Chapter 288
Lin Zaozao sighed helplessly and turned to walk towards the carriage. Seeing Xiao Taohua standing by the carriage, Lin Zaozao gave him a princess carry and directly placed him into the carriage.
"Ruo Qiu, Fantian Baby, Ye Yi, Xiao Liuli, and Little Xibei, you all don't need to ride horses. Since the distance to the disaster victims is not far, all of you will ride in the carriage!"
"Okay, Zaozao."
After everyone got on the carriage, Lin Zaozao turned and sat on the carriage with Gu Shan and Xiao Taohua.
As for Dalu and the others, they honestly followed behind the carriage, communicating in the unfamiliar frontier language along the way.
Just as the scout had reported, when Lin Zaozao's caravan reached another official road, there were indeed a pile of ragged disaster victims lying on the sides of the road.
As far as the eye could see, they were all men. Lin Zaozao didn't see a single woman.
They looked pale and thin, but their spirits were still quite good. At least they weren't as emaciated as the ones Lin Zaozao had seen on television in her previous life.
Judging from their ability to chat with their companions, these people must have had enough to eat in the last few days.
When the disaster victims lying on the roadside saw Lin Zaozao's carriage, Lin Zaozao clearly saw the scrutinizing gaze in their eyes.
Their gaze seemed to be testing whether they had the ability to rob Lin Zaozao's caravan.
Facing the scrutinizing gaze of the disaster victims, Lin Zaozao almost rolled her eyes to the heavens. Was this a typical case of the farmer and the snake?
She had promised the System to save these disaster victims. But the moment they saw her, they were thinking about how to rob her caravan.
[System, can I not save these disaster victims? I feel their gaze on the caravan is not right. It's really not good!]
[Host, the people of the frontier region have simple minds and have always revered brute force. If the host can subdue them, they naturally won't dare to cause trouble.
And haven't you noticed? Among these disaster victims, they are all men, not a single woman.
That means they had very well protected their families before the disaster came.
They would rather set out on an unknown path than not protect their wives, daughters, and mothers.
This alone is enough to admire them.]
[Damn System, you're right. Since these people only revere brute force, then I'll give them a good lesson in moral ethics!
I'll tell them what it means to win people over with virtue.]
[Host, do you have virtue?]
[Damn System, even lacking virtue is also a kind of virtue, understand?]
[Ha! I just understood! Next, please go ahead and win people over with your lack of virtue!]
Lin Zaozao looked at the men slowly approaching her caravan. She quickly grabbed the already drawn knife from Gu Shan, signaling him to sit back down. Gu Shan was a pregnant person, how could he just casually fight and kill? If he got hurt, what would they do?
"Zaozao, I'll go down and deal with them."
Xiao Taohua held back the Lin Zaozao who was about to jump off the carriage, and his eyes were full of killing intent as he looked at the approaching disaster victims.
They had originally wanted to listen to Zaozao and go help these disaster victims. But now it seems they had the audacity to try and rob the caravan.
"Xiao Taohua, you with your big belly, be a little more well-behaved. Watch your wife, I guarantee I can subdue them without having to deploy a single soldier."
After comforting Xiao Taohua by patting his hand, Lin Zaozao jumped down from the carriage, grabbing the whip from the coachman.
"Hey hey hey! You all stop for a moment, let's clarify things! Are you all approaching aggressively to rob us of our wealth? Or are you planning to rob us of our women?"
Lin Zaozao's questions made the disaster victims pause in their steps. They bent down and looked warily at the small fatty (who had gained fifty jin) blocking the carriage in front of them.
"Tell me! Are you here to rob us of our wealth, or are you here to rob us of our women?
Now hearing this man say that life is precious, Lin Zaozao couldn't help but be surprised.
This ragged man seemed to have quite some insight.
"I can give you all plenty of food! But, you must also promise me that after receiving the food, you will not harm anyone else."
"I, Dadala, am the chief of the Tuya tribe. I swear by our tribe's totem that even in our destitute state, we have never harmed another person's life carelessly."
"You're still the chief of a tribe?"
Lin Zaozao looked at the thin, sallow-faced man before her, her expression filled with disbelief.
How could a tribal chief have fallen into such a wretched state?
"My name is Dadala, and I am the chief of the Tuya tribe. This year, beyond the frontier, there was snowfall in June.
This sudden snowfall caused extremely grave losses for all of us, as we were completely unprepared.
In our Tuya tribe, the heavy snowfall froze all our cattle and sheep to death. Even some of the children who had not yet grown up.
After the heavy snow, it then became scorchingly hot. From the freezing cold to the blistering heat, the frozen cattle, sheep, and people had no time to be processed before they rotted and stank in the blazing sun.
Because of those decaying corpses, in less than a month, the remaining people all fell ill.
The strong men were still manageable, but the frail women and children - they were the first to succumb to the diseases.
Miss, in just one month, the women and children... they..."
"They all died?"
Lin Zaozao asked, stunned.
"No, no, they didn't die. Miss, in the wind valleys of the frontier, there lived a divine doctor.
Whenever someone in our Tuya tribe fell ill, we would all go to the Wind Valley to seek out that divine doctor for treatment.
But recently, the divine doctor had to return to the central plains for some matter. To try to treat the women and children in our tribe, we could only take them and venture into the interior, hoping to find the divine doctor and beg him to save our tribe's women and children. Even if it meant becoming his slaves."
Looking at the tall, hunched man before her, Lin Zaozao's heart truly ached.
After all, the man standing before her was a truly good-hearted person.
"Dadala!"
"Miss, Miss?"
"Do you see? In the carriage behind me, it's not just filled with food and clothing, but also many medicinal herbs.
And my husband Ji Fantian is the patriarch of the Divine Doctor Clan. He has brought the Divine Doctor Clan here to provide aid and treatment to the disaster victims who have migrated from the frontier."
As soon as Lin Zaozao finished speaking, Ji Fantian also descended from the carriage and approached Lin Zaozao's side.
Ji Fantian first observed the tall, brawny man before him, then bowed and said, "I am Ji Fantian, the patriarch of the Divine Doctor Clan. The young lady standing beside me is my wife."
"Divine Doctor Ji Fantian!"
Seeing the refined and distinguished Ji Fantian, a realization seemed to dawn on Dadala.
He led the men behind him and immediately dropped to his knees before Lin Zaozao and Ji Fantian.
"Your Majesty Mingzhu, Divine Doctor Ji. We deserve to die, we were wrong. Please spare us.
Divine Doctor Ji, please do not be angry with us for our recklessness. We truly only wanted to take some food, we did not intend to harm anyone. We know we were wrong, please punish us.
But Divine Doctor Ji, please, please save the women and children in our tribe. They are barely hanging on..."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
