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

Chapter 286 286. Don’t underestimate anyone
The same goes for the Qin Dagen family, which owns food and supplies. They deeply understand that if they want to survive in such a difficult predicament, they must be like everyone else and follow the rules to live longer.

Don't underestimate anyone's wisdom. Although Qin Dagen has never read a book, he can grit his teeth and use the money he earns to send his son to study. This alone is unmatched by many people.

Even if it was just his family, he would not dare to grow grain. At most, he would secretly grow it in his own backyard.

So after learning that the survivors in the village were going to the official residence in the town, they followed decisively.

Ms. Li took her young son to dig out the vegetable patch in her backyard and plant grain and vegetables as quickly as possible.

Qin Shu, on the other hand, took his eldest brother to continue to improve the strength of his house. As for the bricks and stones, they were all taken locally. There were few intact houses in the whole village. It was not difficult to find stones, let alone his own house. The courtyard wall was already high. Although part of it collapsed, the heavy masonry did not carry it too far. As long as you are not afraid of hard work, you can almost dig it out.

Qin Dagen, who brought the money, went to the town with the few people left in the village. Although he had no free time these days, he might have returned to his home and found food. His energy and spirit did not agree at all. When I first came down the mountain, although I didn't gain much weight, my eyes were obviously much brighter.

The same is true for other people. Although they eat only wild vegetables and dried fish saved a few days ago, their overall condition improves because of hope.

And it's not that Qin Dagen was prepared and had backup. They were all low-level people with rich life experience. Everyone had their own way of survival, and they would try their best to store the food that couldn't be taken away.

Many of those who came back alive searched for treasures in other houses in the village.

Even Qin Dagen and his son also dug around several houses. They really dug out a lot of things, especially the cellars, which were the focus of the excavation. However, most of them were not very waterproof, and either water or food got in. It's moldy and can't be eaten.

After all, it is a village. Even if everyone is wary, it is much better than when they first came back. At least they have started talking.

As soon as we set off, we naturally and subconsciously walked together in a group. We also met many people who looked like they were going to the town on the way. It was obvious that everyone had the same purpose.

I started from home early in the morning and didn't arrive until more than an hour later.

Looking at what they saw ahead, there was an inexplicable surge of hope in everyone's hearts.

Perhaps the quality of the houses in the town is much better in the city. Most of them are brick and stone houses. Although they are also covered in mud, it is obvious that the degree of damage here is much better than in the countryside. At least they can still be seen and are relatively neat. House of.

It's not difficult to understand. After all, the terrain here is much higher than in the countryside, and natural losses are less.

Some of the second floors were not even completely flooded, and the roofs were still intact.

The town seems to be still intact, so this is one of the few good news these days.

Walking all the way in, you can already see people cleaning up, although you still encounter skeletons on the road from time to time.

Facing the sudden appearance of a large number of people, the almost subconscious reaction of the people in the town was to close the door that did not look too strong.

It wasn't until these people passed by that they dared to open the door a little.

Mainly because the eyes of those people were so enthusiastic that they were so scared that they dared to stay outside.

Along the way into the town, everyone subconsciously focused their attention on various shops. Unfortunately, although the floods have gone down, it is obvious that these shops are not open yet, even if some shops are already occupied.

Some people who were unwilling to give up knocked on the door, but unfortunately the door was never opened and they did not dare to open it. After all, after experiencing the madness on the mountain, who would dare to believe in human nature easily at this time.

"Is there anyone there? We, the shopkeeper, are here to buy grain seeds," someone still shouted without giving up.The people in Shangqin Village walked very slowly, looking hopefully every time someone shouted, but unfortunately every door was tightly closed.

There was no choice but to pin their hopes on the tallest and largest house in the town.

This scene is happening at the same time in almost every country and every place on the entire continent.

In order to survive, the common people can only place their hopes on the government.

The official residence is in the deepest part of the town. It is the tallest and most luxurious house. Soon more and more people gathered outside the official residence. Looking at the government officials guarding outside, the people who arrived hoped that they would be promoted again. A little bit.

When Qin Dagen and his village arrived, many people were already waiting outside. Except for the government servants who came out to maintain order and held weapons in hand, they did not see the county magistrate.

From time to time, farmers plucked up the courage to step forward.

"My lord, my lord, when will you come out? I beg you to give the villagers a way to survive!"

Following the old man's words, everyone behind him kowtowed and prayed.

"Folks, don't worry. We adults have always loved the people as our own children and are more anxious than anyone else. But everyone knows that the disaster came so suddenly. We were all caught off guard and had no time to make too many preparations. You adults are also more than prepared." We don't have enough power, but your lord has already sent people to find a way to report to the court. I think there will be news soon. Please wait patiently for a few days. Our lord said that we will definitely come up with a solution for you in the shortest possible time. Right now, even if you are making trouble here and begging, there is nothing you can do, so you should go back quickly."

As the villagers prayed, a man who looked like an unusually thin man from the Yamen came out to comfort them.

His brows were furrowed, and although his face was serious, there was uneasiness hidden deep in his eyes. Even though he was wearing official uniform, it was old and worn out, but it was much better than what ordinary people wore. At least it was a complete uniform. clothes.

"Where is the relief food, sir? When will it be distributed?"

"Yes, sir, the court cannot ignore us. Our family members are all starving to death, and many people have died..."

"..."

"Please sir..."

Many people knelt down and kowtowed, hoping this would be useful.

According to past disasters, the court will allocate a sum of relief food to help the people tide over the difficulties. This is a way to calm people's hearts and is everyone's last hope.

As one person asked, almost everyone stretched their necks and looked at the Yamen expectantly, shouting incessantly.

The head of the Yamen also had a headache. He also wanted relief food. Even though their errands had received the news earlier than the common people, they were more prepared. However, the food they had been unable to get out of the house for a year and a half was almost exhausted. Now they came to work as errands. They all came hungry.

"Everyone, be quiet. I can understand your mood, and to be honest, I also want relief food. But at this time, who is not short of food is a matter of urgency. Your Excellency has already reported it, and this takes time, so I still have to wait. You guys need to be patient and wait.”

The Yamen shouted at the top of their lungs. Now they only have so many people, and the people below are all ordinary people. Even if they hold weapons in their hands, they don't dare to be as arrogant as before.

The people who went crazy were beyond the control of just a few of them.
