"Look at my old servants, they also want to run for a way to make a living, but when they learn that I am already a military household, they are immediately reluctant to give up the newly acquired civil registration, they are like this, and it is even more difficult for people who are civilians themselves to change their concepts."

"That's right."

"If you want to say that you can buy people, you can actually buy people, and there is no one who can't buy silver when you use it, but at most you can buy young child servants, and those strong laborers who can do it will definitely not do it, and we farm the land is heavy physical work, and if the child servants can do it, buying them is not equivalent to throwing silver into the water."

"It's okay, with us, the newly bought slaves may not be good at farming, it is better for everyone in the village to help each other."

"That's it."

The two gossiped a few more words, and then they went back to their respective homes.

When Qi Zhong returned to the back house, he bolted the courtyard door and flashed back to the Thousand Lotus Realm to eat and rest, and the calm and peaceful day was coming to an end.

The nine housekeepers who returned to the town bumped all the way into the town, stopped briefly to buy some steamed buns for a few pennies, and then continued to set off, walking directly through the town in the direction of the county seat, turning into a narrower country road on an inconspicuous fork in the road, passing through countless shacks along the way and finally stopping at the foot of a mountain.

The old servants of the Qi family who set off from the capital, the only remaining more than 20 people are all here, all of them are dirty, but they are not bad compared to other homeless people, at least they have identity documents and other official documents, they are refugees rather than homeless, and there are two cars, I don't know how much others envy them.

"How?"

"Why do you look like that? Isn't it possible? ”

Seeing the housekeeper and them coming back, the old people who could still move gathered around and asked anxiously.

"No, don't think about it, we brought steamed buns from the town, and we will go back to the county tomorrow to find something to do." The housekeeper divided the big bag of steamed buns they bought one by one, and opened another bag of dried meat for one person, and the people who hadn't seen meat for a long time were all gone.

"Is the eldest lady still angry and unwilling to take us in?"

"No, the eldest lady is a military household now, and she can't take us in."

"Military? Why? How did the good eldest lady degenerate into a military household? ”

"This part of the coast is a military household, and the eldest lady holds the title deed there, how can she keep her property if she is not a military household?"

"Alas, poor eldest lady, in the final analysis, it is the master who creates evil, otherwise the good lintel will not fall at all, maybe we will still stay in the capital."

"In the event of such a drought, even if the lintel does not fall, we have to flee first."

"That's even worse, if the master is still an official, he can't leave if he wants to escape, if he dares to go, he won't be an official."

"Oh, damn my God." When you don't know who to blame, it's right to scold God.

Thinking that the escape was about to end, everyone found that their hopes had been disappointed, and they all rested one after another after eating.

The nine people who followed the housekeeper to find Qi Ke took turns to keep vigil, and they didn't sleep all night to add firewood to the fire, they didn't dare to sleep, they wanted to watch their livestock and cars not be stolen, and the housekeeper still had two hundred taels of silver on his body, which was the hope of their new life.

Finally lasted until dawn, more than 20 people woke up one after another, and when they checked each other, they found that they didn't know what time in the middle of the night two companions who had diarrhea for several days went quietly.

It is difficult to escape, the dead have seen enough to see the numbness, this place where the shacks are piled up every day, people die every day, the corpses are not buried, dragged to an open space formed by chopping wood and thrown away, and their own animals come to eat, which is considered a heavenly burial, and the dust returns to the dust.
