After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man
Chapter 129: Chaos in Bingzhou Prefecture!
Sitting on the edge of the ox cart, Xiao Yan's little hand gently stroked the bottom of Bai Qingyun's eyes, and looked at Bai Qingyun with a thoughtful look, indicating that she should take time to rest.
"I'm fine, I'll be fine after a good night's sleep!"
If you can’t sleep at night on normal days, you can go into the space and get a good night’s sleep and then come out in time.
It’s just that it’s really inconvenient now that we’re in the wild.
Bai Qingyun regretted more than once that he did not buy a carriage. In a closed carriage, Bai Qingyun could move freely in and out of the space without any worries.
Now I can only hope to get to Pingcheng Prefecture as soon as possible to see if there is a chance to buy a carriage.

More than a month after the team set out, the snow gradually became lighter as they moved further southwest, and even the snow on the roadside melted a lot.
While busy on the road, Twelve received a letter from Wei Xi via carrier pigeon.
The people who came to Dayang Village to recruit soldiers found that the village was empty, so they looted the entire village and then set it on fire.
The fire burned for three whole days, and everyone in Baiyang Town knew about it.
Some people despise Dayang Village for deserting the battlefield, while others envy Dayang Village for avoiding disaster. Regardless of which group of people they are, their families have been conscripted.
After Bai Qingyun knew the news, he did not hide it from those who were on the road.
Doing good things invisibly is not Bai Qingyun's style.
She just wanted everyone to know that the Bai family had saved Dayang Village once again. Even if it was out of gratitude, or even just to work harder after surviving the disaster, it was a good thing for the time being.
The government did issue a wanted order, but the entire Bingzhou prefecture was in chaos and could not spare any manpower to catch up with the people in Dayang Village.
Perhaps the Qujiang County government also sent people to chase him, but it was difficult to guess the route to Dayang Village, and in the end they found nothing.
Twelve came forward and said, "In two days, we will reach Sishui County in Pingcheng Prefecture."
The first month of the year passed quietly as we hurried on our way. As February came, the ice and snow gradually melted, and everyone's pace became much lighter.
It was another evening, and the team from Dayang Village was stationed at the foot of a mountain. The mountain was not big, and Huo Huo searched the entire mountain but could not find a cave suitable for living.
Thanks to Bai Qingyun's camping experience, he taught everyone how to make a simple tent with thick oilcloth, so that they can sleep soundly even on snowy nights.
There were many people in the Bai family, so they set up two tents, one for men and one for women.
Twelve and Bai Qingyun, Yang Dashan and Village Chief Yang, were discussing tomorrow's itinerary as usual.
"Bai girl, do you have any food?"
Village chief Yang sat in front of the fire, looking at the boiling porridge in the pot, his brows furrowed for a long time.
"Grandpa Village Chief, how long can the food we have last?"
Bai Qingyun was also looking forward to hearing the answer he wanted.
Two days, as long as they can hold on for two days, the team will reach Sishui County.
The Bingzhou Prefecture's wanted warrant was for private conscription, not to mention that a warrant for the arrest of an entire village was a major case and usually had to be reported.
Therefore, the wanted order was not passed on to Pingcheng Prefecture.
All the merchants in Bingzhou Prefecture fled, but life in Pingcheng Prefecture remained the same. No matter what they wanted to buy, Bai Qingyun could buy it for the people of Dayang Village.
The reason why I am so confident is that my experiences in this life have not changed much compared to the previous life.
It was only a matter of time before the news of the government's conscription spread. As more and more people were affected, the matter became completely known in Bingzhou Prefecture.
Many people who were short of food at home after the New Year, or who went to the city to look for work, returned empty-handed.
The longer the problem persists, the more serious it becomes.
As the people in one village rebelled and injured the soldiers who came to recruit soldiers, the people of the entire Bingzhou Prefecture also began to consciously resist.
However, these confrontations were ineffective under the sharp swords.
Later, even those who had surplus food at home were robbed by the crowd.
Seeing that it was becoming increasingly difficult to suppress the movement, officers and soldiers also joined the looting group.
Some robbed food, some robbed people, and some even dreamed of becoming local emperors and dominating the area.
As more and more people fled, the team from Dayang Village became less special.
However, the suffering people rarely choose to flee to the southwest.
The southwest is barren and has a bad climate. People who have lived in poverty all their lives finally want to escape and naturally want to go to the rich southeast.
However, the fleeing people did not want to take a long detour and chose the nearest Pingcheng Prefecture, hoping to escape from the predicament as soon as possible.
When traveling, I have seen people pushing carts, and I have also seen people just carrying bags on their backs.
As the team from Dayang Village grew larger, those scattered people would take detours when they saw them. Those who were bolder and wanted to get something for free saw that everyone was eating thin porridge and the people from Dayang Village had no intention of sharing a bowl, so they stopped pretending to be attentive.
Having fewer people has its advantages.
In places with a lot of people, local authorities will not easily accept them. As more and more people fled from Bingzhou Prefecture, the number was no less than that during a famine.
To settle such a large number of people is not just a matter of arranging a place for them. The deeds and documents for these people are simple matters. The key is to feed such a large number of people before they are able to survive.
We need food, and without food, we need money. Either way, it is not easy to solve.
On the other hand, Pingcheng Prefecture, which had a smaller population, was adjacent to Bingzhou Prefecture, but because fewer people had fled, it was much easier to open the granaries and store grain, making it easier to settle down.
Therefore, as long as everyone can hold on for two more days and arrive at Sishui County, even if there is no food to sell, Bai Qingyun will be able to use the cover to take out the food in the space.
Maybe life always has to go through many tests, and reality is not that just right.
Village Chief Yang's words finally brought Bai Qingyun back to reality: "Bai girl, everyone's rice bags are empty. After tomorrow, we will be completely out of food!"
While speaking, Village Chief Yang also gestured to Bai Qingyun to look up at the villagers in the tent.
Due to not having enough food for a long time and traveling for a long time, everyone was collapsed in the tent.
With insufficient food, lack of physical strength, and no source of heat, the family huddled together in the tent to keep warm.
"Grandpa Village Chief, I'll find a way to get food for tomorrow!"
Some things come too easily and people don't cherish them.
Along the way, Bai Qingyun had many opportunities to take out food, but feeding the entire village was a large number of people and would take a long time. Many considerations made her finally give up.
But now everyone has obviously reached their limit, not to mention two days and two days of food. Bai Qingyun still has a way.
"Twelve, what do you eat in the wild when you're on a mission?"
"You can eat anything, including the birds and beasts in the mountains and the fish and shrimp in the water!"
Bai Qingyun looked helpless. Is it possible that a normal person would not know what to eat in the wild?
Even if you don’t know, you’ll know it all after spending some time in the wild!
Bai Qingyun just took the opportunity to let her use her skills to go hunting in the mountains, and also gave Bai Qingyun the opportunity to take out the game in the space.
But Twelve remained expressionless, as if he didn't understand Bai Qingyun's implication.
