Start Ancient: Take your family and lie down in the natural disaster to win

Chapter 204 204. Before the storm
Brother Hua Yun'ao is on farm holiday today, because tomorrow is the official day of the autumn harvest.

Hua Jin stared at the sunny sky, squinting her eyes to face the dazzling sunlight through the slit in her hands.

The discomfort in her eyes and the growing sense of urgency and anxiety in her heart told her that time was running out.

On this day, Hua Jin silently climbed up Qinggu Mountain behind the village, climbing to the top of the mountain for the first time. Standing on the top of a few hundred meters high, she overlooked the entire Shanggu Town, and even Crescent City, which was a hundred miles away. Nothing can be seen.

Hua Jin hesitated, did she really do nothing?
But... no one would believe it.

Hua Jin sighed and quickly went down the mountain. She would be very busy tomorrow and couldn't allow her to think wildly.

It was really not possible to wait for a day after the busy farming season to go to the city, write down what was going to happen and throw it into the government office. This was the only way she could think of that was both safe and a reminder.

Even if she went carelessly, no one would believe her.

"Where did you go?"

As soon as she got home, Qi caught her daughter and asked. She was so busy preparing food for the past few days that she really didn't know that the child was out.

I thought I was just going out for a while, but I didn't expect to see anyone for a long time. If I hadn't known about my daughter's abilities, my son would have gone looking for her.

"I just went out for a walk, and then entered the blessed land. I lost track of time when I was busy inside." Hua Jin glanced at her brothers in the yard and whispered, but she didn't dare to tell her mother that she went up the mountain.

"Tell me next time," Mrs. Qi looked at her daughter and nodded the child's forehead angrily.

Although I know there is no danger, it still makes me anxious when I never come back.

"Yeah," just nod obediently.

This little episode passed quickly, and the family, who were supposed to be taking a nap after lunch, were also busy making preparations before the final busy farming season.

He stretched out all the sacks and oilcloths to dry, sharpened the sickles, etc. He was so busy that Hua Chengtian, who lived in the fields, came back to have evening food.

We have to continue to watch at night. The grain harvest in the first half of the year was bleak. If there is no food left, there will be people who take risks. Even the people in Huajia Village are notoriously hard to mess with, so we have to be on guard.

It doesn't take too many people to have one per family. Huajia Village is basically connected together, and there are almost [-] strong men per family, which is a powerful intimidation.

After taking a short rest at home after the meal, Hua Chengtian took a water bag and a self-defense machete and went to the ground again with Hua Meng and others who came to call him.

Fortunately, the night was uneventful. Although there were a few dark shadows shaking in the night, they disappeared almost as soon as they appeared.

The autumn harvest has officially begun.

The whole family, including Hua Jin, went to work together and harvested seven acres of wheat in three days. After that, another few days of intense sun protection and threshing passed.

On the fourth day, sisters Hua Fen and Hua Fang came with their families to help for two days, and did not leave until all the food was in storage.

Before leaving, Old Man Hua was still worried and told his two sons-in-law not to sell the food at home. After seeing his daughter-in-law and son-in-law nodding seriously, he let them leave.

Compared with the first half of the year, this time it was a bumper harvest. Each acre yielded one or two bushels more than before, which made the farmers happy and made many people relieved.

The next step is to pay tax and food. According to what Old Man Hua wants, he actually wants everyone to pay it directly with money, but it is a bit difficult to operate and the reason is even harder to find.

You can't tell them that a catastrophe is coming soon. Those are life-saving grains that you can keep in your hands.

But... no one believes it!

Even after paying the tax and grain, Old Man Hua still stopped the villagers from selling grain.No one wanted to offend the village chief, but they also knew that the village chief was a good person and they understood that there must be a reason.

Their village chief is also thinking about the people in the village. Besides, they don't have any shortage of money now. If they don't want to sell it, they won't suffer any loss if they eat it in their own stomachs.

In less than half a month, we will be busy again. Sweet potatoes, potatoes and cotton that can keep out the cold are also about to mature. There is no shortage of food at home, so there is really no rush.

So when others began to take a rest after the busy farming season, Huajia Village, the village where the two sisters Hua Fen lived, and some other people who had the foresight to spend money to buy seeds began to get busy again.

It took three days to clean all the sweet potatoes, potatoes and cotton in the field. Seeing the piles of gratifying results, everyone in Huajia Village was very happy. It took half a day just to bring them home. time.

After drying for two days, the sweet potatoes were put into storage. Everyone was happy and at the same time truly relieved.

In the joy of the harvest, no one realized that the weather at the end of September remained the same as at the beginning of September.

In the end, Hua Jin couldn't hold it back. Regardless of whether what happened in the dream would happen, she decided to go to the city to wake her up, not for anything else but for peace of mind.

Then Hua Jin went to the official residence in the town while her family was sleeping, climbed up a tree and shot the written note into it with a crossbow arrow.

At the same time, he drove to Crescent City overnight. Looking at the closed city gate and the high wall, he gave up his planned plan. He followed the same pattern and shot another homemade crossbow arrow, inserting it tightly into the city gate.

"Who?"

With a loud shout, Hua Jin quickly left and disappeared into the night.

When I got home, I saw my grandfather and father sitting in the yard.

When Hua Jin came back, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. Zai checked that the child was okay and didn't say anything. He said "go to bed quickly" and went back to the house.

The next time, Old Man Hua and Hua Chengtian were busy. Amid Old Mrs. Hua Qi's surprise, they kept sorting out everything in the house that could be put together. Even the vegetables in the backyard were not spared and picked. Most of it was put into the space.

And Hua Jin is not idle either. She can't do a lot, but she can still fool a few little sisters.

So I rode a carriage with a few little sisters who were close to me and ran into the town, coaxing them to exchange all the money in their hands for various foods. Even indispensable items such as salt and sugar were fooled into buying them. Quite a few.

Originally, the money was earned by Hua Jin and them. Although they felt a little distressed when spending the money, the little girls were relatively thin-skinned, so they reluctantly followed Hua Jin's wishes and bought a lot.

If Hua Jin hadn't learned a beautiful new knot pattern from the town and taught it to them without any secret, and helped sell it to the embroidery shop in the town, how could there be any silver left in the few copper plates she got from selling it to the peddler? Most of the money they earned was used to support the family. That is to say, when the family's life improved during the New Year, they could start to save the money they earned from knitting knots.

I bought it just because I wanted to, as long as it made Hua Jin happy. Hua Jin also felt sorry for them because they were too thin, and wanted them to take good care of themselves, which was a good intention.

Besides, the money can be saved in just a few months, and it is not a waste. The food they buy goes into their stomachs.

Hua Jin was barely allowed to say anything. The girls just found reasons and comforted themselves.

……

The days passed and Hua Jin’s birthday also arrived.

Hua Laohan and his son also lost their nerves. In a short period of time, they were disliked several times by their wife who was preparing to celebrate her granddaughter's birthday.

"What's wrong? You're so careless. How come you're not happy because you're doing the work?" The old man and the old woman were really angry when they saw the old man who could stand still for a long time while making a fire.

It was almost noon, and my daughter and son-in-law were about to arrive, so this old man was not helping.
