MTL - A Lucky Wife Born Again From a Farm Family-Chapter 66 Dafeng Village

Chapter 66 Dafeng Village

The families were both surprised and worried when they heard what the government officials said.

Gu Dalin was a little impatient and asked the leading yamen officer: "Brother, is Tianfu County far away from the capital? Do you know..."

"Don't ask so many questions. You are already lucky if you can be resettled before the Chinese New Year." The leading yamen officer interrupted Gu Dalin and said in a bad tone: "Remember, don't run around and wait in the hut. If people from Tianfu County can’t find you when they come, you will be driven away if you don’t go to Naritafu County.”

 After saying this, he left with three yamen servants and rushed to the next straw shed to notify other victims.

After the yamen servants left, women from several houses gathered around and asked all kinds of questions: "Is it really going to resettle us? It's really fast. Brother Qin just came back from asking for news last night, and there will be one tonight." When the government officials came to inform us, they didn’t know if Tianfu County was good or not? Which village would we be assigned to?"

Chen is most worried: "Tianfu County is not a poor place, right? What will we do if it is too poor? Will the locals bully us? Who of the people who fled with us will be assigned to Tianfu County? No, I have to Go out and ask, see which family has been assigned to Tianfu County?"

Gu Dagui grabbed her and said, "Please calm down. The government officials and soldiers are all around. If I see you running around and catch you, I won't be able to save you."

Because the suburbs are full of disaster victims, the government is afraid of trouble, so they have implemented a curfew and sent soldiers to patrol. If they see victims running around at night, they will catch them and beat them. Many victims have been beaten in the past few days.

Qin Sanlang was not afraid of this. He was good at skills and had been trained as a scout by his family before. He had a way to avoid the patrolling soldiers. Knowing that everyone wanted to know what happened in Tianfu County, he said: "Don't worry, everyone. I will Go out and ask around." As he spoke, the man had already left the hut.

"Hey, brother Qin is still very good. Be careful and go back early." Mrs. Chen shouted behind her, eager for Qin Sanlang to go out and inquire about the situation.

The family is used to Qin Sanlang going out to inquire about news at night, so they don't worry too much.

Qin Erlang hated Qin Sanlang for being so helpful to outsiders. Hearing his words, he snorted coldly and left the hut to rest in the hut where his grandparents and grandson lived.

Qin Gu Luotian's family has a large family, and it is not good for men and women to live together. In the past few days, each family has built a small thatched shed to rest, but they will come to this largest thatched shed when eating.

Qin Sanlang came back less than an hour after leaving, his worn cotton clothes carrying the chill of white frost. He stood in front of the hay shed, patted the hoarfrost on his body, and said to the anxiously waiting family: "I heard about it, Tianfu County is not bad."

When the family heard this, they were very happy and hurriedly welcomed Qin Sanlang in and asked him to sit on the fire to warm himself.

Gu Jinli poured a bowl of hot water into a wooden bowl and handed it to Qin Sanlang: "Here."

Qin Sanlang took it with a smile, drank a few sips of hot water to warm his body, and continued: "Tianfu County is a large county under the jurisdiction of He'an Prefecture. It is about five days' walk from He'an Prefecture. It is considered a close distance. One of the three counties relatively close to the capital."

“Then which village or town will we be assigned to?” Mrs. Chen was most anxious and asked before Qin Sanlang finished speaking.

Qin Sanlang said: "I haven't found any specific village names, but the west of Tianfu County has many mountains and less people. It is very likely that we will be assigned to a village in the west of Tianfu County."

Tianfu County has been established for a long time, and there are people living in good places. More than 90% of them, foreign victims of the disaster, will be assigned to remote villages.

"Mom, aren't we going to be assigned to a ravine?" Mrs. Chen was very dissatisfied with the place we might be assigned to: "Although we were in the northwest before, Gujia Village is very close to the county seat and can be reached in half an hour's walk. . If we enter the ravines of Tianfu County, we will have to walk for a long time just to get out of the mountains, not to mention the county seat!"

There is a relative in the Chen family who lives in the mountains. If that relative wants to go to the market, he has to travel a day in advance and walk all day and night in the mountains before arriving at the county market at dawn the next day.

 Ms. Chen is going crazy. She doesn’t want to go to Shangougou.

The third grandma said: "There is nothing we can do about it. The government has allocated a place for us. If we don't go, we will be kicked out. We can't bear the trouble." They came from Gujia Village, Gaoshui County, Long'an Prefecture, northwest They had been on the road for more than half a year after escaping from the famine all the way. They were already exhausted. If they didn't settle down, their bodies would be exhausted.

Qin Sanlang saw that everyone had a sad face after hearing about the situation in Tianfu County, and said: "Not necessarily. One of the police officers said that we are the first group to go, and there is a high chance that we can be assigned to a good place. Those who go later will be stuffed into the mountains."

　　After hearing this, several families breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen simply wanted to kill a pig to reward the gods: "God bless us, we must be assigned a good place and we cannot go to the ravine."

After Qin Sanlang finished explaining the matter, the families dispersed.

For the next time, several families were waiting in the thatched hut. Even if they had to go out to fetch water, they would go back quickly, not daring to delay for fear of missing the people who came to see them from Tianfu County.

During this period, Zhou Laolin came to their hut and asked where they were assigned.

 After hearing that they were assigned to Tianfu County, Zhou Lao and Lin were very happy, and they were also assigned to Tianfu County.

 It's just that the numbers on their bamboo plaques are 612 and 615, which are very different from those of other families. Mr. Qin said that the two parties may be divided into villages and towns that are some distance apart.

The Zhou and Lin families followed the Qin Gu Luotian family for nearly two months and were very dependent on them. Knowing that they might not be in the same villages and towns, Zhou Lao and Lin were a little panicked, but there was nothing they could do about it. Son.

 Zhou Laolin could only leave in frustration.

In the afternoon of the next day, a government official from Tianfu County came to the thatched shed and informed them to gather on the ground outside the city gate at 10:00 the next day and set off for Tianfu County. Those who failed to meet the deadline would be expelled.

 The victims who were assigned to Tianfu County packed their things and made preparations.

Before dawn the next day, many victims set out for the city gate.

There was a huge crowd outside the city gate filled with disaster victims. Government officials from eight counties beat gongs and shouted the names of their respective counties, asking the victims to gather where they were.

"People from Tianfu County, people from Tianfu County, come here, move faster, don't waste your time!" The head of the yamen team yelled until his voice became hoarse. He cursed countless times and was confused for half an hour. Finally, he finally After gathering the victims, they began to count the numbers on the bamboo signs. After they were done, the head of the government office began to lecture them.

"Our Tianfu County is very good. You should cherish the blessing of being assigned to Tianfu County. After arriving in Tianfu County, you must be honest and don't make trouble. Anyone who dares to make trouble will be dragged to the Yamen and beheaded!" said the head of the yamen class! He glanced at the more than a thousand victims with cold eyes, warning them, and did not look away until the victims trembled in response.

 A quarter of an hour later, the victims were escorted by a group of government officials and a group of soldiers and rushed to Tianfu County.

The government officials rushed back to celebrate the New Year, almost chasing the victims along the way, and finally brought them to the Tianfu County government office on the morning of the fourth day.

In the courtyard of the county government, the heads of various villages and towns are already waiting. As soon as the victims arrive, they will receive them according to the numbers on the bamboo signs.

The Gu Jinli family was assigned to Dafeng Village in Qingfu Town.
