A Lucky Wife Born Again From a Farm Family

Chapter 29: Chaos breaks out

Chapter 29 Chaos

Hearing Qi Yi's words, Gu Dashan knew that Qi Yi was helping his family and not letting them attract the attention of the villagers, so he accepted the food and water.

Qi Yi handed a small cloth bag to Gu Jinli and said: "This is a thank you gift from my wife. She is very grateful to you for saving the child, but she is too weak now to come and thank you in person, so she can only prepare a small gift." , let me transfer it to you."

Gu Jinli took the cloth bag and felt the graininess in the bag. He was shocked. It contained salt.

Salt, water, and food are indispensable items on the road to escape famine. Salt is easy to carry and will not be conspicuous as long as it is well hidden.

When Gu Jinli learned what was in the bag, he smiled sincerely and said to Qi Yi, "Thank you, Uncle Qi."

Qi Yi smiled and asked Manager Lin to bring Village Chief Gu and others over.

As soon as Village Chief Gu and the others came back, they saw a load of food and a load of water, and their eyes lit up. The eyes of several villagers were even more greedy, and they couldn't wait to grab them.

Gu Jinli and Gu Jinan saw their reactions in their eyes.

As the eldest son of the family, Gu Jinan said on behalf of Gu Dashan: "Grandpa, the village chief, these are the thank-you gifts given to our family by the Qi government. My father said that our village is escaping famine together. These things must be handed over to the village for distribution by the village chief." .

When Village Chief Gu heard this, he was so happy that he opened his mouth from ear to ear: "Okay, okay, Dashan, you are a person who never forgets your roots, and the village will remember your kindness."

The villagers in Gujia Village also laughed happily when they heard this.

The two brothers, Gu Ergou, ran forward, pushed past the two boys beside the load, took the initiative to pick up the load, and said to the village chief with a smile: "Uncle village chief, we will carry it back to the village."

Village Chief Gu glared at them and wanted to scold them, but he felt that it didn't look good. After all, this was the camp of Qi Mansion, so he had to say angrily: "Be careful, this is our village's water and food. If you fall, I can't spare you."

These brothers Gu Ergou have always liked to take advantage. Let them carry the food, and many handfuls will definitely fall into their pockets.

Brother Gu Ergou said with a smile: "Uncle village chief, don't worry, who are our brothers? They are the people who can carry a load of two hundred kilograms and walk more than ten miles of mountain roads without taking a breath."

Village Chief Gu was too lazy to pay attention to their brothers and said to Qi Yi: "Master Qi, it's getting late. If you don't have any instructions, we will go back."

They have been out for a long time, and now it is dark. Half of the strong laborers in the village are here. Only women and children are left in the resting place in the village. They went back late for fear of something happening.

Qi Yi said: "Village chief, walk slowly."

Village Chief Gu led everyone to the resting place in Gujiacun with a smile on his face.

After returning to the resting place, Village Chief Gu asked the villagers to notify each household to come to his resting place to receive water and food.

The villagers in Gujia Village were all overjoyed when they heard that they could receive food and water. But they were afraid of offending the eyes of other victims, so they did not dare to show off too much. They took the water cans and bags at home and walked quickly to the resting place of the village chief's house. Go.

When all the villagers in Gujia Village arrived, Village Chief Gu said: "Xiaoyu saved the young master of Qi Mansion. The food and water this time are the Qi Mansion's thank you gifts to Xiao Yu, but the Dashan family is thinking of us and put them The food and water were given to the village and shared among the villagers."

Village Chief Gu pointed to a load of grain and a load of water and said, "We have benefited from the Dashan family, but we can't be too greedy. I decided to give ten kilograms of grain and a can of water to the Dashan family, and we will divide the rest." "

The villagers had no objection. After all, this belonged to Gu Dashan's family. They were lucky to get some.

Seeing that they agreed, village chief Gu asked his son Gu Dafu to bring ten kilograms of grain and a can of water to Gu Dashan's family.

Then, food and water began to be distributed.

There are more than 200 people in Gujia Village, and about fifty households. A load of grain given by the Qi government is almost 150 kilograms, and each family can get about three kilograms. This is a lot of food on the way to escape famine. . After receiving the food and water, the villagers smiled from ear to ear and said good things about Gu Dashan and his family.

Zhang bravely went to the resting place of the village chief's house and whispered to the village chief: "Village chief, I'm here to get the food and water from my family."

As soon as these words came out, Gu Ergou's wife burst out laughing and said in a sharp voice: "Hey, isn't this Gu Laosan's wife? Your Gu Laosan has sold Brother Dashan and his family, and you still have Are you willing to come and receive food?"

She patted the bag containing grain in her hand and said, "This grain is given to the village by Dashan's family. Are you embarrassed to ask for it?"

Zhang's face turned red after being criticized, but she did not reply. She just lowered her head and continued: "Village chief, my mother asked me to come and get food and water."

Village Chief Gu thought of Qi Yi's care for Gu Dashan's family, and said: "Without your family's food, you can go back and tell your father-in-law and mother-in-law that Dashan's family is no longer their son. Don't do anything to embarrass everyone." Son."

When Gu Ergou's wife heard what the village chief said, she laughed even louder and shouted: "Did you hear that? There is no food for your family, so get out of here."

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she couldn't stay any longer and left in a hurry.

When the old Gu family saw that Zhang did not receive food and water, they were all very angry. Gu Xiaomei cursed: "The pheasant has been in power for nine days. It's just a few grains of food and a few sips of water. Our family doesn't care about it!"

Gu Shi also said: "We are a family of scholars. We are no better than their mud-legged people, and we will not bend our backs for five buckets of rice."

Qian Li'er, however, was filled with resentment. She stared at the resting place of the village chief's house with hateful eyes. Damn it, Gu Xiaoyu and Gu Jinxiu, just wait, one day she will take revenge for today!

After dividing the food, Village Chief Gu ordered a few villagers to work the night, and the other villagers went back.

The Gu Jinli family followed the third grandfather and the third grandmother back to their resting place.

Everyone was very tired today. After saying a few words, they went to sleep.

Gu Jinli put his hand into the cloth bag and took out two pieces of paper. One of them turned out to be a fifty-tael banknote. It must have been specially given to her by Qi Yi, and the other seemed to be a letter.

She looked at the words above by the light of the bonfire, and saw only one line written on it: It is more dangerous to go eastward, so go south as much as possible.

Gu Jinli looked at this line and her heart sank. It was just as she thought. The victims were all heading east. Tens of thousands of victims were heading east. It was easy for chaos to occur. Once chaos broke out, the consequences would be disastrous.

It is now autumn, and it is too cold in the east. They may freeze to death before they reach Yangji Mansion.

The south is warmer, has more water and vegetation, and the victims rarely go south. The danger will be much less along the way, and more food can be found on the way.

It seems that she must find a way to convince her family to go south and not go east again.

The next day, when the sky was dark and the sound of banging was heard again, the victims got up to gather and continued to flee eastward. But when she stopped to rest that evening, she could no longer see Qi Fus convoy.

The Qi government accelerated their escape from the famine and were completely separated from the victims.

After walking for another three days, the situation on the road did not improve, but worsened. Gu Jinli keenly discovered that there seemed to be some unfamiliar faces among the victims.
