God-given mother: The villain cub is super clingy

After saying this, the village chief let everyone go.

Only a few respected elders and some heads of families whose words carried weight and whose minds were quick were left in the village. There were about a dozen people in total, and Lin Yue knew them all. After spending some time with them, she had basically recognized everyone in the village.

"Ayue, tell everyone again what you heard that day!"

After the old patriarch said this, everyone turned their eyes to her.

She then repeated the news that Manager Zhang had told her.

"Rebels? Oh my God, this is a rebellion!"

"No wonder the village chief asked us to stockpile food. If we don't do it soon, the price of food will definitely go up!"

"I went to town yesterday and saw that food prices had already gone up by a penny!"

Everyone's face was filled with shock and solemnity, and they all expressed their own thoughts.

"Then what should we do? Should we flee?"

The young people were so impatient that they all fell silent when the topic of escaping was brought up!

They were fleeing for their lives! Who would be willing to leave their homes with their families?

The village chief coughed softly and said, "I called everyone here today so that we can discuss escaping together."

"Village Chief, do we have to flee?"

The old patriarch raised his eyes and asked, "Why don't you flee and wait for the rebels to attack and die?"

"Why are they called rebels? They're going to rebel, and if they do, they're going to attack the capital. Our Yejia Village is a must-go place to the capital. Who knows if those rebels are good or bad? What if they steal food and kill people? Can you withstand it?"

"There's still Qingzhou City ahead!"

The person who spoke was not giving up hope. He was still thinking that Qingzhou City was ahead. At least there were defenders in the city, so it would not be breached, right?

But seeing everyone staring at him, his heart began to beat fast. What if Qingzhou City could not be defended?

Some people think more, such as Qin Fang.

"It will be too late to escape once the rebels arrive. I think the first ones to flee will be the refugees. They've come all the way here, and they'll do anything to stay alive!"

"The autumn harvest has just passed, and even the rebels have to prepare food and fodder. I think they will definitely need to store food for the winter. Besides, the imperial army hasn't withdrawn yet. Even if they attack in winter, marching in winter won't be easy. So, the news is correct, and there will definitely be confirmed news after the New Year!"

After hearing what Qin Fang said, some people began to think and their words became more organized.

"There will definitely be refugees fleeing here before the New Year. We'll send some people to inquire with those people. The first ones to flee will definitely be the wealthy. These people are well-informed, have large families and are more afraid of death. They will flee the fastest. Otherwise, the news would not have reached here so quickly."

"If that's the case, then the wealthy families in this town and Qingzhou City will definitely be making some moves. Let's go and ask around."

After hearing this, the old patriarch was relieved and turned to ask Lin Yue again.

"Ayue, do you have any ideas?"

Since the old patriarch asked her, Lin Yue was ready to talk about her thoughts, but she didn't plan to tell it all. She knew the character of half of the people here, but she didn't know the rest, so she couldn't say too much.

"I think everyone is right. It's necessary to get information, and it's also necessary to flee. The most important thing right now is to store up as much food as possible. If possible, we still need to find a way to earn more silver. If we need to flee, having silver is better than having nothing at all."

Everyone agreed after hearing this. The old patriarch felt that Lin Yue was right, but he always felt that she still had reservations.

"If you want to earn more money, you can only go to the mountains more often. Even if you gain a small amount, you can exchange it for some money!"

That's true. There's no snow in the mountains yet, so we can get some rewards by running a few more times. Not to mention other things, we can still get some pheasants, rabbits and other mountain products. We all grew up in the mountains and know some herbs. Even if we dig some herbs and sell them, we can get some money as long as we are diligent.

"In that case, let's split up and act accordingly! Those who are able should stock up on food first, and keep an eye out in the cities and towns. Come back and tell everyone if you have any news."

As the old patriarch spoke, he signaled to his wife with his eyes. Third Grandma understood and quickly stopped Lin Yue who was about to leave.

"Ayue, wait a minute, I have something to talk to you about."

Seeing this, the others left tactfully. Third Grandma pulled her into the kitchen and gave her a basket.

"Here are some eggs I saved. Take them back and give them to the four men to nourish their bodies."

Lin Yue quickly declined, "Auntie, you guys keep it for yourselves! I bought some in town."

"There are some at home. Just take them if you're told to!"

He stuffed it into her hand without any explanation, and Lin Yue had no choice but to accept it because she couldn't refuse.

"The old man still has something to tell you! Here, I'm waiting, go ahead!"

Third Grandma nodded towards the yard, where the old patriarch was sitting with a frown on his face. It was obvious that today's result had not completely reassured him.

"Old patriarch."

"Ayue, sit down!"

The old patriarch pointed to the bench beside him and put the pipe in his hand on his waist. "You haven't finished what you said today, have you?"

Lin Yue smiled. The old ones are still the wisest. He is worthy of being the old patriarch.

"Actually, I'm just thinking about it."

"Is this the idea of ​​going into the mountains?"

Seeing that the old patriarch had guessed it, Lin Yue nodded.

"We can't publicly announce the idea of ​​hiding in the mountains. People's hearts are complicated. If the whole village goes into the mountains, it's unrealistic. Those who go into the mountains must not only be good at fighting and have good character, but also must not cause trouble, otherwise it will cause trouble!"

The old patriarch pondered for a moment and felt that what Lin Yue said made sense. He said that those troublemakers in the village were causing trouble all day long. If they went into the deep mountains and forests and caused trouble, it would not be a small trouble, it would be fatal!

"Do you think going into the mountains is better than fleeing?"

"No one can say for sure. After all, we are close to the mountains. The rebels can't stay here forever. They will eventually leave. Their goal is to overthrow the existing court. One of them will definitely win. Once the rebellion is quelled, we can return to the village!"

"If the whole village flees south, we can't reach the capital. We have to keep going south, but we don't know where it's safe. Walking all the way won't be any safer than the mountains. There will be refugees everywhere, and it will probably be even more terrifying."

The old patriarch sighed deeply, "But finding a suitable place to survive in those deep mountains and old forests is probably not an easy task!"

Lin Yue thought about it and felt it necessary to tell the old patriarch about her suggestions. The old patriarch should be worried not only about survival, but also about wild beasts.

"The last time I went into the mountains, I climbed to a higher point and took a look. There's a flat valley inside that could be suitable for us to take refuge temporarily. One advantage of being in the mountains is that if we stay there for a long time, we can open up some wasteland and grow some food."

Speaking of growing crops, there was finally a glimmer of light in the old patriarch's eyes.
