Quickly wear in the small world while eating melons

Chapter 282 I am eating melons in the escape article 24

In the following days, the weather became hotter and hotter, and everyone no longer had the energy to cause trouble, nor was they in the mood to watch the show.

The hot weather over the past few days has made everyone's spirits increasingly depressed. After finishing work every day, they just want to lie down and rest, and have no energy to do anything else.

In addition, because it has not rained, everyone in the village has become anxious. If this continues, what will happen to the food this year?

Especially the elderly in the village, they have lived long and have experienced droughts more than once or twice, but none of them were as severe as this one.

Not only did not a drop of rain fall from the sky, the temperature was also getting higher and higher, and it was heading higher!

In the past, when there was a drought, the food production decreased and many people could not survive. If the situation continues, the food in the fields may be completely destroyed.

How many people will be able to survive in the village by then?

As everyone looked at the increasingly lower water levels in the river and wells, the increasingly dry land, and the increasingly burnt crops in the fields, worry rose in everyone's heart.

Many people were so anxious that they couldn't sleep all night, but they had no choice but to pray to God that it would rain soon.

Baiyin sees people kneeling down to pray to God almost every day. Even the Bai family has done so. They are very pious. These scenes move Baiyin deeply.

But Baiyin knew that what they were doing now was useless.

And this is just the appetizer of this drought, the really scary thing is yet to come.

Bai Yin was able to remain calm about the current situation, but Bai Xiaohu and Wang Xiaomei, who also knew about it, were no longer calm.

Although they knew from their daughter that there would be a severe drought and had made some preparations, they still hoped that what their daughter said was not true.

Who would want to leave their hometown when they can live a stable life? They have lived for so long, and the farthest place they have been to is the county town.

And it was a severe drought. Every disaster killed people. I don’t know how many people will die this time. I don’t even know how many of my family members will survive.

Thinking of this, the couple became scared and worried every day.

They were worried about the severe drought, then about what to do on the way to escape, and they were worried about supplies and everyone's safety on the road. Both of them were becoming more and more depressed.

Even if I had the spiritual spring water given by Baiyin, it wouldn't work.

Bai Xiaohu and Wang Xiaomei have discussed it and decided that since the situation is developing as their daughter said, the village should make preparations early.

The situation will get worse in the future, and we will have to flee anyway, so it is definitely better to leave earlier than later.

Now they are considering how to make everyone listen to them?

If he could only convince his own family, Bai Xiaohu might be somewhat confident, but he had no confidence at all in convincing the villagers.

If you want to escape famine, you must stay with the people in the village, so that you can be safe.

If they were alone, they might not know how they died on the road. There were many dangers on the road.

However, the villagers would not consider leaving the place where they have lived for so many years unless they had no other choice and could not survive.

Some elderly people, in particular, will definitely be quite stubborn and would rather die than leave.

However, many families in the village are headed by elderly people. If the elderly people don’t leave, they cannot go against the decision, but they cannot just abandon them.

In order to think of a way to convince everyone, Bai Xiaohu and Wang Xiaomei racked their brains.

Zhou Lian had the same idea as them.

As someone who had experienced it once, she naturally knew how terrible this drought was, and how dangerous it was to escape from the famine. Not only did she have to endure the dangers of natural disasters, but more importantly, there were man-made disasters.

In the previous life, the people in Baijiazhuang would wait until they could no longer survive before they began to flee. By that time, some people in the village were dying of heat and thirst.

Many people were not prepared when they fled, which resulted in everyone having a miserable life on the road and many people died.

And because they fled late, when they set out on the road, there were many refugees on the road, which brought a lot of danger to everyone. And they couldn't find even a blade of grass to eat along the way, let alone any water.

In this life, Zhou Lian wanted the villagers to leave the village earlier, so that they could at least make some preparations and not be left with nothing when they fled. And if they set off earlier, the road would be less dangerous.

Just when Zhou Lian was thinking of a solution, Bai Xiaohu had already taken action.

Because he often went to the city during this period, he soon discovered that something was wrong in the city.

In addition to the fact that food prices had risen to an extremely exaggerated level, making it impossible for many ordinary people to afford it, he also found that many wealthy families in the city had left with their families.

After asking around, he found out that these families had discovered the severity of the disaster and had left to seek refuge with their relatives.

It is said that not only their county has suffered from the drought, but their entire state has been affected, but the severity varies, so the relatives these people have sought refuge with are from other states.

Bai Xiaohu also discovered that people had started dying in the city, from starvation to thirst to heat.

Generally speaking, when there is such a severe drought here, the imperial court should send people to provide disaster relief.

After some inquiries, they found out that not only was there no one to provide disaster relief, but the taxes they had to pay this year were also higher.

Bai Xiaohu felt desperate when he heard the news. Taxes are already very high now, and everyone can barely make ends meet after paying taxes. If taxes are increased again, how can they afford to pay? How can they survive even if they pay?

Moreover, there is such a severe drought this year that the grain harvest is about to fail. This is forcing them to die!

When Bai Xiaohu heard the news, he didn't dare to delay at all and went back to tell everyone.
