Just as the Su family had packed up their belongings, the hunter Zhang Hu arrived and asked if they were leaving.
However, when he saw the situation in the Su family's yard, he also understood that the Su family was about to leave.
Just as the house was almost cleaned up, Grandpa Su asked Dashan and Qiuju to help the hunter.
The hunter has only a six-year-old son, Hu Zi, and an unmarried younger brother.
He must not be careful when packing up.
After Uncle Dashan and Aunt Qiuju left, Grandpa Su took everyone and put their luggage at the entrance of the village.
The cart followed the carriage, and Grandpa Su tied the cart to the carriage with a rope, which made pushing it easier.
There are a lot of miscellaneous things on the cart, and when there is an emergency, these are the first things that can be thrown away.
Donkey carts and horse carts mostly carry important things such as food and water.
There were already people at the village entrance, it was the village chief and his family.
There were two people with backpacks, they were the village ruffians, they wandered around the village all day, doing nothing, begging for food from one house and another.
His only advantage is that he doesn't steal or do anything unscrupulous, and he often helps villagers fight.
That's why the village chief tolerated them and didn't expel them from the village.
Seeing Grandpa Su and his family coming, the two of them were very sweet-talking.
He kept calling her Grandpa Su and Grandma Su, and even took out two candies from somewhere.
One piece was given to Xiao Zhuzi, and the other piece was given to Su Nanxing.
Su Nanxing didn't even have the right to refuse, because the tall man stuffed her into his arms and left.
Su Mu didn't have any candy, so why did he give him one? Su Nanxing was confused, but still opened it and ate it.
Su Mu explained with a smile: "When they were young, their grandparents often gave them meals.
So everyone in our family has received candy from them.
Of course, everyone else only has one, but Xiao Zhuzi always has one."
Su Nanxing nodded and asked curiously, "Where are their parents and relatives?"
Su Mu looked towards the north and said, "They all died in the war. The other relatives also had a hard time. It's good enough to give them a few bites of food on a regular basis."
Su Nanxing looked at the two men, one tall and one short, and only then realized that the Su family might be considered a relatively wealthy family in the village.
As other people arrived one after another, Su Nanxing finally understood how difficult it was for the villagers to survive.
Most families were carrying several large bags, and only a few had small carts.
There were only two or three people who had ox carts or donkey carts.
Most importantly, most of them are middle-aged and elderly people.
Even people of Dashan's age are rare.
Most of them are elderly people in their forties and fifties, and there are also teenagers.
But these teenagers were all treated like adults, pushing carts and carrying large vats and bags.
Su Nanxing stood beside the carriage, watching her children, who should have been in elementary and junior high school, struggling to shoulder the burden of the entire family.
And their fathers all died on a distant battlefield.
So the village chief's decision to escape was really a last resort.
If they hadn't left, Taohua Village might have slowly disappeared after this conscription.
However, not everyone in the village understood the village chief. Those who had money or many people decided to stay and see. After all, the conscription order had not really come down.
What if the news the village chief received was false?
What if I could use the money?
Even if it's all true, just hide in the mountains for a few days. There's really no need to flee from famine.
Countless people died along the way fleeing from famine.
There were even refugees and bandits. It was harder than climbing to the sky to reach the fiefdom of the King of Zhennan safely.
And even if we reach the south safely, we may not be able to settle down.
It’s better to stay in the village, at least it’s safe.
About half of the people decided to leave.
Those who stayed also came to the village entrance, and when they saw familiar people, they would always say a few words of advice.
Su Nanxing saw at a glance that Grandma Hua, who came to find him, was heading straight towards the Su family.
"Sister Lanhua, you have a scholar at home, why are you leaving?
After all, that little Mu kid can stay at home.
On this journey of fleeing famine, one person might die without warning, and the whole family might be killed.”
With a slap, Su Nanxing saw Grandma Su slap him in the face.
He applauded in his heart, so cool!
"Liu Xiaohua, you came to my house and cheated my grandson out of his money, and I haven't settled the score with you yet!
You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. I haven't beaten you in a long time, you deserve a beating again, right? "
Liu Xiaohua stood up from the ground, looked at Li Lanhua's hand raised again, and ran away quickly.
Originally, I wanted to keep the Su family. After all, Su Mu is a scholar, and maybe I can benefit from it in the future.
Who knew that Li Lanhua was a shrew who didn't appreciate their kindness and would die on the road of fleeing famine sooner or later.
Liu Xiaohua cursed the Su family in her heart and went back arrogantly.
I thought they were all stupid. How could conscription be free? They just wanted to ask for more.
If it really doesn't work, just hide in the mountains and wait until the storm has passed before coming out.
Liu Xiaohua felt that her family was very smart. After the villagers left, they could choose any land and house they wanted.
It was late at night, the breeze was blowing gently, and everyone quietly set off on their journey.
Su Nanxing looked at Taohua Village, where there was still some light, and said goodbye in his heart.
At the same time, I also felt a little confused about my future path.
Fortunately, now I can still follow the Su family and the people of Taohua Village.
Su Nanxing sat beside the carriage, missing modern people, even her colleagues and leaders.
Although they have nothing to do with human affairs, seeing them means a peaceful and normal world.
