Don't panic when the end of the world comes, the boss of the group has a system

As soon as Li Dalang went down to the cellar, seven guys from the foot of the South Mountain and the foot of the West Mountain ran to the woodshed in a hurry...

Looking at the mess in the front and back yards of the master's house, the people who were originally in a hurry suddenly calmed down when they ran to the woodshed and found Li Laitong.

It was obvious that the master's house was the same as his own, both were looted!

The master is feeling bad! You should stop making a fuss!

……

The 10 boys who followed Li Laitong and Li Dalang back to Lijia Village were between 15 and 18 years old. Most of them were unmarried boys and had never been the head of a family.

When these little boys saw that all the food and things in the house were lost, they were just angry, frightened and upset for a while, but gradually they were fine.

One reason is: they are young and don’t think as far ahead as Li Laitong, an old hand.

Another reason is that every family came to Linjia Village carrying only their valuables.

These young boys, who have never taken care of a household, don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are. They think that their family is not completely destitute and that everything will be fine after some time.

Those of them who are carefree enough can even run to their master's house.

At this moment, Li Laitong definitely couldn't run, and his legs were still shaking when he walked!

Sitting in the haystack in the woodshed, Li Laitong, with weak hands and feet, powerless all over, and uneven breathing, felt as if he had aged 10 years in an instant.

Li Laitong, who had practiced martial arts for more than ten years and was always strong, felt his heart throbbing with pain...

From Dingxi Pass in Dongchu Liangzhou to Anping Prefecture in Yongzhou, there are four large cities, namely Xilan City, Xiding City, Xihe City, and Xiliang Prefecture City.

The escort mission that Li Laitong and Lin Changping had just returned from was: to escort the convoy from Xiding City in Liangzhou, and then escort it to the capital.

A group of escorts set out from Xiding City to the capital, passing through four cities that were hit by drought.

Li Laitong personally witnessed how precious the food and water sold in these cities were!

Li Laitong, who was sitting in the haystack, felt better after a while. He looked at the 10 disciples who had just run to his side and felt a little strange:

These guys came here in a hurry, so why weren't they making any noise?

Were the things in these cellars not lost?

Confused, Li Laitong asked Li Changming who lived at the foot of the West Mountain, "Changming, what's the situation with the families living at the foot of the West Mountain? Are the things in the cellar still there?"

"Master, the food and everything in our home for the five families at the foot of the West Mountain have been lost. If my mother knew about her health..."

When the sensible Li Changming heard his master's question, he choked up while speaking.

-

There are 4 households living at the foot of the east mountain of Lijia Village, 5 households living at the foot of the west mountain, and 3 households living at the foot of the south mountain.

At the foot of Nanshan Mountain there is a Li Family Ancestral Hall and a large drying dam.

Li Changming is 17 years old. He is the great-grandson of the old village chief of Lijia Village 31 years ago. His home is at the foot of the west mountain of Lijia Village.

There are only four people in his family, including him, his parents and a younger sister.

His mother has been bedridden for years and his sister is only 10 years old.

Li Changming, who came from a small family, was very sensible. He studied Wu Zetian with Li Laitong for several years and did not go out as a escort. He just farmed and hunted at home.

The current four generations of the Li family are named "Wan, Lai, Wen, and Chang".

The four generations of the Lin family are currently divided into "You, Chang, Zhi, Yuan"

The name of Lin Baoer, a girl from the Lin family, is derived from the character "艹".

Lin Baoer’s aunt’s generation started with the character “Yu”.

Lin Baoer’s real name begins with the character “艹”, but everyone is used to calling her by her nickname “Baoer”, and no one mentions her real name anymore.

Members of the Lin family, regardless of gender, are named according to their generation.

Most of the people in Lijia Village have not received a proper education, and most of them have nicknames.

-

Li Laitong, who had been mentally prepared, did not react much after hearing what Li Changming said. He continued to ask Li Goudan and Li Shuigen at the foot of Nanshan Mountain: "Li Goudan, Li Shuigen, how are the conditions at the foot of Nanshan Mountain between your two families?"

