Shen Jun and his party have been staying in Zhiling County for a relatively long time, roughly a month.
Before setting off, this time they added two more carriages to their luggage, carrying water, and a lot of carts for transporting grain.
This trip to Zhiling County is not a loss.
Not only did they replenish people, but they also replenished food and water, and the harvest this time was even richer than when they set off before.
"To be honest, life here is pretty good."
Before leaving, Ning Chongchen couldn't help but sigh a few times when he looked at the big and small bags.
"If the water supply hadn't been getting less and less these days, I might have wanted to stay here."
Ning Chongchen's words were recognized by others.
Since it rained that day, the entire situation in Zhiling County has not improved as they expected.
The whole situation is even getting worse.
After a few days of rain, the water supply was indeed relatively plentiful.
But it only lasted a few days, and after a few days, the situation got worse.
Even the water in the well became a little scarcer.
In this case, they finally understood.
It was indeed difficult to stay in Zhiling County any longer, so I decided to leave and set off again to the next place.
Shen Jun listened to the discussion in his ears and said nothing.
After looking at it for a while, I saw that there was no place where I needed to use it for the time being.
Ning Chongchen and the others were keeping an eye on the rest so nothing would go wrong.
After all, staring at these was a bit boring, and Shen Jun became a little impatient after watching it for a while.
Just right.
Someone stopped her on the other end.
"Nvxia Shen!"
Standing in front of Shen Jun was Hu Zi, whom he hadn't seen for a few days.
This man has disappeared for a while since he joined the crusade against Master Yang some time ago.
Now I was caught off guard and saw someone.
Shen Jun almost didn't recognize it at first.
She and Huzi didn't have much interaction to begin with. People were coming and going these days, and she came into contact with too many people.
It is inevitable that Hu Zi's memory has faded a bit.
However, Shen Jun did not ask what the other party was doing these days.
She is not particularly interested in the other person's behavior these days.
But Huzi kept to himself and told Shen Jun roughly what he had done these days.
"I'm just busy dealing with things at home these days."
What Huzi said was indeed a trivial matter.
He said that these days he was arranging things for his family without him.
Shen Jun finally grasped the key point.
"Are you planning on traveling far away?"
When asking this question, Shen Jun's eyes began to fall on the baggage carried by Huzi.
She had noticed these burdens from the beginning, but Shen Jun didn't take them to heart.
I just thought that Huzi got something from somewhere, and now he was going back with these things.
I didn't expect that.
These are the luggage that the other party packed, and the other party plans to take these things with him on a long trip.
After asking in confusion, Shen Jun was thoughtful, and an idea immediately emerged in his mind.
Doesn't this person want to follow them?
This idea came up, but Shen Jun couldn't help but reject it.
Others who are willing to join are more or less homeless, or have no choice but to do so because of their poor family circumstances.
After all, no matter how nice the outside opinions are, it cannot be denied that this matter is very dangerous.
It is very possible to lose your life accidentally.
As the saying goes, "A good man should not be a soldier, and a good woman should not be married."
Shen Jun's recruitment sounds like he's recruiting guards, but in reality it's more like recruiting soldiers or a personal corps.
It's just that the royal family hasn't fallen yet, and even if they make any moves, they will get all kinds of nice names.
On the way to escape, for fear of being robbed by bandits, hiring more guards is for the sake of life and property.
This excuse also sounds good on the surface.
But everyone is not a fool. Even if no one figures it out at first, after a few days, smart people will expose this matter.
For someone like Hu Zi who has no shortage of family members or food, there is absolutely no need to do such a thing.
"I know what the heroine means, but I have really considered this matter seriously. I have been thinking about it when I am at home these days."
Huzi answered seriously. He did not exaggerate the facts, nor did he tell such lies to fool Shen Jun.
He had been struggling for a long time at home these days. At first he thought about his parents at home, but he could still endure it.
Later, as he watched some acquaintances around him sign up, Hu Zi felt more and more itchy and unbearable.
It wasn't until these two days that I finally convinced my mother at home and finally got them to nod.
So Huzi packed his luggage and came to the door.
Shen Jun was silent for a moment and looked at the eager young man in front of him.
Her silence made Hu Zi feel a little uneasy, "Nvxia Shen, can't you? Is it because I don't have the qualifications for you to recruit people?"
Shen Jun said, "No, Brother Huzi is so good. If you want to join us, we are naturally happy."
Huzi is also a smart man. When he heard this, he intuitively told him that there should be some twists and turns later.
So he looked a little happy, but not so happy that he lost his mind.
Shen Jun continued, "But with your ability, it is a pity to follow us south like this. It would be better to stay in this county, which will be of greater use."
"How do you say this?"
Huzi, who was already vaguely disappointed when he heard Shen Jun's words "but", suddenly became more energetic after hearing what she said next.
He was also curious, what else could Shen Jun say?
Shen Jun said, "Brother Huzi, have you ever thought about what will happen to this county after we leave?"
Huzi was a little confused.
Shen Jun analyzed with him slowly, "Mr. Yang was here in this county before. Although life was really difficult at that time, there were still people watching the well. Even if others had some evil intentions, they would not dare to Use it."
"But today is different from the past. We are still responsible for these days. After we leave, the well will be regarded as common property of everyone. Anyone who wants to fetch water can go there. I'm afraid it will be more or less different by then. There will always be some disputes.”
On days when there was no shortage of water, there would occasionally be disputes over where to place the well.
But most of those disputes are not big things. At most, they are just push and shove and small quarrels.
