Infinite Doomsday: I rely on space to stock up and bully the scum

Faced with drought and water shortage, Daxi Village chose to take drastic measures and harvested the unripe rice, thinking every bit of food they could harvest was a good thing.

However, the neighboring Willow Village made a completely different choice from them.

They hired someone to pray for rain!

A witch holding a magical instrument, wearing strange clothes and with her face painted with colors, danced to the strange music. In front of her was the temporary altar built by Liushu Village, on which were placed several chickens, ducks and a small pig.

Liushu Village has already suffered a heavy loss by offering meat at this time.

When the music slowed down, the witch stopped dancing.

The chief of Liushu Village immediately put on a smile and stepped forward to ask when it would rain.

The witch's face was covered with a thick layer of paint, but her eyes still revealed a hint of displeasure.

"If you pray sincerely to God, it will rain."

As she spoke, her eyes swept over the chickens, ducks, and pork on the altar and she swallowed unconsciously a few times.

Since the witch said so, the village chief naturally couldn't say anything and could only worship her in a nice manner.

On the second day, the offerings on the altar disappeared. Everyone in Willow Village was panicked and suspected that someone had stolen something.

The witch stood up again.

"This means that God has accepted your tribute. Don't worry, God will send rain soon."

Hearing the witch's solemn promise, the village chief and others believed it without a doubt. They saw the people from Daxi Village watching the excitement from afar and felt a little unhappy. They wanted to wait until it rained to see if the people from Daxi Village could laugh.

Just this wait lasted two weeks.

About half a month passed, and apart from the increasingly hot weather and cracked land, the people of Willow Village did not wait for the heavy rain to come.

Just when they wanted to find the witch and others to ask for an explanation, they found that they had disappeared long ago.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I knew it. Those people painted their faces so messily that they must be pretending to be ghosts. Only the fools in Willow Village would believe it."

Daxi Village and Liushu Village have never gotten along well. When the people of Liushu Village saw that they suffered a loss, the people of Daxi Village simply applauded.

As the village chief, Li Shuming thinks more than others.

If the people of Liushu Village were to run out of food, wouldn't the people of Daxixi Village be sitting ducks?

Even if they have food stored now, what about one month later, two months later, or half a year later?

Li Shuming sounded the alarm in his mind. He called all the villagers together and repeatedly reminded them to hide the food and tell others that they did not have much food stored.

Jiang Jiang also understood the essence of being a scoundrel and admired Li Shuming's style very much.

During this period, Jiang Jiang's family has been busy. They put the harvested crops in the threshing floor to dry so that they can be stored for a longer time.

"Grandma, our well is running out of water."

Li Dongliang walked into the house holding a small basin of turbid water.

A few days ago, they could still fetch a few buckets of water every day. Although they couldn't take a shower, it was enough for basic food and drink. But now...

Jiang Jiang looked at every corner of the house with some nostalgia. It seemed that the day of departure was not far away.

It is said that one will never leave one's hometown. Unless one is in a desperate situation, no one will leave easily.

Li Shuming discussed various matters with several clan elders these days, and the house was lit even at night.

He advocated that the people of Daxi Village leave immediately while the drought was not yet serious, but the village elders disagreed. As long as they could stay in the village for another day, they would not leave.

People may leave, but they cannot take their houses and fields with them.

Without a travel permit, they will be treated as refugees by the government, and their houses and fields in Daxi Village will most likely be confiscated by the government.

The situation suddenly became deadlocked.

Until today, the last well in Daxi Village has gurgled twice and no more sweet water has seeped out.

"We have to go! Even if we become refugees, staying in Daxi Village means death!"

Li Shuming became angry and slammed the table.

"Let's go, let's go. If the government has any problems, just come after us." Li Yuan, who was over 60 years old, did not expect that Daxi Village would suffer such a disaster. He closed his eyes silently, intending to live and die with Daxi Village.

"Mr. Yuan?" Li Shuming obviously understood the hidden meaning of Li Yuan's words and found it a little unbelievable.

"You guys go ahead. I'm afraid my old bones can't stand the hard work on the road. I will stay here to guard Daxi Village for you all." Li Yuan coughed a few times and didn't say anything else. He slowly stood up and walked away step by step with the help of a cane.

Li Shuming looked at his back, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and finally uttered a few words: "Master Yuan, don't worry, we will be back."

The decision to flee the famine was made, and the entire Daxi Village began to get busy.

Leaving the children at home to pack up, Jiang Jiang felt that it was time to go to town again.

A month later, Jiang Jiang came to the town again. The town had changed a lot.

In the past, the food stalls on both sides of the street are nowhere to be seen, the restaurants that always smelled of various dishes have closed down, and the old lady who always smiled and asked every child if they wanted to buy candied haws is also gone.

Most of the people walking on the street had pale faces and dull eyes. Jiang Jiang was afraid that they would fall while walking.

The situation was not optimistic. Jiang Jiang lowered his head and hurried towards the Zhou family's mansion.

Along the way, all the grain stores were closed, and some of the grain stores had a mess in front of them, as if something bad had happened before they closed.

When we arrived at the door of Zhou's house, the housekeeper was directing the servants to pack up things and put them on the carriage parked outside the Zhou mansion.

"Butler Zhou, what are you doing?"

When Butler Zhou saw that the person coming was Jiang Jiang, he greeted her warmly.

"Mrs. Jiang, we are glad to see you at last. If you don't come again, we will leave."

"Is the Zhou family leaving too?" Jiang Jiang said as he watched the servants carrying things up and down.

Butler Zhou didn't say anything, but just nodded silently.

Even if the Zhou family left the town, they wouldn't know what to do next.

"Our lady's parents' home is in Jiangzhou in the south. We plan to go there." Jiang Jiang was not an outsider, so Butler Zhou told her directly.

Jiangzhou?

It seems that their destination Yunyang will also pass through Jiangzhou.

If I could follow the Zhou family, I would be much safer.

Jiang Jiang stuffed a tael of silver into Butler Zhou's arms.

"Butler Zhou, can you please allow me to meet Madam Zhou?"

Butler Zhou did not accept the two pieces of silver and returned them.

"Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Zhou knows what you are asking for. She said that the Zhou family will leave town early the day after tomorrow. You people from Daxi Village can follow them if you want, but the Zhou family will not provide you with protection or food."

After saying this, Butler Zhou continued to work.

Jiang Jiang knew that the favor he had done had been used, and if he wanted to ask the Zhou family for help in the future, it might not be that easy.

But she was also very satisfied. After all, she became friends with the Zhou family just for this day.

After leaving Zhou's house, Jiang Jiang originally planned to go home directly, but when she passed by the vegetable market, the scene in front of her made her stop.
