The manpower is found, and the rest of the things are very simple, as the saying goes, money can make the ghost grind, the words are not coarse, at this time there are more things to do with money, not to mention farming, even if you sell your life.

According to the salary of 20 yuan a day, help grow potatoes, these aunts are all from the village, and they can be regarded as knowing the roots, and they asked the village chief to recommend them, and their character is guaranteed, and they will not do tricks.

Now there are some women, children, old and young in the village, who have no way to make a living, and finally there is a guy who makes money, of course he has to catch it, many people rush to come, or Yunni controls it, and only a dozen people are picked in each village.

Ready for manpower, Xia Mei soon began to deliver seeds and start planting potatoes.

Each piece of potato can be divided into three pieces, and new sprouts will grow in the cross-section, becoming a new nest of potatoes. It can be said that this is the first time I have seen such a simple and high-yield plant, and it is not much better than soybeans.

At this time, many people found out that the things sold in Qingshan Town were very expensive, and they were planted like this, and many people secretly moved their minds, but they didn't dare to act rashly because there were people guarding the ground.

Xia Mei didn't know that although Qin Zhihan was gone, the protection of Tianji Pavilion had never been evacuated from Qingshan Town, and now it was surrounding Dashan Village, always paying attention to the movements of Xia Mei's family.

She can't work now, and many things can only make Wen Xi and Yunni run, Liu Quan is clever and has been running errands. Not long after she started planting potatoes, Xinghua came to the door and told Xia Mei that she also wanted to go out for a walk with Yunni, afraid that Yunni was small and some things would not be taken to heart.

Xia Mei groaned and asked, "Sister Su, can you agree?" ”

Xinghua nodded and smiled: "Naturally, my mother-in-law asked me to help Sister Yunni well, which can be regarded as relieving your worries for my sister." ”

Xia Mei responded with a smile, "In this case, you can be with Yunni, I'm also quite worried." I'm inconvenient at the moment, Yunni and Wenxi are too young after all, I'm afraid they will suffer. If there is you, Mrs. Sima of Zhongzhou, no one will dare to provoke you. ”

Xinghua's face turned red, and she glared at Xia Mei, "Sister Xia Mei!" In normal times, this title would have to suppress many people, but now ......" sighed slightly, Xinghua's face was bitter, "Everyone is in danger, the deterrent power of officials is much smaller, and I am just a false shelf." ”

pulled her comforting clapped hands: "Don't think like this, Xinghua, no matter what, you are the wife of the dignified Sima, this Dayu is fine!" As soon as the law is built, no one will dare to offend you one day! ”

Xinghua's face was slightly gloomy, and she sighed faintly and stopped talking.

With Xinghua, Wen Xi can stay at home and take good care of Xia Mei, although she is the manager of the restaurant, but Yunni is more calm, and Yunni is much more experienced in dealing with these unreasonable villagers, Wen Xi feels that he is not doing well, so he takes care of his master with peace of mind.

The old chicken soup that had been boiling for several hours was served to Xia Mei, and the oil foam on it was skimmed off and kept for Tang Bao's bibimbap. Since he knew that his mother had a little brother in his belly, Tang Bao seemed to have grown up a lot, and he knew that he would give it to his younger brother, and put away the things he liked, and keep them to share with his younger brother, so that Xia Mei was soft-hearted, so she hugged him into her arms and kissed him fiercely.

After thinking about it, Xia Mei felt that it would be better to wait for the child in her belly to be born before suing Wu Song. If there are no children, Wu Song must have regrets in his heart, and a regret is also a desire to survive at a critical time. Xia Mei didn't dare to gamble, so she could only carefully maintain her self-righteous hopes.

What's more, Xia Mei hopes to surprise him. Of course, she actually had more uneasiness in her heart. What if something happens to you...... If this child can't be saved, wouldn't Wu Song be even more sad and lost? So it's better not to talk about it for the time being.

Who knows what the war will be, who knows if it will be displaced in the future, the future is uncertain, how dare she draw a happy look for Wu Song?

For now, the plan is to support Dayu to win this war as much as possible. As for the cause of the war, it is no longer important, the most important thing is the outcome.

…………

Hongcheng used to be a very prosperous city.

In the name of macro, it is its magnificent architectural style and atmospheric regional people, most of the people are informal, casual life. It is precisely because of this that the relaxed and simple pace of life attracts many people to settle down, so it slowly prosperes.

"In the past, around the corner, there was an old man who juggled, and his monkey was so likable, I couldn't enjoy watching it every time."

On the street of Hongcheng, two soldiers walked by with each other, their armor stained with blood, and one of them had half of his hand broken, wrapped in bloodstained gauze.

The other man limped slightly, and the man with the severed hand supported him with his only hand, and slowly walked through the empty and deserted street.

The face of the severed hand was mixed with black mud and bloodstains, and he couldn't see his original face clearly, only a pair of black eyes flashed with vicissitudes, and his mouth was hoarse and nostalgic for Hongcheng in his memory.

The lame man's face was numb, his eyes flickered, he lowered his head and did not speak, and the two walked slowly to the place where the wounded soldier rested, and there was no more speech on the way.

