A massive famine! The whole family travels through time together, and with their spatial abilities,
Chapter 8: Weapon Distribution, Two Brothers Cause Trouble
Su Yunhai took a sip of tea and said with a solemn expression, "There is a wealthy man in the village named Zhang Shiwen. He used to do business in the northern border region, and this time he brought back some important news."
"Just as you said, Hanshan Pass has been breached by the Northern Barbarians. After receiving the news, he immediately brought his family back to tell the village the news and urge everyone to escape quickly."
"I also took the opportunity to tell the village about the news you brought back, hoping they can make a decision soon."
They were certainly not the first group to flee the famine.
There is strength in numbers, and that's what makes a deterrent.
Su Yunhai understood this principle well and never thought that his family could escape unscathed on their journey of fleeing famine.
Shen Shuli's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
These are things that weren't written in the plot.
She never expected that there would be people in the village who had come back from the border, and she didn't know how many people in the village would be able to make up their minds to go with her after they found out.
I'm afraid these villagers will refuse to leave, just like the ending the storyline suggests.
"And what was their reaction?"
Su Yunhai shook his head, "The village chief and the clan elders haven't made a decision yet. They're all reluctant to abandon their homes and fields. However, Zhang Shiwen's relatives have already decided to go with them."
“I also told them my thoughts that I would go with them. They will set off early in three days, so we don’t have much time left.”
Shen Yuehua thought of something and grabbed Su Yunhai's arm, saying, "I want to ask my parents what they think. If possible, I want to persuade them to come with me."
Over the years, the Shen family has taken good care of the young couple, and Shen Yuehua is worried about leaving them behind.
“That’s exactly what I was thinking. Tomorrow you and A-Li go back, and I’ll take the second son out to buy some things. By the way, make a list of everything you need to buy, and I’ll try to buy it all,” Su Yunhai instructed.
Shen Shuli, who had been thinking about the household registration issue, reminded him, "Dad, don't forget that my household registration problem hasn't been solved yet."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it all tomorrow."
The three brothers, sitting in the corner facing the wall, listened to their conversation in a completely bewildered state.
The eldest son, Su Chang'an, couldn't hold back any longer and turned around to ask, "Father, Mother, what are you trying to do with this talk of the Northern Barbarians breaking through the city and fleeing south to escape famine?"
The couple then realized they hadn't told their son and daughter-in-law about fleeing the famine.
Su Yunhai glanced at his eldest son indifferently and then recounted the events of war, drought, and refugee displacement to his sons.
"Our place will soon fall. We've already decided to leave in three days."
Su Chang'an's eyes turned red with anxiety.
"Father, her reputation is already ruined in Qingzhou, how can you listen to her! Besides, little sister Wanwan is going to take us to Qingzhou. She is the eldest daughter of the Lin family. If it were true, would she not tell us?"
“Yes, Father!” Su Ding’an chimed in, looking at Shen Shuli provocatively and analyzing the situation with great confidence.
"Father, I think she's just worried that if our whole family goes to Qingzhou to enjoy a life of luxury without her, she'll have nowhere to go. That's why she made up such a ridiculous excuse to make sure my little sister can't contact us! What a heartless woman!"
Su Ping'an nodded repeatedly, "Father, I think my brothers are right!"
Su Yunhai glanced at the three brothers and realized that what his daughter said was absolutely true.
These brats are generally quite obedient.
Normally, I would never dare to disobey him.
But as soon as it gets involved with their daughter, these brats will definitely disagree.
Su Yunhai stretched his shoulders, said nothing, and immediately unbuckled his belt.
Swish!Swish!Swish!
Before Su Yunhai could even pull out his belt, the three brothers vanished in a flash, not forgetting to drag their wives, children, and elderly relatives along with them...
Shen Shuli watched the few paper figures flee in disarray and chuckled for a while.
"Dad, this is the spring water I saved for you. Drink it quickly."
Su Yunhai's eyes lit up upon hearing this. He had been craving this drink for eight years, and he never expected to be able to drink it again.
"Haha, then I won't be polite."
He had long noticed the changes in his daughter and daughter-in-law.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have accepted it so readily.
"Dad, these are things I got in the modern world. Pick some that you can use for self-defense." Shen Shuli took out different models of guns and melee weapons from her spatial storage.
"Wow, daughter, you can even get these?" The couple were shocked as they looked at the things their daughter had placed on the table.
Shen Shuli didn't plan to tell them that she had chosen to join the army after her parents disappeared and that she dealt with vicious criminals every day, so as not to upset them.
"Hehe, these are for self-defense, obtained through special channels. Hurry up and choose one, Mom, you choose one too."
The couple understood their daughter's intention.
They're about to flee famine, and their daughter wants them to get used to these weapons as soon as possible so they can protect themselves.
No need to be polite.
The two chose a handgun that suited them for long-range attacks, and also to hide it on their bodies.
Su Yunhai also chose a heavier version of the Tang sword.
Shen Shuli then took out the corresponding bullets from her spatial storage and gave them to the two of them as spares.
It was getting late, so the three of them went to rest.
The next day.
Shen Yuehua took Shen Shuli back to her parents' home, Baishan Village.
It is 30 li away from Peach Blossom Village.
After leaving the village and finding no one around, Shen Shuli led a horse out of her spatial storage and headed straight for Baishan Village with her mother.
The brothers Su Chang'an and Su Ding'an didn't believe Su Yunhai's words at all and refused to go out with him no matter what.
Su Yunhai could only take his second son and drive a mule cart out to buy supplies.
The father and son decided to travel to a more distant county town, which would take them two or three days, as they could no longer buy enough food in Qingyun City.
As soon as I stepped outside, I found a large crowd gathered outside the Su family's house.
Su Yunhai could roughly guess what these people's purpose was.
"What are you doing around here?"
The villagers quickly offered an explanation.
"Dahai, you said last night that you were going to another county to buy grain today. Could you take us with you?"
"That's right, whether we go to flee the famine or not, our family's food supplies are almost gone, and we can't get any food in Qingyun City at all..."
"Brother Hai, I've decided to go with you guys. I also want to stock up on more food."
"Alright, I'll wait at the village entrance. You guys hurry back and get the cart. You'd better bring some weapons for self-defense." Su Yunhai agreed with a smile and gave a friendly reminder.
*
The brothers Su Chang'an and Su Ding'an peered through the crack in the door at the family of three who had already walked away, filled with resentment.
Su Ding'an puffed up his cheeks in anger: "Little sister was right, this fake heiress is a menace! Before she came, Father doted on us the most, but she's only been here for a day, and he only has eyes for that newcomer, treating the three of us like dirt... Big brother, don't you have any thoughts about this?"
"Of course we have ideas... First, we must report the situation at home to our younger sister. It would be best if she could come back in person to expose the true face of Shen Shuli, this scourge!"
"Secondly, she's trying to persuade Dad to take our whole family away; we must stop her!"
Su Chang'an pondered for a moment and said, "Perfect timing. While she and Father are away, let's go door to door these next few days and tell the whole village about the bad things this scourge has done, so that the villagers can come and persuade Father!"
Su Ding'an thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, brother, let's get started!"
