Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

I woke up early the next day.

Because she was still thinking about something, Zhao Yuanzhen asked her eldest and second daughters-in-law to cook, and then went to the old house to tell her father-in-law about the Jin people's entry into the pass.

When she went over, the old man was having dinner. Sun Zhang saw her coming and asked her

"Second brother, have you eaten? What's the matter with you coming so early?"

"Mom, I came to talk to you and my dad about something. You guys eat first, I'll be here later."

The old lady and the old man didn't say anything when they heard her say that, but they nodded, but they ate much faster.

The meal was finished in a short while, mainly because it was a drought and there was not much food. Each person had a bowl of wild vegetable porridge, which was finished in just a few bites.

The father-in-law walked into the east room first, which was where the old man and the young old lady usually lived. Then Sun Zhang also walked in, and Zhao Yuanzhen followed.

"You're so mysterious this morning, I don't know what you have to say..."

Sister-in-law Wu Erping muttered

After entering the house, Zhao Yuanzhen closed the door. The old man saw him close the door and motioned for her to speak.

"The escort who delivered the letter yesterday said that the Jin army would break through the border in 10 days at the shortest and half a month at the longest. I want to talk to you about this matter, and you can give me some advice."

"That's true. It's no small matter for the Jin people to break through the pass!" Zhang Sandao frowned. This was no joke.

"The escort said so himself, and he also said that his boss is preparing to move away."

"This... What can we do? The Jin people are burning, killing, and looting. They are committing all kinds of evil. How can we live?" Sun Zhang said anxiously.

"This matter is not up to our family to decide. I have to talk to my second uncle (the village chief) and find a plan to see what to do. Most of them will have to flee. Hey, mother, you pack up at home and ask Xinsheng to go to the city to call his father back. I will go to my second uncle's place."

After saying that, he opened the door and walked out, feeling much more depressed. Natural disasters continue, and now there is war. This world does not allow people to survive.

After returning from the old house, the family had already cooked the meal, and we started to eat. It was also porridge, with wild vegetables and a small amount of rice, which was millet. It was not bad, but it was not tasty. It had no taste.

After dinner, I said to others:

"I'm going to the county in a while to take your pulse, prescribe some medicine, buy some daily necessities, and pay my respects to your grandmother. I may not be able to come back today, so I'll stay in the county. Tomorrow, Xin Bai, you go to the county to pick me up, and take Xin Nian and Xin Shu with you. Let's catch the ox cart."

"Mom, let me go with you," said the eldest son Zhang Xinnian.

In the past, my mother often went to the county to ask for a pulse check and a medical diagnosis, and he always followed her.

“No, I can go there by myself in the bullock cart, and you can just come and pick me up tomorrow.

You, Xinnian, and Xinshu, fill up the water tanks, and then repair the cart. Xiaohui and Zhijuan try to make dry biscuits that are easy to store and carry.

Although they didn't understand why their mother made such arrangements, they just followed her instructions and obeyed her orders obediently.

After making the arrangements, Zhao Yuanzhen carried a backpack and her 18 taels of silver and walked towards the village entrance. Of course, the silver must have been placed in the space.

It usually takes an hour to walk there, but only half an hour by oxcart. There is an oxcart at the entrance of the village. It is the business of Zhang Wudao, the eldest son of the village chief. He takes people to the town every day and charges one cent per person.

He walked over and handed Zhang Wudao a penny:

"Uncle Wu, is the seat full?"

"The one from Qinghe family hasn't come yet. Get in the car and wait for a while. Wait another quarter of an hour. If he doesn't come, we'll leave." Zhang Wudao said as he took the money he handed over.

Zhao Yuanzhen then got on the car. In fact, the villagers usually walked there when they had nothing to do.

After waiting for a while and seeing no one coming, Zhang Wudao drove away.

It’s better if there is no one around, so that I don’t have to socialize when I meet people!

They staggered along like this, and half an hour later they arrived at the county town. Zhao Yuanzhen felt a little dizzy.

The main reason was that the wheels of this era were still made of wood, which had poor shock absorption and vibration reduction effects, and the road was not as smooth as it is now. The whole journey was shaky.

