I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Chapter 233 The Guest Escaping from Disaster 1

Although Gu Wenxuan left enough houses for the villagers of Jiajia Village, she would not take the initiative to ask them to move into the shelter.

Firstly, Jiajia Village is more remote than Baijia Village, so there are fewer refugees wandering here. Secondly, the villagers and dogs of Jiajia Village are much more powerful than those of Baijia Village.

Like the local dogs that Gu Wenxuan bought temporarily later, in this battle, Gu Wenxuan only dared to let them follow Gu Yongming and his wife to escort the villagers, instead of letting them fight alongside her.

The dogs in Jia Village are different. They are not only loyal but also ferocious. Each of them has rich combat experience and is the best helper for their owners when they are in crisis.

People who are capable and have someone to rely on will always be more confident. Gu Wenxuan did not want to force others to do things against their will, and even more so did not want to lose the initiative and the right to speak because of it. So she adopted a Buddhist strategy of neither taking the initiative nor refusing, and waited patiently for the villagers of Jiajia Village to move in on their own initiative after the danger escalated.

As she expected, at the beginning, no one in Jiajia Village was willing to move in.

Their own home has high stone walls and thick, solid wooden doors, so the safety factor is guaranteed.

In addition, their own yard and house were more spacious than the small house built temporarily by Gu Wenxuan. They were certainly unwilling to lower their living standards and make do with the low adobe house in the shelter.

But as more and more villages were captured by the refugees, they were also affected. Only with the help of Gu Wenxuan and others did they barely repel the invading enemies. They had to consider moving into a shelter.

Considering that these people were all Jia Guizhi's clansmen, Gu Wenxuan immediately brought the villagers who were injured in the defense battle to Bai Jingzhou's home and asked Bai Chong and Bai Jingzhou to treat their wounds.

Of course, they had to pay for the medicine to Bai Chong and Bai Jingzhou just like the villagers of Baijia Village.

The clan leader and elders of the Jia clan also came to the shelter. While watching Bai Chong and his son treating the injuries of their family members, they told Gu Wenxuan that they wanted to live behind the high walls with their clan members.

Gu Wenxuan agreed readily. Of course, she also put forward a condition, which was that the Jia clan members had to abide by the iron laws of wartime formulated by them, just like the villagers of Baijia Village and the farmers on their farm, and select some young and strong men to join the patrol team according to the rules to fight against the refugees together with them.

"...We will treat all those who fight against the enemy with us equally. We will require everyone to abide by the same rules and provide everyone with the same benefits."

What she meant was that no one should try to make friends with her, use connections, get in the back door, or seek special treatment for her, as she would cut them off at the root.

The Jia clan leader and most of the clan elders had no objection, but there were a very small number of clan elders who felt that Gu Wenxuan, as a junior, was being disrespectful and insubordinate by speaking to them in that way.

Gu Wenxuan would not engage in a war of words with them. She directly targeted the head of the Jia family. "Anyone who has objections can choose not to move in. I have no objection. But if anyone moves in and causes trouble for me, I don't care what his identity or generation is."

You want to rely on her protection, but also want to ride on her head and give her orders. What kind of dream are you dreaming of?

The head of the Jia clan glared at his family members. You are trying to show off and compete for power with a girl who can control so many people in Baijia Village? Are you crazy?

The two elders of the Jia clan were not very convinced. Not only were they dissatisfied with Gu Wenxuan, they were also dissatisfied with the clan leader of the Jia clan. However, the clan leader of the Jia clan had the support of the vast majority of the elders of the Jia clan, so they could only keep their dissatisfaction in their hearts.

Just like now, the Jia clan leader glared at them, and they didn't even dare to glare back, let alone defend themselves.

With the Jia clan leader suppressing them, Gu Wenxuan didn't have to waste time on something that would lead to nothing.

She greeted the head of the Jia family, then turned and left Bai Jingzhou's house.

When they walked to the common wall between Bai Jingzhou's house and hers, Gu Wenxuan saw Bai Jingshan running towards them breathlessly.

Bai Jingshan told her that a team sent by the Mu family came outside the shelter, and the leader asked to see Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan.

Bai Jingzhou didn't have time now, so Gu Wenxuan decided to go and get some information first to find out what the situation was.

She followed Bai Jingshan to the main gate of the shelter and found that there were indeed several familiar faces in the team who had come to Baijia Village before to give holiday gifts to their two families.

Seeing Gu Wenxuan, one of them came up to the only carriage in the team and said something.

The next moment, the carriage door opened and Mu Jingzhi jumped out with a heavy expression.

Gu Wenxuan raised her eyebrows slightly, "Let's lower the drawbridge and invite them in for a chat."

Mu Jingzhi and others were quickly let in by the patrol team guarding the door. Gu Wenxuan did not delay. After saying hello to Mu Jingzhi, she led the team from the Mu family to her home.

According to Mu Jingzhi's request, Gu Wenxuan found two empty courtyards adjacent to each other that had never been inhabited to accommodate their team.

Bai Jingzhou, who heard the news, also rushed over quickly. He handed the remaining injured people over to his father Bai Chong for treatment.

Seeing Bai Jingzhou, Mu Jingzhi no longer forced himself to be strong and calm. His eyes turned red and he almost cried.

At this time, the carriage door opened again, and a middle-aged woman who looked to be about thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old, slowly walked down on a footstool with the help of a maid.

"Mom." Mu Jingzhi called out, then turned to Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan and said, "This is my mother."

Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan saluted quickly.

Mrs. Mu said in a soft voice, "Good boy, please stop being polite."

Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou looked at each other quickly. They didn't expect that Mu Jingzhi not only came by himself, but also brought his mother with him.

Mu Jingzhi suddenly remembered something and took out a letter from his sleeve pocket. "This is a letter from my brother to you."

Bai Jingzhou took the letter. Although he hadn't had time to open it, he already had a rough idea of ​​what it meant.

Sure enough, in the letter, Mu Hanzhi asked them to help take care of his younger brother and stepmother for a period of time.

He didn't tell Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan where he was going or why he sent his brother and stepmother to live in seclusion in the mountains, but Bai Jingzhou guessed it almost immediately. He even speculated that the war was about to begin.

He showed the letter to Gu Wenxuan, who quickly finished reading it and then handed it back to him, saying, "You decide."

Mu Hanzhi has acted very well as a grandson over the years, and those who he wants to guard against still don't know that he is actually a ferocious and cunning wolf, not a domestic puppy that they can bully at will.

They looked down on Mu Hanzhi, so naturally they would not be on guard against him. This was why Mu Hanzhi was able to send his stepmother and younger brother out at this time without anyone noticing.
