Chapter 180: Dead Husband, Raising a Child, and Escape from Famine 20
The village was in chaos at this time. The villagers who received the news could only gather at the door of the village chief's house in a panic.
Lin Qing squeezed in with great effort.
Seeing him sweating profusely, the old village chief was stunned for a moment and asked hurriedly: "Qing boy, is there something wrong with your family? Is it that the Qin family is here to cause trouble again?"
Lin Qing didn't waste any time and stated his purpose directly: "I'm here to say goodbye to everyone. My sister and I plan to take the children and leave Dingchuan County and go to Jiangnan."
Boom! These words were like a cartload of firecrackers all exploding, making everyone present, whether they were the elders who were discussing countermeasures in the yard or the villagers who were gathered outside, all dizzy and dazed.
The oldest elder even thought that his time had come and he had to meet his wife. Otherwise, how could he not understand: "Qing boy, what did you say? Did I hear you wrong? You said you were going to take your whole family to escape the famine?"
A pregnant woman with a bunch of burdens doesn’t know how she can survive in this village, but she actually wants to run away. Is she trying to kill herself?
Lin Qing's face was full of black lines. Why did this sound so harsh? This was at best called migration. How could it be considered fleeing from famine?
But at this critical juncture, there is indeed some of that flavor in it.
"Aren't uncles always curious about why we bought two ox carts? We bought them just for today. We are all family in the village, so I told you the truth."
He paused before continuing, "Everyone knows what the court is like now. It's only a matter of time before the barbarians break through. We are only one city away from the border. It won't take them 10 days to attack. It's only a matter of time before Dingchuan County is captured."
A young man who looked about the same age as the village chief and was standing next to him interrupted:
"Ah Qing is right. Our information is already behind the times. The news I got is that the barbarians broke through the border and entered the territory of Southern Liang three days ago. This time they are so powerful that I think they can reach our Dingchuan County in less than five days."
This boy is Xiao Tiedan’s brother, Lei Zi, who works as an apprentice in a blacksmith shop in the city. As soon as he heard the news, he dropped his work and rushed back.
Perhaps it was because he had more dealings with yamen runners, knights and the like in the city, and his knowledge was slightly better than that of the average farm boy. His original plan was to take his family and flee to another place to seek refuge.
Judging from the implied meaning in the words of the officers, even the county magistrate who came from a noble family in the south of the Yangtze River said that the north could not be defended. What was he, a common citizen, still dreaming of something great?
As soon as these words were spoken, it was as if two trucks of firecrackers were lit at the scene, and all the villagers were shocked.
There were howling and screaming sounds everywhere, and the timid ones even fainted from fright.
The old village chief pinched his aching temples and shouted to the people outside the yard: "Shut up and listen to me. Go back and pack your things now. We will leave Dingchuan County at dawn."
Seeing that the villagers were all standing there in a daze, the old village chief yelled again, "Leave on time at Yinshi. I won't wait for anyone this time. Hurry up and go."
Oh~ Everyone just reacted then and turned around and ran home in a hurry. It was already afternoon now. Not only did they have to take care of the animals, but they also had to kill the chickens, ducks and pigs, and there were also many vegetables in the fields that had to be picked. If they were late, they would not be able to take them away.
Lei Zi also bowed to the village chief, carried the oldest old man on his back and left. When passing by Lin Qing, he nodded to him. The two of them had a good relationship, but now was not the time to reminisce. He should hurry back and clean up the mess at home.
The old village chief also set his sights on Lin Qing: "Qing boy, wait until tomorrow at 3:00 pm to go with us. There are many people in the village, so they can take care of you better."
Lin Qing knew that the village chief meant well. After all, in the eyes of normal people, he was the only strong man in their family.
The others are either pregnant women or have children. Who would believe them if they say they don’t need anyone to take care of them?
He scratched his head with a silly smile: "Then I'll go back and tell my sister." The main thing is that what he says doesn't count.
......
Lin Sheng was indeed reluctant to go with the villagers. She didn't even want to take those at home with her, let alone so many people. It would be obvious that they would hold her back!
But when I think about how the people of Linjia Village have been very kind to my family, and how they are still thinking of taking care of them at this time when they are in a hurry to escape, wouldn’t it be a bad idea to just abandon the villagers and run away?
Just when she was undecided, Doctor Liu, who had been ignored for a long time, came back again.
This time he did not come alone, but brought three carriages.
Before the carriage stopped, a pretty girl jumped down from it and called out in a crisp voice: "Brother Qing~~" The sugar content is at least a few plus signs.
Seeing that the girl had a headache, Lin Qing subconsciously stepped back a few steps before bowing to her and saying, "Miss Liu, long time no see."
Liu Xiuying took two steps forward gracefully, with a sweeter smile on her face: "Brother Qing, why don't you come to the city to see me? Xiuying is looking forward to seeing you every day."
Before Lin Qing could speak, Doctor Liu came over with a dark face. He did not get angry at his granddaughter, but only scolded the servant next to him:
"How did you take care of the young lady? You forgot what I said before, right? Each of you will be beaten with 10 sticks. Remember it and we will beat them together when we get to a safe place."
Liu Xiuying's wet nurse and two maids knelt on the ground without begging for mercy. They knew the master's character and knew that if they said too much, the punishment would be more severe.
Liu Xiuying was about to cry. She bit her lip and looked at Doctor Liu aggrievedly: "Grandpa, it's not their fault. Please forgive them this time."
Doctor Liu simply said expressionlessly: "Add 10 strokes of the cane."
Liu Xiuying was so frightened that she dared not say a word. She returned to the carriage obediently without anyone's help.
Oh my god~ Lin Sheng was completely overwhelmed. This further confirmed her guess that this old guy must be a tough guy. She was just a poor commoner, so it was better for her to have less dealings with him.
When Doctor Liu looked at Lin Sheng and her brother, his expression changed again. He looked so amiable that people who didn't know him would think he was their grandfather. "Well, Madam Lin, can we discuss the 10 taels of silver I mentioned at noon? It's just a piece of cake for you."
If he couldn't see that this woman had the final say in this family, then he would have worked in the palace for nothing for so many years.
