Liang Zizhuang and his wife sent their daughter and son-in-law away lonely, and reflexively returned to the yard.

What was said outside the hospital, Chen Qing and Brother Yang heard it clearly. Glancing at each other silently, they all put out the idea of exercising and went home separately.

After hearing this, Liang Zijun pouted and said, "I'm afraid that the second uncle will not be this granddaughter."

"It's not so serious, right?" Chen Qing smacked his tongue, the little couple is not sensible, won't they have to change it next time?

"You don't understand! The second uncle is the most clear about good and evil, when Liang Zixin went out, he took his husband's family to the door to rub food, and he was also in time for the disaster year. It's not borrowed for money, but it almost didn't make the second uncle turn his face. It's strange that Sister Zixin doesn't know anything, and several members of her mother-in-law's family squeezed into our house to eat and drink, and even listened to her mother-in-law's call all her relatives to eat, so that she didn't let the second uncle beat her out with a stick!" Liang Zijun shook his head and said.

In fact, there is a follow-up to this matter, after the big family was kicked out, they were unwilling, and it was rumored everywhere that the Liang family had grain but refused to lend it to their in-laws, which caused the nearby tenants to complain about the Liang family, and those who couldn't borrow it at the door partnered to steal it at night.

I didn't hoard much grain that year, and I borrowed seventy-seven eighty-eight a long time ago, and there was only one family's rations left in the warehouse, and it was impossible to drive those people out, and after recruiting thieves, the situation was calmed down.

Fortunately, the disaster was not serious that year, and although the price of grain shops in the county was high, it was not impossible to buy, and the lack of grain in the granary made the tenants lose their minds, otherwise they would have to make a big incident.

At this point, Liang Baida drove his in-laws out, and said that he would never have such a daughter who ate inside and outside. If it weren't for Liang Zixin's begging and his in-laws coming to apologize in person, this matter would not be so easy to be good. It was only in recent years that the second uncle was willing to give Liang Zixin a good face.

Chen Qing was frightened into a cold sweat after hearing this, he had to lose the warehouse and had no food, otherwise he would have to attract the victims to grab food. I heard Zijun say that the disaster was not serious that year, and there was still grain to sell in the grain store, which almost didn't cause disaster, and this year......

The couple glanced at each other, and got up to discuss with the uncle, I'm afraid that this year will not be good......

As soon as I stepped out of the courtyard, I saw a family gathering in the main hall spontaneously. Liang Baisong explained the matter with a calm face, and said to the eldest brother, "It's better to prepare early, there are two milk babies at home, don't dare to have anything"

Liang Baida nodded in a deep voice, and instructed Chen Qing and Brother Yang to move to the county seat for refuge in the near future. I heard that many refugees have come from the north recently, and I have strengthened my mind to avoid trouble.

Chen Qing shook his head and said, "I'm not leaving, let the nurse take Yuanyuan to my small courtyard to live temporarily, and save your attention to Zijun's other courtyard."

Liang Baida nodded, and walked several mouthfuls at once, which will inevitably make people suspicious, and it is safer to retreat in batches. Besides, the courtyard must also be guarded by people, otherwise it will be occupied by the victims, and eighty percent of it will be given to the disaster.

The eldest patriarch asked Brother Yang to take the dolls to live in Chen Qing's old house, so that he could take care of Yuanyuan nearby.

Liang Ziping loves his daughter very much, and proposes to let Duoduo also go to the county seat as soon as possible to take refuge, Shao Fengzhi gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "No, the girl should know more about it to know more about it."

Liang Duoduo felt the admonitions that his aunt said, and now he is a little bit of a strong little brain ready to stay for the wrong things that Sister Bimeng has done.

Liang Baisong nodded with a calm face, "Mengmeng, this is the lesson, if the girl doesn't know how to plan for her mother's family and only take care of her in-laws, then she won't have to come back if she gets married!"

Liang Baisong's words were a bit heavy, and several mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law lowered their heads slightly in shame, not only did they not teach the girl well, but they never really planned for their mother's family. Although I have never been to my mother's house to fight the autumn breeze, it is also because my mother's power is not enough, it would be good if I didn't post it, how can I use them to take advantage?

There is Liang Zixin in the front, and Liang Meng in the back, if you don't warn Liang Duoduo more, I am afraid that those who cause trouble for the Liang family will become married daughters.

The nurse was able to take her baby to the county to eat and live, and she was very grateful. There is not much food at home, if she is still breastfeeding Yuanyuan, how can she save a bite to eat for the family? Now not only can she save food, but she can also take refuge with the doll, of course, it is better, if it is not for the good food at the Liang family, she would have returned to milk like those women in the village.

Brother Yang and the others went out early in the morning in the carriage escorted by the dart master, and by the way, they took away the slightly precious soft at home.

The next night, the Liang family's mansion was patronized by thieves.

