Natural disasters in books: I stockpiled goods to escape famine in ancient times

Wei Xiong walked in front, leading the three people to the residential land chosen by everyone in Dahe Village.

Along the way, Song Shiwei had been looking at the environment of the deserted village. It had a larger population and more wasteland than the desert village, and the two villages were built on the same mountain.

In other words, if Song Shiwei wants to come to Xiahuang Village in the future, he only needs to take the small mountain path behind his house to reach the settlement of Dahe Village.

After walking for about five or six minutes, the group arrived at the residential land of Dahe Village. It was a field of knee-high weeds and a lot of broken stones on the ground. On both sides were either woods leading into the mountains or overgrown weeds. It looked very desolate.

Wei Xiong pointed to the front and said, "That's the homestead they chose. I originally thought it was unsafe to live here because it's too close to the mountains, but they seem to be very satisfied with it. I heard that there are many good hunters among them. There are so many of them, and they can take care of each other if they live here, so I didn't persuade them too much. They also chose this piece of land for future reclamation."

Song Shiwei smiled when he heard this, then turned to Zhang Wu and said, "We think the same thing."

Zhang Wu has been in an unusually high mood since he came to Xiahuang Village, and now his face is full of smiles: "The village chief has a lot of people, it's good to live here, but I don't know where the others have gone."

"You three have come at an unfortunate time. The heads of each household have gone to the city with their household registration and residence permits. The women and children who stayed behind have gone into the mountains with the villagers to fetch water and pick wild vegetables while the sun is still low."

Since they could go into the mountains with the people from the deserted village, they thought these people would be easy to get along with, so the master and servant felt relieved.

After all, they have been working together for such a long time, and it is quite comfortable to get along with Huang Changyuan and the others. None of them are the kind of people who would take advantage of others. Song Shiwei actually likes interacting with them.

Every time Song Shiwei watched the lives of the villagers, he would feel dazed. It turned out that this was not just as simple as a book.

Every person I come into contact with and every place I pass by are alive and well, within reach.

While Wei Xiong was talking, a group of people came down from the mountain. Some of them carried backpacks and baskets in their hands, some held sickles and carried wood on their shoulders, and there were two people, one in front and one behind, carrying wooden barrels filled with water, and came down the mountain with smiles on their faces.

The four people standing at the foot of the mountain looked at the people going down the mountain at the same time.

Song Shiwei saw a familiar figure among the women in the back, turned around and looked at Zhang Wu with a smile, his eyes teasing: "You were thinking about him before, but now that you see him, you don't go to help."

Zhang Wu blushed and wanted to move forward but was worried about something and was very hesitant.

Song Shi smiled and said, "There are so many people here, what are you afraid of? Just go now."

When Li An and Wei Xiong heard Song Shiwei's words, they all looked at Zhang Wu with ambiguous looks.

Zhang Wu glanced at his master, and immediately plucked up his courage. He straightened his back and walked towards the crowd. Facing the stares of the people coming down the mountain, Zhang Wu looked straight ahead, jumped over the crowd and walked straight to Huang Ying, who was staring at him with wide eyes. With a big hand, he took the basket full of wild vegetables from Huang Ying's hand.

"Brother Zhang!"

Meeting Huang Ying's surprised and bright eyes, Zhang Wu's face turned red all the way to his ears. He hummed dully and walked forward carrying the basket of vegetables.

Song Shiwei, who was watching from afar, immediately held his forehead and sighed.

"Miss Song, is that girl Brother Zhangwu's wife?"

Song Shiwei ignored Li An's gossipy face, and his smile faded. He said seriously, "Don't talk nonsense. They are both unmarried men and women, innocent, and their reputations cannot be tarnished."

Li An nodded repeatedly: "I misunderstood."

Song Shiwei turned his head slightly, raised the corner of his mouth, and raised his chin towards Zhang Wu: "However, my guard Xinyue Huang will inevitably come to Xiahuang Village often in the future. When she does, I will need the village chief to take care of her."

Wei Xiong nodded quickly: "Of course, of course. My little brother is a rare talent, and the girl is also pretty and charming. The two of them are very well matched standing together. If it really comes to fruition in the future, I would like to ask for a glass of wedding wine."

"Then I'll take advantage of the village chief's good wishes. I'll definitely invite you to the wedding banquet when the time comes."

Wei Xiong agreed with a smile, then he remembered what Song Shiwei had just said, that the young man who looked very capable was actually the bodyguard of this girl.

Wei Xiong attached much more importance to Song Shiwei in his heart. After all, those who could travel with guards nowadays were all from aristocratic families.

People from Xiahuang Village not far away came down the mountain. Among them, the people from Dahe Village immediately surrounded Zhang Wu. They talked to each other and showed great concern for how they had been apart since they got separated.

"Xiao Zhang, how come you and Xiao Song got separated from us? When did you arrive here? Do you have a place to stay now?"

"Why are you the only one I see? Where's Xiao Song? Did you get separated as well?"

"Xiao Zhang, we will settle down in Xiahuang Village from now on. If you don't have a place to stay, why not come with us? We are all familiar with each other and can take care of each other."

There were things like this, and he didn't even have time to speak. Zhang Wu was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

Huang Ying stood aside, covering her mouth and laughing secretly. Finally, she squeezed in to interrupt the aunts: "I know everyone cares about Brother Zhang. Let's not be anxious. The aunts should also give Brother Zhang a chance to speak."

The women immediately quieted down and looked at Zhang Wu with burning eyes.

Zhang Wu looked towards his master opposite him for help. The women noticed and looked in the direction he was looking. What they saw was shocking.

Wow, I saw a fairy in broad daylight?

Only Huang Ying was stunned at first, and then subconsciously turned to look at Zhang Wu. Seeing that he was staring at the woman opposite, her heart skipped a beat, and her bright eyes dimmed in an instant.

Song Shi smiled slightly, walked slowly to the front of everyone, and said in a soft voice: "Aunts, long time no see."

The women blinked in tacit understanding, looking at Zhang Wu and then at Song Shiwei with confusion on their faces.

Zhang Wu immediately walked out of the crowd and stood beside Song Shiwei: "The master is Xiao Song that the aunts are concerned about."

Song Shi's smile deepened: "It was inconvenient to wear women's clothes when going out before, so I wore men's clothes to show people. It was not intentional to hide it from everyone. Aunts, please don't blame me."

The women were instantly in an uproar, and Huang Ying's eyes widened.

There is a limit to what can be done with men, but as for girls, since they are all women, there is no need to be considerate at all. Therefore, after the women came to their senses, they pushed Zhang Wu away, pulled Song Shiwei's hands excitedly, looked left and right, and were very curious.

"Oh, Xiao Song turns out to be a girl. No wonder I always thought Xiao Song was so delicate and tender that she didn't look like a man."

"Our Xiao Song is so pretty when she becomes a girl. She is prettier than any other girl I have ever seen."

Song Shiwei was a little uncomfortable being pulled by everyone, but he did not struggle. He looked at everyone with a smile: "Zhang Wu and I arrived here half a month earlier than you. We have already settled down in the Damao Village and built a house. It's only a few miles from Xiahuang Village to Damao Village, so it's very close."

Hearing this, the women laughed at the same time.

Just settle down, then you will have a home.
