Mountain wild man Ziwang and his wife

Chapter 169
The villagers were dumbfounded.

Grandfather committed suicide.

The granary was burned.

"The imperial court...the imperial court won't ignore it, it will bring food..." Someone said weakly.

"Yeah, let's wait, maybe the imperial court will send food over soon?"

"There should be food in the Changping warehouse in Linxian County. If there is any, we will definitely share some with us..."

"How much can we share? How much can we buy after dividing it? How much will the food price be? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have sold it..."

"It's all about you, old woman. You were the one who urged me to sell the grain. I said to keep enough grain for the New Year, but you must have said that I would buy it in two days!

Well now, the whole family is going to drink Northwest Wind! "

Suddenly, an old man grabbed the old woman next to him and slapped her across the face. The old woman covered her face and cried bitterly: "I just said, I can force you if you don't want it. Listen to the village chief."

"You old woman is still stubborn, I will kill you!" The old man was furious when he heard this, feeling that he couldn't hold back his face after being exposed, and immediately punched and kicked the old woman, and everyone rushed to pull her away.

In the end, it was pulled up here, and someone started a disturbance again. I beat my son: "You are an unfilial bastard. If you insist on selling food, I can't stop you!"

"Daddy, you told me to sell it..." The son jumped and ran, and the old man chased him all the way.

……

Chickens fly dogs jump!

"Stop it all for me!" Yin Gui lost his temper, and after a loud roar, everyone dared not make any more trouble.

He looked at the group of people with a gloomy face: "I persuaded you not to sell it at the beginning, but you didn't believe it, and now you're blaming this and that, can you blame the food back?
Starting today, those who have not bought food will tighten their belts and eat less. "

After finishing speaking, he paused and said again: "Don't be so sad, think of a way if something goes wrong, the young and middle-aged in the village will be divided, and immediately set off to several towns in Lin County to see what's going on and see if you can buy food."

"Yes..." The young adults hurriedly responded, and then discussed who would go to that place.

"In addition to going to the town to look at the county, you also go to the farmers' homes to ask if there is any surplus grain to sell!" Yin Gui warned again, if you don't make clear arrangements for these elm lumps, they won't know what to do. what to do.

"I know the village chief."

"Get out now!" Yin Gui waved his hands impatiently.

"Grandfather, little aunt came back from picking some horseshoe vegetables on the mountain, and sent me to ask what you want to eat? Is it cold salad or scrambled eggs?" After Yin Gui got angry, Youyu and Youliang ran over, Yin Gui bent down and picked Youyu up, holding Youliang with the other hand: "What do you want to eat?"

"Scrambled eggs!" The two children said in unison, Yin Gui smiled and said: "Okay, then scrambled eggs, but you can't eat scrambled eggs today, you have to save the eggs."

"Well, we know Grandpa (uncle)" the two children nodded obediently.

Looking at the backs of Yin Gui, grandpa and grandson, someone said sourly: "The village chief's family is really rich, and they can still eat eggs."

"The village chief's house doesn't sell food, so naturally there's no need to save for food!"

The other people who didn't sell the grain were thankful that they had listened to the village chief's words, otherwise they would have to go bald now.

These people chose to forget that in the past few days, they cursed Yin Gui in their hearts day and night, complaining that Yin Gui made them fail to earn money.

Now, when they see the villagers who are bald due to lack of food, their sense of superiority is suddenly highlighted.

"Old Tian, ​​doesn't your family sell grain? Can you give me a little bit of it? We are friends." An old man put his arm around another old man's shoulder and said with a smile.

Another old man shook him off: "Go away, it's not that our family doesn't want to sell grain, it's because we have no grain to sell!"

After the old man finished speaking, his wife didn't give the man a chance to answer, and directly shouted: "There are wild vegetables in such a cold Tianshan Mountain?"

"How about we go and see?"

A catty of wild vegetables and two grains, wild vegetables are also good to eat!

"Let's go, let's go and see." The women went home one after another to get things done, and wanted to go up the mountain to see if there were any wild vegetables.

What is snow?

Being hungry is the big deal.

Well, let's break up quickly.

At night, it was getting dark, and there was a knock on the courtyard door.

The men were panting heavily, their hair and clothes were all white.

"Hurry up and get in the house, Dahe's daughter-in-law, go make some bowls of ginger soup!" Yin Gui let people into the courtyard, and opened the curtain of the main room to let you in to warm up.

Several people shook the snow on the porch before entering the house.

Yin Tao went to the backyard with Mrs. Deng.

When they heard movement in the front yard, those people left and left, and Yin Tao went to the outer yard.

"Father, what's the matter?"

Yin Gui sighed: "There is no grain in Lin County, and they asked some villages on the way back, and the farmers in these villages did not have surplus grain. The grain shops that came to our village to buy grain also went to the next few counties to collect. I've gone through it again..."

Yin Tao frowned upon hearing this.

"There is no food for sale in Lin County, which means that even if there is food in Lin County's Changping warehouse, it is impossible to distribute it to our county.

Also, what I am worried about is that, like our county, the Changping warehouse has actually released grain, but the common people have not bought it.

Father, the Hengchang Grain Store collected grain before, but now several counties are short of grain...I always feel that there is something wrong here.

We can't control this matter, and we don't have the ability to control it, but... we must be on guard.

Now that there are no natural disasters, it is impossible for the court to release grain, but many people in the villages do not have much grain in their hands because of the previous grain sales.

The imperial court didn't know that the people here were starving, so there was no talk of disaster relief.

Winter is coming, after the road is blocked by heavy snow.

Lack of food is a disaster.

At that time, even if someone has the ability to raise food in other provinces, it will be extremely difficult to transport it to Antu and other counties. "The mountain road after winter is not easy to walk.

Yin Gui was silent.

What Yin Tao said made sense in every way. A few days ago, he thought in his heart that Yin Tao bought so many snacks as a joke, but now he felt that he was too prescient.

"If that's the case, it's a man-made disaster!" After a while, Yin Gui sighed.

"Father, before the river freezes, immediately organize people to go fishing, and the children organize to catch sparrows... Get more food before the snow closes the mountains." Yin Tao suggestion.

"Okay, Ming'er will tell the villagers about it, it's getting late, so go to bed quickly!" Yin Gui urged her.

In the early morning of the next day, Yin Gui first rushed several village elders to his home to talk for a while, and then hurried the villagers to the village entrance: "...there is no food in Linxian County, so I will go to the county seat today. Ask the people in the caravan about the situation in Fucheng.

However, the situation is not optimistic. I think you already know that the Hengchang Grain Bank collected grain all the way back then, and you know why you were so greedy back then.

In other words, nowadays, there is no food to sell in the grain shop, and every household is short of food! "
