It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 270

The uninvited guest who broke into Dongshan Village was taken away by Jiang Fu and his team. According to the team leader, he would be handed over to the county government for public trial along with other evildoers to serve as a warning to others.

When the group of people disappeared, Aunt Yu dragged He Sanmei down from the mountain where they had taken refuge. "What do you mean, is our village safe? Can we go back?"

Jiang Lu shook her head. She didn't know whether the group of cannibal refugees Jiang Yan had mentioned were all captured after they came down the mountain or if they continued to hide in the mountains. But if they all gathered together, there would be strength in numbers, and it would always be safer.

Jiang Yan returned to the house and scooped out two gourds of grain from the half-sack to fill her stomach, then tied up the rest and hid it away. These old wheat grains were fuller than the ones she had taken from her house. Although the quantity was less, it must have taken a lot of effort for Uncle Jiang Fu to compensate her.

The screams of the hen outside the door and Aunt Yu's scolding rang out. Jiang Yan hurried out of the house and saw chicken feathers floating on the ground and a shivering hen with sparse hair on its neck in Zhou Huan's arms.

Jiang Yan was in a heavy mood as another person had set his eyes on her movable property.

What’s worse is that even if the villagers in nearby villages did not lose all their food, most of them suffered heavy losses in the attack.

If the disaster is not alleviated and the villagers are not given relief, how many people can remain rational and not cause chaos like the refugees in Xiding Prefecture?

In the county government office, Fu An expressed such concerns to Fu Jian who had just arrived.

County Magistrate Huang stepped aside and discreetly examined the young man before him. He seemed to have seen his figure and facial features somewhere before.

After Fu Jian finished his discussion with Fu An, he left quickly. Fu An then turned to County Magistrate Huang to instruct on the follow-up matters.

Finally, County Magistrate Huang asked out of genuine curiosity, "Although you previously revealed your surname to be Fu, you've been reluctant to reveal your family background. This person just now looked familiar to me... Are you related to the Chang family of Xiding Prefecture?"

Fu An's expression was indifferent, and he urged in a harsh voice: "You should get to work."

County Magistrate Huang: ...Okay, he knows the answer. Speaking of which, his aunt has been working in Xiding Prefecture for so many years and we haven't been in touch. I wonder how she's doing now...

The relief plan arrived with the people of Dongshan Village two days later in the morning.

Jiang Yan sat on a big tree at the entrance of the village, and saw from afar the sad-looking Dongshan villagers and a group of armed guards?

Jiang Yan's eyes quickly became warm, but the leading guard made her tense. After getting down from the tree, she stood still, hesitating and not daring to move forward.

She had not seen many people with this kind of temperament. One appeared by the side of Mrs. Chang Qingchang of Heding Prefecture after she succeeded as the governor. Then, two appeared when she was traveling with General Song's family, taking charge of all matters on the road.

This kind of outstanding talents who were suspected to be trained by aristocratic families actually appeared in the bandit camp where Dongshan Village took refuge.

Jiang Yan recalled Fu Nulang's regret at her father's family's decline and lack of support. Looking at the forces and manpower in front of her, they were really like a lean camel...

When Jiang Ju led the guards to Tiankeng Mountain, Jiang Yan finally walked quickly to Jiang Wang and Jiang Xing.

Jiang Xing patted Jiang Yan's head and choked up, "It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive."

On this return trip, due to the heat, lack of water and fatigue, some younger generations collapsed due to exhaustion while chasing the disaster victims along the way and never woke up again.

Jiang Yan broke away from the joy of reunion and looked at the people present blankly.

The moment her eyes met Jiang Ying's, she suddenly ran out of the crowd, hugged Jiang Yan tightly and cried silently.

Jiang Yan patted her shoulder mechanically.

one two three four five six.

Counting like this, there are indeed many people missing.
