After traveling for nearly two whole days, everyone finally arrived at the western suburbs of Nandu City, a disaster relief camp that could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.

It was also raining heavily in Nandu City. Tarpaulins were hung everywhere in the camp to block most of the rain for the victims.

Drainage ditches carry the pouring rainwater to distant places.

Smoke was rising from the stoves here and there, and the aroma of food wafted in, instantly arousing the feeling of hunger.

Seeing all this, Lu Sanweng's anxious heart inexplicably calmed down.

He got off the carriage with the help of a stick and was immediately taken to a shed to line up. Soon, he was given a bowl of steaming ginger soup.

"Drink it quickly to avoid catching a cold! There are too many sick people among the disaster victims. The doctors from Yangzhou and Nandu City are almost overwhelmed in the patient camp!"

"Patient camp? Where is the patient camp?"

Mr. Lu Sanweng thought of his little grandson who had a fever and asked hurriedly.

The ginger soup maker was busy and didn't have much patience:

"How would I know? Wait until you are assigned a place to live and then go out and ask around yourself."

Hearing this, Lu Sanweng had no choice but to be led to drink a bowl of porridge and then assigned a tent to live in.

Only then did he prepare to go out and inquire about the whereabouts of his children and grandchildren.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to leave the tent, he ran into his eldest son, Lu Daniu.

"Dad! I finally found you! I'm so glad you're okay!"

The father and son hugged each other and cried bitterly.

After crying for a long time, they finally calmed down and asked each other about their situations.

It turned out that after Lu Daniu had been walking with his brother and son for more than a day, they met a convoy led by Young Master Zheng on the road, who had sent the elderly, the weak, women, children and the sick like Xiaohu to Nandu City in advance.

When they arrived in Nandu City, they successfully found Xiaohu in the patient camp, and his illness was almost cured.

It is said that Xiaohu said that as soon as they arrived, there was a doctor to see them, and there was someone to make medicine for them. They were protected from the wind and rain, and they were warm and well fed, and were well taken care of.

The food they brought was bought by wealthy businessmen outside the camp at market prices and all exchanged for money.

Although the price was reduced a little because it was wet by the rain, it is still a very fair price.

Lu Sanweng was a little surprised:

"Those grain merchants are usually the most cunning. The grain that has been wet by the rain will soon sprout and mold. How dare they accept it?"

Lu Daniu nodded happily:

"Collect! Dad, you don't know that the people who came this time were all charity merchants. They bought the food and cooked it for the victims. It is said that those merchants donated millions of kilograms of food to the victims!"

"And the two big geese from our second uncle's family were also bought by the righteous merchants at a fair price. Finally, we don't have to worry about how to raise them anymore!"

"The herbs Xiaohu and his friends used were also donated by righteous merchants. The money for hiring a doctor was also donated by righteous merchants!"

Lu Sanweng had lived his whole life, and he had heard of and seen countless victims fleeing famine, and countless people whose families were destroyed.

I have never heard of disaster victims being resettled so well. Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but say with gratitude:

"We are so lucky this time to meet so many good people!"

"Yup!"

Lu Daniu nodded.

"I heard that so many merchants responded actively this time, mainly because of the call of Lord Yan from the Southern Capital. The fact that the camp of hundreds of thousands of people can be so well organized is also thanks to Lord Yan leading the yamen runners to preside over the arrangements!"

As he was speaking, he heard a commotion outside, and someone cheered:

"Master Yan is here!"

"Yan Qingtian is here!"

When the father and son came out of the tent, they saw a middle-aged man in an official robe holding an umbrella, followed by several yamen runners. They were obviously inspecting the camp in the rain.

Lu Sanweng was deeply moved.

"Lord Yan really loves the people like his own children. He is simply the best official in the world!"

Thinking of how he survived, he added:

"Lord Zheng of Yangzhou is also the best official! If Young Master Zheng hadn't personally led the convoy to pick us up, I'm afraid your father would have died on the way! When we have the conditions in the future, we will definitely offer them a longevity tablet!"
