The whole village is fleeing famine, fortunately I have a concubine system
Chapter 7: Countdown to Escape
The water flows eastward, the leaves fall one after another, and the time passes quietly and slowly. I put on new clothes and set off firecrackers. One year, one year, gradually approaches, and then secretly moves away.
When Xiaomi was three years old, the system finally came back.
"Ah!!! Tuanzi, you missed me so much. You finally came back. I thought you didn't want me anymore. Oh!"
In the main room, Xiaomi was lying on the bed and talking to Tuanzi.
"Xiaomi, I missed you too. There were too many systems waiting in line for upgrade this time. That's why it took you so long to come back." said the cute little voice.
Xiaomi: "Tuanzi, you seem to be smarter after this upgrade. Your voice has changed. You even have a physical body. So cute."
Tuanzi was very shy and kept twisting his little body.
Tuanzi chose the image of a little boy of about four or five years old. Considering that the host is a modern person, he also wore a small suit. The suit plus the cute face doubled the lethality.
The upgrade of Tuanzi not only has a better appearance, but also has improved its capabilities. Now it can detect objects within five kilometers around it. This is very helpful for Xiaomi to understand the surroundings.
After all, she was just a child. Old Lady Wang loved her very much. She had no chance to go far.
I have saved a lot of good things by signing in with Xiaomi in the past three years. The most important thing is that I got the fresh-keeping function for the space, but I haven't had the chance to use it yet.
Because the family was so poor that there was no room for development.
There were quite a few foods that were drawn, as well as various odds and ends, and strange and bizarre things.
Currently there is 100 cubic meters of space (it has a fresh-keeping function, and cannot hold living things.)
Some food, some medicine, two pickaxes, a machete, and an electric baton.
3 quick pregnancy pills, lightness pills, affectionate gaze pills, body fragrance pills, and bad luck talismans.
Four witchcraft figurines (can be used to curse the concubines in the harem, accurate to the point of a finger.)
Three obedient symbols (as the name suggests, obedient in everything)
There are also some cotton cloth and the like.

"What! Drought!"
"That's right, Xiaomi. It hasn't rained here for half a year. No water can be pumped out of the well, and even the creek is only a layer of water at the bottom." Tuanzi said with a wrinkled face.
Some people in the city were already heading to Wudu. There were many more carriages on the road these past two days. They were all in a hurry.
"Let me think about it. I'll think about what to do." Xiaomi paced around the room anxiously.
"Milky, milky. Come quickly."
"Here I am, my dear. What's up?" When Mrs. Wang heard Xiaomi calling her, she quickly put down her work and walked into the house. Xiaomi is now three years old. She has been sleeping with Mrs. Wang since she was weaned.
In the main room, the grandfather and grandson were talking in a low voice with their heads leaning against each other.
"My dear, is this really what the old immortal said? What else did the old immortal say?" Old Lady Wang was so scared that her hands were shaking. Drought, fleeing famine is a big deal. If you are not careful, you will die on the road.
Moreover, if you want to escape from famine, you need to plan where to go and how to get there.
We definitely can't go alone. It's best if the whole village goes together. There are more people to look after each other. If we encounter a village with bad intentions, we will also be able to fight back.
"Grandma, the old immortal said that this drought not only means that we have no water to drink and our crops cannot survive, but there are also locusts.
The wealthy families in the city have all fled with their belongings." Xiaomi said to Old Lady Wang.
Old Mrs. Wang was shocked. "What the hell? People in the city have started to run away? No, we have to call your grandfather back. Let him talk to the clan leader and the head of the village." Then she called Daya who was feeding chickens in the yard.
"Daya, go to the field and call your grandfather back. Hurry up!"
After hearing this, Daya put down the small bowl she was using to feed the chickens, sighed, and walked out.
After a while, Old Wang came back. He first washed his hands with some water and wiped his face. Then he walked into the main room.
"What the hell, baby. Is this true?" Old Wang was also shocked when he heard it.
He has experienced fleeing famine. Old Wang's ancestors lived in Lotus Village. He also fled famine with his grandfather.
At that time, Old Wang was only a child of six or seven years old. He could not remember much about escaping the famine. He only remembered being hungry, as if his stomach had been emptied by a wolf.
Finally, when they reached Lotus Village, only his grandfather and he were left. The others had died on the way to escape the famine.
