"We didn't open the fields."

Ji Qingchen raised his hand to stop Ji Mo's voice, Zhuangtou Qin Tiekou happened to arrive, she nodded to him and said hello, and he didn't make a sound.

She touched Xiao Ruiniang's head and looked around at the figures on all sides, in addition to the Ezo people, the northern Han craftsmen in Zhuangzi all came out of the house, and there were even Khitan people who escaped from the Jin Kingdom.

She hinted at them not to come forward before she looked at Stonenu's gloomy face.

She knew that he was angry that once he opened the field, he would send the Ezo warriors out desperately,

"I went into the mountain today to go to Zhuma Temple, and I didn't expect to meet the Shengfan God Worship Conference, they are not targeting us, and we are not the only ones in the mountain who open the fields in Tangfang-"

She euphemistically hinted that it should be the Fusang mountain people who burned the mountains and opened the fields, and Stonenu was just annoyed for a moment, and at this time he had already figured out the reason for the commotion, his face softened slightly, and he raised his hand to pat her chest and apologize.

Hundreds of Ezo warriors had gathered around him, but they also dispersed at this time.

Under the torch light, Stonenu was very different from when he was in the Ji family's courtyard two years ago.

He wore a short-sleeved fine linen shirt with the hem tucked into his animal skin skirt, leather boots on his feet, and a sheathed iron knife made in the workshop was stuck in his waist, and he also hung the standard medicine bag of the Tang Fang.

The small tin pot tied to the edge of the medicine bag was the steamed alcohol he had refused.

There are also hundreds of Ezo warriors in the Zhuangzi, all of whom have small tin pots tied to their waists, which are filled with disinfectant and killing alcohol, which can be seen to be one by one, and they emit a faint light in the light of the torches on all sides.

Qin Tietou saw her and Stonenu talk clearly. hurriedly came up and asked Ji Qingchen and the others to go into the Zhuangzi to rest together.

Xiao Ruiniang took the corner of Ji Qingchen's clothes, and peeked at Nastoneu walking on the side and talking to the eldest lady.

Xiao Ruiniang saw him in the small courtyard of the Ji family two years ago, and felt that this little man had changed a lot, for example, in the past, he was completely unwilling to communicate with the feuding tribes in Hokkaido, but now he has written a letter every month, and took the initiative to come forward to urge the construction process in the secret harbor for the eldest lady.

He said a few words. Looking back in the direction the horn sounded. Then he snorted heavily, not knowing what he was scolding.

Xiao Ruiniang still didn't understand his Ezo dialect, but Ji Qingchen understood that he was scolding the mountain people of Fusang.

The ritual of worshipping the gods of the living beings resumed. It shows that a new round of bloody battles has started between them and the mountain people of Fuso, in order to compete for the mountains and forests that can be cultivated.

She knows the reason for this round of bloody battles:

Fusang was in civil strife, and Zhuma Temple should have levied an additional batch of grain in addition to the annual grain tax. In addition to burning forests and opening up more land, the mountain people of Fuso have no other way to make their lives go on.

"We're not resting. Ji Mo, you bring more people, and immediately go to the garrison pavilion on the mountain road.

The crossbow arrows and short knives had been removed, and she sat in the grass hall made of wooden planks, discussing the Grange with Ji Mo, Qin Tiekou, and Stonenu. "You tell them to keep guard in the pavilion with enough firearms for the time being, and if the situation is not good, give up all the garrison pavilions. Let them all withdraw to the Grange—"

As she spoke, she looked at Xiao Ruiniang beside her. motioned for her to follow Qin Tiekou's wife to the back.

It's not easy for this kid tonight, and he should go to bed early.

"Go quickly, and I'll rest in a while."

She smiled, although Xiao Ruiniang was uneasy, she also sensibly let go of the corners of her clothes, Qin Tiekou's wife Lao Shi stepped forward to take the child's hand, took her out of the hall door, and walked towards the rows of board houses outside the hall.

"Miss Rui, there is fresh goat's milk in the big kitchen, and it will be sent down the mountain tomorrow, do you want to eat half a cup of hot food before resting?"

Qin Tietou's wife, Lloyd's, is a tall and thin woman with a combed bun.

She has a long horse face, thin eyes, is over forty years old, and has a little ink mole on the left tip, which looks like the blood of the Han people in the northern part of the Central Plains.

