Chapter 123: The Return
"Your system is too boring, isn't it?"
[It's just him, I'm not, I only look at you every day! ] After saying that, the system also sent a refill, and Lu Xiaowan was really surprised, and hurriedly put down the things in his hand and personally checked the packaged grain.
"By the way, what will happen here after we leave?"
Lu Xiaowan always felt that this place was like a flaw, and if she didn't handle it well, something would always happen in the future.
[Do you know how you just got in?] 】
"Awesome!"
Everything was ready, and he left that night, but the time to walk on the road seemed to be much faster, and he fell to the edge of the city in just two or three days, but the people he saw on the road were so shocked that Lu Xiaowan almost went down to save people.
"We can't take care of those who don't have food on the road, otherwise something will happen." Lu Xiaowan was just about to make a move, so she took her hand back, the greed and hunger in their eyes made Lu Xiaowan sober up a lot, and after going back, she immediately entered the house and saw Qin Cuihua cooking, and her heart warmed a lot.
After entering the house, I learned that Ning Xiuyuan had already sent someone to guard here, and there were several elder brothers, who had also been at home for the past few days and had never gone out.
"It's really rare for the second brother and the third brother to be able to stay at home in peace."
Lu Erfa and Lu Sande ran out immediately after hearing the voice, and when they saw the dusty little sister, they looked distressed, but they didn't expect that this trip was only half a month, and it was a lot darker.
"The situation outside is so chaotic, what are you running around, look at the weight lost in the past half a month!"
"What do you mean by running around? You see what I've brought back, seeds, and when the outside settles down tonight, I'll secretly send them back to the village. ”
As soon as they heard this, the two brothers stopped talking, because it was probably not so useful to send this kind of seed back to the village, after all, the people in the village only wanted food now.
"Don't look like this, I already know in my heart, these seeds are planted by my own family, those people who want food can use their own fields as collateral, what I said before doesn't count, this year is a disaster year, everyone has thought about it, then you have to listen to me, otherwise who will give them seeds."
The greed of those victims along the way has made Lu Xiaowan realize that if the seeds are given to them directly, it is estimated that in the end, they will only be eaten, and only by holding the seeds firmly in their hands will they have a little bit of life.
"It's best if you think like this, it's just that my mother's health is not very good these days, don't say that you have to go back to Zhengjia Village, I'm afraid he won't be able to stand it."
According to the time calculation, the boss should be at home, but after coming back, there are no conditions, which means that he has not yet entered the city, but the village at this time is too terrible.
"Why isn't it so dangerous for the eldest brother to come to the village, leaving him there alone, what if something happens?"
The guards outside and their faces were obviously what had happened, otherwise Ning Xiuyuan would not have easily sent the guards here, or this kind of thing, at a glance, he knew that he had been a secret guard, and his hands and feet were extremely nimble.
"We also persuaded him to come, but he refused to say that the things in the field have not been done, Zhengjia Village does not know what the situation is now, I once secretly went back, it is relatively calm, that is, after collecting taxes, everyone has little surplus food in their hands, and the eldest brother wrote a few days ago that the people in the village did not let him go."
As soon as Lu Xiaowan heard this, she recorded it, she wanted him to dig up this food, she originally planned to help these villagers, but she didn't expect to have to take an inch, since she wanted to kidnap her family.
"In that case, then I'll go back to the village to take a look, what kind of people are they, and they want to kidnap the eldest brother, don't you know that everyone is sad in the disaster year?"
Having said that, Lu Xiaowan was still worried about the safety of the boss, after all, when there was no food, they could do anything, not to mention that the government didn't care about it now, and put all the responsibility in the hands of the people.
"Yetian, you guys put these things in the warehouse first, and then quietly follow me back to the village at night, I want to see what the situation is like in the village now?"
This trip may be able to alleviate some things, of course, it will also bring some food along the way, and if you can relieve some of it, you will be relieved first, and the rest can only be left to fate.
[Your grain must be controlled now, this winter will be difficult, while they still have surplus food in their hands, you must first control the food in your own hands. 】
"Don't worry, I know in my heart that, according to my reasoning, they should still have some old food in their hands. 】
Ye Tian was very surprised to hear that Lu Sanwan was going back to the village, after all, there are too many victims now, and Zhengjia Village may also fall, and the news he received has already shown that the people in the village have no surplus food in their hands.
When the night was dark and windy, Gao Ben sneaked back to the village, and saw a depressed scene, no lights were on, and some people were even sitting by the window, crying lowly.
"Big brother, I'm back, you open the door."
As soon as Lu Dayou heard Lu Xiaowan's voice, he immediately opened the door.
