Crossing the famine, relying on a spiritual spring to support the entire village

The people in Sujia Village saw that Su Lizheng looked unhappy and asked hurriedly. Everyone talked at once and Su Lizheng had a headache. He looked at everyone's hopeful eyes and didn't know how to start.

"The Beilin City Gate no longer accepts refugees. We can't get in, and we can't get any food."

"What about those people who came out to explore the way with us before?" When Wang heard that Beilin would not accept anyone, her heart suddenly tightened. Where did her Dazhi go? He did not come back to report the news, and he was not seen in the crowd.

The other family members sent to explore the way also began to ask questions. Su Lizheng shook his head helplessly, not knowing whether there was an accident on the road or they had already entered Beilin City. He couldn't say.

Wang was already slumped on the ground. His son

"Why don't they accept us in Beilin? You should talk to them, head of the village. It took us half a month to get here." Su Ergou shouted. He only had a basket of apples. It was clearly the head of the village who asked them to come out, so he must take responsibility.

"Yes, village head, although we picked some apples, there are too many of us, and if we divide them among the families, there won't be much left. Otherwise, you can ask the official to be more flexible," said Widow Sun at the entrance of the village. She was the only one picking apples, which was a big loss. How many could a woman like her pick? It was a loss when there were fewer people.

"Don't make things difficult for the headman. The official said that we have to go back 200 miles and then go south 200 miles to find a large refugee camp." Sanjin was tongue-tied and didn't know what to say, but the headman was really helpless, otherwise why would he be so anxious that he almost fainted just now?

"I want to go home, Li Zheng, let's go back to the village!"

"Li Zheng, are we still going to that refugee camp?"

San Jin's face flushed red, and he was no longer able to find any words to refute.

Suri's tense face relaxed, he sighed slightly, and patted Sanjin on the shoulder. This kid was very honest. They were just venting their resentment along the way.

Suri was silent, sitting cross-legged on a stone by the roadside. After a long chat, no one responded and the conversation became silent. Everyone stopped asking.

Pairs of eyes stared at Suri.

Su Li was looking at these familiar faces, feeling sad. He was devoted to Sujia Village, and thought he had a clear conscience. He had done his best for his ancestors and the Su family. But when something went wrong, all the blame was put on him. It would be a lie to say he didn't feel sad.

"Fellow villagers of Sujia Village, since I became the head of Sujia Village, I have always been fair and strict with myself. It was indeed me who first proposed fleeing the famine, but it was also agreed by everyone's vote. Right and wrong are not important now. Now we still have 300 kilograms of public grain. There are 46 households in our village. Let's divide it according to the number of people." Su Li straightened his face. He had been thinking about this for a long time.

Everyone has different feelings, so why not divide the food and go their separate ways. No one should hold anyone back, and a few bad apples should not spoil the whole pot of porridge. In adversity, negative emotions are the most taboo, because they are contagious, and if they are not curbed in time, trouble will arise sooner or later.

"No, I don't agree!" Widow Sun was the first to stand up. There was some anger in the corners of her eyes, and her originally dark yellow face turned red with anger. She was already feeling unbalanced after picking apples. Now her son was distributing food by head, so she would lose a lot! She gently poked Su Ergou's back with her elbow.

"I don't agree either!" Su Ergou raised his head high and said angrily, "No, no, it's too bad for him to be the only bachelor in his family with his old mother. It's too bad, too bad."

"Oh, then don't divide yours for now?" Su Li was scanning the faces of Su Ergou and Wang Guafu with his eyes slanted.

"That won't work." This is even worse. What if something happens to Surizheng? Who will need their food? Wouldn't the food then go into his own pocket?

"So what do you want?"

"The amount should be distributed equally among each household. This is fair."

"Su Ergou, are you dreaming? Why don't you pay by household when handing over grain? It's a nice idea to distribute the grain now."

"That's right, why don't you ask the head of the village to give you all the food? It will be enough for you to eat for several years."

Su Ergou choked. Yes, he paid the grain per person. But no matter how you look at it, they lost money. Su Shuitian's family and several rich farmers raised so much money. If they divide it now, he will get less.

"Okay, let's divide it this way," Su Lizheng said impatiently, "If Su Ergou has any objections, I will collect grain from you per household in the future."

Su Ergou had no choice but to keep quiet. Widow Sun cursed Su Ergou in the back, saying he was useless, but she couldn't continue.

Those with fewer people did not speak, and did not object nor did they express their opposition. If the food was distributed by household, they would get more, so they kept silent. If they won the argument, they would benefit, otherwise they would not lose much, so why not do it?

Suri was watching all of this and was even more disappointed with them.

Su Lizheng was very efficient and did what he said. Soon every household got a portion of food. They didn't have to worry about food for the time being.

"Mom, don't worry. Big brother and his family might be in Beilin City as refugees now. Big brother is a lucky person and will be fine." Su Nian'an comforted Wang softly. Her brother had been indifferent to her since childhood. He didn't even show up on the day of her wedding. He was extremely indifferent. When she was driven back to her parents' home, her face was expressionless, neither happy nor angry. She didn't like this brother.

But he is Wang's biological son, the original body's elder brother, and Xiao Ni'er's biological father. As an excellent soul occupying someone else's body, he must take good care of his original relatives. Besides, Wang and Xiao Ni'er are so good to her, she doesn't want them to be sad.

The few people who were exploring the way were strong and healthy, but now they are all skinny due to lack of food and clothing. They will definitely have no problem protecting themselves.

"Grandma, no, don't cry, don't cry." When little Nier saw her dearest grandma crying, her eyes began to turn red, and her eye sockets slowly filled with tears. The big tears flowed down her little black face.

"Well, don't cry, don't cry, my little girl won't cry either, your father will be fine." Wang's heart melted when she saw her granddaughter crying. She said this to comfort her little girl and herself.

At this time, Axe Village

Four strong young men were tied to the wooden stakes at the entrance of the village. No, three strong men and a fat little boy.

"We don't want to be bandits, we are good farmers" The fat boy speaks in a second-year voice

"Inappropriate" a middle-aged man with eyebrows like caterpillars, with a clear voice, returned

The other two also shook their heads with a cold expression.

"The bandits are very good, they have everything you want. I'll find you a wife later, how nice it is." Chen Youqian threatened and lured them. There were too few able-bodied men in their village. Apart from the fat man, these three were very good, with well-developed lines and firm meat.

"No" the four of them said in unison

"Okay, let's see how long you can hold out. Guys, let's go," Chen Youqian said as he called all the bandits into the village.

"You said you were from Qinxi, that's a disaster area, why are you running around?"

"I see. But the surrounding cities no longer provide assistance to new refugees. Only Grinna has set up a large refugee camp."

"How should I know? Because I'm handsome."

"Hey, talk to me, I've been trapped for three days and there's no one to talk to. It's scary at night." The little fat boy said to himself, his chubby face wrinkled up, and the slits between his eyes were almost invisible.
