The whole family travels through the book, the plot is broken but the characters are not

Han Qingyun slept until dawn the next day. If he wasn't so hungry, he could have slept a little longer.

After dinner, Han Qingyun prepared to go find the village chief. Today was May 9th, and he had originally planned to leave in the next two days, but he was worried that the villagers would not leave until they had harvested all the grain, as grain was the villagers' lifeblood.

Whether to wait for the villagers or not, Han Qingyun had to wait until he went to the village chief's house before making a decision.

Several village elders heard that Han Qingyun had returned last night, so they went to Han Hongzhi's house early in the morning, ready to go with Han Hongzhi to find Han Qingyun and ask about the specific situation and his plans.

Seeing that Han Qingyun came to his house, Han Hongzhi quickly asked him to sit down.

Han Qingyun greeted several elders, then turned to Han Hongzhi and explained his purpose directly.

"Uncle Village Chief, I plan to leave tomorrow. King Lin's side should be attacking soon."

Han Hongzhi sighed, "Qingyun, can we wait a little longer? We country folk have worked hard and waited for a year just for the harvest in the next few days. The wheat is already ripe. Asking everyone to give up now would be like asking for their lives."

Han Qingyun also knew this, so he asked, "Uncle Village Chief, how long do you think it will take to harvest all the grain?"

Han Hongzhi thought for a moment and said, "If the weather is good and it doesn't rain, it should be around in four or five days."

Han Qingyun frowned. "No. Prince Lin's army will arrive in four or five days at the earliest. Even if they attack the city first, the county's troops won't be able to hold out for a day."

"After they take over the county seat, they will definitely release people to the towns and villages below. This time, many victims from Jiyang have come with Prince Lin's army. Even if we leave tomorrow, we may be caught up. If we leave after four or five days, we may not be able to escape."

The expressions of several elders and Han Hongzhi became more and more ugly. They had heard Han Qingshan talk about the army, but they didn't know about the victims.

Ji Yang had suffered from severe drought for years, and many people had starved to death. When these people saw their food, they had no choice but to snatch it all away.

But if we leave tomorrow, the villagers are really not prepared.

"Qingyun, where are you planning to escape to?"

"Los Angeles."

"Luocheng? Why not go directly to the prefectural capital, or to Lin'an Prefecture? Luocheng is too far away, and everything is expensive in Luocheng. How can farmers like us survive there?"

"Uncle village chief, grandfather clan elder, since King Lin has raised an army, he won't just stay in Wuping County. We in Shangyang Prefecture can't stop him, and neither can we in Lin'an Prefecture. We don't know how long this war will last."

"Comparatively speaking, Luocheng is the safest. Luocheng is expensive, but we can't take the houses and fields in Fengye Village with us anyway, so it's difficult to survive anywhere. Only after we survive can we consider how to survive."

Han Hongzhi and several elders looked at each other. They knew that what Han Qingyun said made sense, but this was a matter for the whole village after all, and they couldn't make a decision now.

Seeing this, Han Qingyun stopped trying to persuade them.

"Uncle Village Chief, why don't you first ask the villagers for their opinions, see who is willing to leave and where they are going, and then make a decision. Just be quick, because staying here for one more day means more danger."

Han Hongzhi nodded and said, "I'll go door to door now, and then I'll come back to discuss it with you in the evening."

Han Qingyun responded and left the village chief's house. He felt a little heavy in his heart. He knew the ending of the village, but the villagers didn't know. Most of them were still waiting and watching. He didn't have much confidence in the outcome of the evening.

He had to prepare for the worst. If the villagers still didn't leave after two days, he would have no choice but to leave with his family.

But if they were to go on the road alone with the Lu family, the risks would be very great. I heard that there were many bandits on the road.

