Chapter 254: Border Reunion
Chapter 254: Border Reunion
They walked and stopped along the way, and finally they stopped at a valley with water.
Those who came from wealthy families all brought oilcloth with them. They simply chose a suitable piece of land and set up their tents. They were already familiar with this.
Those who did not have tents and brought many servants began to go into the mountains to cut wood and build wooden houses first.
The weather here is really cold. I guess it won’t be long before it snows, maybe in a month or so at most.
The smart refugees, seeing that many of those from wealthy families did not know how to work, volunteered to help them cut wood, asking only that they could be fed.
This is actually a good strategy. Everyone helps each other and the society is relatively harmonious.
Those refugees who wanted to cause trouble did not dare to rob recklessly when they saw that there were more people on their side. After all, they had been hungry for so long. The manpower of both sides was equal. Now it was cold and freezing here, so they could only wait and watch.
Some who couldn't bear it had already moved on to other places.
There were refugees who didn't know where to go, so they started to build shacks and find a place to live.
They felt that it would be better to be with these dignitaries after all, rather than being refugees on the road, where they might starve to death on the roadside one day.
Bai Jintong, Bai Mengshang and their family inspected the surroundings and saw that this was indeed a relatively good place to stay for the time being. As long as those people didn't sit and wait to die, they would not die.
The family decided to take the route to Lingzhu.
The Han and Kang families knew about their family's plan and wanted to follow suit.
The world is really in chaos now, and it's the same everywhere. They think it's better to stay with familiar people. Apart from anything else, Bai Meng can make gunpowder. On this basis, their family can survive anywhere, and those who follow them can also survive together.
Especially the Kang family, which was once a wealthy and powerful family. Now it is surrounded by those refugees and uncertain aristocratic families. It is not certain whether they can leave any bones. It is better for them to follow the Bai family. Even if they die on the frontier, it can be considered a worthy death.
The Qi family and the Han family also believed that it would be better to follow the Bai family and try their luck than to wait for death in this mountain valley.
The mountains here also belong to the northern border, and there is also the Cang Ao Kingdom in the north that has been eyeing them covetously. If the other side attacks, what use will these aristocratic families be?
So it's the same everywhere. It's better to follow the Bai family. At least everyone is familiar with each other, and there will be a rule if there is any problem.
Naturally, the eldest princess would bring Nan Sheng with her to follow the Bai family.
Bai Jintong and his family never expected that so many people would be willing to follow them to Lingzhu.
But the road is open now, so just follow if you want to.
Before leaving, Bai Mengshang still told those who stayed behind some ways to save their lives.
There were two adults in particular who had a good relationship with him, so he taught them a few more things that could be grown in winter. If they had nothing to eat, they could save beans and the like and plant them in a greenhouse or grow bean sprouts.
There is plenty of food now, but don't eat everything. You can go into the woods to hunt for wild vegetables. Just deal with what you can and wait and see the situation after a while.
It can also be regarded as the most benevolent and righteous.
As for where the emperor is, no one cares whether he is dead or alive.
It was a month later that Bai Jintong and his group arrived at Lingzhu.
At this time, the Lingzhu border was in the midst of a fierce battle with the barbarians.
Fortunately, with Xuanrui's help, the Bai family successfully reunited with Hong Tianyu and his wife. They also learned that Bai Jin'an has become a thousand households in just over a month, and they are all very proud of it.
Bai Jin'an learned that his parents and sister had all come here, so when the ceasefire came in the evening, he rushed over to see his relatives overnight, and Nan Mingyu also came with him.
