The patriarch slowed down for a long time, and hesitated: "I'm afraid that my body will drag you down." ”

Jia Yu said with a firm and earnest look in his eyes: "Patriarch, there are not many people in our village who have gone far away, at most they are working in the county seat, visiting relatives and friends in neighboring villages, without your command, and it is such a world, out of the county seat, I am afraid that there will be no one out of ten." ”

The patriarch pursed his lips and pondered, when he was young, he heard the elders talk about the ancients, and he knew that Jia Yu's words were not exaggerated.

"What do you think?"

Jia Yu nodded, "There are indeed some." ”

"Say it."

"There are 210 towns and 2,350 villages in Yanqing County, each with 100 to 200 people, and there are about 450,000 people in one piece. If everyone finds that most of the county officials have left, and most of the gentry and rich households have gone, Yanqing County will be really chaotic, and we will not be able to leave even if we want to. ”

"The most important thing is that it is not safe to follow the large army, if there are hungry and red-eyed people rushing up to rob them, how can these thirteen households in our village, one hundred and fifty people, and more than fifty strong laborers, be able to defeat hundreds or thousands? When we are desperate with them, what if someone takes advantage of the chaos to steal food and take away women and children? ”

It is for this reason that Jia Yu can't just take care of his own family. Two fists are hard to beat four hands, although his martial arts are high, but if dozens or hundreds of refugees rush up, the goal is not to kill people, but to grab food and people, and also rob and run, hiding in the woods and caves to eat and violate, what can he do? There's no point in killing people again.

But if you don't care about the people of the old Zhan family, you just walk away by yourself, and now Jia Yu really can't do it, after all, he occupies the body of the original owner, and the people of the old Zhan family treat the original owner as first-class good, which really makes people have no conscience to do it.

Eh, it's really troublesome, if only I was wearing it this time.

Annoyed, Jia Yu continued to say slowly: "Thinking about it, I think we have to leave as soon as possible, tomorrow, the first to go, to leave the large army behind, only in this way will we be safer." ”

"When we meet soup kitchens, we don't have to compete too much with other refugees to drink; When you get to the town, you may be able to go in and buy food and work as a casual worker; When we get to the place where we can settle down, the court may have any preferential tax exemption policies, but no, we can also give priority to choosing a relatively good one in the villages and towns where we settle. ”

The patriarch nodded in agreement, "Charter." ”

Jia Yu said: "I think that in addition to rice, grain and salt water, the trolley is also indispensable. Nearly one-third of the elderly and children in our village can't travel for a long time, so it would be much better if there was a cart for the whole family. I suggest that all the uncles in the clan help out, at least get a cart for each family, and if you all do it together, I think we can finish it this afternoon. ”

"As for the women and children, the half-grown boy will go and inform his own family, and the rest will clean up the house, make dry food for at least two days, and try not to cook for two days after the departure tomorrow. Patriarch, do you think it's possible? ”

The patriarch pondered the pros and cons for a long time, then nodded, "Not bad." ”

"You go and bang the gong, knock it for a while, stop and knock it again, you know?"

"yes, I understand."

After that, Jia Yu first went to the stove room to bring two bowls of water to the patriarch and the old lady, and persuaded: "Patriarch, you are almost leaving, don't be reluctant to give up the water anymore, drink it quickly, otherwise how can you talk later?" ”

The original owner has no fame at this time, if it is up to him to talk about it, if he doesn't talk about it, the villagers may not believe it too much, so why bother?

The patriarch understood what Jia Yu meant, so he took it and drank it quickly, while the other bowl was carefully fed to the old lady sideways.

"Patriarch, I'll be waiting for you in the barn." Jia Yu took the gong and hammer from the house, greeted him and walked out.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Jia Yu walked around the village with a gong, looking at the foothills of the surrounding mountains and forests from time to time.

There is no way, except for the old and too small in the village, they are basically looking for food in the mountains, if they don't knock at the foot of the mountain, people who enter the mountains and forests may not hear at all.

After about half an hour, the villagers gathered in the barn after putting all the baskets home, and the patriarch said Jia Yu's words more and less.

"Again, I will leave on time tomorrow morning; The rations should be made for two days at a time; If you want to take your relatives and friends with your mother's family, let me know quickly, but don't let me fool around outside, do you hear it. ”

Of the thirteen households in Qianxi Village, except for one family who came to settle with their daughter, the rest were all members of the Zhan clan. And the patriarch is a talent again, and he has been doing it for nearly forty years, and he has taken over the burden from the patriarch's father, so it can be said that his prestige is unmatched in the village.

At this time, the patriarch said something and made a decision, and the villagers had no objections after hearing it.

It's almost noon, and if you don't hurry up, you won't be able to finish the matter, because after everyone disbands, they don't have the heart to talk at all, and they all rush home to pick up their luggage, and it's in full swing.

"Mancang, tell me what the hell is going on, why are you running away?" As soon as Lao Zhan stepped into the house, he hurriedly grabbed Jia Yu and asked worriedly.

The rest of the people also looked at Jia Yu in unison.

Jia Yu said helplessly: "Master, just like the patriarch said, if you don't leave, you can't go." I wanted to say it last night, but it turned out to be wrong. ”

As he spoke, Jia Yu looked at a few small ones and said, "Go, close the courtyard door." ”

The children glanced at each other and hurried to close the door.

The adults in the courtyard looked at Jia Yu's formation, and there was some faint expectation in their hearts.

Li Meihua held her breath and asked cautiously, "Mancang, what's wrong?" ”

Jia Yu glanced at everyone's appearance, the corners of his lips couldn't help but raise slightly, and he looked at Zhan Manliang, the 12-year-old lobby brother of the second uncle Zhan Daming's family, and said, "Manliang, you are optimistic about your younger brothers and sisters, and you are not allowed to let them follow, you know?" ”

Zhan Manliang walked to his third cousin, Zhan Manfu, who had always been the most naughty, and responded, "Got it." ”

Jia Yu looked at the adults in the family, and said mysteriously: "Come to my house and talk." ”

As he spoke, Jia Yu walked towards the north house with Lao Zhan's head in his arms, and the others followed.

Inside, everyone quickly found something behind the door.

"What is this?" Everyone couldn't believe it, and their eyes wandered on Jia Yu's body and materials twice.

"I gave it to my classmates. I was just trying to bring them back last night, and I couldn't stand it and fell. Jia Yu explained with a smile.

Zhan Daliang said suspiciously: "Then why did I see it yesterday, I only saw the chaff you bought for the people in the village." ”

Jia Yu: "I'm afraid that my uncles and aunts will tell us to divide it after I bring it back, so I went to Tibet and got it back quietly after waking up before." ”

Gao Erya stroked Jia Yu's shoulder distressedly, "Does your shoulder hurt?" After a while, my mother will rub you some medicinal wine. ”

Zhan Da Minglang smiled and praised: "Mancang is worthy of being a scholar, and this brain is better than us." Thanks to you running into the city every day, or we will suffer when the chaos arises. ”

As he spoke, Zhan Daming raised his hand and wanted to pat Jia Yu's shoulder, but seeing Jia Yu's small body now, he didn't dare to do it.
