"Are you saying that Yichan should come?" Wen Family raised an eyebrow.
Zhang Wuliang nodded anxiously, "That's exactly what I mean."
Who could blame him for being soft-hearted? He couldn't bear to see so many people suffering; they were all unfortunate souls, and if he could help, he would.
Wen Family thought that Zhang Wuliang was truly in agreement with them, as they were on the same wavelength.
If Yang Yichen performed exceptionally well during this earthquake, it would bring immeasurable benefits for his future career.
A slight smile appeared on Yang Yichen's lips. Opportunities and challenges coexist; how could he waste such a good chance?
Not only would he be helping the common people who were in dire straits, but he would also earn a good reputation for himself. Why not take advantage of it?
They then discussed some specific details, leaving the execution to Yang Yichen.
The next day, a piece of news spread rapidly from Ten Li Pu.
The Yang Scholar from Ten Li Pu could help everyone in the ancient country during this crisis.
"What? Is there really such good news?" A man digging through the rubble wiped the sweat from his brow, looking incredulously at those spreading the news.
"Of course! This morning, it spread like wildfire among the Kid. The Yang Scholar has a way to build houses, and they're even organizing the Kid to harvest crops."
"But the food is buried underground." Indeed, Ten Li Pu was relatively lucky; the fields at the foot of the mountain were far enough away that they weren't completely buried.
Those closer to the mountains were in dire straits; the falling rocks from the mountain made it impossible to harvest after the earthquake.
"I’m not sure, but it seems that Yang Scholar is digging into his own pockets to bring food from the town?"
"Really?" A look of joy and surprise flashed across the man's face, as if he had finally found light in the darkness.
He chuckled heartily, tears streaming down his face from laughter.
The days that had been growing increasingly desperate, with his wife and children’s pale faces and cracked lips, and the mewling of his daughter like a kitten, were becoming unbearable.
His strength in digging through the soil grew stronger and stronger, yet everything had changed after the earthquake. The place where he had stored grain was now dug deep, but he still found nothing.
Just when he was sinking into despair, someone suddenly gave him hope. This feeling was truly wonderful.
"Hahaha, my dear, did you hear that? We are saved! We are saved!"
In a village without houses after the earthquake, the cheers of the people echoed far and wide. When they encountered the towering mountains, the echoes rang out across the vast land.
The dark-skinned people showed a glimmer of light in their vacant eyes.
Ten Li Pu, Yang Family Courtyard
Since this news spread, Yang Yichen and others had been busy. With so many nearby villages combined, they would need a substantial amount of food to get through this crisis.
In the study, Yang Yichen slowly turned around, his expression emotionless and stern, his voice cold and deep: "Is the food prepared?"
The person nodded slightly: "Master, the Grain Shop has stored enough supplies, and the granary is sturdy. It did not collapse during the earthquake; however, transportation to this location has been somewhat troublesome and will require some time."
Yang Yichen nodded. The few individuals before him were his capable subordinates, all left behind by that person.
Although the so-called master had brought him much pain, he had to admit that without him, he would not have achieved his current success.
The torturous experiences had resulted in a wealth of assets at such a young age; perhaps without the master, he would have long since passed away.
At this moment, he felt grateful for the assets left by his master.
"You all immediately dispatch personnel to transport the food out. Be careful not to let anyone discover the location of the granary. I will arrange for someone to assist with the transport."
"Yes, Master. I will take care of it right away."
Watching his subordinates leave, Yang Yichen remained lost in thought for a long time. Sometimes he questioned whether this choice was correct; he did not like power or the political arena.
Yet being in this world meant that some choices were beyond his control. One of his decisions affected the lives of many people; sometimes, he had to think not only of himself but also of his brothers under him.
The door quietly opened, and Anan quietly entered, trying not to disturb her master who was deep in thought. Gradually, the sounds from the front yard grew louder, and Yang Yichen's dazed expression began to clear.
"Anan, let's go!" With that, Yang Yichen stepped out first.
Front Yard The noisy sounds gradually calmed down after seeing the green figure walking out, until there was complete silence.
Zhang Wuliang, as the village chief, cleared his throat and proactively communicated with Yang Yichen: “Yang Scholar, everyone is here. We are all ready to follow your lead.”
“Thank you all for your support, Fellow Villagers. Rest assured, I won’t let your efforts go to waste. We will head to Biqi Town together to bring back the grain.”
“Alright!” Cheers erupted from the crowd.
“Yang Scholar, you are truly a good person.”
“We thank you; otherwise, we wouldn’t know what to do.”
Zhang Wuliang was even more excited than he could contain. To control the crowd's emotions, he quickly spoke up: “Everyone, please calm down. Ten Li Pu is much better off than other villages; we can recover some of our crops.
So, once the grain returns, let’s all follow Yang Scholar’s arrangements, okay?”
“Sure, we will listen to you.” This group of people now had great trust in Yang Yichen and Zhang Wuliang.
After all, without a leader and organized plans, Ten Li Pu would be in no better situation than other villages.
What was most lacking at this moment was someone to unite everyone's strength.
Then, Yang Yichen sent Anan to lead the way, and the villagers followed behind, slowly heading towards Biqi Town.
Suddenly, the entrance of the Yang Family Courtyard fell silent. It had been six or seven minutes since the earthquake, and Ten Li Pu was orderly moving forward.
Yang Yichen immediately discussed the next steps with Liu Qingxi, realizing they had to act quickly: "Yang Yichen, I will go check on other villages now, and Uncle Sanyou will come with me."
"Alright, I'll go with you."
Both of them were the type to take action, feeling more at ease when they could personally supervise others.
In just a short time, these two had gained unprecedented popularity among the villagers.
The village leaders greeted them respectfully, while the villagers looked at them with eager anticipation, wanting to approach but hesitating.
A few children shyly gazed at Liu Qingxi, marveling at how beautiful she was. Her clothes were clean and neat, making them feel self-conscious in their muddy attire as they lowered their heads.
Their thin faces made their eyes appear even larger. Liu Qingxi felt a pang in her heart, suppressing her tears as she reached out to pat their heads: "Here, sister has candy for you."
Several small hands reached out eagerly but suddenly stopped just before reaching Liu Qingxi's hand, recalling their parents' admonitions about not taking things from others without permission.
With fingers in their mouths and drool dripping down, they looked timidly at the young woman before them.
Squatting down, Liu Qingxi saw in these children a reflection of Liu Qingyan from a year ago. Her voice softened: "Take it!"
