Gao Fangfang saw Chen Changli leave.

Now that Wan Shufang said such words, she couldn't help but suspect that the couple was having a conflict.

"From the Chen family, the man in charge of your family has been very kind to you. Don't get angry with him just because of your anger." Gao Fangfang persuaded her kindly.

Wan Shufang's cheeks were slightly red: "I didn't make trouble with him. He had something to do. I didn't want to hold him back, so I just wanted to take everyone to Jingzhou as soon as possible."

"So that's what happened." Gao Fangfang breathed a sigh of relief, "I will go find everyone now and ask them what they think."

She went to work.

At this time, Chen Xiyun came over with Wu Qiaoyue.

Wan Shufang took them to see the village chief, told her why she came, and said: "There are many refugees outside Liangcheng, and there is a plague among the refugees. The plague is fierce and terrible. We can't take any chances and must leave as soon as possible." Here."

The village chief didn't know this, but Chen Changli had said before that he wanted to inquire about the situation in Liangcheng before making a decision to go to Jingzhou.

The villagers were not willing to run around anymore. They were willing to follow him to this mountain, not only to brew medicine and take it, but also to wait for someone to inquire about the situation in Liangcheng and then enter Liangcheng.

The village chief said hesitantly: "The situation in Liangcheng may not be that bad."

Wan Shufang asked calmly: "Do you want to bet on a possibility?"

The village chief shook his head hurriedly: "I don't dare to bet."

"Isn't this what it is?" Wan Shufang emphasized, "Village Chief, to be honest, the danger now is not the refugees but the plague. That is the most deadly thing. As long as we stay here for one more day, we may be infected with the plague."

The village chief looked panicked, and his voice rose unconsciously: "You are absolutely right, the plague is the top priority, we cannot ignore it."

He walked around, thinking with a frown, and then made a decision, "You take the women in the village to collect medicine, and I will choose a few strong people to inquire about the situation, and then in the evening When the time comes, I will lead everyone to make a decision.”

Although he is the village chief of Sifang Village, he is not the only voice in the village.

He wanted to make a decision and had to find a way to convince the villagers.

The village chief began to take action. Some of the villagers were moved by his words, but others complained that he was always thinking about it.

"Village Chief, what do you want from us? You were the one who said you came to Liangcheng, and now you are the one who says Liangcheng is dangerous. So where should we go?"

"That's right, if we had known things would become so complicated, we should have stayed in the village."

After hearing what these people said, the village chief was furious: "Do you think I want to change my mind all the time? It's not because the situation here is different from what I thought."

"Folks, I'm doing this all for you. If you don't want to listen to me, then there's really nothing I can do."

"As for returning to the village, you have seen the situation in the town with your own eyes, and the court is going to raise taxes and recruit soldiers, and the refugees are rioting because of this matter. If you continue to stay in the village, even if you are lucky and don't meet the refugees, , you still have to starve to death."

The village chief's face showed some anger at the end of his words, and his voice became sharper.

"I know you are all scared and scared, but I have always been thinking of ways for you, why can't you think of me?"

"If possible, I will take you into the city immediately and I will never let you stay here and suffer."

"But I don't have that ability. I'm just an ordinary person. Let alone entering the city, I can't even defeat the refugees who rush to rescue."

After the village chief said this, he really didn't want to pay attention to these people anymore, so he turned around and returned to his family, silently angry.

Chen Xiyun glanced at the villagers, then lowered her voice and asked Wan Shufang: "Mom, you have also seen the attitude of the villagers. Plus what happened before, why do you still want to help them?"

"I just want to feel better." Wan Shufang said meaningfully.

"Are you blaming yourself for what happened to Master Shen?" Chen Xiyun couldn't help but guess.

Wan Shufang glanced at her and saw the worry about herself in her eyes, so she sighed: "I felt a little guilty at first, but after I figured out some things, I no longer blamed myself, but realized something more clearly. The thing is, I should take action when I can, and don’t hesitate, otherwise I will regret it.”

When she said this, she looked at the tangled villagers with dark eyes and lowered her voice: "Xiyun, the villagers are not evil, they just have no choice."

"I don't understand." Chen Xiyun's face was full of confusion.

"Do you still remember the incident of bandits and the theft of medicinal materials?" Wan Shufang asked in a gentle voice.

Chen Xiyun nodded, and then realized what Wan Shufang meant.

The villagers were starving at the beginning, but their lives were still okay, so even if they knew that the Chen family was making money growing medicinal materials, they had no other bad intentions and instead helped the Chen family catch the thieves.

But now the villagers can no longer live their lives, and the shadow of hunger and death has been accompanying them.

The Chen family performed slightly better, and with the instigation of some people, the villagers would naturally target the Chen family and seek a chance for themselves.

"We are now the same as them." Wan Shufang said specifically.

After all, the villagers were robbed of food. Although her house was also robbed of things, there was still a carriage.

Everyone couldn't see what was in the carriage, but they could see the horse.

Paying attention to horses all the time when you are hungry will naturally make some hungry people have some thoughts that they shouldn't have.

Now that the carriage was gone, Chen Changli let the horse go before anyone could react.

Their family followed the villagers walking here, and the villagers would naturally notice this. Comparing the situation between the two, they would naturally have no other thoughts.

"Mom has figured it out. If she hadn't been on this journey, how could we have survived until now?" Chen Xiyun praised.

Wan Shufang glanced at her, smiled slightly and said, "I'm just older than you, so I can figure out these twists and turns."

"You have to be more careful in the future. Don't let others see what you are thinking and then be taken advantage of."

Chen Xiyun nodded solemnly to express his acceptance.

Wan Shufang smiled again, then took the initiative to go out and talk to the villagers, and then led some women who were willing to collect medicine up the hillside.

She is very busy here.

Chen Changli, who made a special circle and bypassed the refugees and directly crossed the city wall with Qinggong, quickly found the magistrate's office.

At this time, the prefect said irritably: "Why is there a plague in the city? I haven't let any refugees in."

"Why? You have the nerve to ask, is it because of your inaction that the plague appeared in the city?" Chen Changli appeared directly in front of him, staring at him with cold eyes.

"Who are you?" The prefect was startled, then realized and screamed, "This is the county government, how could you run in? Someone, come and catch the thief!"
