Chapter 183: Working Together

It was already too late to send Ding Zhutou out of the door after dinner, and it happened that Daqiang hurried back, and when he saw Ling'er, he was reprimanded angrily, as if he was her own big brother.

Ling'er was not angry, but her heart was warm, she apologized with a smile, and the family sat together and had a reunion dinner. After the meal, Ling'er comforted the old lady and quietly beckoned Da Qiang, Shuangniang, Ning Shu and Ten Sisters to her room.

Daqiang was still a little angry: "You girl is not small, look at what you have done?" Do you know what the outside has passed on to you, how will you marry in the future? Alas, what a ......"

Da Qiang looked like he hated iron and steel, and Ning Shu said: "Brother Da Qiang, don't blame Sister Ling'er, she is also for her godfather, you don't know, the doctor said that the godfather will not live for half a month at most." ”

"What?!" Daqiang, Shuangniang, and Tenth Sister all looked surprised, and Shuangniang frowned and said, "Ning Shu, what nonsense are you talking about?" Didn't the doctor say that as long as you have a good life, you can slowly get better? ”

Ning Shu squinted at Ling'er, and Ling'er said, "Don't worry, I'll explain." ”

Everyone bowed their heads and fell silent after listening to Ling'er's words, the tenth sister sobbed quietly, and Ling'er touched the tenth sister's head: "Ten sisters, don't cry, I have found a thousand-year-old ginseng, and my father will definitely be fine." ”

"Really!" Everyone looked at Ling'er blankly.

Ling'er nodded: "It's true, but this business is a bit risky, and we have to do it together." ”

Da Qiang was dissatisfied: "Ling'er, although we have not been in this house for a long time, but the godfather and godmother are willing to take us in and are so good to us, I have long believed that they are my reborn parents, and the godfather's business is not your business alone, say it quickly." How? ”

"In that case, listen up, only a few of us know about this matter, and only we can do it, and we can't tell anyone, not even my father."

Everyone looked at each other and nodded their heads in agreement. Thereupon. Ling'er told her plan again. She planned to clear the secret passage starting tomorrow, and then make two wheelbarrows, and the few of them would personally carry a thousand stones of grain into the mountain.

There was a slight silence for a few people. Shuangniang hesitated: "Ling'er, it doesn't matter if we work hard, but thousands of stones of grain are tens of thousands of catties, and there is no carriage." With manpower alone, there are only a few of us. It will be shipped in two days...... Will it work? ”

Ning Shu also said: "Ten sisters don't have the strength, just a few of us, one trip to transport ten stones, a thousand stones to go a hundred times." There are only two days to go, and you have to be careful not to be discovered by outsiders. How easy is that? Sister Ling'er, why don't you let the people who ask for food carry it themselves? ”

"If you can. I told them a long time ago. But once this road is hidden, I don't want outsiders to know; Second, if the news leaks out, our family will be convicted of colluding with bandits, and our whole family will be doomed at that time.

Besides, with this secret passage in hand, the bandits have asked me, not only can we do business with them, even if the officers and soldiers withdraw in the future, they will not attack our family when they go down the mountain, do you think? ”

Several people were silent for a while, and Da Qiang gritted his teeth and said: "Ling'er is reasonable, even if we don't sleep for two days and two nights, we can always finish it, Shuangniang, it's hard for you!" ”

Shuangniang blushed a little: "Brother Qiang, don't say that, I'm used to doing rough work in my mother's house, and it's nothing to make a little effort." ”

After agreeing on the agreement, they each went back to the house and had a good night's rest. Early the next morning, Ling'er summoned all the maids at home, gave each of them a tael of silver, and sent them home to rest for three or five days.

After everyone dispersed, Ling'er took Daqiang, Shuangniang and Ning Shu to clean up the previous path, and the tenth sister stayed at the intersection to watch the wind. The entrance to the path was in a thorn forest, no one had entered it all the year round, and it had been tightly covered by thorn bushes, and it took several people to work together to clear a narrow path and cover it up at the entrance.

The forest is also very difficult to walk, not to mention the light is not good, and there are a lot of small saplings, Ling'er according to the memory, and everyone should cut and cut, until late at night, it is barely completed. They didn't dare to light the torches, so they only made small lanterns and pressed them low and groped slowly.

When they returned home, they were so exhausted that they fell asleep after eating.

The next day, before dawn, a few people gnawed two mouthfuls of dry food and started to work again, Ling'er had great strength, it was no problem to push ten packs of grain at a time, but it was not good to grasp the balance, Daqiang pushed five packs at a time, Shuangniang and Ning Shu pushed five packs together, several people stopped and stopped, and the first trip actually walked for two hours.

The grain was sent into the mountain, and it was still piled up in the place where Ling'er stacked the firewood five years ago, and it was covered with thorns, and then several people staggered to ensure that every once in a while, people would go into the mountain to ensure that the grain was not lost.

The front is harder, and although the physical strength is poorer in the back, I have mastered the skills and walked the road, and I am still fast to transport. In the whole day, they had already transported 200 bales of grain into the mountains.

Ning Shu sat on the ground, unbuttoned his clothes and flicked his sleeves and fanned directly, and said with some uneven breath: "No, Sister Ling'er, it's only less than half, I don't have the strength anymore, or ...... Go and talk to the man and ask him for a few days, and we will not give him a few days. ”

Ling'er was also too tired, "It's okay, but let's transport it first, how much we can transport, and then tell them if it's really not good." It's been a tiring day, let's go back to wash and sleep, don't say that my mother has leaked her mouth! ”

Everyone dispersed, Ling'er couldn't sleep in bed after eating, she thought of her father's illness and her heart was tight, the doctor said that his body could drag on for half a month at most, if there was a ......

Ling'er sat up with a hula, forget it, let's go to work, at least it feels more down-to-earth. She dragged the cart to the warehouse, and found that someone was carrying grain there, she was startled, took a stick and prepared to commit the murder, and saw through the moonlight that it was the two of them.

Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief, her heart was warm, and she said softly: "Brother Da Qiang, why are you here without rest?" ”

Daqiang and the others were startled, patted their chests and said, "I'm scared to death, Ling'er, why are you here?" ”

"Just like you, work!" Several people looked at each other and smiled, and then went to work, as soon as they came out of the warehouse, Ning Shu and the tenth sister stood at the door with a lantern, and the tenth sister smiled and said: "I knew that you would come over secretly, I can't help, let's light the way for you." ”

Ning Shu wanted to help, but Daqiang didn't allow it, Shuangniang said: "I'll be fine with your brother, you help Ling'er." ”

Ling'er naturally wouldn't let him interfere, his little strength was dispensable for himself, Ning Shu blushed a little, he stood in place for a while, trotted a few steps to follow: "Brother Daqiang, Sister Ling'er, I must be admitted to the top in the future, become a big official, and let you enjoy happiness when the time comes." ”

Daqiang smiled: "Okay, you can be admitted early, so that you can find a good in-law for your sister Ling'er and sister ten." ”

Ling'er stuck out her tongue: "If I have to wait until then, won't I become an old girl?" Ning Shu, you better find a good lady for yourself, the tenth sister's Ruyi Langjun has also gotten rid of you! A few people talked and laughed, and they didn't seem so tired to walk.

The group was busy until the evening of the next day, and finally finished the last trip, and everyone was so tired that they fell on the grain pile and gasped regardless of their image.

"Cuckoo Cuckoo~~~~Cuckoo Cuckoo~~~~" There was a bird's sound in the woods, and the tenth sister looked curiously, and Ling'er jumped up suddenly: "It's just in time, everyone get up, Daddy's ginseng has arrived." (To be continued)
