Ancient natural disaster: The whole family went to escape together

Chapter 6 Qianhua Town

But the villagers didn't believe what Su Yuanshan said at all, and the same was true when they went to the village chief.

"Bandits? Su Yuanshan, please don't talk nonsense. There are many wild beasts on the mountain. Maybe you have seen it wrong! Besides, we are busy with the autumn harvest now. We have no time to leave the village. We really want to be in the fields all day long!" Sujia Village The village chief Su Qing shook his head and said with a smile.

"I think your family shouldn't leave the village. You have to go to school to teach your children these days!" said an old man over seventy years old. He is a respected elder in Sujia Village. People in the village call him Su Daxing.

"In that case, let's postpone the teaching for the past few days." Su Yuanshan saw that everyone was resolute and knew that it was useless to persuade them, so he simply said goodbye and left.

With such a result, Su Yuanshan was not surprised at all. After all, it was completely impossible to give up the autumn harvest just because of a possibility that he didn't know whether it would come true.

After bringing Su Buyi home, Su Yuanshan and his family fell asleep early.

At night, because Su Buyou cried, Su Bujing slept with him.

Facing the confusion of the future, Su Bujing held Su Buyou's little hand tightly, feeling extremely calm.

Early the next morning, Su Buwei got up excitedly, took Su Buyi to pack his luggage, tied up some miscellaneous slingshots, snacks, and story books with cloth strips, and put them on the cart.

It looks like the whole family is going on an outing together.

Su Buwei's shouting voice woke up Su Yuanshan and Zhao.

Su Bu only calmed down after taking a punch from Su Yuanshan.

Amidst Su Buyi's suppressed laughter, the family began to pack their things.

Bedding, clothes, hoes, hatchets, kitchen knives, pots and bowls, and the rice, flour, and salt left in the kitchen were packed into three thick beddings, then tied up with a few strips of cloth and placed on the cart.

That's all, Su Buying supervised the completion after getting up. Otherwise, the family would not have brought pots, bowls, hoes and other things.

As for property and jewelry, they were all stored closely by Su Yuanshan and Zhao.

After packing their things, Su Buyou hadn't woken up yet, so Su Buyi picked up the sleeping Su Buyou and sat on the cart.

The cart was pulled by old oxen, and there were two big wheels under the board at the back. The three luggages placed on the wooden board did not take up much space.

So the younger ones in the family, Su Bujing, Su Buyou, and Zhao sat on the cart.

Others followed the bullock cart on foot.

The family set out for Qianhua Town with all their belongings.

I also met many villagers from Sujia Village on the way. They were busy preparing for the autumn harvest, fearing that the quality of the food would deteriorate if it was delayed for a long time, or that a sudden heavy rain would turn everyone's hard work for a year into ashes.

Nowadays, there are many excessive levies and miscellaneous taxes, and the villagers are looking forward to more harvests and a smooth year.

Therefore, they strongly disagree and do not understand the actions of Su Yuanshan's family.

But this is someone else's business. At most, they will just whisper a few words behind their backs, and in the end they will do whatever they have to do.

"Ouch! You guys from the Su family, you guys with big bags and small bags, are not going to move your whole family to the county town! This cow can work just by looking at it! It's great!" Aunt Chen, who lives next door to the Su family, hurriedly Come and join in the fun.

"Aunt Chen, didn't I tell your family yesterday that we were afraid of bandits coming from Yunshan, so we planned to go out to play for a few days as a family. How about your family coming together?" Mrs. Zhao replied with a smile.

Aunt Chen made a sound and said: "Do you really believe it?! We don't have so much spare money to go out and play. We are also busy with the autumn harvest these days. The men in the family get up early every day and stay late every day. How can we have free time!"

Madam Zhao held Aunt Chen's hand affectionately, "Auntie, I'll ask you to take care of the house while we're gone for the past few days."

Aunt Chen patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, it's no problem! We've been living here for so many years. However, you have to come home early. Although your land is not much, you still have to work for several days. ! How could there be bandits in Yunshan? It’s been so many years..." Seeing that Aunt Chen was about to start chatting about home affairs, Su Buwei jumped out and interrupted: "Auntie, we are still in a hurry to go to town! There is a lantern festival tonight... "

Su Yuanshan said sharply: "Why are you so rude! They also have good intentions!"

Su Buwei stuck out his tongue and bowed to Aunt Chen.

Aunt Chen waved her hand: "It's okay, the child is still young, why don't you hurry to play! Then I won't delay you, I have to go to the fields to work, let's go!"

Mrs. Zhao said gratefully: "Auntie, when we come back, bring some pieces of cloth for your dog and the others to make some new clothes to wear!"

Aunt Chen nodded happily and promised to take good care of the Su family's yard.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and she is worried that the children at home do not have thick clothes!
After bidding farewell to the villagers they met in the village, everyone in the Su family came to the dirt road they usually take to enter the town, and drove the ox cart to Qianhua Town.

There were many small stones on the dirt road, which was uneven. Sitting on the bullock cart was bumpy, and Su Buyou woke up from the bumps.

Sujiacun is not far from Qianhua Town, but it still takes two hours to get there by bullock cart.

After Su Buyu woke up, because he was bored, he dragged his eldest brother Su Buyi to tell him a story.

Su Buyi had no choice but to retell him several travel notes that she had read.

Su is not only restless, he has long forgotten the idea of ​​"dreaming and avoiding disaster", and is only interested in playing.

Now I pick some wild fruits for my sister to eat, and then I pick up a slingshot and shoot the sparrows parked on the roadside. I am so happy!
Mrs. Zhao discussed with Su Yuanshan what arrangements she would buy when they arrived in Qianhua Town later, and she would have to find time to check the accounts.

Su Bujing looked at all this with a smile, feeling relaxed both physically and mentally.

This is just the first step. No matter what hardships there may be in the future, their family will be fine.

Two hours later, everyone in the Su family arrived at Qianhua Town.

In Qianhua Town, there were already people climbing on the wooden ladders and hanging ropes, waiting to hang all kinds of lights on the ropes.

Some of the vendors have already set up their stalls, some are selling flower and bird lanterns, some are selling blessing lanterns, and some are decorating the lanterns with poems, poems and landscapes. There are all kinds of things that are dazzling.

Evening has not yet arrived, Qianhua Town has already begun to be lively.

Come to think of it, at night, Qianhua Town will be as beautiful as a fairyland.

Seeing this joyful bustle, Su Bujing and others looked around happily.

In order to make it easier to check accounts, Zhao bought a small courtyard in Qianhua Town. Now that the family wants to live in the town temporarily, they naturally live there.

Moreover, there are no inns in Qianhua Town specifically for entertaining outsiders. Even if there are, the conditions are very poor.

"Let's clean up the yard where we're going to live first, and then come out to have fun during the lantern festival at night!" Su Yuanshan said his plan, and everyone unanimously agreed.

The appearance of the group carrying large and small bags did not attract the attention of the people in Qianhua Town.

There is a lantern festival in Qianhua Town today, and it is normal for some outsiders to enter.

In this way, the Su family arrived at the courtyard on North Street in the town.
