Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 29 Chaos

Gu Dashan heard Qi Yi's words and knew that Qi Yi was helping his family, so he accepted the food and water so that his family would not attract the attention of the villagers.

Qi Yi handed a small cloth bag to Gu Jinli and said, "This is a thank you gift from your wife, she is very grateful that you saved the child, but she is too weak to come to thank you in person, so she can only prepare a small gift. , let me turn it over to you."

Gu Jinli took the cloth bag, felt the graininess in the cloth bag, and was startled, it contained salt.

Salt, water, and food are essential things on the way to escape the famine, and salt is easy to carry, as long as it is well hidden, it will not be conspicuous.

When Gu Jinli learned what was in the cloth bag, he showed a sincere smile and said to Qi Yi, "Thank you Uncle Qi."

Qi Yi smiled and asked Manager Lin to bring Village Chief Gu and the others over.

When Village Chief Gu and the others came back, they saw a load of food and a load of water, their eyes lit up, and the eyes of a few villagers were even more greedy, eager to come up and grab it.

Gu Jinli and Gu Jinan took their reactions seriously.

As the eldest son of the family, Gu Jin'an said instead of Gu Dashan: "Grandpa, the village chief, these are the gifts from Qi's house to our family. My father said that our village is fleeing the famine together, and these things must be handed over to the village and the grandfather of the village chief will distribute them. ."

When the village chief heard this, he was so happy that he could not close his mouth: "Okay, Dashan, you are a person who never forgets your roots, and the village will remember your feelings."

When the villagers of Gujia Village heard the words, they also laughed happily.

Brother Gu Ergou ran forward directly, pushed aside the two servants beside the burden, took the initiative to pick up the burden, smiled and said to the village chief, "Uncle village chief, let's bring it back to the village."

Village Chief Gu glared at them and wanted to scold them, but he felt it was not good-looking. After all, this was in the Qifu camp, so he had to say angrily: "Be careful, this is our village's water and food, If you fall, I can't forgive you."

These Gu Ergou brothers have always liked to take advantage of them, and if they were to carry food, several handfuls of them would definitely fall into their pockets.

Brother Gu Ergou said with a smile: "Don't worry, Uncle Village Chief, who are our brothers? That's the person who carried a [-]-pound burden and walked a dozen miles of mountain road without breathing."

Village Chief Gu was too lazy to care about their brothers and said to Qi Yi, "Young Master Qi, it's getting late. If you don't have any orders, we'll go back."

They have been out for a long time, and it is already dark now. Half of the village's strong laborers are here. The rest place in the village is only for women and children. It is late when they go back, for fear of accidents.

Qi Yi said: "The village chief walks slowly."

Village Chief Gu led everyone to the resting place of Gujia Village with a smile on his face.

After returning to the resting place, Village Chief Gu asked the villagers to inform each family to come to his resting place to receive water and food.

The villagers in Gujia Village were overjoyed when they heard that they had food and water to collect, but they were afraid to provoke the eyes of other disaster victims, so they did not dare to overdo it. go.

When all the villagers of Gujia Village had arrived, the village chief Gu said: "Xiaoyu saved the young master of Qi Mansion, this time the food and water are the thanksgiving gifts from Qi Mansion to Xiaoyu, but the Dashan family thought of us and took care of us. The food and water were taken out and given to the village, so that the villagers could share it together."

The village chief Gu pointed at a load of grain and a load of water, and said, "We have benefited from the Dashan family, but we can't be too greedy. I decided to give ten catties of grain and a can of water to the Dashan family, and we will divide the rest. "

The villagers have no opinion. After all, it belongs to the Gu Dashan family. They are lucky to get some.

Seeing their agreement, the village chief Gu asked his son Gu Dafu to bring ten catties of grain and a jar of water to the Gu Dashan family.

Then, start dividing food and water.

There are a total of more than 200 people in Gujia Village, and about 150 households. The Qi Mansion provides about [-] catties of grain, and each family can get about [-] catties. This is a lot of grain on the way to escape from famine.

After the villagers received the food and water, they burst into laughter and said good things about the Gu Dashan family.

Mrs. Zhang bit the bullet and came to the resting place of the village chief's house, and whispered to the village chief, "Village chief, I'm here to pick up the food and water for my family."

As soon as these words came out, Gu Ergou's daughter-in-law burst out laughing, and said in a sharp voice: "Yo, this is not Gu Laosan's daughter-in-law, your Gu Laosan has sold the Dashan Brothers' family, you still have Face to get food?"

She patted the cloth bag with the grain in her hand and said, "This grain is given to the village by the Dashan family, are you embarrassed to ask for it?"

Mrs. Zhang's face was red when she was told, but she didn't reply, she just lowered her head and continued: "Village chief, my mother asked me to get food and water."

Gu village chief remembered Qi Yi's care for the Gu Dashan family, and said: "If you don't have your family's food, you can go back and tell your father-in-law and mother-in-law that the Dashan family is no longer their son, so don't do anything to make everyone look ugly. Son."

When Gu Ergou's daughter-in-law heard the village chief's words, she laughed even louder and shouted, "Have you heard, there is no food for your family, hurry up and get out."

When Mr. Zhang heard this, he couldn't stay any longer and left in a hurry.

When the old Gu family saw that Mrs. Zhang didn't bring back the food and water, they were all angry, and Gu Xiaomei scolded: "The pheasant has been in power for nine days. It's not just a few grains of food and a few sips of water, it's not rare in our family!"

Gu Shi also said: "We are scholars, not like their muddy legs, we don't bow down for five buckets of rice."

Qian Li'er was full of resentment, staring at the resting place of the village chief's house, her eyes resentful. Damn Gu Xiaoyu, Gu Jinxiu, wait, one day she will avenge today's revenge!

……

After distributing the food, Village Chief Gu ordered a few villagers to work at night, and the other villagers went back individually.

The Gu Jinli family followed the three grandfathers and three grandmothers back to their resting place.

Everyone was very tired today. After saying a few words, they fell asleep.

Gu Jinli reached into the cloth bag and took out two pieces of paper. One turned out to be a 50 tael bank note, which Qi Yi presumably gave to her specially, and the other seemed to be a letter.

She looked at the words above by the light of the bonfire, and saw a line of words written on it: going east is more dangerous, try to go south.

Gu Jinli's heart sank as she looked at this line of words. As she thought, the disaster victims headed east, and tens of thousands of disaster victims headed east. It's easy to cause trouble. Once there is chaos, the consequences will be unimaginable.

It's autumn now, and it's too cold in the east, they may freeze to death before they reach Yangji Mansion.

On the other hand, the south is warm, with plenty of water and vegetation, and the victims hardly go south. The danger will be much less along the way, and more food can be found on the way.

It seemed that she had to think of a way to convince her family to go south and not go further east.

The next day, the sky was bright, and the sound of knocking on the clapper sounded again. The victims got up and gathered and continued to flee eastward. When she stopped to rest that evening, she could no longer see the convoy of Qi Mansion.

Qi Mansion accelerated the speed of escaping the famine, and was completely separated from them, the disaster victims.

After walking for another three days, the situation on the road did not improve, but worsened. Gu Jinli keenly found that some unfamiliar faces seemed to be mixed in among the victims.
