Chapter 276 The vicious female partner escapes to farm (26) (Third update, please vote for me!)
Xu Yin raised her forehead.
She knows why the bricks are red.
After the kiln was fired, Shi Fengnian couldn't wait to open the kiln door to check. As a result, air got in, and the bricks that had just turned off the fire turned red when they encountered oxygen.
But everyone thinks red bricks are more beautiful than blue bricks.
Only Chen Mancang hesitated to speak.
Xu Yin asked him: "Uncle Mancang, if you have anything to say, it's okay for you to just say it."
“We’re afraid we won’t be able to use the red bricks.”
"how do I say this?"
Chen Mancang talked about a rumor he once heard: "I heard from a storyteller in Fucheng that there was a rich man in the north who built a red-walled wedding house for his son when he got married, but he was beheaded. However, That's just a wall painted red, not red bricks, so I'm not sure..."
When Xu Yinjing said this, he also remembered what he had read in history books—red walls and yellow tiles were a symbol of imperial power.
Without hesitation, these bricks were smashed into pieces and burned again.
This time, she kept an eye on the time and didn't let everyone rush to open the kiln.
After turning off the fire, water was poured on the top of the kiln, and then the kiln was turned on after it cooled down completely. What came out was the familiar blue brick.
“It’s done!”
Everyone is very excited.
“It will be like this from now on, remember?”
Don’t make any mistakes again! Otherwise, your life will be in jeopardy!
“Remember, remember! Don’t worry, brother hero!”
Everyone looked serious when it came to important matters involving their heads.
The attentive people also picked up the red brick fragments that had been scattered outside bit by bit and put them back into the kiln to make sure that no fragments fell outside.
After finishing all this, Erlang and a group of children hurried over to report the news:
“Brother is not good! There are many people coming down below!”
“Dad, there are so many people coming, all victims of the disaster!”
Everyone looked at each other: Here we come!
Even though they were well prepared, they were still shocked when they saw the victims brought by the government officials after coming down the mountain.
These people are even more embarrassed and miserable than they were before.
Everyone is in ragged clothes, unkempt, and has a sallow complexion.
The yamen servant was an old acquaintance. When he saw Xu Yin, he said loudly: "Little brother, we meet again!"
Xu Yin arched her hands towards him: "Are these people also going to come here to open up wasteland?"
“Exactly!”
The yamen servant walked up to Xu Yin and whispered a few words: "My lord asked me to tell you that there may be some rioters and thieves among these people. Only brother, you can subdue them, so..."
Xu Yin was speechless and choked: She deliberately exposed her magical power to avoid trouble, so why is she trapped now?
However, it is not her job to resettle the victims. It is up to the county magistrate to arrange it.
Under the command of the government officials, the victims walked slowly towards the uncultivated wasteland in the distance.
“Brother Hero!”
A man suddenly jumped out of the marching team.
Xu Yin took a closer look: "Little tiger?"
"It's me! It's me! Brother Hero..."
Wang Xiaohu rushed over, as if he wanted to hug Xu Yin and express his grievances, but Xu Yin raised her hand to stop him.
Erlang pulled him away forcefully: "Brother Xiaohu, why are you here too? Didn't you say you want to go back to your hometown?"
Xu Yin raised her eyes and saw Wang Daniu, his wife, and his eldest son walking in the queue with heavy steps. When he saw her, he smiled bitterly.
I just didn’t see Father Wang.
Xu Yin turned to Wang Xiaohu and asked: "Your grandfather..."
“Grandpa, he’s gone…wuwuwu…”
When Wang Xiaohu cried, many people in the group of victims began to sob.
In this disaster, Wang Daniu’s family was not the only one who lost relatives.
Xu Yin's mood became increasingly heavy.
Afterwards, I heard what Wang Xiaohu said and found out: They couldn’t find part-time work in Dongxuan Prefecture. Thinking that it had rained so heavily in Dongxuan Prefecture the night before, it might have rained in Tongxing Prefecture as well, so they decided to return home.
However, the closer we got to home, the drier it became, and it seemed like we were back to the time when we first fled.
No! It’s even drier than the days when I first fled the famine!
