The people who came out this time all believed in Li Yuan.
Hearing her words at this time, and Li Qinghua also said that the clan would provide everyone with food and cold clothing, I felt a lot more at ease.
As everyone's cries gradually became quieter, Li Yuan saw that each of them was either supporting each other and standing in place, or squatting regardless, so she asked: "Uncle Hua, what happened to the cave you just mentioned? ,where?"
Hearing this, the people around Li Yuan looked at Li Qinghua under the dim oil lamp with hope in their eyes.
"I met Mr. Zhang just now and asked him if there was a resting place for the rest of us nearby. He said that there are several large caves on the mountain ahead where we can rest first, but we still have to walk."
When everyone heard that they had to keep walking, they almost cried, especially the women who were so tired that they couldn't lift their feet.
It’s just that they understand that in this situation, they can’t leave without leaving.
As long as they stopped for a while, the water that was originally less than the calf was now over.
No one knows where the water will rise if the delay continues.
And whether the mountains on both sides of the official road would just slide down and bury people, as their village leader/tribe leader said.
They can't afford to gamble, and they don't want to gamble with their lives.
So, no matter how hard and tiring it is, grit your teeth, the time will come!
Li Yuan didn't know what everyone was thinking. After hearing this, her eyes instantly burst into joy.
"Really? Did you meet Brother Zhang?"
Saying that, without waiting for Li Qinghua's answer, she looked at the crowd and raised her voice: "Dear fellow villagers, we met Mr. Zhang from the county government office. He knew that there was a place nearby where we could rest and stay for the night without worries. The cave may have to be walked again. I hope everyone can bite the bullet and persevere. When we get to the place, the tribe and I will ensure that everyone has food and accommodation. Try to let everyone have a good rest. After resting, we will Continue to go."
Li Qinghua cooperated with Li Yuan's words and also raised his voice and said: "Mother Yuan is right! The clan will not ignore you. Those who still have rations and everything, if they have extra food on the road this time, they can also come out and borrow it from the clan." or those who have lost supplies. We come from the same place, and we all know each other through family ties, so we have to help each other and unite as one. No matter when, as long as you don’t make mistakes, the clan will never abandon you. !”
"The current hardship is only temporary. Let's think about it, after we get here and to Luyang Mansion, what kind of life will we live? Watermelons, sweet potatoes, and the corn that Yuan Niang said can also be high-yielding. Like this, They are all valuable things.”
When someone heard this, he couldn't help but say: "Sweet potatoes and corn are not valuable. Luyang Prefecture is just like us. They grow rice and eat rice."
Li Qinghua was not annoyed and replied directly: "Watermelon is valuable, everyone knows this. As for sweet potatoes and corn, why I say valuable is because these are high-yield crops. After we grow them, we sell them as high-yield seeds. To Nowadays, it’s not a matter of a few pennies per pound. If your price doubles or triples, you don’t have to worry about no one wanting it. Do you understand what I mean?”
These words were extremely straightforward and could be heard clearly by everyone present.
Thinking about the high price of growing watermelons, and then thinking about selling sweet potatoes and corn as seeds, the prices will be extremely high when the time comes, and everyone's heart is extremely hot.
Even though their bodies were extremely tired, they thought they could still walk for two hours if they gritted their teeth.
Hurry up, hurry up and get to Luyang Mansion. After settling down, in addition to the work in the tea garden, they have to clear out the wasteland quickly.
Once you have the land, you can plant.
After planting it, you can make a lot of money and be popular in the future.
If they are lucky enough to have a daughter who can marry into a good family like Yuan Niang, they will have nothing to worry about in the future.
If a son is born, like their Xie son-in-law, it will be the existence of a glorious ancestor...
"Chief, what are you waiting for? Shuanzi and the others who were injured have been arranged to live with people with bullock carts. Let's leave quickly. Although there is no hail now, the rain is not getting lighter and the temperature is getting higher. It’s getting lower and lower, and it’s not the same thing if we just stand here and don’t move!”
Li Qinghua said so much, and what he wanted was this effect.
After hearing this, he gestured to Li Yuan and then looked at everyone: "Okay, then you guys pack up and we'll set off in a quarter of an hour."
After getting the signal, Li Yuan had already gone back first.
When she returned to her carriage, Zhou Zi and Zhou Chou had already returned, and Zhang Cong was sitting on the shaft of her carriage.
"Brothers and sisters!"
Seeing the person, Zhang Cong said hello to her.
Li Yuan nodded to him and said, "Brother Zhang, please!"
Zhang Cong waved his hand nonchalantly and said: "We are all our own people, so there is no need to worry about it. Before brother Xie Xian went to Fucheng, he specifically told me to look after you more."
He said, seeing what Li Yuan wanted to say, he continued: "The water is so strong that my brothers and sisters' clothes are probably wet. Please change your clothes quickly to avoid catching a cold."
Li Yuan remembered the cold-repelling decoction she had brewed in space, and Wang Can had also brewed it before, so she had no worries.
After she got into the carriage, she came out in just a moment carrying a kettle and two bowls.
"Brother Zhang, Zhou Zi comes to drink the anti-cold medicine. Zhou Zi, after you finish drinking, go and change Zhou Chou to come in and drink."
The three of them all felt that the medicine Li Yuan and the others had brought was limited, and they could only endure it for a limited time. They also felt that since they had martial arts skills and strong bodies, the coldness was nothing, so they refused.
Li Yuan was not someone who knew how to push things. After making sure that they really didn't want them, she took the things back.
Because of Zhang Cong's guidance, even though it was pitch dark, everyone still arrived at the cave before Hai Shi.
Li Yuan's carriage was at the front. Zhang Cong used the oil lamp hanging on the carriage and said to her: "Brothers and sisters, this area is a rocky mountain. Because it is in Liuyun County, it has not been mined much. In previous years, only the city wall was built. Only when the time comes, people will be sent to quarry here. There are thirteen caves in total, large and small, and the quarrymen who worked in the past years lived here. There are three large caves in total, and each one can accommodate eighty people. The medium-sized caves can accommodate fifty people in four places. The small caves can accommodate twenty people in six places. If you calculate it, it can accommodate more than five hundred people in total. If you squeeze it more, it will be about six hundred people."
When Li Yuan heard this, she quickly calculated in her mind that if there were 600 people, then they would have more than 200 people. Including Zhang Cong's people, there would be almost 300 people who would have to live in oxcarts or horse-drawn carriages.
Their total number of cars is less than forty. On average, one car needs eight to ten breaks.
It would be fine if they slept side by side, but it was impossible to lie down.
However, she had plenty of tarpaulin, and it seemed she could erect tents in front of several caves.
