Chapter 7 Do you want to live? The crowd is excited!
"Barrel, are you going to see what's going on outside?"
Wang Dahua gave an order, and the three people in the family took action, Ye Lianzhi threw all four bags of cakes into the kitchen at home, leaving only the burden of dried meat hidden in the quilt.
The jerky is small in size and not easy to find, the cakes are all bigger than the face, eight per person, and it adds up to a large package, and there is a faint smell of wheat flour, so it can only be hidden.
After all, it's a matter of reaching out in the space, and I'm not afraid to put it in.
disappeared as if by magic, Ye Yaozu gave two thumbs up and praised, "Sister, you are really my sister, so powerful!" ”
"It's worthy of being my daughter, it's a pity that a few of us can't understand what it's like to have a golden finger, you can put this water in too, it's not easy to bring!"
Wang Dahua carried a few more bamboo tubes filled with water and handed them over, Ye Lianzhi took them, and disappeared in his hand in the next second.
The leaf barrel goes and returns, explains.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that the village chief summoned everyone to gather, and there may be something to say, but it's less than two hours before we left, I'm afraid it will delay the time to set off, but now that it's gone, everyone will definitely find out, let's go to the ancestral hall first and see what the village chief has to say!"
"The third aunt will definitely pass, let's go and ask the third aunt, in case there is an emergency, let's discuss it together, father, brother, lock the door, let's go over quickly!"
Ye Lianzhi grabbed Wang Dahua's arm as before, Ye Yaozu did the same, grabbed Ye Muke's arm, the two big men pulled and pulled, and Ye Mudao directly pulled him away.
Ye Yaozu pouted, and Ye Wooden Barrel went faster.
"Hahaha!" Ye Lianzhi and Wang Dahua couldn't help laughing, and walked out together, in modern times, both father and mother are only in their early 40s, she is 16, and her younger brother is 14.
Let's cross over, my father has become 42, her mother has become 34, she has become 14, and her brother has become 13, everyone is a lot younger, but it's not much worse.
But the younger brother is a head taller than the modern one, plus after two years of torture, the skin is dark and rough, the clothes are tattered, and the family has not taken a bath for a long time, there is a sour smell, no one can stand such coquettishness.
If they hadn't gotten used to it for so long, I'm afraid they would have smelled it themselves.
Walking out of the house, the smiling face directly became "like a mourning examine" under the reminder of the mother, and the sadness and despair that merged with the rest of the village dragged his weak body to the direction of the ancestral hall in the village.
The ancestral hall in the village enshrines 23 ancestors in the village, spanning 10 generations, and every time there is no major event of life and death, it will never be held.
Now that it opens, Ye Lianzhi has a bold conjecture in his heart......
A few people walked to the door of the ancestral hall and met the third aunt's family, the two sisters and the third uncle of the third aunt's family didn't see them, and walked in directly, and the third aunt came over with them holding a small milk doll.
The four members of the Ye family looked over, and the milk doll in her arms was almost two years old, but it was still a small lump, only about the size of a normal baby of about eight months.
I don't know if I'm asleep or unconscious.
The third aunt's gentle fingers patted on the cloth, lowered her head, and leaned into Ye Lianzhi's ear, "After the village chief finishes, let's discuss it again and tell you that the two of us will stand together!" ”
Ye Lianzhi didn't say anything, just nodded in agreement.
Immediately conveyed in a breathed voice, followed the flow into the ancestral hall, met with the third aunt's family, and stood in the back corner of the line, each family is a big family standing together, and those who are separated will also converge together at this time.
So as soon as the two families stood still, Ye Yintong's family was ready to squeeze over, Ye Lianzhi and the others suddenly looked defensive, fortunately, because everyone was hungry and thirsty, they didn't have the strength to stand all the time, they sat down one after another, and collapsed to the ground, blocking his advance.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they really didn't want to stand with the second uncle's family, it was annoying!
Wang Fugui, the village head, nodded in front, counted the number of people, and sighed, the village of three or four hundred people in the past is now only half of the people left......
This made his thoughts even stronger.
Directly opened his mouth to get down to business, "Folks, do you still believe me as the village chief?" ”
Everyone didn't know why, and they didn't have the strength to speak, but they all nodded in confusion.
Ye Lianzhi knew from memory that Wang Fugui was quite reasonable and ambitious, if it weren't for natural disasters, their Huangsha Village would have always been the richest village within a radius of ten miles.
"Well, today I specially opened the ancestral hall, just for one thing! I just want to ask everyone if they want to live?! ”
Wang Fugui continued, everyone raised their heads violently, and even the people who were paralyzed on the ground opened their eyes wide, everyone licked their mouths, swallowed their saliva, and became excited, their eyes shining with light.
They are guessing!
Ye Lianzhi, Ye Yaozu, Wang Dahua and Ye Mujiao glanced at each other, lowered their heads weakly and did not speak.
The village chief didn't talk nonsense and continued.
"Lao Maozi went to the town and came back, he went to inquire when the government issued a summons order to escape the famine, but he heard that the imperial court had already issued a summons, but because of the war, because we are remote here, those squires and officials colluded, wanting to squeeze us dry and survive us, and now they are almost over, they are also going to run away, so they relaxed their vigilance and leaked the news!"
As soon as these words came out, some people were instantly shocked and burst into tears.
Some people clenched their fists angrily, hating in their hearts.
Some hung their heads and whimpered.
"If, if it weren't for this group of people, there would be so many people in our village...... I'm sure I can get out,, I usually charge more taxes, just forget it, woo woo woo ......"
Everyone felt pain and hatred in their hearts, and Ye Lianzhi didn't dare to raise their heads, and they also sighed, the world is difficult, and the power oppresses it, it's difficult!
"Village Chief, so you mean we're going to start escaping now?" Someone asked, and everyone looked up with tears in their eyes.
"That's right! I think escaping from the famine is the only way out for us, but now that there is war outside, the country is too busy to take care of itself, and there is no recording and designated place for us, so it is unknown whether we can survive if we flee to ...... My idea is to give it a go and hear what everyone thinks! ”
After the village chief finished speaking, everyone had a bottom in their hearts.
The scene was silent for less than a minute, and the boss of the Shen family, one of the Orion families in the village, spoke, "Village Chief, my family wants to escape from the famine, staying here is definitely a death, there is still hope for escaping!" We don't want to wait to die! ”
"Yes, there is no road guide without a road guide, it's a big deal, let's all go to the wilderness to be a mountain village and a wild person, as long as you can live and stutter, it's better than anything else! What does such a court and government want him to do?! ”
