The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 217 Refugees who don’t want to leave

"Didn't they say that the epidemic outside is under control? Why haven't they left yet?" Jing Li asked in surprise.

Now that the epidemic situation outside has been controlled, Jingli has also relaxed the scope of activities of people in the village.

Except for the refugees who are still not allowed to enter the village, people from other villages who come to visit relatives and friends can enter the village as long as they have their pulse checked by brothers Li Suozi and Li Zhuzhu and confirm that there are no problems.

"You don't know, there are capable people in your village. No one is dead, and they can also give out medicine and lime. That's like being in Fuwowo!"

Wang Duner's mother-in-law took her daughter's hand and said: "In our village, there are less than ten households left. Many of them died directly at home. No one dared to bury them, and they were immediately set on fire." Let’s burn the house down and finish!”

"Your unsatisfactory sister-in-law told us not to go back to her parents' house, but she had to go back because she was afraid that her mean old lady would talk back to her and she would be in trouble this time!"

Wang Dun's daughter-in-law took her mother's hand and wiped her tears: "Then Brother Mang's wife is just gone?"

"No." The old lady lifted up her clothes and wiped away her nose and tears: "Her parents heard that a man who worked in the mines in Anxi came back with the disease and infected the whole village."

"They were all dead. The few remaining families hid in the mountains and barely escaped. But is it so easy to stay in the mountains at this time? Two more families were bitten to death by snakes, and several families came back. He looks so dishonest, and he only has one breath left to hang on to!"

Wang Dun's daughter-in-law and her mother hugged each other and cried. Aunt Wang's third daughter's house was not far away, and her little girl also returned to her parents' house.

Third Aunt Wang's daughter was eating with a bowl of sea food in her arms. While eating, she said, "Mom, in this lean time, our village is the only one that still has enough to eat!"

Third Aunt Wang scolded her little girl: "What's wrong with our village? You've been married for several years, and you still think you're rude to your own family!"

The little girl sipped her porridge: "Mom, you don't know how difficult this month has been. Look, I've lost a lot of weight."

"My father-in-law and my son's father couldn't go out to work, so they stayed at home all day long to take care of the fields. When the plague came, it was thanks to my mother-in-law that she was cruel and followed the example of our village and refused to let the family go out, so they survived."

Third Aunt Wang curled her lips in disdain: "That old woman of yours is only capable of controlling a man and his son!"

After finishing the porridge, the little girl couldn't help but lick the bottom of the bowl, which made Aunt Wang's eyes hurt. She was so hungry.

"Tell me, in our village, it was not uncommon for me to get married back then, but how come things are getting better and better now?" her little girl put down her bowl and asked.

Third Aunt Wang said angrily: "Thanks to the death of your uncle in the next room, otherwise our family would have so much land?"

Third Aunt Wang cursed the dead Wang Lizheng, and when she thought of her son and daughter-in-law who were killed by the Liao people, she inevitably felt another dull pain.

Her little daughter didn't see the ugly look on my mother's face and said to herself, "Oh! Now that our village is like this, I don't even want to leave!"

No, who would want to leave such a good place?

The old man among the refugees knelt in front of Jing Li: "Girl, you are really shameless for saying this."

"But there have been wars outside for many years, and we are either arresting people or requisitioning food. The old man is old and can see that the girl is a capable person, so please take pity on us and keep us!"

A woman came over with her child and knelt down: "Girl, we have hands and feet. We will not cause trouble to the girl, nor will we shamelessly go to the village to beg. We just ask the girl to give us a place to shelter and protect us people!" "

As the woman knelt down, there was a roar behind her, and all the old men, young people, knelt down.

Mr. Jing came over after hearing the news and hurriedly pulled the old man up: "Brother, what are you doing? Our daughter is young, brother, aren't you going to shorten her life?"

The old man burst into tears: "Brother, my family came from Qingzhou. When I heard my accent, I knew they were from my hometown."

"It's not peaceful outside. There are more than 50 people in my family, but only [-] are left after we fled here, not even half of them!"

Mr. Jing, Mrs. Ge and others were confused when they saw these ragged refugees. If Jingli hadn't been there, what would be the difference between them and these people.Wandering around endlessly all day long, I don’t know where to call home in this vast world.

Maybe the black-hearted rich man dragged the girls and boys to work as servants, or maybe the prince forced him to recruit soldiers and directly served as soldiers.

Either he met the White Lotus Army and became a member of the rebel bandits, or he fed the bandits and wolves directly on the road, with no chance of survival.

The old men and women in the village all looked at Jingli: "Ahli, this is the matter"

Jing Li looked at the young adults among the refugees and gritted his teeth and said, "If you want to stay, you must obey the rules. If someone doesn't follow the rules, don't blame me for being too cold-blooded!"

The refugees were stunned at first, then cried with joy and cheered.

The old man and the child kept kowtowing: "Thank you, Miss, for your kindness!"

"Thank you, old man and old lady, for taking me in!"

"We can finally live now!"

After Jingli finished speaking, he ordered Dalang: "Take Jinlong and the others to register them. Where are they coming from? All aspects of the population, household registration, and roads must be checked clearly to prevent the White Lotus Army or bandits from sneaking in!"

Dalang said calmly: "Sister, don't worry, I will check it out."

"Erlang and the others have quietly inquired about these refugees these days. If there are any who don't agree with their words, they will be sent out directly!"

Jing Li raised her eyes and looked at Dalang: "You're a good young man! You know how to prepare in advance!"

"By the way, how did you know that I wanted to take in these refugees?"

Dalang scratched his head in embarrassment: "Although I am not merciless to the enemy, I am still a kind-hearted person in the end. If these refugees know some rules, I will not do anything too cruel!"

"Besides," Dalang looked around, looking a little hesitant as if he was unsure of paying attention.

Jing Li encouraged: "It doesn't matter, just say whatever comes to mind. In front of Sister, it doesn't matter even if you say something wrong."

Dalang smiled and whispered: "Sister, if you want to expand, just us people are not enough. After the Wubao is built, it is inevitable to accept the refugees."

"It's just that these refugees can't be too conspicuous and must be obedient to avoid backlash in the future."

Jingli couldn't help but look at Dalang again: "Not bad, he has made progress!"

"Then next, you will help Lan'er and the others to register the refugees. Girls are more careful and are better at this kind of work."

"You can write me a detailed plan on how to resettle and manage the refugees, and how to arrange their subsequent livelihoods!"

Dalang suddenly lost his face: "Sister, I really can't do this!"

"Shh! Men can't say no!" Jing Li shook her fingers.

As soon as the refugees were settled, Huan Yuan came back with Liu Kui.

Huan Yuan came back very quickly from his trip to the grassland.

Jing Li looked at him from a distance and looked a little nervous. Could it be that a weakling like Mo Huzi dared to rebel?
