Chapter 103 Peasant Boy

She just said, Qingchengzhou is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and it is not Wanghaizhou near the sea, where does it come from to sit at home and watch the sea!

Yingle walked along the river, looking as she walked, only to see a lot of broken and damaged fishing nets scattered on the sand by the river, and the farmland and cottages on both sides of the river were scattered.

There are patches of peach groves everywhere in the village, and it can be seen that this used to be a quiet and peaceful small village, and everyone made a living by fishing and farming, but unfortunately now the fields are barren and the village is depressed, and she has not even seen a figure for a long time.

She wanted to see if the river would enter the sea, and was fooled by Ge Zhongren's words that you could see the sea while sitting in the yard, and Yingle was unwilling.

Originally, she planned that if this manor could lead directly to the sea, she might be able to go back to Baihu Mountain by sea in the future, so that she would not have to go over the mountains and mountains again.

At present, it seems that the people of Gezhong, who can do business, are used to talking nonsense, and in order to sell this grange, they do not hesitate to exaggerate a small river into an ocean.

I don't know how long I have been leaping forward, there is a sound of "moo ......" in Yingle's ears, there is a cow barking, it is ......, and sure enough, she was not disappointed, and a dark-skinned peasant boy soon appeared in her sight, plowing the field with a plow.

"That little brother, what do I want to do with you?" Yingle waved his hand and shouted, but the young man was like a rabbit frightened, hurriedly dropped his farm tools and cattle and ran away, and disappeared in an instant.

What's the matter, could it be that she looks too scary, Yingle touched her face after realizing it, and after touching the scarf on her face, she realized with chagrin that her birthmark was still long, and it was really not good-looking.

Recently, there are a lot of trivial matters, she has been running back and forth, but she has not made the chalcedony liquid into a beauty ointment in time, and now the weather is clear, and when she returns to Baihu Mountain, she will collect all the medicines she needs and make the jade gel cream.

"Grandpa, hurry up, it's too late to leave." The black-faced young man pulled a gray-haired white-bearded old man, panting for breath, after the rebellion, the people in the village ran away, he easily met a girl today, he must leave people behind, and settle down in their peach blossom village in the future.

At this time, Yingle also saw the two people on the other side of the river, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, "Grandpa, little brother, what are you doing in a hurry?" "Parkway

The old man on crutches panted evenly, and then stroked his long beard and said, "Let the girl smile, we are not in a hurry, but we haven't seen outsiders for a long time, and I am so happy to see someone coming." ”

When the rebels came, their village was not spared because it was located on the outskirts of the city, not to mention the food and money, and many villagers lost their lives.

Later, the imperial army came, the two armies fought, the rebel army lacked food and grass, and intensified the search for several nearby villages.

Not long ago, the Qi family army came back and drove away the imperial army, and I don't know when the fight was a head, and no one in the village dared to come back to live.

"The little old man's surname is Weng, and he was the chief of this peach blossom village, I wonder if the girl is interested in settling in our village?" The old man didn't wait for Yingle to speak, so he continued: "Now this Qingchengzhou is under the control of the Qi family's army, the Duke of Qi loves the people like a son, and he is extremely strict with his subordinates, and our village is very safe, and there will be no rebels coming to grab food and kill people at any time as in the past." ”

Being stared at by Grandpa Weng's eager eyes, Yingle couldn't immediately say the words of refusal, "Grandpa doesn't know, my family just bought a nearby grange, and I will live in Zhuangzi in the future, if you are free, you can come over at any time to visit." ”

This is a disguised refusal, the light in the eyes of the old man and the young man is extinguished little by little, and he raised his eyes to look in the direction that the girl pointed, Weng Lichang's vision was blocked by the low mountain, and his heart flashed, and then said: "The girl's family has bought a new grange, it is better to buy some houses and fields in our Peach Blossom Village, and now the price is very fair." ”

As long as your family is willing to stay in Taohua Village and settle down, in order to encourage villagers to return to their hometowns to farm in time, Qingchengzhou has recently issued a new policy, where the villages near Zhoufu are subsidized by capitation.

Grandpa Weng was gracious, Yingle had no shortage of silver, so he simply followed the two back to Peach Blossom Village, walked across the wooden bridge on the river, and then passed through the green peach forest full of fruits, and saw a magnificent blue brick house.

"Girl, come in and sit, Huzi go pour water," beckoned Yingle to sit down, and Weng Lichang also sat at the stone table, "Don't hide it from the girl, the little old man here has failed, when the rebel army came, he failed to protect the people in the village, and the big village with hundreds of families was scattered like this, and I don't know if there are any villagers who can return to their hometowns alive in the future." ”

Tears fell from the old man's eyes, which made Yingle sigh, and any words of comfort seemed pale and powerless when he said it at this time.

The black-faced young man brought tea up, and then entered the stove, and after a while, there was smoke rising in it, Weng Lichang wiped his tears, and said with relief: "The two sons of the family fled with the children and mother-in-law when the rebels came, and I was old and didn't want to leave my hometown, so I insisted on staying and guarding the house." ”
