Gu Huanxi was about to take a nap, Xu Huaiyi came back with a solemn face, saw her lying on the kang and asked puzzledly, "Why don't you go into the car and sleep?" How hard is this kang......"

"Let's get used to it first, you can't just point to the RV, it's too dependent, how can we live here?" Gu Huanxi saw that his face was not very good-looking, and he didn't rush to ask, "You go take a shower first, cool off, let's talk about it." ”

Xu Huaiyi nodded, he was really uncomfortable, he flashed into the RV, and about ten minutes later, he came out in big shorts, lying on the kang with her, and the fan was still dangling in his hand.

Gu Huanxi leaned sideways and asked, "Is the situation very bad?" ”

Xu Huaiyi said a depressed "um", and told her in detail what he saw and heard in the town, and finally said worriedly, "Daughter-in-law, I'm afraid that there will be chaos here soon, not only natural disasters, but also man-made disasters, just now I went to the well in the village to take a look, the water level dropped very much, the uncle is also there, I asked him what his plans are, he is still waiting for disaster relief, and he still wants to wait for another three months, three months, is he still leaving?" ”

Gu Huanxi furrowed his brows, "You didn't persuade him?" ”

Xu Huaiyi sighed, "I told him what I heard in the town, but when I looked at him like that, I was skeptical, probably still expecting the imperial court, right?" Anyway, I don't want to leave if I still have a glimmer of hope......"

"This is also understandable, if people leave their hometowns, if they can live, who wants to leave?"

"But this time it's not before, the court has been relieved by the drought a few years ago, that's because the affected area is small, and the court can take care of it, but now? More than a dozen prefectures have been in trouble, such a big hole, can the imperial court fill it? Especially in the northwest, there are still Tartar invasions, and it is said that the collected grain has been sent to the northwest as military rations, how can there be any surplus to care about the life and death of the people? ”

"The sky leaks and it happens to be rainy ......"

"Well, who's to say it's not? It seems that it is more than that, I heard a businessman secretly revealed, it seems that the court is fighting quite fiercely for the establishment of the prince, and he can't care about the next people, the life and death of the people at the bottom, where will those high-ranking nobles care? Why don't you eat minced meat, specially, I didn't expect us to meet it too. ”

Gu Huanxi heard this, and said in a deep voice, "The current emperor is the grandson of the founding emperor, and it is said that he also brought him with him to teach him when he was a child, and he is still a Ming Jun, so he shouldn't be so confused......

Xu Huaiyi snorted, "That's not accurate, maybe Shengming used to be skilled, but now he doesn't have enough brains, isn't there often this kind of plot in TV dramas, when he was young, he was wise and martial, but when he got old, he began to be suspicious, to see which son was a thief, worried about his throne, and finally made a bloody ......" Saying this, he paused, and when he spoke again, his tone was a little solemn, "Daughter-in-law, this kind of thing is too dangerous, we can't get our hands dirty." ”

Gu Huanxi said speechlessly, "Take the heir? Do you really dare to think that kind of high-end game, anyone can get their hands on it? ”

Xu Huaiyi laughed.

After chatting with his daughter-in-law for a while, Xu Huaiyi felt a lot lighter, showed his skills for dinner, made several hard dishes, and ate a beautiful meal for the two of them.

Especially the stewed beef brisket with tomatoes, Gu Huanxi ate two bowls of rice in a row, and her body was poor, she didn't dare to eat and drink at first, for fear that her stomach would not be able to stand it, but now that she has been conditioning for a few days, she has slowly adapted to a lot, and she dares to let go of the tonic, and the effect is naturally obvious, not only the complexion on her face is good-looking, but the place where the meat should grow is also quietly rounded.

She was now moving around the yard, and finally she didn't have to take three more steps to catch her breath.

Walking like a fly, just around the corner.

The next day, before dawn, Gu Huanxi urged Xu Huaiyi to get up, had breakfast, and urged him to go to the county again while it was not so hot.

The county is much farther away than the town, and with just two legs, you have to walk for more than an hour, and you have to eat well these days, otherwise Xu Huaiyi suspects that he will be tired and faint halfway.

When he saw the gate, his legs began to tremble.

The county seat is more lively than the town, and there are people coming and going, but there are no signs of chaos, but many shops are crowded, and only the door of the grain store is crowded with people.

Xu Huaiyi surrounded him, and he didn't need to ask, all kinds of news drilled into his ears.

"Shu millet is thirty wen a pound......"

An exclamation sounded, and someone widened his eyes and asked in disbelief, "How much?" Thirty essays? Wasn't it twenty-five yesterday? ”

Someone immediately rolled his eyes in disdain, "Why don't you say that you were only twenty years before yesterday?" ”

Someone scolded and scolded, "Damn, one price a day, who can afford to eat this?" ”

In the crowd, there are those who have a solid family, so they squeezed out, "If you can't afford to eat, don't come to join in the fun, if you don't buy it now, maybe it will be thirty-five tomorrow." ”

There are also honest, cautious temptations, "What about the beans?" ”

There was an enthusiastic man, who said earnestly, "Twenty beans, fifty wheat, if you still have silver in your hand, hurry up and stock up on it, don't stretch it anymore, look at this day, can there be rain?" If it doesn't rain, there will be no harvest in the field, and if you don't prepare some food, what will you eat and drink in the second half of the year? ”

But the other party patted his thighs and said with a sad face, "Oh, it's so expensive, how can you afford it?" ”

Immediately, there was a lively follow-up, "Hmph, there are still some sold here, you can burn high incense, I heard that the grain shops in some places have long been closed." ”

Hearing this, someone asked in a low voice, "Is it true that the imperial court does not allocate food for relief?" Our county government also has a granary......"

Before he finished speaking, someone next to him poured cold water, "Don't daydream, the grain has been transported to the northwest, you have to eat it closely to the soldiers in front of you first, otherwise how can you fight hungry?" I heard that those Tartars drink blood, if they really want to come in, who of us can end up well? ”

After he finished speaking, most people were not surprised, but the hope in their eyes was shattered, showing a little discouragement, "Alas, but we are also burning our eyebrows here, if we don't help, I don't think we can wait for the Tartars to come in, we will starve to death first." ”

Xu Huaiyi listened for a while, with a simple face, and asked in a daze, "Since the days can't go on, why don't you want to run away quickly?" ”

There was silence for a moment, and then there were various lectures to him.

"Escape from the famine? Do you think escaping the famine is a way to survive? ”

"That's it, where to run away from the famine? More than a dozen prefectures in our vicinity are in trouble, where can we flee and starve to death? It's better to stay at home and stay up for a while, wait for the rain to fall, and slowly it will slow down. ”

"Yes, I'd rather stay at home and starve to death than die on the way to escape the famine, I can only be a lonely ghost, and I can't even bury my ancestral grave, isn't that even worse?"

Xu Huaiyi pursed his lips, "Escaping from the famine is not so terrible, right?" ”

Hearing this, someone immediately lamented, "Escape from the famine, nine out of ten will not exist, isn't this terrible?" It's not that the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and you must not take that road, but that road is to gamble with your life. ”

Xu Huaiyi, "......"
