Id better go out and sleep. Theyll definitely come to me if theres an emergency at night.

Alright, you go ahead and sleep first. Zhou Ying sent him out and returned to her inters.p.a.ce to get busy.

After she was done, she used the pressure cooker to boil another pot of beef soup.

The next morning, the two ate beef noodles in the inters.p.a.ce.

Gu Chengrui went out to work after he finished breakfast.

As soon as Zhou Ying finished was.h.i.+ng the dishes, villagers began to visit one after another, mainly to inquire about the condition of the refugees.

After Zhou Ying heard this, to avoid causing panic, she only told them that the group of people had a serious case of the flu and asked them not to come if there was nothing important. After that, she didnt say anything else.

This time, the villagers were obedient, and no one came to bother her again except for the village chief.

Three days later, the refugees conditions improved.

Those who were only mildly ill had mostly recovered and were under their care.

Gu Chengrui only had to stay behind occasionally to prescribe medicine and treat their illnesses.

Seven days later, all of them recovered except those who were seriously ill.

Half a month later, all the refugees had completely recovered.

Tian Jingzhong then found Hu Chun and the other refugees elders and asked, What are your plans? Do you want to return to your hometown after the flood, or do you want to live in Qingshui town for a longer time?

Hu Chuns eyes immediately lit up. Qingshui Town, in Yunhe County, was a famous place. It could be said to be a transfer station for the Ming Dynastys river transportation.

The prosperity of this place was great, and it would be best if they could stay.

However, if they didnt have a house or land in this disastrous year, they wouldnt have a good time either.

Are there any suitable houses and lands for us? he asked.

No, even if there are empty houses in the village, there are very few, and they are dilapidated.

However, if you want to build houses, you may be granted land for housing in each village.

As for the land, its just a barren land. You can also buy land from the locals. Tian Jingzhong added.

He paused for a moment and continued, The tents are yours.

Of course, if youre afraid of the cold, you can also live in the warehouse at the dock, where there are also a group of refugees from other places.

As for job placements, you all know what the current year is like. Im afraid its only to help people carry water and cut wood.

Can we discuss this? Ill give you a clear answer tomorrow.

Alright. By the way, if you want to be distributed to different villages, youll have to split up.

Or you could form a village at the foot of the mountains. Its up to you.

As soon as he finished speaking, an old man hurriedly asked, Can we really form a village by ourselves?

If outsiders like them were to be scattered and spread out in the various villages, they would be easily bullied.

However, if they were to form a separate village, it would be different. Although they would suffer in the early stages, they could live a good life after five or six years.

The key was that everyone would be more united after supporting each other along the way.

Of course, but the land is barren. After Tian Jingzhong finished speaking, he pointed at the mountains and said, Go southwest along the foot of the mountain, and theres a village there, and further west of the village is a large open s.p.a.ce.

However, there are a lot of rocks and thistles over there, and its hard to clear them, so we havent been able to distribute them.

I understand. Well study it carefully and give you a reply tomorrow. The old man nodded.

Alright, after youve discussed it, you can come to the village to find the village chief. He will take you to me. After Tian Jingzhong finished speaking, he turned and left..