She found a deserted place and took a short rest. When she felt less dizzy, she carried her backpack and walked towards the hiding place of the treasure chest, which was now the county magistrate's house.

You can't go in, just look around.

I found that there were quite a few patrols, and there were people guarding the door. And there were people coming in and out all the time, and it seemed like they were doing something.

Zhao Yuanzhen walked to the back door and waited there to see if he could meet any servants who were doing shopping and ask for some information.

After waiting for almost half an hour, an old lady-like person finally came out. Zhao Yuanzhen hurried over.

"Hello, sister. We would like to ask you something."

I stuffed a penny of silver into my pocket.

Fang Mama was about to scold her, but when she saw the silver in her hand, she changed the subject.

"Who are you and what do you want to know?"

"I'm from a rural village. I grow a lot of fresh vegetables at home. I can't eat them all myself, so I sold some to see if there's a mansion in need. That's when I saw you, sister."

"So you're selling vegetables. If you had come earlier, I could have taken a look at the vegetables if they were suitable. But now the master is moving his family and won't be buying vegetables anymore. You should go ask somewhere else."

"Relocate the whole family? Where to? Why do we have to move when everything is fine? What happened?"

"I don't know about that. I'm also working for someone else. Please go away and don't delay my work."

As he said this, he waved his hand to drive Zhao Yuanzhen away, then walked out.

It seems that the Jin people are really going to break through the pass, and this damn county magistrate is about to run away. So we must act tonight.

After listening around the wall again and finding nothing wrong, Zhao Yuanzhen left, deciding to wait until night to take action.

Then I went to the clinic, took my pulse, and found no serious problems, so I bought some common medicines from the doctor.

There are typhoid fever and cold, diarrhea and trauma, headache and fever, heat-clearing and summer-heat-relieving medicine, mosquito repellent, snake repellent, etc. I bought a lot of things that I could use.

I had to prepare all the medicines for my escape. I spent almost 11 taels of silver. It turned out that seeing a doctor was the most expensive thing. The medicines were too expensive. After all this, I only had 7 taels of silver left.

He put all the medicines into the space in the same manner as putting them into a backpack.

Then I went out to look around and see if there was anything else I needed. I could buy the cheap ones first, but I would have to wait until tomorrow to buy the expensive ones.

When I passed by a steamed bun shop, I thought I could buy some, so I went in and asked the owner how much it cost.

Meat buns cost 2 wen each, and vegetable buns cost 1 wen each. Steamed buns cost 1 wen each, but they are much bigger than steamed buns, about the size of a palm.

Zhao Yuanzhen arrogantly ordered 500 of each and told the store owner that her husband had taken on the project.

She needed to take care of the workers' meals. The store owner said they didn't have that much at the moment and told her to come back for lunch.

Zhao Yuanzhen left a deposit of 500 wen and said she would come to pick it up at noon.

This left her with more than six taels of silver, so she planned to go to the blacksmith shop.

Buy a small iron pot in case you can't stop to cook while fleeing. You can also cook porridge or something in the car.

After walking for a while, they finally reached the blacksmith shop. There was an old man standing in front of the furnace. When he saw her come in, he looked up and asked:

"What do you want to buy?"

“Is there a slightly smaller iron pot?”

The uncle looked at her again. She was dressed like a typical country girl. Logically, they all liked big pots. If there were many people in the family, they would usually want to buy a big pot.

Otherwise, the rice would not be enough, and few people would buy a small pot. However, he did not say anything, and then went to the back to find a small pot and handed it to Zhao Yuanzhen.

"This 1200 words"

Zhao Yuanzhen took the iron pot and looked at it. It was the size she wanted. It was just the right size for cooking porridge in the car.

I just don't know where to buy a small stove to match it. A clay stove will do. If you put it in the car trunk, it won't burn your hands if you accidentally touch it, and it has strong heat preservation properties.

Unlike an iron stove, it gets too hot and is not safe to put in the car.

"Boss, can you give me a discount? I want to buy two more axes."

"The hatchet is 500 wen each. For two hatchets and this iron pot, I'll charge you 2000 wen."

