It's just a night's work, and the streets of the He family Daji are already chaotic!

The villagers who fled from Gongnan and Suiping counties poured into the gate of the He family Daji almost like a tide. There are people who can find acquaintances or distant relatives in He's Daji, and they can rest in a sheltered room. Even if you can't find a bite to eat, you can warm your stomach and stomach that has already been frozen by boiling hot water.

And more fleeing villagers who couldn't find a relative or friend at all, after struggling to crash into the He family's big set, they could only find a place where they could barely shelter from the wind, and sat on the ground......

As the old saying goes, it is better to be a peaceful dog than a chaotic person. In the chaotic world, human life is really not worth a few big children. In the weather of October and the month of winter, in order to escape the war and killing, almost all of them just scratched some bits and pieces of belongings around them and fled from their homes in a hurry. In the snowy weather, there was no black or white, and I ran for a few days and nights without stopping, and the weaker ones had become lying on the side of the road, even if they were strong men, after such a hard toss, most of their lives were gone. It was so easy to sit down and catch their breath, and almost every villager who fled had just sat on the ground, and they drooped their heads and snored.

Under the cold and hunger, there are still some fleeing villagers who are really destined to gossamer, and they really have no way to do it, so they can only be the generals who stretch out their hands along the street. I don't care about what kind of shops are bought and sold on the street, they are all trembling and trembling at the door, just hoping that there will be a kind-hearted shopkeeper to eat and drink, so that they can all die......

Lying in the crack of the door and looking at the fleeing villagers squatting in the hole of his house and dozing off and begging along the street, the rich man hesitated for a long time before turning his head and whispering to the housekeeper who was following him: "How many refugees have entered the He family's big set?" ”

stretched out two slaps towards the rich man, and the housekeeper carefully lowered his voice and responded: "If you say less, there must be 10,000 people who have entered the He family's big set." Master, it's only been one night's work, and our He family's big gathering is crowded with people fleeing. I guess I'll be waiting until tomorrow...... I'm afraid that there will be 20,000 people squeezed into He's big set? ”

Frowning tightly, the rich man He said in a low voice: "When the trading of our shops in the He family Daji is the hottest, the number of people who come and go to rest in the He family Daji is only two thousand!" Just these two thousand people, almost all of them can squeeze the He family's big set to the edge of the pot! At the moment, there are ten times more people squeezing into the He family's big set....... I'm afraid something is going to happen?! ”

Blinking a pair of mung bean eyes, the housekeeper was a little inexplicable and replied to the rich man: "Something's wrong?" This...... What could happen? Master, although now that our family has no spearmen in the courtyard, more than half of the things in the He family's big set have also been called eight roads to take care of it, but after all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse? Even if the market is chaotic, let's close the door, spend a few more money, and find a few strong men to protect the hospital, it should be no big deal, right? ”

Shaking his head vigorously, the rich man turned around and walked towards the house, but he replied in a low voice: "Do you remember the great famine twenty years ago?" ”

I shuddered involuntarily, and the housekeeper who was following the rich man subconsciously nodded: "How can you not remember?!" Not to mention other places, thousands of people gathered outside the wall of our He family's Daji alone, and they rushed to the village gate with red eyes from hunger...... If it weren't for the master, you ordered the gunmen in the courtyard to shoot at the wall, and at the same time threw more than 2,000 catties of grain outside the wall......"

Sighing with palpitations, the rich man said in a low voice: "In the famine years, twenty catties of wheat can be exchanged for a yellow flower girl, and a piece of cake can be found to kill people!" I threw out more than 2,000 catties of food, coupled with the gunmen in the courtyard who played with their lives to suppress it, which can be regarded as barely saving the He family's Daji from being looted. Can be outside the wall...... In order to rob me of the food I threw out, hundreds of people died just by trampling on them! I don't have this wall to protect ...... right now."

