299. Meet an acquaintance again

"I was about to tell you," Village Chief Wang said.

"The official uniform gave two plans, one can be bought with silver as you said, but you also know that this disaster came too suddenly, many people have no preparation at all, and it is indeed difficult to buy it with silver, and the county lord gave another way is to compensate with force."

"Compensating with force?" The old man was surprised again.

"Yes, substitution by force, that is, even if there is no money, you can receive seeds, but you need one person from each household to replace the money for seeds with your own labor, and for ten days, each household can receive five liters."

Hearing this, the old man with his mouth slightly open was really impressed by this county lord from the bottom of his heart.

If you had any thoughts before, you really think that this is such a good official who loves the people.

Shanggu Town is not big, it is not small, there are dozens of large and small villages combined, and there are tens of thousands of people.

Even if this disaster left many people not alive, Hua Laohan still believes that there will be no fewer people who will survive.

It really takes a lot of food to go down from house to house, which shows that this adult is really bothered, and it is also a real skill to be able to get it.

Five liters of grain is not too much and not too little, planting three acres of land is not a problem, and it is a lot when harvesting, and the family can last for a year or two years if they save a little mixed with wild vegetables and vegetables to eat half full.

"This method is good," Hua Lao Han couldn't help but sigh.

It can be said that it kills several birds with one stone, so that the common people have hope, not to mention, they can also get free labor.

"Who says it's not, Lord County's move can be regarded as a solution to the current predicament of our people, otherwise I really don't know how to live in the next few days."

Village Chief Wang echoed, and he was also sincerely grateful to this county lord.

"I understand, I'm relieved to know that you, this old guy, are still alive, hurry back, and there will be hope for planting food as soon as possible."

"Who's to say it isn't? Anyway, you're still there, how dare I go! Village Chief Wang also teased happily, he was very happy to see the old man.

The old man's answer was to pat the old man on the shoulder again.

"As you said, it's really time to go, you can go to our Wangjia Village when you have time, there is nothing to eat, but a bowl of wild vegetable porridge will definitely be there."

At this time, it was already considered a good life to be able to drink porridge with wild vegetables, so Village Chief Wang didn't feel shabby at all.

However, the wealth is not exposed, and when he said this, he was almost attached to the ears of the old man, and at this time, who had a little bit of food that was not tightly covered.

Hua Laohan laughed: "Okay, if you have the chance, you must go, you have to take care more, now you can't resist the old year, you can't work too hard." ”

"Okay, let's take care." Village Chief Wang was a little reluctant to look at the old man, and also patted the old man on the shoulder and shouted that the villagers were ready to leave.

"Brother Wang......" looked at the people who turned to leave, thinking of the disaster that would occur in a few months, the old man still couldn't bear it after all.

Village Chief Wang turned his head.

"As a brother for many years, it is still necessary to remind you that we still can't take this situation lightly, in addition to growing grain and vegetables, we still have to make more preparations, especially now that wild vegetables are abundant, dig more and dry them in case of emergency, and water must be stored more, remember my words and store more water."

"Thank you, brother, I'll definitely write it down." Village Chief Wang nodded solemnly.

In fact, Hua Laohan was prepared for this even if he didn't remind him.

At the moment, it looks normal, but after a year and a half of darkness, hunger, and death, as long as it is a person, it will subconsciously become food.

But this heart is to be thanked, but why did this old guy specifically remind him to save more water, the village chief turned around in his heart and put the water in his heart.

"Okay, I won't say much, let's go back quickly." Glancing at the people looking on the side of the road, the old man waved his hand.

They are all in groups, but it is clear that Wangjia Village has the most people, so there should be no need to worry about safety.

"Master, let's go too" Seeing that the people had already left, Hua Jin pulled Xiao Si over.

"Go" saw that the old man of the former brother Hua was in a very good mood, nodded, took the lead in taking the lead, and the others hurriedly followed.

Such a group of people who look strong with things on their backs and don't lack much food and drink are really the target of attention.

In fact...... It's really caught the attention of some people.

As soon as the group left, a few people who had been resting under a tree across the road stood up, their eyes fixed on their departing backs, and there was a look called greed in their eyes.

As she walked, Hua Jin couldn't help frowning, and turned her head to look behind her.

Their gaze was very disliked, and it made her feel very bad, with an annoying smell on their bodies, and a pair of eyes more like wolves staring at their prey.

Hua Jin squinted, these people are obviously not a good thing, but don't do it in their hands, otherwise...... Hua Jin's eyes were cold, and a cold light flashed.

A few people who didn't know that they had been recognized looked at it for a while, until the figure became more and more blurred, and they turned their heads away, with excitement in their eyes.

It looks like a fat sheep, and its strong body is not short of food at a glance, or it is like them...... There are special grain reserves.

…… If they could all stay, they wouldn't have to worry for a long time to come.

No one on Hua Laohan's side knew that they were being targeted, except for Hua Jin, and they were still targeted as reserve food.

The rest of the journey was smooth, and an hour later, I saw the afterimage of Shanggu Town from a distance.

Although it is much better than the villages you see on the road, and many of the houses have been repaired, there are still too many dilapidated houses with only four walls left in the town, which cannot hide that this is a desolate and dilapidated town.

As we get closer, there are more and more people, most of them in a hurry, while others are busy cleaning or repairing the house.

The old man knew that they should have received the seeds and repaid them with labor.

But it was useful, the town was at least not a mess, and the roads were cleaned of mud and debris, revealing the original gravel roads.

There were also quite a few people who rushed to the town like them, apparently in a hurry to get the seeds.

At this moment, the mood of the big guy is the same, and even the vigilance has been lowered a lot, at least it is not like the exaggerated distance between people on the road.

Hua Laohan dragged a child with one hand uneasily, and the group followed the crowd like the official residence in the deepest part of the town.

Along the way, the big guy looked at the ancient town of Shanggu that was so lively in the past, but now it has become a lifeless appearance, and to be honest, it is really uncomfortable to see this.

However, as the village chief Wang said, except for the people who repaired it, none of the shops in the town that were still intact were open, and they couldn't find a place to buy them even if they wanted to. ”

"Flower ......"

Suddenly, a surprised, slightly hoarse but unusually good-sounding male voice suddenly sounded, attracting the attention of Hua Laohan and his party.

In particular, Hua Jin always felt that the voice was very familiar, and looked for the sound, only to see a dark young man jumping down from the top of the renovated house, looking at her in surprise.