The most taboo thing for the dart master who guards the house is to capture the living mouth, and it is also taboo to put the snitch to death. So, the best thing for the dart master to do is to scare the snitch away.

But as a dart master, you have to go to the room to fight. In the process of engagement, two stones often fly out first, and the roof tiles are reverberate. One is for the snitch to see, and the other is for the beater to know that we have already handed it over.

If he is a habitual thief, he will leave something for the dart master so that he can go on an errand. Don't make the mistake of thinking that these two groups are a good match. The highest goal of the dart master is to drive the snitch away, not to catch him.

However, when the snitch comes, if there is any movement in the room, or the sound of sliding the door and picking the lock, the dart master will not directly scare him away after discovering it, but will wait for the snitch to do a good job of the scene, pry the door open, or say that the roof tiles are uncovered, and the scene is already obvious, and the dart master will make a move.

This thief catches a throat, in fact, according to their jargon, it means to send off the guest and let him go quickly. After the snitch left, the scene was left, so my dart master who sat at night was meritorious, and the things were not lost, which means that I have a role in your house.

Therefore, the dart master who sat at the Liang house at night followed the usual practice and waited for the snitch to pry open the door lock of the warehouse before striking two flying locust stones.

This snitch is obviously not a habitual thief, and he didn't expect that there was still a dart master in the farmhouse, so he fled in a hurry. He just wants to steal some food to satisfy his stomach, how dare he fight against the dart master?

The Liang family did not change the husband, and Li San went home to guard his daughter-in-law and baby, and it was only the Liang family who was shocked by the sound of tiles. After learning that it was just an ordinary thief, Liang Baida waved his hand and dispersed everyone.

Liang Zijun and his clothes fell on the couch and said to his daughter-in-law, "I'm afraid that the victims in the north have arrived, and it is estimated that martial law will be imposed in the county seat next year."

After listening to his analysis, Chen Qing also felt that it was the victim who did it, and the tenants all knew that the Liang family had hired a dart master to live in the town, so they didn't dare to come to the door in the middle of the night to steal food, and only outsiders would come to the door to steal without inquiring.

The next day, I heard that two families in the village had been stolen. There is already a shortage of food, and it is really a desperate way to be stolen at this time, and after the people in the village who have not been stolen learn about it, they are afraid that the rations for their lives will be robbed by the victims.

The village chief went to the door with a shy old face to discuss whether he could borrow a dart master to follow the night patrol, Liang Baida thought about it, if he caught up with the influx of a large number of victims, he had to use the village's manpower to drive it away.

Two people from the ten dart masters were drawn, and each of the black and white classes led a team of villagers to patrol along the outskirts of the village.

Liangjia Village is the closest to the county seat and is also the most vulnerable village to the disaster. The gate of the county seat is strictly investigated, and people who are not from the county are not allowed to enter the city.

Within two days, the victims who had gone south from the north blocked the city gates, and crossed the two counties to the third county seat, but they were still not allowed to enter the gate, and the victims who ran out of food had to dig some grass roots in the field to satisfy their hunger, and those who had money begged people to help smuggle some food, and those who had no money could only lie at the gate of the city and wail.

He Zhi County saw that the victims of the disaster were gathering more and more, and if they were not driven away, they would definitely be besieged by the victims of the disaster later. At this time, how can we talk about the kindness of women, the people under their rule are all living in misery, how can they have extra compassion to give alms to the disaster victims? Qingping County, which was driven away by two counties and was not in a better situation than those two counties, was unable to receive the disaster victims.

As a last resort, He Zhi County can only use the manpower of the county government, and join forces with the ruffians and hooligans in the county, and drive them out of the city with sticks, if they insist on not leaving, they will add sticks, and those who dare to resist will be taken down on the spot, and there is no need to be locked in a prison cell, and they can be directly executed.

With such a brutal eviction, the already hungry and sick victims had to drag their ragged clothes and continue to march south. Passing through the village, the victims who could not stand the hunger finally rioted en masse, robbing and killing people as long as they could have something to eat.

Each village spontaneously formed a team to resist the victims, but in the face of natural and man-made disasters, the strength of the whole village may not be able to withstand the thousands of disaster victims.

Fortunately, Liangjia Village is not far from the county government, and it is in the opposite direction of the southbound road, otherwise with such a large number of people, even if you hire a 100th dart master, you can't keep a Liangjia Village.

But even so, even the little brother was gathered by the village chief to guard with sticks, and the men were fully armed and patrolled all night.

Liang Zizhuang's three brothers each took a dart master to repel two groups of victims one after another, if it weren't for the decisive killing of the dart master next to him, he would shoot through the disaster victims who took the lead with an arrow, and it is estimated that he would not hurt a few people and not easily scare them away.

People are so hungry that they can do anything, first begging, then selling their sons and daughters, and then going into the village to loot, as long as they can survive, they can do everything to eat animals raw.

