Chapter 373 A Guest From Afar (VIII)
"Look at those old servants of mine, they came to join me because they wanted to make a living, but when they found out that I was already a military household, they were immediately reluctant to give up the citizenship they had just obtained. They were all like this, and it was even more difficult for people who were civilians change your mind."

"That's true."

"If you want to buy people, you can actually buy them. There is no one you can't buy when you spend money, but you can buy young servants at most. Those strong laborers who can work will definitely not do it, and our farming is hard work. , boy servants can do it, buying them is equivalent to throwing money into the water."

"It's okay. With us, the newly bought servants may not be good at farming. It's better for everyone in the village to help each other."

"exactly."

The two chatted a few more words, and then went back to their respective homes.

When Qi Zhong returned to the back house, he locked the courtyard door and flashed back to Qianhe Realm to eat and rest. The peaceful and peaceful day was coming to an end.

The nine housekeepers who returned to the town bumped into the town all the way, stopped briefly and bought some steamed buns with a few cents, and then continued to walk through the town towards the direction of the county seat, and turned into the town at an inconspicuous fork road. A narrower country road passed through countless shacks along the way and finally stopped at the foot of a mountain.

The old servants of the Qi family who set out from the capital, the remaining 20 or so people are all here, all of them are dirty, but they are not bad compared to other refugees, at least they have official documents such as identity documents, yes Refugees are not refugees, and there are two cars. I don't know how to make others envious.

"how?"

"Why do you look like this? Can't you?"

Seeing the housekeeper and the others come back, the old people who were still able to move gathered around and asked anxiously.

"No, don't think about it. We brought steamed buns from the town, and we'll go back to the county tomorrow to find something to do." The housekeeper and the others divided the big packs of steamed buns they bought, and split a pack of dried meat for each person. One point, the people who haven't seen meat for a long time are not left at all.

"Miss is still angry, isn't she willing to take us in?"

"No, the eldest lady is now a military household, she can't take us in."

"Military household? Why? Why did the good young lady degenerate into a military household?"

"The area along the coast is full of military household villages. The eldest lady holds the land deed there. How can she keep her property if she doesn't become a military household?"

"Oh, poor young lady, in the final analysis, it is the master who committed the crime, otherwise the good lintel would not have collapsed at all, maybe we are still staying in the capital."

"When encountering such a severe drought, even if the lintel does not fall, we have to escape first."

"That's even worse. If the master is still an official, he can't escape if he wants to escape. If he dares to leave, he will not be an official."

"Oh, god damn it." When you don't know who to blame, just scold God.

The people who thought the escape was coming to an end realized that their hopes had come to nothing, and they all became listless, resting one after another after eating.

Follow the housekeeper to find Qi Ke. The nine people take turns to watch the night. They don't sleep all night to add firewood to the fire. They don't dare to sleep. They want to watch their animals and cars from being stolen. The housekeeper still has 200 taels of silver on him. , that is the hope of their new life.

After finally making it to dawn, more than 20 people woke up one after another. When they checked each other, they found that two companions who had diarrhea for several days had gone away quietly at some time in the middle of the night.

It's hard to escape by oneself, the dead are already numb after seeing enough, people die every day in this place where the shacks are crowded together, the corpses are not buried, they are dragged to an open space formed by chopping firewood, and there are animals to eat, it can be regarded as a sky burial, dust To ashes to ashes.
