When Lu Ziwan and the others arrived, all the refugees here had also left. After listening to Lu Ziwan's words, Mrs. Lin's mother hesitated for a moment at the thought of traveling twenty days to a place she was unfamiliar with.

, who have grown up here since childhood, it is difficult for them to decide to stay away from their hometown for a while.

"Mom, we don't know when it will rain here. If it doesn't rain for several months, and we don't leave, we will become the poor refugees we were just now. Rather than doing this, it's better to leave. It doesn't mean we will never come back.

Our home is here, and we can come back when the drought is over." Lin Yuan persuaded.

"Yes, just think of it as a way to go out for a walk and gain knowledge. Fencheng is a very lively place. There are many businessmen gathered there. The food and entertainment are all different from what we have here." Lian Guanlang added, "I heard

People say that many foreign businessmen have come to Fencheng in recent years. I have never seen those white-skinned and blond-haired ones in Fencheng two or three times before. Maybe I can see them again this time!"

"Brother-in-law, have you been to Fencheng?" Sister Lan was surprised.

"Is Fencheng really fun?" Sister He asked curiously.

"Of course. If you don't believe it, you'll find out when you go there." Lian Guanlang replied, patting Sister He's head.

Seeing that everyone agreed to go, Mrs. Lin's mother was silent for a moment and then nodded.

"Daughter-in-law, I'm going to go to Bai's house with Da Zhuang. You can discuss it with mother and see if the clothes you want to take away have been sorted out." Lian Guanlang was happy and everyone agreed.

"Be careful on the road." Lu Ziyuan nodded, and then everyone gathered around to discuss what to bring.

Clothes are indispensable, water is also necessary, and food is even more indispensable. In case you have to spend the night in the carriage, bedding and other things are prepared. Lu Ziwan has seen the Bai family's carriage. It is very big.

There are enough cars, one for the second uncle and Mrs. Lin's family, one for her family, and the remaining one contains luggage and other things. But there are so many people that it is impossible to lie down.

After Lian Guan Lang came back, he agreed that the Bai family's carriage would arrive at Hexi Village in three days, and everyone set off immediately.

There was a lot of commotion in the Lu family organizing their things. People in Hexi Village immediately knew that the Lu family and the Lian family were leaving Hexi Village to seek refuge. The factory also stopped working. The Bai family also sent people to transport all the goods from the factory.

Let's go, the two families have settled the last sum of money.

Because the well was in the yard, the three families did not lock the yard door when they left. They just asked the villagers to help look after the house and not let anyone take the opportunity to go into the house. Even if they left, they would still come back.

The door to the courtyard must be left open, and all other rooms must be locked after Lu Ziwan and the others leave. The night before she was about to leave, Lu Ziwan took the key to the village chief's house.

"Sister Wan is here, come in and sit down." The old village chief touched his goatee and invited Lu Ziwan in. He also guessed that Lu Ziwan was here to say goodbye.

"Village Chief, we are leaving tomorrow morning. The three keys here are the keys to my house, my parents' house, and the yard of my second uncle's house. They will be given to you for safekeeping before we come back. During the day, when the villagers want to get water, you can open it.

Wait until night, please help us close it. We still have a lot of things in our house, and we need the village chief to ask everyone to help us take care of it and don't let anyone run in."

The three keys were placed side by side in front of the old village chief, and then he put the last key aside from his palm and said softly, "Village Chief, this key is the key to my mother's cellar.

All the farmers in the town are dead, the rice shops in the town are closed, and the rice sold by the remaining rice shop is more expensive than gold. After a year of hard work, everyone can't afford to buy a pound."

Hearing what Lu Ziyuan said, the old village chief sighed heavily. Now everyone is eating last year's food. After August, no one will be able to get food from their homes.

Even if it rains, everyone has no rice to eat. The drought has passed, but there is still a long period of hunger waiting for them. Now, every household in the village basically eats one meal a day, because there is no work in the fields. Even if they are hungry, they can’t endure it.
