Chapter 256 Store more food and build a high wall!
Hu Er himself was very happy, talking about the number in his mouth, trying to figure out how much money he could get.
I still thought in my heart, I can bear the name, but I can’t be greedy for the two taels of silver from Yan Er’s family, and I have to give it to others after it is distributed.
After the official errands finished their errands, Village Chief Luo kept them in the village for dinner as usual.
They have always come here in Qishan.
As long as there is an official sent to the countryside, no matter what they are here for, whether it is official business or private business, this meal must be provided. If the tolerance for collecting grain taxes is to be paid, some money must be stuffed, so as not to fight too hard...
To their surprise, this group of officials didn't even eat food, and only asked them to find a few people to go to Yongning City to pick up their family members.
Village Chief Luo is very grateful.
Sending the person away properly, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.
"Does the official think that our village is poor so we don't stay for dinner?"
Their houses are relatively shabby.
These officials did not go inside, and the area at the entrance of the village was messed up after this battle, which was even more unsightly.
Master Lu said: "Most of them have errands, so they can't delay."
Village head Luo asked him: "The officials here like to eat in the village, right? How do you usually treat them?"
Master Lu recalled: “They will come over every year when the grain harvest is dispatched, so they have to weigh a hard dish, and if someone commits a crime in the village, they will come down and lock them up, and they have to take care of it...
However, such cases are rare. We are all farmers who work hard, so we usually don’t get involved in lawsuits.
You don’t have to worry about it in your village. Didn’t you say that the owner who asked us to build a house is a household book in Huju City? Tsk tsk, there are many benefits here, and you can save a lot of money just by taking care of meals. "
Village Chief Luo shook his head and said, "You don't know. Although the official sent to the countryside before, although it didn't look too much for our scholar's face, the rules that should be followed must be followed. Nothing is bad."
"It's different!" Master Lu said with emotion, "I've been to many people, and I've heard some things outside of Guanzhou. Our Guanzhou scholars are precious. If there is a scholar master in any village, those officials will be very polite.
What's more, the two masters in your village who are studying are still holding the jobs of the yamen, which is even more different.
Perhaps those officials in Yongning City just now were embarrassed to leave a meal because of this, for fear that it would spread to Hu Ju and people would talk about it.
If you are not an official of our Huju, how can you eat our food. "
Yan Yu listened to everything.
I thought to myself: What Master Lu said is true, and it sounds quite reasonable.
Our village belongs to Huju City, and your Yongning official sent across the city to enforce the law can be said to have caught up with you and helped you, and came to our village for dinner...
We feel nothing.
I was afraid that Huju City would not like it.
…
Yan Yu begged Qi Wushu to cross the river with her and row her family's raft back.
Qi Wu didn't say a word, he lowered his body and asked Yan Yu to climb on his back.
Pick up the child and leave.
Yan Yu's face was full of internal flow.
This is because Qi Wushu thinks that she has short legs and walks slowly.
Crossing the river from the big stone bridge, the two walked along the river bank and saw a raft tied to a tree by the river.
Qi Wu propped the raft back in a few moments, and tied a knot on the wooden pier.
As soon as Yan Yu jumped down, she saw the eldest sister who was walking with wind.
"Xiao Er, Uncle and the others are back!"
"Oh!" Yan Yu's face blossomed, and she responded happily.
Turned his head and said: "Uncle Qi, I'm going back first!"
Qi Wuhan nodded with a smile, "I'll be behind you."
Yan Yu began to move her calves, and when she reached the elder sister, the two sisters took the hand and ran home together.
Da Ya seldom ran so wildly, her face was flushed, and her hair was a little messy.
Looking at Yan Yu again, her little face is also flushed, with a pair of sparkling eyes, she looks like a doll in a New Year painting.
Qi Wuda followed behind, and from a distance, he saw that the big rock in the center of the village was full of people.
When I went there, the car was empty, but when I came back, every car was filled with large tanks, jars, and jars.
There are also the small hoes and sickles mentioned by Yan Yu, which are inserted in the gaps.
Looking at the familiar bags, they should contain salt. The last time they bought salt, it was similar to this.
No one unloaded anything.
As soon as Yan Laoer and his party came back, before they could stand still, they were surrounded by villagers, talking about the big events that happened today.
"Good guy, people from Beirong have come over the mountain, it's always dangerous, we are hiding in the cellar, and we are crossing the river to escape to Yongning City, my father, mother, my wife and my baby are still here Haven't come back yet."
