Farming Space: The Lucky and Lovely Lady Come to Farm

There were more and more people along the way, and soon they arrived at the open space in front of the ancestral hall.

The village chief sat in front of the ancestral hall, frowning and smoking a dry cigarette.

Many people ran to ask, "Village chief, why did you call everyone here?"

The village chief lowered his head and said, "Go, go, I'll talk later when everyone is here."

Everyone was idle and bored, and began to gossip. The most talked about was the drought this year. Several families in poor conditions in the village had long been out of food, and could only survive by looking for wild vegetables in the back mountains.

Everyone is sighing, what a life it is.

Seeing that the open space was crowded with people, the village chief shouted, "Are everyone here?"

Everyone responded in a mixed manner: "We're here."

"Village Chief, you always have something to say. You have to go back and cook."

The village chief puffed his pipe a few times and said, "Quiet, quiet!"

"Next, what I want to say is very important, everyone, don't make any noise."

The crowd fell silent, and the village chief climbed onto a stool and waved his hand, "Folks, this year's drought has reached this point, and life is difficult for everyone."

"What I want to tell everyone is that this drought is not something that will happen this year. I'm afraid there will be two more years!"

The crowd immediately went crazy, "Two more years? We won't be able to survive this year. If the drought continues next year, the whole family will starve to death."

"I'm afraid the village chief is not telling the truth. I have lived for decades and have never seen a severe drought for three consecutive years."

Someone shouted, "Village chief, you said there will be another two years of drought. How did you know?"

The village chief picked up the tobacco pole and knocked it hard a few times, "How do I know? My ancestors gave it to me in a dream!"

"believe it or not!"

Last night Gu Laoer showed him the Book of Heaven. It clearly stated that there was a three-year drought in the five northern counties. He was also knowledgeable about the paper on which the Book of Heaven was written. He had never seen that kind of paper. It was strong and light in texture. It's dense and doesn't look like something from the British Dynasty.

He and Gu Zhang had agreed that the heavenly book should not be exposed. If the government found out about it, they would be arrested and imprisoned immediately.

It can only be said to be a dream entrusted to us by our ancestors.

"Quiet, quiet, I haven't finished speaking yet!" the village chief shouted in a straight voice.

"Yesterday, my distant nephew came over and told me the news that the drought is not only affecting our county, but also affects the five surrounding counties!"

"What, so many places were affected?"

"real or fake?"

Not many people know this news, mainly because transportation is underdeveloped in this era, let alone communication tools.

Some knowledgeable people immediately thought in their hearts that if the affected area is large, the food gap will be huge. Even if food can be transported from the south, the price of food will probably rise!

We have to go and stock up on food quickly.

The village chief stood on a stool and shouted at the top of his lungs: "This is the situation. Our village is relatively wealthy, and most families can barely feed themselves. I heard that several families in the next village have already fled the famine."

"I called everyone here today to tell you that my family and Gu Lao'er's family have agreed to leave and go to the south."

"Everyone wants to go together, and there will be someone to look after you on the way. Otherwise, if you run out of food, you will be so hungry that you won't even have the strength to travel."

After the village chief finished speaking, everyone could no longer hold back, and some shouted, "I won't leave. Our ancestors have lived here for generations. If we leave our hometown and become humble, there is no place for us to live outside!"

"That's right, escaping from famine is a good thing. My grandfather escaped from famine. Four of the eight members of his family died on the road."

Another old man said stubbornly: "If I don't leave, I will die at home."
