This seems somewhat at odds with what I'm about to ask them to do.
So, watching everyone's prostration, Lin Yi simply lifted his hand lightly and then spoke:
"The Emperor's grace is boundless; it has little to do with this official.
Let's set off while it's still early.
The first place for porridge distribution is not too far away; just walk for a while, and I will have someone serve everyone a bowl of thick porridge."
Hearing that there would be thick porridge to drink, and the distance was not far, these refugees immediately began to pack up their belongings without hesitation.
As for their belongings, they were simple—apart from the large bowl distributed by Lin Yi to each person, they had nothing else.
Perhaps some individuals had a few other items, but they too were worn-out and shabby.
In short, this group of people now fared no better than beggars, and some might even be worse off.
