The arrival of Jiang Goudan and his party disrupted Shen Qingqian's progress in rebuilding their house.
By the time Shen Qingqian and Wu arrived at the entrance of the valley, Jiang Goudan and others were already chatting with others.
"Goudan, why did you drag your family here? What happened?" Someone looked at Jiang Goudan and the others and asked strangely.
Jiang Goudan smiled bitterly, "We are here to join you."
"What? Join us?" Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Shen Shan frowned and asked, "Brother Jiang, you also know our situation. Where does the word 'defection' come from?"
Jiang Goudan looked more respectful when he saw that the third master of the Shen family was speaking, "The third master doesn't know something. Our group arrived in Lanjiang County and after some inquiries, we couldn't find the acquaintance that the third master mentioned..."
Jiang Goudan and his party had escaped. Northern Hubei had experienced another drought, and there was no food left in any place. It was extremely difficult for them and their party to settle down.
The situation in northern Hubei is special, and the precautions and vigilance against outsiders are particularly serious. Jiang Goudan and others were like headless flies for more than half a month without settling down.
When they separated from Shen Qingqian and others, Li Laosan gave them a month's rations. Seeing that the food was almost exhausted, they still didn't even have a place to stay. Jiang Goudan was extremely anxious.
At this moment, Lu suggested going to Linshuigou to find Shen Qingqian and the others.
After internal discussions and several days of struggle, Jiang Goudan finally took seven families on the road to Linshuigou.
They walked slowly with their family in tow, and one of their children fell ill on the way. After a few more days of delay, they finally arrived at Linshuigou today.
Jiang Goudan and the others were walking in another direction, so they met Shen Qingqian and the others at the entrance of the valley.
"...Everyone, we really have no choice but to come to you. It's really..." Jiang Goudan let out a long sigh, not knowing how to speak.
If it was just him, he could make a living anywhere, but they were seven families, with a total of more than fifty people, old and young, so it was not easy to support them.
Coupled with the fact that he had seen Shen Qingqian's group's ability to survive on the mountain before and the power of unity, Jiang Goudan shamelessly led his men to find them.
Neither Sheng Ze nor Shen Xiao was here, and Wu didn't come forward at this moment. Jiang Goudan's eyes naturally focused on Shen Shan.
"Third Young Master, I wonder if you can give us some guidance?" Jiang Goudan and the others all looked at Shen Shan expectantly.
Shen Shan frowned, and after a while he replied, "Brother Jiang, it's not that we don't want to help, it's because of our current status..."
He wanted to refuse directly, but when he saw the old people and children behind Jiang Goudan all looking at him with hope, Shen Shan paused again, and then he spoke again, "Well, you guys go back with me first and see Let’s see if my brother and the others can do anything.”
Jiang Goudan and others were penniless at this time and were about to run out of food. If they were allowed to go back, they would probably starve to death before they could make it halfway, not to mention that there was Lanjiang River between Northern Hubei and Chenzhou. I can't get through it.
After all, they had shared the joys and sorrows together, and Shen Shan couldn't bear to reject it completely.
"Third brother, you still have life here, it's better for me to take Brother Jiang and the others back." Shen Qingqian suddenly stood up and said.
Shen Shan and the others had tasks, and if they couldn't complete them, their progress would be delayed. However, Shen Qingqian's work was easier and he would have finished it long ago.
"Sure, then I'll help Sixth Sister." Shen Shan agreed without thinking.
Shen Qingqian took Jiang Goudan and others to where they lived. On the way, Mrs. Lu pulled Jiang Dazhuang over and said, "Miss Six, please show my Dazhuang..."
