Aunt Santun hurriedly entered the yard, pulled people into the house, and then said cautiously: "Oh no, two families living near the village have been robbed by refugees. You must be careful and don't let the people in the village get away from home."

I know you have food."

"It's so fast. If Erhu's family lives at the entrance of the village, won't it be unsafe? And you, you two are the only ones at home, so this won't work." Wang Xiaoxia was worried that Aunt Santun and the two old ladies wouldn't be safe in case anything happened.

There was no chance to remedy the situation.

She thought about it carefully and suddenly thought of an idea: "Do you think it's okay to let Erhu's family move to your house?"

Aunt Santun also discussed this matter with the old man when she came out. The old man thought it was feasible, but she didn't know if he would be willing to do it.

"Of course we, the old couple, have no objection, but we just don't know what the Erhu family thinks?" She frowned in embarrassment. If her son hadn't been away, the old couple wouldn't have come up with such a method.

Wang Xiaoxia patted Aunt Santun's hand to reassure her, and then asked her second son to go to Erhu's house with her.

At this time, we can only hug together to keep warm. If our yard is not big enough, let them all move in at home, and everyone will be taken care of.

At this time, Erhu and his family were all sitting in the main room with a gloomy look on their faces. The two families that had been robbed were near them. If they had not come back earlier, their family would also have suffered.

"This place seems uninhabitable. What if they come in the middle of the night? Your eldest brother can't come back for the time being. Hey... what is this?" Mrs. Fang felt trembling all over when she thought of those refugees, and she didn't know what was going on.

How long will the war last?

"Where else can I live if I can't live here? Is it possible to live in an ancestral hall?" Sun Qingjiang was also helpless. He chose to build a house here just to get out of the village easily, but now it has become the most dangerous place.

Just when the family felt they had nowhere to move, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Second Grandpa, Second Grandma, are you at home?" The second child knocked on the courtyard door.

Hearing the voice of Jiuzhou Erwa, Erhu's eyes lit up and he got up and opened the courtyard door. Seeing that it was Jiuzhou's sister-in-law, he hurriedly welcomed the person in.

When Wang Xiaoxia came in, she explained her intention. After hearing this, the Erhu family was so happy that they hurriedly started packing their things.

Looking at them, she was probably frightened. After saying that, she went back to find Uncle Santun and asked him to drive the ox cart over. The sooner they moved away from here, the better. She made it clear to Uncle Santun before leaving.

My son wants to build two more mud houses.

After hearing this, Uncle Santun and his wife drove a bullock cart over to help move things. Not long after it got dark, Erhu and his family moved over.

Erhu and Uncle Santun's family knew that the Jiuzhou family was going to build a mud house tomorrow, so after packing it up, everyone went to bed early.

The night was uneventful, and early the next morning, Sun Qingmao and his family came to Jiuzhou's home.

Knowing that she had to do something today, Wang Xiaoxia got up early in the morning. After making breakfast and letting everyone eat, she went to see Sister Zhang again. Seeing that Sister Zhang was much better than yesterday, she asked her brother-in-law to feed her some gruel for the time being.

.

Just after breakfast, her father-in-law and mother-in-law came, and she took several children to the back yard to help.

When Butcher Liu saw that they were all working, he asked the third child, who was watching here, to go in occasionally to see if his wife wanted to drink water, and then he also joined the team building the house.

Now that there are so many people building houses, there is no need to go to the village to find people. There are ready-made houses near Niba. All you need to do is cut down some trees and make the beams, and build two beds.

Leave the task of cutting down the trees to a few young men, and leave other tasks to the remaining people. God is kind enough not to rain. As long as it doesn't rain for a few days, the house can be built quickly.

In the afternoon, because of the incident of villagers being robbed, Sun Lizheng called every household to the ancestral hall for a meeting, and several old ladies put down their work.

When they came back, it was almost dark, and several families were sitting in the house having dinner together. Mrs. Wang told everyone the contents of the meeting.

He also encouraged everyone to stay together to stay warm and to avoid going out as much as possible. After hearing this, Wang Xiaoxia felt that Uncle Zheng here was quite sensible.

After Wang finished speaking, she let out a long sigh: "Brother Li Zheng said that the residents in this village are too scattered. If there is an emergency, everyone can hide in the ancestral hall."

The ancestral hall is on the top of the hillside, not far from where Wang Xiaoxia lives. However, if it gets to that point, even hiding in the ancestral hall may not help. There are many entrances to the village, so there is no safety at all.

It would be better if the village was built at the foot of Dasun Mountain. If there is danger, you can run into the mountains. Most of the villagers live at the bottom of the hillside with their backs to Dasun Mountain. It is still a long way to run to the mountains. If they encounter danger, the elderly and children will not be able to escape.

Can't hide.

"Jiuzhou daughter-in-law, what do you think?" Sun Qingmao felt that the most thoughtful person in the family now was Jiuzhou daughter-in-law, so she clicked the dry cigarette pole and asked.

Wang Xiaoxia thought calmly and said: "Father, mother, if you really encounter refugees entering the village, it would be okay to hide in the ancestral hall, but if you are afraid of encountering bandits coming down the mountain to rob them, it will be useless."

"Bandits!" Qizhou said and stood up excitedly.

"Yes, the war is chaotic, and the mountains are blocked by heavy snow. The bandits on the mountains have no food. There are government officials in the city guarding the city gate. Once the city gate is closed, it is difficult for them to enter. They will inevitably think of various villages to rob." Wang Xiaoxia analyzed it for everyone.

Now, this situation is likely to happen, and it will happen soon.

After hearing this, several old people looked unhappy. Sun Qingjiang sighed and said: "This situation happened more than ten years ago. There was chaos on the border, heavy snow closed the mountains, and bandits burned, killed and looted villages one by one. At that time, Brother Li Zheng led

We hid in Xiaosun Mountain and escaped."

"If this is the case, Uncle Li Zheng should be aware of it, and we must make preparations in advance. Tomorrow morning, Erhu, Qizhou, and brother-in-law, you will carry rice on your back and follow me into the mountain. We must make preparations first.

In case there is no way out." Wang Xiaoxia thought for a while and decided to move a little rice to the mountains. As for the bedding, she can just take it with her when she runs.

"Okay, let's come over early tomorrow morning and chop down the wood by the way." Erhu agreed immediately.

After everyone settled the matter, everyone else went home.

Butcher Liu hesitated and looked at Wang Xiaoxia. He swallowed his words and turned to walk back to the house, but she called him back.
