In this robbery, not many people died, but most of the grain and property of the whole village were robbed, although there were still some soybeans, corn and other grains in the field, but the output was very low, and it was impossible to survive the long cold winter after paying the autumn tax.

Soon, news came that Sima Li Liang of Wuwei County had established himself as the king of Xiliang, and was fighting against Xue Ju's rebels, prohibiting all grain and grass trading, otherwise it would be regarded as an enemy, which meant that even if he had money, he could not buy food now.

Chen Dalang went to Liujiazhai, where the scourge of soldiers and bandits was even more serious, because he did not prepare in advance, not only did he rob all the food, but also killed many people.

Liu Boqin was not at home because he went to the mountains to hunt, and his wife was fine, but there was nothing left at home that could be eaten, and all of them were robbed.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, the particles are returned to the warehouse, but unfortunately there is no happy scene in the past, more than ten acres of mountainous land of the Chen family, after paying taxes, only two hundred catties of soybeans and more than three hundred catties of corn are left, and it is a fool's dream to feed a large family.

What's even more troublesome is that without wheat seeds, the fields will be abandoned, and there will be no more harvest for most of the next six months.

There was not enough food to eat, so they could only find ways from other aspects, so the young people of Changshou Village went out to hunt collectively every day, and the father and daughter, old and young, went out to dig wild vegetables.

The seed problem must always be solved, otherwise what to eat in the coming year?

Qingshi Town has been plagued, and Liangzhou City has banned grain trading, and it is necessary to go further away to buy seeds.

A few people from the village were sent out, and they all came back in just a few days, because there was war everywhere, and it was not peaceful everywhere, and there was no food to buy within a radius of several hundred miles.

If you can't grow wheat, you have to plant something else, and radish and white cabbage are considered seasonal vegetables, but the problem is that they can't be eaten as food.

Chen Jiping knows how to get a greenhouse, but unfortunately he doesn't have that condition.

There are already people in the village who are ready to be homeless people who want to eat, and there is no way, staying in the mountain village will either starve to death or freeze to death.

An autumn rain and a steep drop in temperature in the mountain village make people's hearts even more chilly.

As an elder in the village, Chen Laohan went from house to house, and sighed when he returned home.

"Ah Weng, do you want to find a way to find a monkey?" Chen Jiping said that he already had a plan in his heart, but as a teenager less than ten years old, it was inconvenient to say some things directly.

The old man's dim eyes shone with the brilliance of hope, "San Lang, you just go and ask the monkey well!" ”

"Well, I promised to build a shed for the monkey, can you ask the craftsman to get a bigger bamboo cage?"

"This is easy to do, what do you say?"

Chen Jiping drew a frame on the ground, and the old man immediately understood.

Chen Erya didn't hide all the grain, but hid wine and salt, and the next day, he fried a spicy chicken without chili peppers, brought two catties of wine, and let Lao Hei carry an open bamboo cage to the Five Elements Mountain.

"Hey, I don't have anything to teach you, and you're still here?"

"If the teacher can't teach the apprentice, can't the apprentice visit the teacher?"

Sun Wukong was stunned, "You're right, you're right, one day as a teacher, a lifetime as a teacher~"

"I didn't worship you as a teacher!" Chen Jiping took out the wine and food.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter if you worship or not, anyway, you learned something from me, even if you are my disciple!" The monkey's mood seemed to improve, and he tasted the food first, and then picked up the wine and poured it violently.

"You save some drink, and there will be no wine for you right away!"

"What's wrong?"

Chen Jiping told about the war and bandits outside.

"You're so stupid, you still cringe when dealing with a hundred or ten mortals~"

"Don't talk on your stomach without backache, they have weapons, bows and arrows, and I'm not a thousand enemies!"

"If it's my grandson, I'll beat them all away with a stick!"

"Let's talk about it when you get out of here!" Chen Jiping took off the bamboo cage from Lao Hei's body and put a cover on the monkey's head, the size was just right, and he could see the scenery when he opened the door, and he could block the wind and snow when he closed it.

Sun Wukong stopped drinking, his eyes suddenly moistened, and for a long time, "Whatever you want to learn, I will teach you everything I can teach!" ”

Chen Jiping smiled secretly in his heart, what kind of temperament is a monkey, which is vividly expressed in the Journey to the West, that is, he eats soft and not hard, and he can't stand the favor of others, Tang Seng saved him, although he can't tolerate the other party's verbose and pedantry, he still loyally protects his experience to the end, and the Western Religion, Taoism and Heaven chose him to be Tang Seng's bodyguard, which is also a fancy to this.

"No, when you develop in the future, don't forget me!"

Sure enough, the more he was like this, the monkey felt that the previous suspicion was very undeserved, "Your cultivation is too weak to learn advanced methods, I will teach you the vajra mantra and palm thunder self-defense, which was stolen from Sanmao Zhenjun, it is not easy to spread the word, if you are recognized, don't say that I taught you!" ”

"I'll save it!"

The palm thunder method and the vajra mantra attack and defend, the latter is similar to the defensive effect of that jade pendant, and the difficulty of cultivation is similar to that of flying sand and stones, and he barely got started in the evening.

"You have to practice diligently, you haven't made any progress in cultivating for so long!"

Chen Jiping said in his heart I can compare with you, the peach let you eat it all over again, and the elixir is eaten as jelly beans, but he even claims to be.

"I'm leaving, I'm going to leave soon, I'm going to raise things for the winter in the near future, so I can't come to see you often!"

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, come back when you're free!"

When he got home, Chen Laohan was already looking forward to it, "What did the monkey say, is there a way?" ”

"The Divine Monkey has taught me some methods, as long as I do what he says, it will be no problem to survive until next spring!"

"How?"

"Plant all the fields with turnips and white wattles!"

The old man frowned, "Radishes and white woads can't be eaten as food, and they will be broken when it's cold!" ”

"How to store, the monkey has taught me, although I can't eat it as a meal, but there is a way to eat a full stomach!"

"Okay, just listen to you, there's no other way anyway!"

The news that Chen Jia Saburo was a disciple of the Divine Monkey had been spread all over the world, and the killing of the leader of the bandits was proof of this, and they were willing to listen to his command when they heard that he had a way to let everyone survive the famine.

The whole village began to plant radishes and cabbage, and Liu Boqin came to walk around, and when he heard about this, he also went back to plant radishes and cabbage.

In terms of vegetable seeds, Chen Jiping asked his second uncle Chen Yuanli to lead a group of people to buy soybeans everywhere.

In this era, people have not yet recognized the benefits of soybeans, and there are only three ways to eat them: one is to grind them into bean noodles, the other is to boil them, and the other is to make tofu.

No one in the mountain village knows how to make tofu, whether it is bean noodles, or boiled and eaten, it tastes bad, and it is easy to bloate and fart, so beans are not popular.

Chen Yuanli and his entourage brought wild game and silver money, but they could not exchange it for other grains, but they could always exchange it for some beans.

Seeing the mountains of beans, the villagers became worried about whether it was worth exchanging the game for the beans.

Faced with the doubts of the villagers, Chen Jiping ignored them, and when he was proficient in the cultivation of the palm thunder method and the vajra mantra, he went to Qingshi Town again and found a stonemason and a blacksmith to order some utensils respectively.

Chen Laohan couldn't stand these people's nonsense, "You are disgusted, the beans can be sold to our Chen family, and the silver money will be given to you!" ”

A few families who planned to go out to beg for a living couldn't withstand the temptation, so they sold beans to the Chen family, and the family had thousands of catties of beans at once......
