Shi Dalang, the village chief and several elders here are telling all the villagers in Shijia Village the main purpose of today.

Although the people in Shijia Village all knew the main content, they still wanted to listen to the results of the discussion. Each family sent one or two representatives to participate, and the rest went to the fields to harvest grain.

"I think everyone knows that our village has an important matter to discuss today, but I and several team leaders still have to talk about it." Village Chief Shi's voice was very heavy. This was not an announcement of something good, but an announcement of a major disaster! Who could be in a good mood? !

"Village Chief Shi, and the village elders, just tell us directly. We are all mentally prepared." The villagers all support the work of Village Chief Shi, and several village elders are also here. This matter must be true.

"Hey, I can understand everyone's feelings! Dalang, I got the news in the city yesterday that several villages were harmed by Da Zi. Now the food prices in the city have risen, and prices are not stable. Villagers in many villages have already begun to flee towards Kyoto. Our village knew about it late, but it was still in time, so I want to discuss with everyone. If you plan to follow us, the villagers should prepare quickly!" After the village chief Shi finished speaking, he sighed heavily again!

"Villagers of Shijia Village, we old guys have already discussed and decided that we will follow Shijia Village. We are all from the same village. Of course, there are also outsiders who are not from the same clan! But I also hope that everyone can go with the village. After all, the danger of staying in the village is still too great!" said the oldest elder in the village!

"Some of the older guys know what it means to flee from famine and disaster, but you younger men may not know. You may have to sleep in the open air and there may be bandits along the way! It will be safe if we are together, so you must go together and don't act alone! Only when there are many people together will you avoid being bullied by people from other villages or other refugees!" Another elder advised everyone, fearing that there might be villagers who were unwilling to leave.

"Everyone must listen to our advice and not stay in the village. I know no one is willing to leave their home and go out to make a living, but as long as they are alive, there is always a time to come back. If not for anything else, you have to keep your life for the sake of the children at home!" Several elders took turns advising, and the villagers must all come together!

Some villagers originally still held out a glimmer of hope, but now seeing that several elders and the village chief were urging them to follow the team, they no longer had the intention of staying.

"The main purpose of today's meeting is, first, to tell everyone this important news! Secondly, we want to remind the villagers in our village to collect food as soon as possible, and then hide the food as well as possible at home, and don't let the gangsters who come to slaughter the village find it, so that when we come back one day, we will still have food! Try to carry money with you, and bring necessary things for the road, and try to hide unnecessary things! We have discussed the route we want to take and the place we want to go. It may take more than a month to go, and it will be even farther to go to Kyoto. After discussion, we will go to Yundu City first. It is about a month away from here, so everyone should try to bring enough food!" This is the capital city suggested by Shi Dalang and Village Chief Shi.

"Village Chief Shi, why do we have to go to Yundu City?" Some villagers have heard of Yundu City, while others don't even know where it is.

"General Xiao is in Yundu City, so it's safer to be guarding there. If we go to Kyoto, there are too many old, weak, women and children with us, and we will be gone for several months. I'm afraid we can't hold on. We are going to flee, not settle down. As long as this disaster is over, we will come back." All this was arranged by Shi Dalang, and he had no doubts. Didn't Shi Dalang lose his memory? How could he know that General Xiao there would definitely accept them, the victims?

"Village Chief Shi, I heard that the Yundu City has a strong military force, and the city is also very prosperous. People live a good life too. We will definitely be able to make a living there." The young people were happy when they heard about going to Yundu City. They, the young people, had the strength to work odd jobs in the city and could support their families!

"Little Dog, is it true? Is Yundu City so good?" a young man from the same village asked hurriedly.

"I have been working in the city in the past few years. Some of the outsiders came from Yundu City. They are all very rich. I always listen to them talking about Yundu City. I heard that it is quite good there. Moreover, General Xiao there is brave and good at fighting. He has fought a war with the Regent. Will we be safe there?" They fled this time in order to survive. If there is a safe place, their lives will be guaranteed.

"Village chief, since Yundu City is so good, let's go there. Our whole family will go together anyway." There were very few women attending the meeting this time, and most of them were the ones who had the final say in their families.

So it was rare for a woman to speak up, and this woman was Aunt Guihua. Her husband went to the fields to harvest food, so she came.

"I advise everyone to go together. We have Shi Dalang in this village. He is both civil and military. With him around, we can all escape to Yundu City safely. When the situation stabilizes, we can come back together!" Shi Dalang's hunting skills are first-class, so they will definitely be safer along the way.

"Village chief, we are all willing to go with the villagers, but we are afraid that our elderly parents and grandparents will suffer a lot on the way." Some filial villagers are worried about this. They are young people, so it's easy to say, but the elderly at home, not only will they suffer on the way, but they are also a bit stubborn! If they don't want to go, they are afraid that their old bones will die outside!

“What’s there to be afraid of? Those old guys just don’t know how to look at the overall situation. If anyone in the family is unwilling to leave, just say I said that anyone who doesn’t leave will be expelled from the village! Those troublesome old guys! Even if they are not afraid of death, they have to consider the younger generation in their family!” How could the elders of the same village not understand the thoughts of those old people in the village? !

“Oh! With the word from the clan elder, I can also persuade my parents. They are very stubborn. Yesterday, my children all knelt down to their grandparents, but they just wouldn’t agree and wanted to stay in the old house!” The villagers care about their family the most. If they are expelled from the family tree, it will be a big deal. They won’t be able to be buried in the ancestral tomb after their death!

Besides, the elders’ words are still effective, so why wouldn’t the villagers dare to listen to them?

"Village chief, let's flee together. I am willing to go with you, but my family has no money or food. How can I flee with you? I will starve to death along the way!" The speaker was the lazy man in the village. Everyone called him Lazy Meat!

"You lazy bastard, you are right even though your family is poor. If you stay here, you will have a way to survive! Now all the villagers are busy collecting food at home, so you can help those who have more land at home to do some work, so that you can exchange some food for food on the road!" This lazy bastard is just lazy, and he still wants to take advantage of this opportunity. Who can take care of his food and drink for free?

"Lazy Meat, you can go to work at my house. I will give you some food every day. We are from the same village. We have to escape together this time. Otherwise, you can't enter my land no matter what!" said the villager with the most land in the village. Lazy Meat is also a poor man. His father died early, and he lived with his widowed mother.

Lan Rou is not only lazy, but also a gambler. He lost the only two acres of farmland left by his father. He usually relies on his mother's selling of food and drink, the vegetables grown at home, and Xiuhuo to make a living.
