"Jingtian, I beg you! I swear to God if you are willing to take us away.

We will all obey all your instructions and arrangements and will not cause you any trouble."

The village chief pleaded, saying that there were only about 40 people left in their family.

As long as they can survive, they are really willing to listen to Guo Jingtian in everything.

“Okay, but let’s be clear first, no one is allowed to disobey my orders.

If anyone dares to disobey my orders, I will do everything I can to kill him. Don't blame me for being cruel then.

And once you go up the mountain with me, no one is allowed to come down without my permission within three years.

If you can do this, then you can decide whether to follow us or not."

Guo Jingtian knew that he was now trapped by them. If he didn't take them away, he would probably have to kill them all before he could leave.

But it hasn't come to that point yet. At least there are many strong laborers here, and it won't be a disadvantage to take them to the mountains and let them farm.

The only thing is that we are afraid that when they have food, they will come down the mountain to sell it.

"Okay, we swear here that from now on we will obey all your arrangements and orders. If we dare to disobey you, we will die!"

The village chief immediately took them and swore with three fingers to the sky.

Although they didn't know why they were not allowed to come down the mountain after going up, they would naturally agree if they could survive.

"Okay, then let's get up quickly. If we don't leave quickly, it will be dark soon."

Guo Jingtian made the decision and didn't want to delay any longer.

It was very late at night when they finally arrived at the cave.

"Jingtian, you are finally back! How is the situation outside now?"

Guo Jin had been waiting at the entrance of the cave and was relieved only when he saw his son return.

"Dad, let's go into the cave and talk first. The village chief and the others are coming with us."

Now was not the time for the father and son to chat. Guo Jingtian just wanted to arrange everything for them quickly, so he led his men into the cave.

"Village Chief, why are you here too?"

The people inside saw them coming over, some were happy, some were surprised.

The only thing they are not afraid of is that they have no shortage of food and are not worried about going hungry, so naturally they are not afraid of crowds.

"I didn't expect you were all still alive! You are so lucky, I envy you so much!"

The village chief was really envious when he saw that there were old and young people here and that their wives were still alive.

"Village Chief, stop chatting for now. I'll take you inside to find a place to rest, and then you can chat slowly later."

Guo Jingtian wanted to go back and see his wife as soon as possible, so when he saw them chatting here, he urged them to go.

"it is good."

The village chief led dozens of people and followed him inside, not stopping until they reached the innermost part.

"Village chief, there are people living outside, you can live here.

Although it’s not very ventilated inside, it’s also the safest.”

Guo Jingtian took them to the innermost part of the cave. It was too deep and felt a bit stuffy.

All the people who came before them stayed a little further outside and were much more comfortable.

But now there is no place for them to complain, because the outside is occupied by them.

Although the cave is very large, they now have plenty of food, so each person’s house has a space in the middle to store food.

"Okay, thank you Jingtian!"

The village chief and his family expressed their gratitude once again. Actually, this place was already very good for them.

Guo Jingtian ignored them and went straight back to his room.

"Daughter-in-law, do you miss me?"

As soon as Guo Jingtian came back, he went to the bed and hugged her.

"Want to know what's going on outside now?"

Chen Wanqing also wanted to know what was going on outside.

“It’s not very good. I heard that this snowstorm and flood covered a wide area and many people died.

The imperial court is currently holding an imperial examination to select talents. Wife, I want to give it a try, is that ok?"

Guo Jingtian held her with one hand and touched her belly with the other. Their child was about to be born.

"Okay, do you want to take me out with you?"

Chen Wanqing looked at him and asked, if this damn man dared to leave her alone here, then she would give him a good beating.

"Of course I will take you with me. I will never be separated from you in this life."

After saying this, Guo Jingtian kissed her on the face. He had been away for such a long time without seeing his wife, so he didn't even have to take the exam. He missed his wife so much that he was going crazy.

"Ah That's good!"

When Chen Wanqing heard him say this, she let him arrange the rest as he pleased.

The next day, Guo Jingtian took the village chief and others up the mountain to open up wasteland and plant the second crop.

Although they are planted on the mountains, they are planted in places with mountain spring water.

“Village chief, you will plant this piece of mountain from now on. I will give you seeds and also lend you four months’ worth of food and salt.

From now on, I will take two layers of the food we grow, and you will take one layer. As long as you grow well, you will definitely have enough to eat every day."

Guo Jingtian took them to the place and returned their tools, but then he didn't want to bother with them anymore as he had his own things to do.

"Okay, don't worry, we are all farmers, and there will be no problem with farming."

The village chief saw such a large mountain and the water source was also good.

Now we can lend them food, so they don’t have to worry about starving to death in the future.

Now they have various tools for farming, and they are very confident.

After all, they are all from the same village. If Guo Jingtian and his family can do it, they can do it too.

"Dad, I will take Wanqing down the mountain tomorrow, and I will leave this place to you."

When Guo Jingtian came back, he wanted to talk to his father.

"I want to go with you too. Wanqing is about to give birth and I'm worried about you."

Guo Jin didn't want to stay in this mountain alone. Nothing was more important than his son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren.

"Dad, we can't let them take out the seeds here, otherwise it will bring disaster to our family.

As for Wanqing, it was because she was about to give birth that I wanted to take her downstairs. There was no doctor upstairs and I was worried that it would be unsafe for her to give birth.

I will make arrangements for her and the child, so you don't have to worry at all.

And after I take the imperial examination, I will arrange for someone to come back and tell you the situation as soon as possible."

Guo Jingtian wanted to get some points in the imperial examination, so he could present the seeds of these foods to the court.

This will benefit all ordinary people, and there won't be so many people starving.

He didn't ask for great merit, but at least he wanted to keep his family safe.