"Master, the food and things in our two homes are all gone... and there are no more livestock at home..."

When Li Shuigen heard the master's question, before he could open his mouth, Li Goudan, panting and crying, quickly spoke.

-

Li Dalang crawled out of the cellar with weak hands and feet. As soon as he came out of the cellar, he heard what Li Goudan said.

When Li Goudan talked about the livestock he raised, Li Dalang suddenly remembered his own cattle, pigs, chickens, and dogs...

Li Dalang, who had just climbed out of the cellar, supported his trembling body and walked towards the thatched house where livestock and sundries were kept...

The livestock pen in the thatched house was empty, not even a single hair of livestock was there!

The cows, pigs, chickens, dogs... all gone!

Looking at the utility room next to the cowshed, the ox carts, flatbed carts, and wheelbarrows were gone.

The sun in the sky was scorching the earth, and Li Dalang felt his hands and feet were cold...

I was glad that my uncle and I did not ride back the escort agency's horses.

If the escort company's horses were also lost, the consequences would be even more serious. Now, buying an ordinary horse would cost almost 100 taels of silver.

-

When Li Dalang went to check on the livestock at home, Li Goudan and Li Xiaohu, who were surrounding Li Laitong, talked to Li Laitong about the situation at home...

After listening to his disciples' detailed explanation, Li Laitong felt that his heart not only ached, but also felt like it was on fire...

Every household in Lijia Village was looted!

All the clothes, blankets, utensils, food stored in the cellar and livestock fed were gone.

The people of Lijia Village became impoverished overnight and became refugees!

The total population of Lijia Village is nearly 100 people.

How can so many people in the village survive when they have nothing to wear, nothing to cover themselves or to use, and no food?

The weather has not been cold yet during this period. If it suddenly gets cold one day, what will the people in Lijia Village wear or cover themselves with?

Li Laitong, who was extremely worried, sat in the haystack for a long time before the pain and burning sensation in his heart slowly subsided.

After Li Dalang looked around the thatched huts where the livestock were kept, he returned to the woodshed.

Just now when Li Laitong and the others were exchanging information, he couldn't hear clearly from a distance.

Li Dalang, who was not very clear about the situation, asked again: "Goudan, Changming, are all your families as poor as ours?"

"Yes, Brother Dalang, every family in the village now has only empty houses left. Why didn't those refugees who were stabbed set fire to the houses when they left..."

"Li Goudan, you are an idiot! You think the village is not miserable enough? What nonsense are you talking about!"

Li Laitong was also very puzzled: everything in the village was looted, so why didn’t the refugees set fire to Lijia Village when they left?

"Master, we haven't been inside the ancestral hall yet."

Li Goudan, who was scolded, added.

-

It was getting late. My father said we had to get back to Linjia Village before dark. It was a long way to get back to Linjia Village...

This is the situation in the village. There is no point in wasting any more time in the village. You should just go and do what you need to do!

Li Laitong, who was worried, had to face the reality after calming down.

"Let's go! Let's go visit the ancestral hall together and then return to Linjia Village."

After finishing speaking, Li Laitong suddenly remembered that he had not yet asked Dalang whether he had found Li Chunhua and her son.

"Da Lang, did you go to Li Chunhua's house and find her and her son?"

"Uncle San, I went to their house and looked everywhere, but I didn't see them and their son. Their house was empty.

It’s just that I searched for a while but couldn’t find the entrance to their cellar. Otherwise, Uncle San will go over and take a look later.”

"Yes, let's go check out the situation in the ancestral hall first, and then go to Li Chunhua's house after we find out."

-

The Li Family Ancestral Hall faces south and north, with three main rooms made of blue bricks and black tiles, and two thatched side rooms on the east and west sides.

The ancestral tablets of the Li family are all enshrined in the three main houses.

Li Laitong, along with Li Dalang and 11 other people, walked into the courtyard of the Li family ancestral hall.

Looking at the mess in the courtyard of the ancestral hall, Li Laitong knew that the ancestral hall would not be in good condition.

When I walked into the ancestral hall, I saw that it was indeed not good!
