"Okay, then you must be careful in everything you do and always put your own safety first.

And bring Xiao Taozi with you so she can take care of Wanqing and the child."

When Guo Jin heard him talking about these high-yield foods, he also realized the seriousness of these matters.

They have never seen such a high-yield food in their lives. If the news gets out, too many people will want to get it.

At night, Guo Jingtian gathered everyone together and explained everything to them.

Also tell them clearly if he hasn't come back yet.

If anyone dared to disobey his order and go down the mountain without permission, he would kill his entire family when he returned.

Everyone repeatedly assured that they would absolutely obey all his orders.

“Jingming, Jingxuan, Jinglin, Daoyou, the four of you will come down the mountain with us tomorrow, and pack up the things you need to take with you tonight.

Don't worry, when I come back, I will definitely give you more than what you get here by growing crops."

Guo Jingtian still decided to take a few men with him. His wife is pregnant now, and he is afraid that it will be inconvenient if he doesn't take some of his own people with him.

"It doesn't matter if you want to be paid or not, but I just know that listening to you can keep us alive, hehe."

Guo Jinglin looked at his wife and children not far away and felt that it was really good to follow Brother Jingtian.

Look at the village chief’s family now. There are only a few women left, let alone children and elderly people.

So now they have wives and children, all thanks to Brother Jingtian.

The other few people who were named naturally had no objections. For so long, they had become accustomed to obeying Guo Jingtian's arrangements.

"Xiao Taozi, go pack your things and come with us tomorrow."

After saying something to her, Guo Jingtian went back to his room to rest.

After dawn the next day, Guo Jingtian packed up all his things and prepared to leave the cave with his men.

"Third brother-in-law, can I go down the mountain with you?"

Chen Dawei wanted to tell him last night, but he never found the chance. So today he waited at the entrance of the cave early.

"No, we're not going out to play, and we don't have time to look after you.

So you guys just stay here and I will let you go down the mountain when the time comes."

Guo Jingtian refused directly.

"Okay, Third Sister, take care of yourself!"

Seeing that he didn't agree, Chen Dawei didn't dare to refute and just said goodbye to his third sister.

"Wife, how about we make a stretcher and carry you? I'm really worried about you walking like this."

When Guo Jingtian saw that his wife’s belly was so big, his heart trembled with every step she took, for he was afraid that she would fall.

"No, I can walk more steadily on my own. Don't worry, I won't fall."

Chen Wanqing didn't want to be carried by them. If she fell while being carried by them, she would definitely be badly hurt.

Although she is a little clumsy now, she is still able to walk, just a little slower.

They walked together until it was almost dark before they arrived at Guojia Village.

Although they had brought down the two horses, there was no carriage now, so they could only spend the night in Guojia Village.

There are no houses here now, but there is still a shed that the village chief and others had built before.

After daybreak, they continued their journey. Instead of going to the town, they went directly to the academy in the county.

"Wife, are we going to buy a house or rent one?"

Guo Jingtian now has silver and banknotes on him, so he is not worried about money.

"Rent it. Maybe you can pass the imperial examination successfully this time, and then you will have to go to the provincial capital next time, so renting a house is more suitable."

Chen Wanqing felt that renting a house would be faster. She was a little tired and wanted to settle down and rest early.

"Okay, then you guys sit down for a while, I'll be back as soon as possible."

They were now in a teahouse. After Guo Jingtian finished speaking, he took Guo Jingming out.

There are still many places in the county where you can see the marks left by the flood, but there are many people cleaning them up, so we can live a normal life.

Guo Jingtian soon rented a small villa next to the academy.

The county town is wide, so the flood's impact is not that strong, and many houses here have not collapsed.

Chen Wanqing and the others were brought here quickly. There was still some silt in many places in the house.

Guo Jingtian brought Guo Jingming and a few others, bought some necessities, and then quickly cleaned the house.

It was not until the next day that Guo Jingtian went to the academy with the letter of introduction.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the academy, I met Tian Kai and Zhang Deyou.

After a while of greetings, the three of them realized that both of them had no family left.

“I rented a small yard here, although it is not very big, it has 6 rooms.

We can still accommodate both of you if we squeeze in, do you want to live there together?"

Guo Jingtian knew from the looks of the two of them that the situation was not that good.

They had a very good relationship in the past few years, so I'll help if I can now.

"Okay, thank you Jingtian!"

When Zhang Deyou heard his words, his eyes immediately turned red, even though he had listened to him and stockpiled some supplies before the snowstorm.

But unfortunately, he was just a weak scholar, and when the real disaster came, he could not protect himself at all.

But the only good thing was that he had his food hidden in several places.

Although all his family members lost their lives, he managed to survive.

"Good brother, I, Tian Kai, will recognize you as my elder brother for the rest of my life, and I am willing to go through fire and water for you in the future."

There was no need for Tian Kai to thank him. After meeting him the day before yesterday and returning home, he saw that the bag he had given him was full of fried pancakes.

This thing not only contains oil but also salt. He hasn't eaten this for more than two or three months, so thanking him now would be too light.

"Okay, stop talking. Let's go in and ask the teacher about the situation."

Guo Jingtian led them into the academy.

But what they didn’t expect was that after the three of them entered, the teacher of the academy was extremely happy to see that they all had letters of recommendation.

Even the dean of the academy came out in person to meet the three students.

It was not for any other reason, but because I was happy to see three scholars still alive.

It has been more than a month since they posted the notice, and less than 20 people have come to their college.

After the dean knew where they lived, he asked them to come to the academy for classes tomorrow, as the imperial examination would start in less than 10 days.

If they can produce a few talented students this year, that would be a very good result.

"Jingtian, you are so knowledgeable, you will definitely have no problems in this scientific examination. No one is trying to harm you."

On their way back, Zhang Deyou suddenly said this.

"Hmm? Why do you say that?"

Guo Jingtian was a little confused, because his words seemed to have a deeper meaning. Could it be that someone had harmed him in the past?
