Chapter 70: Migration
The world in Xiaobei Village began to become more and more difficult. Every day, there were almost a bunch of people waiting for work at the entrance of the village. The tea-picking team was almost disbanded, leaving only scattered workers to pick up the remaining work.
Aunt Liu's suicide cast a dark undertone on the people in the village.
The arrival of Luo Changping and others made Zhang Wu's heart always hang in the air. Jiang Hao was a kind and kind man, but he didn't know how to protect himself. This disaster completely destroyed everyone's way out, and it was unnecessary
Some debts made Jiang Hao's life even worse.
Watching Jiang Hao walking through the mountains and forests every day, and sometimes staying in the tea house in a daze, no one knew what his plans were. After the cargo owners made a fuss, their income was completely cut off, and the days became like a day without a meal.
became normal.
Jiang Hao pulled a few pieces of dog tail grass and held it in his mouth. He recalled the bustling scene on Chajiao Street and the vigorous port transactions of the Thirteen Lines. The words of the storyteller in the provincial capital echoed in his mind again.
Looking at those people standing at the entrance of the village sighing and worrying about making a living, I feel very uncomfortable.
After thinking about it carefully, a thought suddenly flashed through his eyes. Jiang Hao's eyes exuded a glimmer of hope. After thinking deeply, he immediately called Chui Shuihui, Sweet Potato Chang, and Niu Jingqiang over.
At night, the teahouse became unusually lively, unlike the silence it had been the past few nights.
Aunt Su looked at Fanshu Chang and Chui Shuihui, Niu Jingqiang, She Zaiming and Xiao Li all gathered around the table. Jiang Hao turned his back and seemed to be thinking about something.
Since returning from Cha Kiao Street last time, this is the first time for them to sit here completely.
When Jiang Hao saw that everyone was gathered, he took out some pieces of paper he had drawn and gave them to some of them.
"What does this mean?"
Fuki Shuihui squinted his eyes and looked at it for a few times, but he didn't understand.
Jiang Hao put his hands on the edge of the table, glanced at them and said, "We can't sit still and wait for death. Let's move to Chajiao together."
Several people looked at Jiang Hao in disbelief. The last time they went to Chajiao was because they were looking for Xiao Yao, but now they wanted to leave their hometown to make a living.
"You mean, collective relocation?"
She Zaiming held the map, looked at the drawn passage, and looked at Jiang Hao's confident look, and finally understood something.
Several people were somewhat embarrassed, and leaving their hometowns was a very difficult choice for them who had lived in Xiaobei Village for decades.
Jiang Hao didn't say anything, he just waved to them to go out and take a look.
Several people walked to the door one after another, and saw that in the past, the tea picking team and the people in the village were gathered at the entrance of the village, with sallow faces and thin muscles.
"As you have seen, it has been almost a month. If this continues, everyone will starve to death."
After Jiang Hao finished speaking, he glanced at the sky in despair. It was extremely dark, just like the future of Xiaobei Village now.
Fuki Shuihui and the others seemed to have a wall in their hearts, so they could only lower their heads and enter the house.
"What kind of work can we do when we go to Cha Kau?"
Fanshu Chang was a little scared. What skills would they have to survive after leaving Xiaobei Village?
Jiang Hao didn't say anything, he just picked up a bunch of camellia leaves from the corner and put them on the table.
The lifeblood of Xiaobei Village is to rely on the mountains and eat from the mountains. This tea is their hope for survival.
For mountain tea, if we plant the only remaining tea leaves in Xiaobei Village that were not affected by the disaster and bring them to Chajiao Village for sale, we can at least have a way out.
