Ancient natural disaster: The whole family went to escape together

Chapter 43 Decision
"You can't pay with money, so I said, something big happened!" Su Yuanshan said worriedly.

"Isn't this a forced conquest? How could the imperial court ignore our life and death like this?" Su Buwei gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

"I don't want to be separated from my sister! I want my mother-in-law! I want my sister!" Su Buyou said with a cry.

Su Bujing said nothing and pursed his lips.

Thinking of the crowd with rumbling fighting spirit that he saw at the entrance of the Yamen before, Su Bujing felt a chill in his heart, and a sense of absurd unreality welled up from his heart.

The officials deliberately used impassioned drums to inspire people's remaining fighting spirit.

This corrupt and decadent country wants to drain every last drop of blood from its people.

But they can still dance with their fists and shout slogans with high spirits.

They impulsively thought that in the past Qizhou would be able to make contributions and protect their country.

However, this kind of urgent conscription, which even recruits children of several years old, can only be used as human shields!
She didn't know if other places were like Yongzhou, where it rained continuously and the sun and moon lacked light.

After all, information was not flowing smoothly. What decrees were issued by the court thousands of miles away could only be known through the notices posted in the Yamen.

But there have been heavy rains here for several days, and so many people have died. It is impossible for the court not to know!
But not only did they not allocate funds for disaster relief or to appease the people.

Instead, he wanted to lure the innocent people of Yongzhou and use them as stepping stones, in the name of promoting the country's prestige.

They kept saying that they were afraid that the people of Rui would be massacred by the rebels.

But in fact, those royal dignitaries were obviously afraid that their status would be defeated by the rebels, and then they would be reduced to the same low status as the common people.

That's why they were so anxious to send troops, even if they forced a conquest, they had to surrender the rebels.

The officials in Yongzhou did nothing in the face of continuous heavy rain.

They didn't care how many people were swallowed up by the torrential rain and swollen river water.

No matter how many people froze to death in their homes because they didn’t have enough firewood and warm clothes.

Not to mention how many people were buried alive by collapsing rocks.

They closed the door, warmed themselves by the fire, and watched the rain every day. How happy they were!
As for the death of the ants underfoot?

Oh, it's just the incompetence of ants.

While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.

With increased taxes, forced conscription, and corrupt officials, the people's lives are on the verge of collapse.

As for the rebels?

That's not a good thing either!

Under the guise of upholding justice for heaven, they do things that are worse than pigs and dogs!
What kind of courage does such a country in Switzerland have that is worth risking their lives for?

What kind of prestige do such rebels have that makes them worthy of seeking refuge?
When Su Buying thought of this, he raised his head and looked at the Su family sitting together. When he was about to speak, he saw that everyone was hesitant to speak.

Su Yuanshan started talking and said, "What do you think our family should do in this situation?"

Although in the eyes of others, as the head of the family, it is a bit ridiculous to lower his head to ask the opinions of three children.

But in Su Yuanshan's view, as long as he is a member of the family, he has the right to speak when the whole family makes important decisions.

Regardless of male or female age.

As soon as Su Yuanshan finished speaking, Su Buwei was the first to laugh out loud, as if he wanted to speak.

"Haha, it seems that we all have the answer, so let's talk about it together!" Su Yuanshan's expression returned to his usual easygoing look.

"Let's run away!" everyone said in unison.

After saying that, everyone couldn't help laughing.

Everyone has a tacit understanding this time!
Su Buwei smiled and said: "Hahaha, I'm laughing so hard! We fled all the way from Qizhou just to avoid the war, but these people actually want to send us back! Then didn't we run away in vain? "

Su Bujing grinned loudly.Su Yuanshan stood up, walked to Su Bujing and others, touched their heads one by one, and said softly:
"Although your grandma and eldest brother are not here, their thoughts must be the same as ours."

"Such ridiculous Rui and the rebels are not worth our lives. No one in our family should be missing!"

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, feeling that their hearts were tightly connected.

Su Bujing also felt warm in his heart.

No matter where the road ahead is, even if it is torn apart.

As long as the family was together, Su Bujing felt like he had endless strength.

Although we are in troubled times, our hearts are bright.

Su Bujing thought silently: It feels so good to have family!
Since the whole family decided to run away together, they had to wait for Zhao and Su Buyi to come back before they could leave.

Su Yuanshan pondered for a moment and said, "Counting the days, your eldest brother will be back soon."

"Let's pack up the things in the yard first. We need to take away all the thick clothes, as well as ginger and mugwort, as well as pots and bowls... put them all into bedding and pack them up."

They are now wearing sachets and don't feel cold, so they don't have to worry about firewood for the time being.

Su Buwei volunteered and said, "Dad, I'll go pack the things!"

Su Buyou happily continued: "I'll help second brother!"

Su Yuanshan nodded fondly, and after telling him, "Put the packed bedding in the main room," he went to the carriage to arrange the layout of the carriage.

Since you are on a journey, you must put a thick fur mattress in the carriage to avoid being bumpy when sleeping in it.

There are a few other things to put in...

As for those packed beddings, when Mrs. Zhao comes back, they can be put into her space at a thought, so there is no need to put them in the carriage to occupy a special place.

Su Bujing was not assigned the task and shook his head as if nothing had happened.

She walked to the kitchen and loaded several bags of rice that were sitting in the corner of the kitchen into the space.

Then he put the bacon hanging on the beam into the space.

There were also fresh meat, sweet potatoes, beans in the baskets, as well as some expensive spices, and candles for lighting, all of which were taken into the fairy mansion.

At this time, there were not much [-] square meters left in the Immortal Mansion.

Thinking of the supplies her mother-in-law had collected, Su Bujing nodded with satisfaction.

Compared to the last time they escaped, their family was quite well prepared this time!
From a certain perspective, it can be regarded as significant progress.

The family didn't work for long before Su Yuanshan rushed them to rest.

They all slept in Su Yuanshan's bedroom, lying on the same quilt and fell asleep.

The next day, the yamen sent people to knock on doors door-to-door, urging them to register for conscription.

Su Yuanshan went to the Yamen to register unhurriedly and had a conversation with the officials. His words were full of firm belief in crushing the rebels.

The officials who heard these words smiled and nodded in praise.

Well done!With these enemies going to Qizhou to collect people and act as human shields, their performance can be mentioned again...

At the same time, they also intentionally or unintentionally relaxed their surveillance and control over the Su family.

Su Yuanshan would take Su Bujing and others every day to find suitable escape routes around Bai County in a low-key manner.

Even in the heavy rain, I didn’t give up.

Finally a hidden path was found.
