I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Chapter 237: The Situation Has Changed 1

The armor of those stragglers was basically rattan armor, and only a few of them wore helmets and iron armor. Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan were not interested in these things, but the patrol team members all liked them very much.

As for the weapons they left behind, Bai Jingzhou gave priority to distributing the good quality ones to the captain (Gu Wenxuan), deputy captain (Bai Jingzhou himself), and team leaders (Fang Youfu and others) who contributed the most in the battle. The rest were distributed together with the armor to other patrol members.

After the battle, the people in the shelter enjoyed a brief period of peace. The refugees who had been planning to target them, perhaps because they were frightened by their bravery, never dared to come over here to spy or even provoke them again.

Not daring to provoke them, the refugees could only go to other places.

When they moved their position, they discovered something that was both unexpected and surprising.

After the force that originally controlled them was destroyed, the new force that took over all of the other party's territory actually started to provide disaster relief as soon as possible.

Unlike the old forces that did not care about the lives of ordinary people, the new forces provided the refugees who were originally on the verge of survival with food and shelter and a stable life.

Although their food was not very good and their accommodation conditions were very poor, at least they no longer had to worry about whether they and their families would starve to death or freeze to death.

Being able to live in peace, the vast majority of refugees naturally stopped looting. Instead, they responded to the government's call, took the initiative to go to the relief points designated by the government, and accepted the government's unified supervision.

Most of the stragglers and refugees who were originally mixed in with the refugees pretended to be refugees and sneaked into the relief points designated by the government. Only a very small number of stragglers and refugees, even if they had the opportunity to live a normal life, still refused to give up and wanted to continue their previous arbitrary and lawless lives.

Some of these people roamed around, some hid in the mountains and forests, in short, no one dared to cause trouble openly.

Seeing this situation, Gu Wenxuan no longer forced everyone to stay in the shelter.

To be cautious, she did not immediately take the villagers of Baijia Village and their farmers away from Jiajia Village, but first went out with Bai Jingzhou to gather information.

Some villagers in Jiajia Village were brave enough to go out with them when they were out. However, they were not going anywhere else. They just wanted to go back and see what had happened to their homes after being destroyed by those bastards.

Since they didn't dare to leave Jia Village anyway, Gu Wenxuan didn't force them to stay in the shelter. She only told the head of the Jia family to make sure that those who went out were careful and alert in case there were any bad guys hiding in their village.

The head of the Jia clan knew that she had good intentions, so he repeated his orders to the Jia clan members according to her request.

The Jia clan members had experienced the previous war and were no longer willing to be careless. They teamed up to check if there were any bad guys in the village.

As for Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou, the first thing they did after coming out of the shelter was to walk down the hillside and head towards Baijia Village and Liulin Town.

They carefully inquired along the way, but never found any large-scale stragglers or refugees.

When they passed by Baijia Village, they went into the village and took a look. They found that although the village was in a mess, with corpses and signs of human destruction in some people's yards and houses, there was not a single living refugee.

Thinking of the two families who did not rush to run away when the refugees entered the village, but instead asked the patrol team members to "hold on" for a few bags of food, Gu Wenxuan specially led people to go around to the location of the two families to take a look.

The yards and houses of those two families were messier than those of other families. Not only were overturned belongings everywhere on the ground, but even some people from those two families who had been dead for a long time were still lying in various shapes in their respective yards.

It was obvious that the refugees only wanted to steal food and daily necessities, but they had no intention of collecting the bodies of the robbed villagers or their own dead companions.

"There are no children's bodies, and the number of adults is wrong." After observing the area, Bai Jingzhou came to this conclusion.

Gu Wenxuan looked at him vaguely and said nothing.

In fact, she and Bai Jingzhou both noticed human bones scattered around in some places in the village, but because the other patrol members in the team had never seen the horrific scene of cannibalism and could not recognize that they were human bones, they did not speak out directly.

Gu Wenxuan didn’t know whether all the people in those two families died, nor would she regret her original decision just because there was a high probability that they would meet with accidents.

As I said, it was their own greed that killed them. She couldn't possibly use the lives of the patrol members to exchange for those bags of food.

Not to mention that those two families thought they were very smart and did not join the patrol team formed by their village. Even if they had relatives in the patrol team, Gu Wenxuan would not tolerate their bad habits.

Whoever wants to die can die by himself. It is impossible for her to drag others down with her.

After strolling around Baijia Village, Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou went to Liulin Town with other people who had mixed feelings.

Liulin Town has basically returned to its former order. Some townspeople have returned to their homes from their original hiding places. When Gu Wenxuan and his friends arrived in the town, there were even three shops that had resumed business.

From the townspeople who were cursing at the refugees and stragglers, Gu Wenxuan and the others learned that the town had only restored its original order yesterday, and that those townspeople who had heard the news had returned to their homes with their families today.

Like the houses in Baijia Village, the buildings in the town were also destroyed beyond recognition by refugees and guerrillas. Everyone not only had to clean them, but also make necessary repairs, otherwise the houses and shops would not be able to be used normally.

Perhaps knowing that everyone was resentful of the refugees, the government did not divide the refugees who actively responded to the government's call into villages and towns and let them settle down there. Instead, it designated a piece of wasteland for the refugees who did not want to return to their homeland and let them form a separate village.

As for those who are willing to return to their homeland, the government said that it would send someone to send them back to their hometown after the Chinese New Year. As for the period before the Chinese New Year, the government can only pay out of its own pocket to provide relief to these refugees.

After asking around in the town, Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou led their men to the county town.

The order in the county town was restored faster than that in Liulin Town. Most of the shops here have resumed business, and the residents of the county town have basically repaired their houses.
