It wasn't until more than half an hour later that the three of them came back, and everyone stared at the three of them again, without blinking their eyes, just waiting for them to give an answer, which could reassure them.

"Uncle Patriarch, it's indeed the same as what Xiuwen Kid said, we went a little farther away, and found that many waterholes had dried up, and some of them were still cracked even if they were covered with ice." The sixth told everyone in the ancestral hall what they had seen, and everyone looked solemn after listening to it.

You know, even in the driest season, there has never been such a situation, and the waterhole on the boar slope has not been dry for decades, and it has always been a place where they measure how much rain a year.

The drying up of the wild boar splash pool represents the occurrence of the next drought.

The patriarch looked at the village chief with a solemn face: "Second brother, you go and gather the people in the village now, everyone must know this situation, how much grain was confiscated from last autumn, and the current situation must make those who want to sell the grain all dispelled that idea, and you are the same, now the grain can only be bought, not sold."

The situation of each family is registered in the village, if any family secretly sells the grain, then when the drought occurs, don't come to the clan to cry poor, I won't care. "The patriarch lays out the worst for everyone to see.

There are a total of one hundred and sixteen households in their Yangjia Village, of course, this number is counted together with several foreign households, and those who come from outside have also lived in the village for twenty or thirty years, so the patriarch has included them in the scope of his family.

Of course, those people did not disappoint the patriarch, and such an important matter would not be left behind them.

"I see, Uncle Patriarch." The village chief is of the same generation as Yang Zhengsong, but he is more than ten years older and is already a grandfather.

The village chief had only left for a short while, and the village rang a bell, which was a bronze bell that would ring when there was a big event in the village, hanging on the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village.

Soon, the people in the village gathered at the entrance of the ancestral hall, and even the little children who walked around the alleys came over in a proper manner.

"Okay, be quiet, it's a very serious matter to let everyone come over at this time, I want to tell everyone, be quiet." The village chief first stood on the stone pier at the entrance of the ancestral hall and asked everyone to be quiet first.

It's a little cold outside, so you still have to do it quickly.

The patriarch didn't have ink, and as soon as the village chief finished speaking, he took over the conversation: "Early this morning, the Xiuwen boy of the Yang Laosan family told me that the waterhole on the side of the wild boar slope in the mountains has dried up, you know, even if there was a drought more than ten years ago, the wild boar slope has not dried up, and this matter is very serious."

The old man was afraid that the kid couldn't see clearly, so he asked the sixth and seventh to go with him to see, they were afraid that this place was not accurate, and they went inside, and the waterholes in there were almost dried up, and some of them had cracks, and the grain received this year was not much, and the next days did not know how long the drought would be, and the food at home could not be sold.

The grain you have harvested this year is registered in the village, and if anyone dares to sell the grain secretly, then don't blame me for being ruthless when the drought appears. After the patriarch finished speaking, those sharp eyes stared at everyone below.

Except for Yang Dashan's family, the rest of the people looked like they had already listened, and the two daughters-in-law of Yang Dashan's family looked indifferent.

For this family, the patriarch doesn't want to care at all, but no matter what, they are all members of the Yang clan, no matter what.

This year's reunion dinner was a little depressing, and the patriarch gave away all the meat left over from the pig.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, when I returned to my parents' house, many little daughters-in-law who married from other villages told their families about the situation when they went back, and the patriarch of the Yang family, everyone was very convinced, and soon someone was ready.

Drought or not? With food in hand and no panic in my heart, many people took action that day.

There are also many people in Yangjia Village, who go to the county seat early in the morning and buy all the money they can embezzle into grain and secretly store it in the cellar of their home.

The patriarch was also very relieved to know these circumstances, although there was a drought, they really didn't want to leave their homeland, they knew that things were expensive to leave their hometowns, and people were cheap to leave their hometowns, as long as there was still a way to live here, they didn't want to go out and flee.

In the next few days of the Chinese New Year, the lively atmosphere disappeared, Yang Xiuwen took the uncles in the village into the mountain together, the old patriarch meant to find a place to live in the mountain, survive the drought and then come out.

The first thing Yang Xiuwen thought of was the place where the child met the boy in the dream in the dream, but there was a big tiger there, and the villagers couldn't be allowed to take risks.

After five or six days, there was still nothing, and the patriarch told everyone to rest for two days before continuing.

On the first day of Yang Xiuwen's rest, he took his family directly to the place where Yang Xiuwen saved Huayi's son in his dream, and it was at this time that they quietly came to the place where the tiger roared out.

At the same time, sure enough, he heard the sound of swords colliding, Yang Xiuwen didn't tell his family before he came, saving this person, the child would die here, and that was also because according to his sister's story, the whole family knew that this Hou Ye could not be saved, not only would it not bring any benefits, but it would also bring disaster to the whole family.

Yang Xiuwen said with a lip shape: "This is it." After that, everyone began to find a place to hide themselves, and Father Yang was directly asked to go home because he had no force value, but he was worried about his wife and children, and he was afraid that he would drag his feet, and the whole person was twisted into a ball.

Yang Yuqing had no choice, she went back with her father directly, she was a small oil bottle, and she didn't dare to drag her feet outside, so she just went back with her father.

The father and daughter sat quietly at home, Yang Yuqing could see outside, so they sat there quietly and waited, Yang's father had no way to know the movement outside, and the whole person couldn't be quiet, so he could only pace in the living room.

"Dad, let's go cook! Cook millet porridge and give it to my mother and older siblings for a while, we don't know how long we have to stay on it, we have to make sure that my mother and my brother and sister don't go hungry. Yang Yuqing watched her father wandering around the living room, she was really a little dizzy, and hurriedly sent him away.

"You must tell me what's going on." Yang Zhengsong knew that there was nothing in the kitchen at home that could nourish his stomach, so he could only do it again, but he was still not at ease, but he couldn't see the outside, and he couldn't do anything if he didn't worry, so he could only find things to divert his attention.
