After all, the village chief had been the village chief for so many years, but he was at a loss for a moment and then calmed down.

He took a deep breath and said gratefully to Mrs. Ji:

"Sister, thank you for telling us this. I, Duan Zhiguo, will remember this kindness!"

Mrs. Ji and the others could have chosen not to tell him about this matter, but by telling him everything, it was a huge kindness to their family and Niutou Village.

"It's okay, you must make plans in advance!" Mrs. Ji looked at a few people with uncontrollable worry, "There are still many food sellers in the city now."

After saying the last sentence, she said no more, got up and left.

But the village chief came to his senses, looked at Zhao Chuanyong who was at a loss, and hurriedly said to the village chief's wife:

"Mother Chuanyong, why don't you take out the money at home quickly? Go to the city to buy food as soon as possible! If you go late, it will be gone!"

The village chief's wife quickly took out the broken silver from the cabinet and handed it to Zhao Chuanyong: "Chuanyong, go to the city to buy some food quickly."

Zhao Chuanyong was like a headless fly. He nodded and was about to go out, but was pulled back by the village chief.

He turned around and looked at his father with confusion.

But the village chief hesitated to speak, and finally said:

"After buying the food, go to Qingshan Academy and inform your brother."

Zhao Chuanyong looked complicated for a moment, but nodded in agreement.

After the son's figure disappeared, the village chief said to the village chief's wife:

"Hurry up and ask each household in the village to send a representative to Bazi. This matter is related to everyone's life and death and cannot be delayed any longer."

The village chief's wife also understood that people's lives were at stake, so she took the gongs and drums at home and went out to beat them and shout in the village. Everyone spread the word, and it didn't take long for everyone on the dam to come.

"Let me tell you, what could possibly happen? It's just done to make people miserable!" Wu Xiuhong, Ma Dagui's daughter-in-law, curled her lips.

Her family has been short of food recently, and the family has tightened their belts tightly, trying to get enough water every day.

How much food will be wasted in the stomach if it is pulled out and swayed around?

Everyone around her knew her virtues and did not accept her words.

Seeing this, Wu Xiuhong opened her eyes and cursed in her heart.

These people who hate the poor and love the rich will be punished sooner or later!

No one glanced at Wu Xiuhong. Everyone was talking together, guessing what the village chief was going to say this time.

"clang--"

At this time, they suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums, and everyone fell silent. They saw the village chief standing at the front with a heavy face.

Because of time constraints, the village chief did not say any other bells and whistles, but simply said the following two points.

First, swine fever can spread from person to person in the city. Some people have already contracted the plague and died. The disease cannot be concealed. If we don’t seize the time, it will be too late!

Second, the crops in the fields are not yet mature, but there are still people selling food in the city. This is internal news about the plague, and it is not too late to buy food now!

"The Ji family learned about this through the shopkeeper of Huajian Restaurant! Our village was the first to know that food is of great importance. If we want to survive, we must prepare dry food in these two days. We will set off on time in two days.

Wait for anyone!”

After saying that, the village chief looked like he had aged several years, and he quickly walked back home with his wife.

Liu Yuexiang is still making dry food at home, so they need to go back and help as soon as possible.

The representatives who came to Bazi were still discussing the matter, but when they heard these words, everyone was dumbfounded.

"What do the village chief mean by that?" someone asked with a frown.

"It seems that there is a plague in the city? Are we running away?" Others also reacted.

But isn’t the city in good condition? How can we say there is a plague based on the Ji family’s words? What if everyone buys food but doesn’t have any money left, and finds out that it’s a mistake?

"I think these are all farts!" Wu Xiuhong scolded directly: "Every fart from the Ji family smells good! The village chief's family and the Ji family worked together to deceive us. Is it so easy for the plague to appear?"

She hated the Ji family so much that when she heard that this matter was related to the Ji family, she didn't believe a word:

"Have you heard anyone else in the city say there is a plague? The Ji family is not from the city, they are just telling us nonsense!"

Her spit was flying everywhere, and no one said a word to cater to her. Some people still believed her and said to those around her:

"Anyway, what the village chief said makes sense. At worst, you just have to have less money on hand. You still have to eat the food after buying it. You should be prepared!"

"That's right! I'll go back right away and let my son go!"

"Me too, I just don't know what the current price of food is in the city..."

A group of aunts walked back talking, Wu Xiuhong put her hands on her waist and spat out a puddle of saliva:

"Bah! They are all heartless women who believe whatever they say! Doesn't the money hurt your heart?"

She returned home with a look of disdain on her face. When Ma Dagui saw her coming back, he asked casually:

"What did the village chief say when he called you over?"

Ma Dagui is used to being lazy, so this time he found an excuse to take a nap instead.

Wu Xiuhong became angry when she saw him and rolled her eyes:

"What can it be? They are all lies! Can you believe the Ji family's lies?"

Ma Dagui also had no good impression of the Ji family, so he stopped asking further questions after hearing this.

So at night, when every household in Niutou Village was cooking and grinding dry grains with cooking smoke, they would use the Ma family's cold pots and stoves.

Wu Xiuhong was so fragrant that she couldn't sleep due to the aroma of food. She turned over and cursed bitterly:

"Which bitches are so wicked? They have to cook food in the middle of the night. Why don't you choke these heartless ones to death with a mouthful of rice!"

*

The Ji family also had a busy night.

Except for a few young ones who went to bed, the women stayed up all night, fetching water for cooking and counting the food.

The men were installing the carriage and putting in some necessary things.

Mrs. Ji was very considerate and put a soft mattress inside:

"When the time comes, you will inevitably get bumped when you run, so don't bump into my little girl Miao!"

The whole family worked together to make food, and didn't go to bed until dawn.

Not long after he fell asleep, the village chief knocked on Ji's door again.

Mrs. Ji welcomed the village chief and others in. Before asking, the village chief said solemnly:

"Sister, I know this is a difficult task, but after all, you have experience in escaping. Can you wait until tomorrow to go together so that you can have someone to look after you on the way?"

He looked very ashamed when he said this.

Their whole village has been here for generations, and they have no experience of escaping at all, so bringing them along is a burden.

But after all, he is the head of a village, and he shoulders responsibilities. Even if he gives up his old face, he still has to fight for a glimmer of life for the whole village.

Mrs. Ji said nothing.

From the bottom of her heart, she was very reluctant. After all, it was very convenient for her and her family to go anywhere, but when there were more people, it would be difficult to explain.

Seemingly sensing her hesitation, the village chief immediately promised:

"Sister, with so many lives lost, I beg you to be kind! We will definitely not hold you back. If there is someone who holds you back, it won't be too late for you to leave alone."