After thinking about it, I decided it was suitable, so I bought it. The hatchet is used as a weapon. Nowadays, the restrictions on iron weapons are quite strict. Most people need to report if they want to buy iron weapons, so I decided to buy two hatchets.

He gave the shopkeeper two taels of silver, picked up the small iron pot and hatchet and put them into the backpack and put them into the space.

Afterwards, he went to the incense shop and bought a lot of each item for the ritual.

After this departure, no one knows when she will be able to come back. Although she is no longer the original owner, since she has taken over the original owner's body, she must bear the corresponding responsibilities.

Holding the sacrificial supplies, they walked towards the mountain.

It took us nearly half an hour to get there and burn everything.

Then I talked to her in a rambling manner. She didn't know where the original owner had gone, but after all, she was the original owner's mother, so it might as well talk to her about it.

“I don’t know how I ended up here and occupied your daughter’s body. I don’t know where your daughter went.

But don't worry, I will treat the children your daughter left behind well and take them to a safe place to settle down and start a family.

As for the revenge for your husband, I will definitely take it when I have the chance. I will go and get back the things he left behind tonight.

Apart from what I need for emergencies, I will find her eldest brother and give him the rest, so don't worry."

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Zhao Yuanzhen felt her body lighten after she said these words.

The fit with this body has deepened. She thought, maybe the heroine really heard it.

Then she went down the mountain. As it was almost lunch time, she hurried to the bun shop and picked up some buns.

When they arrived at the bun shop, the shopkeeper saw her and hurried out:

"Sir, the meat buns for 500, vegetarian buns for 500, and steamed buns for 500 that you ordered are all ready. I have packed them. Do you need me to deliver them to your house?"

When Zhao Yuanzhen took a look, she found that they were all packed with gauze. There were actually a lot of them in the packages. A rough glance showed that there were probably 15 packages, with 100 pieces in each package.

"No need for that. My carriage is parked at the entrance of the alley. I can take it myself."

Then he gave the remaining 1000 coins to the shopkeeper for settlement.

"Okay, sir!"

Zhao Yuanzhen first picked up 4 bags, found a relatively hidden alley, and then put them into the space. He repeated this several times before he finished collecting all the steamed buns.

She was also hungry from all the work, so she took out two buns from the space, one vegetable bun and one meat bun, and started eating.

Don’t mention it, the buns at this time are really delicious, maybe the vegetables and meat are all natural, without any technology or hard work.

The stuffing and dough are all minced manually, so the noodles are very chewy and the stuffing is also very fragrant.

I ate two buns but still felt unfull, so I ate two more until I was full. It turns out that being delicate is just a character setting!

After eating, she decided to find an inn. She planned to sleep in the afternoon and get her things back in the evening.

I found an inn that looked pretty good, asked for a middle room, asked the waiter for a pot of tea, and went upstairs to the room.

This room costs 300 wen per room, which is equivalent to 300 yuan today. It is very expensive when converted.

The furnishings in the room were simple. There was a bunk bed near the north wall, and an octagonal table and four round stools in front of the bed.

The tea that had just been ordered was placed on the table. On the left side of the table was a washbasin rack with a washbasin on it.

There is a window on the right, under the window is a long table, and there is a chair in front of the table. Overall, it is really simple.

I touched it and it wasn't made of any precious wood, but it was still an antique!

I amused myself for a while. If I could go back and just take one of them, I might become rich!

I don’t know if I will have the chance to go back, and I don’t know what happened to my house.

I saved up money with great effort to pay the down payment for this little home I bought, but I haven’t lived in it for long. Fortunately, I didn’t have much money left.

After graduation, she used all the money she had saved from working over the past few years to pay the down payment for the house. After paying the mortgage and living expenses, there was not much left from her monthly salary.

As for parents and friends, she basically had none. She grew up in an orphanage since she was a child. Because she grew up in an orphanage, there were all kinds of palace intrigues. As a result, after she grew up, she was unwilling to make friends even after leaving the orphanage, and she had always lived alone.

Then he shook his head, stopped thinking, got dressed and went to bed, ready to sleep, and set the system to set an alarm at 7 o'clock to gather energy for the battle in the evening.
