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

"That's right, Erniu, just speak up, we are all listening." Others followed suit.

"Okay, this is what happened. Everyone should know what happened last night. There are refugees coming into the village.

Although the casualties were not great, it did cause a lot of panic.

After I sent the person away this morning, I gave the hundred coins that the village chief gave me to the official on duty in the yamen and asked for some news.

I used to be on duty in the town, but now my boss has gone back to his hometown.

As you all know, food prices have been rising recently. In addition, refugees have begun to appear, and I believe you all know that this is because there has been famine in other places.

Some people may not believe it and think it is alarmist.

But today I asked the officials again, and it is true that there were disasters in some places, and the court concealed it because it was afraid of causing panic among the people.

The official also told me about the situation in other villages last night, the most serious of which was in a village called "Hucheng Village".

What happened in "Hucheng Village"? Some people started to pay attention after hearing about it, including Yu Qingshu. Isn't his father-in-law from Hucheng Village?

I've been so busy these days that I haven't had time to go there. Could something really have happened?

Huang Erniu paused and continued.

"The official said that more than a hundred refugees went to the village to look for food last night, and they were organized. Basically more than 80% of them were armed."

"And the head of Hucheng Village is called Gou Ersheng. He likes to take advantage of others. This time, when the village was in trouble, he was the first to run away, not caring about the lives of the villagers.

It can be said that most of the troubles in the village were caused by his bad habit of taking advantage of others.

The thing is, initially the refugees only sent a woman to inquire about the situation in the village.

The woman was quite pretty and wore the same clothes as an ordinary person, so she didn't look like a refugee.

The woman came to "Hucheng Village" and after asking, she went directly to the village chief's house. The woman said that she came to look for relatives, but her relatives had moved away.

It’s not safe for me to go looking for someone by myself, so I just want to find a place to live in Hucheng Village first.

As the topic went on, it started to go off track. The woman asked about various situations in the village in a roundabout way. The village chief saw that the other woman was pretty, and his wife was not at home, so he immediately had some thoughts that he shouldn't have.

So he would answer every question the woman asked, telling her everything he knew.

In order to gain his trust, the woman naturally gave him some monetary benefits.

Later, when the woman saw that she had almost finished her investigation, she started to make excuses to go back.

Gou Ersheng looked at the woman's back, and his heart was filled with emotion. He also promised that the woman could come to him if she had any problems.

The woman walked around the village and then went back. When others saw her coming out of the village chief's house, they thought she was the village chief's relative and naturally didn't take it seriously.

Then that night, at midnight, led by the woman, they successfully sneaked into the village.

By the time the villagers reacted, it was too late. The men in the village naturally couldn't bear to watch being robbed, but they were powerless.

In the end, they were defeated. Some young women in the village also fell victim to the murder of the refugees.

Gou Ersheng saw that something was not right, and thinking about what the woman had asked him about the village today, he suddenly felt uneasy, so he took his family and ran away in advance.

Although the people of Hucheng Village quickly reported the incident to the government, the losses in Hucheng Village were relatively severe, with food lost and people injured. Therefore, the mayor also took the incident very seriously.

After Huang Erniu finished speaking, people began to cry. Some people were anxious to go back and wanted to go to Hucheng Village to check the situation.

After Huang Erniu finished speaking, Village Chief He Qiang continued.

“As everyone knows, this is not just a drought problem, but the refugees have affected our normal lives.

So I decided that we would flee the famine in three days. I have looked at the map, and we will go to Dong Yu, the "His Royal Highness Prince Chen".

It is relatively close to us and is not prone to disasters. The resources there are very rich, but there are occasionally wild beasts.

But as long as you don't run around and don't go to places you shouldn't go, there won't be any problem.

I called you all here today, firstly to let you know how serious the current situation is, and secondly to tell you about this matter.

But if you don't want to go, or want to stay with relatives, that's fine. I will arrange for someone to keep watch at the entrance of the village these days.

Of course, the night watch was not in vain. Our village had previously collected some of the food and gave it to the night watchers. Each person was given 10 kilograms of brown rice and 2 kilograms of corn per day.

Huang Erniu temporarily arranged the people to keep watch, and those who were running out of food at home would be considered first.

The person who keeps watch must be a male over the age of sixteen. If you want to keep watch, you can go and sign up with him.

But not everyone can use it. You need to have some skills, such as being strong and being able to use fists and feet.

After all, if we really have to confront the refugees head-on, people could die if we are not careful.

Those who come to watch the night are volunteers, and if something happens, the village will provide subsidies and report it to the government.

In addition, the remaining food from the village will be packed up for use on the road to escape the famine. We will gather at the entrance of the village at noon three days later, and those who want to go should go early.

If everyone is fine, then go back first. If you want to escape the famine with the village, remember to prepare well and don't take anything that you shouldn't take.

After saying this, Village Chief He Qiang followed the others and went home one after another.

When Yu Qingshu heard about "Hucheng Village", he became very anxious, so he hurried home.

"My dear, I'm back." Yu Qingshu was already calling Hua Qinglu before he even reached the door.

"Husband, you're back. Why do you not look so good? What happened? Are you feeling unwell?"

Hua Qinglu came and opened the door, then helped Yu Qingshu back into the house.

Yu Qingshu thought about it for a while and decided to first tell his wife about the situation in the village where his father-in-law and mother-in-law lived.

"My dear, I told you not to worry, this has something to do with my father-in-law and mother-in-law.

It's like this, Huang Erniu said that refugees attacked Hucheng Village last night, and the situation inside Hucheng Village is not very good.

Food was stolen, some people were injured, but I don’t know the details.”

After Yu Qingshu finished speaking, he saw Hua Qinglu's face turn pale.

"Madam, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me"!

"No, I'm going to go find my parents, no. They must be fine."

Hua Qinglu's mind went blank after hearing this. He kept talking about looking for his parents and ignored Yu Qingshu.

"No, we don't know the situation yet. Nothing will happen, don't worry."

After a long period of comfort, Hua Qinglu finally calmed down. At this moment, Yu Qingqing and Yu Qingmei also heard the noise and came to their parents' room.
