Chapter 2 Only Three Days
"Asu, Yaoyao, I'll send the chickens and ducks to Hongyun Building and Taifeng Building with Uncle De later, you pack up the necessities on the way to escape at home, and by the way, think about how to do the work of the villagers." Mu Chenghu said as he walked towards the house and took out a few taels of silver from the cabinet.
"Dad, I remember that the chickens and ducks you sent to Hongyunlou in the past few days have not been accepted."
"Of course, I know that there is no harvest, and I want to use this opportunity to tell everyone that the city will be broken to do the mobilization work of the villagers, and buy some necessities by the way. Do you have anything you need to bring back? ”
"Dad, go to the infirmary to see if you can buy some medicine for headaches and colds." Mu Yao thought about it and said.
"Child, father, you must remember to buy more salt, without salt, everyone will not be able to hold on for a few days, salt is a rare thing here, and there are not many families. There are still hundreds of chickens and ducks in the village that cannot be taken away alive, and they must be killed, salted, and then used to be taken away and preserved. As long as Liu Wu thought of the chickens and ducks running around on the way to escape in his previous life, his head began to hurt instantly, so he asked Mu Chenghu to buy more salt and come back to pickle the chickens and ducks.
As soon as the sky was bright, Mu Yao heard Uncle De's voice sounding outside the courtyard, "Third brother, are you leaving, I think everyone should go early in this hot weather, otherwise these chickens and ducks will be slumped, and I don't know how the shopkeeper Hao is going to lower the price." ”
"Chengde, Qiucheng, you're here! Wait a minute, my eldest brother, and they'll leave when they come. Mu Chenghu said and came out of the courtyard, and at this moment, Mu Chenggui, who was not far away, came over with a few villagers.
"Haha, this time we actually let the two fathers and sons of Chengde rush to the front, the old three are together, we drove the ox cart to the front, loaded the chickens and ducks and left." Mu Yao's uncle, Mu Cheng, arrived first before he arrived.
When I got closer, I saw that in addition to the two cousins of the uncle's family, Mu Lin and Mu Qing, there were also two brothers Mu Chengtian and Mu Chengzhu, who also lived in the east of the village, these two brothers were the only two people in the village who made a living from hunting, and this time they should have gone to buy game with their father.
Mu Yao looked at the person who came and was thinking, when she heard Liu Wu shouting, "Yaoyao, what's the fuss, hurry up and pack your things." ”
Hearing this, Mu Yao hurriedly entered the house.
"Yaoyao, you pack up your own things, you have to throw away what you should throw away, you have to keep what you should keep, you have to travel lightly and bring your own necessities." After saying that, Liu Fu turned around and went back to his room to pack his things.
You ask catkins if they can rest assured that a twelve or thirteen-year-old child will pack up what he needs on the way to escape the famine, and catkins will answer yes. Mu Yao is twenty-eight years old in Huaxia, and she has been working for a few years after graduating from college, and the place where she works is what kind of field experimental base, although she is engaged in food research and grain seed cultivation, etc., but this is already better than herself, a person who has been living in the city before she came here, not to mention that Mu Yao often goes out on adventures with her travel friends, and her experience is better than that of her own previous life when she ran away. This is because Mu Chenghu feels more sorry for his daughter-in-law, so Mu Yao and Liu Wu have basically not been on the ground in the past three years, and as a result, the things that Liu Wu cleaned up in his previous life were less used and more cumbersome. However, Liu Wu, who had experienced the great escape in his previous life, naturally knew how to pack his luggage was the most suitable.
said that Mu Chenghu and his entourage came to the back door of Hongyun Building in Qingshui County, knocked on the door for a long time, but no one came to open the door.
After a while, Mu Chenggui said, "Third child, what do you say is going on in Hongyun Building today?" Everyone has never encountered such a situation before delivery, so it won't be cut off. As soon as Mu Chenggui finished speaking, everyone became anxious.
"Third brother, what do you say you want to do like this, the more than 1,000 chickens and ducks raised this year are only sold now, and almost half of them are still sold, what should I do with the rest, everyone has invested so much money." Mu Chengde asked anxiously, after all, their family has invested a lot.
"Don't be in a hurry, Chengzhu and Chengde will go to the front door with me to see what's going on, and the others will stay here and watch these chickens and ducks, and everything will be said when I come back." Mu Chenghu said.
In fact, Mu Chenghu has his own plans for this arrangement, in his previous life, he went to ask the shopkeeper Chen Guo, Chen Guo said that he would not be collecting chickens and ducks in the future, and he thought that he was cut off and turned around and went to Taifeng Building, but Taifeng Building was closed, and his party returned to the village worriedly to gather the villagers to find a way. At that time, although the villagers were anxious, they also believed that he could find a way, just like when he led everyone to raise chickens and ducks collectively to make money. It's a pity that he didn't think that the city would be broken, and Chen Guojun came. This time, I brought Mu Chengde and Mu Chenggui to let them testify, casually inquire about the news that Lingyang City is about to break, and go back to do the work of the villagers, and flee quickly.
