A hurried male voice came over, and when I listened carefully, it seemed to be Yu Qinghai's voice.
After a while, Yu Qinghai came out from the corner and was finally seen by Yu Qingqing and others.
Yu Qingqing was also very surprised to see Yu Qinghai, after all, he came back early today.
After Yu Qinghai arrived in front of Yu Qingqing and the others, he panted and said, "Qing'er, I heard from mother that you were weeding there. I encountered something in town. You should go home first. I'll talk to you all when we're all here. We sold out the things in town very quickly today, so I came back without delay."
Yu Qinghai planned to tell his family about the soldiers he encountered in the town and the possibility of war.
After hearing this, Yu Qingqing felt that there was something behind her brother's words. She did not ask immediately in a hurry. She picked up the things and walked home.
The atmosphere along the way seemed a little surprised and no one spoke.
When Yu Qingqing arrived home, she had already seen her father and Village Chief He Qiang. The others were probably still busy working in the fields and had not returned yet.
The lunch for everyone is almost ready, and I guess everyone will come home one after another soon.
Seeing his father and Village Chief He Qiang in the yard, Yu Qingqing was even more surprised. What had happened that called them back?
After seeing that everyone was there, Yu Qinghai called the whole family into the house.
Everyone was curious about Yu Qinghai's seriousness, so he said gravely, "I went to the town and found quite a few more soldiers at the gate. After asking, I learned that His Royal Highness Prince Chen had already led his troops out to battle. I don't know the details, but the people in the town looked a little off. It might just be my guess, but I think we should be cautious and prepare for the worst."
As soon as Yu Qinghai finished speaking, everyone's faces changed. He was almost saying that he wanted to go to war.
Seeing that his son's expression did not seem fake, Yu Qingshu believed it to about 70%.
When Village Chief He Qiang heard this, his face was filled with even more frustration. They had finally found a place to stay, and everyone finally saw hope.
Seeing that Village Chief He Qiang looked a little off, Yu Qingshu said calmly, "Brother He, don't worry! Even if something does happen, we'll continue to reclaim the land. We were originally planning to grow more food, and it's even more necessary now. You can just go ahead and reclaim the land, and we'll let you know about other things. Of course, if you have your own plans, we respect that."
Yu Qingshu was also worried that He Qiang was worried about the land reclamation, so he just made the final decision and finished what he said.
Sure enough, He Qiang's expression eased a lot after hearing this.
But he did start to think about what would happen next. After all, if there really was a war, it would be the common people who would suffer.
Yu Qinghai's words also made everyone fall into deep thought. After all, this news was most likely true and could not be false.
But they don’t know what to do if the war really breaks out.
When Yu Qingqing heard that a war was going to happen, she did not show any panic, but instead became a little calmer.
Since the facts cannot be changed, the most important thing is to try your best to protect your own safety.
Yu Qingqing looked at Yu Qingshu's worried face, and she felt uncomfortable. She stepped forward and held Yu Qingshu's rough hands, then said calmly: "Dad, Mom, don't be afraid. Even if there really is a war, we can't retreat. We have finally had a stable life and can't be defeated easily.
My daughter has an idea. I'm not sure if it's feasible, but I wanted to share it with everyone for feedback. I've observed the situation here before. We're surrounded by mountains. If a war really breaks out, and everyone chooses to hide in the mountains, the risks are not small.
I think the soil here is pretty good. From now on, each family can dig some space under their house to store food and hide people."
Yu Qingqing's words surprised everyone present.
Everyone looked at Yu Qingqing, thinking about what she had just said, and a hint of joy appeared on their faces.
If this can really be done, there is no need to worry about someone entering the village. At least a lot of risks can be reduced.
Everyone was silent at this moment, wondering whether what Yu Qingqing said was feasible.
Yu Qingshu was the first to clap his hands and make the decision. He naturally supported his daughter and believed in her 100% unconditionally.
Then the others nodded in agreement, thinking that this was feasible and at least worth a try.
Seeing everyone nodding in agreement, Yu Qingshu said happily, "I also think what Qing'er said makes sense. We are surrounded by mountains. Going there would probably just feed the wolves, tigers and leopards. It would be better for us to find other ways to survive. Let's do this. I will personally discuss this with Village Chief Liu."
He Qiang said that there was no problem and he now trusts his family very much.
Yu Qingqing emphasized, "Dad, don't worry. We must tell Village Chief Liu about this. But we need to speak quietly and not publicly. When you speak to the village chief, ask each family to choose a representative.
Those people must ensure that this information is not leaked, otherwise we will be at great risk. Furthermore, we must choose a relatively secluded location to ensure safety. There are many rivers here, so we must first choose a dry spot to avoid digging into a river later.
Yu Qingqing simply repeated some of the details to Yu Qingshu.
Yu Qingshu immediately understood and said that he understood.
Then the group dispersed and went about their own business.
Lunch was ready at this time, and He Qiang went over there to call people back to eat.
The whole courtyard was filled with the aroma of food, which made people feel hungry just by smelling it.
Yu Qingqing and her family naturally ate together, after all, the food was not bad.
Yu Qingshu brought all the food for the family into the house.
Since there were no extra tables, I could only let my mother-in-law and father-in-law eat first, and then they would take turns eating.
But Hua Manhong felt embarrassed to eat first, so he and Yu Qingshu kept refusing each other.
Yu Qingqing couldn't stand it anymore. If she continued to be polite, the food would get cold.
She took a bowl of porridge and stuffed it directly into Hua Qinglu's mouth, saying, "Mom, let's just stand and eat. You can sit down with grandpa and grandma. Don't keep making excuses. It's not good for your stomach if the food gets cold later."
After Yu Qingqing finished speaking, the two people who had just refused stopped.
Yu Qingshu looked at his daughter with approval and felt that his daughter was getting smarter and smarter.
