056 huddle for warmth

Aunt Santun hurriedly entered the courtyard and pulled people into the house before she said cautiously: "Oh no, there are two families living on the edge of the village that have been robbed by homeless people, you must be careful, don't let the people in the village know that you have food." ”

"So fast, the two tigers live at the entrance of the village, will it not be safe, and you, you two old people in the family, this is not good." Wang Xiaoxia was worried that Aunt Santun and the two old ladies were not safe, and if something happened, they didn't even have a chance to remedy.

She pondered it carefully for a while, and suddenly thought of a way: "Let the Erhu family move to your house, do you think it's okay?" ”

Aunt Santun also talked to the old man about this when she came out, and the old man thought it was feasible, but he didn't know if people were willing to do it?

"Our old couple naturally has no opinion, but I don't know what the Erhu family thinks?" She frowned in embarrassment, if it weren't for her son's absence, the old couple wouldn't have come up with such a method.

Wang Xiaoxia patted Aunt Santun's hand to signal her to rest assured, and then called the second child to go to Erhu's house together.

At this time, they can only huddle together to keep warm, if it is not that their yard is not big enough, let them all move to live at home, and everyone will also have a care.

At this time, Erhu's family was sitting in the hall with sad faces, and the two families that were robbed were near them. If they hadn't come back earlier, their family would have suffered.

"This place doesn't seem to be inhabitable, what if they come to the door in the middle of the night? Your eldest brother can't come back for the time being, hey...... What is this called? Fang Clan was full of anxiety when he thought of those homeless people, and he didn't know how long this war would last?

"Where else can you live if you don't live here? Is it possible to go to the ancestral hall again? Sun Qingjiang was also very helpless, he chose to build a house here to get out of the village conveniently, but now it has become the most dangerous place.

Just as the family felt that there was nowhere to move, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Second grandfather, second grandmother, are you at home?" The second child knocked on the door of the courtyard.

Hearing that it was Jiuzhou's second baby's voice, Erhu's eyes lit up and got up to open the courtyard door, and saw that it was Jiuzhou's sister-in-law, and hurriedly welcomed people in.

Wang Xiaoxia came in and explained his intentions, and the Erhu family was overjoyed after hearing this, and hurriedly began to pack up their things.

She was probably frightened when she looked at them, and after she finished speaking, she went back to Uncle Santun and asked him to drive the ox cart over, and the sooner she moved out of this side, the better.

After listening to this, Uncle Santun and his family drove an ox cart over to help move things, and not long after dark, Erhu's family moved over.

Erhu and Uncle Santun's family knew that Ming'er Jiuzhou's family was going to build an earthen house, and after cleaning up, everyone went to bed early.

The night was uneventful, and early the next morning, Sun Qingmao took the family to Jiuzhou's house.

Knowing that she had to do something today, Wang Xiaoxia got up early in the morning, made breakfast, and after everyone was full, she went to see Sister Zhang again. Seeing that Sister Zhang was much better than yesterday, she asked her brother-in-law to feed some gruel temporarily.

Just after breakfast, her parents-in-law and mother-in-law came, and she took a few children to the back yard to help.

Seeing that they were all working, Butcher Liu was not idle, and instructed the third child, who was watching here, to occasionally go in to see if his daughter-in-law wanted to drink water, and also joined the team to build the house.

Now so many people build houses, and they don't have to go to the village to find people, there are ready-made ones near the mud, they just need to cut down some trees and make beams, and make two beds.

The tree cutting was left to a few young men, and the rest was left to the rest, and God was pretty good that it didn't rain, and as long as it didn't rain for a few days, the house could be built quickly.

In the afternoon, because the villagers were robbed, Sun Li was calling each household to the ancestral hall for a meeting, and several old women put down their affairs.

When they returned, it was almost dark, and the families were sitting in the house eating together, and Wang told everyone about the content of the meeting.

He also advocated that everyone huddle together to keep warm, so that everyone should go out as much as possible, Wang Xiaoxia felt that Uncle Zheng here was quite smart.

After Wang finished speaking, he let out a long sigh: "Brother Lizheng said that the residents of this village are too scattered, and if it is an emergency, everyone can also hide in the ancestral hall." ”

The ancestral hall is on the top of the hillside, not far from where Wang Xiaoxia lives, but if it really comes to that point, even if he hides in the ancestral hall, it may not help. Many entrances to this village can enter the village, and there is no safety at all.

It would be better if the village was built at the foot of Dasun Mountain, and if there was danger, you could run into the mountain. Most of the people in the village live at the bottom of the slope facing away from Dasun Mountain, and it is still a long way to run into the mountain, and the elderly and children cannot hide from danger at all.

"Jiuzhou daughter-in-law, what do you think?" Sun Qingmao felt that the most thoughtful person in the family now was the daughter-in-law of Jiuzhou, so he asked with a dry tobacco stick.

Wang Xiaoxia thought calmly and said: "Dad, mother, if you really encounter the homeless people entering the village, it is okay to hide in the ancestral hall, but I am afraid that if you encounter thieves going down the mountain to rob you, it will be useless." ”

"Bandits!" Qizhou said and stood up excitedly.

"That's right, the soldiers are in chaos, and the heavy snow seals the mountains, the bandits on the mountains have no food, and there are officials in the city to guard the city gate, and it is difficult for them to enter the city gate once the city gate is closed, and they will inevitably want to rob various villages." Wang Xiaoxia analyzed it for everyone, this situation is likely to happen, and it will be soon.

After hearing this, the faces of several old people were not good-looking, and Sun Qingjiang sighed and said: "This situation occurred more than ten years ago, the border was in chaos, the mountains were covered by heavy snow, and the bandits burned and looted from village to village. ”

"If that's the case, Uncle Li Zheng should know in his heart, and we have to make preparations in advance. Early in the morning, Erhu, Qizhou, and brother-in-law, you carry rice on your back and follow me into the mountain once. We have to prepare first, so that there is no way back. Wang Xiaoxia thought about it and decided to move a little rice to the mountains, as for the bedding, just bring it when you run.

"Okay, then we'll come early in the morning, and we'll cut down the wood by the way." Erhu immediately agreed.

After everyone had said something, the others went home.

Butcher Liu glanced at Wang Xiaoxia again and again, he swallowed his words and turned around to go to the house, but she called him back.
