Chapter 40 The Officers and Soldiers Are Coming

"My lord, there are homeless people in the mountains!"

A soldier was the first to notice that there were people on the mountain blocking the bandits, and when he looked at it, he realized that it was actually a large group of homeless people.

"Okay, immediately unite the people to catch the bandits!"

The bandit leader couldn't go up the mountain with a dozen people and couldn't go back, seeing the officers and soldiers approaching, he could only take the rest of the people to put down their weapons and kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, "My lord's life, my lord's life!" ”

"Adults, the little ones were also ordinary people, and they really couldn't survive anymore to become mountain bandits, so the adults spared the little ones!"

"Spare your life!"

These bandits only know how to bully those ordinary people who are powerless, where would they have thought that they still have this day, and they have long been afraid to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, just wanting to save their lives.

Wen Xi on the mountain naturally also heard the conversation under the mountain, and the worry in his heart was put down, it seems that this is a team of bandits, they are saved!

The villagers were also excited, "Great, great, we have been saved!" ”

Under the gaze of everyone, a slender and tough young man rode forward, staring condescendingly at the bandit who knelt down in fear and begged for mercy, his eyes condensed, "Although you are all forced to become bandits, but you have harmed innocent people for your own selfish desires, and your sin is unforgivable!" ”

As soon as the man's words fell, the officers and soldiers behind him raised their bows and arrows, and when his gesture fell, the bows and arrows of Qi Brush attacked the bandits.

In a few moments, all the bandits in the field were strangled and killed.

Seeing that all the bandits had been killed, the village chief couldn't help but be shocked, and when he was thinking about it, he heard someone shouting below, "Are the people on the mountain fleeing the famine?" ”

Someone couldn't control his excitement and shouted, "My lord, save us, we are all people who have fled the famine!" ”

The people on the mountain all followed the village chief down the mountain and came to a group of officers and soldiers, one of the officers and soldiers took a step back and introduced, "This is Lord Qi sent by the Holy Lord to provide disaster relief, you are really lucky!" ”

When everyone heard that it was actually an adult sent by the imperial court to provide disaster relief, they immediately knelt on the ground and wept excitedly, "Meet Lord Qi, thank you for saving your life!" ”

Lord Qi looked about thirty years old, tall and tall, looking at these poor people, his heart suddenly had mixed feelings.

"Okay, everyone get up, the bandits here have been strangled, you are all safe, and now the gate of the county town has been opened, you should hurry up and settle down in the city!"

The village chief who heard the news was stunned, his eyes were full of excitement, they were all forced to find another place because of the high entrance fee, but they didn't expect to finally be able to enter the city after this experience, it is really another village!

"Thank you, sir!"

"Alright, you guys pack up and go into the city!"

"Thank you, sir!"

Everyone thanked each other in unison, and their voices became more and more excited.

Xiang Jiuling hid on the mountain with a few children and others, not knowing what was happening under the mountain, and when he saw Wen Xi coming back, he immediately greeted him.

"How's it going!"

"The bandits under the mountain have been strangled by officers and soldiers, let's pack up our things and enter the city!"

Hearing the news brought by Wen Xiyun's light breeze, Xiang Jiuling couldn't help but be stunned, but she also knew that now was not the time to ask, so she hurriedly pulled the three children to follow.

"Dabao, hurry up and grab something, let's go!"

Dabao reacted at this time, and quickly took the burden and led Erbao, "Okay, mother!" ”

When everyone heard the news that they could enter the city for free, they immediately began to pack their things excitedly, and the rest of the people gathered in one place, ready to return the way they came.

However, tonight was also a heavy loss, many people were destroyed by bandits, and some of them disappeared in a hurry, and now only sixty percent of the people remained.

After packing up their things and going down the mountain, everyone found an open place to rest, and the next day at dawn, everyone woke up early, and after a simple meal, they had to hurry again.

In the afternoon, everyone returned to the gate of the county seat, and at this time there was already a long queue at the gate of the city, which was much better than the crowded and chaotic scene before.

After waiting in line for almost two hours, they finally arrived at Xiang Jiuling's family, and there were still people registered at the city gate, and they were distributed and settled according to population and household registration.

After entering the city gate, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The place near the city gate was the most lively, but now there is nothing as far as the eye can see, and the doors and windows of those shops are also closed, and the whole street is depressed.

The county town was in chaos, even if they entered the city, everyone did not find a place to stay, but fortunately, the village chief found the people in the same village before, and finally found a suitable place to live in the nearest town in the county.

Xiang Jiuling carefully observed the situation here, although there is no prosperity and gathering of the county, but the surrounding environment is good, there are mountains and rivers, and the flat land is mostly flat, which is a good place for survival.

Looking at the gentle dirt slope and a few dilapidated houses in front of them, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief even though the living site was so simple.

The village chief suddenly burst into tears, "We finally have a place to stay, everyone pack up their things and settle down first, and our future days will definitely get better and better." ”

With the encouragement of the village chief, everyone seemed to have found the backbone, and the naughty child had already run to the shallow stream and shouted, "Father, mother, there are fish in the river, there are so many small fish!" ”

The other children also ran over happily when they heard the shouting, rolled up their sleeves and were about to catch it, splashing all over the water.

"You hairy boy, don't get wet, what should you do if you catch a cold later!"

The woman shouted loudly, but her voice was clearly more pleasant than angry.

The people around couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, what should everyone do, let's build a village here, as long as we work together, we can all live a good life!"

"Yes, we are all so tired and bitter on the way to escape from the wilderness, but we are just starting from scratch, what are you afraid of!"

"I'm going to chop wood!"

"I'm going to carry the water!"

Everyone fled all the way to the famine, and after so many hardships and hardships, they already had deep feelings, and at this time, they encouraged and comforted each other.

"I think this land is not bad, it is better than our previous wrong soil quality, and a lot of grain can definitely be harvested when it is mined!"

"yes, it's a pity we don't have seeds now, this ......"

Xiang Jiuling on the side smiled when he heard this, and took the initiative to say, "Let's settle down first, let's find a way to deal with the seed matter later, anyway, there will be anything!" ”

She has space in her hands, and it is not a matter of minutes to get any seeds, but seeing that the cold snap is coming, she has to settle the place to live before talking about anything else.

"That's right, let's hurry up and settle down!"
