After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

"Little one, are we really going to leave Dayang Village?"

After An Twelve explained everything, Bai Qingyun arranged a room for her to rest.

She must be tired after the long journey. Although most secret guards use the sky as their blanket and the ground as their home, there is no danger in Dayang Village at this time, so there is no need to let her keep watch.

But tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for the Bai family.

Just as Bai Qingyun expected, the old people were most reluctant to leave their hometown. Grandma Bai was usually the most decisive person in the family, but she was a little panicked at this moment.

Bai Qingyun didn't know how to comfort her. Should he tell her that if we don't escape, we will die here?

The old man knows very well what the reality is, but it just takes some time for him to accept it.

Bai Qingyun approached Grandpa Bai and Grandma Bai and said, "Grandpa, Grandma, when the storm is over, I will take you back to Dayang Village, okay?"

The two old people worked hard all their lives, were abandoned by their loved ones, and suffered a lot. They thought that the hard work would finally pay off, but they didn't expect that after they finally felt a sense of belonging to this place, they still had to leave in the end.

Grandma Bai sighed deeply and responded to her family's concerned looks.

After all, feelings are defeated by reality!

"Little one, have you ever thought about this, if only the Bai family escapes, what will the other people in Dayang Village do?"

The helpful Aunt Niu, the village chief who is devoted to Dayang Village, the clever and sensible Goudan and Gousheng...

Does the Bai family really want to abandon those neighbors who will always come out no matter whether the Bai family is in poverty or prosperity?

"When it's daybreak, my son and I will go to the village chief's house!"

When Grandpa Bai is at home, he always lets the family do what they want and rarely speaks for himself.

But when it comes to the future of Dayang Village, we have to do something.

Early the next morning, Bai Qingyun took Grandpa Bai to the village chief's house. Heavy snow blocked the road, and Grandpa Bai couldn't use the young man's skis, so Bai Qingyun could only support him and walk step by step.

"You old thing, why don't you just stay at home in this weather? Why are you looking for me?"

When they arrived at the village chief's house, their shoes and socks were soaked in snow water and their feet were frozen cold. Village Chief Yang hurriedly invited them to warm themselves by the fire, and couldn't help but complain when he saw the situation.

But in the past, the two of them couldn't help but joke with each other when they met, but today the atmosphere was much more tense than usual.

"Dashan and Daming are both here!"

When Grandpa Bai saw his family members, he didn't know how to start the conversation. He found that Yang Dashan, who was supposed to be at the county government office, had returned to Dayang Village at some point.

"Yes, Uncle Bai, there's nothing to do in the county government office, so I came back first!"

"Forget it, there's nothing to hide from your Uncle Bai, just tell me everything you know!"

Village chief Yang's words drew everyone's attention to Yang Dashan.

Grandpa Bai and Bai Qingyun were also worried. Could it be related to the purpose of their trip?

"Uncle Yang, is this about Bingzhou?"

Bai Qingyun asked tentatively, also wanting to tell Yang Dashan indirectly that what you know, I might also know, so there is nothing to hide.

"Bai girl, are you here for this too?"

"Well, Uncle Yang, why don't you tell us what you know so that we can discuss it together!"

Now that everything has been made clear, there is no need to hide anything.

"I followed you to Bingzhou before the New Year and found out that the officials in Bingzhou were actually involved with the Second Prince's men. I don't know the details, but I only know that all the officials and their families in Bingzhou moved away, and many merchants left their shops overnight after receiving the news."

"The heavy snow has blocked the roads, and many people are staying at home, unaware of the situation. However, the streets in Bingzhou are basically empty. Even several large businesses in Qujiang County moved out overnight after hearing the news."

"I heard that the imperial court is recruiting soldiers everywhere now, and Bingzhou will soon face a major war!"

No wonder, every time a war breaks out, only the common people suffer. Officials and merchants have already transferred their property and families upon hearing the news. Those who have not transferred, in their eyes, probably have no value at all, including people.

The older I get, the more I realize that privilege has already penetrated into every aspect of life without my knowledge. In the big and small things in life, in corners you don’t know about, the people who make the rules will leak a small part of the resources in their hands, and then publish the rules of the game and watch everyone scramble for them.

But now Bai Qingyun is just one of the living beings. He has no right to make rules and can only survive under the constraints of the rules.

Compared with the difficulties in her previous life, she now has an extra way out. There is no restriction on bringing people into the space. In times of crisis, it is not impossible for the whole family to hide in it.

"Dad, we don't have time to hesitate. When I come back, the conscription team is already in the neighboring Bishui County. It's only a matter of time to get to Qujiang and Dayang Village. Even if we have to travel in heavy snow, we have to go!"

After Yang Dashan finished explaining everything, he looked at Village Chief Yang anxiously.

From their anxious tone, we can tell that the two have been arguing about this issue for quite some time.

"Grandpa Village Chief, I agree with what Uncle Yang said. We still have the initiative now. If we really wait for the conscription team to arrive at Dayang Village, then Dayang Village will really be gone!"

The conscription at this time was definitely not as good as the official conscription by the court. The second prince's move was a risky one.

Even Bai Qingyun himself was puzzled. With the resources in the hands of the aristocratic families, there were many ways to help the second prince seize that position. Why choose the one that was most likely to be criticized?

Even if they win in the end and ascend to that position, they will likely be labeled as unjustified by historians and be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.

"Bai girl, I understand what you said, but our ancestors have lived here for generations, so it's not so easy to give it up!"

"Old man, I think you are going backwards as you grow older!"

Grandpa Bai had not said anything since he entered the house. He just listened quietly to the conversation between Bai Qingyun and Village Chief Yang Dashan. When he heard what Village Chief Yang said, he put down the tea in his hand heavily and continued.

"We are all half-buried in the ground. We still have a few more years to live. What is Dayang Village without people? But as long as people are here, we can go to Jiangzhou and build a new Dayang Village!"

Once a person's thinking falls into a vortex, it is very difficult to get out, and he may even fall into the abyss.

But as long as someone gives a helping hand, those isolated thoughts will return to one's mind.

After a long silence, Village Chief Yang also knew that there was still a way to rescue the people of Dayang Village. Once the conscription team arrived, there would be nothing left.
