44 Three years have passed in the blink of an eye

The rain rained for seven days and seven nights, and if it weren't for the continuous raising of stones and straw bales along the banks of Linjia Village in Ruishui River, almost half of the entire village would have been flooded. After the rain stopped, the temperature plummeted, and there was a sudden frost! Now the villagers are anxious: can't the rice be planted? What should I do if the temperature is too low and I freeze to death? After three days of discussion, the village chief still made a decision: a small amount of rice, and the rest is to plant sweet potatoes!

Mu Fushu went to the valley immediately after the rain stopped, but saw that although the valley was muddy, the medicine fields and rice fields were not damaged at all. It turns out that the terrain here is very strange: the other side with the lake is the lowest, and all the rain flows into the lake. Mu Fushu once again sighed at the miracle of the creator and his own protagonist aura.

The temperature plummeted, and more and more people fell ill in the village. Mu Fushu knew that it was the flu caused by the sudden drop in temperature.

She found a recipe in the book, picked herbs in the valley and boiled a large pot, and placed it in front of the Mu family for the whole village to use. Yamashita slaves also prepared herbs for them to prevent.

For a while, the villagers were once again moved by the kindness of the Mu family, and the cohesion of the whole village rose again. Many people in Linjia Village even began to envy the house slaves bought by the Mu family, because they did not have to worry about food and clothing, and the master family was kind.

People in this era are not ashamed to sell themselves as slaves, if the master's family is strong, the house slaves will be glamorous when they go out.

After this strange thunderstorm, there were no other casualties in Linjia Village except for Li Dani and the idler who were struck by lightning. As for whether they starved to death or were wounded and died without medical treatment, no one cared.

After the frost, the villagers planted sweet potato seedlings, which this time took a little longer, and were harvested in March of the following year. After that, rice seeds were planted.

This year, however, the weather was the same as last year, and there was no rain. The water source of the Ruishui River is quite sufficient, and there are waterwheels, and the villagers are self-sufficient with sweet potatoes mixed with some rice.

Outside, it's still the same all year round to recruit soldiers and food. It was probably because of the sweet potatoes that Mengyang City did not fall into famine, and the battle never started.

Mu Fushu guessed that the year was not good, and the food was only enough to eat, but there was not enough military food. The king of Shu will not be ruthless to squeeze the people of Shu, after all, this is his fiefdom and his "land of prosperity". When the day gets better or worse, the battle can be fought.

This kind of dry weather lasted for three years, Yang Weng and Mu Zhongjun were not heard from, and the people of Linjia Village relied on sweet potatoes to survive these three years, and no one in the village starved to death.

San Lang has grown very quickly in the past three years, and the seventeen-year-old boy has a height of almost one meter eight, although he is still thin. The continuous training of martial arts made him look very thin and muscular. He reads with Ah Zhu every morning, and then practices with domestic slaves with Lotus Ye. In the afternoon, I was busy with chores. There was no man in the family, and he picked up the entire Mu family on his shoulders.

Mu Fushu has also grown up a lot, probably because of the effect of space water, her skin is getting better and better, and her height is already more than one meter six. The delicate little face is brighter.

Tianyi Villa gradually has a scale, the herbs planted have gradually become a climate, rice can be harvested twice a year, and some soybeans and sesame seeds are also planted in the middle, and Mu Fushu is used to extract oil. Houses were built in the valley one after another, and five warehouses were erected, all of which were full of grain.

The middle-aged man of the Mu family was trained by Mu Fushu. Hasuha and Saburo became male and female coaches respectively, and some young and strong women also participated. In addition to their work, they also learn martial arts and practice riding and archery every day. The Mu family had fifty or sixty horses one after another, barely able to put together a cavalry team.

Mu Fushu only hopes that she can have some strength to protect herself when there is a real war, and she will not use the space until she has to.

Mengyang City has been able to enter and exit freely, because of the continuous evasion of conscription and food, the people of Linjia Village dare not enter the city. Mu Fushu's furniture store was also closed, but fortunately, many shops in Mengyang City were closed, and no one paid special attention to them.

Because there are fewer shops in the city, some daily groceries are more expensive. Fortunately, Mu Fushu and San Lang were both bold and careful, and organized a caravan with trained house slaves, and transported the soy sauce, vinegar, sugar and other seasonings they brewed to sell elsewhere. When he returned, he changed horses, ploughed cattle and daily necessities and returned to the village.

The people in the village didn't dare to go out, so Mu Fushu took out some of the daily necessities brought back by the caravan and opened a small haberdashery store in the factory.

Three years passed with trepidation. At the end of October, after a heavy rainstorm like usual, it began to snow.

The village chief convened a meeting of the whole village, and asked those who did not have a kang to quickly make a kang, and those who had a kang cut more wood and hoarded firewood. Years of experience told him that this day is really going to change, and after three years of drought, maybe there will be a big cold in the future.

Mu Zhongjun and Yang Weng's silent messenger made the entire Mu family lifeless, and even Ah Zhu grew up and calmed down a lot.

This year, the family's original more than 200 acres of land and the newly reclaimed more than 300 acres were all planted with sweet potatoes, and the house slaves were asked to hurry up the mountain to cut firewood, and by the way, they went down to catch some prey in preparation for this winter.

The house slaves are all refugees, and they have experienced a lot, and they finally settled down for three years. This year, the timing is not right, and I can see it.

People who have experienced hunger and cold have a strong desire and desire for food, and Mu Fushu also knows their psychology, and the big pot of rice has long stopped.