The dilapidated streets, the scattered luggage, and the occasional breeze can bring a touch of coolness—sadness from the bottom of my heart.

Hongcheng is the three cities they experienced. The Dragon City and Yangguan City in front were lost, and the losses were extremely heavy, and the people who came back were two-out of ten.

The soldiers who went through these two battles became numb. Anyone who sees his partner who used to laugh with him has his head cut off with a knife, and when the warm blood is sprinkled on his face, what flashes is the time when they laughed together in the past, and their hearts will inevitably collapse.

No matter how innocent a person is, he will grow up under the bath of blood, especially the blood of his companions, if he is not firm in his heart, he will die on the spot. Those who survived were accustomed to seeing life and death, and they were not surprised by this.

In the Hongcheng General's Mansion, all the generals sat in the hall to discuss matters, and the armor on their bodies had not yet been removed, and they still carried the bloody atmosphere of the enemy, which made the atmosphere of the hall more solemn.

Xuanyuan Jing sat in the first place, his face as calm as water.

"His Royal Highness King Jing, the difference between the strength of our army and the enemy is too great, the casualties in the first two battles are too heavy, although the two cities have been recaptured, but the soldiers are already the last ...... of the strong crossbow"

"Yes," the other general continued, "Who knew that Helian Xuanyi of that Qianguo was so despicable that he gave up the two cities over there and immediately rushed to Hongcheng. It's ...... to hurt such a city."

The general couldn't go on anymore, choked in his throat, and sighed faintly.

They will never forget what they saw that day.

Hongcheng in the impression of the people, is casual, free and easy, the people are mostly easy-going, if the royal city is a delicate and fast-paced life, the life of Hongcheng is free and uninhibited, and the spontaneous is the characteristic of Hongcheng people.

It is such a city, in the eyes of everyone, when facing a strong enemy attacking the city, it gives everyone an incredible answer.

Everyone in the world thinks that when Hongcheng people face a choice between life and death, they will definitely abandon a qiē and leave a way for themselves. Including the generals under King Jing all thought so. So when they learned that Helian Xuanyi turned his head to attack Hongcheng, their faces turned pale.

- The generals of Hongcheng may abandon the city and flee directly!

As soon as they thought of this possibility, everyone was in a hurry and hurried over. But at that time, it was a hundred miles away, and it took a day and a night to get there. The defenders of Hongcheng were only 5,000, and the Qian** team at that time was 30,000!

With such a huge disparity, every general was desperate in his heart, and his heart was very complicated on the way to the rescue. I hope that Hongcheng will not be lost, and I hope that the people can evacuate safely.

When he arrived with such a nervous mood, the bloody aura of Hongcheng had already spread to ten miles outside the city.

The leader suddenly had no blood on his face, and when he desperately arrived with people, what he saw was a scene that made a seven-foot man burst into tears!

I saw that outside Hongcheng, there were corpses in the endless distance, and the corpses piled up into a hill erupted with a bloody aura that rushed to the sky, and it seemed that a mist had formed above Hongcheng.

The city gate has been broken, and a gap has been opened, and the battle flag belonging to Dayu on the city wall is full of holes, and even the arrows inserted on it can be seen when it is opened.

Everywhere you look, you don't see a living person! Whether it is the 30,000 troops of Qianguo or the thousands of people in Hongcheng! A huge city, as if it has become a dead city!

The general's body shook and he almost didn't stand still, "Come on...... It's late......"

"Report! Checkmate! There are still living people in the city, and it seems that the last wave of city citizens are fighting to the death against the people of Qianguo! ”

When the general heard this, his face was shocked, and he hurriedly rushed in with his soldiers and horses without stopping, and when he arrived at the city lord's mansion, he saw the end of the battle. It is better to say that it is a battle, than a one-sided massacre.

Along the way, the streets were littered with the corpses of Qianguo people, but more of them were unarmed Hongcheng people. Oh, no, it's not unarmed, they have more or less one or two weapons around them, as long as it's iron, it's probably their weapons.

There was no time to grieve, and the generals quickly wiped out the last wave of Qianguo, and at this time, those who were holding on to Hongcheng showed their true colors.

Nearly two-thirds of the people were holding the big knives that had been snatched from the hands of the soldiers of the Qianguo, which were stained with the blood of the enemy, and their eyes were dull, and it took a while to realize that the enemy was dead, and it was all over.

These people are all the people living in Hongcheng.

Ordering his men to appease the people first, the general grabbed the man in the soldier's uniform and asked eagerly, "What about your general?" What about your lieutenants? ”

The little soldier finally recovered from the fight, his eyes were still a little dull, and when he heard the general's question, the long sword in his hand fell to the ground, covering his face and crying helplessly: "Dead...... All dead...... The general and the general of the Qianguo Kingdom died together, and the deputy general also sacrificed in order to protect the women and children...... All dead...... It's just us......"

“……”

Everyone present was silent, and it took a long time for suppressed cries to be exchanged for suppressed cries, and those people, leaving their big knives or sickles in their hands, hoes, and running to the corpses of their families.

