Xia Mei gritted her teeth, her nails tightly sunk into her palms, and she forcibly held down her mind that she wanted to turn back, and walked back step by step. "樂" Wen "Xiao" said|

She knew that the man behind her must have been watching her leave affectionately, and she tried not to think about whether this parting was forever.

She can only move forward step by step, and she can't turn back, otherwise it will be hindering his footsteps.

I kept taking deep breaths, holding back the wetness in my eyes, and my steps were heavy, as if there was a deep footprint in every step under my feet.

Just as she slowly walked away, and was about to disappear around the corner, a shout suddenly came from behind, Xia Mei hurriedly turned her head, only to find that it was Liu Quan who ran over in shock.

"Mrs. Xia! Take a look! The shopkeeper ...... He! ”

Liu Quan was out of breath and couldn't explain clearly, so he pulled Xia Mei and ran back in a hurry, Wen Xi and Yunni glanced at each other and followed. Wu Song also found out, and in the blink of an eye, they turned around, called Liu Quan and asked, "Why are you so flustered?" ”

Liu Quan's face was about to cry, and when he saw Xia Mei, he also looked at him suspiciously, so he had to grit his teeth and say, "He is the shopkeeper...... He's going to war, too! ”

The glance fell, causing everyone to be shocked, Xia Mei's first reaction was, "How is it possible?!" ”

yes, how is that possible?

The person who was so angry with Wu Song's joining the army just now that he went crazy why he went to join the army in a blink of an eye?

Could it be ...... Xia Mei was frightened by her own conjecture and asked in a trembling voice, "Isn't he ...... For the sake of the husband, I ......"

Liu Quan had a bitter face and glared at Xia Mei sadly, Wu Song didn't dare to stare, so he could only complain: "Who knows what the shopkeeper thinks, I just followed in, and I originally signed up for Brother Wen, but who knew that the shopkeeper suddenly said that he wanted to sign up." I was so scared that I hurriedly dragged him away, let Brother Wen look at him, and then came to find you, Mrs. Xia. ”

Liu Quan pleaded in a pleading tone, "Mrs. Xia, please, you must stop the shopkeeper, there is only one shopkeeper in the Qin family." If only he had a good one. How do I explain to the old shopkeeper? ”

Xia Mei also realized the severity of the matter, and grabbed Liu Quanzhengse, who was about to cry, and said, "Quick, where is he." Take me there! ”

Liu Quan nodded hurriedly and led her to the yamen, Wu Song frowned, and followed.

The three of them soon arrived at the place Liu Quan said. Wen Hao stood in front of Qin Zhihan and stopped him from leaving. Qin Zhihan was full of anger and scolded Wen Hao.

Seeing Liu Quan coming over with Xia Mei, Qin Zhihan was so angry that he almost jumped up and glared at Liu Quan fiercely. Liu Quan shrank his neck in fright.

"Which side the hell are you on?! Come over to me! ”

Liu Quan looked at the shopkeeper with wide-eyed eyes and a terrifying face, and glanced at Xia Mei pleadingly, before slowly moving behind Qin Zhihan. Keep your head down and pretend to be dead.

Qin Zhihan looked at Xia Mei coldly and sneered, "What are you doing here?" He said. Glancing at Wu Song on the side, anger appeared in his heart, and he couldn't help but snort coldly and turned his head.

Xia Mei's eyes were a little evasive, she hesitated for a moment, and finally whispered helplessly: "I'm sorry...... Qin Zhihan, I'm sorry, I ...... just now I don't have a good feeling, I shouldn't treat you like that. ”

When Qin Zhihan heard this, his movements froze, and he turned his head to look at Xia Mei in some surprise, and saw her bow her head quite guiltily, her expression moving slightly.

However, with a glance in his eyes, he found that Wu Song's gaze next to him had some inexplicable meaning, Qin Zhihan raised his eyebrows and swallowed the words on his lips.

"Humph!"

"I'm sorry...... Don't make a fuss, go back! ”

"I don't!"

"Hurry up, don't delay people's time! Go back and make something delicious for you! ”

"I don't want it! I'm not that kind of person! ”

“……”

Wu Song's eyes became colder and colder, and seeing that the provocation in Qin Zhihan's eyes was getting stronger and stronger, he suddenly had a strong sense of crisis in his heart.

If you leave this goods here, wouldn't it be dangerous for your own wife?

Squinting slightly, Wu Song said lightly: "Since that's the case, lady, you just let him go!" ”

“……？”

Everyone looked at him in surprise, and he explained very indifferently: "Qin Gongzi is really condescending to stay in Qingshan Town, how can the posture of the dragon and phoenix be wasted here?" At a time when the country's life and death are at stake, Qin Gongzi should serve the country! Since he has this intention, why do you stop him, lady? ”

When Xia Mei heard this, she paused, thoughtful. Qin Zhihan saw the strange color that flashed on his face, and was about to speak out but was blocked by Wu Song: "Qin Gongzi, you said yes, right?" You will definitely give your own strength for the soldiers who have died and died at the border, right? ”

Qin Zhihan: "......" you little!

