Don't panic when fleeing the famine, the peasant girl is busy farming

Chapter 32 Chaos Begins

Seeing Jiang Erniu's worried look, Jiang Erya persuaded: "Father, don't think about it, I bought it just in case.

Things won't be that bad.All the young and old in our village are walking together, there are a lot of people, and others have eyes, so they dare not go forward to provoke them easily. "

In order to divert Jiang Erniu's attention, she shook Jiang Erniu's sleeve again, and said, "Father, help me think about it, what else have I missed? If I don't buy it now, go to Dongchang County If you want to buy it on the road, you may not be able to buy it.”

Jiang Erniu thought about it seriously, patted his leg, and said, "Water bladder, our family still lacks water bladder!"

Then he whispered: "We are going to go with the villagers.

Don't let others know about the old fairy.

Then we can no longer take a water cup out of thin air to drink water from your spiritual spring.

We can put the spiritual spring water into the water bag in advance..."

Jiang Erya clapped her hands and said, "Father is still thoughtful, let's go, let's go to the grocery store to buy water bladders!"

……

At sunset, there was a sound of drumming in the distance, which was a signal that the city gate was about to close.

The father and daughter with big bags and small bags immediately ran towards the gate of the city, and left the city at the last moment when the gate closed, heading towards Xinglin Village.

Jiang Erya quietly put the things in her hands into the system backpack as she walked. After a while, the father and daughter returned empty-handed.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the father and daughter finally arrived at Xinglin Village.

Xinglin Village is very different tonight.

At this time in the past, everyone in Xinglin Village had washed up and slept.

But the people of Xinglin Village tonight, except for the ignorant and ignorant children, have no intention of sleeping.The coming hot weather is a sharp sword hanging over their heads.

They made all the preparations they could, and notified their relatives and friends in other villages, and then gathered at Li Zheng's house to ask Li Zheng for advice.

"What if the crops really wither and die?"

"How can we live without water?"

"Did the old resident say the specific day when the temperature will start?"

"When will the court's relief food come..."

"What else can we do? We can't just sit at home and wait to die, can we?"

Lizheng rubbed his forehead after thinking and thinking, "Let's pack up and flee famine!

Whether the relief food from the court can come down is still a matter of debate. Even if the relief food comes down, we will still die if there is no water.

Instead of this, why not go out and fight..."

Li Zheng planned to organize the villagers to flee famine together, leaving Xichang County and going to Dongchang County.Dongchang County is close to the sea, so there is definitely no shortage of water.

When we arrived in Dongchang County, no matter begging for food or doing odd jobs, the big guys could always survive.

flee from famine?To Dongchang County?
People in the village all came to ask Lizheng for ideas, but after Lizheng said his idea, they hesitated instead.

How can those who are wandering outside and living in no fixed place have peace of mind at home?Besides, the homeland is hard to leave, they left, what about the house at home?what to do?
But if you don't go, there is only a dead end...

The entanglement in their hearts, they can't wait to split themselves in half, one half stays at home, and the other half goes out to earn their lives!
Someone took chances and said: "What the old abbot of Sanli Temple said may not be right.

If he was really that clever, he would have stopped being the abbot of the small temple a long time ago, and should ascend to the sky and become a great immortal!

Or let's wait another two days. If his words come true, it won't be too late for us to flee the famine again. "

Some people also counted on officials at all levels in Qingjiang County to ask Lizheng to ask if there was any other way for the people above.His words elicited a round of approbation.

"Yes, yes, let's not panic. Ask the adults. They are all educated and well-informed. They will definitely have a solution."

Li Zheng realized that he had little knowledge and was rejected.Although he was a little unhappy, he also thought that he should first ask the people above.

Early the next morning, Li Zheng went to Qingjiang County in a bullock cart.

The sun on this day was even stronger than the day before, and just after the hour passed, it made people's scalp ache, as if it was going to explode.

The water in the paddy field evaporates at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the surface of the ground slowly cracks, with cracks densely covering the roots of the seedlings.

Along the way, Lizheng kept sighing, he finally believed in Jiang Erniu's dream.That is not a daydream, it should be a warning from the gods.

When he arrived at the county seat, he didn't even see a single official.

Not only that, but he also heard a very bad news——

On the other side of the county seat, two adjacent villages were robbed.

A group of bandits who came out of nowhere rushed into the village, robbed food, money, poultry, livestock and other valuables, and injured dozens of people!

Looking at the streets of the county town, many shops are closed.

Grain shops began to limit purchases. A small bamboo card with an identity can only buy one catty of grain that day, and a catty of grain is twenty cents!

The line to buy grain was longer than Lizheng had imagined. After a while, the clerk of the grain shop was beaten, and a group of people rushed into the grain shop to loot the grain.

The owner of the grain store stuffed the money, and the county government officer came to arrest him with a saber.

When they saw the guards, those who snatched food scattered in a hurry. Those who ran quickly ran away, and those who ran slowly were shackled by shackles.

The scene can be as chaotic as it needs to be.

Li Zheng returned to Xinglin Village with a heavy heart.

On the way, he also ran into the family of Lao Jiangtou's eldest son, and after walking for a while, he met his own youngest son and Lao Jiangtou's younger son.

His youngest son said: "The well in our academy ran out of water overnight. The gentlemen were in such a hurry. There was no mood to teach, so we had to let the students go back to their respective homes."

Li was looking at the field beside the road. The rice that had been planted in the field yesterday had withered before it turned from green to yellow.

When we arrived in the village, we heard crying.

The heat is really coming.

The crops are literally dying.

There was really no water in the drinking well, and when the bucket was lowered, only half a bucket of silt came up.

Widow Li and her mother-in-law, Aunt Liu, were the first to cry. Once they cried, the others couldn't control it.

Under the tragic atmosphere, even a narrow-minded ghost like Lao Jiangtou fell silent.

Lizheng got off the bullock cart and shouted: "Okay, don't cry, go home and pack your things, let's go to Dongchang County immediately."

Those who couldn't let go of their property and fields cried louder.

Li Zheng said seriously: "If you don't leave, just wait for the Bandits to slaughter the village..."

Li was telling the villagers the bad news he had heard.

Someone asked: "The government doesn't care?"

Li Zhengdao: "The people in the government are also people. When the drought comes, they can't take care of themselves. How can there be empty control of the village below?
And once this happens, I don’t know how many people will take risks, pretend to be bandits, burn, kill and loot..."

Li Zhengyu said earnestly: "Let's go, the sooner you get out of Xichang County, the more hope of survival you have."

After noon, the people of Xinglin Village gathered at the entrance of the village crying.

Usually, I always feel that my house is dilapidated, and I really want to leave, but I feel that everything in this house is the best.Even the ant nest in front of the door and the mouse hole under the bed are very cute.

However, I have to temporarily leave this house, this home...

After a while, everyone except Lao Jiang's family arrived.

Lizheng sent someone to notify Lao Jiang's family, and if they didn't meet at the entrance of the village, they wouldn't be waiting for them.Don't blame everyone when orders are placed or difficulties are encountered.