Although her appearance is not outstanding at all, because of her neat expression and neat clothes, she is indeed a capable village housewife who is very pleasing to the eye.

When she usually went down the mountain to deliver food and vegetables, she had already seen Ji Ruiniang beside the owner, and knew that the little girl was less than ten years old, but she was the most proud villain in front of the owner of the Tang Fang Ji family, and she felt that the child's expression hid the uneasiness of going up the mountain for the first time, so she led Xiao Ruiniang to the residence, and wanted to arrange her in the board house where the owner lived on the mountain, while smiling and saying some familiar homely gossip to her.

Xiao Rui'er knew that Sister-in-law Lao looked so homely, but in fact, she was not just a housewife.

She wore a blue coarse cloth apron around her waist, stained with some snow-white flour and dust, and had hurried from the kitchen after receiving news that the owner had entered the village.

But this woman's strength in her hands is no less than fifty catties, and she has a good skill in striking iron, I heard that when she has free time, she will go to the workshop to beat his man Qin Tiekou, and by the way, let her two sons open their eyes, let them see that their grandfather's family is also an ancestral handicraft.

Over the years, Huang Qilang has helped Tangfang to take over the northern artisan households, all of whom are from the Yellow River flooding area of the Jin Kingdom, including hundreds of old Liao Khitan people, and their number actually has more than 2,000 people from 426 households.

These people, because they were all skilled farmers in the north, although they had only grown wheat, they were of course easier to learn how to grow rice in the south than the Ezo people.

So most of them were sent to the grange and taught the Ezo people how to farm while learning to grow rice themselves.

As for the craftsmen with the cleanest iron-striking skills among the blacksmiths, the craftsmen who served in the Jin*Machinery Temple among the firearms craftsmen, of course, still stayed in the inner warehouse of the workshop.

The children of the surnames Qin and Lao accounted for a small half of these skilled craftsmen.

"Yes, Mother Lao, the eldest lady also likes to drink a cup of goat's milk, Mother Lao taught me to go to the kitchen to heat a cup to prepare?"

"What Miss Rui said is that not only the food that the eldest lady likes is ready, but tomorrow it is said that San Lang is coming back? We also have the whole sheep he likes to eat......"

They laughed and went, and Ji Qingchen was also relieved.

Ji Mo and Qin Tiekou had finished their discussions, and she came forward to negotiate with Stonenu, and asked Ji Mo to bring the only thirty Zhuang Ding and a hundred Ezo warriors in this village to go out of the village to help the mountain road garrison pavilion.

Her farms are scattered across dozens of farms in the mountains. This village can only be divided into thirty men, but Stonenu lives in this grange all the year round to be in charge of garrisoning, and this place is the closest to the North Mountain Road, so he can immediately mobilize more Ezo warriors.

"If the situation in the garrison pavilion is dangerous, you will flee to the Zhuma Temple, and the slaves of the Gate Guarding Temple at the east corner gate have been arranged by me, and I will let you avoid them-"

She escorted Ji Mo to the hall door. Secretly admonished him. Let him finish the matter and go to the Zhuma Temple to rendezvous, after he nodded and took the order, she reminded,

"Mo Lan is in Pavilion Twelve. If you say it's me, let her prepare to go back to the workshop immediately, and don't let Ji Dalei's stupid fat man accompany her on the adventure-"

Although Ji Mo was a little worried about the attacks of the Shengfan, now I heard her bluntly say that Ji Dalei was a stupid fat man. I couldn't help but laugh.

Xiao Ruiniang's brother Ji Dalei is also a small celebrity in the workshop. He is for Li Molan. Fought with Wan Gensheng no less than dozens of times. The most eye-popping thing is that he actually hated Ji Erlang for Li Molan, and one day he got drunk and ran to the Ji family's courtyard. The one who took off the stripes had to fight with Ji Chenlong.

Unexpectedly, he was unlucky, Ji Chenlong and Ji Chenhu were not there that day, but they were bumping into the eldest lady.

Of course, she was scolded. Kick him out of the yard.

Since then, the workshop has set a rule that "men over the age of five are not allowed to walk without clothes in the workshop". Ji Dalei's joke of being kicked out of the Ji family's courtyard with a bare fart became the biggest talking point of the whole Fang after dinner in one fell swoop.

Ji Mo felt that Ji Dalei was also somewhat capable, but even he couldn't help but wonder in his heart:

How can a well-behaved sister like Ji Ruiniang, who is so delicate and takes three steps to see three steps, actually has a brother like Ji Dalei who is known as one of the three evils in the workshop?

