Do you really have to leave your hometown?
But if they don't leave here, will they still have a chance to survive?
What would a family do if all the food and money in the house were robbed by refugees?
"You all know what's happening outside right now. Look at the crops we've all grown and the dried-up Sanli River. I bet most people's wells will be dry in a few days too!"
"So this time we're not just trying to avoid the refugees, we're also trying to find a way to survive and stay here. If the weather doesn't cooperate and there's no rain and no water, how long can you hold out?"
The gathered villagers fell silent because they understood that what the village chief said was the truth.
Even if the refugees had not arrived, they would not have been able to stay in their homeland for long.
"I've decided to leave tomorrow morning. If anyone is willing to join us, please pack your bags and get ready as soon as possible."
Shen Daniu asked, "Uncle Village Chief, where are we going?"
Shen Zhenyuan's eyes darkened as he slowly opened his mouth, "Southern Xuzhou, Qingzhou, and Puzhou have suffered floods. Jiangnan is relatively safe, but they may not be accepting refugees."
"Let's go north to Luozhou."
When Shen Zhenyuan was young, he traveled around and heard people talk about Luozhou. It was a vast place with abundant resources and was a good place for them to go.
"Okay, Uncle Village Chief, we'll listen to you."
"Yes, let's go together, and we can look after each other."
“Yes, yes!”
The main reason is that they don’t know what to do now, and Shen Zhenyuan was the village chief before, so they trust him.
Shen Zhenyuan nodded. "Those who want to go with you, go back and pack your things now. Don't take too much with you. We are going to escape famine and save our lives, not to have fun. Remember this."
Seeing everyone nodding, Shen Zhenyuan said, "Then everyone hurry back and gather at the village entrance at 4:15 AM tomorrow."
"yes."
Both the households that decided to leave and those that did not sent people to the town, only to find that many restaurants and shops in the town had already closed, and people on the streets were in a hurry to come and go.
There were also those pushing carts and carts, carrying their belongings in a hurry and leaving now.
Those who were originally skeptical about Shen Zhenyuan's words no longer hesitated and immediately returned to the village to pack up their things.
Some people who didn't believe in evil saw them so frightened, so they came forward to ask a few questions, and then immediately went home to pack up their things.
He couldn't guarantee that he could survive the refugees, so he decided to follow the village chief, which was safer.
Shen Jiajun came to Shen Li's house to inform them that they would set off at 4:15 AM tomorrow and also their destination.
When Chen Li heard that Fourth Grandpa decided to go to Luozhou, she was slightly surprised but then relieved. In the original book, Chen Jiaojiao and Jiang Huaichuan went to Luozhou.
Luozhou has not suffered from droughts, floods and locust plagues, and is a rare good place.
Moreover, when the army composed of refugees passed through Luozhou later, they did not burn, kill and loot as they had done before.
Because when they passed through Luozhou, they had already been incorporated, and attacked the capital from Yizhou, Xiaoxiang and other places. The Northern Qi Dynasty, which had ruled for more than 200 years, was already crumbling.
In September 282 of the Northern Qi Dynasty, under the leadership of Xie Yunci, the prince of Zhennan Palace, and Pei Yu, they successfully broke through the Northern Qi and changed the country's name to Northern Yan.
Luozhou might be a good place to go, but it is too close to the capital, and now there are still nearly three years before the establishment of Northern Yan, so it might be caught in the crossfire.
Unfortunately, she didn't finish reading the book. She only saw them arrive in Luozhou and then go on a mission.
The place Chen Li wanted to go was Suzhou, but it was a long way from Luozhou, so she decided to go for a walk with the villagers of Sanli Village.
"I understand. Thank you, Brother Jiajun. You should go back as well."
There was indeed a lot of things to do at home, so Shen Jiajun hurried back.
Chen Li closed the courtyard gate and went back to tell her family about the situation. The family just nodded and quickly went to pack up.
An hour later, Shen Jingyuan and his wife came back, followed by an ox cart full of things. Also coming with them were Xu Taohua's mother and younger brother Xu You.
Xu Taohua's mother, Li Qiaolan, is about the same age as Lin Cuicui, but judging from her appearance, she looks a few years older than Lin Cuicui.
It was after her husband passed away that she raised two children alone and was forced to become a shrew, but fortunately Xu You was able to make things better for her.
Li Qiaolan took her daughter's hand and patted it, then looked at Shen Changshan and Lin Cuicui, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, Ayou and I are sorry to bother you."
Lin Cuicui smiled and said, "My dear relatives, there's no need to be so polite. The house is a mess right now."
Li Qiaolan rolled up her sleeves and said, "Let's go and pack our things first."
Xu You is 14 years old this year. His skin is fairly fair and he looks mature despite his young age.
He also followed Shen Jingyuan to help.
Chen Li had almost packed up her things. Thinking of the dumpling in the space, she thought that it should have woken up by now.
Sure enough, when Chen Li went in, she saw the little guy crawling around looking for food.
Thanks to the magical effect of lotus seeds, the giant panda’s injuries have almost healed, but it still needs some time to recuperate.
Chen Li took out a small bowl of goat milk, a few bamboo shoots and spiritual fruits and placed them in front of Tuanzi.
"Hmm~"
Tuanzi drank the milk gracefully, climbed into Chenli's arms, and started peeling bamboo shoots to eat.
Eating a bamboo shoot is like eating a spiritual fruit. The main point is that both the rain and the dew are equally enjoyed.
There was also a pile of food in front of the giant panda. The mother and the child were eating the food in front of them respectively without disturbing each other.
After the mother and son finished eating slowly, Chen Li sat cross-legged in front of them with a serious expression.
Regardless of whether the giant panda could understand or not, he looked at it and said seriously:
"I'm about to leave here. Should I send you back to the mountains, or should you stay in the space?"
If the mother and son don't want to go out, Chen Li has no intention of letting them stay in the space forever. She will release them when she finds a suitable place in the future.
The giant panda looked at Chen Li, blinked a few times, and slowly shook his head.
It knew very well that if it weren't for Chen Li, she and her baby would have died long ago.
Shen Li Bao Zheng said: "I will find a place for you to live in the future."
"Hmm!"
Lin Cuicui looked at the things at home, and she was reluctant to throw this away, nor was she willing to throw that away, as they could all be used again.
"Mom, these bowls are broken. I don't want them anymore."
"It can still be used. It would be a waste to throw it away!"
Shen Qi'an came over and just heard this. He walked into the kitchen and took a look, "Mom, you don't need to take so many bowls. And you can throw away the casserole with a broken corner. Don't we still have two?"
Chen Li nodded, "Yes, Third Brother is right, there is no need to bring so much, we are going to escape famine."
Lin Cuicui and Li Qiaolan picked up the broken bowls and pots with a look of heartache.
Ali was right, they were fleeing famine and couldn't bring too many things with them.
Fortunately, there are not many furniture in the house, and most of them are old. Otherwise, it would be so painful to throw them away!
