Chapter 212
Chapter 212 Departure
The Xia family was busy.
After discovering that the Xia family seemed to have a special way to buy food, the villagers also came to them and asked the Xia family to give them some food.
After much deliberation, the Xia family finally agreed.
For Xia Daohua, she can buy as much food as she wants.
The difficulty lies in how to "transport".
However, the villagers did not ask the Xia family to help buy more grain. They only wanted to share some of the grain the Xia family had bought. This saved Xia Daohua the trouble of covering up.
The Xia family’s granary was soon divided up by the villagers who came to visit.
Xia Daohua smiled secretly and waited until the old couple found her. Then she "asked someone for help" again and bought a batch of grain for the Xia family.
The vitality of Beiguan Town gradually recovered.
However, after a brief period of calm, Xiao Silu led his army back.
Xiao Silu, Xiao Lubuhua and Xiao Liyou are all relatives of the same clan, within the five degrees of mourning.
But Xiao Silu is Xiao Liyou's man.
The trust between Xiao Silu and Xiao Lubuhua was not very solid, and because of this, they had suffered some losses at the hands of Da Chu before.
But whether it was because he couldn't swallow this humiliation or for some other reason, Xiao Silu actually made a comeback a month after being defeated.
Beiguan Town was looted again, and Beiguan Village was "passed by" again.
But this time, the villagers had gained some experience in hiding. Most of them ran into the mountains, and a few hid in secret tunnels.
This time Xiao Silu did not burn the houses, but allowed his soldiers to enter the village and loot. Many families lost food and livestock.
Logically speaking, the mules and donkeys of the Xia family should not be spared. But Xia Daohua secretly hid them in the storage area of the space supermarket. She only told her family that she hid them in a cave deep in the mountains.
The family was skeptical, but as the enemy was about to cross the border, they had no time to hesitate, so they believed her and followed most of the people in the village into the mountains.
Xiao Silu's subordinates wreaked havoc in the village and left behind many corpses who died in "accidents". In fact, it was Jinyi Yunqi who was doing bad things in secret.
However, the Jinyi Yunqi were few in number and had the responsibility of protecting Li Gan, Gu Mingzhen, and Gu Mingzhen's two younger generations. They did not dare to attract too much attention and could only do some bad things out of the blue.
Xiao Silu's subordinates were busy attacking cities and only stayed in Beiguan Village for less than an hour.
But the damage caused this hour was no less than the previous one.
The villagers hid in the mountains until dark, then they mustered up the courage to return to the village, carrying the elderly and children with them.
When I returned to the village, I realized that all my efforts during this period were in vain.
Although everyone had gained experience from avoiding the war, a lot of things that they could not take away or hid well were still destroyed when they were escaping.
After this incident, the villagers became more jealous of the Xia family, thinking that the Xia family not only had connections, but also had wise people.
Some families also planned to move their entire families like the Xia family did, moving away from this place where wars were going on every other day, and finding a quiet and peaceful inland county town to stay.
However, Lizheng Wang and Juren Feng did not plan to move and were willing to continue staying in Beiguan Village.
Xia Daohua was a little puzzled. In the two wars, these two families in Beiguan Village suffered the most property losses, but in the end, they were the ones who least wanted to leave...
Those who wanted to move away were all families in a similar situation to the Xia family.
He has sons and daughters, young and old, and compared with the ordinary peasants who can't even have enough food to eat, he has some family assets, but in fact his family wealth is not abundant, and he can't afford such repeated trips.
As the saying goes, “A broken home is worth a fortune”!
The poorer you are, the more difficult it is to move.
However, the Xia family was determined, but the other families who were also planning to move were not so resolute. In particular, there were two people with bad tempers who were still wavering and hesitant.
After the Xia family returned to the old house, they saw that the damage to the house was not too serious, and they felt relieved.
Old Man Xia didn't care about anything else and ran to the barn to check on the big blue mule and the little black donkey. Seeing the barn was empty, he felt empty in his heart as well.
Seeing this, Xia Daohua did not try to comfort him, but ran to the backyard, released the mule, mule cart, and donkey from the space, and shouted, "Master, come quickly!"
The old man was feeling sad when he suddenly heard the sound of a mule and a donkey braying, and heard his granddaughter calling him. He quickly pulled himself together and went to the backyard. When he saw his darlings, all his sadness and grief disappeared in an instant.
He didn't even bother to ask Xia Daohua when the animal hiding in the cave ran back to his backyard.
Fearful and worried, the Xia family decided not to wait until after the Chinese New Year, let alone the beginning of next spring. They would tidy up the house now and leave immediately.
As for where to go, we went to the place Li Gan recommended, Ping'an County, Jixiang County. Just hearing the name of the place, it felt much safer than Bohai County and Beiguan Town.
Doctor Wang and Li Gan were both ready to leave.
However, Doctor Wang returned to Beiguan Town with his disciples, while Xie Jiabao returned to Xiejia Village.
Li Gan took Gu Mingzhen and the Jinyi Yunqi and prepared to return to Beijing.
Xia Daohua thought about it and finally decided not to suggest going with Li Gan's Jinyi Yunqi.
Although if they could travel with Jinyi Yunqi, they would not have to worry about the danger from "cars, ships, shops, and other traffic jams" on the road, but Li Gan and his group might bring other risks to their family.
The Xia family finally set off after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
There were two families in the village who were determined to move as well, and joined the Xia family.
The two families, one is surnamed Hu and the other is surnamed Zhao.
The two families had a good reputation in the village, but because they lived not very far away, they did not have much contact with the Xia family. The Xia family did not specifically persuade them to move out like they did with their closer relatives and friends.
But after the second time when Xiao Silu's men "passed by" Beiguan Village, they dared not stay in Beiguan Village anymore. So they sold their land, bought carriages and horses, and came to greet the Xia family, hoping to travel together.
The Xia family was worried about their safety on the road, so they would naturally be happy to have someone traveling with them.
On the day of August 16, the Xia family, the Hu family, and the Zhao family, taking what property they could take away with them, along with everyone in the family, young and old, set out on the road to the interior of the country.
Everyone in Beiguan Village came to see them off.
They also agreed that if the Xia, Hu and Zhao families were living well in Jixiang County, they would send a message to the folks in Beiguan Village so that they could be happy too.
There is a saying in Beiguan Town, "A poor family may be rich on the road", so when relatives or friends visit you, you have to give them some gifts.
The things the villagers gave were all real.
Some people gave copper coins, some gave straw sandals, some gave insoles, and most people gave fruits picked from the mountains, vegetables picked from their own gardens, and cakes made at home...
All three families agreed with tears in their eyes, and set off with excitement and mixed feelings, carrying the vegetables and wheat cakes given by the villagers.
The chapter has been replaced, good night, sweet dreams, see you tomorrow.
