Don't panic when fleeing famine, the farm system is busy raising cubs to get rich

Chapter 35 Prepare to Escape
Just like that, at first he brought his three daughters-in-law over with full confidence and high spirits to ask for things, but now he slaps himself that he didn't get the things, and was almost thrown out by the patriarch, and he didn't do well in front of the old man. Walk next to your house to salute.

She is obviously doing it for this family, but every time she fails to do something, the old man doesn't give her a good face and doesn't say anything. He complains at least and reprimands her at worst. This is thankless for her.

"Liu Mei, isn't that bitch you said hiding money from a private house? What do you say now?"

The old Mrs. An, who was so angry that she pointed her head at Liu Mei, the culprit.

If she hadn't urged her to swear that Xia Qiyue hid her private money and went to the city to buy good things and came back, how could she be so stupid to find trouble.

Liu Mei dodged her eyes and didn't dare to make a sound, she just lowered her head.

Old Mrs. An became anxious, she dragged Ge Mingyu who was walking in the middle away and came to Liu Mei, grabbed her hair and asked fiercely, "Say it!"

Liu Mei yelled in pain, "It hurts, it hurts, mother, don't pull your hair, it hurts to death!" She yelled while avoiding it, "The daughter-in-law just saw the package of the fourth sibling was bulging, and also saw that the child was well, so I guessed that she used it. What kind of money is it for seeing a doctor and buying things? My daughter-in-law didn’t expect her mother to have a bracelet, but only thought that she hid money from her private house..."

Liu Mei told the truth like pouring beans.

What was not said was that because she hated Xia Qiyue, she wanted the old lady to clean up for herself.

"They're all scumbags, and they're plotting against me. Don't eat tonight!"

With a word from Mrs. An, Liu Mei's fate of starvation was sealed again.

"Mom, I didn't eat anything at all, and I gave it to your grandson. If I don't give it another bite at night, I will really starve to death!"

Liu Mei didn't care about the pain in her scalp, and begged hard after the old lady.

The old lady just said, "Use your private money to buy it! Don't think I don't know what you have done!"

Liu Mei was dumbfounded, it was a failure of calculation and she was involved instead.

And Lizheng told him what Xia Qiyue told him, and it happened that there were so many people gathered that there was no need to move the place.

"Now let's add up. Two or three families will send a person to the city to buy water! In this way, the cost of going to the city can be reduced! If you don't have enough money, find someone to join together, and you can get enough to buy five liters of silver!"

After Lizheng explained the situation clearly, he began to make arrangements.

When the villagers heard that they could buy water, they were very happy at first, but a can of [-] copper coins per liter of water was their daily wages.

Some of them have already rested their minds, thinking that the county magistrate will soon give out porridge and water, so bear with it.

But they didn't think about it. The county magistrate sold water but didn't give it to the refugees. What else didn't they understand?The county magistrate is procrastinating.

According to the final statistics, only five people went to the city to buy water, that is, about [-] households, but they didn't buy much.

The patriarch's eldest son, An Youcai, was going to the city, so Xia Qiyue also chipped in and bought five liters of water.

She can't buy water and drink water, can't she?Just buy this water as a show, after all, how can the river water compare with the spring water in her space.

The people who bought the water set off immediately, and it was estimated that they would be back before dark, so everyone sat down again, or lay down to rest, which was really exhausted.

Xia Qiyue also put the basket in front of the two children to block the sun, and then sat down next to them, "Xuan'er, Ke'er, sleep for a while if you can, and tell mother when you are thirsty!"

Her voice was so low that the two children also whispered, "Mom, I'm not thirsty. Before, I survived by only drinking a little water a day. Now I don't feel thirsty at all!"

It was An Qingxuan who spoke, but he answered his mother's words in such detail while he didn't talk much, but there was a bit of maturity on his small face.

"Mother, Ke'er is not thirsty, let's drink it secretly after dark, otherwise what if someone snatches it away?"

The two little guys have a small water bag hanging next to their bodies, which contains about half a catty of water, which is not very obvious from the outside.

Xia Jiuyue and Xia Xinghe also had a small water bag hanging on their body, Xia Qiyue bought it from a grocery store, one for each person, usually filled with water, it is convenient to drink water, and one for each person is also hygienic.

"Well, just sleep for a while if you can, maybe you'll be on your way again at some point."

Xia Qiyue was very tired, and her body was not in good shape. In addition to carrying a heavy load, not only the soles of her feet were worn out, but her whole body ached.

Now she is very eager to have a carriage... No, an ox cart is also fine, so that she can quickly get to a stable place and settle down. This feeling of wandering is too uncomfortable.

She only had one quilt, but luckily her siblings' luggage was still there, and the five of them laid out three quilts, just lay down and fell asleep under the sun.

But there was one person who kept his eyes open all the time, and that was Xia Xinghe.

He knew that his sister was tired, and he also knew that they were not safe, and they were always missed, so he had to guard them. As a man, he must protect his sister and nieces and nieces.

When Xia Qiyue opened her eyes, the sun was already setting and the temperature had dropped. She was sweating all over her body while sleeping, and she was not at all restful. She also dreamed of her grandmother who adopted her in her previous life and passed away a few years ago.

"Eldest sister, you're awake, Brother Cai just sent you some water!" Xia Xinghe held the water vigilantly, and only handed it over when his eldest sister woke up.

Xia Qiyue got up, took the water bag and put it in the back basket, "Did it just arrive?"

"Well, look, the talented brother just went back!" Xia Xinghe pointed to the patriarch's team.

Xia Qiyue looked over, and saw that An Youcai was talking to his father with an ugly face, but she didn't continue to look, looking for her two little babies.

The two children had woken up a long time ago, and their younger sister Xia Jiuyue was playing with them.

On the patriarch's side, An Youcai told his father something after finishing the water.

When he entered the city, he overheard the conversations of several yamen servants, and learned of the county magistrate's plan. It turned out that the county magistrate did not know how to give porridge and water. The reason why he wanted to keep the refugees here was because he did not want to report the real situation The situation, in fact, was that the disaster relief food was sown from above, but it was almost detained layer by layer. The county magistrate couldn't explain it, so he thought of trapping the refugees here to suppress the news.

The patriarch's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he quickly asked his son to find Li Zheng, and the two discussed it.

In the end, I don't know what decision was made, and people quietly found the heads of more than 40 villagers, and discussed it in a low voice.

Xia Qiyue didn't know the truth of the matter until now, because she was also one of the household, so of course she attended the meeting.

In the end, everyone unanimously agreed that the people from Shanbei Zhuangzi should take advantage of the county magistrate's silence and leave quietly for Fucheng after dark.

When the family returned to their own team, they began to pack their luggage quietly, trying to be as calm as possible, and quietly disappeared after dark.