Wang Daniu immediately decided to return to Dongxuan Mansion, but unfortunately he encountered a refugee uprising, lack of water and food, and the chaos of the war. Wang Daniu, who was already weak, left in less than two days.
Xu Yin patted him on the shoulder, silently comforting him.
Then he asked him to put his luggage and go to burn the kiln together.
Wang Xiaohu scratched his head and asked in confusion: "What kind of kiln?"
“You’ll know when you go there!” Not long after the two arrived at the back mountain—
“Brother! Brother! It’s not good, brother!”
Erlang ran to the back mountain angrily and complained:
“The new group of people stole our drinking water and even caught all the fish we kept in the pond!”
When Xu Yin heard this, she quickly asked: "Is there anything wrong?"
"Uncle Feng and Uncle Mancang started fighting with them. There were so many of them..."
“Where is your third sister? Are you still at Lihua’s house?”
"right!"
"Okay, I understand." Xu Yin handed Erlang to Wang Xiaohu and said a few words, "You stay here and don't go down the mountain for the time being."
She grabbed the self-defense tools in the system warehouse and ran along the mountainside toward home.
When he arrived, Shi Feng was fighting with five or six other people.
Chen Mancang held his arm as if he was injured.
On our side, most of the labor force is burning kilns in the back mountain, and a small part is working in the fields. Shi Feng and Chen Mancang happened to be carrying firewood down the mountain. They heard a few children crying, saying that the fish had been robbed, so they came over.
“When we arrived, these beasts wanted to break into the door and steal something!” Chen Mancang wiped the bloodshot corners of his mouth with a look of hatred on his face.
The home they managed to support was almost destroyed by these people.
Xu Yin was furious when she heard this.
Picked up the pole on the ground, his eyes were cold: "Brother Feng, get out of the way!"
"okay!"
Shi Feng was already determined when he heard Xu Yin's voice.
Immediately and obediently stepped aside.
Xu Yin waved her pole, like in the game of whack-a-mole, and knocked at the opponent:
“Steal? Rob? You are really good at it!”
“You are young and have sound limbs, but you just want to get something for nothing!”
“Since you think you have extra hands and feet, my aunt will pick them up for you today!”
Huh?
Shi Feng was enjoying watching Xu Yin beat someone up, when he suddenly heard the word "aunt" and thought to himself, why do the hero brothers call themselves aunt? Or do you think you heard it wrong?
He picked his ears and found out a piece of cerumen: "..."
"Snapped!"
On the other side, Xu Yin’s carrying pole was broken.
She breathed heavily and stared at the six people wailing on the ground with her hands on her hips: "Does it hurt? Do you remember it? Will you still rob or steal next time?"
“No, no.”
“Speak louder! Haven’t you had enough to eat?”
“…I’ve been hungry for three days.”
…”
Xu Yin let out a long sigh.
"You go back and count how many people there are in total. I'll make you a pot of porridge and roast some sweet potatoes. Let's take care of you! We will open up wasteland together in the future. I hope we won't do things like today again! You are all grown up now. When you have children in the future, aren't you afraid that your children will know what you are doing today? Or do you want your children to be like you?"
The six people held their heads in their hands, lowered their heads, and began to cry.
“We don’t want to either…”
“We are hungry…”
“I’ve been without food for three days…”
Xu Yin said angrily: "You are a man, just wipe away your tears! Two people will count the number of people, two people will collect firewood, and two people will light the fire!"
When the six people heard this, did they really want to treat them to porridge and sweet potatoes?
Ignoring the pain all over my body, I got up numbly and went to work separately.
Chen Mancang walked over holding his arm: "Brother Hero, why do you have to..."
“Uncle Mancang, how is your arm?” Xu Yin stepped forward, concerned about his injury.
"It's dislocated. I'll ask Dad Shi to push it back for me later."
“How to press it? Is it like this?”
Xu Yin clicked and pushed back his dislocated arm.
Chen Mancang: “…”
Okay, okay?
I don’t know why, but when Shi Feng saw this scene, he couldn’t help but want to laugh.
Many things are obviously so troublesome and bad, but as long as Xu Yingxiong is here, there is nothing he can't resolve or problem that he can't solve.
