Escape after crossing

He had some surplus food, but not much, and he wanted to help others, but he was unable to do so.

Over the years, I have helped my fellow villagers treat their illnesses. If they have food, I would give them some as medical fees, and not many people gave me money.

Fortunately, most of the herbs were collected by him from the mountains. If one or two herbs were missing, he could only ask the villagers to buy them themselves.

Everyone knows what kind of person Doctor Hu is. Sometimes when he sees that fellow villagers really can't afford a medicine, he will use some free or low-cost herbal medicine as a substitute.

So over the years, Dr. Hu is still very respected in Siyuan Village.

Under normal circumstances, if he just said he needed a cart, there would definitely be a lot of people to help, but at this time, Doctor Hu couldn't say it.

Before Doctor Hu had finished moving out, Jiang Runzhi arrived at the gate of the courtyard leading a donkey cart.

"Doctor Hu, let me help you load the cart." Jiang Runzhi said as he was about to load the things onto the donkey cart.

When Doctor Hu saw that it was Jiang Runzhi, he hurriedly said, "Brother Jiang, why are you here?"

"Haha, Hongyu, that kid, doesn't know how to drive a donkey cart, so I came here." Jiang Runzhi scratched his head and explained.

"Then I'll trouble you, Brother Jiang. There are a lot of things."

"It's okay, Doctor Hu. Luo Luo said that you saved our family's lives when we were in the most difficult time. This is nothing."

Doctor Hu once again praised this family in his heart. The two of them were quick to install the equipment and finished it in a short while.

Doctor Hu closed the door and looked at the place where he had lived for many years, still feeling reluctant to leave.

After taking one last look, he turned around and followed Jiang Runzhi away. When they returned to the Jiang family, Jiang Ziyan and Zhao had already steamed the buns.

Jiang Ziluo and Jiang Hongyu were packing up things in their respective rooms, and Zhao was also packing up things at home.

Just looking at the things in the house, I can’t bear to part with this or that. Isn’t it said that a broken home is worth a fortune?

No matter how poor this family is, it has been a family for more than ten years. As soon as Jiang Runzhi and Doctor Hu entered the courtyard, they heard the village chief's son knocking on a wooden basin.

Let everyone come out and go to the village chief's house to discuss the matter. Jiang Runzhi also came back at that time, and he and Doctor Hu went to the village chief's house again.

When everyone was present, the village chief explained the situation to everyone and asked them to go home and tell their families. Those who wanted to leave could pack up their belongings and gather at the village entrance after lunch.

If you don't want to leave, don't blame others when the time comes. Although there are not many families in a village, there are still different people.

"Village chief, you are not trying to scare us, are you? We all know that General Li has been guarding the border for many years, and his city has never been breached."

As soon as Villager A finished speaking, a few people thought what he said was quite right and nodded.

"Yes, village chief, you are not being deceived, are you? Let's hold on a little longer, maybe it will rain soon."

"Yes, village chief, it rains, and we have hope and expectations. This is where we have lived all our lives, how can we leave?"

"Yes, if we leave, who will burn incense and paper for our ancestors during festivals in the future? I won't leave."

After this person finished speaking, a group of people behind him echoed him, saying "No, no, no."

The village chief motioned them to be quiet, and said, "I know everyone's concerns, but we must first save our own lives and those of our families.

If you have lost your life, what's the point of burning incense and paper for your ancestors? The drought has lasted for so long, and the officials have never cared.

Who knows how long this drought will last? Should we take advantage of the food we still have and find a way to survive with our family?"

When the villagers heard this, those who had just said they would not leave began to waver again. Seeing that no one spoke, the village chief spoke again.

"I know that no one is willing to leave the place where our ancestors have lived for generations.

But everyone has to think about their own future and the future of their children. If you stay here, you will just wait for death. If you go out, maybe you can win some life for your family.

Okay, you all go back and discuss with your families. Meet at the village entrance after lunch, but we won’t wait too long.

Go back quickly, pack up your things, prepare some dry food and water. Let's go!"

After saying these words, the village chief seemed to have aged a little. Seeing that everyone had left, the village chief also urged his family to pack up and prepare things.

When Jiang Runzhi and Doctor Hu returned to the Jiang family, the first pot of steamed buns was ready and the children's things had been packed up.

Jiang Ziyan was preparing to steam the second pot of steamed buns, and Jiang Ziluo said, "Sister, after the steamed buns are done, let's make some pancakes. It will be convenient to eat on the road."

Jiang Ziluo was mainly thinking about the fact that they had to travel later. Although steamed buns were a good food nowadays, they had no oil or salt, and he was afraid that everyone would not be able to bear it.

They have been eating well these past few days. When Jiang Ziluo runs in the yard, the little ones will follow him, but they can only run a few laps and then run away.

Jiang Ziluo did not force them. She knew that children still needed to exercise from an early age, but several of the children were not getting enough nutrition.

She prepared a donkey cart and an ox cart because she was afraid that the child and Zhao Shi could not go far. If you go with the main group, they will not wait for your family.

Jiang Ziyan said, "Lolo, making pancakes takes too much oil, let's just eat steamed buns. Besides, look at everyone's family now, aren't they all eating black flour pancakes? Even if we eat steamed buns, we have to hide them from others."

Jiang Ziluo overlooked this point. At that time, Manager Hong gave her white flour, rice and corn flour. She thought these were common foods and completely forgot that the poor people in the countryside were too poor to afford white flour.

However, Jiang Ziluo still told Jiang Ziyan the truth. She knew that Jiang Ziyan didn't care about everyone's health just for some reasons.

So after explaining what happened, Jiang Ziyan did not stop him, but started kneading the dough again.

Jiang Ziluo sat down and made a fire. Jiang Runzhi, Jiang Hongyu and others were already loading things into the truck, among which the food took up the most space.
