Chapter 052: Drought


Chapter 052 More than half a month has passed since the drought broke up, and for most of the month, there has only been a little rain sporadically.Luo Youli's wound is probably healed now, but it's itchy when the scar is formed.The crops in the field have already died of drought, and even if it rains, it will not help.Now all Luo Ran knows is that the county where Qingyang Town is located and several surrounding counties are in a severe drought, and I heard that there are displaced people everywhere.There were also displaced people from the north, who swarmed in.Later, the town closed the gates to prevent the homeless people from entering, and those people began to go to the village in droves.Burning, killing and looting is worse than the bandits in Busan.The last time the bandits came into the village, they mainly grabbed food, and as long as they were obedient, they didn't hurt anyone.Instead, the homeless people grabbed things desperately, and when they entered the village, they could even pull out the sweet potatoes in the firewood ashes, leaving no one to live.The villagers of the village who were robbed must have resisted, and the last shot was out of control.The villagers of Luojiazhuang were worried all day long, for fear that those people would come to rob the village.The village chief also secretly instructed the big guys to prepare more weapons on weekdays, preferably iron.In ancient times, weapons were strictly restricted.Even metals such as iron and copper have restrictions, stipulating that ordinary people cannot hide metals privately, except for the metal on agricultural tools, ordinary blacksmiths are not allowed to cast weapons.On this day, the gong specially designed in the village to notify the occurrence of a major event sounded again, and it was struck tightly and urgently, which showed that something important had happened.The village chief said solemnly: "I just heard the news, our county has been in chaos.The town was not immune to it, and several large granaries in the town were robbed by homeless people.After the displaced people burned and looted, they scattered into the village, and the government sent troops to suppress the riots.The people who passed by Li Village hurriedly escaped from the village, so they quickly told the news to several villages.There is no one left in Qianli Village now.Our village is separated by two villages from Qianli Village.Our village is not safe now.The people of Willow Village were already preparing to flee and head east towards Fucheng. ”From Luojiazhuang to the town, they will pass through Liushu Village, Shanggang Village, and Qianli Village before they will reach the town.At this time, the village chief paused and said, "If there are relatives in our village, go to the relatives, and the others should quickly pack up their things and escape."

If they don't escape, a large number of displaced officers and soldiers will not be able to kill any of them.If you don't want to leave, I'll say that, if you leave, you can quickly pack up and leave tonight, and you will be a person who has left your hometown in the future, and if you can come back, you will come back, and it is best if you can't come back to live.The people who left will gather at the head of the village tonight," said the village chief, and it seemed that his back was not so straight.Think about it, the village that has lived for decades has its roots here, and it will be willing to leave for a while.After the village chief finished speaking, the surrounding villagers began to react, and only their minds remained: Qianli Village has been slaughtered, Qianli Village has been slaughtered, Qianli Village has been slaughtered, and there are still relatives there.The Luo family is too, although they have been separated, they are still together when they flee.Old Man Luo led his sons and gave a few orders, and they all began to pack up the necessary things.It's noon, just after lunch, and there's still a few hours left before the unitary hour.This time the cleaning was different from the last time, and Luo Youli's family could only take away a cart of things.Silver, grain, clothes, quilts, stuff too much, compress and compress.Luo Ran's family didn't have much food in the first place, so there was no need to worry about it, just bring all the dry goods prepared before.Thinking that it would be inconvenient to cook on the road in the future, Zheng made more than half of the wheat flour and cornmeal that he had at home into multigrain dry cakes, and half of the rice into rice balls, all wrapped in baskets.It's the ones that are used, it's too big and takes up a lot of space.I brought a few quilts, a change of clothes, clothes for autumn, and even Zheng took a few sets of cotton clothes.Although the weather is still very hot now, but the summer has passed, it is autumn, and if it does not rain, the temperature is still high, and if it rains, it will cool down soon, and you can't catch a cold at that time.Zheng prepared everyone's clothes.There are also pots and pans, and there will definitely be no special place to eat outside in the future, so you can only set up pots and stoves to cook.Fortunately, after Luo Youli was good last time, he went to the blacksmith's house in the nearby village to order a few pots, and Luo Ran also specially asked two more small pots for modern picnics.At that time, Zheng also said in his heart that his daughter was throwing money, but this time it just came in handy.Luo Ran also packed up a lot of herbs, including those for colds, fever, cough and other commonly used ones.A small part of these medicines were picked by Luo Ran before and did not go to the town to sell them, and most of them were bought from the doctor's house when he took the medicine for Luo Youli.Each person carries another package with clothes and food, etc.By the way, and weapons.It took a few people a lot of thought, and it took a few taels of silver to secretly get the blacksmith to make a few daggers.The blacksmith was reluctant at first, but the farm tools he had made before had not been sold, and no one had bought them these days, so the family was about to run out of food, and he secretly promised to beat a few daggers under the heavy money.At Luo Ran's request, Luo Youli also made two bows and arrows, and there was no birch and hemlock wood for the bow, and the quality was obviously not good.Arrows are simply sharpened bamboo.If you shoot with a full bow, you can shoot someone to death.What Luo Ran actually wanted was a small bow and crossbow, which was powerful and long-range, and could be hidden and tied to his arm.But the bow and arrow are better than nothing.Luo Ran quickly packed up, there is still an hour before the unitary time, look at this and that, I am not reluctant.Zheng thought about how good it would be if there was no such drought after the separation, and couldn't help but cry.Luo Youli was about to go to see if the main house had been cleaned up, but seeing that Zheng was so sad, he had to ask a few children to go to the main house to help clean up and coax Zheng himself.Luo Ran also knew that Luo Youli wanted to whisper to the Zheng family, so they went to the main room with each other.After all, although the family is separated, at this time, it will not hinder their own family.As Luo Ran expected, the main house was really still being cleaned up.Like the Zheng family, the Qin family wanted to take everything with them, but unlike the Zheng family, they decisively gave up some things, but loaded a lot of things, and there were still a lot of things left that were not loaded in the car.Imagine trying to flee and load everything in a cart, it's impossible.Luo Ran saw that the Qin clan was struggling to plug the plug, and he was planning to install another car.I couldn't help but say to Old Man Luo: "Grandpa, my father asked me to see if there is anything I want to help with My family can't fit a lot of things, so my father and mother ruthlessly brought the necessary things directly, thinking that they will not be dragged down by things when the time comes." ”When Old Man Luo saw Luo Ran coming, he knew that the second family had been cleaned up, so let's see if it was cleaned up here.Hearing Luo Ran's words again, he saw that the Qin family's stuffed car was going to load another car, and hurriedly stopped it.This is to run for your life, where did so many people and strength come from to push two cars.4209051:
