Chapter 66 The Dream of the Richest Man

The atmosphere in the grain drying field was oppressive, and everyone discussed for a long time without any results.

Some were in favor of leaving, some were not.

After all, how can one give up the ancestral land so easily.

Du Lanfeng stood together with the crowd, seeing that the people were so difficult to make a choice, he walked out immediately.

"Village Chief, I agree to leave here. If there is no water, we will all have a dead end if we stay here. So I suggest that before other people react, our village should leave early, and we can find more food if we go ahead."

Trees move to death, people move to live, no one wants to die if they can live.

"Yes, yes, Du Juren is right, I think so too, but we still have crops in the field, no matter what, we have to wait until the end of the year to dig up the sweet potatoes in the field before leaving, otherwise there will be no rations on the road, and it will take a few days The yamen servants may come to collect the land tax, and this year’s harvest is not good, and once the land tax is paid, everyone may be out of work.”

In this day and age, everyone is poor, and the village head is also helpless.

"Du Juren has said so, so we have no hesitation. If it doesn't rain at the end of the year, we will dig up sweet potatoes and make preparations. We will hit the road next spring. It is better to be ahead than to be behind."

The quick-witted villagers quickly expressed their views.

Now that someone has expressed their opinion, everyone has started to express their opinions one after another.Those who initially disagreed to go also began to waver in their hearts.

If the whole village is gone, aren't your families looking for death by staying here?
Let's go!

Everyone had an idea in mind, and quickly made a decision, that is, if there is no rain at the end of the year, the village will be relocated. As for where to go, everyone has no idea.

Few people in the whole village have traveled far, who knows which way to go!

Some people proposed to go to Jingzhou, some said to go to Xunyang Prefecture, and some wanted to go to the capital. Everyone had different opinions, and no one could convince anyone. In the end, the patriarch decided that the whole village should go to the capital together. .

After everyone dispersed, Melomei followed behind Mei Laoer and the others with her head down, feeling depressed all the time.

After finally separating the family, the life has not been stable for a few days, and it is time to start fleeing famine, no matter how I think about it, I feel aggrieved.

There are rain bullets for sale in the system mall, but she can’t do anything about it. One is that the price is ridiculously expensive, and the other is the system platform restrictions. Things that exceed this time and space are too high-level to be used in this time and space. Another point is that there is a plot.

Speaking of this makes me angry, and I still don't know what the specific plot is. When I ask the system, it says that the permissions are not enough, and I don't know what the system is for.

Not to mention that the chain is dropped from time to time, and it is not used at critical moments. It is really a waste of binding a system. The only advantage is that you can store things in your backpack, bring your own shopping mall, and act as a drifting bottle...

better than nothing!

Unknowingly returning home, he heard a voice suddenly, and when he looked up, he found Mei Qi Haizhu standing by the door with a cane.

"What did the village chief call everyone to talk about today?"

He has bad legs, so he has been waiting for news at home.

"What else is there, it's about the eldest baby's family, and..." Mei Laoer said to Mei Qihai with a solemn expression.

After speaking, everyone was silent for a while.

Melomei looked complicated, looked at the family, and said: "Father, let's go buy a cow, otherwise there will be too many things, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to get them."

If you have an ox cart, you can also take a break, otherwise the distance will depend on your feet, and I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on at that time.

Ancient times are really hard to mix!
Mei Luotao said worriedly: "But we don't have a cattle pen."

Mei Luomei looked at Mei's second child, "Dad, why don't you cut down a few trees in the past few days and surround them casually. As long as it can shade the sun, it's fine if you can't escape."

Mei's second son: "Tomorrow, I will help carry the eldest child up the mountain. I'm afraid I won't be able to spare some time until the day after tomorrow. I have to go to his house to help in a while."

Melomei thought for a while, then nodded, and she was not in a hurry about the cattle.

They discussed it again, and Mei Laoer took Mei Luotao, Mei Luoxing and Mei Qiying to help others. Because Mei Luomei was afraid of seeing dead bodies, she stayed at home with Mei Qihai.

Seeing that everyone had left, Melomei immediately ran to the cellar to count the food.

This cellar was also dug by Mei Luomei, just for the convenience of piling up food.

The batch of grain bought in the county town was delivered the next day as promised by the store, and Mei Luomei found that there was no place to store it at home, so she asked Mei Lao Er to find a hidden place and dig a cellar on the ground.

Later, I went to the town a few times, and I bought some grains in various ways to store in them. Now that I have accumulated them, after excluding what I ate, there are still several thousand catties left in it.

Thinking that it would be difficult to get it at that time, Melomei put some into the system backpack and kept them in case of emergencies.

Now that there is a lot of food in the family, no one would come to count the food every day, so no one noticed when they collected some.

After collecting the food and counting the supplies, I finally felt that I should buy some things, such as boots for the journey.

A pair of good boots is very important for long distances!

After working for a long time, I made another shopping list, and then I walked out.

When he came to the yard, he found that Mei Qihai was staring at the sky in a daze, so he couldn't help walking forward.

"Uncle, what are you thinking?"

Mei Qihai looked away: "It's nothing, I'm just wondering why people are not as free as birds."

"In this world, what is freedom!" Melomei raised her head, and there were only a few small black spots left in the birds.

Mei Qihai lowered his head, depressed: "Yes, what is freedom?"

Looking at the depressed uncle, Melomei couldn't help but said: "Uncle, do you have a dream?"

dream?
Mei Qihai was at a loss, no one had ever asked him this question, and he had never thought about it, but now that he was asked, he didn't know how to answer it.

Seeing that Mei Qihai was confused, Melomei said to herself: "I used to want to work hard to earn money, buy a house, a treasure...carriage, now my dream is to earn more money, preferably rich It’s like an enemy country.”

After speaking, he sat under the eaves, resting his chin on his hands, and looked into the distance.

If you have money, you can talk about anything!

Even if there is a world famine, those rich people may still be eating and drinking.

In an era when human life was worthless and imperial power was as great as the sky, as a girl, she couldn't take the imperial examination. She really didn't know how to compete with this world!

It's so hard to be yourself!

Just when Melome thought Uncle Mei couldn't speak, he said, "If possible, I want to join the army and serve the country."

Serve the country?
Melomei raised her eyebrows. It is a good thing to serve the country, but when the drought comes, she only knows the country where the national teacher prays for rain, and she doesn't know if it is worth it.

But everyone has their own dreams and aspirations, she didn't want to hit him, so she said: "Having dreams is a good thing."

"What dream?" Someone interjected.

When Melomei raised her head, she realized that the person who had gone out to help had returned, she quickly got up and said, "Elder sister, second sister, younger sister, what do you want to do in the future?"

 Starting from tomorrow, there will be two changes every day, and each change will be 3000+
