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

Song Shiwei felt that these people's passionate words were really stupid, but he didn't know how to talk too much, so he didn't say anything for a while.

Huang Hai was the most passionate person in the group. He raised the kitchen knife in his hand, his face full of indignation: "Let's fight them. The one above is a coward, but we have been protected by General Xie for many years. Even if General Xie doesn't know who we are, we can't be heartless. At most, we can be heroes again in 20 years."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in Dahe Village echoed them excitedly, waving their weapons and shouting that they wanted to fight.

Song Shiwei's mouth twitched, and he looked expressionlessly at Huang Hai, whose face was flushed with excitement, and glanced at the kitchen knife in his hand: "Are you going to give the other party a weapon?"

"I..." Huang Hai froze instantly.

Huang Changyuan sighed and said, "Mr. Song's concerns are justified. Of course, what you said makes sense. Although our Dahe Village is not a rich place, everyone is a kind person. You are grateful to the general for his kindness. As the head of the village, I am very proud of you."

Seeing everyone's expressions, Huang Changyuan said, "It's fine if we don't know. Since we know someone is going to harm General Xie, we can't just sit back and watch. However, what Mr. Song said is also for our own good. There are many of us, the elderly, the weak, women and children. If we go to fight those bandits who kill without blinking an eye, it's the same as giving up our lives."

"Mr. Song, what do you think? We would be uneasy if we just sit there and do nothing."

Facing Huang Changyuan's vicissitudes of life eyes, which revealed determination, Song Shi curled his lips slightly: "I don't have any brilliant ideas. I just know that you are fighting against the bandits, which is like hitting a rock with an egg. It's just a waste of life. Why bother?"

After saying this, Song Shiwei left without looking at the expressions of the people present. He just thought that these people were extremely stupid, but their passion was indeed moving.

But, so what.

The reason I decided to travel with these people was because I felt that these villagers were kind and easy to get along with. Most importantly, they did not take anything for granted and were grateful instead. Even if they couldn't give anything good as a token of gratitude, every household would give them the best things they had at the moment.

Originally, Song Shiwei thought it was good to travel with them all the time, but now, he couldn't help feeling depressed. Sometimes being too kind is not good. People stand between heaven and earth, and kindness must be accompanied by some edge and brains.

Looking at the sky, Song Shiwei let out a breath, sighed lightly, and walked into the tent, no longer caring about what they were going to do.

Zhang Wu came back amid the noise and went straight to Song Shiwei's tent, panting heavily, obviously he had run all the way back.

Song Shiwei opened the tent and came out, looking at him intently, and suddenly asked, "Do you think the same as them?"

Zhang Wu's face was full of confusion.

Song Shiwei added: "If you also want to rescue the General Xie they mentioned like them, I won't stop you."

Zhang Wu shook his head repeatedly: "I don't have those thoughts. I tried to persuade them before, but they didn't listen. So I came back to ask the master whether we should leave now."

Song Shi raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised by Zhang Wu's words, but a smile appeared in his eyes: "Since you are back, let's pack up and leave, but after all, we are together for a while, you can go and say goodbye to the village chief later."

"it is good."

Zhang Wu packed up his things quickly, then fed the horse beans and water. After everything was ready, he said something to his master and went to find the village chief.

Song Shiwei stood beside the carriage with his hands behind his back, watching Zhang Wu and the village chief walk aside and talk in a low voice, and noticed that the two men walked over together after they finished talking.

Huang Changyuan bowed slightly towards Song Shiwei, with a look of regret on his face: "I heard that you two were about to leave. You two have taken good care of me along the way, so I came here to thank you. If we are lucky enough to meet again in the future, I will definitely repay you for your kindness."

"You are too polite, village chief. We are traveling together, so there is no question of who will take care of whom. Besides, along the way, the uncles and aunts in the village would give us some of the wild vegetables and wild animals they picked. When it comes to taking care of us, your village still has more."

"But Zhang Wu and I really don't want to get involved in other things right now, so we're going our separate ways."

Huang Changyuan nodded slightly: "It was originally decided by our village. We really shouldn't have dragged the two young masters into it. No matter the result is good or bad, it is our own choice. I am here, I wish you two a safe journey."

Song Shiwei was very satisfied with the attitude of the village chief and smiled a little. However, thinking about what they were about to do, he whispered, "Although I have no right to stop you, I would like to remind the village chief that it is not wise to fight against the enemy with eggs. I believe everyone knows that the bandits can be outsmarted. I heard that General Xie's family is very skilled, so I think the officers escorting them are also quite skilled."

There was no need to make the words too clear. Song Shiwei was sure that the village chief would understand the hidden meaning, so he got on the carriage after he finished speaking.

Zhang Wu untied the rope tied to the tree, jumped onto the carriage swiftly, whipped the horse and nodded to the village chief.

The carriage sped away, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Huang Changyuan stood there without moving. His old body stood straight, looking at the carriage going farther and farther away, and finally bowed and bowed.

Huang Ping came over at some point and stood beside Huang Changyuan, also looking at the carriage going away: "Dad, are Zhang Wu and the others gone?"

"It's better to leave, so as not to be dragged down by us."

Huang Ping didn't quite agree with what he said, and retorted without thinking: "How can it be a burden? The bandits are numerous and powerful, but we have a lot of people too. If we make good arrangements, we may succeed."

Huang Changyuan didn't say anything. He sighed deeply, then turned and left with his eldest son.

The villagers noticed it when the village chief passed by, and also saw the carriage leaving. When the village chief came back, no one asked any questions, and no one complained about the two people leaving. In the final analysis, it was just a different choice.

Huang Changyuan saw the expressions of the crowd and was pleased. He forced a smile and waved for everyone to come over. Then he said, "Mr. Song mentioned me a few words before he left. I'll tell you my thoughts as well."

Seeing everyone's concentration, Huang Changyuan continued, "I think everyone understands that we will definitely die if we fight against the bandits. Young Master Song is right. General Xie has been fighting on the battlefield for many years and his skills must be extraordinary. The officers in charge of escorting them must also be much more skilled than ordinary officers. We will not necessarily lose if we fight against the bandits head-on, but the bandits also understand this, so they choose to launch a surprise attack."

Huang Ping thought for a moment, "Dad, what do you mean?"

Huang Changyuan smiled and said, "Take a few people with you to the official post and tell the officials to prepare. I think those bandits would not dare to go there in broad daylight. They will definitely act at night. We still have time to make some preparations."

"Everyone hurry up and pack up. We will hurry on and try to get ahead of the bandits as soon as possible. Chen Qiang and Liu Dong, you guys hunt all year round. When the time comes, you can lead us to set some traps on the road that the bandits must pass. This will at least buy some time and allow us to make more preparations for General Xie."

A head-on confrontation is definitely not an option. After all, since I brought a village with me to escape the famine, I should be responsible for them. This is also thanks to Mr. Song's advice before he left. This arrangement will surely reduce unnecessary sacrifices.