The pain is extreme, probably because I can't shed tears!

The general only felt that his eyes were dry, and his heart seemed to be pressed against a mountain, and he couldn't breathe. Over the years, he has experienced many large and small wars, but he has never seen such a battle.

Relying only on the 5,000 defenders of the city, and then there are the foundationless people of this Hongcheng, some of them may be preparing for scientific expeditions, and some are ready to sell the goods in their hands and stay at home to retire, or they are immersed in the joy of getting a little grandson.

However, this qiē was shattered.

No matter where you come from, no matter what your status, at this moment, everyone swears to protect their common home.

That's it, stopped the Su family who wanted to speak, Xia Mei said with a straight face: "Uncle Qian, I am the wife of Wu Song of Dashan Village, Xia Mei." The second shopkeeper of Tianfu Restaurant, proficient in cooking. ”

Xia Mei suddenly began to introduce herself, which made Su Shi and Liu Quan confused, but Uncle Qian's face was moved, his face was motionless towards her, affectionate and solemn.

"So, Uncle Qian, as long as it is a peaceful and prosperous world, of course I can protect your grandson to grow up safely. But Uncle Qian, you know what the situation is now, I ...... I'm really not sure. You have to think carefully about whether you want to leave your grandchildren in the hands of someone you don't know. ”

When Uncle Qian heard this, a strange smile slowly rose on his wrinkled face, as if he hadn't laughed for a long time, and his muscles didn't obey the call, and his throat made a sound like a leaky "ho, ho".

Liu Quan was about to have nightmares frightened by this strange expression, and quickly turned his head to hide his feelings.

After a long while, Uncle Qian pulled the child and saluted Xia Mei, Xia Mei was startled, quickly dodged, and helped Uncle Qian up.

"Mrs. Xia, the good karma of so many years has finally been exchanged for a good fruit. God treats me well! ”

sighed at the words, but Xia Mei understood it at once, and was silent.

The world sympathizes with the weak, but forgets that the poor will have something to hate.

When a man is about to die, his words are good. Thinking about this miracle doctor, he also did some wrong things when he was young, so that there was no one who came to collect the corpse, and even his grandson had to be entrusted to strangers.

Anyway, this child is destined for her, and it is okay to take it, anyway, raising Tang Bao is also raising one, and raising two is also raising.

Entrusting this matter, Uncle Qian seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and he no longer had the strength to deal with them, and his face even showed some gray color, Xia Mei was frightened and reluctantly retreated.

Standing outside the door, Xia Mei was still very gloomy, presumably Uncle Qian also knew that he would not live long, and he had relied on this tone to support him for so long, and now that he has entrusted the future, he is afraid that he will ......

Sitting in the car, the mood when I turned around was not so relaxed.

And in Uncle Qian's yard, when they left, the child suddenly asked aloud: "Grandpa, Fan'er can't tell that aunt, is she a little brother in her belly?" ”

Uncle Qian was stunned for a moment, touched the child's head and pondered, "Don't say it, don't mention what you saw to anyone in the future, you know?" ”

Fan'er pouted, he liked that aunt very much, but he still replied obediently: "Fan'er knows." ”

Uncle Qian patted his face soothingly, walked into the kitchen by himself, and groped to start cooking.

…………

The days passed slowly, the news of the border pass came from time to time, at the beginning of the Guizhou State soldiers and horses were like bamboos, and after entering the border of the Great Chongqing State, they quickly captured four cities, which made the people of the Great Chongqing panic.

Then it was suddenly reported that King Jing led 30,000 elite soldiers, won more with less, and took it by surprise, and after three days of hard fighting, he recaptured the two cities in one fell swoop, and the boundary of the border pass was held again.

The people's hearts are settled, and everyone begins to have expectations again.

Although Qingshan Town is remote, the news that should come can still be heard. Liu Quan went to the town from time to time to buy some daily necessities for the family, although at this time the food was expensive, and the price of meat was even more outrageous, but Xia Mei couldn't do without nutrition at the moment, no matter what, she had to eat a meal every two days.

Fortunately, in the past two years, it is no problem to save some savings and save some money.

What's more, Xia Mei decided to continue growing potatoes. More than half of the land has been leased out, and now it is just over the farm, considering the special situation, she can't be ruthless to collect taxes, just let those people look at it and give her a good reputation.

As soon as the grain harvest of this season was completed, Xia Mei decided not to lease the land, but to take it back and start planting potatoes.

Those tenants are not happy, this grain has only been planted for a season, and you take it back, isn't this fooling people? I wanted to make a fuss, but who knew that Li Sheng came forward to communicate with the village chief, and euphemistically hinted that this school was funded by Xia Mei, and the people who teach in the school are also found by her.

If the children in your village still want to continue studying, let the people in your village be reasonable, this person's land, it would be good for you to plant for a season, and only take 10% of the rent, and then you are not afraid of the jokes of the people around you.

So the land was recovered, and Yunni and Li Sheng went out to find some honest people in those villages to prepare to plant potatoes. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the www.biquge.info (qidian.com) of Biquge to vote javascript:void(0);
