Chapter 142: Choice Determines the Path of Life
After Wu Hongsheng took his son and grandchildren to his house in the middle of the night, after he washed up, he told Wu Guifang everything that happened today.
As soon as Wu Guifang heard that the homeless people had come to this place, her heart chuckled. It's not steady.
Wanderers, that's exiles!
When I think about the drought now, there is an extreme shortage of water in many places.
There was no water to drink, no food to eat, not even clothes to wear.
Their groups of displaced people, along the way, are like walking corpses. The eyes of each are very numb. It's like losing hope completely......
Wu Guifang had watched documentaries before.
For example, the drought in Henan in 1942.
At that time, there were millions of people affected by the disaster.
They were forced to migrate, and along the way, they fell hundreds of thousands of people.
That's a pretty frightening number.
Anyone who hears this number will instinctively feel ,...... It's scary.
It's really scary.
Even in places where they are well-off and able to protect themselves, they will become a mess after the displaced people pass by.
Because all the displaced people need to eat, drink, and Lazar, and they instinctively desire to keep themselves alive.
In order to live, the able-bodied men gave up the old people in the family, sold their wives, and exchanged food for each other's children.
Thinking of the human tragedy one after another, Wu Guifang, who already had a lot of brain holes, shivered a few times in fear at that time.
Seeing Wu Guifang being frightened, Wu Hongsheng stretched out his hand after thinking about it.
"Daughter-in-law, don't be afraid of ......"
"Things haven't come to that yet......"
Seeing Wu Hongsheng looking at herself gently, she thought about it and nodded.
That's true......
Their situation is relatively optimistic now, and she doesn't need to scare herself.
After adjusting his psychological state, Wu Guifang grabbed his hand a little nervously and said softly. "That',...... Brother Hongsheng, do you really plan to let our family follow the Duan family and migrate to the south? ”
In ancient times, when transportation was not developed, it was a huge risk to leave one's homeland.
Especially if there are no relatives in the field who can help you.
Anyone who moves their family out of their hometown can die on the road at any time.
Wu Guifang wanted to get this, and Wu Hongsheng also thought about it.
So, after pondering for a while, he told Wu Guifang what he thought.
"Daughter-in-law, in fact, I have two sets of plans here."
When Wu Guifang heard this, she raised her head and looked at him in surprise.
"Two schemes? What are the two schemes? ”
When Wu Hongsheng heard this, he said patiently.
"These two sets of plans are actually their two choices now."
"The first is that while the large army of those affected by the disaster has not yet come, we will quickly move out of this place with the Duan family. Then, move directly to the south, where water vapor is abundant. ”
"What about this second option, just all the men in our family, prepare weapons and directly capture the Black Wind Village. Then, we took advantage of the dangerous terrain of Black Wind Village and stuck to the difficulties. In that case, we don't have to suffer from migration like those displaced by the disaster......"
Hearing this, Wu Guifang thought about it seriously.
What to do?
She felt that neither of these options seemed to be very good.
However, if she chooses neither of these options, but wants to stay here, then their big family will definitely not be able to resist those displaced people.
Since ancient times, among these displaced people, there have been large families that have been huddled together, and there are also small families that have been scattered.
There are only a few dozen people in the small family.
A big family is hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of people.
Especially those famous families, they have some trilogy under their hands.
Wu Guifang actually didn't read many history books, but she once watched a documentary made by CCTV. It is about the power of the Yang family in Banzhou, Guizhou.
During the Tang Dynasty, the Yang family took tens of thousands of people from their own tribes and went deep into the southern barbarian land of Guizhou. Laid out their own turf.
Moreover, they have been there for more than 800 years. During this period, the power was extremely consolidated.
It was only in the middle and late Ming Dynasty that they were dealt with by the Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
When they thought of having such dozens of people in their own family, once they met such a big family, they would not have the power to backhand at all.
So, Wu Guifang said it at the time.
"Brother Hongsheng, I think,...... Both of these options you are talking about have their pros and cons. ”
"Actually, at the beginning, I was inclined to lay down the Black Wind Village and stick to the turf. After all, you also told me some time ago that there is a husband in that place, and there is a trend that cannot be opened. It's a good place. However, there is a big problem here, and that is that there are so few people in our family. ”
"There are only about 40 people in our family. And for the sake of women and children. In other words, the only people who really come in handy are you men. …… With such a small number of people, even if we occupy the hardships, we may not be able to hold the ......."
Wu Hongsheng listened, did not shake his head, nor did he nod.
Instead, he said slowly, "Daughter-in-law, after so many years, you may have forgotten one thing." ”
"Although our Wu family is just a small family. However, there were still quite a few small families who took refuge in us back then. As long as we knock down the Black Wind Village, those people will come to hear the wind. ”
Hearing this, Wu Guifang still felt that it was a little unreliable.
"Will this work?"
"Besides, those people in Black Wind Village are not easy to mess with."
"They don't know how much blood they've stained over the years. You bring the kids over and you don't worry about them getting hurt? ”
"If they have a three-long and two-short, their daughter-in-law, their mother, don't they hate you to death?"
As soon as he heard this, Wu Hongsheng suddenly stopped talking.
The daughter-in-law took care of it, and it was quite right.
However, Wu Hongsheng still felt that he should hurry up and take down the territory of Heifeng Village. Then, they gathered up their previous parts and made steady progress in this place.
As long as he has soldiers in his hands, there are thousands.
Then even if he encounters hundreds of thousands of homeless people, then his daughter-in-law does not have to worry about being afraid.
As soon as he thought of this, Wu Hongsheng insisted on saying again, "Daughter-in-law, everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as we take down the turf, and I contact the former tribes, then they will all rush to the city. In this way, the initiative is in our own hands. ”
Hearing the three words of initiative, Wu Guifang frowned and pondered for a while.
Immediately afterwards, she was like some kind of determination in the summer, she stared at Wu Hongsheng with her eyes and said, "Brother Hongsheng, since you have made up your mind, then I will resolutely stand on your side." I'm sticking with you! ”
