The whole family is full of tigers, leopards, jackals and wolves. The peasant girl in space escapes
Chapter 53 No one is spared
Wild ginseng is not more valuable than ginseng. A hundred-year-old wild ginseng is estimated to be sold for around fifty taels. Even though it grows in space and is different from ordinary wild ginseng, the price in the medicine shop is still there.
Sure enough, the old doctor looked at the wrapped wild ginseng carefully and nodded, "This ginseng is good, not bad."
"How about this, I won't take advantage of you, young lady. I'll take the fifty taels of this ginseng."
Tang Qiyue did not raise the price either, and nodded, "Okay."
After receiving the purse, Tang Qiyue heard the old doctor say, "If you need any more wild ginseng in the future, just send it to me. The price will definitely satisfy you, young lady."
After Tang Qiyue responded, she threw the purse into the space and went to the street. She still needed to see what vegetables and fruits were sold in the town today.
As a result, she was deeply disappointed.
The snow kept coming down, and only a few small stalls were still open. What they sold were just sweet potatoes that could be stored, and no seasonal food such as vegetables or fruits.
There are also bartering, such as exchanging one pound of sweet potatoes for half a pound of brown rice, or for cornmeal.
Life was hard. Tang Qiyue secretly clenched her hands and returned to the back mountain of Baile Village.
Tang Qiyue missed her adopted son so much after not seeing him for half a day. She kissed his soft little face and said, "I went to the town to ask about it. It is true that you can settle down here. The place you are assigned to is one of the surrounding villages. You can't choose it yourself. It's arranged by the county government."
"What do you think?" Tang Qiyue handed the decision-making power to Lin's Tang San, Hu Lao Da, Xu Fang and Zhao Yonghe.
There was silence in the wooden house, and no one spoke first.
Tang Qiyue was not in a hurry either. She shook the rattle to tease Zhaobao to crawl around on the bed, and they were having a lot of fun.
"I think we should not settle down here, not for the time being. After all, there are so many refugees now. Miss Tang, you entered the town today and you didn't see that another wave of refugees came from the foot of the mountain, but they didn't go up the mountain because they were afraid of wild beasts! They also saw people like us and didn't dare to come." Boss Hu spoke first.
There is such a thing? Tang Qiyue tilted her head and glanced at him, "Did you see how many people there were?"
"Not many, just two or three families, probably more than twenty people. You didn't see how little they were wearing. There was a thick layer of snow on their bodies and heads. From a distance, they looked like snowmen stuck in the ground." Lin San curled his lips and continued the conversation.
Tang Qiyue breathed a sigh of relief. Apart from Aunt Fang and her daughter, she didn't meet anyone else from Daohua Village during her escape. She didn't know whether they were in front or behind.
If you encounter this time...
"The snow has been falling for so long and it hasn't stopped yet. Why are there still refugees coming to the capital? I don't know how many people will die." Lin couldn't help but shake his head and sighed.
"The houses in Baile Village at the foot of our mountain have been repaired these days. The injured villagers have also returned from the town. I think it won't take long for the houses to be almost repaired."
The group exchanged the information they knew with each other. Tang Qiyue heard it and said, "Although we are not going to settle down for the time being, it is not good to live in the mountains all the time, and I think we can buy this piece of land."
It would be best to register the flat land for building the wooden house with the county government to avoid being coveted by others.
"Okay, let's buy this piece of flat land and it will be ours." Xu Fang clapped his hands and took out the silver he had saved for a long time from his lapel and gave it to Tang Qiyue without saying anything. "Miss Tang, take it. I'll be responsible for buying the land."
Seeing him like this, everyone except Xie Changjin, including Granny Mo, took out some money.
Lin also took out her own hidden money, five taels of silver.
Tang Qiyue was surprised. He counted the silver that everyone took out, which was almost eighty taels, enough to cover this piece of mountain land.
After accepting the money from everyone without any monopoly or hesitation, she went straight to find Village Chief Fu. Although the two of them had a very unpleasant quarrel before, when Village Chief Fu heard that these refugees actually wanted to buy the land on the back mountain, although it was not much, it would still be a face-saving thing for him if the news got out.
So, he immediately put aside his dissatisfaction with Tang Qiyue and his group, took the silver, went into the town, and got the land deed back in less than half a day.
Tang Qiyue was not a stingy person, and she would not ask someone to do something for nothing, so she threw a few pieces of silver to the village chief and said, "Thank you very much."
When the refugees nearby heard that Tang Qiuyue and his companions had bought the mountain land, they became extremely frightened. Now the land belonged to them, and what if these people drove them away?
Where can they go in such a snowy day? They will surely die on the way.
As soon as Tang Qiyue went up the mountain, she was blocked. Refugees blocked her way, including Zhao Yonghe. When she met the latter's apologetic eyes, she understood.
"Miss Tang, I heard that you bought this piece of land? Does that mean it will be yours from now on? Do we have to demolish the wooden house we built?"
After three questions, Tang Qiyue smiled and said, "I bought this piece of mountain land, and the wooden house does not need to be demolished."
"We all fled together. I can let you stay here until the snow stops."
They didn't expect Tang Qiyue to be so easy to talk to. They felt discontented for a moment and their faces turned red.
Tang Qiyue did not stay long, and walked around them and returned to the wooden house. Under everyone's expectant gaze, he took out the land deed and said, "This piece of land belongs to everyone now."
However, only three people's names could be written on the deed, so Tang Qiyue, Boss Hu, and Xu Fang, who had received the most silver, were named. As for the others, Tang Qiyue did not treat them unfairly and asked Tang Qingshu to draft a contract.
If anything is planted on this land in the future, each person will get a share, so no one will suffer a loss.
What Tang Qiyue naturally wouldn't say was that she was saving money and she wanted to contract the entire mountain!
"That's great! Our lives are getting better and better!" Granny Mo wiped the tears from her eyes. She never thought she could live so well after fleeing. It was good enough that she didn't starve to death.
Others felt the same way. If they hadn't met Tang Qiyue's family, their lives wouldn't be as good as they are now.
The heavy snow continued until the end of September. On the second day after the snow stopped, when it had not melted yet, drizzle began to fall from the sky again. The temperature did not rise, and it was freezing people.
Tang Qiyue stretched out her hand and let the drizzle hit the back of her hand. She shivered all over. She knew that even if the snow stopped, it would be October, the real winter was coming, and God would be even more cruel.
No one is spared from freezing rain and frost disasters.
