Chapter 15 Reunion Dinner

It wasn't until half an hour later that the three of them came back in a hurry, and everyone stared at the three of them again without blinking, waiting for their answers to reassure them.

"Uncle patriarch, it is indeed what Xiuwen boy said. We walked a little farther and found that many pools have dried up, and some of them are still cracked even though they are covered with ice." The sixth child saw them I told everyone in the ancestral hall about the situation, and everyone looked dignified after listening.

You know, even in the driest season, there has never been such a situation. The pool on Yezhupo has not been dry for decades, and it has always been a place where they measure the amount of rain in a year.

The drying up of the wild boar splashing pool represents the next drought.

The patriarch looked at the village head with a serious face: "Second brother, you are going to gather the villagers now. Everyone must know about this situation. Originally, how much grain was confiscated in the autumn harvest last year. The current situation must make all those who want to sell the grain Get rid of that idea, and you are the same. Now grain can only be bought, not sold.

The situation of each household is registered in the village. If any family secretly sells the grain, then when the drought occurs, don’t come to the clan to cry about being poor, I will not care. "The patriarch spread out the worst side for everyone to see clearly.

There are a total of 110 and six families in their Yangjia Village. Of course, this number is counted together with several outside households. Those with the fewest outside households have also lived in the village for 30 to [-] years, so the patriarch included them in the scope of his family. .

Of course, those people did not disappoint the patriarch, and such an important matter would not leave them behind.

"I see, Uncle Patriarch." The village chief is of the same generation as Yang Zhengsong, but he is ten years older, and he is already a grandfather.

The village chief had only left for a short while before the village bell rang. This was a copper bell that was only rung for major events in the village, and it was hung on the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village.

Soon, the people of the village gathered at the gate of the ancestral hall, and even the little kids who wandered around came here in a well-mannered manner.

"Okay, everyone is quiet. It is a very serious matter to ask everyone to come here at this moment. I want to tell everyone to be quiet." The village chief first stood on the stone pier at the entrance of the ancestral hall and told everyone to be quiet first.

It's really cold outside, so we still have to make a quick decision.

The patriarch didn't have any ink marks either, and the village head just finished speaking when he took over the conversation: "Early this morning, the Xiuwen boy from the third Yang's family told me that the pool on the wild boar slope in the mountain has dried up, you know, Even though there was a drought more than two years ago more than two years ago, the Yezhu Slope has never dried up. This matter is very serious.

The old man was afraid that the kid couldn't see clearly, so he asked Lao Liu and Lao Qi to go with him. They were afraid that this place was inaccurate, so they walked a little further in, and the pools inside were almost dry. There are already cracks in the grain. The food received this year is not much. I don’t know how long the drought will be in the next few days. Everyone’s food can’t be sold. If you can afford it, go to the county to buy more and store it. in case for need.

The grain you harvested this year is registered in the village. If someone dares to sell the grain secretly, then don’t blame me for being unkind when the grain runs out after the drought occurs. "After the patriarch finished speaking, those sharp eyes stared at everyone below.

Except for Yang Dashan's family, everyone else seemed to have listened to it. Only the two daughters-in-law of Yang Dashan's family looked indifferent.

For this family, the patriarch doesn't want to care about it at all, but no matter what, they are all members of the Yang clan, so it's impossible to ignore it.

This year's reunion dinner was a bit depressing, and the patriarch gave away all the meat left over from that pig.

When I went back to my natal family on the second day of the Lunar New Year, many young daughter-in-laws from other villages told their families about the situation when they returned home. The patriarch of the Yang clan was convinced by everyone, and soon someone got ready.

Drought or not?With food in hand and no panic in mind, many people took action that day.

There are also many people in Yangjia Village. They went to the county seat early in the morning and bought all the money they could embezzle into food and secretly stored it in the cellar at home.

The patriarch was very relieved to know the situation. Although there was a drought, they really didn't want to leave their homeland. They had to know that things were more expensive than people, and as long as there was still a way to survive, they didn't want to go out and flee.

In the next few days of Chinese New Year, the lively atmosphere disappeared. Yang Xiuwen took the uncles in the village into the mountain together. The old patriarch meant to find a place to live in the mountain and come out after the drought.

The first thing Yang Xiuwen thought of was the place where the child met the young man in Huayi in the dream, but there was a big tiger there, and the villagers could not be allowed to take risks.

After five or six days, there was still nothing. The patriarch asked everyone to rest for two days before continuing.

On the first day of Yang Xiuwen's rest, he took his family directly to the place where Yang Xiuwen rescued Mr. Huayi in his dream. It was at this time that they quietly came to the place where the roar of the tiger was heard.

At the same time, I heard the sound of swords colliding. Before Yang Xiuwen came, he didn't tell his family that if he saved this person, the child would die here. That's because according to his sister's story, the whole family knew that Lord Hou couldn't save him. , Not only will it not bring any benefits, but it will also bring harm to the whole family.

Yang Xiuwen mouthed a sentence: "This is here." After that, everyone started looking for a place to hide themselves. Because Yang's father had no force value, he was asked to go home directly, but he was worried about his wife and children, and he was afraid that he would hinder him. Everyone is twisted into a ball.

Yang Yuqing had no choice but to go back with her father directly. She was a small oil bottle, and she didn't dare to drag her legs outside, so she just went back with her father.

The father and daughter sat quietly at home. Yang Yuqing could see outside, so she sat there quietly and waited. Father Yang had no way of knowing what was going on outside, and the whole person could not calm down. He could only stay in the living room pacing.

"Father, let's cook! Cook millet porridge and feed it to mother, brother and sister. We don't know how long we have to stay here. We have to make sure that mother, brother and sister are not hungry." Yang Yuqing looked at her father Wandering around in the living room, I felt a little dizzy, so I quickly dismissed him.

"Then what happened, you must tell me." Yang Zhengsong knew that there was nothing in the kitchen at home that could nourish his stomach, so he had to start again, but he was still worried, but he couldn't see outside, so he couldn't worry about it. I have no choice but to find something to divert my attention.
