The ancestral jade pendant is actually a space, so you don't need to panic when fleeing from fa

"Luckily, we still have some time to react. We should buy food while we still have money. We should dig up as many wild vegetables as we can, dry them and store them.

Otherwise, when you really reach the end of your rope, you will be completely in the dark and know nothing!"

Village chief He Qiang analyzed the situation earnestly. After all, it was not the final step yet and people could not lose their spirits.

After listening to the village chief's speech, everyone felt reassured. The village chief was right. We should not scare ourselves. Even if the drought becomes serious and there are refugees everywhere, as long as we don't make trouble, there won't be any big problems.

After that, everyone went home to discuss with their families.

After seeing her second sister go out, Yu Qingqing flashed back into the space. To her surprise, the seeds had sprouted and were growing well.

"Oh my god! Is this growing so fast? The leaves are as tall as my palm. Hey! The white seeds look like white radish! The red ones look like a tree, but I don't know what kind of tree it is! Uh! The green ones are actually grass? Could they be some kind of magic grass?"

With a head full of questions, Yu Qingqing walked around the vegetables planted in the space for several times.

"Who cares what it is? As long as it is useful."

Yu Qingqing began to comfort herself again.

"Husband, you're back! What did the village chief say? What happened?" Seeing her husband's sad face, Hua Qinglu asked worriedly.

"My lady, things are a little complicated.

"Should we call the children over and let them know?" Yu Qingshu himself couldn't make up his mind and said to Hua Qinglu.

"Okay, husband, I'll go call them. Qingqing, Qingmei, Xiaoji, come out for a moment." Hua Qinglu stood in the yard and shouted into the house.

In fact, the rooms in Yu Qingqing's house are all adjacent to each other in a circle. If you stand in the yard and shout loudly, the people inside can hear it.

"Hey, it's so late! Is my mother calling me out?" Yu Qingqing was just finishing planting the remaining 21 seeds in the space. She divided the area according to the previous location and started planting.

Hearing this, he muttered something in his heart and immediately flashed out of the space.

"Squeak!" The door opened and Yu Qingqing, Yu Qingmei and Yu Qingji came out one after another. They saw their parents talking in the yard.

"Qing'er! Come here quickly!" Yu Qingshu said a little anxiously.

"The village chief called us to a meeting, saying that there might be a drought or something like that. Villagers gradually discovered that there were no birds left under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village.

The water level of the river in the middle of the village has also dropped a bit, and the water levels of many wells in the village, including ours, have also dropped. There are also fewer and fewer prey in the mountains, the grass is withering and the air is getting more stuffy recently.

These phenomena may be warning signs of drought. No one can predict how long it will last. And the imperial court is probably unreliable. After all, people have to wait for food, but God won't wait for anyone! I'm afraid that life will not be easy in the future, and Dad will work hard for the future.

But this is a natural disaster after all. There may be a lot of refugees, and people will not have enough food or warm clothes everywhere.

Daddy is fine, but your mother is weak and not strong enough. I am really worried! It seems that we have to go to the town as soon as possible to call your eldest brother back."

With a worried look on his face, Yu Qingshu patiently analyzed with his wife and children what might happen in the future.

"Dad means there will be a drought, right? What did the village chief say?"

Yu Qingqing asked seriously, it didn't seem that simple. She had read some historical materials before, and was familiar with some natural and man-made disasters. If there really was a natural disaster, it really couldn't be ignored.

"I guess he has to flee from famine and find a way out."

After Yu Qingshu finished speaking, he looked at Hua Qinglu's expression and felt relieved when he saw that there was no change.

"But the village chief also said that the current situation is not the worst, and there is at least a month of reaction time. The water in the well can probably last that long, but the rising food prices are a bit troublesome.

Our family has to start preparing. I have decided to go to the forest tomorrow and spend the night there to see if I can get more prey. We should hurry up and buy some food, otherwise it may be difficult to buy food later."

Yu Qingshu paced back and forth in the yard, and after he finished speaking, he looked at his two precious daughters and wife.

"Husband, don't be anxious. Didn't the village chief say that there is still a month? The village chief will not abandon us."

Hua Qinglu looked at her anxious husband and comforted him softly.

"Yes, Daddy! I'll embroider some more handkerchiefs these days, and you can take them to town to exchange for silver and buy food."

Yu Qingmei helped Yu Qingshu sit on the round wooden stool next to them.

Yu Qingqing looked at her family's anxious expressions. Although they were not particularly panicked, they were obviously still worried about what would happen next. She was considering whether to confess to her family and whether she should take this opportunity to say that she knew about medicinal herbs.

It just so happens that I can go to the forest tomorrow to look for medicinal herbs to sell and buy food. If I really want to stock up on food, I'm afraid I can't buy much by hunting and embroidering handkerchiefs! Am I going to starve to death instead of taking out the things that can save my life?

Here, the Yu family was discussing preparations before fleeing the famine. Some people at the dam had not left yet and were still queuing up to register to buy food.

The village chief said that buying together would avoid any trouble and save a lot of time. Those who have money can register and buy first. Those who don't have money should quickly find ways to save money.

Village chief He Qiang planned to organize a few people to buy food together and then distribute it according to the money they paid. Since everyone knew that the price of food had increased, they would definitely feel at ease if they had it in their own hands!

“Okay, there are a total of forty-three households. If you need to buy food or have not registered, please remember to come to my house to find me.

Tomorrow morning before the hour of Mao, the twenty or so people I have arranged just now, remember to gather at the door of my house at that time. If you have ox carts at home, you can catch them, it will be faster. Prepare the bags for food."

After saying this, Village Chief He Qiang also went home. I am old now, and I feel uncomfortable after staying here for so long.

Yu Qingqing hesitated for a moment, and felt that she couldn't wait any longer. She couldn't think of a way to get the things in the space out for the time being. But she could tell him about the medical book, saying that she found it in the pit where she fell into.

If they believe it, then we can go with them to the forest tomorrow to see if there are any medicinal herbs.

Yu Qingqing turned around and looked at her parents.