"The officials from Yongning City are also here, give us a good meal to ask, but it's time to leave, I'm so nervous..."
"Why did you come back, didn't you meet the person who reported to Huju?"
"Oh my God, where did Wang Erlang go? Could it be that he found the wrong way and got lost?"
"That can't be done. Count Wang Erlang to know the way. He said it himself. He can remember it after walking through it once."
"Then do we need to find someone? Yan Er and the others are all back, and they have gone two forks?"
"Yan Er, those six dead people are still lying at the crossing of my house. Those officials said that the officials on the other side of Huju City will be taken away? Isn't Huju closing the city? Why are people pulling it? No, no, let's go They send it?"
"Sun Erdan, what do you think, the car in our village is so unlucky to pull those people, they are not from our side, they are barbarians."
"Don't think of them as human beings. If they are animals, they will be finished. They are two taels of silver. Let's transport them to receive the reward."
"The silver should have been taken earlier."
…
Yan's second son heard that his head was about to explode.
They just took this trip, and it only took more than half a day. Why did such a big thing happen!
God!
Nabei Rong even thought of going over the mountain.
Will you turn it over again in the future?
Will you still come to their village if you turn it over?
My daughter found it in the mountains?
My wife shot another one?
The iron crossbow was not exposed, and the bow was snatched from those turtle grandsons?
The officials of Yongning City did not take away, but all the weapons were left to them?
Did not eat in the village.
The person who went out to hide has not been picked up yet.
There are too many messages to receive, and Yan Laoer is completely confused.
"Well, I'll go home and have a look first."
He has to see his wife and daughter first.
Especially the former.
A pregnant woman is always so frightened, can she bear it?
Yan Yu shouted happily: "Father!"
Yan's second child almost burst into tears when he heard this sound and saw the girl bouncing behind the crowd.
"Xiao Er! Go home, go home quickly."
The villagers made way for him.
The big guy finally finished speaking, and he also knew to help unload the truck and move everything down.
Luo Da and the others who drove the car were just as dumbfounded.
It took a long while to recover, feeling a wave of fear.
Entering the courtyard, Yan Er went straight to the room.
Yan Yu rushed forward and stopped him.
"Father, don't go there yet. Mother fell asleep as soon as she came back. She didn't come out with such a big commotion outside. Maybe she hasn't woken up yet."
Yan's second son turned to look at her: "Tell me, why did they come from the mountains? It's too scary. Our place is not safe!"
Yan Yu dragged him to the backyard, and used her little hands to comfort the frightened father.
"Father, it doesn't matter where we are, look at Master Lu, when he heard about Beirong, he screamed to rush.
Even if it’s okay in Yongning City, these people turned over from the other side of the mountain, and no one would notice it, it’s not like letting them get in.
On the contrary, there are us here, they want to sneak over, it is impossible, our cats search for them, and they will be sure. "
"Is your mother okay?" Yan Er Er asked.
Yan Yu: "It doesn't look like something is wrong, my mother has a strong heart, it's better than you accept."
Yan’s second child: “You don’t know that I heard people in the village say that they have bows and knives, and they are so afraid that they will die.
There are only six people this time, what if there are more people next time? How do we fight? Hiding in the cellar is not an option. Those Bei Rong veterans who have come here have figured it out. They know that every family here is digging cellars. If you pay attention, you will find it.
That's how you were hunted this time, it's too dangerous! In case Hu Er didn't send someone to bring the iron crossbow, you..."
"There is no chance, Dad, this time we have a long memory, there will be no next time." Yan Yu also felt that hiding in the cellar was too unreliable.
Almost got people stuck inside.
"Father, this time the passage in the middle of our cellar has done a great job. Do you remember that there was a movie about digging the tunnel?"
"Tunnel warfare." Yan Lao said heartily, I have watched this movie countless times.
"That's right, that's it." Yan Yu hurriedly nodded and said, "Let's dig tunnels for the whole village, and if this happens again, we'll just go around in the tunnel and fight with them!"
Yan Lao Er looked at her with indescribable eyes.
"Daughter! Do you know how difficult it is to actually operate?"
Yan Yu thought for a while and asked, "What's the difficulty? Connect the cellars of each family, dig some hidden spaces to hide people, remember a few important hubs, and draw some things that only we can understand." Signs to guide the way are nothing more than time-consuming.”
"Just remembering the road will kill the old people in our village." Yan Laoer hit the nail on the head.
