Chapter 307: Persistence

The group sat together to discuss the future itinerary, and it was a good way for Li Xiu and Lin Xiucai to stay in Shanghe Village to recuperate, but Mo Xiaohe always felt that the people in the village and the officials said differently, which was strange.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, don't figure it out, Li Xiu and his wife don't have a little attack power, staying here is equal to Longtan Tiger's Den, it's better to find an inn in the town, but to live for a month, you have to boil medicine in the morning and evening on weekdays, the inn is full of people, just a kitchen, there is a lot of inconvenience.

"Xiaohe, in a month, I will be able to go on the road, you will be in Dawu Kyoto at that time, maybe you have already returned?"

If so, the group will not be able to touch it, and it is likely to take a fork in the road. Li Xiu just learned that she was pregnant, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to keep it, so her heart went up and down, and Mo Xiaohe was an experienced person, and she wanted to learn from it.

"You don't have to worry, I'll leave you a place when the time comes, you go to the shopkeeper, and he will help deliver the news."

Yingluo is enthusiastic to help, looking at a person pleasing to the eye, no matter how you look at it, she is in this state to Mo Xiaohe, the other party didn't expect it, it's okay, everything is with her, Kyoto is her territory.

"Great, I'm worried about this."

Mo Xiaohe went to Dawu Kyoto for the first time, and mainly for her mother-in-law and barley, this kind of thing, in modern times, is a rich woman with a family and Xiao Xianrou eloped, although modern people are more open, and the ideological constraints formed for thousands of years cannot accept the fact that women and men are in their teens, and they attract ridicule when they say it.

The ugliness of the family should not be publicized, as a daughter-in-law, Mo Xiaohe is very difficult to do, sometimes when she thinks of what she has done, her cheeks are hot, standing in the middle, in a dilemma, this matter is put on others, at most she sighs, but when it is her turn, she always feels awkward.

Da Yue and Da Wu went to war, Licheng gave up looking for Mrs. Gu, mother-in-law and barley in Dawu Kyoto, it should be the safest, since this step, no matter good or bad, it doesn't matter whether Qing Barley changes his mind in the future, adults should have their own responsibilities for doing things.

Afraid of what? Fearless, it's not bad to cherish what is in front of you, Mo Xiaohe thought, today I don't know what will happen tomorrow, the world is impermanent, it is better to live in the moment, happy day by day, even if I wait for my mother-in-law Lao Zhuhuang to be abandoned that day, and Gu Zheng, no matter what, Mrs. Gu is Gu Zheng's mother-in-law, they will never ignore it.

Mo Xiaohe can't comment on her father-in-law who became the lord of Licheng, but one thing she can be sure of is that if she really marries such a man and is blocked in the backyard for a lifetime, it is better to enter the palace and be the imperial concubine.

It is said that the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, Gu Zheng did not grow up in the city lord's mansion, and there was a slight change in his personality, but no matter how much he could change his machismo. For Mo Xiaohe, machismo is not a derogatory term, and it is quite nourishing to be taken care of.

"I'm going to talk to the big guy and see if I can borrow an ox cart tomorrow."

There were only three days, and the more Lin Xiucai thought about it, the more anxious he became, as if he was roasted by fire, and he stood up and was about to go out.

"Brother-in-law, you better stay and take care of your cousin."

Mo Xiaohe stopped Lin Xiucai, tossing for so long, seeing that it was going to be dark, the roads around him were full of potholes at night, and when he arrived in the town, everyone was closed, and he couldn't find a medical hall that opened the door, so it was better to prepare first, and he would go on the road at dawn tomorrow.

"Borrow the ox cart and give it to me."

Gu Zheng nodded at Lin Xiucai, and by the way, he took advantage of the night to inquire about the people in the village to see what was strange in Shanghe Village.

Two hours later, Gu Zheng returned to the courtyard.

From the Korean paper in the window, a little dim light came out, Mo Xiaohe was wearing a dress, standing in the dark shadow that could not be illuminated, and when she heard the sound, she immediately smiled and squinted her eyes, and shouted, "Husband, ......"

This shout was like a handful of mountain spring water, clear and sweet, Gu Zheng couldn't help but relax the tense nerves on his face, and said in a deep voice, "Why don't you go in and wait?" ”

"You've been out for a long time, I guess you're coming back."

My cousin was pregnant, Lin Xiucai was restless, and after Li Xiu's saddle and horse, Mo Xiaohe gathered around to watch the excitement, and began to see him in a hurry, knocking over two teacups, and felt that Lin Xiucai was like a stunned young man after learning that he had his own bloodline, and after several times, she was a little disgusted, and secretly compared Gu Zheng and Lin Xiucai in her heart. The results of the comparison can only make her more proud.

For more than an hour, when Gu Zheng didn't come back, Mo Xiaohe always felt stuffy in the house, she was waiting at the door, and she could breathe.

"Lady, let's go in and talk."

I just went to a few families to secretly inquire about the news, Shanghe Village is indeed a little weird, the so-called weird, is a kind of persistence, a deep emotion, at least, others can't understand, maybe in the eyes of outsiders, there is still a little naïve and ridiculous.

