Lijia Village escaped for the time being, and the villagers transported their family's grain into the mountains overnight and found a cave to hide. Because each family's grain was piled up in one place, Situ Yan suggested that the village should make a mark on each family's grain bag, and let the village record each family's grain inventory and let each family head press their handprints, so as not to cause disagreements in the future when distributing grain. The village is arranging for a few prestigious people in the village to take turns to stay here and watch the grain.

It was busy until dawn the next day, when all the grain was arranged, and each family only left three or five catties of enough grain to eat for two or three days. If it is not enough, whoever wants to go into the mountain to get food must go into the mountain with the village every morning, otherwise no family in the village can enter the mountain without permission, one is to prevent being tracked and discovered; The second is to prevent some restless people in the village from stealing other people's food.

Situ Yan thought more comprehensively, and specially invited Li Aniu, killed all the chickens and pigs in the house, and made bacon in one morning. When Li Dalang and the others went to Guantian after lunch, they put the meat into the ring. When Li Dalang and the others came back in the evening, they only told them to ask someone to help transport the meat into the mountains and hide it.

Sure enough, as Situ Yan expected, on the afternoon of the third day of sending the victims away, Lijia Village was broken in by a group of disaster victims. This time there were more people coming, and I don't know how many villages came, but it seemed that there were five or six hundred people. These people all rushed over when they heard that the two villages of Tubazi and Shanwazi had grabbed grain from Lijia Village, and there was even a village in another county, which also got a letter because of its proximity to Tubazi Village.

Li Wangfu, the village leader, organized the villagers to resist a little, and let the victims loot the entire village, and a few chickens naturally did not stay, of course, the two hens raised by the Cao family also let the victims rob them, and the Cao family pulled the victims and did not let go, and the head was beaten and the blood flowed, or Li Erzhu helped block it twice, which saved his life.

When they found the backyard, they saw a mule in the livestock shed, and they were about to rush forward, but they didn't want to be scared away by the roar of the snow wolf that rushed over. While running, he shouted that there were wolves.

Li Dalang was dragged by Situ Yan to stand outside his yard and watch, seeing that the victims were scared away by the snow wolf, he was happy, this was the first time they saw the snow wolf as a family from the bottom of their hearts.

The villagers sat on the ground and cried, and even the men cried so much. The village is even more asked Aunt Fu to bring several daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law in the village, leading the children to stand at the entrance of the village and cry and scold, "Oh my God! This still doesn't let people live, Tubazi Village and Shanwazi Village have robbed all the grain, and you come to rob it again, how can we live? ”

The village women cried sadly and scolded even more fiercely, and several little babies cried even more. The victims hadn't found anything, but now they realized that these two villages had already looted Lijia Village, and lied to them that there was still grain in Lijia Village. Since there is food in these two villages, what are they still doing in this Lijia Village, the victims rushed straight to these two villages.

This is also something that Situ Yan discussed with the village in the early morning, first, she was afraid that the two villages that were sent away would not have any good intentions, and would tell the affairs of Lijia Village to other villages. Second, we must not let the two villages of Tubazi and Shanwazi have a better time, but also let them taste the taste of being robbed. Situ Yan also wants to take revenge on Li Dalang, she doesn't believe in any afterlife, she can have a chance to take revenge in this life, how can she miss it.

was troubled by these victims, and the villagers of Lijia Village also forgot to find out the person who injured people with arrows, and Situ Yan was not suspected by anyone, so the four brothers of the Li family were relieved.

The villagers of Tubazi and Shanwazi villages grabbed food and food, and all cats were at home to recuperate from their injuries. Before the food that I had just grabbed was hot, the victims from other villages were snatched away again. Even the villagers of the two villages were more seriously injured, after all, they were all disaster victims, and the people who came were holding back their anger in their hearts, how could anyone reason with them, and directly beat people and robbed all the food. The two villages do not live together, and the men in the village are seriously injured, and no one calls to come to Lijia Village to grab grain. The grain rush in Lijia Village has finally passed.

