The villagers were still very simple, as long as they received the rice, the next day, the sky was still bright and they rushed to the foot of the Black Mountain.

However, everyone was carrying wooden sticks in their hands, and those who didn't know thought they were here to attack the cottage.

And the big tiger even brought the big iron fork with him, which was the year before last when they beat a tiger, and he sold the tiger skin to buy it.

When Qin Yu learned about it, he was also overjoyed, and quickly dressed with the help of the mother and daughter, and led people to the foot of the mountain.

"Folks, don't be nervous, I am the owner of this cottage, surnamed Qin, you can call me the owner of Qin in the future.

The work of the cottage is very simple, that is, to build a stone wall on the mountainside that is two zhang high and one zhang wide, about fifteen zhang long, the porridge has been boiled on it, everyone will go up the mountain with me now to drink porridge, work after drinking the porridge, and finish work before sunset. ”

For these people, Qin Yu naturally would not say that he was the leader of the anti-thieves, otherwise he was afraid that if it was not for them, he would immediately scare them away.

More than fifty men, you look at me, I look at you, no one wants to move first, and in the end, it was the big tiger who took the lead, carrying an iron fork and walking towards the mountain, and the rest followed.

"Spring Peach..."

"Big... Brother Tiger, Brother Monkey, Third Uncle..."

When the villagers of Liujia Village saw several women boiling porridge on the mountainside, they were all surprised.

"Chun Tao, it turns out that you were caught by the black tiger on the mountain, hateful, I should have thought of this a long time ago."

The big tiger slammed his fist into the mound of earth in remorse, his teeth gurgling, and the others were equally distressed.

Two years ago, Chun Tao and the other two disappeared when they went up the mountain to chop firewood, they all thought that they were taken away by a big insect, who would have thought that they were caught by bandits on the mountain.

"Chun Tao, my Nizi?

"And what about my spring flowers?"

"Fourth Uncle, Sixth Uncle, Sister Chunhua and Nizi are no longer there..."Chun Tao sobbed as she spoke.

Two middle-aged men in their forties also burst into tears when they heard this, and more than 50 people were sad.

"Chun Tao, come back with us!"

"Brother Big Tiger, I don't want to go back, Childe and Mrs. treated us very well, and Childe rescued us in the first place..."

Chun Tao shook her head, and then explained to them.

Although the people in the village are all her relatives, her mother is gone when she was a child, and her father is gone two years ago, so she doesn't want to go back and be embarrassed.

When everyone saw that she refused to go back, and heard her say that she was doing well now, they didn't bother anymore, but their impression of these little thieves was much better.

Qin Yu had been watching this scene from the sidelines, and did not interject, the reason why he called Chun Tao and the others out was to dispel the suspicions of these villagers.

After drinking the porridge, Qin Yu first drew the foundation in front of the wooden village about ten zhang, and let half of the people level the ground and half of the people to carry the stones.

There are many rocks on the mountainside, the big one is several tons high, and the small ones are hundreds of catties and dozens of catties.

Cement Qin Yu only knew that it was fired with clay and lime, but he didn't know how to burn it.

There is no limestone on the mountain, so it is too troublesome to buy it, and the legendary glutinous rice juice is used as a binder, which will be struck by lightning, so you have to use clay and straw to cut the stones.

The people of Liujia Village only worked for less than half an hour, and more than 100 people from the other two villages, Huangjia Village and Wangjia Village, also came.

At noon, it was really two fist-sized steamed buns per person, although the vegetable soup did not have oil and water, but it was enough, which made more than 100 people full of energy, and no one dared to be lazy.

Looking at this scene, Qin Yu was a little satisfied, although these people are all yellow and thin, as long as they will be raised for two or three months, they are all good seedlings who are soldiers and hold knives.

"Childe, it's time to drink the medicine."

As soon as he returned to the room, Mrs. Li walked in with a bowl of black medicinal soup, and Qin Yu's brows immediately furrowed.

"Madam, I really can't drink this medicine, and I don't know if it works, the injury has been much stronger these days, I don't think I need to drink it!"

"Childe, don't talk nonsense, good medicine is bitter, come, open your mouth..."

Mrs. Li shook a spoonful and blew it twice before handing it to his lips and smiling.

Qin Yu had also drunk traditional Chinese medicine in his previous life, but he didn't know if the medicinal power in his previous life had degraded or what, and he was not as bitter as he is now.