Turning his head to look at the closed door, the butler whispered in horror: "Then ....... this time"

Shaking his head helplessly, a wry smile involuntarily appeared on the face of the rich man: "It's cold, there is no food in the stomach, and people are tired to the end, so I don't care about sleeping in the open air in this snowy day...... It doesn't take much, as long as there are seven or eight frozen to death on the street, these refugees who poured into the He family's big market will immediately have to mess up! When the time comes......"

"Master, what can we do? It has always been a matter of starving people's livelihoods, but they all started with big families? With the current appearance of our family, where can we afford these refugees to eat a big family? Or...... Master, I'll go out to Tujia Village and ask the young master to come back and discuss? ”

Just a little hesitation, the rich man suddenly waved his hand at the housekeeper: "What use can he have when he comes back?" Besides, just by virtue of your trip, then the eight roads can call him back? According to the statement of the Eighth Road, now he is asked to make meritorious service in Tujia Village to see the after-effects......"

was so anxious that he rubbed his hands again and again, and the housekeeper couldn't help but shout urgently: "Then what can I do?" Last time, our family asked Balu to empty all the grain stocks, and then those refugees would eat a big family...... What can I do......

With a long sigh, the rich man looked up at the falling goose feather snow with his hands behind his back, and muttered as if talking to himself: "Is it a blessing or a curse, and it can't be avoided....... Greet a few long-term workers in the family, put up a pot stove in the yard, and then go to the small warehouse in the backyard to get grain and make porridge......."

His mouth opened wide in shock, and the housekeeper couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "Open the backyard of Kokura?!" Master, this is the last bit of food in our family! The food in the dark warehouse in the front yard has been emptied, and our family is counting on the food emergency in the small warehouse in the backyard! What if this is taken out to make porridge...... In the future, when our family is going to have a time when we don't get together, what are we going to eat?! ”

"Backwards? Let's take care of the present! Let's put it away, if our family really ignores the fleeing villagers outside the door, and wait for tomorrow when people really freeze to death on the street, and then the door will be smashed open, not only the food may not be saved, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect the belongings and lives! Hurry up...... The grain in the small warehouse was carried out for three ...... first Fifty percent, the porridge is also a little thinner, and it can make people drink hot, and it will be done if they hang their lives! ”

Although he was a little unwilling and reluctant, the housekeeper still agreed in a loud voice, beckoned a few long-term workers who were probing their brains in the side courtyard to see the movement, and walked towards the small warehouse where the grain was hidden in the backyard.

Before the housekeeper led a few long-term workers across the moon gate leading to the backyard, the closed gate in the front yard was knocked hard, and a very rough voice was clearly transmitted into the courtyard: "Master He, open the door!" ”

Frightened by the sudden knock and shouting, the rich man subconsciously looked back at the closed door, and asked in a trembling voice, "Who?" ”

"An acquaintance from Tujia Village, I have a few words for you, open the door!"

Just slightly stunned, the rich man did not hesitate to raise his legs and walk towards the gate, and in three or two clicks, he removed the bolt of the door with a lot of weight, and pulled the heavy door open.

Facing the rich man He who opened the door, the chestnut group and a few members of the Qingle County martial arts team nodded slightly towards the rich man He who was looking suspicious, and unceremoniously raised his legs and walked into the gate, and then whispered to the rich man He who was busy dodging to get out of the way: "Master He, I returned to the He family from Tujia Village, how are you doing?" ”

Nodding subconsciously, the rich man He closed the door with force, and whispered to the chestnut group: "TOEFL...... It's okay! Captain Kuri, why are you ....... today?"

Nor was he polite to the rich man, Li Ziqun raised his finger and pointed to the hidden gate: "Master He, this night's hard work, from Gongnan and Suiping counties, the villagers who have fled into the He family's big gathering, I am afraid that there will be 10,000 people smaller." I guess by this time tomorrow, the number of people will have to double......"

