We left our village in a hurry, we did not have time to grab our valuables, we hid in the forest and arrived at Thingsai village on Sep. 13.If we don't harvest our rice, we have nothing for the future. We will have to look for wild vegetables or beg elsewhere.Before my husband left, he told me that he would collect the rice and hide it in makeshift warehouses in the forest since there is no one in our village to stand guard. If you store our grains in our house, the army could come back. They will burn them or destroy them.