"Little sister, why are you back? It's so dangerous in the village at this time, what are you doing when you come back? If something happens, how can I explain it to my mother, and leave as soon as they find out! ”
When Lu Xiaowan heard this voice, she was moved in her heart, and gave the food she brought to Lu Dayou and her sister-in-law first, and saw that the food at home was really simple.
"Sister-in-law is really bitter for you, or you leave with me, and stay in the village, I'm afraid something will happen to you!"
Lu Dayou felt that someone in the corner was listening, made a silent motion, and then turned off all the lights in the house, and only left after a while.
"Your sister-in-law and I don't want to go, not because we can't go, but my home, we really can't leave, if we go, the people in the village will have nothing to eat, you don't know that this drought is a strong wind, a few days ago the officers and soldiers also came to collect grain, every household can only drink thin now, I am more or less close to your sister-in-law, and I can still live."
Lu Zhang didn't say a word beside him, and the dissatisfaction in his heart overflowed, but he didn't dare to deny Lu Dayou's words, in the past, these villagers did help the family, but it would be too unkind to leave at this time.
"But I saw a lot of people in the village, and they had already left, and they had just passed by a few empty houses."
"Xiaowan, you don't know, if your sister-in-law and I leave, it means that we will break off with those people in the village in the future, but this ancestor Mifa can't be completely broken, stay here, no matter your three nephews in the future, or you still have a root."
Ye Tian didn't say a word next to him, and he also agreed with Lu Dayou's statement, that is, Lu Zhang's tears fell vigorously, you can see that he really suffered a lot and was tired.
"Having said that, there is nothing wrong, but there are too many homeless people outside now, I'm afraid you won't last long, and what you don't know is that those people outside are already like wolves and tigers, and there are horse bandits on the nearby mountains, I'm really afraid that they won't be able to hold on one day and go down the mountain."
At this moment, there seemed to be more and more people outside, and some people had begun to cry, Lu Dayong guessed that the person did not leave just now, but just squatted in the corner and did not make a sound, which made them dispel their suspicions.
"Xiaowan, don't go out inside."
Lu Dayou took a deep breath, and he had already thought a lot in his heart, how to face the villagers outside, and those people who provoked people.
"That person hasn't left just now, I know it, but it's not a way for you to keep hiding like this, so you might as well take this opportunity to explain everything at once."
The sword in Yetian's hand has been pulled out, and only people are put down, Lu Xiaowan clenched her fists, and followed Lu Dayou out of the door and saw the villagers who were stirring up trouble.
"Why do you come to my house at night, uncles?"
There was already tension among the villagers, looking at Lu Xiaowan, like food, it was rare to stand up, and she wanted to pounce, but the sword in Yetian's hand was always shocking, so she didn't dare to step forward.
Everyone has their own thoughts, and some people seem to be struggling, Lu Xiaowan is also scared in her heart, but she can't make a move at will.
"Xiaowan, I thought that I came here for food, everything else is fake, a few days ago, the official messenger came to the house to rob the surplus grain, and now the family lives on the bark every day, your family is richer, and you want to beg for food."
The leaves are withering, there is not much money left on the body, and there are those people who have never appeared, some of them are probably gone, and Xiao Wan is also uncomfortable in her heart.
"I don't have much food left at home, this year's taxes are extremely harsh, my eldest brother is kind-hearted, and those who can help you have already helped, and I'm afraid we can't do anything about the rest, but I still have a chance here, that is, to re-weight, the weather hasn't completely cooled down."
The people below, you look at me, I look at you, no one can come up with a decision, and among these people, there has never been a person who has ever seen two crops of grain grown here a year.
The eighty or ninety-year-old lady took a step forward and knelt down towards Lu Xiaowan, the prayer and humility in her eyes made it difficult for Lu Xiaowan to accept it.
"Girl, I have lived in the village for decades, I must know what I am doing, since you said that you can win, I just want to ask the girl to lend some food to my family, my little grandson has just been born, and I can't cut off the rice soup."
The disaster is merciless, the child is innocent, this food can be borrowed but cannot be borrowed, if the willingness to cooperate cannot be reached tonight, it will be difficult to open this mouth tomorrow.
Lu Xiaowan stood aside, her fists slowly relaxed, and the strength accumulated in her body seemed to have some tendency to collapse, and she was still a little sad.
"On the issue of food, I will go to the government to ask in the past two days, you might as well plant the land first."
The people outside began to quarrel, and no one wanted to listen, so they just wanted to get food security to survive this winter, and Lu Xiaowan was thinking about next spring.
