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

Chapter 71 It Finally Rained

The three brothers of the Huang family yelled and yelled, and all the officers and soldiers on the tower heard it, but no one answered.

It was not until Huang Erchang repeatedly emphasized that if he pulled them up and let them go home, he would be paid 100 taels of silver, a rope tied with baskets was stretched down from the tower.

The baskets are too small, and only one person can be loaded at a time.

In order to take care of the lame Erchang, Sichang and Wuchang let him go first.

But when the basket was stretched out again, Wuchang didn't want to give way to Sichang anymore, he wanted to go up first.

Sichang was angry, "I am your brother!"

Wu Chang kept digging into the basket, "Then I'm still your younger brother!"

The two were fighting, and the victims who were lying motionless on the ground came to their senses.Just hold on to that basket, just hold on to that rope, and they'll be in town.

There is food and drink in the city, as long as they enter the city, they have hope of life.

The victims rushed towards the basket like crazy.

Sichang and Wuchang were taken aback, hugged into a ball, and got into the basket at the same time.

The officers and soldiers on the tower pulled, but did not pull, and said: "You two must go down one."

When Wu Chang heard this, he immediately let go of Si Chang, kicked Si Chang mercilessly, and kicked Si Chang out of the basket.

After landing on the ground, Sichang quickly got up and grabbed the basket, not letting Wuchang leave him alone.

Behind Sichang, the victims came flooding in like a tide.

In order to go up the tower smoothly, Wuchang became ruthless and cut Sichang's hand with a knife. Sichang retracted his hand under the pain and looked at Wuchang in disbelief.

"You are my younger brother, my own brother!" A brother of the same father and mother, how could he treat him like this? !
Wu Chang avoided his eyes and shouted at the officers and soldiers upstairs: "Pull! Pull!"

The officers and soldiers upstairs pulled Wuchang up before the victims rushed over.

Si is often knocked down and submerged by crowds.

After Wuchang reached the tower safely, a trace of guilt appeared in his heart.He looked and looked under the tower, but he could no longer see Sichang's figure.

Wuchang went back to Lao Huang's house with Erchang on his back, and went back with their two brothers, and three city guards who pulled them up to the tower.They went to Lao Huang's house to collect payment.

Grandpa Huang emptied his family's wealth and even bet on the jewelry of the women's family members. Only then did he collect enough 100 taels of silver to send the three city guards away.

After the outsider left, Grandpa Huang had time to ask Erchang and Wuchang how the matter turned out.

As soon as Erchang and Wuchang told what happened to them, Grandpa Huang was so angry that he had a stroke.

He crooked his mouth and couldn't speak, he could only "Huo Huo Huo..."

For that treasure map, his two sons died under his bed.

His seven grandsons went to Daping Mountain together, only two came back!
These two came back empty-handed, and the treasure map was not brought back by them.It fell into the wrong hands!

The bamboo basket is empty!
No, no, he lost his wife and lost his army!
Grandpa Huang was heartbroken, let out a mournful howl, and passed out.

Faced with such a drastic change, Wu Chang's first thought was to find his father.He yelled outside the house: "Dad, Dad, it's not good, grandpa passed out!"

Grandma Huang rushed in with her two daughters-in-law, and started crying to Grandpa Huang who had passed out.

Erchang thumped his painful leg, frowning and said, "What's the use of crying? Wuchang, hurry up and call the doctor!"

After Wuchang left, Erchang asked dissatisfiedly, "Where are my father and uncle? Why aren't they at home?"

When Erchang's mother was asked this question, she cried even louder.

While crying, she complained: "Your father, that dead ghost, has gone to some widow's house. He left the day before yesterday and hasn't come back yet. He probably doesn't want to be a poor wife like his mother anymore. I don't want you sons anymore..."

Erchang felt a "thump" in his heart, and instantly felt that the smell in the room was abnormal.

Trembling, he looked under Grandpa Huang's bed, closed his eyes and wailed, "Grandpa, grandpa, why didn't you let my father and my uncle out?"

Grandpa Huang was dizzy, he couldn't hear anything, he couldn't answer anything...

The cries of the old Huang's family rose louder and louder for a while, causing the neighbors next door to speculate, what happened to the old Huang's family?
Aunt Cai climbed up the courtyard wall and rode on the courtyard wall to visit Lao Huang's house, but was beaten down by the black-faced Aunt Cai with a broom.

……

That night, a gust of wind suddenly blew up, and a bolt of lightning tore through the dark night sky. The thunder that followed woke up all the living people inside and outside the city of Dongchang County.

The raindrops "slapped" on the ground, on the eaves, on the dry trees, and on people's faces...

In the city of Dongchang County, none of the pedestrians rushed to the eaves to shelter from the rain. Instead, all the people in the house rushed out. They stretched out their hands, feeling the power of the raindrops falling from the sky, and they were ecstatic and ran to tell each other——

"It's raining, it's raining! God finally opened his eyes! We have water to drink!"

Someone was thirsty, and immediately took out all the buckets, pots and pans at home, and started to catch the rain.

Others followed suit.

The raindrops hit all kinds of utensils, making a pleasant chorus, "tick tick tick", "ding dong ding dong", "pop, snap, snap"...

The victims outside Dongchang County were also awakened by the thunder.

When the rain just fell, they hadn't completely come out of the mess.

They felt the raindrops with wooden faces.

I don't know who was the first to cry out.

Then, everyone started crying.

Some people hugged their family members' corpses and shouted; some people knelt in front of their family members' bodies and punched the ground;

After venting, they also began to look for something to catch the rain. Every time they filled up a sip of rainwater, they couldn't wait to pour the rainwater into their mouths until their stomachs were so full that they would vomit after taking another sip. Only then stopped.

In a certain mountain depression near Pingshan Town.

The people in Fangjia Village were also crying.

Before the rain came, he didn't even have the strength to dig the grass roots. He felt that he would not be able to hold on any longer. He tried his best to open his mouth and begged the remaining 22 people in Fangjia Village not to drink his blood and eat his. corpse.

He once heard a village Taoist say that if the corpse in this life is mutilated, it will lead to a disability in the next life after reincarnation.

This life is over, and in the next life, he wants to live a good life.

Originally, if he didn't say anything, the rest of the Fangjia Village didn't want to eat him.

But when he said this, those people became more and more unable to suppress the hunger and thirst in their hearts.

Fortunately, before those people took action, it rained!

No one was staring at him anymore, they all went to find a way to catch the rainwater to drink, and he was safe.

The Fang family villager was opening his mouth, waiting for the raindrops to fall in his mouth. After swallowing a few mouthfuls of rainwater, he felt that he was doing well again...
