Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

After breakfast, Xu Huaiyi originally planned to go to Liu Shitou's house. Unexpectedly, Village Chief Xu couldn't wait to start digging the well. Since there was at least one young man in the family, he was the only one in the Gu family.

No one in the village objected to Chief Xu's proposal. Even if no one wanted to work in the bright sun, the water in the well was dropping day by day and they were not blind. How could they not panic?

Digging a well saves the lives of the entire village.

Xu Huaiyi thought in his heart that this was a useless effort, and no one listened when he said it. Instead, it seemed that he wanted to be an enemy of everyone, which would only make people think that he was shirk-taking and lazy, so he followed it honestly.

The Xu family sent Xu Huailian there, and others thought there would be fun and excitement, but little did they know that for three days in a row, the two of them didn't even say a word, acting like strangers, let alone fighting.

This makes the melon-eating people very regretful.

What's even more regrettable is that not only did Xu Huailian not trouble Xu Huaiyi, but the entire Xu family was silent as well, as if the fratricidal quarrel at the door of the Gu family had never happened.

Xu Huaiyi did not continue to be aggressive.

The Xu family did not come to fight back, seeming to acquiesce in their debt to Xu Huaiyi.

Xu Huaiyi was not completely relaxed. When he went to bed at night, he said to Gu Huanxi, "You should be more alert at home. I'm afraid that the Xu family will attack you and your daughter. Even though they are peaceful now, it's because there are four My uncle is suppressing me, and they themselves are unreasonable. Making trouble on this topic is tantamount to seeking death, but I am bound to be unconvinced in my heart. They can't deal with us on the surface, but secretly they want to play dirty, especially Xu Huaili, then People are stupid and bad..."

Gu Huanxi saw that he was getting more and more nervous as he spoke, and hurriedly reassured him, "Don't worry, I know what's going on. The worst case scenario is just exposing the RV. With the RV around, no matter how big the danger is, you can avoid it."

After hearing this, Xu Huaiyi finally felt at ease.

Gu Huanxi inquired about the progress of digging the well, "Do you think water can be produced?"

Xu Huaiyi shook his head, "I can't tell. I looked at the place where I picked it and it seemed like water could come out, but I didn't want them to be able to get water out. Alas, with the water, their little luck would be magnified, let alone Fleeing..."

Gu Huanxi said calmly, "In the end, they will face reality."

Xu Huaiyi said anxiously, "But the longer you delay, the more dangerous it will be..."

Gu Huanxi asked calmly, "Is there any way you can persuade them to follow you now?"

Xu Huaiyi was silent and only hugged her tightly.

The next day, Xu Huaiyi continued to dig the well. He worked like this for three consecutive days. When he dug about ten meters deep, water slowly seeped out from the bottom of the well.

Everyone cheered excitedly.

This is no ordinary well, this is life, hope, and the hope of not having to leave home.

Xu Huaiyi was not happy at all. Having a well would give them the illusion that they could continue to live here and paralyze their intuition that danger was approaching.

This is not a good thing.

Moreover, having a water source also means fighting for it.

He found Xu Deshou and asked straight to the point, "Uncle Xu, I want to go to the county town tomorrow morning to ask about the price of grain and get some news. Do you still want to follow me?"

Xu Deshou thought for a while and nodded, "Go and take a look to feel at ease..."

The next day, when Xu Huaiyi drove the mule cart to the entrance of the village, waiting there, in addition to Xu Deshou, were Xu Changsong and Uncle Gao. Xu Changsong represented the village chief, and Uncle Gao had worked in the escort agency in the early years, and had also traveled around with him. In many places, this person in the village is considered to have seen the world. Now he has opened a small grocery store in the town, and his words have some weight.

The few people met and said hello, got in the car, and rushed straight to the county seat.

An hour later, Xu Huaiyi's expression became solemn as he looked at the long line of people standing at the gate of the county town, as well as the government officials with weapons.

Xu Changsong couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"

Uncle Gao frowned and said, "This seems to be checking the identity of people entering the city..."

When Xu Changsong heard this, he couldn't help but become nervous, "Why the investigation? Did something happen in the city?"

Uncle Gao shook his head and asked Xu Huaiyi, "The last time you came here, was the city gate like this too?"

"No." Xu Huaiyi said thoughtfully, "Not only is the identity checked, but money is also collected from the city. This restricts people from entering and exiting at will. It seems that something has really happened..."

Xu Deshou whispered, "Isn't it possible that someone is robbing the food?"

After saying this, the expressions of Xu Changsong and Uncle Gao changed.

Xu Huaiyi was relatively calm. After all, he had been robbed once last time. "It's probably true. Apart from food, what else can the county government be prepared for now?"

"Then shall we go in?"

"Come in, come here, how can you inquire about the news if you don't go in? Besides, hearing is false, seeing is believing..."

If the cruel reality is not revealed to them to see with their own eyes, they will still wait for relief or rain with their luck. Of course, he can ignore them and run away with his wife, children and children, but when he arrives in the capital, people like him A single family is like a duckweed without roots, and it is too easy to be squeezed out by the local people. If you have fellow villagers and clans, your situation will be much better, and it will be easier to establish a foothold in a different place.

He would never admit that he was soft-hearted and that the Holy Mother could not just watch them wait for death and do nothing.

Do your best and let fate dictate.

Although there were many people waiting to enter the city at the gate of the county town, the atmosphere at the scene was somewhat solemn. Therefore, there was an eerie silence, with only a few impatient shouts from the government officials occasionally heard.

When it was Xu Huaiyi's turn and others' turn, the yamen servant was not embarrassed. He only asked a few questions as usual, collected two cents from each person to enter the city, and waved them away.

Xu Huaiyi's mood is quite subtle. These people are his companions, right?

Xu Deshou asked, "Huaiyi, where do you think we should go first?"

Xu Huaiyi looked around and said, "Why don't you go to the grain store first?"

Xu Deshou nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you..."

Second Uncle Gao said, "Let's divide into two groups. You go to the grain store, and I'll take Changsong to the teahouse. There are many people there, from all religions and nine schools. It's the fastest to get information."

Xu Huaiyi naturally did not disagree.

When they arrived at the grain store, the door was already crowded with people, but these people were not all grain buyers. Some came to inquire about news, some came to watch the market, and some just came to watch the excitement. On the contrary, those who bought grain were the least. .

Because food prices have become ridiculously expensive.

Moreover, it is limited.

After Xu Deshou listened for a few times, he couldn't help but find a small discussion circle to join in, "What? How much do you think a pound of sorghum is? One hundred liters! How is this possible?"

A dark-faced old man smoked a dry cigarette, his brows furrowed so tightly that he could kill a mosquito, "Why is it impossible? That's it. Everyone is only allowed to buy ten kilograms. How many days can we eat ten kilograms?"

"What about beans and wheat?"

"Beans cost eighty cents, and wheat already costs two hundred cents. We ordinary people don't even have to think about it. Alas, what's the difference between this and taking money?"

"Are they all limited?"

"Well, you can only buy ten kilograms of beans at most. Wheat is better, you can buy twenty kilograms, but who is willing to spend that money? It's better to wait at home and wait for death."

"Is this a rule set by the grain shop?"

"Where? This is the order of the county magistrate. I am afraid that someone will take the opportunity to hoard food. In that case, the people will not be able to eat, so we must not cause chaos..."