Now the houses of the house slaves are very strong, with a civil structure, and the houses are all made of kangs. After the harvest every year, the grain is distributed to each family according to the population, not only sweet potatoes, but also some brown rice and dried vegetable seasonings, etc., and she does not want the prey that she catches in the mountains.

It's just that the firewood still has to be cut by them, Mu Fushu tried to make his own charcoal two years ago, and every winter he gave them some charcoal, plus the fire kang, and he was not very sad in winter.

The first snow fell for three days, and three days later the snow was already down to the calves. Because no one in the village went out, and no one knew what was going on outside, only the Mu family's lookout post still sent people to stick to it every day, and the people of Linjia Village had already begun to eat cats.

The second snow falls just as the first snow is about to melt. It rained like a full five days, and after the snow stopped, it was no longer up to the knees, and the Lin family and the old Lin family only sighed calmly at home, scolding that it was because of Emperor Qi Huan's usurpation that he was punished by God, and there was no good year for more than three years.

The mother and daughter of the Lin family are both loyal and generous people, they think like this, maybe everyone in the world has such a meaning, after all, the north is worse than the south, and it has been a drought for more than six years......

After feeding that night, San Lang and Ah Zhu read a book on the kang in the hall, Mu Fushu accompanied the increasingly silent Lin embroidery, and the old Lin and the lotus leaf were also alongside.

Suddenly, there was a low roar from Nini outside. Normally, Nini doesn't make a sound, and it seems that something big is happening.

When Mu Fushu and San Lang arrived at the door, Nini walked in and hooked Mu Fushu's padded jacket with her right forehand, and then turned to look in the direction outside the village. Mu Fushu's face changed, Nini meant that there were outsiders coming at the entrance of the village!

The Lin family and the old Lin family also heard the sound, and the lotus leaf also put on a padded jacket and hurried over. Mu Fushu persuaded the Lin family and the old Lin family to go back, nodded to the lotus leaf, and motioned for her to follow him and San Lang. The three of them wore cotton jackets made of duck down and goose down, and thick woolen socks on their feet, so they didn't feel cold at all when they walked in the snow.

Nini and Xiaoxin have been inseparable for the past three years. Xiaoxin, who has drunk too much space water, is also getting smarter and smarter.

The frightening wind and thunder have also grown up, and they are about the same size as Nini, probably because they have been raised in the crowd since childhood, without the wildness of Nini and Xiaoxin, they seem to be cold, and they are more human than Nini and Xiaoxin. I get along very well with Saburo and Ah Zhu.

Nini was back to inform them. When the group followed it to the entrance of the village, Xiaoxin also greeted it and bumped into Nini affectionately. Mu Fu couldn't look at them crookedly, and walked briskly under the tree with a lookout post at the entrance of the village. When I got to the tree, I quickly climbed up, the white miserable moonlight reflected the reflection of the snow, and I saw a group of people walking slowly in the snow from the opposite direction of Mengyang City, about five hundred meters away from Linjia Village, and it seemed that there were quite a lot of people.

In the past three years, the officers and soldiers have not been to Linjia Village, and the village chief has long since removed the lookout post, and only Mu Fushu still insisted. Nini and Xiaoxin came to walk around from time to time at night, but I didn't expect someone to really come tonight.

San Lang also followed Mu Fushu up the tree, and the lotus leaves looked up with his neck below. Saburo was careful, pointed to the messy footprints on the snow at the entrance of the original village and said, "It looks like they have passed through here once and returned." ”

Mu Fushu also saw the messy footprints in the snow, coming from the direction of Mengyang City, stopping at the entrance of the village, about to find the entrance and walking forward for a while, and now returning again.

Before they could react, the large group of people slowly walked to the entrance of the village, and San Lang suddenly shouted: "Uncle! Then he slid down the tree. Luckily he was wearing gloves, otherwise his hand would have been cut.

Mu Fushu also saw clearly, it was indeed Yang Weng who was at the forefront!

Because the road that originally went out of the village was blocked, it was impossible to get out here. San Lang had already made a detour to the new road out of the village, Mu Fushu suppressed his excitement and shouted from the tree to the bottom: "Sir, don't worry, Brother San Lang is going to pick you up." ”

Yang Weng raised his head, although he didn't see where Mu Fushu was hiding, his face showed a happy smile, and he said with a smile of "hehe": "I thought I was wrong, but I thought it was the eldest mother's idea again!" ”

After saying that, he walked to the middle of the team and said a few words to a tightly wrapped person, who slowly stepped forward with his support, and at this time Saburo also arrived, and led them to the village.

Mu Fu sparsed down the tree, and Lotus Ye helped her pat the snow on her head and body, and praised her repeatedly: "Auntie climbed so fast!" ”

The lotus leaf was only learned in the past two years, and the climb was not very neat.

Mu Fushu knew that aristocratic women could learn boxing and kicking, but they couldn't climb trees, water or something. In the past three years, Daddy Lianye has not been found, and their mother and daughter have been staying in the Mu family. After a long time, the Lin family no longer rejected the Lu family, and sometimes sat with her to sit and talk about needlework.

Mu Fushu waved his hand: "You just rarely climb." It's been as fast as I am for a long time. I'll teach you how to swim when I'm free, and I'll dive in one go, and I'll be fine for a quarter of an hour! ”

Although it is a bit exaggerated, Mu Fushu has space, and he enters the space immediately after entering the water, and there is no problem for a day and a night.
