I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 424 Gratitude

 It is a good thing to set up porridge shacks outside the county town. At least there are people who stutter, so the refugees will not take risks to grab food.

Li Qi held the reins, sat steadily on the horse, and glanced around.

"We have posted notices along the road. The victims will naturally go there if they get the message. This time, the rice porridge sheds were donated by the surrounding gentry and merchants. It is a great act of charity. I heard that it will continue until all the victims are taken care of. It will be evacuated only after the arrangements are made.”

Everyone listened with surprise in their eyes, it was so real and great.

 Once the disaster victims are resettled, their lives will be peaceful.

“Thank you, Chief Li, for informing us. Now that we have arrived at Willow Bay, if you don’t mind, can Chief Li move over and have a drink of water?”

Bai Yunsong bowed her hands to him and invited people to come to the village to rest, taking the opportunity to build relationships. Later, he would go to the town to make acquaintances and do things easily.

Li Qi looked at him, then at the surrounding villagers, and shook his head.

“I won’t go today. I have to put up notices along the road and patrol again.”

Bai Yunsong listened and wanted to invite again. Before he could open his mouth, the old patriarch interrupted him.

"Since Chief Li has official duties, we won't delay your inspection. The victims of the disaster have been making a lot of noise recently, and the surrounding villages must be similar to ours. Chief Li personally led the team to visit and shocked the victims. I don’t dare to make trouble anymore.”

Chief Li Qi looked at the old patriarch and cupped his hands, "Brother Bai, I haven't seen you for a long time. You seem to be in good spirits. Let's go back to town. Brother, just go find me and let's have a drink."

"Thanks to Elder Li, apart from being old, I am still pretty strong. When I'm free, I'll go ask Elder Li for a drink."

 “It’s settled, let’s go.”

Li Qi laughed, turned the horse's head, and left with the people.

　　Seeing Chief Li leading the people to the official road, Bai Yunsong felt regretful, but thinking about his father's friendship with him, he was not too anxious. He turned around and waved to the villagers.

"You have all heard what Chief Li Qi said. A porridge shed is going to be opened in the county town. From now on, we will be clean. Let's all go back."

The villagers couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing this.

“I can finally feel relieved. I’ve been so worried these days that I haven’t had a good night’s sleep.”

“Yes, we only have this little ration at home, and we are worried that it will be stolen in the blink of an eye. The government has opened porridge sheds and the victims have food, so they don’t worry about our little ration.”

While everyone was rejoicing, the families who had been robbed walked to Baiyun Creek and Baiyun Mountain with expressions of gratitude on their faces.

 “Thank you to my aunt and brother Yunshan for helping us get food back.”

“Yes, thank you Aunt Bai, you are bolder than us guys. Without my cooperation with Uncle Yunshan, our food might not be safe.”

Bai Yunxi watched them thanking him and waved his hand.

“We all live in the same village, so I’m happy to be able to do my best. Besides, I’ll just say it, it’s better for you and your cousin to cooperate.”

"Hey... I can't say that, sister-in-law. You are a learned person and use your brain. We have only a handful of strength, but our brains are not as good as yours."

The man said, scratching his head with a smile.

Baiyunshan looked at him and flicked his forehead rudely.

“You are a good talker, kid. Okay, send the food home quickly so that your mother can feel at ease.”

The refugees retreated and the villagers also went back. Baiyunxi was also preparing to go home. When he turned around, he saw his eldest cousin with a gloomy face.
