Chapter 53 Going to Stay
“Boy Yi, what news did you find out? What’s going on in Daqing Mansion?”
Seeing Feng Chenyi and the others coming back, the village chiefs of the two villages hurriedly asked .
They had heard some news at the city gate, so they asked hurriedly.
“This is not the place to talk.” Feng Chenyi glanced at the surrounding victims who had been staring at them since they left the city.
"Okay!"
The village chief also realized that this was not the place to talk, and quickly asked everyone to pack their things.
After walking three miles away from the city gate, I found a place with a leeward side that could accommodate more than 300 people.
They started to flee in mid-March, but now it is early June. The weather in June is the most severe because of the heat. There are many mosquitoes at night and it is difficult to sleep.
While it is still dark, the village chief first arranges for the villagers to chop down trees and look for wild vegetables. Before it gets dark, they must arrange a place to spend the night.
The doctor in the village also went to the nearby mountains to find some medicine to prevent snakes, insects, rats, and ants. It would be best to cut more mugwort leaves and burn them.
After all these arrangements were made, the village chiefs of the two villages and the elders of the village gathered together.
“What did you say?”
The village chief and clan elders were shocked when they heard that there was a rebellion in the north and chaos broke out in the capital.
“Will there be chaos here?”
The village chief immediately asked, they had suffered a lot while escaping from famine, what should they do if chaos broke out now.
"Why is this chaos happening? What should we do?"
A clan elder said tremblingly. He has lived for most of his life and does not want to be old. Still have to encounter this kind of thing.
“Don’t worry, everyone, there won’t be chaos here for the time being.” Feng Chenyi saw that everyone was a little excited and quickly spoke to comfort them.
“And we found out that the city gate of Daqing Mansion will be opened tomorrow, and the government plans to place a group of refugees in Daqing Mansion.”
"Really?" Why didn't you say it before, but it scared them to death, and they all stared at Feng Chenyi with tiger eyes. Hearing that Daqing Mansion will resettle the refugees tomorrow, his expression softened again.
The village chiefs and elders of the two villages were so excited that tears filled their eyes. In the past two months, their old bones had suffered a lot.
No one can survive the escape. Many elderly people in Sheung Shui Village and Dashiukou Village did not survive the journey. A cold wind killed them.
Thanks to the help of their family and their filial children and grandchildren, they were not left cold and hungry, otherwise they would have died on the road.
"It's true." Feng Chenyi said with certainty.
"Okay, okay. Finally we don't have to wander around."
A clan elder wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes.
"There is just something I want to tell you. Our Feng family does not plan to settle in Daqing Mansion."
The matter that Mr. Feng spoke about this time was something they had learned early in the morning It was agreed upon.
"What, what? Mr. Feng, are you still going south?" the village chief said in disbelief.
"Yeah, well, we had planned to go to Huainan Prefecture before we fled."
"This is not far from Huainan Prefecture. If the city is willing to accommodate us, why do we have to go there? Let’s go to Huainan Mansion.”
“We have spent almost all our money. If we continue, we don’t know how many more people will starve to death.”
What the village chief of Shangshui Village said? In fact, it cost a lot to escape from the famine all the way. Even if I have some money, I still have to keep it to settle down.
It's hard to find a place to settle down, but most people don't want to leave.
"Have you really decided?" the village chief of Shangshui Village asked again. In fact, he was not willing to leave again.
