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

With Hua Jin taking the lead, Xiaosi also followed his sister closely. He didn't want to be hit hard by her sister again. Of course, he followed her sister whatever she did.

Even Hua Laohan stopped sighing and joined in.

These bricks in the house cost a lot of money when they were first bought, so they really shouldn't be wasted.

After a while, my grandfather and grandson cleared out a lot of stones and bricks from the buried mud.

Speaking of which, I have to mention the old man's foresight. When going down the mountain, everyone should bring their own hoes or shovels.

If you dig by hand, you probably won't be able to dig out a few even if the skin is bald.

This scene is the same for young men who come down from the mountain. Almost all of them are digging, digging for places that belong to their own homes. They are not trying to dig out usable things, but just want to dig out their own homes.

It was already getting late when I arrived at the village. If I went to the town on two legs, I might not be able to get there even if it gets dark. I wasn’t going to go there today, so I might as well clean up the village first and bury things that shouldn’t be there. Bury, clear out the usable ones first, and make some preparations for your future home.

In fact, some people's homes have nothing to clean up, and their entire homes are gone. As for the mud being dried in the sun, rolling it vigorously with rolling stones on the ground is enough.

Unconsciously, night was coming, and Old Man Hua took the lead and stopped.

At this moment, Huajia Village has lost its previous desolation and gained a little more popularity. The messy roads have also been cleared, and all the bones of animals and people exposed on the road have been buried. As long as the houses are still there, after a while, they will be gone. A lot of things were dug out, among which the most rotten furniture was found. Broken bowls, pots and water tanks were dug out one by one.

There is also the most important well, the one used by the villagers. The old man Hua and several men have washed it, but it still needs to be washed two or three times before it can be used.

We just took advantage of the time at the foot of the mountain to get rid of the most important water first. In the future, people in the village will not have to worry about finding edible water when they go down the mountain.

At dusk, the people in Huajia Village, who had been tired all day, finally stopped talking and took a rest. They simply made beds on the floor in their homes that they could no longer call home and prepared to spend the night.

We carry the food on our backs when we go down the mountain, and we deal with it individually.

After Hua Jin avoided her younger brother, she took food directly from the space.

A small plate of soy beef, stir-fried vegetables, Nai's specialty pickles, a small pot of porridge and a few pancakes.

The three of them hid in the main room with only the walls remaining and had a quick evening meal.

As usual, Xiaosi just ate without asking about the origin of the food. In the end, he didn't even miss the last bit of sauce on the plate, dipping the pancakes and eating them cleanly.

After eating and drinking enough, I lay down on the floor prepared by my sister and went to sleep.

After walking on the mountain road for a day and doing work for an hour or two, Xiaosi was really tired. The man on the other side fell asleep immediately with his head on the straw mat.

Hua Jin intended to go to the town at night to have a look, but unexpectedly she fell asleep as soon as she touched the straw mat.

The old man Hua, who originally wanted to chat with his granddaughter, also lay down when he saw this, but he did not dare to fall asleep. After all, the door blocked by a rotten wooden board did not have any security.

At this moment, I miss my family dog ​​especially, but when I think of the shiny white-tailed lightning and the people who have endured the devastation caused by the flood for a year and a half, I suddenly retreat from the idea of ​​taking him out.

Even though everyone is already hungry and skinny, his dog is strong and fat. Isn’t bringing him out a good value for enlarging hatred?

I can only sleep more alertly. Fortunately, Huajia Village is remote and few people usually come here.

Those who came are all related to each other, but now...it's unlikely.Thinking about things in his mind, Old Man Hua also closed his eyes before he knew it, and the night became darker.

On the other side, although it was already very late, there was still a long queue at the entrance of the official residence.

Sun Shangcheng and another official clerk were busy all day long, one was responsible for recording and the other was responsible for collecting money, while Hu Yatou led people to distribute grains, and the remaining several Yamen servants and a dozen minor officials also maintained order throughout the day.

It would not be enough for them to maintain order, so they hired fifty people who had already received grain to temporarily maintain order at the price of one tael of grain for two meals a day.

Although the reward is not much, people are still trying to get this job.

Sun Shangcheng, who was the first to receive the news, received a wave of gratitude from the village for securing ten places for his Shang'an village.

The other 45 people were distributed to the surviving people in various villages in the town according to the wishes of the adults. Almost every village would have four or five people, and the order was obviously much better than before.

Qin Dagen was one of the lucky ones. He was quite energetic and energetic. He was selected, along with two people from the village. He returned to work after sending the grain back that day.

As for the matter of taking back the grain and planting it, it was left to my daughter-in-law and several children. Even though the eldest son has been studying all year round, he is no stranger to work in the fields, and he does a lot of work during the busy farming season.

Besides, it’s only three acres of land at most, so my mother and I have to work harder, and it only takes less than two days to plant it.

Instead of spending all his time in the fields, he might as well earn two meals and one tael of food.

Every time he saves half a bowl of rations, he can take it back and add wild vegetables to make up a meal for the family, not to mention the one or two grains, which is enough for the family to eat for a day.

How could I miss such a good opportunity? As soon as I heard about it, I and other people in the village rushed forward to sign up. Fortunately, I was selected.

No one in the entire official residence could be idle. Even Mr. Liu, who was the county magistrate, was thinking hard about how to get more food. He thought that if it was not possible, he would go to the county seat to ask the county magistrate in person.

And this busy work reached Xushi. Apart from eating something early in the morning, everyone was already hungry. Seeing that the crowd was still not small, and it seemed that there was a trend of getting more and more, Hu Hu saw this and decisively called a stop.

"It's already very late. Those who have been registered will stay, and those who have not yet been registered will continue tomorrow. Everyone should disperse," Hu Hu shouted.

"Master, we have been waiting in line for a long time, please be accommodating."

Come here, no one is willing to go back empty-handed, and everyone agrees when they see someone bringing someone with them.

"Yes, sir, we are too far away. It's not easy to come here. Please be accommodating, sir."

"I beg you to be accommodating..."

"It's not that I'm ungrateful, but it's too late. It's not safe at night. It's better to go back early." Hu Hu waved his hand and motioned to the government officials to disperse the people.

These words are not just pushy and perfunctory. I really think so. It is very dangerous to go back at night. It will be much better during the day. Some people are still reluctant to tear it apart under the bright sky. Their layer of hypocrisy has been tempered somewhat.

"Come back, everyone, and come early tomorrow." The clerks urged.

Seeing that there was really no room for negotiation, even if they didn't want to leave, they had no choice. Although they all desperately wanted food seeds, no one was willing to offend the officials easily, and of course more of them didn't dare.
