Chapter 47: The Sin of Gender 47
Needless to say, Qin Shuangshuang also knew why the village chief was sad, there was a drought last year, not to mention that there was no harvest in the field, but the harvest was only three or four layers in previous years.
Fortunately, the imperial court issued an edict to reduce and reduce taxes, and the villagers kept all the food for themselves, although they had no income, they would not starve to death.
The big guy is looking forward to this year's harvest to be better, but the lack of snow for a winter has made everyone have some bad premonitions, sure enough, from the beginning of spring this year to the present, there has been no rain, the ground is cracked, and it is impossible to sow seeds at all!
Not to mention farming, even if Qin Shuangshuang enters the mountains, he has to go farther into the mountains to collect medicine, there are a lot fewer common prey in the past, Qin Shuangshuang has not seen large prey for more than a month!
With Qin Shuangshuang and Fang Zhongyi's hunting skills, this is very abnormal! Today, this wild boar was encountered by Qin Shuangshuang when he entered a deep mountain and was about to dry up at the edge of a pool.
Don't look at the wild boar that Qin Shuangshuang hit weighs more than 500 catties, in fact, this wild boar is already very thin, this wild boar that Qin Shuangshuang hit is one of the unique wild boar breeds in their place, this wild boar has a strong attack power, at least twice as big as the usual wild boar, even the tiger and the black bear dare not fight it, and the hunter does not dare to move it easily, it is simply invincible.
It's just that the number of such wild boars is scarce, but the normal weight of adult wild boars is more than 1,000 catties, which is twice that of ordinary wild boars! But now the weight of this adult wild boar is only more than 500 catties and less than 600 catties, which shows that the wild creatures in the mountains are not having a good time, no, it should be said that it is very bad!
Qin Shuangshuang looked at the village chief, who had aged a lot and lost a lot of weight, and felt very uncomfortable, this elder who had always taken care of her very much, in just a few months, quickly became haggard and old!
When the village chief saw Qin Shuangshuang, a smile appeared on his thin face, "It's Shuangshuang!" He glanced at the big pig's head that was more than twenty catties in Qin Shuang's hands, and sighed.
"The recent prey is not easy to get, you haven't hit anything for a few days, don't always send it to me, this pig you can make bacon or jerky, don't sell it, look at this year's year, I'm afraid it's enough to choke, it's really a bit of a matter of silver doesn't work, or save more food!"
Qin Shuangshuang put down the pig's head in his hand with a smile, "I'll keep it, it's not bad for this thing, you have been looking much haggard recently, you have to eat some good supplements, I'll send a few bones over in a while, and let Grandma Wang boil soup for you to drink, that one is the most nourishing." ”
Bidding farewell to the village chief, on the way back, Qin Shuangshuang's mood was very heavy, because compared to the villagers who were still looking forward to the rain in the sky, Qin Shuangshuang already knew that this year was a harsher year than last year, because there was no harvest in the field this year!
And to add insult to injury, when the villagers wanted to go to the direction of the capital to ask for a way to survive, what they were waiting for was indeed the ban of the government and the edict of the imperial court to relocate the people!
The imperial court wants to move tens of thousands of victims of the disaster to the northwest border city, because if the imperial court wants to establish a border city trade center, it needs a border city with abundant and desolate people!
What a place is the border city! There is next to the Hu people, for the people of the Great Dye Dynasty, the horror of the Hu people is simply unimaginable, living in the border city is almost equivalent to death, because every time the Hu people invade the Great Dye, they will burn and loot the border, and the people are terrified of the Hu people!
Although the imperial court gave a bunch of generous policies, and even promised the people who went to the border city that non-merchants would not be taxed within fifty years, but even with such a policy, no people were willing to go, because for ordinary people, going to the border city and going to the palace of the king of Hades were equated!
No matter how much the people resisted, the court made up its mind this time to force the people to go to the border city, as long as they were willing to go to the border city, give food and clothes to wrap around, and set up soup kitchens along the way, so as to ensure that the people could reach the border city alive to the greatest extent.
But if they refuse to leave, the court will not allow the people to leave their hometowns, and second, they will not give disaster relief food, even if they starve to death.
Although they can't escape and have no relief, the people's fear of the border city still makes them hesitate, sticking to their hometown, looking forward to the day when the court will be able to give relief!
It turned out that the arms could not twist the thighs, the court was ruthless, and the people were finally hungry to the extent of eating human flesh, and there were still many people who refused to leave their hometowns.
In the end, the impatient imperial court ran out of patience and began to send troops to violently expel them, and these people dragged their families with their mouths, wept and said goodbye to their homeland, and reluctantly went to the border city.
In his previous life, Qin Shuangshuang followed the Qin family and was driven to the border city day and night by soldiers like prisoners.
After arriving in the border city, all the preferential policies of the imperial court were revoked, and the people even needed to do a year of hard labor to build the city in exchange for cultivated land, and those preferential policies were only available to those who came to the border city on their own initiative before.
When she was just reborn, Qin Shuangshuang didn't want to go to the border city, so she thought about waiting until the disaster year, when everyone was unwilling to go to the border city, she would run away with her mother in advance, and then find a deep mountain and old forest halfway to hide temporarily.
At that moment, Qin Shuangshuang felt that with his innate strange power, there were almost no things in the mountains and forests that could cause danger to her and her mother.
And Qin Shuangshuang also knew that after this time of moving people to the border, there would be a lot of displaced people in the neighboring state capital because of the locust plague, and the imperial court would not continue to move people into the border this time, so she and her mother could come out of the mountains and merge into the displaced people, so as to avoid being investigated by the officials, and then she and her mother would find a new place to start their lives again.
Qin Shuangshuang thought very well, but the plan did not change quickly, and now Qin Shuangshuang could no longer pat her ass with her mother Bai and walked away.
Her family has more eldest sisters, more Fang Zhongyi, more Fang Yaoyao, and the village chief grandfather who takes care of her, Grandma Wang, Aunt Hao, Qin Yuan, Qin Qiaoer, Qin Sheng, Uncle He, and many villagers who have given her food and clothing!
Qin Shuangshuang couldn't let go of these people, she wanted to take these people with her, she clearly remembered that when she left at the end of her last life, many people in the village died on the road because of their poor health!
Among them is the village chief grandfather who is very good to her, Uncle He, and now, she can't watch these people who helped her die anyway!
"Shuangshuang, Shuangshuang!" Qin Shuangshuang came back to her senses and looked at Qin Miao who was waving in front of her, it turned out that she was thinking about it just now, and she was standing in front of her house in a daze, and there was still a big wild boar that had given away a lot of people and no less than five hundred catties at her feet.
Rubbing his temples with a little headache, Qin Shuangshuang asked Qin Miao, "It's my sister, what's the matter with calling me?" ”
