On this day, the father and daughter drove back to Daao Village.

At this time, the disaster was only a month away, and there was a short drought some time before it rained.

At the moment, the crops in the fields are not too bad.

In fact, in the past few days, if you have the intention to observe carefully, you will find that there are more grasshoppers in this field than in the past.

It's just that no one pays attention to this at the moment, and everywhere is as quiet as ever.

The old father felt that the time was almost up, so he summoned everyone in the family to the lobby and had a pre-disaster warning meeting.

"As you must have seen, there have been some changes in our family recently.

I have called everyone here today because I have something important to tell you, especially the daughters-in-law! This is a life-saving event, and if you spread the word indiscriminately, it will also become a fatal thing! ”

Looking at the dazed look of the daughters-in-law in each room, the old father was very satisfied, which proved that the sons did a good job of keeping secrets and lived up to the trust of his old man.

He continued:

A few days ago, Tuan Tuan received a letter from his master. It is said that there will be locust plagues and severe droughts in the central part of us starting in June and July this year, and there will be floods in the south. ”

After saying that, he smashed the cigarette holder and waited for everyone to react.

I saw that the eldest Uncle Gu Anen immediately stood up and said:

"Dad, I have to tell my father-in-law about this, Yu Niang (Xiao Wu's name) gave birth to children for me, we can't watch her mother's family suffer."

The uncles and all the others rushed to express their positions and wanted to inform the Yue family.

Old Daddy nodded, thinking:

I thought the boss was an honest man, but I didn't think about it, and I didn't know if I was pretending to be this kid.

Pretending to ponder, he nodded:

"Why don't I think so, it's just that Master Tuan Tuan instructed me not to spread it at this time.

If I am labeled as a cursed Daqi, then won't I hurt my in-laws? ”

When the aunts heard this, their eyes were red and they kowtowed to the old father.

immediately said that his mother-in-law and father-in-law were loving, and he would not seek trouble for his mother-in-law's family, but only go back and let his mother's family have more food, not to mention anything else.

When Gu Tianxing saw this, he had to sigh again:

There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure! In just a few words, it prompts disasters and occupies the moral high ground, and it makes the cohesion of the whole family much stronger.

Besides, after the old father dealt with his own affairs, he rushed to the house with his hands behind his back.

The old man pondered: I have to give the villagers some insight and let everyone have a little more way to live.

Li Zheng is called Gu Minfeng, the eldest brother of the ancient father, and the patriarch of their Gu clan.

As soon as he arrived at the door of Gu Minfeng's house, his sister-in-law Gu Fangshi saw him, sprinkled a handful of chicken food on her hand, and said coldly:

"Yo, uncle, why is he free to come to my house? Don't you clean up mule carts, ox carts or anything in your yard? ”

The old father touched his nose, and it was not good to fight with the woman, so he only said dryly:

"I'm here to find my eldest brother and discuss something with him!"

Li Zheng listened to the voice and came out to invite Gu Fang's father in, and secretly scolded Gu Fang's foolish woman for embarrassing people at the door of his own house, didn't this make the whole village think that he couldn't see his younger brother!

Gu Minfeng drank tea, and he didn't hear the sound of ping-pong and potting outside, but in fact, he was already dissatisfied with this younger brother in his heart.

Originally, Gu Anxia was admitted to the Tongsheng Examination, which made him feel that his status was unstable, but he was also of the same clan, and he was entangled and happy for two days.

But since then this brother has become more and more forgetful, and now he is buying cattle and mules.

Peasant family, what do you want so many animals for? It's not for showmanship! As a Lizheng, there is only one cow in the family!

The old father didn't care about Lizheng's face, and got straight to the point:

"Big brother, I really have something important to discuss with you today, and this matter is not trivial!" Yubi looked around.

Gu Minfeng couldn't do too much in the end, so he had to lead Gu Dad, and the two went into the study to discuss.

"Is this serious?!"

Gu Min stood up suddenly, there is a plague of locusts?! It's a fatal event!

"How dare I talk nonsense? I heard that the news came from Qin Tianjian.

That's a group of gods who observe celestial phenomena, and they must be eight or nine inseparable! ”

Gu Minfeng had read the book, so he naturally knew the power of this Qin Tianjian.

But he never thought that this was just a lie made up by the old father in order to convince him.

Gu Minfeng is honest in the end, and he acts very prudently. Although he believed in his heart that disaster was coming, he still went to the fields and fields for many days to observe secretly.

On this day, he finally rang the gong used for urgent events in the village, and while knocking, he let his eldest son shout and tell the villagers to go to the ancestral hall.

In the past, unless you worship your ancestors, you will never go to the ancestral hall for idle things.

