The time-traveling lady is too fierce

Chapter 57: Decision to Escape

Shi Dalang came to the village chief's house. When the village chief saw Dalang, he warmly invited him into the house.

"Dalang, have you finished your house? You don't need to go hunting today? Why do you have time to come to my place? Is there something?" Village Chief Shi was quite curious. Why did Shi Dalang come to him? It couldn't be because he helped Shi Dalang, and Shi Dalang came to chat with him today. This was not like Shi Dalang's personality. Besides, Shi Dalang was not a person who liked to chat.

"Village Chief Shi, I have something important to discuss with you. Do you think we can call the village elders?" Shi Dalang didn't want to waste time talking nonsense, so he called all the people who could make decisions in the village. This would save him the trouble of explaining to each one of them.

"What big deal is going on, Dalang? I'm scared when you say that!" Village chief Shi saw Dalang's expression, which was quite serious. It was definitely not a good thing!

"The village chief does have an important matter to discuss with everyone. This matter concerns the lives of all the villagers!" After Shi Dalang said this, the village chief Shi was so scared that cold sweats broke out!

He quickly asked his sons to call several prestigious elders in the village to his home.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, several elders came to Village Chief Shi in a hurry.

"Zhi'an, your eldest son said he has something important to tell me. What is it? I still have to pick beans at home!" This elder is more than ten years older than Shi Cunchang and is almost seventy years old, so he calls the village chief by his nickname. The village chief's full name is Shi Zhi'an.

"Yeah, Zhian, why did you call all of us old guys here? What's the big deal?" The elders in the group behind were not young either.

"I asked Village Chief Shi to call you here, elders. Today, my wife and I went to the city to buy food and heard an important news. I must discuss it with the elders." At this time, Shi Dalang took over the conversation.

"What happened to Dalang?!" The oldest elder in the clan also realized the seriousness of the matter, because Village Chief Shi was sweating profusely, so he knew it was a serious matter.

"In fact, I found out something was wrong in the first few days. I just didn't expect things to be so serious. Village chief Shi and several elders, the thing is, in the past half month, I found that the price of food in the city has been rising rapidly, and there has been a trend of looting, so my wife and I went to buy food again today, and deliberately inquired about it. It turned out that the dazi had come to our place to loot food and massacre the people! Several villages have suffered, and some villagers have fled to our place, so the news has spread, so I want to discuss with the village chief and elders, and quickly let the villagers collect the food in the fields and take it home, find a way to dig a cellar to hide it, and then our entire village will flee to Kyoto. Even if we don't go to Kyoto, towns closer to Kyoto are safer than here. We are remote here, and we are close to the dazi. If a war breaks out, our village will definitely not be able to be saved. I know everyone is reluctant to leave their hometown, but as long as things here are settled in the future, we can move back. Now saving our lives is the most important thing!" Shi Dalang simply said what he wanted to express.

After hearing this, several clan leaders and Village Chief Shi were silent for a long time. Finally, the oldest clan elder said, "Da Lang, there are quite a few people in our village. It will be a big deal if we flee. I think we should discuss it with the villagers. For public security, you should tell all the men in the village tomorrow that those who are willing to flee with the main force will go together, and those who are willing to stay here, we can't force them!" Da Lang heard that the clan leader was willing to go with him!

The elders are so old, they are willing to go with Shi Dalang, and the village chief Shi's family will definitely follow. Even if they are reluctant to give up their family property, Dazi is a ruthless person. If the village is really massacred, what is the use of this family property? The most important thing is that the family is together in peace. Besides, Dalang said that after the matter is settled, they can come back and rebuild their home!

"Brother, since you have made up your mind, we old guys all agree! We old men are not afraid of death, but the children at home are still in their prime! How can we lose our lives like this? We have to consider the young people in the village and we have to take the lead!" Shi Dalang took a look and thought, no wonder these people could be the elders of the village, they are all reasonable people!

"Several elders, since we all agree, then tomorrow you, Village Chief Shi, should hold a meeting. The first step is to talk about the matter, and then we will ask the villagers to rush home to collect food, the more the better, and then prepare to take things away! This trip may take a month or two on the road, so everyone should bring enough food and clothes! Those who can afford a cart should buy one, and those who can't should hurry up and find someone to do it! In short, make all preparations for the trip!" Shi Dalang said to Village Chief Shi. Village Chief Shi's mind was in a mess, and with Shi Dalang beside him to remind him, he felt more confident.

"Dalang, you are a capable person. If the whole village flees together and something happens on the road, you can help me come up with more ideas. I have never experienced such a thing! Although you are young, I can see that you are a capable person! I think the elders will also fully support you!" Since Shi Dalang told him such important news, it means that Shi Dalang has Shijia Village in his heart!

"As long as the elders believe in me, I, Shi Dalang, will do my best to protect the people of the whole village and help them get through this disaster safely!" Several elders nodded, indicating that they believed in Shi Dalang!

Then Shi Dalang and the others discussed what to say tomorrow and what to do next, so they asked the elders to go home and tell their families.

When several elders returned home, they told their families about their visit to Shicun's house. Everyone was shocked! When they heard that Dazi had massacred the nearby villages, they were all terrified! At that moment, they all agreed to flee first and come back after things stabilized. After all, human life is more important than anything else!

Several daughters-in-law also wanted to inform their natal families, and the elders all nodded in agreement, asking the daughters-in-law to hurry to their natal families to deliver the letters.

So before the meeting the next day, everyone in the village knew that the whole village was going to flee. The whole village was in a panic, and they were also worried about the food in the fields. Some people would start to harvest the food tomorrow.

Some were quick to find wood and make wheelbarrows, and some had clear division of labor, dividing the work between those who worked in the fields and those who dug cellars! In short, no one even had time to be afraid, they were busy escaping!