Without waiting for the chestnut group to finish speaking, the rich man He who was standing by the door with his hands down had already answered the chestnut group's words in a low voice: "Captain Li, I have also seen all the villagers who fled from the He family gathering outside." This cold weather, lack of food and drink, is really unbearable. Just now, I have already instructed the housekeeper to set up a pot and stove in the front yard to cook porridge, and when the time comes, I will divide the villagers who have fled into the He family's big gathering. Although it is not tender, it can warm up the body! ”

Turning his head to look at the housekeeper and a few long-term workers who were standing at the moon gate leading to the backyard and looking in the direction of the gate, the chestnut group suddenly gave a thumbs up to the rich man: "Master He, this thing is done beautifully!" But....... It's not enough to give a mouthful of porridge to the villagers who fled to the He family's big gathering, and there are other things, so you have to rely on Master He to help!? ”

Arching his hand towards the chestnut group, the smile on the rich man's face was very bitter: "Captain Li, my He family....... How much money you can have, you should also have a number in your heart. The food in the dark warehouse has already been moved away by the Eighth Route Army, and now I plan to cook porridge for the fleeing villagers, and I use the last bit of food stored at home. I'm not afraid that you won't believe it, after this little bit of food is eaten up, there will really be a time when I don't get together, maybe my He family will also be hungry! Captain Li, you have the strength to carry a thousand catties, but now....... My He family is so capable, it's really ......"

Seeing that the rich man He opened his mouth to cry and complain about his grievances, the chestnut group seemed to have expected it, and waved his hand at the rich man He again: "Master He, the villagers who are fleeing in the He family Daji right now are all deliberately driven over by the devils of the neighboring counties, and the calculation is to force the martial arts teams of the counties that are protecting the villagers to flee together, and then swallow us in one bite!" Even these fleeing villagers are afraid that they will not be able to escape the poisonous hands of devils! ”

Surprised, his eyes widened, and the fat on the rich man's face trembled involuntarily: "Even the villagers ...... Captain Li, do you have to get an idea for the big guy? If the devil really forced the villagers from the neighboring counties to come to the He family's big set, then the villagers would have to go into the mountains one way! In the weather of the tenth winter wax moon, it is still snowing heavily...... I'm afraid it's ...... to go into the mountains."

Nodding heavily, the chestnut group said in a deep voice: "At present, we can only rely on our Eighth Route Army to block the pursuit of the devils, so that the villagers can enter the mountains as soon as possible and escape the encirclement and suppression of the devils." But now ...... Master He, you have also seen it, the villagers who fled have not been able to bring out any food and clothes from their respective homes, and they have gone into the mountains to light fires for warmth, cook and eat, and it is easy to expose the target ......"

Hardly for a moment's hesitation, the rich man He had already heard the meaning of the chestnut group's words, and shouted at the chestnut group in surprise: "Captain Li, you are ....... Even if I'm covered in iron, how many nails can I make? There are now 10,000 villagers fleeing in this He family's big set, and maybe the number will have to double tomorrow! That is to turn my He family upside down, but I can't find enough food and clothes for so many people to wear! ”

"Master He, you can't make a family, but there are hundreds of shops in the He family's big set, and you can always make up these things, right?"

"Captain Li, if you want to get these hundreds of shops to make up these things...... Afraid of being embarrassed? The shops on the He family's big set are almost all operated by the father's generation and the son's generation, and it is not easy for anyone to save the profits of the needle-point soil to this day. If someone has empty mouths and white teeth, they will take it like this...... In front of Captain Li, they naturally didn't dare to resist. You can ...... privately. Which shop has a hidden warehouse for goods and inventory? You Eighth Route Army...... You can't make the bandits' tricks of tying up meat tickets, right? ”

"Master He, you're thinking about it! I'm here to ask you for help, but I also got the guidance of your eldest young master - the shops in this He family's big collection are bought and sold, but many of them are rented from your shop, right? There are also some shops to buy and sell, and you have also invested in the capital? ”

"That's true!"

"Then bother Master He, as soon as possible, gather the shopkeepers and stewards of all the shops in the He family's big set to your house! I have something to say to these shopkeepers! ”