"Let's not talk about the distance, let's just say that Wang Erlang in the village is better at knowing the way. Did you hear that, Village Chief Luo asked him to go to Huju City to report the news. He should meet us. Where is he now? Where is he going? Already? Report it yourself.”
"Build tunnels in the village, and when they memorize the roads, they will use the tunnels to kill Bei Rong. The Bei Rong will not know how many stubbles have come, and it will be too late."
Yan Yu frowned.
I think what her father said makes sense.
This is the benefit of eating more rice salt for many years, and it is more practical to consider the problem.
"And the authenticity not only affects Beirong, but also takes away the advantages of our village." Yan Laoer said.
Yan Yu thought for a moment, then came to her senses.
"Dad, are you saying that it will also affect archery in our village?"
"Yes! You will not talk about Uncle Hu and Uncle Hu. People in our village can shoot from a distance, but not close up. We can't compare with the locals in Guanzhou. We haven't practiced before."
At this moment, Yan Laoer felt that it was necessary to bring everyone into the military barracks to practice during the slack season in Guanzhou.
If not, Master Lu and the others would not rush forward without hesitation.
Yan Yu thought for a while, "Those Yongning officials didn't take away those weapons, did they belong to Huju by default? Or can we keep them for ourselves?"
Yan's second son stared wide-eyed.
He heard his daughter say again: "Since it is normal for Beirong to cross the border, Guanzhou even has the idea that all the people are soldiers. You can't do it with your bare hands. Then where did this weapon come from? The enemy sent it to us!"
Yan’s second child: …
Summary is in place.
"To give full play to the advantages of our village... let's build a few watchtowers. The location is well chosen, condescending, with no blind spots in all directions, and shoot them to death."
She waved her small fist aggressively.
Er Er Yan praised: "That's right, I think so too. Isn't there a saying, store more food and build high walls."
"Father! That's called building walls high, accumulating grain widely, and becoming king slowly." Yan Yu corrected him.
Yan Laoer said indifferently: "Give it to the last three words, that's almost what it means."
"The archery tower needs to be built, and a high wall should be built to surround our village and use cement for our family. The wall should be thicker, and a moat should be dug outside? Oh no, the homestead has been drawn out, there is not such a big place ..."
Yan Yu thinks this is reliable, the key is to follow the train of thought, and stay in the village with a sense of security!
Yan's second son also turned this matter around in his mind a few times.
He nodded heavily and said, "I'll talk to Village Chief Luo later."
The two of them were about to go back to the house when they saw Nanny Rong and Da Ya coming to the backyard.
Da Ya seemed hesitant to speak.
Nurse Rong glanced around with a smile on her face, and walked straight to the hen who was strolling leisurely.
Bending slightly, stretch out your hand.
A hen was caught by her wings.
The hen struggled a few times, and when she couldn't break free, she stopped struggling and kept gurgling.
The hen walking next to her was frightened and flapped her clipped wings.
Although it doesn’t fly high, it really tries its best...
Desperately stay away from the dangerous position just now.
Yan Lao Er and Yan Yu looked at each other, and both saw the doubts in each other's eyes.
Why are you catching chickens?
Soon they will know.
Nurse Rong's water is all boiled.
Hands up and down!
Pluck the chicken!
Yan’s second child: …
Yan Yu: …
Good luck, have chicken tonight?
The big girl leaned over and said in a low voice: "Nurse Rong said that my aunt was frightened and she had to eat chicken to suppress her shock."
Yan Er and Yan Yu stared again.
Does eating chicken still have this effect?
But... kill everything, just eat.
Nurse Rong said it would be there.
Yan Yu began to salivate, swallowing again and again.
My little head couldn't help but guess what this Chicken Nurse would do.
It’s her family’s laying hen.
On weekdays, Aunt Rong takes good care of them. The only rooster in the family wants to eat more, and she has to look at the eyes of Aunt Rong and the hens.
Hey, why not eat a cock?
She looked at the little rooster who had regained his strength and continued to stroll in the vegetable garden.
Well, it still looks a little skinny, and Nanny Rong probably thinks it's not fleshy enough.
Yan Lao Er tiptoed into the room to take a look, and then came out quietly.
Out of the house.
The things pulled back from the big rock are waiting for him to distribute.
The two sisters, Da Ya and Er Ya, entered the kitchen.
The former is learning by heart.
The latter is curious as hell.
Seeing Nanny Rong take out a cloth bag and open it layer by layer.
Yan Yu's eyes are wide open.
Isn't that... her dad's precious ginseng.