Mu Chenghu thought about it, and the three of them arrived at the front door of Hongyun Building, only to see that there was still the hustle and bustle of the past in Hongyun Building, and there was a sign of suspension of business outside the store, and there were only a few guys in the store at this time, hurriedly packing up their things.
Seeing this, Mu Chenghu hurriedly walked to the shop, and asked Chen Guo, the second junior, and asked, "Brother Chen, what's going on today, Hongyun Building is not open today?" We knocked on the door for a long time in the back and no one came to open the door, so we took the liberty to ask the shopkeeper Hao whether the chicken and duck should be collected or not? I also bothered Brother Chen to inform me. ”
As a result, before Mu Chenghu finished speaking, Chen Guo said impatiently, "Shopkeeper Hao is not here, the chickens and ducks will not be accepted, and they will not be accepted in the future, so hurry up." ”
After hearing this, Mu Chengde and Mu Chengzhu's faces turned red, and Mu Chenghu quietly handed Chen Guo a penny of silver prepared in advance, and asked quietly: "Little brother, do you know that guy intercepted our Hu, you tell us a little news, and we should be prepared." ”
Chen Guo checked the silver in his hand and was in a much better mood, so he whispered, "No one intercepted your Hu, Hongyun Lou didn't open the shopkeeper ran away early this morning, the shopkeeper told us to run for our lives, Lingyang City is about to break, many well-informed people in the town have already run, Taifeng Lou, you don't have to go there, it seems that I ran away last night, I also have to hurry up and pack up my things and go back with my family, you have to run quickly, otherwise you can't run if you want to run in a few days." ”
Mu Chengde and the others panicked for a while when they heard Chen Guo's words, and Mu Chenghu hurriedly beckoned the two to go back when they saw this.
The three of them quickly returned to the back door and informed the other people of the news, and several of them panicked after hearing it.
"Third, is the news reliable? If it's true, we have to plan ahead. It took a while for Mu Chenggui to digest the news.
"Big brother, I think it's true, there's no need for him to lie to me. If you don't stay here, the three of you, Qiu Cheng, Mu Lin, and Mu Qing, will go out and inquire. Mu Chenghu said.
This is Mu Chengtiandao, who has always been relatively silent, "Third brother, my two brothers once saved Zhou Putou of the county government during a hunting, or my brothers and sisters will go and inquire." ”
Mu Chenghu didn't say anything urgently, but he heard his eldest brother say: "That's a good feeling, the news from Zhou Putou should be more reliable, so your brother hurry up to find Zhou Putou, I'll go to Taifeng Building to see if Taifeng Building is really closed, just look at if there are any other shops closed, the third child, you go to Wanfu to have a look, you have a good relationship with Wanfu, you go over there to inquire." ”
"Okay, if you are big, you will inquire according to what the eldest brother said, Chengde, you will stay here first, and watch these things and a few small ones." After Mu Chenghu finished speaking, he left separately with Mu Chengtian, Mu Chengzhu, and Mu Chenggui.
Mu Chenghu already knew what was going on, but he still walked in the direction of Wanfu, because there were two medical centers in the direction of Wanfu Mu Chenghu still remembered that Mu Yao asked him to bring some medicine for headache and brain fever.
But. Mu Chenghu still went to Wanfu for a trip, mainly because Mu Chenghu wanted the people of Wanfu to build a bridge so that he could buy more salt, so that the remaining chickens and ducks could be taken away, so that a lot of salt would be needed to pickle. It's just that when Mu Chenghu arrived in Wanfu, he found that Wanfu was also empty, so Mu Chenghu had to go to the infirmary first to buy some medicine for wind cold, cold and iron damage.
Mu Chenghu had just left the medical hall with the medicine and found that Mu Lin had come over. "Third uncle, hurry up, my father and they are all back, just wait for you!" Mu Lin said as he took some of the medicine in Mu Chenghu's hand.
"Third uncle, why are you buying these medicines?"
"Hurry up and tell you when I get back."
Mu Chenghu's uncle and nephew hurried back to the back door of Hongyun Building.
"Big brother, what news do you all inquire about?"
"Third brother, let's hurry back and inform the villagers! My brothers and I heard from Zhou Putou that Lingyang City may be broken in three or two days, and I am afraid that Qingshui County will be closed in a few days, and the county lord has ordered the news not to spread. This is what our two brothers told us, and Zhou Putou also revealed to us that the county adults were also preparing to evacuate, so we could make plans early. Mu Chengzhu said worriedly.
"Taifeng Building is indeed closed, and according to my observation, a small number of large shops on the street are also closed, so we have to make plans early." Boss Mu said.
"Big brother, that's right, I went to Wanfu and found that Wanfu had already been empty, so I felt that this was probably true, and I was afraid that I would have to flee when the time came, so I went to the hospital to buy some necessary medicines. Now it seems that we only have three days at most, but let's not panic yet, so that we can all sum up how much money we have on us first, and a few small ones are watching here, and the five of us adults will go to a few grocery stores to buy some salt and other necessary things for the escape, and make preparations in advance. But no matter how much you buy, you have to come back at three o'clock in the afternoon, after all, we don't have much time. After Mu Chenghu finished speaking, he and several other people summed up the money on their bodies, totaling three taels and two dollars, and everyone divided the money and walked towards the grocery store.