Chen Qing saw that the victims took advantage of the chaos to touch the farmer's house and brought a chicken out, and without waiting for plucking, he bit the hen with a big mouth. A live chicken was bitten to death, and before he could eat a few bites, he was snatched by the people around him, and the faces of the villagers who saw the scene changed dramatically......

The victims who came one after another started to rob before they arrived in Qingping County, and they were the last group to leave their hometowns after suffering until the end. Those who had money had already left for relatives or to the south to seek survival, and only the lowest people stayed at home and waited for the imperial court to help. However, the imperial court was slow to distribute relief food, and the hopeless crowd fought back desperately before starving to death.

More than a dozen villages were looted along the way, and the victims from all directions gathered into a force, brutally rushing to the villagers' homes to grab food and money, and even dared to rape □□ children. But such people are not tolerated even by the victims, and they are killed on the spot when they are discovered.

The ransacked villages are full of mourning, they have already been robbed of food, and the family members are injured and disabled, so how can they have spare money to see a doctor and buy medicine? The money in the family has long been exchanged for food, and now they can only rob with the victims except starving to death.

He Zhi County was terrible all day long in the government office, and every time he received a robbery from the village, he would be angry and shocked. However, due to the limited manpower, after receiving the news, the officials were sent to expel them, and the victims had already fled without a trace, leaving only the villagers who were mourning all over the country.

Liang Sanye came forward in a timely manner and asked the big families in the county to send their families to jointly assist the county magistrate in dealing with the victims. Most of these big families have a few thugs, and they have hired dart masters to protect their homes, and a private army formed in this way is more than twice as many as the government servants.

For the first time, the three forces of tolerance, local ruffians, and large private armies were twisted into one force, and they took turns to expel the victims within the county town, but they also quickly took effect in a short period of time.

Liang Zijun also distributed fireworks to each village, instructed them to build beacon towers, and the villages watched and helped each other, helping each other and waiting for the official to rescue.

With three groups of people taking turns to drive away, although there were also situations where they couldn't help, but in the end they didn't let the situation go down, He Zhixian praised it again and again, and personally thanked the big families who sent out the manpower.

At this time, if you are still scattered and just trying to protect yourself, then after the displaced people, the looted villages will also become besieged by the victims one after another. It doesn't matter how the people in other counties are killed, if the people under their rule are not appeased, even if they survive the disaster year, they don't want to work with peace of mind until they leave office.

In extraordinary times, extraordinary means were used, and the county magistrate could not care about any personal relations at this time, and said that the major grain shops opened warehouses to relieve the villages, and those who dared to hide privately would immediately seal up the warehouses and hand them over to the county government for temporary management once they were found to be true.

These words are only official rhetoric, as long as the major grain stores come up with some emergency, the people know that the county master's measures will only praise him as the lord of the sky, how will they know if the grain shop is really as they said.

Moreover, the grain handed over is not in vain, and he will ask the imperial court to compensate him according to the market price until the beginning of spring next year.

When the wave of refugees has passed, the few sporadic victims will not be able to do anything, and the villages will be able to repel themselves as long as they are careful and vigilant. After counting as many as 18 affected villages, He Zhi County was in a straight circle of worries in the government office.

The grain collected from the major grain stores can only last for a month at most, and four or five thousand people will not survive the winter even if they only boil it every day, and if the imperial court does not distribute relief food, I am afraid that thousands of people will really starve to death.

Even in the villages that have not been looted, the food at home is not enough to last until the beginning of spring, let alone those villages that have been robbed.

Liang Zijun ran from village to village for days, and as soon as he got home, he was so tired that he fell asleep, and when he woke up, Chen Qingcai asked about the disaster situation in each village.

"Actually, it's not that serious, at most, the livestock have suffered heavy casualties, and only a few people have been robbed of grain, which family will put the grain on the surface and wait for someone to grab it? You underestimate the wisdom of those mud-legged people, and the reason why you cry poor is also to get more relief rations" Liang Zijun shook his head amusedly.

The tenants of his family are all ghostly, after so many years of dealing, whose family was really robbed, and whose family is pretending, as long as you observe carefully, it is not difficult to find clues.

When the unfortunate tenant who was robbed saw him, he really cried and howled and begged the owner to help, dragging his children and daughters to kneel and begging the owner to borrow food.

Chen Qing didn't feel it like he was sorry after hearing this, and these honest croppers didn't look so honest~

After the wave of refugees, Qingping County rarely ushered in a few days of peace, and the families were still shrinking their clothes and food and waiting for the imperial court to rescue.

But the peace is only maintained on the surface, in recent days bandits are rampant, there are often night thieves patronizing the county people's homes, He Zhi County immediately issued a curfew, after the time of the Shen Shi did not allow the people to walk around, all the streets have officials patrolling the streets all night.
