Judging from the weather, it must be another drought!
The scene of the floating corpses were still fresh in his mind. If he tried again, he really wouldn't be able to live.
The old man told the Village Chief about this matter. The Village Chief also felt very worried. They were farmers who relied on the heavens to feed their families. If it did not rain that day and they could not cultivate, then they would truly die.
Afraid that the drought might really come, the village chief gathered the entire village and told them what he was worried about. If the villagers had money, they would h.o.a.rd more food. If there really was a drought, they could still rely on food to survive.
Some people listened to the Village Chief and decided to buy some grain to h.o.a.rd. Others disapproved, thinking that it would rain.
However, those who wanted to sell the grain realized that the price of the grains had unknowingly risen. This matter only increased the sense of crisis in their hearts.
"Do you believe what the Village Head said?" Seeing that Li Qingling was so calm and didn't plan to buy food, Liu Zhimo asked her.
Li Qingling lowered her head as she calculated, how much food did she have left at home?
Hearing Liu Zhimo's question, she looked up at him and said calmly, "I do!" It was no wonder that there was a saying that 'there is an old man in the family, like a treasure.' When an experienced old man saw the weather, he felt that something was amiss.
He hoped that everyone in the village would listen to the Village Head's words and buy some food to store. When the drought arrived, they would still be able to survive.
Liu Zhimo looked at Li Qingling in astonishment, "Since you believe it, then why didn't you take action?" This wasn't like her at all. Normally, she would have already started moving nervously. How could she be as calm as she was now?
"How do you know I didn't act?" Li Qingling smiled at him and said in a low voice, "Before this, I have already h.o.a.rded food." It was all thanks to Tiger, if not for Tiger, she would not have acted so quickly.
There had been no rain during this period of time. The person selling the food would definitely take advantage of this opportunity to raise the price of food.
Hearing Li Qingling's words, Liu Zhimo was shocked. He asked when she was going to stock up the food, how come he didn't know?
And why did she h.o.a.rd food? Had she known there would be a drought?
Now, Li Qingling would not hide it anymore and told Liu Zhimo about it.
After hearing it, Liu Zhimo became silent. He did not expect Li Qingling to do so many things without telling him, and this made him feel very guilty.
I knew it would be like this, "Li Qingling shook her head helplessly, and patted Liu Zhimo's shoulders," I didn't mean to hide this from you, I just thought that you would be taking the exam soon, so I let this sort of thing go to your heart. That's not good, and besides, I don't know if this matter is true or not. "If you say it out loud and it's not true, you will be worried for nothing. Considering this, I might as well not tell you."
"It's been hard on you." Liu Zhimo sighed, then said to Li Qingling: "Next time if you encounter any problems, you must tell me, for these things, will not take up much of my time." He wanted to be her support, not just for her to carry everything on her own. It would make him seem useless.
Knowing the knot in his heart, Li Qingling compromised and nodded her head.
"I hope this drought will not come!"
"Hmm …" However, Li Qingling knew clearly in her heart that with the increasing heat, the drought was definitely not far away.
However, she had not expected that the war would come even faster than the drought.
That day, Fumanlou's shopkeeper suddenly came to the village to look for her. He thought that the shopkeeper had come to ask her about the rabbit, so she smiled and said, "The rabbit hasn't grown up yet, so I have to wait a bit."
The shopkeeper's expression was a little serious. He glanced at her and said, "Miss Xiao Ling, I'm not looking for you today for a rabbit, but to tell you something."
Seeing that the shopkeeper's expression was so serious, Li Qingling kept her smile and nodded, telling him to speak frankly.
"I've received news that King Nan Yan is about to rebel. The first one to pa.s.s by is Anyang County." The shopkeeper sighed, "Tomorrow the Fumanlou will close and I will leave tomorrow. Before I leave here, I want to report to you, to let you prepare mentally." It was the only thing he could do.
Hearing this news, Li Qingling's heart immediately sank. She knew that the shopkeeper wouldn't joke about such things, "storekeeper uncle, thank you!" He stood up and bowed to the shopkeeper.
The fact that the shopkeeper had personally come to tell her this news was a great favor to her.
"That's all I can do to help you." The shopkeeper helped Li Qingling up, "I wonder what Miss Xiao Ling has planned? If you want to leave this place, you have to leave as soon as possible. " When he thought of his family's children, his heart felt a bit heavy.
"I'll have to discuss this with Zimo and see what I can do."