"Son, bear with me, tomorrow the concubine will go to the county seat, and buy some brown sugar by the way, it will taste much better."

"I'll do it myself."

If there are other things, she feeds them spoonful by spoonful, which is naturally enjoyable, but this Chinese medicine is simply torture, so she snatches the bowl and pinchs her nose, which is a fierce pour, and the long pain is better than the short pain.

"Childe is really extraordinary, you need to know that you have to endure hardships in order to become a master, with Childe's heart, he can't do anything if he doesn't want to..."

Mrs. Li took the bowl and praised it, but she didn't forget to take the opportunity to secretly teach some benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and the like, the size can be described as quite wonderful, obviously someone has a clear temperament.

……

On the second day, more people came, more than 500 men and women combined, and even some old and weak people came to join in the fun.

For these people, Qin Yu won't ask for it, and he won't have anything to eat when he comes, as for sending rice, he doesn't have to think about it.

After explaining, he and Xiao Xinru set off for Nanzhang County again, this time not only bringing five teenagers, but also picking five people from the working men, each with a tael of silver.

Among them is the man Liu Hu, who has a tiger's back and a bear's waist.

With a squeeze of his fist, it was really the size of a baby's head, and he was holding a hundred-pound sack in one hand, and he was still walking like a fly, which made Qin Yu secretly surprised.

Nanzhang County is far away from Heishanzhai, if you go directly to the south of Heishi Town, there are only more than 50 miles, you can take the mountain road to the east, and Shangguan Road goes south, it is almost more than 70 miles.

However, in order to avoid Blackstone Town, he had to choose a long detour.

The group took only two mules and horses, and set out early in the morning, hurried and hurried, and finally entered the city at the moment when the city gate was closed.

After a day's journey, everyone was very tired, especially Xiao Xinru, so they hurriedly found an inn and rested after eating.

In this era, scholars are really popular, and ordinary people have to check when they enter the city, but Xiao Xinru only lost a piece of broken silver, and the uncles at the city gate sent it away with a smile.

The shopkeeper of the shop in the city was also very polite, just one morning, he bought two hundred pieces of cotton cloth, five hundred catties of cotton, one hundred catties of salt, some chickens and pigs, brown sugar, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, tea, etc.

As for the sulfur, it was all bought up, and it was only about fifty catties.

The last time I bought grain, I spent almost a thousand taels of silver, and this time I spent two thousand taels of silver and hired ten carts, mainly because cotton was too expensive and occupied a large area.

But Qin Yu felt that this cotton cloth was far from enough.

Because not only did he make padded jackets, cotton pants, quilts, and cotton shoes, but he also wanted to make a set of cotton armor for each of the teenagers.

"Childe, you can't buy it again, we have already attracted attention, and if you buy it again, it may attract the attention of the county order, and then you will say that you can't go to the county government again, so let's come again next time!"

Xiao Xinru saw that Qin Yu was going to buy again, so she hurriedly persuaded that if she bought it again, she would buy all the cotton and cotton cloth.

"Oh well! Get out of town now, just in time for the three-way intersection in the evening. ”

Qin Yu had no choice but to nod, he didn't want Xiao Xinru to be called to the county office to drink tea by the county order, so he explained to Qin Feng: "Qin Feng, give me a clever point this time, do you know?" Don't be beaten again, and let this leader save you. ”

"Rest assured, chief, in less than three days, I will definitely cure the small flowers in the city to be obedient!" Qin Feng patted his chest and reassured.

"Well, not only in the city, but also in the nearby orphans, they will also be gathered and sent to Montenegro when the time comes, what we lack now is manpower."

Qin Yu nodded, and after a while, he led the convoy towards the city gate.

This time, he not only kept Qin Feng, but also left two teenagers as assistants, who would be responsible for finding out all the news that was unfavorable to them in the future, and recruiting people by the way.

Because after several major battles, the original 325 teenagers have already lost 105 people, and the casualties are as high as one-third.

This was extremely terrifying in ancient times, and these teenagers followed him to Huguang to live a good life to find their mother-in-law, not to send them to death.

This is also the reason why he did not dare to use the sword again, but chose to use the money to risk buying food supplies.

The teenagers' ability to bear has reached the limit, and it's good to win, but if they lose, I'm afraid that they will be disheartened immediately, so they urgently need to replenish new sources of troops and live a stable life first.
