At this time, a donkey cart was driving over in the distance. The villagers looked over and started to say hello.

"Uncle Liu San is back!"

"Third uncle, is there anything new in the city?"

"Did you hear that the Rakshasa devils are coming?"

The driver of the donkey cart, Mr. Liu Sanshu, was a hard-working man with a quick mind. He kept a donkey cart at home and would go to the city every other day, taking along three or four villagers from the villages along the way. For just one penny, you can get a ride into the city, saving you half an hour of walking.

This job may seem inconspicuous, but if you spend a whole day running back and forth, you can earn twenty or thirty cents.

Of course, when people in the village wanted to buy some groceries or send a message, they were willing to ask him for help. He was considered a popular person in the village.

At this moment, he pulled the reins and stopped the ox cart, took out his pipe and filled the pot with shredded tobacco, and was willing to chat a few more words, so it was time to take a rest.

"It's still like that in the city. Almost all the rich people are gone. There's not much movement at the border gate. I guess the Rakshasa devils don't have the guts to go to the border gate to cause trouble. They just wander around in the woods outside."

Everyone listened carefully, because this last sentence stirred up the conversation just now.

"Look, look, I just said it. The Rakshasa devils can't defeat them, the border troops are powerful, and the border walls are thick!"

"That's right, those who ran away are really cowards. They didn't do anything. They scared themselves half to death first!"

"Haha, our village chief is the same. He shows off his power every day, as if he is the most powerful in the world, but in the end, it is really not embarrassing enough!"

The speaker shook his head and curled his lips with disdain.

Some people still had a little bit of conscience left, and couldn't help but say, "The village chief is not bad, but... he just couldn't help it because he was instigated by the Tai family."

"Oh, when it comes to the Tai family, there is something new!" Old man Liu, who was driving the car, was reminded. He banged his pipe pot twice and hurriedly responded.

"There are a few gangsters in the city who are always sneaking around. Xu heard that Taijia Village was evacuated, so he had a bad idea and sneaked there in the middle of the night. As a result, Brother Tai is a powerful man, how could he not There are people left to guard the village."

At this point, he deliberately shut up. As expected, everyone became anxious and urged him.

"Third uncle, you are right, what happens next?"

"That's right. Has the thief been caught?"

Uncle Liu was satisfied and continued with a smile, "It's okay to be caught, at least you won't be punished, but they are not so lucky!

"You also know that the people who guard the village in the Tai family are veterans, and they are very capable. After these thieves were caught, they were tied behind the horses' butts and dragged directly to the city gate.

Fortunately it was winter and there was snow on the road, otherwise I would have been dragged to death!

"This is not over yet. A few thieves were dragged to the city gate, and one of their legs was broken. They froze for half the night. In the morning, the gatekeepers went to check and found that they had only one breath left. They were sent to the hospital and spent half a morning. , to save a life."

Towing in the snow? Discounted legs? Freeze for half the night?

Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but feel scared.

These three items are too much to put on the stall, let alone not missing any of them.

Especially those who were tempted to go to Taijia Village to take advantage, they immediately strangled the little flame of greed in their hearts.

Gold and silver are sweet, but life is more important!

Uncle Liu's excitement was not over yet, and he continued to talk with saliva flying around.

"Let me tell you, these thieves are blind! They don't even think about who Brother Tai is. We have two villages in the north and south, with a radius of a hundred miles. Who doesn't admire them? They actually dare to run and plot, Huh, just leave them alive!" When the villagers heard this, they always felt that they were talking about them, so they smiled and said twice and hurriedly left on the pretext that they had work at home.

Sanshu Liu hadn't finished talking yet, so he asked very strangely, "What's wrong with these people? Usually when this happens, I want to get to the bottom of it, but why don't I want to hear it today!"

His youngest son happened to be there too, and he immediately jumped on the car to help his father clear up his doubts.

"Dad, you don't know. Just now, these people were scolding the village chief and wondering if the Tai family left behind a lot of good things. When you say that, how could they not be afraid!"

Only then did Uncle Liu know the reason. He thought about it and whispered, "Let's go home and discuss it with your mother. We were unwilling to go through the trouble of moving before, but now it's really not good outside, and the people in this village are unreliable. We can't either Find a way to avoid it."

As a son, you must listen to your father!

The father and son returned home, discussed it with the old lady that night, and left at dawn the next morning with Xinruan and the children.

When they met villagers on the road and asked about her, they told her that something had happened to the old lady’s natal brother, and they rushed to visit her.

The old lady's natal family is not close. It's almost a hundred miles to the southwest, and it's also at the foot of a mountain.

In case of trouble, it is convenient to enter the mountain at any time...

Village Chief Dong didn't know that so many things were happening in the village. After a day and night of trekking, everyone finally reached the valley.

Before he could walk in, Village Chief Dong laughed like crazy just looking at the crack in the mountain that was as wide as a person outside.

This is a natural pass. It takes a lot of effort for everyone to enter, but it will be even more difficult for the bad guys. It can be said that as long as you can endure loneliness and hide inside without coming out, there will definitely be no danger.

After passing through the cracks in the mountains, he saw natural caves, springs and pools, and flat valleys. He wanted to kneel down and kowtow, thanking God for blessing such a treasured land!

Tai Jizong has been working here with his people for a long time. The small cave where he lives has two beds of kangs and two earth stoves. From now on, men and women will sleep separately. If a pheasant or rabbit comes back from hunting, there will also be a ready-made stove for making a tooth sacrifice secretly.

Yang Lihua and Liu Dongniang, with Chun Hong and Erya, refused to rest at all. They wrapped their heads in scarves and started busy inside and outside.

The gravel and dirt must be picked up, the dust must be wiped, and straw mats must be laid on the kang. Even the mountain walls under the feet must be booked with straw mats to prevent soil from falling.

Food must be properly placed and protected from moisture and insects, jars of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar must be placed, and boxes and packages of clothes must also be sorted.

The cabbage and radishes brought from home must be neatly stacked and cannot be heated or frozen...

The other families living in the big cave were even busier. Although the large cave has been divided into small compartments with simple stone walls, several families still have to live in one room to avoid bumping into each other.

Fortunately, everyone knows that this is an extraordinary period. If we want to stay together and survive, we must be considerate and tolerant of each other!

Only when everything is discussed and measured, and in a harmonious manner can things last long.

Because there are few people in Dongjiacun, there is a small cave, which makes it easier to pack up.

Village Chief Dong was walking around in the valley. When he saw Mr. Tai, Village Chief Liu and Village Chief Zhang, he almost praised them!

Zhuzhu rode Sesame Ball and followed with her head held high, her pride almost showing on her face.

Mr. Tai did not disappoint his granddaughter. He simply told Zhuzhu to chase the rabbit and discovered this place.

So, all the free compliments from Village Chief Dong and others were directed at the fat girl!

In this way, the fat girl became shy, turned around and ran back to find her mother, which made several old men laugh... (End of Chapter)
