Chapter 50: The Eve of the Famine

When they heard that the village chief had no choice, everyone couldn't help but be silent.

One by one, a look of despair suddenly appeared on their faces.

The village chief pondered for a moment and said: "Now there are not a few people who are fleeing from the famine on this road to the north, and everyone has seen it, many people pass by our village every day, I have inquired, and these people are also people from our surrounding counties, and they are all fleeing the famine." ”

"I heard that in addition to our county, this way to the north, as long as you pass through Shannan Pass, enter Feiyan City, with Feiyan City as the boundary, the land there is fertile, the water source is abundant, and it is a good place to settle."

"Since we can't live on this land, there is only a dead end if we wait, while each family still has a little food and water, let's quickly pack up our things and go on the road, it's late, I'm afraid that this little thing at home won't last Feiyan City, and we will die on the road at that time."

"What?"

Seeing that the village chief finished speaking, the villagers suddenly boiled, and at this time, they began to discuss it one by one.

"Village chief, how can this be done? Our ancestors have lived in this Pingshan village for generations, if we leave, won't we even be able to keep the foundation left to us by our ancestors? If we return to heaven in a hundred years after this, what face will we have to be ashamed of our ancestors and ancestors? ”

"That's right, we've lived here all our lives, how can we say that we can escape from the famine?"

"I won't leave, I won't die, what can I do at home after I leave? My freshly repaired house, the freshly repaired pigsty is not used yet? Isn't this walk cheaper for others? ”

"I won't leave, if I leave, who will pick up the grass on my old woman's grave?"

……

The impact of the village chief's words on the villagers was too great, and they didn't expect that the village chief's idea was to let everyone move out of their homes to escape the famine.

The village chief was laughed at by the crowd, but the reaction of the crowd had long been expected by him.

He looked at Yan Lang and Feng Xian, and said, "Girl, Yan Lang, you two tell me what you think." ”

Yan Lang glanced at everyone, and then said: "Folks, let's just leave temporarily, it's not that we won't come back, it's just that it's hot now, and if you don't move your family, when the water and food at home are exhausted in a few days, what are you going to do?" ”

"Are you going to starve the old people or the children of the family to death? How can they survive without food? There is still a glimmer of life for the family to migrate, and staying in place is only a dead end. ”

After Yan Lang finished speaking, Feng Xian continued: "It's better to wait until we arrive in Feiyan City, find a place to live first, and then when Pingshan Village recovers to the previous weather and water source, we will come back." Your house and pigsty are here, and no one will live there. ”

The village chief said, "That is, if there are people living here, can we still go that far?" ”

When the villagers heard this, they were silent for a while.

In fact, everyone knows that only by running away can you find a glimmer of life, and staying in this village will sooner or later lead to a dead end.

The village chief sighed and said: "Okay, don't be reluctant, there are cows and donkeys at home, make a cart overnight to pack up things, bring food and water, clothes for the four seasons, silver with you, don't bring too many other pots and pans, let's go to escape the famine, not to play, let's hurry up and clean up, and we will set off to the north the day after tomorrow at the latest." ”

After the village chief finished speaking, the villagers left one after another.

Seeing that the villagers were almost gone, the village chief sighed and said, "Okay, I know you two have an idea, there will be no outsiders here, don't hide it." ”

Turning to the wind, he said: "Girl, there are already many people in the village who have no water, even if they go on the road the day after tomorrow, if they don't have water on their bodies, I'm afraid that they will die at the gate of the village when they leave the village. ”

"Look...... Can you come up with ideas? ”

The village chief, the old fox, knew that after the wind was fine, he secretly began to store food and water, although he didn't see it, he just felt that the wind could solve this problem.

Feng pursed his lips and said, "Village Chief, you really lift me up, where do I have so much water......"

"Girl, the people in Pingshan Village haven't treated you badly in the past few years, you look at the people who have no water, they are all families with many children, if you don't care, they really only have to starve to death."

Feng raised his eyebrows carefully, the village chief was so embarrassed that he began to kidnap her morally.

"Village Chief, you can't do this authentically......"

The village chief couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Girl, if I still have a little way, I won't beat your idea." I'm just saying, take out what you can take, of course, the premise is to ensure that your home is used first. ”

Feng thought about it carefully and said, "I do have some private goods hidden, but I can't separate much." ”

The village chief couldn't help but be overjoyed, sure enough, it couldn't be wrong to find this girl if there was something.

Feng Xian had let Feng Yili and Wang Qian hide in the cave at the foot of the mountain with hundreds of buckets of water, and these hundreds of buckets of water are now used to replenish the water source for the villagers in the village, so as to support Feiyan City.

When the village chief heard that the wind was hiding hundreds of buckets of water in the cave at the foot of the mountain, he immediately smiled, "Girl, you are really a good boy." ”

Feng rolled his eyes carefully, the bad old man was very bad.

However, this water was hidden by Wang Gan and them, and after the village chief asked him to take hundreds of buckets of water out of the cave, Feng Xian gave priority to Wang Gan to carry three buckets of water and leave.

Wang Gan has many families, and when Feng carefully said that there were 100 buckets of water belonging to Wang Gan, the villagers had no opinion on the three buckets of water that Wang Gan "monopolized."

There are still a few buckets of water in the cellar of the Feng family that have not been used up, and Feng Xian only moved three buckets of water from here, and she moved the water not necessarily because of the bad water, but because she hid the water from the beginning, she had a reputation for it, and when she used the system to buy water, even if there was more water, no one would suspect anything.

In addition to the six buckets of water removed by the two families, the village chief organized people to start dividing the water according to the heads of the village, and there were fifty or sixty households in the village, adding up to two or three hundred people.

In this way, the average family also has two or three buckets of water, and the problem of temporary water shortage is solved.

After returning home, she began to ask Xia to pack up her things, although Xia was reluctant to give up her warm home, but in order to survive, she didn't worry too much, just do it, and immediately began to clean up.

Feng Yili's two brothers are young people, so naturally they don't have so much sorrow and sadness.

Although the atmosphere of the Feng family's family is good.

However, when the Zhang family heard that they were going to flee the famine, they immediately cried hoarsely in the hall next door.

Now she knows that the eldest is unreliable, the second is unreliable, and the third family, although the Xia family gets along with her lukewarmly, she always can't get into their hearts.

Several grandchildren are not close to her, thinking that she has worked hard all her life, and she wants to escape from this bone joint.

She is old, if there is no one to take care of her, she is afraid that she will die on the road if she can't go far, but if she doesn't walk, it will be a dead end.
