Get the golden finger at the beginning: Enjoy the journey of escaping from the famine

At this time, most of the doors of houses in Sanli Village were closed.

"Who?"

"Ali, come in, are you here to see my grandpa?" The person who opened the door was the village chief's grandson, Shen Jiajun.

"Brother Jiajun, is Fourth Grandpa here?"

Seeing the expression on Shen Li's face, Shen Jiajun stopped talking and took Shen Li into the house.

As soon as she saw Shen Zhenyuan, Shen Li did not delay and said directly: "Fourth Grandpa, there is a piece of news in the town today. Jiangyang County was looted by refugees. They continued to move forward, and I don’t know where their destination is."

Shen Zhenyuan listened and his face became serious. What Ali meant was that there was a high possibility that she would come to their side.

If such a huge Jiangyang County couldn't resist, then what should the people do?

Shen Li looked at Fourth Grandpa's unusually ugly face, and finally said, "Fourth Grandpa, Jiangyang County is only three days away from here, so make a decision as soon as possible."

After Shen Li finished speaking, she went out and drove the mule cart home.

When she met a few young men on the way, Shen Li did not hide anything and told them the truth.

Sanli Village was in an uproar.

"Mom and Dad, pack up your things at home. The refugees have already arrived from Jiangyang County, and the city has suffered heavy losses."

Upon hearing this, the family immediately stopped what they were doing, and without asking any more questions, they went downstairs to pack their things.

Xu Taohua looked at Shen Li, hesitated for a moment, but still didn't say anything.

"Big brother and sister-in-law."

Shen Jingyuan and Xu Taohua stopped and turned to look at Shen Li.

"Brother, the mule cart is outside, go and fetch my sister-in-law's family."

"Ali, my mother-in-law and my younger brother won't be coming."

Shen Li looked at her sister-in-law, whose eyes were red, and sighed, "Sister-in-law, you go with brother, and move quickly."

"Thank you, Ali."

Xu Taohua's voice was choked with sobs. If they really had to flee the famine, she couldn't imagine how her mother and brother would survive.

"Sister-in-law, you are still pregnant, don't get too excited, brother, be careful on the road."

Shen Jingyuan and his wife left on a mule cart, taking their eldest sister-in-law's family with them. Shen Li had thought it over carefully before deciding to do so.

Firstly, their family also has an ox cart, so they won't be too much of a burden. Secondly, although my eldest sister-in-law's mother is not an easy person to deal with, it is very difficult for an orphan and a widow to survive in troubled times, so any help is appreciated.

Just as Shen Li was about to close the gate, she saw two carriages coming towards her house.

Why are you so sure?

Because her family lived at the foot of the mountain.

After a while, the carriage stopped in front of his house. Looking at the servant driving the carriage, he looked familiar for some reason.

But the next second Shen Li knew who it was. A cute little girl with fair skin jumped off the carriage.

"Sister Shen!"

When the coachman put the horse stool in place, a beautiful woman got off the carriage.

At this time, Shopkeeper Hu from the back also came down, "Miss Shen, I came here today to thank you for saving my young lady's life."

Mu Nanzhi and her daughter Jiang Muxue bowed to Shen Li, "Miss Shen, Mu Nanzhi thanks you for saving my life."

Shen Li dodged sideways and said, "I have already received the corresponding compensation, Madam, you are welcome."

Mu Nanzhi shook her head and did not continue the topic. "Miss Shen, you should have heard about Jiangyang County, right?"

Shen Li nodded, "Madam, if you don't mind, come into my humble abode for a cup of tea?"

Mu Nanzhi shook her head, "Miss Shen, the convoy is still waiting outside, so I'll tell you more. Yizhou is about to be in chaos, so it's better to leave as soon as possible."

After saying that, he nodded to Shopkeeper Hu behind him.

Shopkeeper Hu stepped forward and said, "Miss Shen, you brought some thank you gifts."

The servant had already brought down two bags of fine rice. Shen Li looked at the lady in front of her. There was a look of determination and tenderness between her brows. She did not look down on herself because she was a peasant girl.

"In that case, thank you ma'am for your kindness."

After Shen Li finished speaking, she winked at her father and three brothers who came out after hearing the noise, and they also stepped forward to help.

Mu Nanzhi didn't bring a lot of things, just about five 50-jin bags of refined rice, 100 jin of refined flour, four rolls of cotton cloth, fine salt, candies, and snacks.

Mu Nanzhi took Jiang Muxue into the carriage. Jiang Muxue wanted to say a few more words, but frightened by her mother's gaze, she obediently got into the carriage.

Shopkeeper Hu looked at Shen Yuanzhou and said, "Yuanzhou, this place will soon be unsafe. Take your family and evacuate as soon as possible."

After saying that, he hurriedly got on the carriage, and the two carriages headed towards the village entrance.

Other people in the village also noticed that the two carriages went to the Shen family at the foot of the mountain and left soon.

"Fourth brother, go and tell Fourth Grandpa about this. Dad, go to Grandfather's house. Third brother, let's go pack our luggage."

"it is good."

The food at home plus the food sent by Mrs. Mu cannot be pulled by mules alone. The mule we bought before was well taken care of and could pull about 500 kilograms. The one we bought later can only pull 300 kilograms, and we have been feeding it well and taking good care of it these days.

The first thing to pack up is the food and other things in the house, and then the personal belongings.

Shen Li packed a large bag containing her clothes and quilts, and then wrapped it in oilcloth and placed it on the roof of the car.

On the other side, Shen Zhenyuan already knew that two carriages had entered Sanli Village, when he learned the news from Shen Qian'an.

He had been so anxious during this period that several blisters appeared at the corners of his mouth. Now when he heard the news, his eyes suddenly went dark.

"grandfather!"

Shen Jiajun quickly supported his grandfather, because if he fell to the ground, he would definitely get hurt.

"No, it's okay, Jiajun, ask your father to ring the gong and call all the families to gather."

Shen Qian'an took a stool and put it down. Shen Jiajun helped his grandfather sit down, and then went to do what he had asked.

When the sound of the gong rang out in the village, everyone's heart skipped a beat, and the bad feeling in their hearts grew stronger and stronger.

But they still gathered at the door of the village chief's house. Shen Zhenyuan stood at the door, and the villagers soon arrived.

Seeing the serious expression on the village chief's face, everyone subconsciously quieted down.

Shen Zhenyuan looked at the villagers and clansmen in front of him and told them everything about the arrival of the refugees.

The atmosphere fell into an eerie silence, with shock and panic on everyone's faces.

After a while, someone finally spoke: "Chief, what should we do?"

"Yes, there are so many refugees!"

"what should we do?"

Shen Zhenyuan looked at the panicked villagers and coughed twice, "Quiet."

"You are the head of the family. If you are so panicked, what will happen to your wife, children and elders at home?"

After hearing this, everyone suppressed their fear and said, "But Uncle Village Chief, what should we do?"

"Do we have to leave our homeland?"

Shen Zhenyuan said in a serious voice, "If there is a way to survive, who would be willing to leave their hometown?"
