Chapter 8 008: Famine Preparations

Chapter 8 008: Preparation for Escape

After buying the cow, Mu Shiquan asked his two brothers to wait while he went to buy something else.

After visiting two medical clinics, Mu Shiquan bought medicine to treat typhoid fever and some medicine to treat trauma.

After finishing the shopping, I went to the cloth store again and bought some thick cloth. I was going to let my wife make more shoes and clothes.

"Third brother, you bought too many things. This is not how you spend your money. If you don't leave some money, you will settle down in the future!" Mu Shigao said worriedly as he looked at the things in the car.

"Brother, don't worry, I still have money left. These things can be used on the way to escape."

"Okay, as long as you know what's going on."

The three of them drove the bullock cart back to the village. By the time they returned to the village, it was already noon.

There were not many people in the fields at this time, everyone was having lunch or resting at home. So when they returned to the village, few people knew about it.

After the oxcart was bought, Mu Dabin asked Mu Shigao to go to Dahe Village and ask his son-in-law and his family if they wanted to escape the famine together.

As for the three daughters-in-law's natal families, Mu Dabin also asked the three daughters-in-law to go home and ask if they wanted to escape.

Mu Shigao drove an ox cart to Dahe Village.

"Dong dong dong" Mu Shigao knocked on the door.

"Here we come." Mu Yanqiu responded from inside the room.

When he opened the door and saw his eldest brother, Mu Yanqiu was a little surprised, "Why is eldest brother here?"

"I need to see you if I have something to do."

"Brother, come in quickly." Mu Yanqiu quickly welcomed Mu Shigao into the door.

"Ms. sir, eldest brother is here."

Liu Wei heard his wife's shout and hurriedly came out of the room.

"Brother is here, come and sit in the room."

When they arrived at the main room, Mu Yanqiu quickly poured a glass of water for Mu Shigao, "Brother, drink some water quickly."

Mu Shigao was not polite. He took the water and drank it in a few gulps. After drinking two bowls of water, Mu Shigao slowly explained his purpose.

After hearing this, Liu Wei and his wife couldn't believe it.

Liu Wei asked: "Brother, is the situation really that serious? Although it's heaven-defying, it's not to the point of fleeing from poverty, right?"

Mu Shigao told what he had inquired about, and then informed the village of what had been discussed.

"Brother-in-law, eldest brother, I have said so much. You understand the seriousness of the matter. So, do you and your family want to escape together?" Mu Shigao said with a dry mouth.

"This...brother allows us to discuss it with our parents and brothers. This escape is a big deal, and I can't make the decision alone."

Mu Shigao nodded, "Okay, you can discuss it among yourselves. The results will be given tomorrow. You can let someone tell you whether you want to go or not."

"I'm going home first. There are still a lot of things to do at home." After Mu Shigao finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave.

Mu Yanqiu and Liu Wei hurriedly sent him out. After Mu Shigao left, Liu Wei went to discuss with his family.

Liu Wei and his family discussed it for an hour before deciding to escape together.

Liu Wei's father also informed the village chief of Damu Village's plan to flee famine.

After hearing the news, Gao Lin, the head of Dahe Village, felt that Damu Village was making a fuss out of a molehill. He was so frightened that he ran away at the slightest sign of trouble. He was really as timid as a mouse.

Seeing that the village chief didn't care, Liu Wei's father didn't say much. Anyway, he brought the news, and the decision was all the village chief's business.

However, Liu Wei's father still told his brothers and familiar villagers about the news.

By the next day, none of the relatives and friends that Liu Wei's father had notified came to the door. Liu Wei's father also understood what they meant and was not prepared to flee.

Since no one else was following him, Liu Wei's father asked Liu Wei to go to Damucun and inform him of his decision.

Zhao Yunshan asked: "Mom and dad, what are your plans?"

Zhao Yunshan was also very distressed. She did not expect that her business would encounter a natural disaster just as it was about to start!