Staring at Wu Song's indifferent smiling face, Qin Zhihan secretly gritted his teeth, looked at the eyes of everyone, and swallowed a mouthful of blood.

"I ...... Of course...... Willing......"

Wu Song nodded with satisfaction, Xia Mei looked at him with respectful eyes, "I didn't expect that Qin Zhihan, you would have such a man's day!" Not bad! You have to come on, I have your back! ”

Liu Quanse was also a little moved, and sighed: "The shopkeeper's ...... The young shopkeeper has finally grown up...... You can rest assured......"

Qin Zhihan: "...... "Liu Quan, stinky boy, you can stop me in moderation, hey!"

Taking a deep breath, when Qin Zhihan was about to show that he would do his part even if he didn't go to the front line, Wu Song spoke again: "Since that's the case, then Gongzi Qin will come with me, and Wen Hao, the three of us are together, so we can take care of it." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Qin Zhihan's reaction, Wu Song dragged him away by the sleeve, Wen Hao also trotted to follow, and in a blink of an eye, he arrived at the place where he had registered, and after a few words, he received the identity wooden card, and dragged it back.

Until he came back, Qin Zhihan was still a little stunned, although he did have some elements of anger just now, but what was going on now, why did he sign up in a daze? Why go with this guy?

Seeing that everyone's eyes were sad and awe-inspiring, Qin Zhihan reacted that he had been trapped!

Who will sue him, and now he should not be considered a deserter, right?!

…… A bitter tear can only be silently now, and now, I can only pretend to be very strict, at least the reputation of protecting the family and defending the country can no longer be lost!

Right now, Qin Zhihan, Wu Song, and Wen Hao, the three most powerful men on weekdays, have all joined the army. is about to go to the battlefield, fight bloodily, and fight for his family and country.

Xia Mei couldn't tell what was going on in her heart, she was both sad and relieved. It's sad that important people are on the battlefield, and this sword has no eyes, in case ...... Thankfully. At least there were three of them. Being able to take care of each other, and having a safe back to rely on on on the battlefield.

Suddenly, Liu Quan exclaimed: "Ah! Shopkeeper's. You haven't packed your clothes yet! I'll go back and clean up for you! ”

Saying that, Liu Quan was about to run out, but was dragged back by Qin Zhihan, "Don't be busy, someone will send it to me." You're being fooled. ”

After a hasty explanation, Qin Zhihan was in no mood to chatter. I didn't expect that I would also join the army, and I barely had to worry about the affairs of Qingshan Town, but over there was Tianji Pavilion, there were still a lot of affairs waiting for him to go back and deal with it!

Come to think of it. Qin Zhihan felt that he had a headache.

Glancing at Wu Song fiercely again, Qin Zhihan snorted coldly and pulled Liu Quan over to give a few words. And he entered the ranks by himself.

Wu Song also exhaled a breath of turbidity and nodded to the people in front of him. finally hugged Xia Mei and also entered the team.

Wen Hao just pulled Wen Xi, who was crying out of breath, to the side to comfort her, and finally comforted her, making her believe that with Wu Song and Qin Zhihan here, she would be fine, so Wen Xi reluctantly loosened his sleeve.

Chong Xia Mei saluted, patted Liu Quan's shoulder, and bowed his head with Yun Ni, Wen Hao also slowly entered the team and disappeared.

The team was already in the whole team, and after a quarter of an hour, they set off slowly, Xia Mei looked at the sound of the team getting farther and farther away, and finally couldn't hold back and shed tears.

There were not a few people who came to see them off, and there were even more people who were crying at the moment, and the whole clearing was full of mournful voices, which made those who heard sad and those who saw it wept.

Seeing off Wu Song and them, Xia Mei took Wen Xi and Yunni Liu Quan back to the restaurant.

After sitting in a daze for a while, he really couldn't keep his spirits up, so he said to Liu Quan: "Liu Quan, you go and clean up this restaurant, let's close it temporarily!" Anyway, there is no business in the business, so let's go back to the village first and then make plans! ”

Liu Quan sighed, and there was no way to refute it, this neighborhood is completely dependent on the medicinal materials in the mountains to bring the flow of people, where is there anyone to collect medicine and do business now? There is no traffic, and the restaurant naturally has no business.

No matter what, in the current difficult autumn, it is important to save your life. Where there is life, there is hope!

Comforting himself like this, Liu Quan quickly adjusted and took Wen Xi and Yunni to the back to pack up his things. All the food and other things must be returned to the mountain village, and some valuable things must be hidden, or brought well, divided into several burdens, and hidden in different places, so that it is the safest.

Xia Mei also agreed, so she asked Yunni to help him get it, she is really tired now, she has been made by these things recently, she is always very tired, and she wants to sleep when she sits down.