"Don't worry, the eldest lady, he is now in the pavilion, and when he has nothing to do, he also starts to learn the Great Song Formation, so he shouldn't drink and mess around like before."

Ji Mo said a good word for Ji Dalei around the corner, bowed his hand, and turned to the door to gather Zhuang Ding.

Where did Ji Qingchen have the heart to think about whether Ji Dalei had changed his ways and regained his brain, she returned to the hall, took a cloak and put it on, remembered Ji Mo's left hand with two fingers missing, turned around and walked out quickly, and called him.

"Ji Mo."

"Yes, big lady."

He looked surprised, turned around and approached, she told him to be careful, at this critical moment of civil strife in Fusang, try not to have any more wounded in the workshop, let alone die.

If there are too many enemies, it is not a shame for them to flee from the wind.

Of course, Ji Mo smiled and said nothing.

Because he grew up beside Wu Zhu since he was a child, he didn't feel strange to the female owner's mother-in-law and mother-in-law, who didn't quite understand the blood and face of men, as for he also saw that the history books from the Song Dynasty wrote tens of thousands of battlefield battles, he believed that the female owner should understand in his heart that they were even more advanced and retreating on such a battlefield, only death.

Not far away, Stonenu gathered a hundred men who were good at fighting Ezo and walked over.

There was no expression on his face under the torch, he glanced at Ji Qingchen, then looked at Ji Mo, and suddenly asked:

"You and my sister haven't been told yet?"

Ji Qingchen was slightly startled, and looked at Ji Mo with an inquiring eye, Ji Mo has always been calm, at this time, he heard Stonenu mention the marriage between his sister Ainu and him, but he didn't blush, but was a little embarrassed.

Ji Mo looked at her with pleading eyes in his eyes, and did not immediately explain, but said:

"I thought that after the envoy of the country went back, I would tell the eldest lady ......"

Ji Qingchen hadn't heard that Ji Mo and Stonenu's sister Ainu often had some contacts, but listening to the tone of Stonenu's words just now, this was by no means an ordinary relationship, and seeing that he was embarrassed, she also interjected:

"You go first, I still have something to talk to the chief."

Ji Mo hurried away with Zhuang Ding and the Ezo warriors, and Stonenu stood in front of the door of the hall with a wooden frame with his chest crossed, his figure was wide and flat under the weight of the torches, and he was a head and a half taller than her, and looked at her condescendingly, and when he saw that she had re-lifted the crossbow and short knife in her hand when she had taken her cloak just now, he asked:

"What else is going on with you? Didn't you say you wanted to rest? ”

According to the Ezo people's habit of respecting warriors, he didn't want to cross Ji Mo and directly mention his sister's meaning to a "female leader of the Tangfang tribe" like her.

"I'm going to Zhuma Temple soon, Boss Ji is going to Beishan Road, Qin Zhuangtou is in charge of the fields in Zhuangzi, and tonight's garrison still needs the head of the head, you have to worry a lot-"

Hearing her say this, Stonenu frowned, obviously disapproving of her going up the hill now.

But he is not a guest in this Zhuangzi, the master is not the master, some words are not convenient to say more, he pulled out a strange smile from the corner of his lips, and said:

"There are only a dozen or so Zhuang Ding left in this Zhuangzi, just by virtue of them, can they protect you to go to Zhuma Temple?"

"Although they are not as good as the warriors of the Ezo tribe, it is also because they are not familiar with the mountains and forests, otherwise they are not as good as the tribesmen of the head in terms of strength and weapons?"

She couldn't help but laugh and high-fived Lowe's.

Lowe's told her that Xiao Ruiniang had gone to bed, and that with the daughter-in-law in Zhuangzi by her side, she also relieved herself and handed over the crossbow machine and short knife to Lowe's.

She whispered a few times, asking Lowe's to prepare her for the trip up the mountain,

Stonenu watched coldly, looking at her as if she was indeed preparing to go to Zhuma Temple immediately, knowing that she was in a hurry.

Sure enough, she summoned the remaining dozen or so villagers, but what Stonenu didn't expect was that she didn't let them accompany them, but told them to be careful at all times, and prepare to go out of the village to meet the people from the mountain.

"The fang will send someone up the mountain to take me back, don't miss their whistle, in case they are chased by Shengfan, don't forget to pick them up and enter the village."
