If Yue Jiuyue's family didn't specifically look into the situation in the village, they wouldn't know anything. After all, they lived far away, and with the sound of the rain pouring down, the sounds of houses collapsing in the distant village wouldn't carry very far.
Lin Chaobei only found out on the third day that houses had collapsed in the village. He couldn't sit still and dragged Lin Chaonan to the village chief's house to inquire. Fortunately, it happened during the day and no one was hurt.
The torrential rain that had been falling for three days showed no signs of abating and was instead intensifying. Even if Lin Chaobei and the others knew nothing about what Yue Jiuyue had said, the fact that such heavy rain had continued for three days without stopping was causing widespread anxiety.
Now that they'd gone to the village chief's house, Lin Chaonan and the others would naturally tell the clan chief and village chief what Yue Jiuyue had said, just in case. It would be best if nothing happened, but if it did, at least they'd be prepared. If all else failed, they could just escape. Their village's mountains weren't high, but the neighboring counties all had high mountains. Although the distance was a bit far, compared to their lives, a few hundred miles was nothing.
Seeing that the two brothers were still worried when they returned, Yue Jiuyue couldn't comfort them anymore. After all, she herself was at a loss. Her family was large and powerful, and she hadn't even had time to enjoy the 300 acres of land she had just bought.
Oh, it doesn't seem like much. After all, nothing has been planted in the fields yet. The crops planted in the spring were either harvested early due to drought and lack of water, or the remaining crops were harvested due to locust plagues. It's really clean.
Well, Yue Jiuyue's mood improved slightly, after all, she really didn't want to flee the famine!
But then she thought about all the efforts she had made before, which might have been in vain, and she still couldn't avoid having to flee the famine. Recalling the pain between her eyebrows and the thought of losing her life, Yue Jiuyue's mood suddenly worsened again.
Alas! Changing one's fate is never that easy!
"Mother, shall we leave now?"
Lin Chaonan finally couldn't hold back any longer and said what he had been holding back for three days.
After Yue Jiuyue said those things, he couldn't help but want to leave as soon as possible, but he had many concerns at the time, such as Liu Shi who needed to rest, Xiao Man'er who was still young, the fact that he had just bought 300 acres of land, and the reluctance to leave his homeland... Everyone needed to think.
In short, he has given everyone three days to think about whether or not they want to leave.
Lin Chaonan's words made the already somber atmosphere even heavier.
leave?
It's easier said than done; leaving is never as easy as it sounds.
Let's not even talk about the 300 acres of land the family just bought. Anyway, it's not like they can just run away. When they come back and find out that the land deeds are still valid, these three hills will still belong to their family.
But what about the chickens and rabbits they raise at home? What about all the grain in the cellar? If they take it all with them, wouldn't that be blatantly telling everyone that they have plenty of food and everyone should come and steal it?
"The chickens and rabbits can all be slaughtered and made into smoked meat or dried. As for the grain, why don't we sell some to the villagers? We can't travel alone. It will be safer if we have the villagers with us. Plus, if we sell the grain to them, they should be grateful to us and take better care of us."