There was chaos inside and outside Xinchang County. Still in Liaodong County, he sent more than 2,000 soldiers to lead the soldiers of the county lieutenant in charge of the military ranks, took over the county seat of Xinchang, dismissed the county order, and wrote to the court to impeach.

Arrest the victims who took the lead in causing disturbances and riots, recover some of the looted grain and store it in the granary of the county seat, and drive all the victims gathered around the county seat back to the villages, and hand them over to the villages and villages to restrain them, and explicitly ordered that if the victims gathered outside the county seat, they would be punished with 30 rods and filled with troops to garrison the border, and finally temporarily pacified the civil strife.

The victims who were driven back to the village, there were no crops in the fields, the weather was in a great drought, and the mountains and rivers were barren everywhere. This Guanyin soil has eaten too much, the abdomen is as bloated as a drum, unable to defecate, and countless people are suffocated to death.

Some victims began to seek a chance to live in other counties, all the way south. It is difficult for each village to save its own lives, and how can it control the villagers in the village.

In Lijia Village, which had just passed the crisis, early in the morning, the children were playing at the entrance of the village, and from a distance, they saw some ragged people coming towards the village, shouting, "The troublemakers are here again!" "I ran to report to the village and the villagers.

The villagers who got the letter took sticks and gathered at the entrance of the village, and the village was the fastest runner, and when these people approached the entrance of the village, he had already arrived with people.

"Which village are you from? What do you want to do? "Mura Zheng originally got the letter, and he was still very nervous, but when he came to the entrance of the village, there were not many of them, only about 20, and there were no sticks in their hands, and it didn't look like they were here to grab food. That's why I didn't directly start beating people.

"Don't do it, we are from the next village, and my daughter is married to your village. There is no grass to eat in the village, and we have no way, so we went to my daughter, wanting to stutter? ”

"yes, don't do it, so do we!" "And us!" The village is not good at driving people out, so he asked which family they belonged to, and called the people in charge to bring them back, but they also told the people in charge that the matter of grain in the village must not be told to the outside world, and whoever said it would confiscate his family's grain and drive him out of Lijia Village. The heads of the families also knew the stakes and the stakes, so they naturally went home and lectured their daughters-in-law.

Situ Yan only got the letter that night, and in the past few days, she has taken the snow wolf into the mountains every day, one is to explore the way and find a few places to hide grain, and the other is to find more herbs, although Shiro's arm is not seriously injured, but after this incident, Situ Yan still thinks it is good to save more herbs. They all go into the mountains at dawn, and they don't go home at noon, and they don't come back until it's getting dark.

"Xiao Wu, you said that there are so many people from other villages in the village at once, can the grain in the mountains still be hidden?"

"I'm afraid it's not easy, if it's okay for a few days, I'm afraid that the days will be long, even if these people don't eat, we ourselves have to eat, this family can get grain from time to time, and this time the village keeps more millet and Shu millet fields, and eats more corn and Shu millet, it's hard not to make people suspicious?" Situ Yan has a lot of things to do these days, and she has more troubles, but she is more calm, but she doesn't look like an eight-year-old baby when she speaks, maybe the four brothers of the Li family are used to hearing it, maybe they trust this little sister unconditionally, and no one in the family is suspicious.

"What's that going on? Why don't we bring the grain back, I always feel that this grain is safer at home than in the mountains? Li Erlang felt that the food was still in front of him, and he could only rest assured when he looked at it.

"I think it's good too!" Shiro also means the same. San Lang lowered his head and didn't make a sound, Da Lang also frowned, and the family had no intention of eating.

The next day, the genius Liang Muramasa came to the door, "Girl, what do you say these people who came to join their relatives?" "The previous things all relied on Situ Yan to make things happen, Li Wangfu is also the same as the four brothers of the Li family, now as long as there is something in the village, he will come directly to Situ Yan to find ideas.

"Uncle, I'm afraid it's not okay for these people to be driven away like this, even a few aunts won't let it, although there are more brothers and nephews here, but there are also their fathers and mothers, they can't drive away the brothers' family, only keep their fathers and mothers, and this old man can't agree." Situ Yan also almost didn't sleep all night, her brain hurt, she had to take care of the emotions of the aunts in the village, and she had to get rid of people's thoughts, which was more difficult than dealing with those bandits with guns and nuclear bombs.

