Chapter 190: The Dragon Prince and Guanyin Bodhisattva
【Wednesday's second round!】 Ask for collections, ask for tickets, ask for comments, ask for rewards, and ask for all the support that can inspire crabs! 】
In Xu Wanyun's eyes, this small island called Niudao is simply as beautiful as heaven!
The sky is so blue, the mountains are so green, the grass is so soft, and the trees are so strong; In fact, she may not have realized that whether it is the sky or the mountains, there is no difference between it and Dengzhou, but in her eyes, it is completely two worlds.
No matter how beautiful Dengzhou is, it doesn't belong to her Xu Wanyun, it doesn't belong to the displaced people on both sides of the Shahe River, it is a sad place, a desperate place, and it has only one color: black!
And whether Ushido Island is ugly or not, this belongs to her, belongs to all the displaced people, belongs to hope, belongs to the future, and belongs to a happy place, so in Xu Wanyun's eyes, it is so colorful and picturesque.
They had arrived on Cow Island five days earlier, on April 29; As soon as they landed, Chen Shangren, who stayed behind, gave them a big surprise, in addition to the clothes and food promised to them when they were in Dengzhou, the cowhide tent was the last thing they expected.
A family of three or more will be assigned a separate tent; If you are single, you will share a tent in a group of three; The camps were divided into three main sections, families, single men and single women.
Of course, the scale of the camp for single girls is the largest, and when the tent is set up, the whole camp is filled with all kinds of laughter, Xu Wanyun knows that the sisters are just like herself, rejoicing for a happy life in the future.
In addition to cowhide tents, Chen Shangren also prepared complete living utensils for them: a number of wooden planks for each tent to build three beds, an iron pot, a wooden basin, a toilet, a rice jar, and a pickle jar...... Although Chen Shangren has repeatedly stressed that all these things will be deducted from their wages month by month in the future, this has not affected the ecstatic mood of the displaced people - anyway, the wages are high, and they are still deducted for half a year, how much can they spread out each month? The point is, when these things are in place, the feeling of home is immediately there.
However, Chen Shangren's subsequent series of new rules made the displaced people feel very uncomfortable: first, as soon as they landed on the shore, they were escorted to take a solid bath, which made their hair full of lime smell; After taking a shower and wearing new clothes, I came out to see that the old clothes were all gone, but fortunately, Chen Shangren told them that the clothes did not need to be deducted from their wages, but they were just exchanged for the old ones, and many aunts who picked the door were counted; Not only the clothes, but even the tattered ones that everyone brought with them were carefully examined, but all those that were deemed unsuitable to bring into the camp were singled out and destroyed, of course, the same old ones were exchanged for new ones or deducted wages.
After finally settling down, the group of left-behind people went from tent to tent to say the rules: water must be boiled before drinking; All rubbish must be loaded into a bamboo basket at the entrance of the tent and delivered to a garbage dump outside the camp on a regular basis; Take a shower at least once a week; The toilets are cleaned twice a day, in the morning and in the evening, by the sea outside the camp...... In short, there are a lot of rules and regulations, if you find that there is a violation, it is two words: deduct money!
Others don't know, but Xu Wanyun and her two roommates are extremely supportive of this - as girls, they have long hated the feces and garbage flying all over the banks of the Sand River!
However, the single women's camp is fine, and the other two camps are much less enforced by these rules - this morning, there was a crackling and spanking sound and screams from the single men's camp, and it is said that a sloppy guy was found lying on the edge of the tent for three days in a row, and the people of the escort detachment were holding the baton.
In general, life settled down quickly, and making cigarettes became everyone's main concern.
At the foot of the hill in the south of Ushido, in the stockade where a part of the wall has been built, a large piece of the site has been leveled, the skeletons of the three greenhouses have been erected, and some craftsmen from Fujian are tiling the roof of the shed.
Under the greenhouse, it is no longer as smooth and airy on all sides as before, but surrounded by a wooden wall more than one person high - the light is sufficient and can protect from the wind and rain.
Next to the three greenhouses, two rows of ten large stoves have been built, and Xu Wanyun saw that the two old stoves were taking a large group of novices to light the stoves one by one.
Looking at the green smoke rising and smelling the familiar smell of firewood, Xu Wanyun seemed to have returned to the happy days of the threshing floor - she trembled with excitement when she thought that her future days would be like those days!
After Gongzi Chu went to sea, relying on the wages she saved, she lived a careful life, never did the unspeakable work of the past, and quietly waited for Gongzi Chu's return.
She didn't touch any of the pillar's money, and returned it to him when the pillar returned—she couldn't figure out what the pillar meant by the money it had given her, and instinctively thought it was the same as the fishy men had thrown it to her, so she refused.
It's not that she doesn't need the love and care of men, but she really doesn't dare to expect that there are men who will like her and treat herself sincerely - she doesn't want to find a man who is only interested in her own flesh * body, in that case, it is better not to find it!
"Coax~~"
The cheers around her woke Xu Wanyun from her contemplation, and when she turned her head, with the help of her sisters, Gaiwa's progress had been greatly accelerated, and now, the three greenhouses had been completed!
Everything is ready and ready to start!
Xu Wanyun called all the sisters in her shed into the shed, and began to tell them how to make cigarette rolls and what details to pay attention to - she was the foreman of the No. 1 workshop appointed by Chen Shangren, although she did not know what a workshop was and what a foreman was, but she knew that her duty was to be responsible for everything in this greenhouse.
"Bang~Bang~Bang!"
The gong on the south mountain sounded, and Xu Wanyun, who was upright and energetic, stopped suddenly-the gong sounded on the mountain, which meant that a boat had arrived.
After instructing a few of his subordinates, who were also skilled workers in the threshing floor, Xu Wanyun came out of the shed and met the man named Ling Ming, who only had time to say "Childe is here" to her and hurried towards the harbor in the northeast corner.
Childe is here?
Leaning against the gap in the wooden wall of the half-pulled camp, Xu Wanyun looked to the northeast expectantly.
After a series of false rumors, in the countryside of Dengzhou, this prince of Chu has turned into this image: he is the reincarnation of the crown prince of the Dragon King, with a cornucopia, and he can have as much silver as he wants!
Xu Wanyun was skeptical about this-after all, she was a participant in how fairy grass cigarettes were made, but even if she witnessed the whole process, she couldn't figure out how these worthless tobacco rolls could be sold for a lot of money?
I can't think clearly, but Xu Wanyun would rather believe in another theory, the one that is only popular on both sides of the Sand River: Chu Gongzi is actually Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves suffering, and God sees that these homeless people are living too hard, so he specially sent them to save them.
She was thinking about it, when a group of people walked in the knee-length grass in the center of Ushishima, and the young man with fluttering clothes and a chic and free ride at the head was the Guanyin Bodhisattva in her mind.
At this moment, the Bodhisattva is smiling at her!
