Chapter 272 Changes in the Town
A hurried male voice came over, and upon careful listening it seemed to be Yu Qinghai's voice.
After a while, Yu Qinghai came out from the corner and was finally seen by Yu Qingqing and others.
Yu Qingqing was also very surprised to see Yu Qinghai, after all, he came back early today.
After Yu Qinghai came to Yu Qingqing and the others, he panted and said, "Qing'er, I heard from mother that you were weeding there. I encountered something in the town, you should go home first, I will talk to you when everyone is here. The things I sold out quickly in the town today, so I came back directly without delay."
Yu Qinghai planned to tell his family about the soldiers he encountered in the town and the possibility of a war.
After hearing this, Yu Qingqing felt that there was something else her brother said, but she didn't ask him in a hurry. She picked up the things and walked home.
The atmosphere along the way seemed a little surprised and no one spoke.
When Yu Qingqing arrived home, she had already seen her father and Village Chief He Qiang. The others were probably still busy working in the fields and had not returned yet.
The lunch for everyone is almost ready, and I guess everyone will be coming home one after another in a while.
Seeing his father and Village Chief He Qiang in the yard, Yu Qingqing was even more surprised. What had happened that called them back?
After seeing that everyone was there, Yu Qinghai called the whole family into the house.
Everyone was curious about why Yu Qinghai was so serious, so Yu Qinghai said solemnly: "I went to the town and found a lot more soldiers at the gate. After asking, I learned that His Royal Highness Prince Chen had led his troops to the battle early in the morning. I don't know the details, but the people in the town looked a little strange. It may be my guess, but I think we should still be cautious. We should prepare for the worst."
As soon as Yu Qinghai finished speaking, everyone's faces changed. He was almost saying that he wanted to go to war.
Seeing that his son did not look fake, Yu Qingshu believed it to about 70%.
When Village Chief He Qiang heard this, his face was filled with even more frustration. They had finally found a place to stay, and everyone finally saw hope.
Yu Qingshu saw that the expression of the village chief He Qiang was not right, so he said calmly: "Brother He, don't worry! Even if something really happens, we will continue to open up the wasteland. We originally planned to grow more food, and it is even more necessary at this time. You can rest assured to open up the wasteland, and I will let you know about other things. Of course, if you have your own plans, we will also respect them."
Yu Qingshu was also worried that He Qiang was concerned about the land reclamation, so he just made the final decision and said it all at once.
Sure enough, He Qiang's expression eased a lot after hearing this.
But he did start to think about what would happen next in his heart. After all, if there really was a war, it would be the common people who would suffer.
Yu Qinghai's words also made everyone fall into deep thought. After all, this news was most likely true and could not be false.
But they don’t know what to do if the war really breaks out.
When Yu Qingqing heard that there was going to be a war, she did not show any panic, but instead became a little calmer.
Since the facts cannot be changed, the most important thing is to try your best to protect your own safety.
Yu Qingqing looked at Yu Qingshu's sad face, and she felt uncomfortable. She stepped forward and held Yu Qingshu's rough hands, and then said calmly: "Dad, Mom, don't be afraid. Even if there is a war, we can't retreat. We have finally had a stable life and can't be defeated easily.
My daughter has an idea, I don't know if it's feasible, but I still want to share it with everyone for advice. I have observed the situation here before. We are surrounded by mountains. If there is a real war, everyone will choose to hide in the mountains, which is not a small risk.
I think the soil here is pretty good. From now on, each family can dig some space under their house to store food and hide people."
Yu Qingqing's words surprised everyone present.
Everyone looked at Yu Qingqing, thinking about what she had just said, and a hint of joy appeared on their faces.
If this is really possible, there is no need to worry about someone entering the village. At least a lot of risks can be reduced.
Everyone was silent at this moment, wondering whether what Yu Qingqing said was feasible.
Yu Qingshu was the first to applaud and make the decision. He naturally supported his daughter and believed in her 100% unconditionally.
Then the others nodded in agreement, thinking that this was feasible and at least worth a try.
Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement, Yu Qingshu said happily: "I also think what Qing'er said makes sense. We are surrounded by mountains. If we go to the mountains, we will probably just feed the wolves and tigers. It is better to find other ways to survive. Let's do this. I will go and discuss this with Village Chief Liu in person."
He Qiang said that there was no problem and he now trusts his family very much.
Yu Qingqing emphasized: "Dad, don't worry. We must tell the village chief Liu about this matter. But we need to tell him quietly and not publicly. When you go to talk to the village chief, ask each family to choose a representative.
And those people must ensure that the news is not leaked, otherwise we will be at great risk. And the place should be relatively secretive to ensure safety. There are many rivers here, so we must first choose a dry place to avoid digging into the river later. "
Yu Qingqing simply repeated some of the details to Yu Qingshu.
Yu Qingshu immediately understood and said he understood.
Then the group dispersed and went about their own business.
Lunch was ready at this time, and He Qiang went over there to call people back to eat.
The whole courtyard was filled with the aroma of food, which made people feel hungry just by smelling it.
Yu Qingqing and her family naturally ate along as well, after all, the food was not bad either.
Yu Qingshu brought all the food for the family into the house.
Since there were no extra tables, I could only let my mother-in-law and father-in-law eat first, and then they would take turns.
It’s just that Hua Manhong felt embarrassed to eat first, so he and Yu Qingshu kept refusing each other.
Yu Qingqing couldn't stand it anymore and if she continued to be polite, the food would get cold.
She took a bowl and filled it with porridge, stuffed it directly into Hua Qinglu's mouth and said, "Mom, let's just stand and eat. You can sit down with grandpa and grandma. Don't keep making excuses. It will be bad if the food gets cold later."
After Yu Qingqing finished speaking, the two people who had just refused stopped.
Yu Qingshu looked at his daughter with approval and felt that his daughter was getting smarter and smarter.
