Chapter 63: Fresh incense slate burning
Seeing the third sister coming back, Jin Xi hurriedly stepped forward to take the basket in her hand, "Sister, don't go to the field in the future, it's not safe." ”
The Red Turban Army is busy killing people and robbing things in the county seat at this time, and maybe they will enter Luhe Village tomorrow.
"Xi'er, you haven't told your mother for half a day since you came back, why did you go home at this time and bring your husband with you?" Knowing that her son had something to say, Mrs. Zhao was anxious to heat the pot like ants, and it was difficult to sit still.
Combined with the word war disaster he mentioned before, the old mother didn't hear it at all, Jin Xi immediately entered Liyang County with the Red Turban Army, and he was burning and looting everywhere in the county.
As for the fact that the imperial court sent a large army to quell the rebellion and the Xifeng army was defeated and withdrawn, he did not explain in detail, the old lady and the third sister were both from the village, and they didn't care about the affairs of the imperial court, and they said too much, they couldn't understand it, and they were impatient to listen.
"Oh my God, it's really going to be a war, it's going to be at our doorstep, what kind of sin is this, it's a good day, it's a good day, it's going to fight every day?"
Mrs. Zhao slapped her thigh and let out a high-pitched roar, if there is a fight, it will be endless, how can her good son take the exam, and her dream of becoming an old lady will be shattered?
"Mother, the situation is urgent, the rebel army may call at any time, let's pack up our valuables tonight, get up early tomorrow and go into the mountains to take refuge, and then go back to the village to live after avoiding this while."
Seeing that her son had explained a few words and was about to leave for the house, Mrs. Zhao chased after her and asked, "Xi'er, it's getting dark soon, where are you going?" ”
Since it is so dangerous outside, his son should stay at home, and Zhao, who was going to cook a few good dishes to entertain guests, had no intention of cooking at this time.
While the mother and son were talking, the old man Jin carried a hoe into the house, this spring, a drop of rain has not fallen, the field is very dry, the seedlings are going to die, fortunately the son won the show, exempted from the tax on the field, otherwise the tax increase of the court every year is enough to force people to death.
"His father, come and persuade Xi'er, the rebel army will hit the door immediately, let's pack up our things and quickly flee into the mountains to avoid trouble, as well as the eldest child, the second, the third, the fourth, and the two sons-in-law in the neighboring villages, we have to send someone to deliver the letter."
The eldest of the five sons and three daughters of the Jin family went out to study, and there has been no news so far; The second child has no ability, and begs for a living in the field all year round; The third shrewd will plan that the family will do some small business in Liuyang Town, and life is not bad.
In the early years, when the fourth child was poor and couldn't open the pot, he made a door-to-door son-in-law; The eldest daughter and the second daughter married into two different villages next to each other, and they often came back to visit their parents and family during the New Year's holidays.
"Mother, father, the eldest brother and the second brother are easy to say, the third brother's family has sent a message by the way when I returned, and the fourth brother and the two sisters can only let the village chief find a way, and my son will go to the village chief."
The fourth brother and the two elder sisters are in the outer village, if you want to notify people, it is not possible to do it in a moment, tonight he hurried to tell the village chief the news, and then asked the old village chief to find a way to send the news to the nearby village, so that everyone is naturally safe.
Without waiting for Jin Laofa to speak, Jin Xi had already run away without a shadow, and Mrs. Zhao suddenly became nervous, grabbed her wife's arm and said: "Dad, there is a carriage parked outside, otherwise, let the second child send you to the neighboring village overnight, and if you don't send the news to the fourth child and the two daughters' house, I don't worry." ”
The night gradually darkened, Jin Xi came out of the village chief's house, and hurriedly walked to the foot of Cuiyan Mountain, and so on around the bamboo forest, standing outside the familiar blue brick house, but he didn't see the orange candle flame, why is there no one at the sister-in-law's house, stepped forward and patted the door panel a few times, and no one came to open the door for a long time.
There was a "Wangwang" dog barking in the empty courtyard, thinking that the little niece took the risk to save him before, but then returned to the village alone, Jin Xi looked at the towering Xiuyan Mountain in the distance, it was not impossible for Yingle to take her family into the mountain, and her niece was smart and smart, and she was prepared for a rainy day, not without this possibility.
The urgent situation outside the mountain Ying Le didn't know at all, what kind of thrilling Jin Xi experienced during the day, she might be able to imagine, but she was not sure whether the rebellious army would hit the village, so too many groundless conjectures were not necessary.
At this moment, in the Crescent Peak Canyon, the girl is sitting on the grass with her family enjoying a delicious dinner. The first day you move here, it's a good thing to celebrate.
Tonight, Yingle invited everyone to eat slate barbecue, most of the ingredients are local materials, live fish and shrimp, fresh wild vegetables, crisp sweet yams, fragrant mushrooms, in this canyon, they found rich food.
I found a stone slab of suitable thickness from the cave, moved it to the creek and cleaned it, burned it on a dug earthen stove, smeared it with grease brought from home, put the processed fresh ingredients on it, kept tumbling and roasting it thoroughly, and then sprinkled it with the exclusive secret cumin powder brought back from the pharmacy.