Old Wang thought about it. It had indeed been more than half a year since it rained in Lotus Village. If it didn't rain again, not to mention the crops, people would not be able to survive.
There seems to be no other way except fleeing the famine.
Old Wang sighed and went out to discuss with Li Zheng.
The moment Xiaomi saw Lao Wang leaving the house, his back hunched a little.
When we got to the village head's house, Old Wang mentioned it in a veiled way. He said he saw a lot of horse-drawn carriages on the official road recently. And they all had families with them. The marks on the shafts were very deep. Did something happen?
The head of the village thought about it for a moment and immediately asked his son to go to the city to see his grandson.
My grandson is twelve years old this year. He is currently an apprentice in the kitchen of a restaurant in the city.
He also asked his son to go and see what was happening at the rich families' homes in the city. If he saw that there were fewer people, he should bring his grandson back.
The village head also noticed something was wrong, but he really didn't want to think it was a drought. This was too big a matter.
In the evening, the village head's son Qian Lai came back, bringing back his grandson Qian Duoduo.
When Qian got home, he drank a bowl of water and wiped his mouth. Then he said to Qian Lizheng, "Dad, I brought Duoduo back with me. Something seems to be wrong in the city. The grain price has increased by half. And many carriages are heading out of the city.
But not many people went into the city. I asked a family and the doorman said that the master had gone to visit his relatives with his wife and daughter.
But I thought that it wouldn't be necessary for many families to leave to visit relatives. And there were many refugees in the city. It was said that the water in the Wo River was drying up.
Not only that. In some places locusts appeared.”
Wohe River is the river that runs through the entire Ruyin County. If it dries up, there will be almost no other water sources left.
And there was also a locust plague, which is easy to happen after a long drought.
"Oh, I finally have a few days of good life. Why do we have to deal with this again?" Qian Lizheng sighed.
He then asked Qian Lai to invite the clan leader. When the clan leader arrived, the two of them closed the door and discussed for half the night.
The next morning, the heads of each family were called together to discuss the matter.
The chief first told the villagers what he knew, emphasizing that the water in the Wo River was drying up. There was also a locust plague.
The villagers immediately became nervous. They all shouted, "What should we do? The wheat needs water right now. Without water, the harvest will be ruined this year."
After discussing for a day, they finally decided to flee the famine.
Confirm that you will leave in three days. In these three days, pack up your things at home and prepare the things you need to buy.
If you have in-laws, you have to go to their house to notify them.
Old Wang returned home and gathered everyone in the main hall. Then he told them about fleeing from the famine.
"Old family, you two should go there tomorrow and tell the Zhao family the news. Let them make some preparations early." Old Mrs. Wang began to arrange things.
Zhang Xing'er's family is not at home at the moment. Zhang Xing'er's mother is from Wudu. Her mother is in poor health and cannot stand the cold. So Zhang Xiucai took his wife to Wudu and opened a private school there to teach and educate people.
"Second brother, you and I will mend shoe soles at home tomorrow. Chengzi, you and your father go to the city and buy some food and oilcloth. And some coarse salt. The younger ones, keep things in order at home." Old Lady Wang made arrangements in an orderly manner.
Everyone calmed down when they saw the old lady Wang's appearance. Only Xiaomi in the old lady Wang's arms could sense that the old lady Wang's body was trembling slightly.
Xiaomi patted Old Lady Wang's back, as if silently comforting her.
After everyone went back to their rooms to pack up, Xiaomi comforted Old Lady Wang, "Grandma, don't be afraid. I will protect you. The old immortal gave me a lot of things. We will definitely be able to reach Wudu safely."
Mrs. Wang held Xiaomi's hand tightly and said, "Don't be afraid, grandma. Our little boy is a lucky boy. If he says he's fine, then he's definitely fine." She said this to Xiaomi as well as to herself.
Xiaomi wanted to appease Old Lady Wang, so she pulled her into the main room and closed the door. Then Kuku went out to get something.
"Grandma, these are given to me by the old immortal. Take them for you."
As soon as the axe and the machete were taken out, Old Lady Wang's heart instantly dropped. With these things in hand, even if someone wanted to steal them, they would have to consider whether they were worthy enough.
"There are also meat buns, pork belly, and beef jerky. Grandma, don't worry. The old immortal also gave me a well. We won't lack water to drink." Xiaomi patted his chest.
This time, Mrs. Wang was no longer panicked. She hugged Xiaomi and kissed him again and again, calling him "good boy".