"Isn't this the reason, girl, if it goes on like this, it will be difficult for us to keep the food in the village. I don't know what the will of the imperial court is, if the tax is exempted, these grains will save the lives of the whole village. ”

"Uncle Wangfu, I have an idea, but I don't want my brothers to know about this matter, if you can help me keep it a secret, I am willing to help the village solve this matter this time." Situ Yan didn't pretend to be a child with Mura Zheng at this time, she was completely like an adult discussing things, but it made Mura Zheng look at it, and then she realized in her heart that this was the real appearance of the girl, and it can be seen that the appearance on weekdays is made for outsiders to see. Although he was surprised, the village was about to be in trouble at this moment, and he didn't have time to explore.

"Okay, uncle promises you."

With the guarantee of the village Zheng, Situ Yan said his plan, "No matter what the will of the imperial court is, our village can't hand over the grain, just look at last year, and only let us pay the silver to offset the payment, I can collect all the corn in the village and exchange it for silver, but it can only be collected according to the normal price of rice, so that every household has more silver in their hands, this silver money is better preserved than grain, and the silver money will not arouse the suspicion of others." In this way, filial piety is complete, and the crisis in the village is solved. ”

"Girl, even this stone of corn costs 1 tael of silver on weekdays, and there are no less than 300 stones in the village, so it costs 300 taels of silver, where did you get so much silver?"

"Before, my brother asked someone to deliver the letter and gave me some money, which is why I don't want my brothers to know, I'm afraid that my brothers will feel uncomfortable." Situ Yan pushed the matter of the silver to Wu Jin, and naturally found a reason to explain why she wanted to hide it from Li Dalang and them.

Although Muramasa was surprised that Situ Yan's eldest brother would have so much money, he also understood that Situ Yan's thoughts about Li Dalang and his family were all brothers, and Li Dalang still had to live on girls, if he let Dalang know, he would be uncomfortable. Just Situ Yan asked him to hide a few things from Li Dalang, and he still wondered, so he figured it out after thinking about it.

"Then, girl, why do you only collect corn and not millet from Shu?"

"I have so much money in my hand, I can't collect it even if I want to, and the people in the village still have to eat, and without Shu millet and can't buy black noodles, I can't only go hungry with the money."

"I'm all confused, okay, I'm going to find the masters and ask them, and see what they mean? But girl, you bought so much grain at once, but where did you put it? ”

"Uncle, I found a cave in the mountain before, and then I will save all the grain I bought, since I bought it, if there is something, I will admit it."

"Girl, this is not a bucket and a stone, if you really have an idea, you have nothing?"

"Uncle, don't worry, I know it in my heart, but when I move food, I can only let my four brothers move it, and others can't believe it."

"Okay, that saves someone from having to think crookedly. Well, I'm not going to sit here, I'm going to find someone. ”

The villagers didn't know that it was Situ Yan who bought the grain, but they knew that the village was looking for someone to come to the village to collect grain, and they thought it was good to exchange the grain for silver, and it was convenient to hide it, and there was Shu millet at home as food, even if they sold all the corn, they couldn't be hungry. It's just that the price of this grain is too low, and now the outside is afraid that there will be a food shortage early, and the grain price must be very high, but the villagers also understand that no matter how high the outside is, the grain in their hands cannot be transported, and it is in vain.

Only Li He and Li Da Niu were unwilling to sell grain, and Li He's family thought that there was not much grain in their hands, and they didn't know how long it would take in this famine year, so they refused to sell. And Li Daniu was because the Cao family disliked that the price given by the village was too low, her chickens were robbed, and she was injured, she was unwilling to sell the grain like this, always thinking that after a few days, the outside would not be so messy, so that she could sell it at a high price.

There weren't many of these two, and the relationship with Situ Yan was not good, so she didn't bother to pay attention to it. took out the money and gave it to Muramasa, and then took Li Dalang and a few people to carry grain with Muramasa.