A few people cleaned up for an afternoon, Wen Xi got some leftovers in the kitchen and cooked noodles, and a few people ate some on the spot, Xia Mei really had no appetite, and she couldn't eat two bites, Wen Xi was very worried.

It didn't take long to finish, Wen Xi hurriedly helped Xia Mei, Liu Quan drove the ox cart of the restaurant, put the things packed on the car, Xia Mei and Wen Xi Yunni squeezed tightly, the ox cart swayed slowly, and walked slowly towards the village.

Back at home, Xia Mei thought about it for a while, so she asked Wen Xi and Yun Ni to stay in the Wu family's courtyard, and the Xia family let Liu Quan live there, and Xia Mei and Tang Bao slept in one room at night, and Yun Ni and Wen Xi slept in one room.

Liu Quan has no opinion, anyway, he has been here several times in this village, and he is familiar, so he is not afraid of anything.

Xinghua didn't come back with them, I heard that they were going to live with Lu Ling for a few days, and the husband and wife were about to face separation, and the sticking point should also be, Xia Mei went next door in person, comforted Su Shi a few words, and said a few good words for Xinghua.

Su Shi knew that Wu Song was also gone, and he was more sympathetic to Xia Mei, and he couldn't be angry with her, so he could only say helplessly: "Okay, in your eyes, am I such a wicked mother-in-law who doesn't know human feelings?!" I wish they could get along for a few more days, and it's best to give me a grandson as soon as possible! ”

Xia Mei chuckled, "That's right, Sister Su became a grandmother at a young age, it's really a blessing!" ”

Having said that, Xia Mei secretly thought, maybe it is more likely that she wants to leave Lu Ling behind!

Speaking of which, the Su family is not much easier than her, how much effort did she put into Lu Ling? Seeing his son start a family and go to the pinnacle of life, who knew that such a sudden come, the life and death of a good son are unknown, isn't this a sin? !

Sighing in her heart, Xia Mei patted Su's hand, and the two women comforted each other in this dim room.

Since they were gone, Xia Mei was suddenly idle.

The restaurant is closed, Liangcheng and Yongcheng are barely open, and when Liang and Hou Zhantian look at it, there will be nothing to do, just go once in a while, and the rest will be fine.

The crops in the field were well handled by Wu Song before, and now that it is almost the harvest season, Xia Mei prepared the farm tools and slowly stayed at home and waited for the time to come.

Idle at home and bored, Xia Mei began to toss again.

It can't be helped, if she doesn't do something, she will be cranky, and then she is afraid that she will drive herself crazy.

How can she toss? It's nothing more than eating.

That's the only thing she's capable of.

When she was idle that day, walking on the ridge and looking at the wheat in the field, she couldn't help but think that her two hundred acres of land had been empty after being shaved with potatoes, should she plant it again?

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this idea was a good idea, after all, if the war did not spread here, this person would live. If you live, you have to eat, and in the villages where the labor force has left, I am afraid that there will be no food to eat.

If you can plant potatoes now, you should be able to solve a lot of problems.

So she told the rest of the people about this idea, Wen Xi and Liu Quan were silent, Yun Ni pondered for a moment and said, "Sister Xia Mei...... I have an idea, and I don't know whether to say it or not. ”

"What? You say! ”

Seeing everyone looking over, Yun Ni cleared her throat and said: "Sister Xia Mei, Brother Wu Song are at the border pass, fighting to the death, how much food do you say the imperial court can give to the soldiers at the border pass?" Will they be able to eat? ”

Xia Mei was stunned, she really hadn't thought about this question.

was said by Yunni like this, only to find out the severity of the matter.

Previously, due to natural disasters, the imperial court reduced taxes for two years, but who knew that there would be another war, and the treasury would definitely be empty.

No wonder I recently heard that the imperial court was going to collect taxes, presumably for this reason.

But how much food can this people have in their homes? I'm afraid that it will not even be two-thirds of the previous years, and this time I will have to collect taxes again, and I am afraid that I will have to live a hard life again.

Yunni continued: "Sister Xia Mei, you also know that if Da Yu can quickly resolve this battle and succeed in defeating the Qianguo, then Da Yu will definitely suffer. ”

"Even Brother Wu Song and these soldiers, I'm afraid they will lose six or seven out of ten on the battlefield!"

Xia Mei's heart jumped, and she frowned and sighed: "It's all because Dayu has no grain and grass at the moment!" ”

The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. However, when the Qianguo was sick and weak, where was there still grain and grass? It's nice to be able to persevere.

"But, Yunni, do you think...... How much of a role can potatoes make? ”

Yunni chuckled, "Sister Xia Mei, how much of a role it can play, how can you not know?" ”

Xia Mei was silent, sighing in her heart. yes, of course she does. Yunni also knew that the potato planting process was simple, and a potato could grow three or four nests of potatoes, each of which was a dozen, which was unprecedented in ancient times.

If potatoes were grown all over the country......

Pursing her lips slightly, Xia Mei's eyes were clear, "Well, you're right, we should also make a difference!" (To be continued.) )>
