Chapter 626: The couple helped the villagers design and finance the repair of city ditches and walls

Xiao Yunyan was filled with deep respect and respect for the kind old man. As she talked with the old man, she gradually learned about the tragic fate that this family had experienced and the unfortunate events that had befallen the entire village.

The land in this place was originally quite fertile and rich, and the people used to live a peaceful and fulfilling life. However, due to repeated severe droughts in other areas, large numbers of refugees have flocked to their villages in search of aid. The villagers here are kind-hearted, and they always lend a helping hand to the refugees passing by without hesitation and give them as much help as they can.

However, sometimes kindness does not necessarily lead to good results. Those refugees noticed that the village was not taking the same drastic measures as other places in dealing with the steady influx of refugees. The men, women, and children in the village did not unite closely, blocking the entrances to the villages and towns, and even used force to expel passing refugees.

Therefore, some of these refugees choose to stay here and never leave. What's more, they took advantage of the villagers' enthusiastic help to secretly spy on the property status of each household. Instead of being grateful to the villagers for their generous help, they had evil intentions and became thieves.

The night was deep, everything was silent, and the whole village was immersed in tranquility. However, at this seemingly peaceful midnight, a group of hungry refugees suddenly broke into the village. They searched for food from house to house like wolves and tigers, without caring about the feelings and safety of the villagers.

For those people from relatively affluent families, this sudden disaster is even worse. Not only was the food looted, but even the lives of family members were threatened. The vicious refugees forced the family owner to hand over the family's money, otherwise they would take their lives.

After experiencing such a tragic incident, people in the village became alert and took more precautions.

But unfortunately, the village is flat and there is no danger to defend. When another group of refugees passed by, the villagers could only hide the only food they had, leaving only a little food at home to survive.

However, their efforts seemed to have no effect. The refugees with malicious intentions did not stop because of this, but intensified their efforts to rob food and money.

Once they find that a family does not have enough food or money, they will take the children of the family as hostages to coerce the villagers to hand over more property.

If the villagers are really unable to provide what they need, the robbed children will be resold and suffer a bad fate from then on.

This once prosperous village gradually declined after suffering repeated attacks by flood victims.

Today, every household is trapped in poverty, and many people have scars on their bodies or have lost their children. The warm and peaceful scene of the past no longer exists, replaced by endless sadness and despair.

When Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan heard this situation, they couldn't help but feel a deep sadness in their hearts.

These refugees have gone through hardships and fled all the way. It is really pitiful.

However, there are not only those weak and kind-hearted people among them, but also some evil people who like to fight and plunder.

Under the instigation of these people, even refugees who are originally kind-hearted may be inspired to have an evil side in their hearts.

When people face disaster, they often choose to protect themselves more. Therefore, most disaster victims will show their wolf-like nature once they encounter food that can be snatched.

Of course, there are also many kind-hearted people who receive help from others in times of crisis. Even just a half piece of cake is enough to save a life. They will keep this kindness in their hearts, and for the rest of their lives they will often recall that past with great emotion and gratitude.

However, when faced with the desperate situation of starvation and imminent death, most people will not hesitate to throw morality behind them.

At this moment, Xiao Yunyan listened to the old man telling stories about the past, and at the same time used her unique yin and yang eyes to examine everything that had happened in this village.

Indeed, as the old man said, many people gave up their food rations at home to help poor refugees. In the end, not only were their food and belongings robbed, but their own children were also plundered. These villagers were originally so kind, but they met such a miserable end. She couldn't just sit idly by and watch.

While Xiao Yunyan was talking to the old man, Li Mohan walked out of the yard and looked around, and also walked around the village. He noticed that the people in the village had friendly faces and no hostility when they saw him. Although the villagers lived in poverty, they did not show any special expression when they saw him dressed in bright clothes.

Li Mohan used his yin and yang eyes to observe the villagers he met by chance in the village. The conclusion drawn is that the people in this village are simple-minded and kind-hearted, and there are no treacherous or evil people.

When he returned from wandering, Xiao Yunyan was looking for him anxiously. Xiao Yunyan said that she hopes to do something practical for the people in this village. She planned to stay for a while.

Li Mohan nodded lightly, his eyes showing his appreciation for Xiao Yunyan. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, showing his inner approval.

Just now, when Xiao Yunyan proposed this idea, he couldn't help but feel something in his heart, because he happened to have similar thoughts himself. The couple has always had this kind of tacit understanding.

Li Mohan stared at Xiao Yunyan, and he felt a resonance. The people in this village deserved to be saved.

Because even though the people in this village suffered several robberies, they did not become hostile to strangers. Such naturally kind qualities are truly rare and worth saving.

After communicating with each other, the couple felt that the people in this village were very kind and the land was fertile, but they had been robbed by refugees several times before. That's why we have the current poverty.

If we want to solve the poverty problem in the village, we must first solve the problem fundamentally.

Of course, it is necessary to build water reservoirs in all dry places in the country so that these people will not be displaced and take risks in the process of fleeing for food and living resources. They have become evil people and harmed good people.

In addition, the terrain of this village is not dangerous enough and there are no defense measures. So when the refugees passed through this place, they broke into the village and snatched it without any hindrance. The people in the village had no ability to resist.

The couple planned to lead the men in the village to build protective measures around the village and at the entrance.

Of course, this approach needs to be discussed with the local Li Zheng and the village elders.

The old man and the old woman who heard the couple's discussion were naturally very happy.

Although they have no descendants, many of their relatives and other younger generations live in this village. If this village can become safer, their lives will be protected.

The old man, who had become very healthy, immediately suggested that he go to the home of the Zhenghe tribe in the village and invite them to come over to discuss the matter.

The couple nodded in agreement. After all, this matter requires the consent of the villagers before it can be implemented, otherwise they will not be able to do it based on their wishful thinking.

The couple told the old man not to worry. The two of them first went around the village to look at the surrounding terrain and then study the plan for building fortifications.

The three of them split up. Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan walked around the village.

It was found that there is a small river flowing from east to west through the south of the village. Beside the river are more than 3,000 acres of fertile land.
