Central Plains dialect.

"I can understand the situation of the village chiefs, but the refugees are so desperate, is there no one to take care of them?" Shen Yuan looked at them, "If you rely on robbery, how long can you last?"

"The higher ups can't do anything, locusts are plagued everywhere on the grassland." The village head of Jimu Village raised his head sadly, "We~~ we don't need more, each village only needs a few stones of potatoes to save the children first.

"Yes, save the children, how long we adults can survive eating some grass roots, but the children eat the grass roots and block their intestines and can't pull them out. Many of them are bloated to death~" the village chief of Ahu Village said, lying on the ground A sad whimper.

The village chiefs of the other two villages also knelt on the ground and kowtowed nonstop: "I beg Dadong, I beg Village Chief Hakun, give us some potatoes, and I will repay you in the next life like a cow or a horse."

Shen Yuan was worried about this situation early in the morning. How do you solve this situation? The children are so hungry that they eat grass roots, and they can't digest it.

But she, Shen Yuan, is neither a saint nor Avalokitesvara who saves suffering, let alone~~she is not from the Western Regions.

The only thing she can do is to find a place to try planting highland barley as soon as possible, so that His Royal Highness King Ye can reach an agreement with the upper rulers of the Western Regions as soon as possible, so as to save the people of the Western Regions from suffering as soon as possible.

Seeing Shen Yu'an's silence, Village Chief Ha Kun looked at her with red eyes, "Big Boss, what do you think?"

Shen Yuan solemnly said: "Seven years ago, when the locusts plagued the Central Plains, the head of Hakun village raised more than 200 sheep and saved the lives of all the people in our Shenjia Village. Of course, the gratitude and rewards are decided by Hakun Village Chief.”

After all, it belongs to two countries, and some things must be pointed out.Otherwise, people would think why your Tianxia Commercial Bank is helping Lishui Village instead of other villages? It will definitely cause unnecessary hatred.

After listening to Shen Yuan's words, the village chiefs also understood what was going on, and turned their attention to Village Chief Ha Kun.

Village head Ha Kun put his hands on his chest, and bowed respectfully to Shen Yuan, "Thank you, Master Shen, and the villagers of Shenjia Village."

Then he called out the four village chiefs who were kneeling on the ground, and after babbling in Western Region dialect, the four village chiefs bowed to Village Chief Hakun gratefully one by one.

Turning to Shen Yuan and bowing reverently, they each boarded the boat.

After boarding the boat, the village chief Hakun expressed his modesty to Shen Yuan, saying that the food in one boat would be divided into five shares, and each of the five villages would share one share.

"Village Chief Ha Kun has great love in his heart, which is admirable." Shen Yuan sincerely praised a few words, thinking it was so good.

At least until the Night King and the King of the Western Regions reach an agreement, there should be no disaster victims starving to death in these places.

The boat started quickly and continued to swim upstream.

Before turning into the western tributary, I had already passed the pass and entered the boundary of the Western Regions. At this time, as the big ship moved forward, the field of vision gradually opened up, and in the evening, I went deep into the hinterland of the grassland.

The prairie that has been plagued by locusts is gray and dead.

In the distance, a village appeared faintly ahead.

"That's Lishui Village." Village Chief Ha Kun said, and ordered the helmsman to dock at the pier.

The pier was full of people, old women and children waiting for the men to bring food back. As soon as the big ship docked, everyone surrounded them with hope.

The village chief Ha Kun escorted Shen Yuan and Bai Yixue to get off the boat. As soon as he introduced Shen Yuan's identity, he knelt down on the hula la grass. Everyone didn't know how to speak Central Plains dialect, so they all expressed their gratitude in Western Region dialect.

As for how the food was distributed, Shen Yuan didn't need to worry about it. Madam Ha Kun led the five of them to the village.