"Husband, I'm even more curious when you say that, what kind of weirdness is that?"

After entering the house, several people were sitting or standing, waiting for news, Mo Xiaohe first poured a glass of water for his husband, and then took a dry cloth towel to wipe the water on his face for him, and after taking care of it, he sat down and prepared to listen.

"It's really distressing for my own man, let's all be anxious to hear what's going on."

Xu Yanhui was tied up, tied to the strong maid, and sat on a small stool together, the strong maid squeezed him into a straight line, and his butt was only attached to the side of the chair. He straightened his back and maintained a position for several hours, his body stiff up and down, but he refused to move.

"You are a prisoner, what position do you think you have to express your views on God?"

Yingluo rolled her eyes and scolded Xu Yan back, anyway, when she saw him embarrassed, she felt happy. Maybe some people are born enemies, but they can't be happy enemies.

"You ......"

A good man doesn't eat the loss in front of him, Xu Yan shut up, Yingluo, that poisonous woman is the best at making poison, for the sake of his peerless appearance that has no one before or after him, he can bear it.

Gu Zheng sat next to his wife and thought about it, the strangeness of Shanghe Village had to start from the origin of a hundred years ago.

The ancestors of the villagers of Shanghe Village settled in the suburbs of Dawujing, and hundreds of years ago, there was a drought for many years, and there was no grass on the ground, and a big gap was opened in the dry cracks.

At that time, Dawu was at war with the surrounding small countries, internal and external troubles, the people were struggling to survive, countless people starved to death, and even the tragedy of cannibalism occurred.

The ancestors went all the way north along the canal that was about to dry up, and finally this location had the most water, and there were fish and shrimp in the water, so they relied on the fish and shrimp to escape the natural disaster.

Just a few decades ago, there were many villages around Shanghe Village, but there was no river embankment on both sides, only a gentle slope, in case of rain and water, it could flood the crops and fields at any time, and the surrounding villagers were miserable.

Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to draft water, the villagers of Shanghe Village have a deep affection for here, and they have petitioned the yamen several times, begging to build the river embankment, but the surrounding area is barren, and the construction of the river embankment costs the people and money, and it is not considered a political achievement, and the parents and officials not only refused, but they were impatient to see the people of Shanghe Village, and beat people out several times.

Since then, the villagers and the yamen have made enemies, and when they meet the yamen to salvage the corpses in the river, the villagers rely on their familiarity with the terrain and good water quality, and the lion opens his mouth to ask for a price, so they do not deal with the yamen, and often have conflicts.

"Husband, no wonder the big guy wants to grab business with the yamen to make money."

Yamen soup porridge, which has a doorway, to the official official official silver, can be divided into a better tent, porridge is also dried at the bottom of the pot, there is no benefit, only to Sheng Qing soup with little water, rice grains are clearly visible. The big guy is a bit suspicious of taking advantage of the fire to rob, but he does business fairly, and the people of Shanghe Village are only hostile to the people of the Yamen.

"They don't make money for themselves, every household in the village has a unified distribution of food and clothing, and the money they save is recorded in a booklet and left in the village chief's house."

Gu Zheng went to several houses in a row, integrating the content of the villagers' conversations, it was almost unbelievable, not to mention the people in the village, that is, between relatives, there were many people who did not separate their families and caused conflicts, and handed over the money they had saved to the village for unified distribution, and worked hard to make it in one place, which was surprisingly harmonious, which made him very incomprehensible.

The youngest son of the village chief has a craft and works in other places, but every year when he returns to the village, he will hand over the money and do not hide his personal interests at all. The money they received was only to make up enough money to build a river to ensure that their ancestors had been living in Shanghe Village for generations.

After days of wind and rain, the canal rose badly, the village chief was very worried, the village silver had been saved for decades, and it was okay to repair a short section, but now the farm is busy, and the price of asking people to help is too high, and it will be postponed for a while.

Mo Xiaohe remembered an idiom, the foolish man moves mountains, and the ancestors look stupid for a goal, but this kind of perseverance can move people, and at this moment, she suddenly has a much better impression of the villagers.

Late at night, everyone went back to their respective rooms to rest, and just now the group decided that after arriving in the town, they would go their separate ways according to what had been discussed.

"It's not his style to borrow an oxcart so easily for a big guy!"

In private, Mo Xiaohe asked her husband, although Shanghe Village is not bad, but they do need silver, and if they don't give some benefits, the other party will not easily agree, after all, they are not relatives.

"Promise him that when we get to the town, we will deliver a carriage to the village."

Gu Zheng nodded, he had his own considerations for doing this, on the one hand, to express his gratitude, and secondly, the ox cart was too slow, if Lin Xiucai and Li Xiu were at the foot of Shanghe Village for a month, if there was anything to buy, or to find Langzhong in the town, it would be more convenient to have a carriage.

Mo Xiaohe gave a thumbs up, her husband was thoughtful in everything, and there was really nothing for her to worry about.