Lu Yanyan saw that Han Qingyun was feeling heavy. She hugged him and said softly, "You've tried your best. Whether they listen or not is entirely up to them. As long as our family is together, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Han Qingyun hugged Lu Yanyan and said, "Yanyan, I'm sorry. A few days ago, Brother Shi'an asked us to go with him. He has many guards, and we would be less dangerous if we went with him. But I wanted to give the villagers some time and also wanted to warn County Magistrate Qian, so I refused. I regret it now. Why didn't I go with them?"

Lu Yanyan patted Han Qingyun's back gently. He was this person. He said he regretted it, but if he was given another chance, he would still stay and do what he wanted to do.

"It doesn't matter. The book says only 108 villagers escaped. Even if only 109 are willing to go with us, your efforts will not be in vain."

Han Qingyun was amused by Lu Yanyan: "We risked staying for so many days just to let one more villager live? That's not worth it. I believe that County Magistrate Qian will be prepared. If he can hold on a little longer and more people escape from the county town, it will be worth it."

"Will do!"

In Wuping County, County Magistrate Qian had indeed been making preparations as Han Qingyun had expected.

Yesterday, after he had arranged for his wife and children, he discussed countermeasures with the county magistrate, the county lieutenant, and others. They organized manpower to reinforce the city walls, recruit temporary soldiers, and train the prisoners...

As long as those who left the city did not cause any disturbance, the soldiers guarding the city turned a blind eye and let them go.

But this morning, County Lieutenant Qiao Bing did not come to the county government office. Qian Yongda sent someone to County Lieutenant Qiao's house to see if anything had happened. Only then did he find out that the family had left the city early in the morning.

This made Qian Yongda very angry, but he didn't have the energy to chase him now, so he could only temporarily promote Captain Wang to be the county lieutenant and let him be fully responsible for the public security of the county.

That evening, Han Qingyun had just finished dinner when Han Hongzhi came to his house.

There are five families and forty-nine people who can go with Han Qingyun now.

Most of these families have finished harvesting in the fields after two days of rushing to harvest.

Like Han Hongzhi's family, he has many strong laborers, and although he has a lot of land, he finished harvesting it in two days.

They begged the village chief to let them wait for two more days, by which time there would be eleven households and one hundred and three people leaving together.

These families either have more land that has not been harvested yet, or have elderly people and children at home and want to make a few more carts. Han Qingshan's family belongs to this category.

Most of the others were still waiting and watching. Some said that King Lin might not necessarily attack the village, and even if he did, he might not attack the village.

Some also said that if King Lin’s men really came, the worst that could happen was that they would just hide in the mountains and come out after King Lin’s men left.

Some people feel that Los Angeles is too far away, so they plan to hide with relatives in nearby counties.

The most troublesome thing is that several elders have lived in Fengye Village for generations and have deep feelings for it. Moreover, the most feared thing for old people is not being able to return to their roots. They want to die in Fengye Village.

They themselves did not want to leave, but they forced their children and grandchildren to go. However, their children and grandchildren were reluctant to leave their ancestors at home and escape alone.

Han Hongzhi sighed: "Qingyun, can you wait a few more days? At least wait for those eleven families."

Han Qingyun calculated the time it would rain and nodded, "Okay, then we'll set off early on the 12th. Uncle Village Chief, no matter how many people want to leave the day after tomorrow, I won't wait any longer."

The weather has been good these days, so if we set off on the 12th, we can just make it to the Wanxian Mountain Cave to take shelter before the heavy rain.

Han Hongzhi said quickly, "No more waiting, no more waiting. Good words can't persuade a damned ghost. We just need to make sure our consciences are clear. I'll go back and inform those who are leaving. Tell them to pack up everything in the next two days. Don't let anything else happen before you leave."

"Well, thank you for your hard work, village chief."

During the two extra days of waiting, Han Qingyun returned to Fengxi College and resigned from his position at the college, and also arranged for Han Huaijin to withdraw from the school.

Although the dean was reluctant to part with a teacher like Han Qingyun, and even more reluctant to part with a talented student like Han Huaijin, he had vaguely heard some things about the county.

He himself was considering whether to leave Wuping County first, so he did not try to persuade Han Qingyun to resign.
