Ning Yue brought the bronze token to Old Master Ning and handed it to him.

Old Master Ning looked at Ning Yue in confusion. “Grandpa, this is a token from the noble I mentioned to you before. I think that person’s identity is either rich or noble. It shouldn’t be difficult for him to ask for a place to settle all of us down.”

Old Master Ning nodded and went to look for Ning Bai with the bronze token. “This bronze token was given by a noble. It should be able to help us settle down together. Take it and use it first. If it doesn’t work, we’ll talk about it later.”

Old Master Ning did not tell Ning Bai that this token belonged to Ning Yue. He only told him that it could be used.

Ning Bai did not ask further. He knew Old Master Ning’s personality. Moreover, he would not harm him. Since Old Master Ning said that it could be used, it should be useful.

Ning Bai accepted the bronze token. In fact, he did not have much hope in his heart. He just took the bronze token as a last resort.

What Ning Yue did not know was that Gu Yu had seen everything she had said to Jiang Ying. His eyes widened.

No, no, Ning Yue knew Jiang Ying?

You’re kidding, right?

Jiang Ying’s status might not be high to him, but compared to Ning Yue, it was worlds apart.

Jiang Ying was an existence that Ning Yue could not come into contact with. Why could the two of them talk so quietly? Moreover, it seemed that the two of them were very familiar with each other.

Also, what did she say to Jiang Ying say just now? What life-saving grace?

Why didn’t he understand?

Gu Yu stroked his beard. This was a big deal.

He wondered if Ning Yue knew Jiang Ying’s identity. However, since Jiang Ying did not reveal his identity to Ning Yue, he would not expose him.

Some things could only be decided after he slowly read them in the future.

He had heard a lot of rumors along the way. Of course, they were all from these villagers.

These villagers said that Ning Yue’s biological father was not Ning Guang. She had been picked up by Old Master Ning and raised by Ning Guang and his wife.

For a period of time, Ning Yue was even picked up by her parents in the capital. For some reason, she was sent back in the end. After she returned, Ning Yue’s personality changed drastically.

Gu Yu frowned. He was suddenly very curious about who Ning Yue’s biological parents were.

According to the villagers, Ning Yue’s biological parents had a powerful background, but they did not know who they were.

Forget it, forget it. I’ll ask about these things in the future. Gu Yu shook his head.

On Ning Bai’s side, as the village chief, the first thing he did when he entered the city was to look for the magistrate.

When he talked to the magistrate about the land placement, the magistrate looked troubled.

“If there were only a few of you, it would be easy to arrange, but you’re from a big village. There’s no place for so many people. How about I arrange for you to live separately?”

As soon as the magistrate said this, Ning Bai was thrown into chaos.

He had long known that this would happen, but he still had some hope. He really did not want the people of the Ning Family Village to be separated.

After all, everyone had already left their hometowns to come here. If they separated from the people they were familiar with and went to an unfamiliar environment, they would not be able to get over it emotionally.

At this moment, Ning Bai recalled the bronze token Ning Yue had given him and handed it to the magistrate.

The magistrate looked disgusted. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly realized that the texture of the bronze token was very special. He quickly lowered his head to check it. Unexpectedly, it exceeded his expectations.

Today, Jiang Ying had personally come to greet them and said that all the refugees who came with this bronze token had been taken in. Everything had to be arranged properly, including the silver.

The magistrate shuddered at the thought.

He had almost offended these people. He stood up and walked quickly to Ning Bai. “I suddenly remembered something. There’s a village under Lafu Town. That village is big enough to accommodate all of you.”

This meant they could have been placed in the same place.

Although Ning Bai was the village chief and had more experience than some villagers, he still could not see through the complicated decisions of an official like the magistrate.

At this moment, he thought that the magistrate had really forgotten. He said gratefully to the magistrate, “Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir.”

When Ning Bai was not paying attention, the magistrate wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. If he chased these nobles away, he would not be able to wear his official hat on his head for long.