The villagers were surprised and rushed over.

"Lizheng, what's going on? It's not a New Year's Day, what are you doing by banging on the gong and letting everyone do it? ”

The one who asked was the third uncle in the clan, who was extremely senior.

Gu Minfeng quickly told the news of the locust plague, and the villagers were silent, as if they did not react.

When he saw the situation, he had to explain:

"Minying said that this news came from Chang'an, it was at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and there were all kinds of capable people, so it was not uncommon to calculate it."

As he spoke, he got up again and took out a small thin man, and handed it to the third uncle:

"Well, I was skeptical at first, but I went to the field observation post in the last few days to record it.

Not to mention, there are indeed a lot more locusts than at this time of year. ”

The third uncle trembled his hands, handed the cane to the grandson on the side, and looked through the small book in his hand, the more he looked at it, the more his hand trembled, but it turned it faster.

Seeing the end, no one thought that the old man would have red eyes, knelt on the ground and shouted:

"God, you're not going to leave us a way out!"

At this moment, everyone really panicked.

It has been 30 years since the last famine, and everyone has long forgotten to gnaw on tree bark and grass roots!

Do you really want to do it again?!

The young people are very confused, although they understand that disasters will be difficult, but after all, they have not experienced these things, and they cannot understand the despair of the older generation.

Everyone doesn't care if it's in the ancestral hall, and you and I discuss it one by one.

The Gu Xing family has always been the closest to the Lizheng Gu Minfeng family, so he said to him:

"Lizheng, you say, what should we do? I listen to you. Everyone spoke up.

Gu Minfeng stroked his beard and said a bunch of words, to the effect that:

Fortunately, it is not too late for us to know, and from now on, every family will go to buy more rations. Everyone is scattered to buy, and they can't buy too much, so don't attract attention at this time!

The crops in the field should also be taken care of, and those who have chickens and ducks in the house should be driven in, so that they may be fed with worms.

The villagers were very grateful to Li Zheng, discussing who would be with them, how and which village to buy grain.

The old father had the most ox carts and mule carts, but he was left alone.

Gu Tianxing knew that it was night, and Gu Si said it to her.

At first glance, she was still a little angry in her heart, obviously her father told everyone, why didn't she catch a word of thanks?

The old father comforted his little granddaughter:

"Don't look at how grateful you are to your grandfather at this time, and when the disaster comes, you will see.

It's hard to reconcile people's mouths, let's not take care of this offending work! ”

Gu Tianxing thought about it, why was he confused? Then I stopped paying attention to these idle things.

In the past few days, the cellar of the family has been enlarged a lot, and the grain from the previous tun has been placed.

But the old father was still not very relieved, and dug a big pit under the bed in the old couple's house and buried two large jars of food.

As the day of the warning was getting closer and closer, Gu Anze didn't have the heart to spread the buns anymore.

On this day, the husband and wife closed the shop and went back to the rented yard to pack up their things and prepare to return to the village the next day.

Gu Tianxing was arranged to buy pen, ink, paper and inkstone, she was very happy and walked around the street several times.

After going to the bookstore, she went to the teahouse again, not just for tea.

Since a few days ago, I heard that General Zhenyuan's descendants had returned to his hometown to visit relatives, and Gu Tianxing seized the opportunity to come out to inquire about the news.

Of course, she doesn't have a hot brain, and she doesn't want to rely on the law of the protagonist to meet a general, a son, or something.

I just want to know what the character of these people is, and when they will leave Baima County.

Although Gu Tianxing does not understand ancient times, he is not a fool. She knew very well that once the disaster broke out and the displaced people were everywhere, this small Baima county gate would definitely not be able to stop for long.

Now, she is completely free from worrying about these problems, and even feels that she doesn't need to flee at all!

Of course, this is all the confidence brought to her by the descendants of General Zhenyuan.

These days, Gu Tianxing finally inquired clearly.

It turned out that the surname of the general of this town was Zhao, and he was born in a poor family in Baima Town.

He joined the army at the age of fifteen and was invincible and brave all the way. At the age of thirty-five, he established 300,000 Zhao family troops to sit in northern Xinjiang, with strict military law, and the people called him the god of war.

To say that this General Zhao is not only a cattle man, but also the children he gave birth to are also extremely outstanding.

This time I came back to visit relatives are the third son and the fifth lady, these three sons are only about to be eighteen years old, but they have already worshiped the general, and I heard that they went to war with their father at the age of ten.

These five young ladies should not be underestimated, it is rumored that they have a flowing cloud whip in one hand, and they are playing ever-changing, and they are waiting for idle masters to meditate closely.

This time I returned to my hometown to worship my ancestors, and the brother and sister may have to stay for a month or two.
