In fact, they had known about the disaster year a long time ago, but when the disaster year did not really occur, even if they knew it, and even if they convinced the village elders to believe it, the only effect they could achieve was that the village elders believed it and everyone would be anxious together.

Because there is no real situation, it is impossible for them to move away, or even move to other areas and escape.

It is precisely for this reason that Song Sanfu wants to know even more what the situation is in Shierlipu Village.

If the situation in Shierlipu Village is serious and has the effect of spreading to the surrounding areas, and if the signs of a disaster become even more obvious, we can persuade the elders to believe and relocate the entire village at the beginning of the disaster.

Song Suzhu was smart and immediately understood why Song Sanfu asked this question, so he carefully introduced the situation in Shierlipu Village to Song Sanfu one by one.

From the crazy drop in the water levels of rivers and streams, to the lotus fields being left with only silt making it impossible to sow seeds, to the fact that some vegetation in the fields and villages has begun to turn yellow and dry up, the description is as detailed as it can be.

Song Sanfu had also witnessed years of disaster when he was young. Although the time passed a long time ago, some memories cannot be erased with the passage of time.

Listening to his little daughter's description, Song Sanfu smoked his pipe and said nothing for a long time. Then he sighed heavily and said, "I'm afraid there will be a drought!"

Although he had long known from Song Rending's new voice that a disaster year was definitely coming, because every time Song Rending mentioned it, the focus was always on his family, and he did not get more news about the disaster year from the new students.

He had guessed that it would be nothing more than floods and droughts, but what he least wanted was drought.

When the weather is hot and dry, people will suffer not only in the village but also on the way to escape the disaster.

【It was a drought, so dry that we didn’t even have grass roots or tree bark to eat when we were fleeing. But you should flee to the southwest, don’t follow the large group. In the southwest, near Fanxi Academy, there is no sign of a disaster. Protected by Fanxi Academy, that area is quiet and peaceful. If you follow the large group, it will not only be a threat of a disaster, but also riots, riots by ordinary people, and riots by those in the government. In the end, it directly led to an uprising, a mess, and then I, who was the longest-lived person in my family in my previous life, was trampled to death by the horseshoes of the officials! 】

Song Rending's inner voice was filled with a hint of despair.

Song Suzhu continued to follow the sound and tried to find out who the voice belonged to among her family members, but she still couldn't identify the person.

"I'll go find the village chief and go to Shierlipu Village together. The village chief is smart and will definitely call on the tribe to make preparations. Let's prepare at home as well! Prepare as much dry food as possible, and more containers for holding water. Don't worry about spending money. Big brother, you and the second brother go to town and buy an oxcart, preferably one with a shed! When the time comes, the second brother can modify it so that the whole car can be covered and things can be hidden."

After giving some instructions, Song Sanfu went to the village chief's house with his hands behind his back.

Everyone in the family knew what was going on and no one questioned it. Even those who were unable to hear Song Rending's inner thoughts were arranged by their family to completely forget about questioning.

Seeing that everyone was busy, Song Rendong came to Old Lady Song and said:

"Grandma, according to what Grandpa said, don't we have to make some weapons for each of us? I want a smaller bone-chopping knife! It will look majestic when I wield it!"

Old Mrs. Song stared at Song Rending for a while, then nodded and said that they should indeed prepare some for the children as well.

In fact, ever since we knew that a disaster was coming, our family has made a lot of iron knives, sticks and other weapons in the past few years. However, we had never considered letting children hold weapons. The iron bars, hammers, knives and other weapons we made were all made according to adult models, and children could not lift them at all.

Now that Song Rending has brought it up, Old Mrs. Song feels that they had thought too little about it before.

It's been three years, everyone has to escape, who will distinguish between adults and children? When bullying, everyone is bullied equally, so children naturally have to prepare weapons for self-defense.

Seeing that Song Dafu and Song Dazhi had not yet arrived in the town, Old Lady Song dragged them to the room where the machetes, bone-chopping knives and axes were kept, pointed at those things, and asked them to go to the town to get a set suitable for children.

In many cases, adults always think that children are the ones who need protection.

Song Dafu and Song Dazhi were no exception, so even though they agreed to send the old lady off, they still raised doubts:

"It's so unsafe for children to hold this thing. Isn't it better for us adults to protect them with weapons? Children don't know how to control themselves. What if they get hurt?"

In response to their questioning, Old Lady Song slapped each of them in the face.

"Have you forgotten what Dongmei said before? The disaster year is coming, and human nature will become more and more distorted as the disaster becomes more serious. Who will care whether you are an adult or a child? Adults can protect children for a while, but can they take care of them every second? Give them weapons, so that they can protect themselves even when there is chaos and they can't be taken care of!"

After being slapped by Old Lady Song, Song Dafu and Song Dazhi quickly admitted their mistakes and admitted that they had thought too simply before.

All the knives hidden in the house were made by the two brothers from the blacksmith shop when they occasionally went to the town. They knew the specifications and styles they wanted, so they asked their brother-in-law Lin Changchun and hurried to the town.

After they left, Old Lady Song started preparing supplies again.

She hadn't felt that kind of anxiety before, but after listening to what Host Song said about the situation in Shierlipu Village, Old Lady Song always felt that a disaster was not far away.

Previously, Li Taohua made baked noodles, which could be preserved for a long time. Song Rending then guided her to make kudzu root powder, which could also be considered a food.

But all these require water. Now that we know there is a drought, we have to think of ways to store water.

After walking around the room twice, Old Lady Song saw that Li Taohua was busy with Liu Qingguo and several sisters, and she was not needed anywhere, so she simply took Song Rending to the back mountain.

She wanted to cut some bamboo and make some bamboo tubes to store water.

The reason why she brought Song Rending along was because she subconsciously felt that if she brought Song Rending along, maybe Song Rending could bring her some different surprises.
