Farmer sister: Escape from wilderness and farm with Lingquan space

Qiao Ran couldn't help but laugh when she saw how cautious the old village chief was, fearing others would hear.

She explained: "Grandpa, village chief, this is really a gift to me. I was walking on the street just now, and suddenly I saw a carriage in front of me lost control and rushed over. A child was squatting in the middle of the road to pick up something. He looked at the carriage. I was about to hit the child, so I rushed forward and took the child aside to avoid the tragedy of being hit and trampled by the carriage."

"Later I found out that the child was the precious grandson of the shopkeeper of a grain and oil shop on the roadside. The shopkeeper took me to thank me. I said I wanted to buy salt, and he immediately pulled me to the backyard and stuffed it for me quietly. He bought such a large jar of salt and said he wanted to thank me for saving his grandson’s life. My family can’t finish all the salt, so I’ll give some to the fellow villagers!”

The old village chief recalled the scene when Qiao Ran stood in the middle of the road and bravely stopped the Wang Yuan's ramming carriage. He had no doubts about Qiao Ran's words.

He gave a thumbs up and praised excitedly: "Girl Ran, you are really amazing! Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. You have saved many people along the way. They say good people are rewarded. Yours The blessings are yet to come!”

Qiao Ran smiled modestly: "It's nothing, I just did what I could."

The old village chief looked at the salt shaker and shook his head:

"No, you risked your life to save people in exchange for this jar of salt. We can't take advantage of you in vain. Let's do it this way. We all have some money in our hands anyway. It's up to you to help everyone earn this money. It's here. If any of them don't have salt, I'll ask them to come directly to you with money to buy it, and you can sell it to them at the price in the city. This will be convenient for everyone, and you won't suffer any loss."

Qiao Ran was very grateful that the old village chief thought of her in everything, but she still reminded: "But grandpa, village chief, selling salt privately is against the law. If someone reports it, will the government arrest us?"

When the old village chief heard this, he thought for a moment and realized that he really couldn't tell.

Although he felt that people in the village were now very grateful to Qiao Ran for helping everyone, at least for now, everyone was following Qiao Ran's instructions wholeheartedly.

But there is no guarantee that no one will have any objections after settling down in the future.

If someone comes to report Qiao Ran for selling illegal salt, wouldn't he have harmed this girl?

"Then, let them exchange things! Exchanging things for things is not business. Ran Yatou, look at what your family lacks, and I will let them exchange what they have at home for salt with you."

Qiao Ran shook her head: "My family is not short of anything. Everyone has it, and my family has it too. I know that most of the people left in our village are grateful. They will take the initiative to share some of the meat of the wild animals they hunt. My family, although there is no shortage of meat in my family. When we encountered danger several times, everyone came to rescue regardless of the danger. This is enough. If it is as ungrateful as the Wang family and my second grandfather’s family, I will definitely not be willing to share it. give them."

The old village chief was also deeply touched after hearing what Qiao Ran said.

Yes, when we were in Qingshui Village, the villagers would often fight against each other for small interests, and they all had their own ideas when they first started escaping.

But since Ran Yatou helped everyone time and time again, she saved everyone regardless of danger. She also led everyone to hunt, boil sugar, tan animal skins, and distributed food and supplies to everyone several times.

After many hardships, there is hope for a new life. Inspired by Ran Yatou, everyone becomes more and more united and knows how to help and support each other. They all work together to achieve selfish goals. I haven't seen this behavior for a long time.

The atmosphere in Qingshui Village is unprecedentedly good, which the old village chief is very pleased about.

Seeing that Qiao Ran was very determined to share the salt with everyone, the old village chief had no choice but to thank everyone and turned to tell the villagers about it.

None of the villagers expected that Qiao Ran would share such rare salt with everyone.

Some villagers who had been deprived of salt in their homes for a long time and began to feel weak even when walking were extremely grateful to Qiao Ran.

Although Qiao Ran said it would be distributed to everyone for free, every family that came to receive the salt brought something as a thank you.

There is fresh animal meat, roasted dried meat, the best animal hides tanned by ourselves, as well as dried wild vegetables, rice noodles, etc.

No one came with any money, and everyone knew that selling illegal salt was a serious crime against the law, and they did not want to harm Qiao Ran.

The warm hospitality was hard to refuse, so the Qiao family had no choice but to collect everything they brought.

Although the jar of salt was distributed to fifty or sixty families, each family was only given a small bowl, but at least it allowed them to temporarily not worry about running out of salt, and they could still survive to Zhongzhou if they used it sparingly.

It’s impossible to not be able to buy salt when you arrive in Zhongzhou, right?

After sleeping one night outside Yingzhou City, the next morning, under the complicated eyes of the officers and soldiers guarding the city, they calmly put away their tents, packed their things and set off on their journey again.

At the gate of the city, a small group of guards couldn't help but sigh as they watched the mighty fleeing team leaving.

"Are these really a group of refugees? I feel like they are traveling far away for fun? Which refugee can live as well as they do, wear as well as eat as well as they do?"

"Isn't that right? I smelled the aroma of meat last night! These people can actually afford to eat meat! It took several days for my family to be willing to cut off a small piece of mutton and bring it back to eat the meat."

"Not to mention food, I think the thing they live in is more sturdy and durable than the military tents in the military camp! It's so big and strong, it must be very comfortable to live in it!"

An older middle-aged guard said: "I, Old Liu, have been guarding the city gate here for more than ten years, and I have seen refugees fleeing the famine and coming to us three or four times. Wow, that's miserable! Not to mention cars and tents. They even had few clothes and no food at all. They were all so hungry that they were all skin and bones, and many of them fell to the ground and couldn't get up."

Some young guards didn't believe it: "Is it that miserable? Wouldn't you take everything at home with you when you flee? How could you have no clothes or food?"

The middle-aged guard sighed: "You are still too young. How do you know the horrors of human nature? You have to go away for several months to escape famine. How much food can you eat? Besides, along the way, Bandits and bandits block the road and rob, and even some greedy refugees among them will rob refugees who are also fleeing. Alas! It's still good to have things robbed. Many people are killed by bandits, beasts and even refugees. They can go smoothly. If you go to a place where the government is willing to provide relief and accept refugees, you will be lucky. How many people died on the way to escape the famine!"

The young guard shuddered, still not believing what the middle-aged guard said.

It wasn't until several days later, when they saw the second batch of refugees arriving outside the city, that they realized that the words of the middle-aged guard were far less shocking than what they actually saw.
