I traveled through time and space and encountered a famine, and I became a hermit.

Gu Dahai and Gu Dahe made assurances again and again, especially Gu Dahe. After all, this was his own daughter. She had received such a great opportunity, and he should have taken good care of her, so why would he spread the news everywhere?

Then the father and his two sons carried Gu Fu and walked around the house. Wherever they passed, everything except those that could not be moved was stored in the space. Fortunately, the crops in the fields had been harvested and stored in the space.

In the end, only two days' worth of food for the family, a few pieces of clothing, wooden boxes as cover, a chicken and two large iron pots were left, which were collected when they set out.

It was almost dark when Gu Dajiang returned from the town. As soon as he entered the door, he felt something was wrong in the yard. Without thinking too much, he went to find his father to report the news.

The Gu family gathered in the main hall again. Gu Dajiang drank two large bowls of water before he said, "Dad, most of the shops in the town are closed. Only the rice and cloth shops are still open. There are only a few pedestrians in the town. Fortunately, I met a coachman going to the county. I gave him the fare and asked him to go to the county to find a car to take the message back to my sister-in-law's family."

Gu Liuye took a puff of cigarette and said, "Well, that's the only way. What do your father-in-law and the third brother's family plan?"

"My father-in-law's family heard some rumors a few days ago, but they didn't believe them at first. It was only after I reported the news that they took it seriously. They said they would go to ask the clan leader for permission and then flee the famine with the other clan members. My third brother's wife's family also had the same idea." Gu Dajiang hurriedly expressed his in-laws' intentions.

The Gu family was silent for a moment after hearing this, but they all understood that people nowadays valued clans, and following clansmen was justified. However, after fleeing from famine, they didn't know when they would see each other again.

After chatting for a while, Gu Dajiang finally had time to look around the house. He found that there were only a few chairs left in the main room, and a teapot and teacups in front of him.

"Dad, has our house been robbed?" He hurried back to his room to check, but found only a few old clothes and a wooden box. The same thing happened in his father's room.

Gu Dahai explained with a smile: "Don't be nervous, we have put away all our things."

Gu Dajiang asked in confusion: "Put it away? Where did you put it?"

Gu Dahe added, "Our family has received a great opportunity. All the things have been put away. Don't worry, second brother."

After hearing this, Gu Dajiang stopped asking questions.

"Then when do we set off? Should we flee the famine with the villagers or go into the mountains?" asked Gu Dajiang.

"Let's wait until tomorrow morning. I'll go say hello to your clan leader, and then we'll go into the mountains," said Master Gu Liu.

The family had discussed it and decided to simply eat some dry food and go to bed early, ready to face new challenges in the future.

The next morning, Master Gu Liu went to the clan leader's house and told his elder brother about the family situation. The main thing was that the eldest daughter-in-law was not easy to travel, and the children were young and not easy to travel far. The eldest daughter-in-law was good at hunting, so it should be okay to temporarily hide in the mountains. Wait until the eldest daughter-in-law has recovered, and then chase after her when the situation here is not good. If things are stable here, send a letter to everyone, and then the clan members can come back.

In fact, several clan members came to the clan leader yesterday and suggested not taking Master Gu Liu's family with them. The reason was simple: they felt that this family had suffered disasters one after another, and they were afraid that fleeing together would bring disaster to the clan members.

Although the clan leader suppressed the rebellion, he was still worried that something might happen if they went on the road together. Now that Gu Laoliu offered to stay, there was no better outcome, so he did not try to persuade him to stay. The matter was settled. In addition to Gu Liuye's family, there were two or three families who had relatives in other states who wanted to seek refuge, and the others all fled together. We will not mention them here for now.

When Gu Liuye returned home, he arranged for his family to pack up the remaining things. He thought that he didn't know when he would be able to come out after hiding in the mountains, so the more food the better. He called his three sons and told them, "We are going to go to the mountains, and we don't know when we will be hiding. Now we have Fu'er's magic weapon to store food, so the more food the better."

"You three take your wives, Jill and Xiang'er. The eldest one will take your wife to the doctor's house in town to ask him to prescribe a few more prescriptions and buy some common herbs for backup."

"The second and third sons, take your wives to help your father-in-law, and let the wives meet their families. Alas! After this separation, I don't know when we can get together again."

As he said this, he took out some money and gave it to Gu Dahai, "If the grain store and cloth store are still open, buy more grain and cloth." "I understand, son," said Gu Dahai as he took the money.

The sons hurriedly thanked their father on behalf of their wives and went out with the boys at home.
