Chapter 151: Preparations for Escaping the Famine (3)
When he went back, Fugui took the ox cart to his father-in-law's house first, and originally wanted to send some rice and silver, but who knew that as soon as he entered Chenjia Village, the village seemed to have been looted, and there was no one in the village.
Fugui's sister-in-law was worried about the safety of her father, so she hurriedly asked Fugui to run to her mother's house with an ox cart, only to see that the door of her mother's yard was open, and there was no one inside, and the ground was full of jars and jars and rags that could not be taken away.
"Daughter-in-law, they should have left."
Fugui looked at the mess in the yard and said, Fugui's sister-in-law's eyes were red, I don't know if the rice noodles I sent last time were enough, but fortunately, Fugui had the foresight and secretly gave his father and mother a hundred taels of silver.
"Let's go to my sister-in-law's house to have a look, I don't know if they have left."
Fugui turned the ox cart and walked in the direction of Wangjia Village, Fubao's spiritual power was emanated, only to see the chickens and dogs jumping in Wangjia Village, it turned out that they were also ready to escape.
"Dad, mother, hurry up, no matter how slow people are, they will run away." Fu Bao said.
Xiao Hei listened to Fu Bao's words, spread his four hooves and ran away, fortunately Fu Bao reminded him early, otherwise Fugui would have almost fallen off the ox cart.
Wang Ji was very anxious, the village chief informed them last night that they were going to escape the famine today, and he didn't even give him a buffer time, and he couldn't notify his eldest sister.
The eldest girl suddenly shouted: "Dad, Dad, it's Xiao Hei, it's my aunt and uncle." ”
Wang Ji listened to the words of his eldest daughter, and hurriedly looked towards the entrance of the village, and sure enough, a big black cow ran in the direction of his house, this cow is amazing, and he can run so fast.
Xiao Hei came to the door of Wang Ji's house, automatically and consciously stood still, Fugui finally came back to his senses, but when he got off the ox cart, his legs seemed to be a little weak, and the dead cow went crazy.
"Hey, it's Brother Fugui, hey, Sister-in-law Fugui is also here, oops, my little Fubao is also here, why do you look so good." Wang Ji was taken aback when he saw that it was rich and rich.
"My eldest brother and sister-in-law don't have time to come over, let me bring something for you."
Fugui took out three bags from the carriage, including sorghum, white rice and white flour, and some game, and took out a roll of silver tickets from his sleeve pocket, and quietly stuffed them into Wang Ji's hands to avoid people.
"Pay attention to safety, buy a suitable ox cart when you see it, and don't tire your mother and your daughter." The rich sister-in-law took out a big oilcloth and handed it to Wang Ji's daughter-in-law
When Wang Ji's daughter-in-law saw the tarpaulin, the surprise in her eyes showed that she just didn't have time to buy tarpaulin, and she was always worried about the rain or something, but Wang Ji said that she was blindly worried, it was all drought, and it was raining.
In any case, this piece of oilcloth relieved Wang Ji's daughter-in-law's anxiety, and her mood was also stable, watching them leave, and loudly told them to take care.
Wang Ji looked at the eyes around him looking at their grain, his heart tightened, and asked his father to put the grain on the cart, and covered it with oilcloth, as for the silver, he hid it in his sleeve pocket, and he didn't dare to look at it at this time.
Fugui was the first to come home, and saw that Xianghanhe and Xianghanqin were sitting in their own halls, and hurriedly said hello respectfully.
"Big brother, why don't you lend me Xiao Hei, I'm afraid of that big black cow."
Xianghanhe was very happy to learn that his eldest brother was going to lend him an ox cart, he now has grandchildren, he is still young, how can he withstand the long journey.
Fu Bao's spiritual power was emanated, and he communicated with the two cows, but the two cows were unwilling to leave Fu Bao, and Fu Bao could only coax, they were all from the same village, how could they leave.
In the end, Xiao Hei nodded, no way, Da Hei's temperament is too unstable, and if he really falls on other people's children, grandpa will definitely feel guilty.
Xiao Hei followed the Xianghan River back that day, they had to tidy up well, and take away as much as they could.
Xiangchu was a little distressed, took out a bundle of hay from the cowshed, stuffed it into the ox cart, and took care of the Xianghan River repeatedly, but he couldn't be hungry for Xiao Hei, let alone thirsty for Xiao Hei.
Xianghanhe only reacted at this time, the cattle were brought back to be raised, but there was still some water at home, and there was a lot of hay left, so it was still okay to feed the cow.
Ji Xiang and Ping An came back together, and the two carriages were full of things bought, and the most bought was food, of course, there were also oilcloths and Chinese medicine.
Traditional Chinese medicine is auspicious and specially cared for, people outside, a cold into the body, can make people fall, if not treated in time, it is likely to fall seriously ill.
"Jixiang, did your master send food here?" Grandma Xiang asked.
Ji Xiang shook his head, he went to the master's house once today, but the master's family didn't know when he left, and the house was also a mess.
"Xiaocui got married, I guess they left with Xiaocui." Sister-in-law Fugui said that when Xiaocui got married, she also went to add makeup.
Ji Xiang nodded, turned around and went to the yard, and asked the children to move the things out of the carriage, he wanted to finish it a little more, and make sure the carriage was more comfortable.
The sister-in-law and the rich sister-in-law whispered on the side, and when the sister-in-law learned that the rich and wealthy had given food to Wang Ji and a hundred taels of silver, their eyes were red.
Two days later, Jixiang not only finished processing the two carriages, but also made a wooden hairpin with a hidden mechanism for everyone, Xiangchu and others were envious when they saw it, and Jixiang could only promise them to do it again when they were free on the road.
The village chief and the lieutenant chief came to Mr. Xiang's house again, and they had already found out that the nearby villagers had begun to flee one after another, except for a few old people who were too old and unwilling to leave, most of them had already left.
Old Man Xiang asked them where they fled this time, there was drought all around, and they might not even be able to find water.
The lieutenant took out the map that he had finally obtained, pointed to the direction of the south and said, "Let's go south, it's rainy over there, and we won't die of thirst." ”
Jixiang took a look at the map, and walked from them to the south, if the road is smooth, it will be a month at the earliest, but now this form wants to go all the way, it is estimated that it is difficult.
"Village chief, we have to be ready to walk for three months, so we must carefully prepare food, drink, clothing, especially shoes." Auspicious darts have come out of experience.
"Yes, so we decided to give everyone two days, and early in the morning after tomorrow, we will gather at the entrance of the village and leave together when the time comes." The village chief nodded.
"I don't know if I can go with you the day after tomorrow, in case I can't catch up with you first, I'll take my family to catch up." Old Man Xiang hurriedly said.
The village chief glanced at the old man Xiang suspiciously, and just wanted to ask why, but was stopped by the third child, didn't he see that there were two horses in the courtyard of the Xiang family, and the carriage must be faster than them walking.
