Some of these families were easily persuaded and some were harder, but more or less they would listen to Wei Ruo.
They knew that Wei Ruo was the one who advocated to distribute the land to them, so that they could have new land to cultivate, and they could also receive aid food* from the government every day, which gave them hope for life.
An hour later, most of the farmers had been persuaded to leave, with only one family remaining in the most remote area.
Seeing that the rain was getting heavier, Wei Ruo instructed the advisor to leave first:
“Advisor Chen, you can bring the officers to escort these people to the city first. I’ll find the last family. We have a carriage, and once we bring them along, we’ll catch up with you.”
“No, sir told me to take care of Miss Wei. I can't just leave Miss Wei behind!” Adviser Chen didn't dare to just leave Wei Ruo behind.
"It's getting late, the rain is getting heavier, and the weather is getting colder. If we keep going like this, the people with frail health might not be able to endure it. You should return back first. If you're really worried, you can leave an official guard with me." Wei Ruo suggested.
Adviser Chen hesitated for a moment but eventually agreed to Wei Ruo's proposal. "Alright, I'll leave an official guard with you."
With that, Advisor Chen led the group to the city first, while Wei Ruo, Xiumei, and an official guard headed toward the furthest household.
The three of them wore raincoats made of straw, walking along the muddy paths between the fields.
“Miss, let me carry you on my back," Xiumei said, feeling distressed.
"It's okay. Although I don't know martial arts, my body is not that frail. This little distance won't be a problem for me." Wei Ruo refused.
Wei Ruo couldn’t do martial arts, but living in the countryside for many years, going down to the fields, going up to the mountains to collect medicines, her physique was quite a bit better than the average young lady from a well-off family.
The last household was located behind a small hill.
There was a good flat land behind it, and the original condition of the land was better than other places, so it was easier to cultivate.
However, it was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the distance made it relatively far. On regular days, it wasn’t a problem, as government officials would transport rice seeds and fertilizers there. But today, it made things a bit more complicated.
Wei Ruo and the other two came to the last house, and the simple thatched house was shaking in the wind and rain.
Inside, a woman was holding a child, about three or four years old, in her arms.
Seeing Wei Ruo come, the woman’s face lit up with a glimmer of hope. She pleaded desperately, "Please save my child, save my child!"
Wei Ruo stepped forward and reached out to touch the forehead of the child in her arms, which was scorching hot.
She reached into the brocade pouch she carried and pulled out a white bottle, and poured out a pill. Looking around, she tried to find a bowl and some water.
There was only a chipped bowl, but no hot water.
Wei Ruo had no choice but to give the pill to the mother of the child, “Chew this pill and feed it to your child."
The woman quickly followed her instructions.
Then Wei Ruo added, "We need to leave here first. Once we’re in a safe place, we can properly treat the child."
The conditions were too cold and damp for proper treatment or recovery. Wei Ruo could only administer the pill to ease the child’s symptoms temporarily until they could reach a safer location.
“Okay, okay!" The woman nodded repeatedly.
“Give the child to me,” said Xiumei, stepping forward to help the woman.
She carefully wrapped the child in her own raincoat.
Meanwhile, Wei Ruo took off her own raincoat and handed it to the woman.
The guard next to her saw this and quickly offered his raincoat to Wei Ruo, “Miss Wei, you shouldn’t—”
“Don’t waste time talking, let’s go quickly,” Wei Ruo said. “If the water rises any higher, we won’t be able to leave.”
They knew that Wei Ruo was the one who advocated to distribute the land to them, so that they could have new land to cultivate, and they could also receive aid food* from the government every day, which gave them hope for life.
So Wei Ruo's words had a significant impact on them.*aid food provided to people in need, usually distributed by the government or charitable organizations during times of crisis, such as natural disasters or poverty.
