Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Thunderbolt on a Clear Day
After a trip out of the mountain, the eldest brothers of the Zhu and Wang families were terrified all the way. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info When passing by the Ascension Inn, they also went in to inquire.
Tian Xiaoer told them that those rumors were true. There is another even more crazy rumor, that the officials and generals stationed in the capital have just supported a young new emperor.
"I heard that it is the nephew who escaped from the Holy Lord, and he is almost nine years old this year. In the name of King Qin in the capital, they ordered all the generals and generals to recruit and persuade those civil rebels to surrender. Tian Xiaoer sat at the table and said with his chin in his hands.
Meng Ge drank two large sips of tea before he felt that his inexplicable panic was better. She had a hunch lately that something big was about to happen to them.
As for what kind of thing it was, Meng Ge couldn't think of it at all, and he couldn't predict it.
Since it was getting late, and so many things had happened recently, the two eldest brothers of King Zhu proposed to stay at the Ascension Inn for one night.
Meng Ge thought that this was the only way to go. I only hope that Yu Yang and the two children can be safe and sound at home.
This night, Meng Ge couldn't rest for a long time. She thought about the things in the mountains, and she felt a headache.
Could it be that those people were all caught there? Otherwise, where did those people go after they disappeared into thin air?
Early the next morning, Meng Ge opened his slightly swollen eyes, carried all the food he had packed, and returned to the village as soon as possible.
King Zhu's two eldest brothers are in charge of the two pigs. They didn't get much rest along the way, and they returned to the village at the beginning of the day.
Before entering the village, Yu Yang and Meng Mao, who were waiting at the entrance of the village, surrounded them. Of course, it can only be Yu Yang's long and short questions.
Meng Mao was smiling on the side, his little face was red with excitement, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead and nose.
The midsummer sun was scorching the earth, and it was about to scorch Menggo and them.
"When we walked all the way back, we found that many of the crops were dying in many places that were not close to the river. Meng Ge told Yu Yang.
Yu Yang's mood was a little heavy. He still hasn't forgotten the scene of their escape that year.
At that time, it seems that this kind of weather was also encountered. After that, it didn't rain until they were forced to flee.
The past is vivid, and the tragic death of parents and relatives is yesterday. Yu Yang was as uncomfortable as Meng Ge, and his heart was panicked.
Back on the hill and setting everything in place, Mongo routinely checked the progress of the men.
What Meng Gerang built was a brick house with five large rooms. The east wing on the left is a place for stacking grain and sundries.
The west wing room on the right side has a verandah where it meets the main house. There, for the time being, is a made-to-order kitchen.
After that, there is the hall in the middle of the main house, which is built in the form of a hall. In the backyard leading to the back of the hall, thatched huts and livestock sheds were built.
Of course, there is also a vegetable patch in the backyard that is about three points long. Because half of the new houses were built on the troubled pile, the thatched huts and cattle sheds were built on that side.
On the other side, although it was reserved as a vegetable patch, a very solid firewood shed was also built.
The walls of the whole courtyard are made of stone. There happened to be a large pile of rubble, which saved the effort of finding stones.
Because it takes auspicious time to go up the beams, the big guys are not moving the house, or building the courtyard wall, or adding doors and windows to the new house.
Meng Ge looked at the floor in the room and found that it was too potholed, and it was a little difficult to get down. Fortunately, the bricks she burned earlier included exactly the amount of flooring.
The house didn't need to be bothered by Meng Ge, so Meng Ge went to the field and shook it around. I saw that although the crops did not grow as well as those villagers under the valley, they were also lush and straight.
Although the amount of water at that waterfall has decreased, Meng Ge is not worried. It is said that there has been no water supply here for nearly 100 years.
In the fields where the grass was swept through, the weeds were still thriving. This is one of the shortcomings of the newly opened land.
Meng Ge looked at the rice seedlings that were ready to draw flowers, and felt very satisfied. At least, she took her two younger brothers and grew the food with her own hands.
It's a sense of accomplishment, a sense of pride to be proud of.
Meng Mao has always been obediently by Meng Ge's side, and he will go wherever Meng Ge goes. Meng Ge knew that it was she who had stayed out last night without explaining and scared him.
"Little spear, my sister can't stay by your side for the rest of your life. In the future, you have to strengthen your physical exercise, and you will be familiar with and thoroughly understand the set of punches that your sister taught you. Do you know?" Meng Ge said, touching Meng Mao's head.
Meng Ge nodded firmly, reached out and stroked Meng Ge's frowning brow, and wiped it away over and over again.
Meng Ge was budded by Meng Mao's action, and instantly burst into tears. She grabbed Meng Mao's hand, held his slightly round little face with both hands and rubbed it.
The time has finally come to put on the beam. According to local customs, when the beam is put on, you have to light the cannon that is wrapped around the beam, and on both sides of the beam, you have to ride an unmarried strong guy and sprinkle the sugar biscuits and fruits in your hand down.
Meng Mao didn't want to join in the fun, so Meng Ge pulled him to squeeze around the crowd, and saw the needles and needles come forward to grab a piece of cake, pick up a piece of candy, pick up a fruit or something.
Naturally, those things ended up in Meng Mao's pocket.
When the girder is settled, the other columns and beams are buried and nailed, and the banquet begins.
Except for those who came to Mengge's house to help, the big guys tried to reduce the amount of food they ate for a while, so as to avoid that when the drought really came, they would not have enough to eat.
Meng Ge's banquet is not the best, but the amount is definitely the most sufficient. The children in the village gathered around their elders and ate with their bellies open, and their expressions were as satisfied as they wanted.
Looking at the appearance of those children, Meng Ge remembered the five brothers. I don't know if Wu'er's health is better, and if they have anything to eat.
Towards the end of the feast, someone from the village came. It was no one else, but a messenger.
This time, the yacha came with the exact time of conscription and the roster. After Tang Li went down the mountain to pick up the roster, he returned to the mountain for a long time.
As for the target of conscription, Meng Ge is not worried at all. Xu is because he is the only adult head of the Yu family, and there is no family on the previous conscription list.
Only this time Tang Li was coming back, and the eyes that looked at them were very kind, and they were more gentle than ever.
Tang Lizheng's sudden change made Meng Ge vigilant. Especially the appearance of Tang Xiaomei becoming extremely bright in an instant, which made Meng Ge even more frightened.
Sure enough, when the banquet ended, Tang Lizheng gathered everyone together to speak.
"This time the conscription was handed over until the beginning of August. In our village, if there are young and middle-aged people in the family, they all have to join the army, and only the old and young can be left. Yu Fei's house, except for Yu Li, Yu Fei and Yu Yang have to go. As soon as Tang Li finished speaking, he placed the dozen rosters on the table in front of him.
Tang Lizheng's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, exploding in everyone's minds.
Meng Ge looked through the roster in disbelief, and really found his and Yu Yang's names in the last column.
