Chenjia Village, a place like Chenjia Village, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers, is already very arid, let alone other places. Because of the spread of the drought, not only the price of food has begun to rise, but there are also some places where people can no longer contain the panic in their hearts.

After all, almost all the seedlings in the field have been dried up, and there is almost no harvest in the autumn, let alone food, and even the state taxes cannot be paid. And in addition to the food problem, drinking water is also a big problem, without water, in this arid, water-scarce place, it is simply impossible to survive.

It's just that everyone is still thinking about the country's help, and they haven't left their hometowns and are suffering next to each other, but even so, if the situation does not improve, then the first wave of displaced people will occur.

Now everyone is expecting rain, but God still gives the sun to shine, not even the clouds, it doesn't look like it's going to rain, the people in the village have begun to mumble, although the reservoir has been dug, but if the drought is severe, the lives of the villagers will still be affected.

Originally, every family was not very wealthy, and if there was no harvest this year, then what would everyone eat next year? Not all villagers have savings in their homes, and the price of food is so high now, it may be higher in the future, what should I do then?

Is it difficult to borrow food? But in the village, everyone knows that in fact, every family is not a rich family, it is very good to be able to take care of their own family, how can there be spare energy to help others, even if everyone sees that it is a village, for the sake of relatives and relatives, take a help, but it is impossible to let the whole family get through the difficulties, so everyone's mood is very heavy, if the situation really deteriorates, then it is very likely that some families can only sell their fields and land, sell their children and daughters to survive.

The Chen family is also very conflicted at this time, the situation in the whole village is known to the Chen family, and the current situation is not too good for anyone with a discerning eye. Not even need, wait until next year, because of the increase in the price of grain, many families will begin to run out of food, and now the situation has not appeared, but the village chief asked the families not to sell the grain, but these grains are not enough for a large family to eat for more than a year.

But now the Chen family actually has the opportunity to help everyone, the yam in the forest is a treasure, you can sell it to the shopkeeper of the drunken fairy building, and then buy food with the money you get, or you can eat the yam directly, and you can also eat it full. Even so, do you really want to hand over the money that you found out so hard for everyone?

The men of the Chen family have discussed this a few times, and the village naturally can't have any problems, but the yam thing was originally planned to be done by his family alone for a few years, and then sue the villagers, but he didn't expect the drought to come, so in order to help everyone get through the drought, it doesn't matter if the yam matter is told to everyone in advance.

It's not that the Chen family is so selfless that they can give up their own interests and be selfless for everyone. Although there is also a little reason, but it is more of an emotion of the people of this era for the clan, the entire Chen family village, in fact, can be regarded as the people of the Chen family, they are all related to the family, and it is impossible for the Chen Yu family to sit idly by and ignore it if they have the ability.

And now the yam is not ripe, it will take some days, who knows what the situation will be in the future, there are so many interests in the yam, the drought will produce displaced people, if there is no strong protection, Chen Yu's family does not dare to blatantly sell so many things that can be eaten, of course, the whole village will participate together It is different, then Chen Yu's family does not need to hide it, and the whole village will also protect their achievements, so you can guarantee that there is a benefit of the Chen family.

Besides, doing so will definitely gain the favor of the whole village, and it is better to take the initiative to say it yourself, which can also make the whole village admire and respect, and improve your status in the village.

I'm not in a hurry to say it now, I'll talk about it when the yam is ripe, anyway, no one will know the yam at this time, and it's very safe to grow in the forest. Maybe things will get better after that, but if you don't have to say that the village can solve the problem, then it's better not to say it.

It's a pity that if you want things to get better, it's just a good wish. The water level of the river is decreasing day by day, and the original river beach is also wider, taking advantage of the heat and the water level is lowering, Chen Yu and several brothers and sisters have gone to the river to catch fish and shrimp and come back to add vegetables.

Catching fish in the shallow water is much easier than usual, and children don't have much to do every day, so almost every household in the village can eat fresh river fresh. Of course, the improvement of food did not comfort the hanging hearts of the villagers, and only the children could be so carefree.

Chen Yu opened the fish pond and harvested a lot of fish in the warehouse, but he couldn't take them out blatantly, but because the river became shallow, Chen Yu brought back fish almost every day, and no one doubted it.

It's a pity that the fish made here is either boiled into fish soup or boiled fish pieces, there is no other seasoning, and it is not as delicious as Chen Yu's own cooking. But this is already very good, after all, fish is also meat, and it is natural to be able to eat meat every day.

A hundred miles away from Chenjia Village, several villages were almost empty, and the villagers inside moved to the east, because they couldn't hold on anymore, and the villagers began to move, moving towards a place where there was plenty of rain, maybe they could find a good place to stay.

Of course, these villagers also thought that they would only leave their hometowns for a short time, go outside to find a way to live, and when they settled down and the drought passed, they would still have to come back. Unfortunately, although many people think so, there are very few people who can actually leave and return to their hometowns.

In addition to dying of sickness, starvation, thirst, robbers, and other homeless people along the way, there is an even greater reason that the transportation here is not well developed, and the cost of returning home from a far away place is also a large amount, not to mention the dangers that may be encountered along the way.

At first, only a few villages left their places of residence, but as time went by, the situation worsened, and more and more families left their hometowns and began to move in the direction of the east, looking for a way to survive.

The drought is already very severe, and at this time the drought has not yet broken out in full swing, but more than 100,000 people have left their hometowns and become displaced people.

At this time, the imperial court reacted, and for such a drought, the imperial court would not let it go, so the imperial court allocated a sum of money and grain to provide relief. However, in this era, it takes a long time for the transmission of news and the delivery of goods, so by the time the money and food arrived in the disaster area, many people had already starved to death.
