Chapter 243

This family is also surnamed Lin, and has some relationship with Aunt Lin's family. The house suddenly collapsed in the middle of the night, and an old man inside couldn't escape and died immediately.

Only four survived, a couple with a son and a daughter. The child was well protected and uninjured. The man's hand was broken.

It was this morning that the villagers shoveled away the snow and the family was rescued.

The old man died too suddenly, and the snow was so deep that there was no way to carry him into the mountain and bury him. He could only be placed in a coffin and parked among the ruins.

The village head of Rock Village is already arranging for the middle-aged men in the village to check their own houses, so that this kind of tragedy will not happen again, but this is obviously a temporary solution, not the root cause. The most important thing now is food, and many families have already started to live on tight stomachs. up.

Without food, they would starve to death, if not freeze to death.

A villager went to Lin He and cried: "Village chief, why didn't the supplies arrive this year? They arrived in November last year. Although there were not many, it was enough for us to survive this winter. What about this year? Where are the supplies?"

Lin He also had a very headache, and his hair turned gray a lot: "No! The county magistrate never transported supplies to our rock village at all!"

The villagers couldn't believe it: "How is it possible? Are there any other villages? Have you forgotten us?"

Lin He said with a sullen face: "It seems that there are no other villages."

The villagers are going crazy: "Is the emperor going to abandon us Anzhou people? So there are no supplies, nothing?"

Lin He pursed his lips: "I'm afraid it's not giving up Anzhou, but some barren villages."

The villagers didn't believe it: "It used to be every year, but this year, how will we live this winter? My rice tank is empty, and there are more than a dozen sweet potatoes left, which is enough for a few days?"

After finding out the situation clearly, An's mother locked the gate of the courtyard anxiously.

She returned to the hall, looking at the bright strawberries on the table, her brows could not be drawn.

"Yueer."

An's mother called out, and An Yue, who was playing chess with Lu Jin, turned her head and said, "Mother, what's wrong?"

An's mother frowned and stroked her chest: "I've been restless these days. I'm worried that what if one day Rock Village falls completely due to lack of food? At that time, wouldn’t it be a purgatory for people to survive here?”

"Mother, the more this is the case, the less you can reveal your family's wealth. At that time, we will decide according to the actual situation. I am afraid that the villagers will be hungry and crazy, and there will be food robbing."

This is what An's mother was worried about, and An's father stroked his beard: "Lu Xian's tolerance is still too small. I don't believe that no supplies came, but we are alone, and we can already see that he has been exiled. He still wants to kill them all, alas, he is not worthy of being an emperor."

"How much food is left at home?"

Hearing this question, Ning Qianrou also looked over, and An Yue glanced at her before slowly saying: "The current rations are still available."

Ning Qianrou hurriedly said: "That is to say, after this period of time, it will be gone? Then, wouldn't our whole family also starve? Why don't you buy more food from the county?"

An Yue smiled gently and said, "Where did you get the money, sister-in-law."

Ning Qianrou choked, An Yue looked at her clothes, and said with a worried tone, "If you are willing to sell your clothes for some money, you can buy food."

Ning Qianrou's complexion immediately became ugly. She looked down at the exquisite clothes on her body. This was the most essential difference between her and this group of lowly villagers. They would only treat her as a young mistress, not a village woman.

She didn't want to get into trouble with the An family, so the smile on her face was a bit forced: "Third brother, my sister-in-law doesn't have many decent clothes. These clothes were prepared for me by my parents. I really don't want to spoil their wishes."

An Yue nodded lightly: "So we have to muddle along. If there is no food one day, let's live with our belts."

Ning Qianrou stopped talking now, she lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking about.

In fact, An Yue didn't know how much food was in the house, and she didn't want Ning Qianrou to know that An Shuyao was able to hide things, and she didn't plan to let An's mother and others know.

The fewer people who know about this matter, the safer it will be for An Shuyao.

An's mother sighed: "Our house will not collapse, but we need to save some food. Aunt He, let's put some sweet potatoes in when cooking today, and cook less rice."

Ning Qianrou lowered her head and concealed her complexion. She really couldn't think of anything to eat sweet potatoes, and isn't this something that the untouchables eat?
She has never eaten sweet potatoes since she was a child.

Aunt He looked at the sky, it was noon soon, and there were many people in the house, she also sighed softly, the year of disaster is not easy.

These days, An Shuyao has been quietly taking care of her body in the house, her hands and feet are not so cold, and if she takes good care of her for a month or two, she will probably be able to recover to a good degree.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, An Shuyao immediately put away the golden needle,

Sitting obediently on the chair, Lu Jin took her lunch and entered the room, and put the delicious meal in front of her.

These are all made by Aunt He and Gui Li.

Yan Yu came with a basket of silver charcoal, she poked her head: "Miss, madam is afraid that you will be cold here, so I distributed some silver charcoal from all sides for you."

With that said, she walked in and put it aside, then backed out.

An Shuyao was a little confused: "Okay, why did you transport all the charcoal to my room?"

Lu Jin explained softly: "Mother-in-law is afraid that you will catch a cold, so it's fair."

An Shuyao's meals are all white rice, and chicken soup with red dates that nourishes blood and nourishes Qi.

She looked at the chicken and wondered, "Where did the chicken come from now?"

"Your seventh brother got it."

Now it is difficult to go out, and An Shuyao does not believe that he can go to the mountains.

An Shuyao felt his whole stomach was warm when a bowl of hot red date and chicken soup entered his stomach.

"What happened outside today? It's so noisy."

"A house surnamed Lin collapsed and killed people. Now his house should be settled by the village chief, and he went to Aunt Lin's house."

There were only three members of Aunt Lin's family living in her family, and now there were four more of them, so there were seven people.

An Shuyao thought about Aunt Lin's small house, but she didn't know if she would be able to live there.

She sighed: "I didn't hear about the collapse of the house in previous years, but this year the snow is thicker than in previous years."

"The winter in Anzhou is not easy. You should live in the city. It's too inconvenient here."

There is only one road out of the village, and there is a mountain behind. Once the snow on this mountain falls, the whole village will be flooded.

At that time, it will really be called "every day should not be done, and the earth will not work".

Thinking of this, An Shuyao's eyelids jumped heavily.