Zhao Shitou had a grimace on his face and didn't say anything. Li, on the other hand, looked like he didn't know what to do.

Zhao Yunshan looked at her thin younger brothers and sisters again. They were looking at her blankly.

Zhao Yunshan sighed deeply, "Mom and dad, we'd better follow the village chief and the others."

"The respected elders in the village unanimously decided to flee. This means that the situation is no longer good. So leaving together is the best choice."

Zhao Yunshan did not dare to underestimate the wisdom of the ancients. Faced with such a natural disaster, it was better to stay together. Fighting alone, she did not have the confidence to survive with her family.

"I'll listen to you, Ayun."

Zhao Shitou knew in his heart that in the face of natural disasters, only everyone can survive together.

However, he couldn't let go of his parents. Although they didn't treat him very well, after all, they gave birth to him and raised him.

Zhao Shitou prepared for a while and secretly went to the old house to ask his parents if they really didn't want to flee.

Zhao Yunshan knew what her father was thinking when she saw Zhao Shitou's expression. She wouldn't stop him!

What can she do if her father wants to be a filial son? There is nothing she can do to persuade her. It is better to ask her father to go there.

When her grandma scolds her, her father will know what happened.

Zhao Yunshan continued: "Since we are going to flee, we should pack up our things. We must prepare everything we need to prepare."

They don't have any land, so they don't have to worry about harvesting food. As for the things to prepare, she needs to think carefully.

"Mom and dad, after ten days, you will help people in the village with more fields to collect grain for free. When the grain is collected, ask if you can buy some back."

"Okay." Zhao Shitou nodded.

"If you can buy more food, buy more. You don't know how long you will have to run away from famine. So prepare more food. It will be delicious on the way."

Li said timidly: "Ayun, we bought too much food and we can't take it away."

"Your father and I can only push something weighing one to two hundred kilograms. If it's heavier, we can't push it either."

"I will find a way." I don't know how much it will cost to buy a bullock cart?

Zhao Yunshan wanted to say something else, but after thinking about it, she decided to forget it. Anyway, she was the one who made the decision in the family now, so she could just think about it herself.

Afterwards, Zhao Yunshan went back to the room and counted how much silver she still had. She had sold two recipes and got three hundred taels of silver. She spent more than a dozen taels on purchasing ingredients.

I also bought some other random things, and now I have two hundred and sixty-three taels left.

Afterwards, Zhao Yunshan took out charcoal and paper and began to write down the things she needed to prepare for her escape.

After thinking for half an hour, she made sure that there was nothing missing. She folded the paper and put it in her purse.

Then she went out to find the village chief, hoping to ask the village chief's son to send her to the county tomorrow and help her take a look at the ox carts.

After communicating with the village chief's family, Zhao Yunshan went back home with peace of mind.

On the way back, Zhao Yunshan learned from several children that Sister Qinghe's family had bought a bullock cart.

Zhao Yunshan hurriedly went to Mu's house to inquire about the news, and learned from Sister Qinghe the price of the oxcart and the place to buy the oxcart.

Knowing the price of ox carts, Zhao Yunshan decided to buy two ox carts, one for people and one for carrying things.

The next day, early morning.

Zhao Yunshan took a bullock cart to the county early. Of course, she also called her father.

To buy two ox carts, both she and her father must learn to drive ox carts. Otherwise, when the time comes to buy ox carts, there will be no one to drive them, which will be troublesome.

Zhao Yunshan and the others went straight to the cattle market to buy cattle. After buying the cattle, they learned to drive a cattle cart on the spot. After learning for a quarter of an hour, they slowly got started.

After Zhao Yunshan and the others learned the lesson, the village chief's son drove away to go shopping.

Zhao Yunshan also took Zhao Shitou to buy some things. It took Zhao Yunshan about an hour to buy all the things she listed.

Looking at the things in the two cars, Zhao Yunshan felt relieved. These things were all used by their family to survive.
