The concubine escaped and cried when she met the prince again

After hearing Shen Ruolan's question, the refugees looked at each other in confusion, not knowing how to answer. They just heard from others that there was water and food here, so they came.

Shen Ruolan saw the refugees were confused and didn't know how to answer. She was silent for a moment and continued to say to them: "I know that everyone is having a hard time, but the villagers here have already handed over all the food they grow to the local government to be used as rations for the soldiers guarding the border. Everyone is also eating one meal a day and has no money to help you anymore, so I hope you won't make things difficult for the local villagers."

The refugees listened to Shen Ruolan's words. After a long silence, someone finally spoke up: "We just want to find a place with water to stay. As for food, we will go to the mountains to find it. We won't cause any trouble for you."

The villagers of Nanfeng Village were still dissatisfied after hearing what the refugees said. Some outspoken villagers said directly, "Water, you can drink as much as you want, but there is only so much food on the mountain. If you go and pick it all, what will we eat?"

"Yes, there are only a few things to eat on the mountain, and you have taken them all. What are we going to eat?" The other villagers also quickly echoed.

"This..." The other refugees didn't know how to answer.

There were indeed a lot of refugees coming with them, and it felt like a swarm of locusts. It was normal that the local villagers opposed them staying here.

However, the silent refugees were still a minority. The brave refugees directly challenged the local villagers: "The mountain belongs to everyone. It is not exclusive to your village. We are all Beiming people. Why don't you let us go up the mountain?"

"That's right, we've already done a good job by not going to your house to rob you, and you dare to stop us here? I think you want to fight."

"That's right. If they really dare to stop us, we will fight them. At most, we can be heroes again in eighteen years." The refugees were talking to each other, becoming more and more excited. Some of them even rolled up their sleeves, ready to fight.

Upon seeing this, the villagers of Nanfeng Village also had people bring out hoes, machetes and other tools from their homes. They warned the refugees with serious faces: "If you dare to take a step forward, let's see who will die faster, you or our hoes."

The refugees snorted and said, "Just leave, who's afraid of who?"

The refugees walked forward as they spoke.

Village Chief Wu was so frightened that he wiped his sweat and quickly stood in front of everyone and said, "Fellow villagers, calm down. Otherwise, if you get hurt and there is no doctor to see you, you will die."

Village Chief Wu's words made the impulsive refugees hesitate for a moment, and then he walked towards them and said, "You're almost starving to death, why do you still care about a little injury?"

As soon as they finished speaking, they shouted loudly: "Go ahead, folks."

When Shen Ruolan saw that the refugees were really about to fight with the villagers, she immediately winked at Ji Han. Ji Han understood, and he hurried to the front, grabbed the people who were making the most noise and started beating them up.

He stopped only after he had knocked several people down. He looked at the refugees who were eager to move and asked, "Who else wants to come up?"

When the refugees saw that Ji Han was a martial artist, they all stopped where they were and didn't dare to move forward.

At this time, an old man suddenly stepped forward and said, "My dear, we just want to find something to eat and stay alive. We don't mean to embarrass you."

Shen Ruolan saw that the fire was almost ready, so she stepped forward and said, "I understand how difficult it is for you all. I have a way to provide you with not only water to drink but also food to eat. I wonder if you are willing to cooperate."

When everyone heard that Shen Ruolan had a way to get everyone to eat, they all looked at her eagerly and asked, "Brother, what do you have in mind?"

After everyone finished talking, they continued to add: "As long as you can let us stutter, we will listen to you in everything."

After Shen Ruolan heard what everyone said, she smiled at everyone and asked, "Are you serious?"

Many refugees immediately responded loudly: "Really, if anyone violates today's words, we will all be struck by lightning."

Shen Ruolan listened to everyone's oath, and she responded to them loudly: "Okay, based on what you said, I promise you that in the future, as long as I, Shen Ruolan, eat a bite, I will never let you down."

After hearing what Shen Ruolan said, the refugees all asked her excitedly, "Master Shen, what do you want us to do?"

Shen Ruolan looked at them and said bluntly: "Right now, disasters are raging everywhere in Beiming Country, and the common people can no longer survive. If you are not afraid of death, follow me to Nanshan. Once there, we will reclaim wasteland and cultivate the land to build a new home of our own."

After listening to Shen Ruolan's words, the refugees were silent for a short time before they all shouted to her, "Okay, we will listen to Master Shen and go to Nanshan to rebuild our homeland."

"Go to Nanshan, go to Nanshan..." the refugees shouted one after another.

Shen Ruolan said loudly to everyone: "Okay, everyone be quiet and listen to me finish my words."

As soon as Shen Ruolan finished speaking, everyone immediately quieted down and pricked up their ears to listen carefully to what Shen Ruolan would say next.

Shen Ruolan looked at the quiet crowd, she paused and continued: "It's late today, everyone stay here at the entrance of the village for one night, tomorrow, I will send someone to take you away."

After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she looked at Village Chief Wu and said, "Old man, let everyone stay here tonight. I will have someone take everyone away tomorrow morning."

Village Chief Wu looked at Shen Ruolan with a complicated expression and said to her, "Brother Shen, as long as everyone does not embarrass the villagers, we have no objection."

After Shen Ruolan heard what Village Chief Wu said, she looked at the refugees and asked loudly, "Did everyone hear what Village Chief Wu said?"

“We heard it,” the refugees responded loudly.

Shen Ruolan then asked: "Can you do it?"

The refugees shouted: “Yes”

"Okay, then please keep your word. Otherwise, if I find someone doing harm to the villagers tomorrow morning, don't blame me for being ruthless." Shen Ruolan said, she looked at Village Chief Wu and said, "Uncle, can I catch the fish in the boundary river?"

Not only was food expensive, it was also hard to buy. It was impossible for her to share her only food with everyone. What's more, the little food she had was not even enough for everyone to have half a bowl of porridge.

So we can only let everyone go down to the river to fish for the time being to fill our stomachs, and we can talk about the rest tomorrow.

After hearing what Shen Ruolan said, Village Chief Wu said to her, "Okay, but the river water is fierce, so you better be careful."

"Okay." After hearing what the village chief said, Shen Ruolan said to Ji Han, "Ji Han, select a hundred strong men from the refugees and follow me."
