Chapter 117 The parents on the road to escape 15
After part of the land was contracted out, Yuan Xi's family worked hard for two days.
On the fourth day, they started packing.
All the things left at Qi Hu's house were loaded into the truck. Yuan Xi and others drove five ox carts and donkey carts back from the village entrance. Because most of the villagers were in the fields, they didn't meet anyone else on the way home from the village entrance. Saved a lot of time.
"I feel like five cars are not enough."
Yuan Xi looked at how full the car was, scratched his head, and turned to ask his second brother, who also had a headache: "How about we buy a few more cars?"
Zhang Yuanlin rolled his eyes, "You think you're just buying groceries, and if you want to buy a few more cars, just say how many people in our family know how to drive. Five cars is enough."
Yuan Xi counted and found that he had also specially trained the rest of his family for this day. All four sons, two eldest nephews, three grandnephews plus himself, ten, which is quite a lot.
Seeing his brother turning his fingers there, Zhang Yuanlin said, "What's wrong? You don't plan to rest along the way."
Yuan Xi retracted his fingers and put his hands on his hips. Indeed, it was safer for the two of them to take turns driving to avoid fatigue driving.
With that in mind, Yuan Xi still felt a little headache looking at the packed cars. I was still thinking about whether to use the space to cheat, but it was too obvious. I was distressed when I turned around and found that my eldest daughter-in-law had loaded all the pots and pans at home into the car.
His eyelids twitched, and he felt as if he had found the reason. After he moved his own things up, he really didn't pay attention to what other people packed.
"Boss, please wait a moment. This one needs to be moved too?"
Yuan Xi asked, pointing to a wooden cabinet.
This is an escape, you really want to move.
The eldest daughter-in-law hesitated for a long time and couldn't say a complete sentence. The main reason was that the cabinet was her dowry and she was a little reluctant to part with it.
"Take it off quickly."
"Forget about this tattered quilt. Just take it off and bring a new one. Take off this one too, and don't take this one with you. Let's travel light."
Next, Yuan Xi experienced what it means to lose a house worth a thousand dollars. They put everything on top and wanted to move the whole house even to the foundation.
In desperation, Yuan Xi started to watch the whole process and went through everything, eliminating most of the unnecessary things.
On the seventh day, the whole village gathered at the entrance of Zhangjia Village.
Five cars of Yuan Xi's family came over, which really shocked everyone. In addition, there were also a donkey cart of Qi Hu's family behind them. Six cars were lined up in a row. The patriarch couldn't help but take a few more glances. His family also There is only one ox cart and one donkey cart, which is the only one in the village.
Some villagers pulled carts manually, and some didn't even have carts. They pushed wheelbarrows and carried several large burdens. They looked at Yuan Xi's family with envy in their eyes.
That is to say, we are about to escape from famine now. We must unite as one and no one will do anything wrong, otherwise at least half of the people in the village will suffer from pinkeye.
"Ahem, okay, everyone, look around, are everyone here? If they are, we'll set off."
The patriarch was standing in the car. There were so many people below that it was impossible for him to count them all. He could only name them one by one.
He counted them, frowning, and looked towards the village. There were a few missing households.
"Where are Liuhe's family? There's also Zhang Muqiao's family and Lao Gou's family. Where are they?"
One villager raised his hand and replied: "I saw them going to the fields to cut grain."
Neighbors of these three households echoed, "They don't seem to be planning to leave. I heard they are going to join relatives and friends in the county."
Time is running out, the food in the fields has not been harvested, and the rest can only be kept.
When he heard that they were harvesting crops in the field, the patriarch's face turned ugly. When he heard that they planned to go to the county seat, he called them idiots. Even the wealthy households in the county town have fled. There is no use for them to go to the county town.
"No wait, let's set off and follow the queue. Don't mess around."
The clan leader simply gave up on them. He couldn't persuade them to die, and the rest was up to them.
The team from Zhangjiacun set off and walked further and further away, gradually losing sight of people. The three families who stayed in the village sent people to check, and when they saw that they were all gone, several people laughed out loud.
"Hurry, hurry, the food in the fields is all ours."
"Not only that, the things in their house also belong to us."
"It's agreed that the three of us will share it equally."
The three families stayed behind with premeditation.
"They have all gone to flee, why don't we leave?" Some people felt uneasy.
"What are you afraid of? Sell everything that needs to be sold. Once you have the money, let's go to the city."
"But all the rich people in the city have left, so..."
"Hey, old dog, why are you so cowardly? Rich people are rich and cherish their lives, but we poor devils who eat one meal without finishing the next meal can be like them. The patriarch is also timid. There is water and food in the village, so we We are still living well, the drought is just that."
"It's just a good escape, but it just so happens that it gives us an advantage."
Yuan Xi looked back from a distance. He always felt as if he heard laughter. He must have heard it wrong. Could it be that the people from the three families who chose to stay were laughing? How could someone be so stupid? Then he was a little unsure that they could choose to stay, and he didn't seem to be that smart.
Leave behind these people who are destined to never see each other again.
Yuan Xi recalled the planned itinerary in his mind. In the early stage, he could follow the village chief's decision and leave Xizhou first.
The situation in Zhangjiacun is much better now than in memory. Every household has food, and there is no need to worry about food in a short period of time. If you leave early, you can avoid the group of refugees and avoid risking your life.
The two major problems were solved at once. Yuan Xi leaned against the carriage with peace of mind and yawned. He got up too early and was a little sleepy.
People in Zhangjiacun set out before dawn. As the sun rose, the temperature began to rise. In order to prevent people in the village from suffering from heat stroke, the patriarch found a shady place for everyone to rest during the period when the sun was the strongest. There was shade from trees, but the heat was pervasive and it was very hot inside the carriage.
Yuan Xi took out the water bag and added a cooling pill to it, as the name suggests, to prevent heatstroke. This is a cooling pill that he borrowed from the world of cultivation and combined with traditional Chinese medicine to make pills. It is different from refining pills. He made these cooling pills one by one. It always feels like rubbing mud, but the ones he uses are all from space. Good material, great effect.
Before setting off, he added one to the water bags of other members of the family. Of course, the excuse was that Dr. Chen of Huichun Hall did it.
After the pills dissolved, Yuan Xi took the water bag and poured some to the clan leader. He was too old to get a heat stroke.
"Clan leader, take a few sips. The medicine made by Dr. Chen of Huichun Hall is added to it to prevent heatstroke."
He was kind-hearted, and the clan leader did not refuse. There was no medicinal smell, but a faint sweet aroma, and it also tasted sweet when drunk.
"Sweet, a bit like honey water."
The patriarch commented.
Yuan Xi took a sip and felt happy. This was an improved version specially developed by him. It had no medicinal smell and was just like a sugar pill.
With his talent, he is also a master of alchemy in the world of cultivation. Thinking of this, he still feels a little regretful, when can he go to the real world of cultivation.
Wuba said that it was a beautiful thing to think about. Only senior employees can go into this big world, and a novice has a big heart.
