The closer the old and young bosses and their bandits got to Jingnan County, the more refugees they encountered on the road. Most of these refugees were from other counties who had fled to Jingnan. The local victims in Jingnan had already been resettled in flood shelters.
"Master, there are five flood shelters in Jingnan County. The Dongshan Flood Shelter is the closest to our Dahou Mountain. If there is any accident, we can easily escape. Why would we go to the Beijiao Flood Shelter instead of the nearby one?"
When they were almost at the flood refuge area in the northern suburbs of Jingnan County, a one-eyed bandit who had been holding it in all the way finally couldn't help but ask.
This refugee transfer was strongly promoted by the young master, and the northern suburbs flood shelter was also decided by the young master. So, he asked the young master. In the eyes of the one-eyed bandit, the Dongshan flood shelter, which is closest to the mountain stronghold, is the most ideal place for their trip. He doesn't understand why the young master chose the northern suburbs flood shelter.
"The one who is closest to the water gets the moon first." The girl dressed as a man said lightly without turning her head.
What do you mean? The one-eyed bandit was confused, not understanding what the young master meant by this.
Besides, doesn’t the young master hate scholars the most? Why does he sometimes say a few flowery words
"You have a pig brain. Young Master's intention is that the Northern Suburbs Flood Refuge is closest to Jingnan County. Among the five major flood refuges, it is easiest to get supplies from the Jingnan County Government, and it also has the most abundant food and fodder. Also, if you were to ask where there are the most fat sheep within a hundred miles, it would certainly be in Jingnan County. We can deal with the emergency in the Northern Suburbs Flood Refuge, and then find a few more fat sheep, and then we can rebuild the stronghold."
A skinny bandit with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks slapped the one-eyed bandit on the back of his head and cursed him in a neutral tone.
"Oh, so that's how it is. The young master is wise. There are many wealthy dog owners in the county. If we make a few, we can eat for at least three years." After hearing the explanation, the one-eyed bandit suddenly realized and couldn't help getting excited.
The bandits were also excited.
"Hehe... Actually, there is an old friend in Jingnan County." The young master, who was dressed as a man, walked and seemed to suddenly think of something, and couldn't help but giggle.
"What old friend? Male or female?!"
When the old boss heard the word "old friend", he immediately pricked up his ears and asked nervously, just like an old father in modern times who hears that his daughter is dating someone, and is afraid that his daughter has been deceived by some bastard.
"A nerd." The girl rolled her eyes.
"Nerd... Then I feel relieved." Upon hearing this, the old boss was obviously relieved and his worries were put down. His daughter hated scholars the most, let alone nerds.
When they were almost at the Northern Suburbs Flood Refuge, the old boss turned his head and glanced at the bandits, grinning with his white teeth, and said with a stern smile: "You bastards! Listen up, when you get to the Northern Suburbs Flood Refuge, be obedient. We are disaster victims, remember?! If any bastard shows his hand, I will chop him off! If anyone dares to act privately without my and Ruonan's orders, I will chop him off too!"
"Don't worry, old boss. We know the seriousness of the matter." The bandits responded one after another.
Soon the bandits arrived at Jingnan’s largest flood refuge area—the Jingnan County North Suburb Flood Refuge.
"Wow, that's huge!"
"Oh my god! Is this a refugee camp or a military camp? How come it is arranged so neatly? When I was a soldier in a garrison, I never saw a garrison so neat and orderly."
When they arrived at the northern suburbs flood refuge area, the bandits were stunned by the orderly flood refuge area in front of them, which looked like a camp. A refugee camp should be smelly and messy, but why is it so clean and tidy here? This doesn't look like a refugee camp at all. The camp and camp set up by the famous generals are just like this.
"Hahaha... You must be stunned. New here, where are you from? You have never seen a refugee camp like this, right? Let me tell you, this was planned and arranged by our county lord himself."
The local disaster victims who were sitting and basking in the flood shelter couldn't help but burst into laughter when they saw their stunned looks.
Haha, I just like to see their inexperienced looks. Actually, they have seen a lot of stunned expressions like theirs these days. Almost every refugee who fled here would have this stunned expression when they saw our Jingnan County northern suburbs flood refuge area.
Don't you think about who planned this flood refuge? It was our county magistrate who personally led people to plan it.
A sense of superiority arises suddenly.
"Indeed, fellow villager, we fled here from Taiping County. Have you heard of Laohuaishu Village and Zhangba Village? After this flood, we are the only ones left in our two villages..."
The young master spoke in a deliberately hoarse voice and made up two village names. When he got to the end, his eyes instantly turned red and his voice choked.
This acting skill is unparalleled, a hundred times better than those modern actresses who have to use wind oil and chili powder to cry. If it happened in modern times, this acting skill would win her an Oscar.
"Oh, how pitiful. Come on, come in, I'll take you to see Liu Dianli to register. Liu Dianli will take care of you. Don't worry, our flood shelter was expanded a few days ago, and there is a place for you to stay. Don't worry when you get here, we have a place to stay, food and drink."
The local disaster victims saw this and immediately sympathized with him. As for the Laohuaishu Village and Zhangba Village mentioned by the young man, he had no doubts at all. What did he, a Jingnan native, know about the villages in Taiping County? The local disaster victims were very enthusiastic and experienced. They had received too many refugees in this flood shelter in recent days.
"Uncle, thank you so much, you are so kind. Dad, we are saved."
The girl pretended to be so excited that tears welled up in her eyes and thanked the local victims, speaking with a sob.
"Let me tell you, our Beijiao Flood Refuge is our, no, our Jingnan's largest flood refuge. We have set up five flood refuges in total in Jingnan County, and our Beijiao Flood Refuge is the largest. How big is it? Let me tell you a number. There are more than 19,600 people in total. There are about 10,000 local victims in Jingnan, and the other 9,000-plus victims are all refugees from Taiping County, Tiantai County and other places like you, especially from Taiping County. Our county magistrate is kind-hearted and gives refugees a way to live, unlike the county magistrates in some places who drive the refugees away."
This local disaster victim was a talkative man. He kept talking on the way to lead the bandits to find Liu Dianli to register.
Coupled with the young master's subtle guidance, the local victims revealed the situation of the flood shelter in detail along the way.
With the guidance of local disaster victims, the bandits were quickly settled in the flood shelter.
