On the way to escape famine, my parents divorced

Chapter 78 Empty Liujiatun

Chapter 78 Empty Liujiatun (asking for monthly tickets~)

(Thanks to Ye Mingzhu for voting for 2 monthly tickets.)
Li Shiyue didn't think that Li Youfu disagreed to let Li Shiyang set up a separate household for this reason, but in the end it was obvious that Li Youfu couldn't get away from Li Shiyang, so Li Shiyang still set up a separate household for himself.

After Qin Tao's family settled down, the ding-dong-ding sound started to ring in Li Shiyue's mind again.

“Congratulations to the host for completing the long-term mission and receiving the super gift package!
Please keep up the good work, host, and become a favorite concubine soon!"

Li Shiyue's expression changed again and again, from happy to dark, in just a moment.

“This originally sounded like a big gift package, and I was quite happy about it;

Then they talked about some rubbish concubine, which made me not even bother to click and see what the gift package was."

However, Li Shiyue did not have the opportunity to see any big gift packages at this moment. After settling down, the constable called everyone to get on the donkey cart. It seemed that he was going to send everyone to Liujiatun.

Without even entering the town, Li Shiyue and his companions followed the constable and headed towards Dahei Mountain.

Although we came from a different direction, we were heading towards Dahei Mountain. I asked the constable on the way and found out that Liujiatun was indeed at the foot of Dahei Mountain. Sanshan County was much farther away.

Little did they know that they had already walked for half the afternoon and it was almost dark. Li Shiyue already felt that he was about to have hypoglycemia when they arrived at Liujiatun.

With the last ray of daylight, Li Shiyue looked up at the three words "Liujiatun" written on the wooden archway, whose paint had peeled and was in a mottled state. She then looked towards the small village behind the archway and felt that something was wrong.

"There are still some in Liujiatun now," the constable turned around and asked the old man who came out holding an oil lamp, "My lord, there are less than ten households left now."

The constable nodded and said, "Yes, this is Mr. Liu, an old man from Liujiatun. Your Lijia Village has the largest population, so you should rest and recuperate in Liujiatun from now on.

The land surveyor will be here in about three to five days. You can take a few days' rest first. Don't worry, the land will be divided up."

After the constable said this, without waiting for Li Youfu and Li Shiyang to say anything, he bowed to the few people, got on the donkey cart, whipped the cart and drove away.

Looking at that situation, it really seems like they are "fleeing in panic", which makes people feel even more uneasy.

Li Shiyue stepped forward and bowed to the old man Liu: "I am new here and I am unfamiliar with the place. Old man, what's going on in our village?
It's dinner time, why is there no smell of fireworks in every house? "

Yes!

At this time, it should be time for dinner and cooking. It is okay that there are no children on the roadside at the entrance of the village, but why is there not even a trace of smoke rising when it should be time for every household to light a fire and cook?

"Alas," the old man sighed to Li Shiyue, and Li Shiyang also bowed and asked, "Old man, we are here to escape famine, and today we have settled in your village. I hope you can tell me the truth."

"Grandpa? Grandpa?"

Before the father-in-law could reply, a child's voice came over from a distance, calling "Grandpa". When the child came closer, everyone realized that this must be the father-in-law's granddaughter.

"Everyone, please follow me first."

The old man, walking with a staggering gait, led the way with a little boy holding an oil lamp in front of them. After entering the village, the feeling of desolation became even more obvious.

Not to mention Li Shiyue, everyone else in Lijia Village also had eyes.

"Is this not possible? Did something happen to you?"

"What? Is it true that no one is making a fire to cook?"

“But it doesn’t look like a disaster, does it?

I see the water level of the river we came from is quite high, and we are at the foot of the mountain, so how can we be short of water?"

"So? What happened?"

Li Shiyue followed behind and looked at both sides of the road leading to the village entrance. There were mud houses everywhere, but they were all closed and there was not a single light coming through.

Either these mud houses are uninhabited, or someone is living in them but they are not at home at the moment?
After walking inside for a while, I saw a place with lights on.

Sure enough, Mr. Liu also led everyone towards the light.

"Everyone, please don't be polite. This is the old man's home. Come in and have a drink of water."

The yard was quite large. Li Shiyue saw that vegetables were planted in rows in the northeast corner of the large yard.

Li Shiyang shouted to everyone in Lijia Village to find a place to sit in the yard. Since they had all been traveling a long way, they didn't care about sitting on stools or anything, so they just sat on the ground.

Even if I just want to sit on a stool, there aren't enough at Liu Laozhang's house.

"Grandma, grandma, grandpa is back, and he brought so many people with him."

The child said this as he ran towards the kitchen. After a while, an old woman with a hunched back came out holding a gourd filled with hot water.

Liu Laozhang took the gourd filled with water and turned to introduce to everyone: "This is the old man's wife." Liu Laozhang saw the little girl following behind the old woman, holding three or four pottery bowls, and said: "This is Li Zi, my granddaughter."

There were definitely not enough bowls in Liu Laozhang's house, but everyone had fled all the way here, so they had quite a few bowls and chopsticks.

Li Shiyue held her bowl and blew on it while drinking. She was really thirsty.

Suddenly, Mr. Liu coughed lightly: "Cough, cough." The old woman quickly reached out and patted Mr. Liu on the back.

After Mr. Liu calmed down, he smiled helplessly at Li Shiyang who was closest to him, and then he slowly said: "There were about thirty households in our Liujiatun earlier, and more than a hundred people came.

We live near the Dahei Mountain and can always get something to eat.

Although it is at the foot of the mountain, as long as we are on guard against some wild animals coming down the mountain, this Gada is not very far from the town and is also a good place.

but,"

Li Shiyue sighed inwardly, "Sure enough, there is a but!"

"The Mohe people from the Dahei Mountain came. They crossed the mountain and came directly to kill us, stealing food, women and children. In that one time, more than half of our village died.

Later, the town officials sent soldiers to search the mountain, and they actually found a few Mohe barbarians.

The officials hung up the barbarians who could speak Chinese and beat them for a day and a night. They then found out that the grasslands on the barbarians' side were dry, no grass grew, and they could not raise cattle and sheep, so they crossed the mountains and rivers to rob us.

The officials took all the Mohe barbarians away, leaving us to bury our relatives and clean up the house.

But who knew that once the soldiers left, the Mohe barbarians hiding in the mountains would come down to cause trouble again."

When talking about this, Old Man Liu lowered his head and spoke in a low voice. Li Shiyue and the others who heard these words looked at each other, and they all understood why this place needed refugees.

Because all the indigenous people were killed!
After a pause, Mr. Liu continued, "Some died, some fled, and the few remaining families all went to Qingsong Town. Only my wife, I, and my chestnuts are left in this village."

After saying this, Mr. Liu raised his hand and patted the top of the head of the little girl standing on his knees.

"Li Zi's parents were killed by the barbarians. That day my wife and I carried firewood and chestnuts to the town to sell, and that's how we escaped."

As soon as Mr. Liu finished speaking, the people in Lijia Village started talking in a buzz.
