After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

The family was busy from the evening until late at night, and fell asleep only when they could no longer bear it.

After a simple breakfast in the morning, everyone went their separate ways according to yesterday's arrangements.

Li continued to work with her daughter-in-law and granddaughter. She also cooked all the eggs that she usually didn't want to eat at home and saved them for eating on the road.

The chicken that was left at home was also killed today. Half of it was fried and the other half was chopped into small pieces and slowly roasted in a pan. I can cook it to replenish my energy on the road.

The water in the water cellar at the back is the most important. It is all put into buckets. The buckets are large buckets specially made by Ye Laoer. They are all equipped with lids so the water will not spill no matter how it shakes on the road.

The small buckets hanging on their bodies were all filled, and everyone carried some of the prepared food. The silver and money were divided into more than ten parts. Of course, the bulk of it was in Li's hands, in case they got separated later and could survive.

All the clothes and quilts at home, both winter and summer, are packed up. I dare not waste any. Who knows if I can get them back in the future, or if they will be taken away by others when I come back.

We don't know when we can settle down after fleeing from famine. If we haven't settled down yet because the weather gets cold, these clothes and quilts will be of great use.

Straw sandals cannot be forgotten either. Old Yetou kept weaving them. The unused wheat straw was also loaded onto the truck and taken away, as the wheat straw could also prevent moisture.

Several people who went out in the morning also came back one after another, "Dad, my little sister will come with us tomorrow. She will pack up at home today and come to our village tomorrow morning to go together." Boss Ye also hopes that his little sister will go with him. He only has this one sister, and he can't bear to not see her for the rest of his life.

"Mom, my uncle's family is also going to flee the famine, but they won't go with us. Their village is also going to leave these two days." Ye Lao San glanced at Li and said cautiously. "If they don't leave together, then don't go together. They are old, and it's their duty to follow their son." Li sighed.

Ye Chenchuan also came back in the afternoon and said that the Zhou family was also fleeing the famine and would go with the Ye family. More people would be a help, and they would also gather at the village entrance the next morning.

I stewed half a pheasant in the evening, and there was enough food. If you want to escape the famine, you must have some strength.

The two rabbits at home have not been killed yet. I plan to kill them in the morning so that everyone can have a good meal.

At midnight, everyone was asleep.

Woohoo~woohoo

Squeak~squeak

Ye Qing was awakened by a burst of squeaking. He leaned sideways and listened carefully. It was the rabbit at home that was calling, and it was probably screaming because it was frightened.

Ye Qing jumped up, fearing that the only meat in the house would be taken away by a weasel.

Ye Qing got up to check, but didn't find any weasels. He turned around and saw a few mice running across the roof, and birds circling and chirping in the sky. Ye Qing's family used to live in an earthquake-prone area, so he was very familiar with this kind of scene.

When a drought lasts a long time, there will be an earthquake. Thinking of this, Ye Qing's pupils dilated. He knocked on the doors of other rooms and said, "Come out quickly, there will be an earthquake. No, it's the earth dragon that is going to turn over."

There was a rustling sound in the room all of a sudden. It was summer, and everyone put on their clothes and ran outside.

Ye Qing didn't have time to explain, and hurriedly took a basin and knocked it in the village, shouting, "The earth dragon is about to turn over, run, the earth dragon is about to turn over."

The whole village was in an uproar. The earth dragon turned over and it could crush people to death. The villagers gathered on the street, looking at everything fine, they all looked confused.

The head of the village also came over and asked hurriedly, "Qingya is confused in her sleep, how can the earth dragon turn over, don't dare to talk nonsense."

"Grandpa Li Zheng, the mice are running around everywhere, my rabbit is restless, and the birds are flying around all night. This is the beginning of a catastrophe." Ye Qing was afraid that the Li Zheng would not believe him, so he said, "Grandpa Li Zheng, please ask someone to go to the well to see if there are bubbles coming out of the well."

"Shuanzi, go to the well and take a look," the head of the village hurriedly ordered.

Shuanzi ran to the well and came back in less than a quarter of an hour, panting and saying, "Village head, there are bubbles in the well. I've never seen such a thing before. It's so scary."

The village head frowned and said to everyone, "It's a bit strange tonight. It's hot now, so everyone should load your things into the car and sleep in the yard for one night. We will leave tomorrow, so go back and pack up."

Everyone dispersed in groups of three or two, and with the attitude of "it's better to believe it than not", they just spread out something in the yard and fell asleep.

Just as I squinted for a while, the entire ground began to tremble, and the earth seemed to be torn apart and lost control in an instant. The house was swaying and the cracks on the road were spreading.

The earthquake was like an angry dragon, rolling back and forth on the ground. Dust flew everywhere, houses began to collapse, and people ran around, screaming and crying.

The earthquake lasted for a few minutes before stopping, but it seemed to those who experienced it that several hours had passed. Anxiety and fear filled everyone's heart, and they began to call for their family members without even checking the situation at home.

The Ye family was no exception. They all rushed out of the yard the moment the earthquake happened. Now everyone was checking the situation one by one. The Ye family was considered to be okay, with only a few children being frightened. The worst injured was Ye Chencong, who fell while running and his arm was swollen.

Ye Qing followed his family around the village, visiting every household to see if there was any way they could help.

Because of the commotion Ye Qing had just caused, no one was already well asleep. Besides, most people chose to sleep in the yard, so the casualties were not too great.

Only the Wang family disliked Ye Qing. They didn't believe in the dragon turning over and continued to sleep in the house.

The Wang family was not sleeping very soundly either. They ran out as soon as they heard any noise. Old lady Wang ran a few steps too slowly and her leg was broken by the fallen beam.

Old lady Wang cursed Ye Qing at home as a disaster star, saying that the earth dragon turning over was caused by Ye Qing's shouting. The earth dragon had not turned over for many years, but as soon as Ye Qing said it, it happened. It was all Ye Qing's fault that this disaster happened.

Only the old lady's children and grandchildren echoed her words. Other families did not believe what she said at all. They preferred to believe that Ye Qing was the lucky star of Kaoshan Village. Without Ye Qing, countless people would have been injured. Now, they only lost some chickens and ducks.

There is nothing we can do about the collapsed house. We were already fleeing from the famine. Now if it is not bad, after they leave, other refugees will move in.

The Ye family has already packed up their belongings and they don’t dare stay near the house for fear of aftershocks.

A group of six or seven cars from the old Ye family started walking towards the village entrance, and decided to rest there and wait for their in-laws to leave together.

Others didn't dare to stay there, so they pushed carts, carried loads, and carried their children towards the village.

It was almost dawn and no one wanted to sleep, so they started cooking early and waited for their relatives and friends to come and go together.
