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

Chapter 289 289. Hope
There was a leader, so everyone lined up honestly, and the line stretched far.

Some registered to leave, and some rushed over after receiving the news. The whole process lasted a whole day.

As a last-minute appointment, Sun Shangcheng also stayed at the entrance of the official residence for a whole day. Together with the official in charge of sorting out the records, by the end of writing, the two of them could hardly lift their pens.

Sun Shangcheng's father, who is also the village chief of Shihe Village, has been waiting on the side. When he is hungry, he drinks some water he brought. If he is hungry, he has no choice but to go back.

The family also asked people from the village who were returning to deliver the letter.

To be honest, many villagers in Shihe Village were envious of Sun Shangcheng's ability to win the respect of the county adults, but everyone was so anxious that they hurried back after even a few compliments.

Sun Shangcheng, who had been busy all day, was stopped by the Yamen before leaving and handed him a small cloth bag.

"This is the salary my lord gives you."

"Salary..." To be honest, this was a surprise. Sun Shangcheng had never thought about it at all. He quickly took it with both hands and thanked him repeatedly.

He thought that a day's work would be exchanged for grain.

"Thank you Hu Yatou. If possible, please take me to say thank you to the adults." Sun Shangcheng resisted the urge to open the bag and bowed.

"You're welcome. I will definitely bring you here. By the way, my lord told me to continue coming here tomorrow."

"Hey, the students will arrive early tomorrow," Sun Shangcheng agreed quickly.

"It doesn't have to be like this, just arrive before Chen time." Hu Hu nodded slightly and turned back to the mansion, his eyes filled with urgency and excitement as he walked in a hurry.

Can you be unhappy when it’s time to receive your monthly silver?

It's just that the moon silver has been replaced by grain, which is no more than five kilograms of coarse grains per person. What's even more exciting is that the adults can still pay for what they want to buy, but it's limited to ten kilograms.

Even this is enough. It is definitely impossible for the family to fill their stomachs with more than ten kilograms of grain, but with some wild vegetables and other things, it can be mixed with water. After a while, the vegetables will grow and it will be better. Some.

"Brother Cheng?" Old man Sun, who had been waiting for his son, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his son.

"Dad, look." Sun Shangcheng opened the cloth bag in his hand and handed it to his father. The moment he took it into his hand, he knew it was food.

"Rough noodles!" Old Man Sun cried out in surprise, then shut his mouth sharply and looked around with his cloudy eyes.

Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected surprise. When I held it in my hand, it weighed more than a kilogram. Mixed with wild vegetables, it was enough for their family to eat for several days.

Old Man Sun carefully hid the cloth bag in his arms, and couldn't help feeling happy when he thought that he might have it tomorrow.

In addition, the little food left at home should be enough to last for two months. If my son can work for a few more days, he can last for a while longer.

Without food, just eating wild vegetable soup every day will give you no strength at all.

That is to say, their village has a large population, and they are united enough to survive. In addition, they moved to the mountains when the rain became too heavy and the water accumulated. They were well prepared and no family was short of food, so they could survive in such a difficult environment. Zhong persisted for so long.

Even so, every day is like walking on ice, and if you are not careful, you will be attacked by hungry people. That is to say, their village has a lot of strong labor, otherwise it would have been imagined that some small villages would have been robbed and nothing would be left.

It was a very sad year and a half, and the process was even more indescribable, but I finally withstood waves of hungry and crazy people, and retreated from one mountain to another, and then to another. The process It was hard but I finally survived.

As long as Old Man Sun thinks of those days on the mountain, he can't help but have nightmares.

"Dad, let's go back quickly." Sun Shangcheng looked at the sky and interrupted Old Man Sun's thoughts. "That's right, go back quickly." With that said, the two of them walked towards home.

"Brother Cheng, dad will come with you early tomorrow morning. This is a rare opportunity and you must perform well."

"Dad, my son saved it."

In the hazy night, the father and son whispered and walked farther and farther away.

Qin Dagen on the other side returned to Shangqin Village early and told others the news.

Although it requires labor, it is good news to get food seeds. The village, which has been dull and depressed these days, can finally hear a little laughter.

For this reason, Mrs. Li happily cooked a pot of wild vegetable and brown rice porridge secretly in the house. Although there was less rice and more vegetables, it was still thick. It had been a long time since the family had eaten so comfortably.

Qin Dagen continued to clean the well with his son. Their family was one of the few with a well in the yard. Although they used a stone slab to press it down heavily when they left, if it was not kept under water for a long time, dirty water would seep in. Therefore, since returning to As soon as the second day in the village was over, my son and I kept washing. The water in the well had been changed for the third time, and the water was already very clear.

"Okay." At the last moment of nightfall, the father and son completed the last wash of the well water.

Qin Dagen breathed a heavy sigh of relief. This was a strenuous job, and the daily overload of work almost exhausted him.

The happiest person is Mr. Li who is making food.

The water problem has been completely solved, and we finally don’t have to boil water over and over again every day, otherwise we won’t dare to use it at all.

Not only their family, but Qin Dagen also reminded the surviving villagers in Shangqin Village not to drink raw water, use boiled water for food, and the wells must be washed and settled repeatedly for several days.

In the words of his son, they are all like a village. One is prosperous and the other is damaged. If someone is really infected with the plague, no one can escape. It is very necessary to prepare in advance.

In fact, as long as there is an older generation alive in the family and rich in life experience, there is no need to remind them at all.

It is a pity that very few old people can survive this disaster.

Now that I have hope for the day, I have another peaceful sleep this night.

The next day, those who received the news got up early, drank enough water, and rushed to the ancient town.

Different from the numbness when going down the mountain, there is a layer of light called hope on everyone's face at this moment.

Also on the way was Hua Chengtian, who set out at dawn with his son and nephews.

When we set out, we also left a big mark on the place where we stayed, and I would leave one every step of the way. I was afraid that I would not be able to find the way I came from, so I would go further and further away from the direction.

I don’t know how many mountains I climbed, but I didn’t find anything like salt. There were a lot of wild mushrooms, fungus, etc. in the space.

Unknowingly, my husband and I climbed another mountain, but still found nothing. The vegetation was quite rich.

"Dad, it's time to take a rest." Hua Yun'ao wiped the sweat from her forehead to remind her father.

It was almost noon, and they had been walking for nearly three hours. Even though they were strong, it was a bit overwhelming. The main reason was that the sun was too hot, they were sweating constantly, and they were very thirsty.

Hua Chengtian stopped, but his gaze made Hua Yun'ao and his cousins ​​speechless.
