Mountain wild man Ziwang and his wife

Chapter 168 It's not good, the county magistrate has hanged himself!
"His father, are you back?" A woman greeted the returning man, and her heart skipped a beat when she saw the empty sack in his hand: "Didn't you buy any food today?"

The man nodded: "I didn't buy it."

"If you can't buy it, you can't buy it. The food in the family can last for a while, so don't worry." The woman said that before, in order to make money, their family only kept a month's ration, and the rest of the food was sold.

The man nodded, but he was not as sure as before, but rather worried.

I want to say that the village head has more knowledge than them, and it is right to tell them not to sell grain.

But subconsciously he didn't want to believe it.

"I'll check it out tomorrow," he said. "I've saved some food for the past few days. If I have time, I'll go dig some wild vegetables. I think Yin's family has already dug bamboo shoots. Tomorrow, you will take a few children up the mountain to have a look."

I couldn't buy food for several days in a row, and I felt uneasy.

The woman agreed to come down.

On this day, many people had similar conversations about not being able to buy food, but they did not want to believe that food could not be bought all the time.

As long as there are Changping warehouses, they will be able to buy grain sooner or later.

Country people think so, and city people think so too.

midnight.

Suddenly, a huge fire broke out in the county town, and the flames lit up the sky red.

Soon, the water gong sounded, waking up countless dreamers.

Everyone put on their clothes one after another, and there was a snowstorm at night, but the cold wind couldn't stop people from going out.

Hastily.

Very hasty.

Someone climbed a ladder to the roof, where the location of the fire could be clearly seen.

It's just that after seeing it clearly, many people lost their legs, and some even accidentally fell off the roof.

oh my god oh my god

Wang Ershun stared at the direction of the fire, and slumped down on the roof, with his mouth open but unable to breathe.

"Where did the water start?" His father raised his head and yelled at him in the courtyard. There were many people standing in the snow in the courtyard. Wang Ershun.

"Chang...Chang Pingcang...Chang Pingcang..." Wang Ershun slowly turned his head to look at the people in the courtyard, and opened his mouth.

"Speak up, I can't hear you clearly!" The old man got angry, a big man couldn't help it, what did he say?Or is it his cub?
Wang Ershun swallowed his saliva, and shouted with all his strength: "Changping warehouse is flooded! Changping warehouse is flooded!"

Hearing this, the old man's eyes darkened and he passed out!

For a while, the small courtyard was in chaos.

Chaos spread like a plague.

dawn.

The old man of the Wang family woke up slowly, and his son Wang Ershun, who was guarding by the bed, suddenly became happy, and he shouted at the top of his voice, "Father is awake!"

"Has Chang Pingcang been rescued?" The old man asked, holding Wang Ershun's hand tightly, Wang Ershun's eyes dimmed, and the old man's question washed away the trace of joy that had just risen in his heart.

He shook his head: "It was burned cleanly, not only the Changping warehouse, but also the official warehouse." In Daliang, the Changping warehouse also belonged to the imperial court, but it was used by the common people to balance the market price of grain. of.

When the grain is cheap, it will increase the price to buy grain, and when the grain is expensive, it will lower the price to release grain.At the same time, Chang Ping warehouse also shouldered the heavy burden of disaster relief in disaster years.

But the official warehouse is not, the official warehouse belongs to the granary for combat readiness.

Set up to prevent war, except for supplying surrounding troops during wartime, it is usually not allowed to open warehouses.

There are two opening times for the official warehouse every year, during the summer harvest and autumn harvest respectively, when the newly harvested grain is used to replace the old grain in the official warehouse, and then the old grain is filled into the Changping warehouse.

"Even... even... the official storehouses are also on fire..." The old man was taken out of his energy all of a sudden, but he soon pulled himself together and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the state government won't sit idly by Ignore it, the food will be dispatched."

After finishing speaking, he asked a woman who had just entered the house: "How long will our family have enough food?"

The woman said: "I can still eat for a month."

The old man breathed a sigh of relief: "From now on, the food will be halved..."

The woman replied: "Yes, Father."

"Third daughter-in-law, let the third child accompany you back to your mother's house today to see if you can buy some grain in the village. Don't be afraid of miscellaneous grains and fine grains, as long as you can buy them, you can buy some back."

"Yes, Father." Another woman followed suit.

……

Huaishu Village.

Almost everyone who rushed to the county town early in the morning to buy grain returned to the village in a daze. Instead of going home, they went straight to Yin's house.

The Yin family just finished their lunch, and they all looked depressed.

"What's wrong? Someone bullied you?" Yin Gui frowned.

The leading man swallowed his saliva, and he opened his mouth to make a hoarse voice: "Village chief, something...something has happened!"

"What's the big deal?"

"Changping warehouse, Guancang... last night... last night... was completely burned down by a fire!"

Yin Gui's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, "What are you talking about? Both Changping warehouse and Guan warehouse were burned?"

Several people nodded.

It's just that it's not over yet.

"The county... the magistrate of the county has hanged himself." Another humanely said.

"The granary guard hangs himself, runs away..." What's wrong with not running, waiting to be caught and beheaded?

This is the great crime of beheading!
No one can bear this crime, so even the county magistrate hanged himself.

When Xu heard the words, she sighed in her heart. Fortunately, she listened to her granddaughter!
Buy food!

Buy and buy!
Even the official storehouses have been burned right now, and the price of food will definitely skyrocket!

"Hurry up, hurry up and tell the whole village to gather at the entrance of the village!" Yin Gui dismissed these people irritably, the granary was burned, and the county magistrate hanged himself, feeling that the county was going to be in chaos.

Yin Gui hurried out, and several members of Yin's family also followed, but Yin Tao didn't follow, she asked a few children to go up the mountain to collect firewood.

Yin Tao felt that the catastrophe was yet to come.

This is the beginning.

Don't ask her why she thinks that, she just thinks it doesn't make sense.

If I have to explain why, I must thank the ten years of the end of the world for training her sensitivity to danger, hunger, and disaster.

After going up the mountain, she wandered around, and whenever she saw wild vegetables, she used a little supernatural ability to quickly turn a small clump of wild vegetables into a large field of wild vegetables.

This is the only thing she can do for the villagers. It is impossible to distribute food, but it is still possible to make more wild vegetables grow in the mountains.

Wild vegetables, bamboo shoots, yams...

Yin Tao did a lot of things, and the ground was covered with a thin layer of snow. If you don't pay attention, you won't be able to notice how amazing the land under the snow has changed.

"It's snowing heavily, let's go back." There were some wild vegetables in the small box in Yin Tao's hand, and the children said in amazement, "Little aunt, where did you pick wild vegetables? There are so few of them in winter."

Yin Tao casually pointed to a place, "It's right there, there are many more, if you like to eat, we'll go up to pick it another day. Well, it's snowing heavily and it's very cold, let's go down the mountain quickly."

The ability has been used up seven to eighty-eight, and she has to go home to rest.

"Okay, then let's go home quickly."

"Little aunt, carry the basket for me."
