The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

When the fleeing team reached the town, they saw that all the shops in the town were closed. Along the way, they met several groups of people fleeing the famine with their families. Everyone walked forward solemnly, minding their own business.

Li Yu sat next to Zhou Jia and looked at the rice fields along the road that had become bare. The bare branches and trunks on the roadside were also covered with locusts eating the bark.

Li Yu thought that now was the time of drought. Seeing that the harvest of the whole season was in vain, and the victims had no food, he wondered if the court would provide disaster relief?

"Zhou Jia, at this time of year, there is no harvest, and everyone's food has been eaten by locusts. Will the imperial court distribute relief food?"

"It's difficult. The current imperial court may not have any money for disaster relief," Zhou Jia lowered his voice. "The imperial court has carried out large-scale construction and construction of palaces in the past few years. I'm afraid the Ministry of Revenue may not have any money for disaster relief."

"Then what will these victims eat if they have no food?" Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia and asked.

"Will they care about this? They just need to keep the black gauze hats on their heads. You will know when we get to Qingshan City later. If I am not wrong, I am afraid that the city gate is already closed."

At this time, the village chief shouted from behind, "Mr. Zhou, stop for a while, the people walking behind can't catch up."

"Huh...," Zhou Jia stopped the mule cart, jumped out of the cart, and shouted to Jixiang in front of him: "Jixiang, stop for a while."

The mule cart slowly stopped on the roadside, and the people behind it also followed. Liu Changyun's daughter-in-law, Ye Shi, poked Liu Changyun and glanced at Liu Changmin's cart. Liu Changyun understood.

Liu Changyun walked to Mrs. Liu who was sitting on the roadside, pointed at the two children and looked at Mrs. Liu, "Mom, go and talk to my eldest brother, take the precious gold and precious silver to the car and sit and rest for a while."

Liu Baojin and Liu Baoyin also ran up, took Mrs. Liu's hand and complained, "Grandma, go to my uncle's house and tell him that he can let me sit in the bullock cart!"

Mrs. Liu looked at her two grandsons sweating profusely and felt heartbroken, "My dear grandsons have suffered so much! I'll go talk to your uncle right now."

Li Mei watched coldly as Madam Liu walked towards Liu Changmin, warning Liu Changmin, "Your mother is here. If you promise her anything, just do it yourself. Don't think about humiliating us mother and daughter."

Liu Changmin looked at Li Mei, mother and daughter, and said firmly: "Don't worry, Mei, I won't be confused."

Mrs. Liu walked to the bullock cart and scolded Zhao Di and Laidi with a cold face: "What are you two doing sitting in the cart? Why don't you wink? Come down quickly and let Bao Jin and Bao Yin sit."

Laidi looked at Mrs. Liu and said, "Why do you want us to let them sit? This is my cousin's bullock cart."

"You have to pay back, you dare to talk back." Mrs. Liu raised her palm and hit Laidi.

Liu Changmin grabbed Mrs. Liu's hand and looked at her coldly, his eyes losing the usual respect, "Mom, I can discipline my daughter myself. Besides, this car originally belonged to Xiaoyu's family. Jinbao and the others had to take the car to return the car." Only if Xiaoyu agrees."

Liu Changyun came over and smiled hypocritically at Liu Changmin, "Brother, how can you talk to mother like this?"

Li Mei looked at Liu's mother and son coldly, and Liu Changmin looked at Liu Changyun, "I am a rebellious and unfilial son. As long as you are filial to my mother, that's enough."

Zhao Di and Li Yu came over with sesame seed cakes and water bags. As soon as Mrs. Liu saw Li Yu coming, she pulled Liu Changyun and her grandson and turned around and ran away.

Li Yu gave the water bag to Zhaodi, walked to the village chief and his car, and said to the village chief: "Village Chief Grandpa, we have to go a little faster. At this speed, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach Qingshan City by noon."

Chen Yaohui looked at the sun in the sky and wiped his sweat, "Yes! If we are delayed for two more days on the road, we will have more food and drink. Let's hurry up."

Li looked worried at Chuanzhou and Chuan, "The children can't walk fast because their soles hurt."

Li Yu looked at the flushed faces of the two brothers and thought for a moment, "Aunt Li, take them to meet the train at Ruyi's in front, and let's go alternately."

Mrs. Li happily patted the two children and said, "Why don't you hurry up and thank you, Sister Xiaoyu."

After the two children thanked Li Yu, they followed Li to Ruyi's house. Just as Chen Baozhen was about to speak, she turned around and saw the village chief looking at her with a dark face, and hurriedly shut her mouth and did not dare to say anything.

The village chief shouted loudly again, and the crowd began to move again.

After walking for another hour, we were almost at Qingshan City. We didn't see any green plants along the way. There were locusts flying everywhere. The more we walked, the more desperate we became. We felt that the world had become a world of locusts.

After hurrying and hurrying for a while, the fleeing team finally arrived at Qingshan City before noon.

Zhou Jia's guess was indeed correct. The gate of Qingshan City was closed tightly, and the gate was full of people who wanted to enter the city.

Li Yu looked at the closed city gate and remembered those costume dramas on TV in his previous life, in which corrupt officials were played. Once a natural or man-made disaster occurred, the city gate would be closed tightly, regardless of the life and death of the people. Unexpectedly, she would actually be in trouble. arrive.

Zhou Jia pointed to the official road to the south and said loudly to Ruyi: "There is no need to go into the city. Let's take a detour and take the official road from the south, and go to Qixian first."

After Ruyi responded loudly, he drove the mule cart towards the official road to the south.

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu and pointed to the road ahead, "There is a forest in the past of Qingshan City. Let's rest there for a while. We have to get to Chongyun Town today and set off early tomorrow morning to cross Yunjian Peak."

When Li Yu heard Zhou Jia talking about Yunjian Peak, his tone was particularly strong and he looked at him puzzled, "Zhou Jia, is there anything wrong with Yunjian Peak?"

"The mountain road has a cliff to the left and a deep gorge to the right. The road is very narrow. Once it gets dark, the mountain road will be filled with clouds and fog, making it difficult to see the road ahead. If you don't go there as soon as possible, you will lose sight of the road. I’m afraid someone will fall down the mountain stream.”

"Oh! I see, the road is so narrow, if there is a convoy coming from the opposite side, can you get out of the way?"

"You don't have to worry about that. That road is for single-day and even-day traffic. Our road is for single-day traffic. If we can get to Chongyun Town tonight, we will be able to go up the mountain tomorrow."

"Then I'll go talk to the village chief and let everyone hurry up, otherwise we will be delayed for a day."

Li Yu handed the reins to Zhou Jia, jumped out of the car, walked to the village chief's bullock cart and told the village chief about the road conditions. After hearing this, the village chief nodded repeatedly, "We have to rush. If you delay for one day, you will spend more money." .”

"Grandpa, the village chief, tell everyone clearly that I'm going back to catch the car."

The village chief spoke at the top of his voice to the people rushing behind him about the road conditions behind him, and shouted to everyone: "Everyone, hurry up and take a rest after crossing the mountain tomorrow."

All the villagers were sweating profusely as they walked, especially the children who were following behind their parents. The older ones held the hands of the younger ones, with tears in their eyes. The ones who were stumbling did not dare to move even half a step back.

Li Yu returned to the car, accelerated the speed, and arrived at the woods that Zhou Jia was talking about half an hour later.

I saw that the woods had become a bare patch, with not even a blade of grass left on the ground.
