Chen Li shook her head, "This is an opportunity given to me by the old man. It is a room for storing things. He said it can help our family survive the disaster year smoothly."
After saying that, he put the thing in his hand back and took it out again. He repeated this several times before Shen Changshan and Lin Cuicui got used to it.
Shen Changshan asked seriously, "A-Li, did someone else take this away from you?"
Shen Li shook her head, "It can't be taken away."
Shen Changshan stood up and walked around the room, "So how big is your treasure?"
"It's as big as our main house."
"This way, we can store more food and water, so we can be safe when we need to escape famine in the future."
"Ali, you can't tell anyone else about this, not even your three brothers, understand?"
Lin Cuicui nodded in agreement, "This opportunity is too tempting. If one more person knows about Ah Li, it will be even more dangerous."
"Ali, you shouldn't have told me and your father."
"Mom and Dad, I believe you. I won't tell anyone else."
"Besides, we're bound to be short of food and water while fleeing the famine. I told my parents so that you can help me cover up for it when the time comes."
Shen Changshan felt a little ashamed, "Ali, we are the ones who are dragging you down."
Chen Li glanced at her father angrily, "Dad, we are a family, don't say such things."
"good."
Chen Li talked about letting her father and brother exercise, and her mother and sister-in-law should not be left behind.
The road to escape is difficult, and their family will be safer if they are in good health and have strong fighting power.
From then on, every morning, the Shen family father and son had to jog in the mountains for an hour, carry weights for half an hour, jog for half an hour, and then practice archery and hunting.
In fact, Chen Li didn't want to make them so tired, but if the family had no other income, they would probably be restless.
So let them learn archery, and sell the prey they catch for money, or use it as a snack at home.
As for her mother and sister-in-law, Chen Li asked them to run around the yard for half an hour every day.
For them, being able to hold out for half an hour might be a bit tiring, but what Chen Li wanted was that they had enough physical strength and the ability to protect themselves.
The drought in Yizhou can actually last for some time. The most serious problem is the influx of refugees from the south into Yizhou.
These refugees were not properly resettled in the south due to the inaction of the imperial court. The victims rioted, and many of them had been away from their homes for a year, and most of them had become mentally distorted.
Sometimes it was better to rob the villages clean than to be completely wiped out, but sometimes they were so cruel that they would even massacre the entire village.
Troubled times are approaching, and Chen Li doesn't know if she can protect them and keep them alive and well in the Luminous World.
Most importantly, Yizhou would be occupied by rogues and become a place for refugee uprisings.
So Chen Li had no choice but to migrate with the main group with her family.
So can we leave early?
When a disaster year comes, every town will check customs documents, so you can't just move your family if you want to.
The county town where they live is under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate. If the county magistrate agrees to relocate the whole family for no reason, then what about his political achievements?
In ancient times, population was also considered part of political achievements.
"Dad, let's make arrangements for the two older brothers tomorrow. Oh, and hurry up on the third brother's matter."
"We'll go to town later and inform our third brother to come home."
"OK."
"Daughter, do you want to take your uncle's family with you?"
Their maternal grandfather's family, uncles and aunts were very kind to their family, and if there were many people fleeing famine, it would provide them with greater security.
But the question is, how to convince them?
Shen Li looked at Shen Changshan, "Dad, my uncle and second uncle just finished planting the land not long ago. What are you going to tell them now?"
Shen Changshan frowned, then relaxed after a while: "Well, let's say your brother and I want to exercise, and ask our uncle to teach us archery."
Shen Li nodded, "Then you can do whatever you want."
Lin Cuicui had a faint smile on her face. She was very happy that her husband thought of her parents' home.
This way, when the family is together, there will be someone to take care of each other no matter what they do.
Shen Li and Shen Changshan went to the Lin family, borrowed an ox cart, and drove to the town.
It's not very convenient to always borrow a bullock cart. I'll see about buying a mule or a bull after a while, so that I can escape more easily.
Chen Li sat on the ox cart and slowly drove to the town. Shen Changsheng drove the ox cart and stopped in the alley near Ruyi Tower.
He asked Shen Li to watch the ox cart while he went to look for Shen Yuanzhou. A quarter of an hour later, he hurried back with a bag of snacks.
"Let's go, Ali. If you want to buy something, go buy it now."
Shen Changshan drove the ox cart to the only weapons shop in the town and picked out four long swords, five bows, and 50 arrows.
Chen Li also selected two small and portable daggers for her mother and sister-in-law.
While the famine is not too serious now, the price premiums on various items are not too high.
I can’t say anything else, but weapons will definitely be priced at a premium, so buying them now can save you a lot of money.
When the boss said fifteen taels of silver, Chen Li felt so painful!
Shen Changshan took out a twenty-liang silver ingot from his pocket to pay, and then the two of them were warmly escorted out the door by the waiter.
Chen Li calculated in her mind how much money was left at home, and well, there wasn't much left.
Shen Changshan went to buy 20 sheets of oil-paper cloth, four feet long and three feet wide, and two pairs of shoes and socks for each family member.
I went to the pharmacy and bought a few packets of cold medicine, safflower oil, and anti-diarrhea medicine. As for mugwort, mint and the like, there are plenty of them in the village. I just picked them up on the roadside and dried them.
I bought a lot of salt and sugar, but these things are limited. I went to several stores but couldn't buy much. From now on, I will take some back every time I come to town.
