Escape from famine: Daddy stands up, Dali girl lies down

"Dad, I'm back!"

Lin Xinghou walked through the crowd, without even having time to greet his tribesmen, and kept pushing his way towards the main hall.

The exhausted man became even more anxious when he saw the clansmen were everywhere inside and outside the house.

"Fourth brother, come in quickly!" the patriarch said anxiously.

At the same time, I felt relieved.

Lin Xinghou pushed open the door and was almost killed by the thick smoke in the room.

"Ahem, ahem, there's a fight in the north."

"What? There's a fight in the north!"

Everyone exclaimed in surprise. Linjia Village was only separated from the border by a mountain.

According to the old people, this village was the first to be affected by the war in the early years.

Recruiting soldiers, northern barbarians who came over the mountains, and bandits.

Any of these would cause heavy losses to the village, or even its destruction.

"Escape from famine!" everyone present said in unison.

Those who had expressed objections just now also stopped thinking.

Because nothing is more important than life.

Staying means certain death, but fleeing from famine gives you a chance to survive.

"Go back and make preparations immediately, and gather at the village entrance before dawn." The patriarch said decisively.

Everyone present left with a heavy heart, and had only two words to say to the villagers who gathered around them.

"flee from famine!"

"What, fleeing from famine?

Without food and money, what can I use to escape the famine? What will happen to my land and house? "

"I won't leave. I'd rather die on my own bed."

"I am an old woman who is about to be buried. What should I be afraid of? I will die anyway.

It is better to die in your own home, so as not to cause trouble to future generations."

"Mom, if you don't leave, what are we going to do?"

……

The sounds of quarreling, crying, and persuasion were all audible.

Various emotions such as sadness, numbness, and despair all surged into my heart.

"Woo woo, why is my life so miserable!"

"Stop crying. If you want to die, don't drag the children down."

"What are you arguing about? Why don't you go back and prepare?

He picked up valuables and food and did not even leave behind the grass on other houses.

If you want to die, stay here, go home and cry behind closed doors, don’t disturb other people’s emotions.”

The village chief, who was annoyed by the noise, started cursing.

All that steadiness and face, go to hell.

His family had to give up dozens of acres of land and a large brick and tile house, while the villagers cried out in despair over just a few acres of land.

No one can bear to hear it.

At this time, the village chief envied Lin Erzhuang.

Although the land was sold at a low price, it was better than them getting nothing at all.

So, fortune and misfortune are interdependent.

No one can tell whether things are good or bad until the last step.

That night, the people and horses of Linjia Village were in chaos until dawn.

Those who left home packed their bags and looked back frequently with tearful eyes at the home that was getting farther and farther away.

There are those people who are homesick and can't bear to part with anything.

The carts were piled to the brim and more were being added.

"Mom, don't put it up." Lin Dacheng said helplessly.

Seeing the villagers leaving in groups while he himself was still at home, he became as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"What do you know? My family is worth a fortune, and I need money to go everywhere.

Oh, and you have to bring our pig trough, which I bought for ten cents."

Mother Lin ran to the backyard in a hurry, muttering to herself.

"Bang~"

Lin Dacheng angrily threw the cart to the ground.

Without caring about the broken jars, he took everything off and threw them on the ground.

"Little Three and Little Four, come here."

The two youngest children were carrying bags that were bigger than themselves.

Not to mention walking, I can't even see the road ahead.

Lin Dacheng carried the two children into the stroller and told his wife and children to leave.

When Lin's mother dragged the pig trough over, she saw a pile of debris in the yard and no one was there.

"Dacheng, Dacheng!

You are such a heartless person, you can't just abandon your mother!"

Lin's mother, who had just been as calm as an old dog, was now extremely panicked.

She felt like she was abandoned by her son, leaving her alone with no way out but death.

Lin's mother didn't even dare to think about that outcome. She didn't care about the pig trough anymore. She just regretted that she had two fewer legs.

Holding the small bag tightly on his back, he ran out as fast as he could.

"Great success, great success, my son!

You can't abandon your mother! It's not good to marry a wife and forget your mother! "

"Mom, what are you talking about!"

Lin Dacheng came back and heard his mother's nonsense. He wanted to shut her mouth.

"Wow, you are such a heartless person.

Mom thought you didn’t want me anymore, wow~"

Lin's mother cried with joy and grabbed Lin Dacheng, crying and beating him.

How majestic!

"Mom, that's enough. The whole village is watching you."

Lin Dacheng was so angry that his face turned red and his teeth chattered, but he had to endure it.

【This is my mother, not an outsider. 】

"Hahaha, Sister Lin is still so funny." Villager A joked.

"Hahaha……"

The depressed mood of fleeing famine was suddenly relieved a lot by Lin's mother's singing and making noise.

"What are you laughing at? Have you never seen an old lady teach her son?"

Lin's mother wiped her face and bared her teeth at the villagers.

"Hahaha, good teaching!"

...

The homesick old man, along with the young and middle-aged people, knelt down in the direction of Linjia Village.

Tears were streaming down the face and the whole place was crying.

"Okay, the time has come.

Everyone who is supposed to come has come. Please keep an eye on everyone’s luggage and children.

Set off! "

After a long time, the village chief stood on his own ox cart, waved his hand and led the way.

The villagers following behind were carrying bags of varying sizes.

After a grain collection campaign, most families were left penniless.

The food they brought could only last for a few days, and some families were left with nothing.

As I walked further away, a feeling of sadness loomed over my head.

The children who usually love to play around become quiet and don't dare to make a sound when they see the adults crying.

...

Wujia Village.

After the grain collection incident, the whole village looked like it had been looted by bandits.

"Oh no, something happened to the Wu family."

Neighbor Tian Shunzi hadn't heard any movement from the Wu family for a long time. He saw that the door was broken open and the house was empty.

"This...this...could it be that we were attacked by bandits?" Wu Qiutian stuttered.

"There's no one at the Daming brothers' homes," Villager B reminded.

“When I got up at night, I heard some noise on the road.

You say, maybe they got the news and ran away in advance."

"What, how can these three families be so wicked.

Why didn't you tell us? It's so heartless."

"You can't tell a person's true heart from his appearance. He is usually a very righteous person, but in times of crisis, he only cares about his own life."

"Humph, I won't let you off easily if I meet you."

When the villagers thought about their grain being confiscated, they all took out their anger on Wu Yidao.

They completely forgot all the benefits Wu Yidao brought to them on a daily basis.

Unity and trust also collapsed at this moment.

They also completely forgot about Wu Yidao's contributions to Wujia Village. After living a peaceful and comfortable life for too long, they finally lost their original intentions.

All this has nothing to do with the group of people leaving the village.

...

At dawn, the dusty team rested on the sparsely populated riverbed.

Several boys, led by Lin Hongyi, lay on a high place, looking at the mottled walls of the county town from afar.

"That's the county town. It's very big and there are lots of delicious food." Lin Hongyi boasted in a low voice.