"Then we have to hurry."
Li Qingling responded. After sending the shopkeeper away, she went out to find Liu Zhimo, who brought her two little sisters to play.
As soon as she found him, she told him that she had something important to tell him. When he saw how serious she looked, he quickly carried his sister home with him.
As soon as he got home, he asked what had happened.
Li Qingling sat on the chair and sighed, "The Southern Swallow King has rebelled. He woke up early to war, and the one who bore the brunt of the blow is Anyang County." In her previous life, she had lived in peace and had never experienced war. However, she also knew that war meant death. It was a very cruel thing to do.
Hearing that, Liu Zhimo's expression became serious, "How did you know about this? "Are you sure?"
"Fumanlou's shopkeeper specifically came here to tell me just now." Li Qingling nodded her head, "I feel that this news is true, shopkeeper, there is no need to lie to us."
After hearing the news from Fumanlou's shopkeeper, Liu Zhimo believed it.
However, his heart had also sunk.
After a long while, he finally asked Li Qingling her question.
"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll think about it later." Li Qingling had a headache as she caressed her temples. At this moment, her mind was in a mess, she did not know what to do, "Should I inform the village chief about this?" After all, they were from the same village, and if he said she wouldn't tell the villagers, it would be hard to get by in his heart.
"Then tell the village chief. It's up to him whether he believes it or not."
"Alright!"
Liu Zhimo immediately went to find the village head and told him about it. He specifically mentioned that it was the Fumanlou's shopkeeper who came to notify them.
When the Village Chief heard this, he was shocked. He did not expect that the war would start soon.
However, he still hadn't received any news from the higher-ups. He didn't know if this was true or not, but if it wasn't, then it was not a joke to spread the news and cause such panic.
"He Mo, before I receive any accurate information about this matter, do not spread it, do you understand?" The village chief warned Liu Zhimo repeatedly. Regardless if this matter was true or not, just based on Liu Zhimo's heart, he was already very grateful.
Liu Zhimo knew the seriousness of the situation. He nodded and said he knew.
On the evening of the next day, the Village Chief hastily gathered the entire village. The villagers were all muttering to themselves, "Why are you so late?"
"I wonder what happened to make the village head gather us at such a late hour. This is something that has never happened before." Auntie Huang said as she frowned at Li Qingling.
Li Qingling knew that the war had been proven, otherwise, the village chief would not have hastily gathered them all.
She had discussed this with Liu Zhimo, her family's children were too young, if they were to escape, it was very likely that they would die on the road.
Since that was the case, she might as well move to the Matsuyama's cave and live there. There was enough food in the cave for her to h.o.a.rd for them.
They were planning to move out tomorrow morning, but they didn't expect that tonight, the village head would gather everyone.
"Everyone, calm down. There is something important to tell everyone." The village head looked at the villagers with a serious expression. After he received the news from up above, he rushed back to inform the villagers, "I received news from up above that King Nan Yan has rebelled. The army is the first to pa.s.s through Anyang County …"
Before he finished speaking, the villagers had already exploded. The village head took a deep breath and shouted to the villagers to quiet down, then he continued, "My family has already planned to leave this place, to escape, who wants to leave this place, tomorrow morning, we will gather at the village entrance, we will wait for everyone for an hour. Once the hour is over, we will immediately leave." Since the battle was already at their doorstep, if they still didn't run away, they could only wait for death.
The village chief then gave a few more words of advice to the villagers, telling them to go home and think it over.
When he saw Liu Zhimo and Li Qingling, he ran over and asked them if they wanted to escape.
Li Qingling and Liu Zhimo looked at each other, and Liu Zhimo immediately said: Their family has no adults, they are all children, so they do not plan to escape.
Upon hearing this, Zeng Tietou became excited, "Boss, let's escape together, I'm here!" He really didn't want to see such a good person from his boss die here.
Looking at such a simple and honest man, Li Qingling and Liu Zhimo felt a little touched in their hearts.
What did it mean to see the truth when in trouble? That was it.
"Uncle Zeng, there are both old and young in your family, and this is already a huge burden. We cannot increase your burden, we have truly decided to stay."
When he thought of his family, he became silent. After a while, he said, "You all have to be careful. If it doesn't work, then go escape into the mountains!" This way, he would have a chance of survival.
Li Qingling thanked Ceng Ironhead and told him to be careful on the way.
With bloodshot eyes, Zeng Tie responded and left with his shoulders hunched.
