Quickly wear in the small world while eating melons

Chapter 294 I am eating melons in the escape article 36

Bai Erhe nodded when he heard this. "Old Third is right. We are all leaving. Food is our lifeblood. As for the government office, we are all leaving. Why should we care about it?"

Although Bai Erhe sounds tough now, there was actually a lot of controversy among everyone when this decision was made.

Although they didn't want to pay grain to the yamen, they were afraid that the yamen would come to arrest them if they didn't. Even if they left, they were afraid that the yamen would issue a notice to arrest them. The fear of the yamen was ingrained in their bones.

Everyone argued for a long time but could not make a decision. Finally, the village chief decided not to hand over the grain and asked everyone to quickly collect the grain and take it with them on the road.

Bai Erhu also knew the importance of food, but they had never done anything against the government's orders. Thinking of the terrible people in the yamen and his fear of the yamen, he spoke.

Now that his father has spoken, he naturally has no problem with it and will do whatever his father says.

After saying these things, Bai Erhe quickly made arrangements for what everyone was going to do next, including things to prepare, things to clean up at home, etc. There were many trivial things.

After all, they couldn't just set off without any preparation. They also had to count the things in their house and sort out what to take away and what to discard.

And since they were fleeing famine, of course they had to prepare some things that would be useful on the road. They were lucky, as they got the news in advance and had time to prepare before leaving.

Since ancient times, families that encountered war would basically pack up their belongings in a hurry and flee, and there were many who set out with empty hands.

As for those who have suffered from the drought, they basically will leave their hometown to flee when they can no longer survive. At that time, everyone has basically reached the end of their rope and has nothing left but to set out on the road.

They are making preparations now so that they have a better chance of surviving on the road.

Anyway, as far as they knew, countless people died on the way to escape. In addition to those who died of starvation, thirst, and disease, they also had to pay attention to external dangers.

Not to mention other places, there are such families in Baijiazhuang.

There are several families in Baijiazhuang who fled here. Basically, they all set out on the journey together. In the end, only two or three people were left alive in each family, or just a single child.

Moreover, all these people were young and middle-aged without exception. There were no elderly people or children. Even women were only a pitifully few. And it was only because she was married to one of the men and her husband protected her all the way that she survived. Otherwise, she would have died long ago.

As for how the people in Baijiazhuang knew about these things, of course they told it themselves.

The villagers often get together to chat, and they naturally talk about the days of fleeing in the past, and not just once, so basically everyone knows about it.

Therefore, although the people of Baijiazhuang have never escaped a disaster, they are not unfamiliar with it. The horror of escaping a disaster has been deeply imprinted in their minds.

So today when the village chief mentioned that they were going to flee, so many people jumped out to oppose it. Many of them did not want to leave, but they were too scared.

Bai Erhe arranged the tasks for everyone in detail, and everyone listened carefully. Especially those who heard their names, they were even more alert and memorized everything they were responsible for.

After arranging the tasks, Bai Erhe asked if everyone had any questions or anything they wanted to add. After all, he was the only one, and he had thought of these things during the meeting. He was afraid that there would be omissions, so he took advantage of the fact that everyone was here to see if he could fill in the gaps.

Hearing Bai Erhe's words, Bai Xiaohu quickly asked, "Dad, should we buy another mule?"

After hearing what Bai Xiaohu said, Bai Erhe wanted to scold him, but before he could open his mouth, Lin Sanni next to him scolded him first: "Old Third, you have too much money to burn, why did you buy a mule? We already have a mule at home, why buy another one and put it up for display!"

After hearing what his wife said, Bai Erhe agreed with her and felt that the third son was becoming arrogant just because he had some money.

Bai Xiaohu didn't react when he heard his mother scolding him. After all, his mother had scolded him so many times that he was used to it. Now these few words were too childish. He mainly looked at his father's expression.

However, as soon as Bai Xiaohu saw his father's expression, he knew that he disagreed. If his mother had not already scolded him, he might have been about to scold him again.

However, his parents' attitude did not make him back down. He continued, "Dad and Mom, listen to me first. I have a reason for buying another mule. It is definitely not random."

After hearing what Bai Xiaohu said, Bai Erhe and Lin Sanni looked at him, clearly asking him to speak to see what he could say.

Bai Xiaohu carefully analyzed the situation with everyone: "Mom and Dad, since we have decided to leave, we can't take less stuff with us. If we buy another mule, we will have an extra mule cart to transport our stuff."

Lin Sanni was about to speak again when she heard this, but Bai Xiaohu quickly stopped her and continued, "I know you will definitely say that there are so many people in our family, and we will be enough when the time comes."

Hearing this, Lin Sanni nodded to indicate that he was right. That was what she thought. There were so many people in their family, and if everyone joined forces, wouldn't they be able to get so many things?

"But mother, let's not talk about how much stuff we have at home. We wonder if the people in our family can take it all away. Even if we can, we will have to push and carry the stuff non-stop. I don't know how tired we will be by then."

Bai Xiaohu waved his hand, "Mom, I know you're going to say, what's the point of being tired, manpower is not valuable, money is the most important thing."

That’s right, that’s what Lin Sanni thought. It doesn’t matter if everyone is a little tired, because it’s not as much as the money she spent on buying the mule anyway.

This is not because she doesn't feel sorry for the rest of the family, but it is the truth. In her opinion, labor is the least valuable thing, and her family doesn't know how much work they have to do to save enough money to buy a mule. Now that she heard that she was going to exchange the mule for worthless labor, she certainly refused.

Moreover, the family does not only allow the son and daughter-in-law to take things, but Lin Sanni herself has to do these things, so Lin Sanni said this not for personal gain, but really for the sake of the family.

She doesn’t know what will happen in the future, so of course she has to save more money.