The magistrate almost bit his tongue. He had almost forgotten.

Although these people were refugees, that person had personally come to greet them!

By the way, that person had also mentioned settling the silver. He had to write these things in the official letter.

Thinking of this, the magistrate quickly picked up his pen and wrote a letter.

He wrote on a large piece of paper that instructed the village chief to arrange a good position for this group of people. Moreover, the government would pay for everything.

As for how much money was needed, it would be reported by the villagers themselves.

There were a lot of good conditions and benefits.

When Ning Bai brought the official letter to Old Master Ning and Ning Yue, Ning Yue was shocked.

Wouldn’t it mean that the villagers could ask for as much money as they wanted?

Ning Yue could not help but sigh at how influential that person’s bronze token was. Not only did he help them settle them down, but he also gave them the fees needed to settle down.

At the side, Gu Yu noticed Ning Yue’s expression and secretly glanced at the official letter. With Jiang Ying’s bronze token, the contents of this official letter were reasonable.

However, he still pulled Ning Yue aside and asked softly, “What’s your relationship with that person? I saw it. You two look very intimate when you talk.”

Ning Yue looked at Gu Yu’s despicable expression speechlessly. Was he still an old man? Why did she feel that this person was so shameless like a child?

“Why? Are you curious?” Ning Yue raised her eyebrows.

“Nonsense. Do you know who that person is?” Gu Yu rolled his eyes. Before Ning Yue could speak, he continued, “He actually gave you the token and asked you to settle in that village. Do you know that village…”

Gu Yu suddenly stopped talking. He had said too much today. There were some things that Ning Yue should not know. Knowing too much was not a good thing.

Just as she was listening to the exciting part, Gu Yu stopped talking. “What happened to that village?” Ning Yue asked in confusion.

“Nothing. Curiosity kills!” Gu Yu said.

Gu Yu knew that she would not be able to get anything out of him. She would just find a chance to talk later. However, he remembered that he had almost let it slip just now. He poked himself secretly. He could not control his mouth.

After spending the past few days together, Ning Yue knew that although Gu Yu looked unreliable, he had a bottom line. There were some things that he was unwilling to say, so he wouldn’t reveal a word.

Therefore, after Gu Yu stopped talking, Ning Yue decided not to say anything else.

“We encountered him when we were escaping. He was short of water and I gave him some. In order to repay him, he gave us that bronze token,” Ning Yue replied.

“That’s all?” Gu Yu looked at Ning Yue in confusion.

“Master, we’re almost there. Do you have any plans?” Ning Yue suddenly changed the topic.

“Aren’t we going to help you treat your father?” Gu Yu said.

“I’m talking about the future. After all, treating my father is a short-term matter,” Ning Yue said.

“In the short term?” Gu Yu was curious. “Why? Do you know how long it will take me to treat him?”

“Master, the illness you want to treat shouldn’t take long,” Ning Yue said with a smile.

In any case, they had an official letter. They could move to the assigned location in a while.

In order to show his trust in this group of people, the magistrate generously handed the official letter to Ning Bai and pointed out a guide.

On the way, Old Master Ning secretly stuffed some silver into Ning Bai’s hands so that he could ask the guide about the village they were going to.

“Sir, we don’t have a good place to serve you tea. This money is for you and your brothers.” Ning Bai handed the silver pieces to the guide.

The person leading the way was very polite. After all, the magistrate had instructed him to be more polite to this group of people!

But who wouldn’t take money?

He didn’t take it for nothing. He would just tell these people what he knew.

“The indigenous people of this village have the surname Yang. There aren’t many people, only seven or eight families. Later, there were outsiders of all surnames. You don’t have to worry.”

Hearing the guide say this, Ning Bai felt much more at ease. There were many of them, so they were not afraid of being bullied by the natives in the village.

The guide led them to a village. This village was called the Laifu village.

According to the guide, the Laifu village was originally called the Yang Family Village. However, as there were more outsiders, they changed its name.
