Spatial medical concubine, taking the whole family to farm

Chapter 52 This is more than bad news, it's a bolt from the blue!
Before Sai Qiliang could finish his sentence, the other patriarchs picked him up unceremoniously.

"You old fellow, you fart as soon as you have something to say, it's so unpleasant to be hesitant."

They all play together with bare buttocks, who doesn't know who well?
Whoever has wine to drink with, sometimes rubbing his fists when he is drunk, and having a fight like when he was a child, it has been like this for decades.

Now they are in their sixties, their hair and beard are all white, and they all have goatee beards. At first glance, they look like brothers.

It was Wang Yonggui who noticed something was wrong with Sai Qiliang, and hurriedly looked at him with his black face and frowning.

"Uncle Sai, tell me the good news first!"

"Okay." Sai Qiliang raised his head and poured another half bowl of wine into his stomach, "The good news is that there are still ten days before the rice can be harvested."

"Pfft~~"

Xiao Zhenwang and the others almost spit out after taking a sip of wine.

"Hey~~ You old guy, do you still need to tell me the good news?" "That's right, how many times do we go to the field every day? I look forward to it every day."

"Hurry up and tell the bad news, if you dare to talk nonsense about the drunkenness of the loser, don't blame me for doing it to you!"

Sai Qiliang didn't care about these chattering guys, he ate a mouthful of food to suppress his alcoholism, and then moved towards them.

"Everyone knows about the war in the south, right? Our ancient Shu army lost three cities in a row, and Dingxi may fall at any time. I'm afraid we won't be able to wait until the rice is harvested. We're going to flee to the north!"

The patriarchs who were gearing up to slap him: Everyone was stunned!
This is more than bad news, it's a bolt from the blue!
Drought in March, before a drop of rain fell, they dug canals to divert water, built water trucks to divert water, and carried watering loads. Didn’t the sons and daughter-in-law of any household become dogs and broke their waists from exhaustion?
Isn't it equivalent to cutting their flesh if they are asked to throw away the food that is full of mouths?
Everyone put down their chopsticks, frowning so much that they could kill mosquitoes, and their backs couldn't help being burdened by three points.

Xiao Zhenwang was the first to react.

"Let's put aside the grain in the field. The most important thing right now is to go to the town to buy rice grains, horse carts and ox carts."

Several other people also recovered from the shock and gradually calmed down. They are all at the helm of the clan, and they must not be confused.

"Yes, I have to buy a car and food as soon as possible. For the elderly and children at home, I can't do without a car and food!"

"I still have to go overnight to try to get the grain as soon as the grain store opens tomorrow morning."

"Family split up, those who buy food buy food, those who buy cars buy cars, both ways!"

Seeing everyone's voices getting higher and higher, Wang Yonggui hurriedly lowered his hands nervously.

"Keep your voice down, if this story gets to the mouths of the women, the whole county will know about it within two days."

"How about this, after dinner in a while, the various ethnic groups go back to the meeting, the women must not be alarmed, just call the head of the house, and let them go out to buy food and cars behind the back of the family."

"Several other surnames in the village also passed the news to their patriarchs, and made it clear. Don't let the news out and cause a panic buying, otherwise you won't be able to buy anything if you have money."

"Don't rush to Banqiao Town. Those who have horse-drawn carts and ox carts should go to nearby towns and counties to buy them scattered, so as not to arouse others' suspicion."

Several patriarchs stroked their beards and nodded one after another. They didn't have the mood to drink, and hurried away after filling their stomachs indiscriminately.

Here, Mrs. Xiao pulled Xiao Shan's father and daughter aside after eating.

"Son, you and girl Xue have to go back and pack up, and leave with us later."

When Xiao Ningxue heard this, an ominous premonition welled up in her heart.

"It's so late at night, why is the old grandmother leaving in such a hurry?" Mrs. Xiao dragged Xiao Ningxue's hand and lowered her voice.

"The ancient Shu army has lost the battle, Dingxi is about to fall, and the entire Pingyang County is about to fall. We are going north this time to escape."

Xiao Ningxue had this premonition long ago, but she was still calm when she heard the news, Xiao Shan turned pale with shock.

"So our homeland is going to be lost like this?"

"Who says it's not?" Mrs. Xiao looked sad, "Since you have to leave sooner or later, it's the safest way to leave before the turmoil occurs."

Xiao Shan shook his head in embarrassment.

"Mother, my son hasn't been filial for many years, so he should be by Mother's side to fulfill his filial piety, but I have a job to do, so I can't just leave."

Mrs. Xiao also had a sad face.

As the governor of Dingxi, Wen Zhao would not be able to leave even if he died in battle in Dingxi.

Not only can he not leave, but his wife and children cannot leave, they have to stay there to stabilize the hearts of the people! How can he escape the battle and cause turmoil with the salary of the food country?
This time Xiao Shan also said that he couldn't leave, so Mrs. Xiao couldn't stop crying.

"I only have two sons, you and Wen Zhao. Wenzhao's family guards Dingxi. No one knows what will happen. If something goes wrong with you, that mother will really not be able to survive.
Xiao Shan hesitated for a while, then plopped down on his knees towards Mrs. Xiao.

"Mother, as a servant in the yamen, I can't leave my post without authorization. Please take Xue girl to go first."

"Mother, don't worry, I will definitely go to the capital to meet you."

Seeing her son in such a difficult situation, Mrs. Xiao couldn't bear to force him and helped him up from the ground. "Okay, even if that's the case, then I can't force you, I'll take the girl Xue to go first."

Xiao Ningxue never thought that she would shake her head too.

"I'm sorry, old grandmother, I have to stay too. Awen went to Dingxi, and I have to wait for him to come back."

"Isn't this ~~ Ah Wen from the capital? He will naturally come to look for you when he arrives in the capital."

"Husbands and wives should suffer together. If I abandon him and leave first, there will be no guarantee that there will be no grudges in his heart, which will affect the relationship in the future."

"Oh, that's right." Mrs. Xiao nodded helplessly.

Several of her cousins, including the girl Dong Shi, refused to leave first, so what else could she do? We can only respect everyone's choice.

After a moment of silence, Mrs. Xiao took out a money bag and stuffed it into Xiao Shan's hand.

"Hurry up and take these 300 taels of silver, and hurry up to buy rice, grain, and carriage, and leave as soon as possible, you know?"

Xiao Shan still wanted to decline, but Mrs. Xiao wiped away her tears again, Xiao Shan could only accept it.

After a few more instructions, Mrs. Xiao went to find Sai Qiliang. She brought 2000 taels of cash, which she wanted to hand over to Sai Qiliang to distribute to the clansmen.

Everyone is grateful to her, even if she spends all her wealth, she can't let them go hungry on the way to escape.

Sai Qiliang naturally refused, but Mrs. Xiao was so persistent that he could only write down an IOU to the old lady, and when he found a place to stay in the future, he would return the principal with interest.

After Mrs. Xiao finished these things, she said goodbye to the clansmen without further delay, lit a lantern, and left in a carriage.

This night, the women slept soundly, but the head of each family was like burning their buttocks.

Bringing all the belongings of the family, those who walked and drove drove to the county town overnight to buy food and cars.
