I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 407: Refugees coming

 Eat by yourself, live behind closed doors, focus on good health, and get whatever nutrition you need. You must keep your filial piety for your family, and you must not wear down your body. Otherwise, how can you have the physical strength to work?

Of course, she is not the real person, and she has no idea of ​​filial piety.

But when entertaining guests, you have to pay attention to your image. Even for drinks, she only prepared sake. It was just a formality.

They all ate and drank and talked for a while in the courtyard before they dispersed.

Bai Yunxi took Du Shi to the door one by one, and then turned around and came back. He couldn't help but rub his waist. I really can't do a lot of entertaining people, it's too tiring.

 In a blink of an eye, it’s autumn harvest again.

 According to the summer harvest standard, I asked the second child to go to the town to hire a few short-term workers. I don’t know if it was fate, but the few people hired were still the same ones from the summer harvest.

 With the cooperation from last season, everyone is familiar with it and can work more efficiently.

 Hands of good food and drink are provided, seize the time to collect the grain into the granary, and then continue to sow winter wheat.

This time, Baiyunxi plans to sow winter wheat on all the eastern and western slopes of the mountains, and can sow a season of late rice after next year's harvest.

 Such a combination, the timing is just wrong.

After ten days of intense work, the food finally came into the warehouse. When the winter wheat was sown, Baiyun Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief and went to the town to buy some ingredients to prepare for a treat.

 After entering the town, she suddenly discovered that there were many outsiders in the town.

Although these people's clothes are not shabby, the fatigue and vicissitudes of life on their faces cannot be concealed. It seems that they have come from a very far away place.

Seeing these people, Bai Yunxi's heart sank, and he hurriedly bought something and went home.

 After leaving the town, I saw some people walking towards the town one after another.

These people were dressed in shabby clothes, dirty and covered in mud.

These people have the same characteristics as those seen in the town, that is, they are thin and tired.

I heard people say that they are all people who came here recently to beg, and there are quite a few of them.

 Some people have inquired about it a long time ago. They all fled from the northwest.

Seeing this, Bai Yunxi felt panicked. He was really afraid that something might happen, so he hurried home to gather people together and tell everyone what he saw in the town.

“More and more people are coming to us to escape famine, and they are all fleeing from the northwest. Although they look pitiful, these people who can come all the way from the northwest to us are not ordinary people.”

"So, don't be so kind-hearted as to lure people into your home, especially those young and strong laborers. You must not provoke them. Fortunately, our autumn harvest and sowing have been completed. If there is nothing going on in the near future, don't go out easily. Son."

Hearing my mother’s serious tone, several people’s faces turned ugly.

“Mom, do you think they are the rumored refugees?”

Li Shi blinked and asked curiously.

When Du Shi heard the word "refugee", her face changed, and she couldn't help but feel happy. Fortunately, they had built the house before, and as long as the door was closed, the refugees couldn't get in.

“Mom, what should we do?”

Bai Anyan rubbed his hands and looked at the women and children at home, worried.

"Nothing else to do, just stay at home. We can't control the refugees outside, and we can't provoke them. It depends on how big the number can be. If it's a lot, the government will intervene. If it's a few, we probably have to rely on ourselves. Cope with it.”
