Chapter 81: I learned by chance
The new house was completed, and Meng Ge and they were not in a hurry to move in. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info After all, the house still has to be damp.
Even if Meng Ge and the others deliberately didn't think about it, the people in the village never forgot it.
In particular, a few people from the village went to town and came back, and those people were even more terrified.
It is said that the number of victims outside has doubled. Moreover, in the face of hunger, those people had long since lost any moral restraints, and they vied with each other to dig up and eat all the crops that had not yet grown at the edge of the town.
However, there are still people who can't resist dying every day, just in this season of harvest.
The number of officials in the town has increased by a few dozen, all of whom were recruited from nearby villages temporarily. Luoshan Village also went to two, the eldest grandson of the Li Zheng family and Tang Xiaomei's man.
It just so happens that these two families do not have a quota for joining the army. Originally, the people in the village were still discussing why, but when they saw that the two of them had gone to work as yachas, the people in the village stopped saying anything.
It's just that secretly, there are still people who say that any village official can also go to heaven.
Meng Ge felt that the village was really dull, so he packed up all the crops, thinking that he couldn't harvest it for ten days and a half months, so he took Yu Yang and Meng Mao into the mountain.
This time, they went to explore the route. In other words, if the conscription had to be carried out in the end, Mongo would abscond with his two younger brothers, wait for everything to pass, and then come back.
It's just that when the time comes, the people in the village will not get along very well. Especially those people in Lizheng.
Meng Ge regretted that his house was not built at the right time. She should have waited for the world to settle down before she started doing these things.
At this time, Meng Ge built a house that cost hundreds of taels of silver, which was really eye-catching. Many people in the village are jealous of this.
Of course, there are more good people. Someone kindly advised Meng Ge that they should live a low-key life in the future, so as not to cause some trouble at this time.
Meng Ge is sincerely grateful to those people, and he also feels that he has lived a little high-profile in the past half a year.
First, he spent a lot of money to settle down to buy land and build a house. Later, he bought food and other goods on a large scale, and also exposed his hunting skills.
It is precisely because of this that they recruited Li Zheng and others, isn't it? Meng Ge thought to herself, the villagers who reminded her to keep a low profile should have seen something.
Due to the special location of Meng Ge and them, they usually don't go down the mountain to interact with the villagers, but this time Meng Ge and they entered the mountain, and no one in the village found out.
By the time Mongo and the others returned home with a pile of prey, everything was normal in the village.
I heard that the three daughters who married outside the Lizheng family have returned. They came back to cry to Lizheng because their family had been drafted.
Meng Ge didn't plan to pay attention to those miscellaneous things, but took his two younger brothers to pack up all the prey and make all kinds of dried meat for storage.
In the middle of busyness, the rice filling is completed, and in another three or five days, it will be harvested. Meng Ge found the harvesting tools and cleaned them up.
On this day, Meng Mao was clamoring to eat fish, so Meng Ge carried the basket and went down the mountain. The people in the village were also busy with the upcoming harvest, and Meng Ge didn't meet anyone along the way.
The river in the valley, the water level is still there. It hasn't rained for three months, and the water level hasn't receded.
Meng Ge chose a place with good terrain, put down the basket with the bait, and climbed a tree next to it to rest.
There are a lot of fish in this river, and the basket is filled with bait, and it will soon be able to be put away.
The summer has passed, and even tomorrow's empty afternoon, there is no longer that heat in the village.
It's just that this arid climate always makes people look depressed. Mongo sat on the branches, feeling the moisture rising from the river, melting the boredom in her body.
While enjoying the time, two women came by the river. Meng Ge had never seen those two. But from what they said, you can guess who those two are.
"Third sister, do you think Dad can really help us? I heard that my father used the means, so the family didn't need to make people to fight as soldiers. Look at Fu'er, he has gone to be a messenger. The older woman frowned, and could not hide the vicissitudes of life on her face.
The woman who was called the third sister looked better on her face, but there was still a thick bitterness in her words.
"Eldest sister, dad has been in charge of our affairs for so many years? I see, let's not count on Dad, it's better to go back and prepare well, so that we can send the head of the family to the barracks. The woman in the blue and purple dress said.
This woman is dressed quite well, and I want to meet someone from a good family. Listening to what she said, there wasn't a good person there.
"Well, what do you say my father has used? I heard that three new children have settled in the village. Dad, shouldn't he have pushed those three children out? The older woman asked wistfully.
The woman in purple replied, "Do you still need to ask?" Dad, he didn't collude with the town's yacha once or twice. In the past, weren't those families all squeezed out by him like this? In this matter, the little sister must have no less ideas. It's just our fourth sister, and we always want to make up for them. ”
The two women did not intend to stay by the river, but talked as they went. As the words drifted away, Meng Ge pricked up his ears and couldn't hear the conversation clearly.
However, she also has a good hand of information. If these people are all going to die, why should she keep her hands?
Meng Ge was secretly poking and poking in the trees thinking of countermeasures, so much so that he forgot the hour. It was Yu Yang who came along the river with Meng Mao to look for her, and she realized that she had been sitting in the tree for a long time.
"Don't worry, I'm here. I was just thinking about things and getting fascinated by them, and I didn't remember the time. Meng Ge jumped down from the tree and stopped the two boys who were so anxious that they wiped their tears.
Seeing Meng Ge, Meng Mao and Yu Yang flew over. Yu Yang shouted breathlessly: "We are crazy looking for you, and we thought you had an accident." ”
Meng Mao buried his head in Meng Ge's arms, rubbed it vigorously, and hugged his hands tightly.
Meng Ge looked at the nervous two with a smile and said, "What are you worried about, I still remember the two of you, how could I let myself have an accident." Okay, let's help me get the basket up and see how many fish I can catch. ”
The fish basket got up, and the fish bouncing inside bounced and wanted to escape, but unfortunately they were stopped by the mouth of the basket and finally stayed in the basket.
Meng Ge mentioned that on the shore, Meng Mao and Yu Yang hurried over to take a look. There are more than half a basket of fish and shrimp in the fish basket. Xu is a good bait, there are several big fish.
Among them is a very rare black fish. Meng Ge turned the basket and said, "Let's go, go home and cook fish to eat." What do you want to do with this fish? ”
"I love to eat squirrel fish, and I love to eat small spears. Isn't that right, spear? Yu Yang replied briskly.
Meng Mao nodded vigorously on the side, indicating that he loved to eat squirrel fish. So Meng Ge agreed.
Squirrel fish usually use tomato sauce. It's a pity that there is still such a bad thing as tomatoes here, so Meng Ge boiled the sweet and sour juice with hawthorn and sugar.
Eating the squirrel fish they liked, the two boys were very happy. Meng Ge looked at the two babies and suddenly felt that there were some things that it was better not to tell them first.
