Seeing that this sudden incident was handled perfectly, Li Chu stopped the rest time and gathered everyone to continue rushing to the destination.

Since the carriage was full of supplies, Zhao Lingshan and her group also followed the others on foot.

"Miss, our village is just another thirty miles away." Zhu came to Zhao Lingshan and spoke carefully.

She held her two children's hands and followed the team.

"Yeah, I understand." Zhao Lingshan responded casually.

Zhao Lingshan was not in the mood to chat with her right now.

The condition of the road is getting worse and worse, with potholes and uneven surfaces.

Not to mention driving a car, even walking on foot seems very difficult.

If you are not careful, you might slip and fall.

The road into the countryside made everyone miserable.

The horse-drawn carriages and ox-drawn carts carrying things would slip from time to time, and several times they were almost in danger of overturning.

Fortunately, there were many people in the team, and everyone spontaneously protected the supplies on both sides of the car.

When the wheels of the car got stuck in a mud pit, fortunately there was a giant named A Da who easily lifted the car out of the mud pit.

Although they didn't know what the wasteland they arrived at would look like, they could tell from the road under their feet how harsh and backward the conditions were here.

With every step forward, their hearts sank a little more.

It's probably not easy to survive in this poor and remote place!

……

Everyone walked with difficulty for another two hours before they arrived at Datu Village.

"We're at our village. It's time to go home!" Lin Xiaoyu and Lin Xiaoshan, two children, shouted happily at the entrance of the village.

No matter how poor their family is, this is still the place where they can feel warm and have the greatest sense of belonging.

"Shut up, don't you know that you are already the ones who are going to work for the young lady?"

"Go home? What home?" Zhu deliberately put on a stern face and scolded the child seriously.

After their mother said this, they immediately realized their current situation.

After a brief moment of disappointment, he immediately cheered up again, "Don't worry, mother, we know what to do!"

As long as they are not sold to others, everything else is a small problem and they are not afraid of a short separation.

"Miss, why don't you go into the village and rest for a while?" Zhu invited warmly.

Because she knew that the place these people were going to was still desolate and there was nothing there.

Li Chu also spoke at this time, "Anyway, the place assigned to you is just west of the village."

"You have nothing right now. If you want to rest in Datu Village for a while, that's fine."

"But during this period, you must obey the management of Datu Village, and after you have reclaimed the wasteland, you must move out immediately."

In fact, this arrangement of his was already a big concession to them.

Being able to temporarily live in a village is naturally much better than living in the wilderness.

"Then I'd like to trouble Manager Li to make arrangements for us so that we can temporarily settle down in Datu Village before we start reclaiming the wasteland." Xu Zhimo said slowly.

Everyone else was silent. At this moment they completely obeyed the arrangement without any complaints.

Manager Li lowered his head and was silent for a while, then said to his subordinate, "Go find the head of Datu Village, and I will tell him about it."

Although these nearby villages are under his jurisdiction, he doesn't know the specific conditions of each village.

Therefore, we can only find the village head to make the most reasonable arrangements for these people.

Not long after the subordinate received the order and left, he brought back an old man with a hunched back.

"I wonder what important matter has brought Manager Li to our Datu Village all of a sudden?" Huang Lizheng could not hide a hint of panic in his demeanor.

Although he was the head of a village, it was not an official position.

To them, a person like Manager Li is like the arrival of the Lord of Heaven.

After saying hello, he couldn't help but glance at the large group of people following Manager Li.

"It's nothing serious. I just asked you to make arrangements for these prisoners exiled from Kyoto."

"The place where they are exiled is not habitable yet, so they will stay in your village for a while."

"As for how to resettle them, you will be in charge of it." Huang Lizheng felt a little troubled when he heard this. He looked at Li Chu with difficulty.

"Manager Li, I'm afraid this matter is a bit difficult to handle!"

"There are no extra houses in the village, and the food rations are not enough..."

Manager Li frowned. He didn't expect to encounter such a situation.

At this time, Xu Zhimo said: "Don't worry, Li Zheng, we can build a simple shelter ourselves."

"We can also solve the food problem ourselves. All the village head needs to do is allocate a piece of land to us."

Huang Lizheng hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

"In that case, there is a vacant lot at the west end of the village. You can settle down there temporarily." He pointed in the direction of the west end of the village.

"However, you must abide by the rules of the village and not cause trouble." He reminded them at the end.

Everyone said they would abide by the regulations.

Seeing that everything had been arranged, Li Chu casually gave some instructions to Huang Lizheng and left with his men.

Led by Huang Lizheng, everyone came to the open space at the west end of the village.

This open space is not too big, but it is enough to set up camp here temporarily.

Without much ado, after a simple distribution, everyone started to build simple shelters. Some people cut trees, some dug soil, and some were responsible for construction.

Everyone worked together throughout the process without any distinction between different groups, and soon some simple wooden houses were built.

Now everything they do is no longer a matter of a certain family, but a survival plan for a group.

Xiaobai was not idle either. He went into the forest to catch prey.

Although the forests here are relatively barren, there are always some gains for Xiaobai, the king of the jungle.

Although they currently have enough food, it would always be good to have some extra.

It is true that there is strength in numbers. By dinner time, the women who were responsible for cooking had already prepared a simple dinner.

Despite the harsh conditions and the fact that this was only a temporary residence, everyone was full of hope. They believed that through their own efforts, they would be able to survive on this land.

After dinner, everyone sat around the campfire and discussed future plans.

"We can't just rely on hunting and gathering for a living, we must find a more stable livelihood," said Xu Zhimo.

The firelight flickered on his stunning face, giving him a layer of softness.

"I think we can grow some crops." Someone suggested, "The land here looks fertile and suitable for farming."

"But we don't have seeds and farm tools." Someone immediately raised the question.

"It doesn't matter, we can find a way to collect or buy it."

"Tomorrow I will find a few people to go to the nearby towns to see if there are any available resources." Fu Wenli volunteered.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

They knew that in order to survive in this wilderness, they must unite and work together.

As night fell, the bonfire gradually went out and people returned to their simple wooden houses to rest.

Tomorrow, they will face more challenges, but they are not afraid, because they have firm beliefs and visions for a better future...
