Chapter Eighty-Six: The Little Short Legs Walked Faster
These people felt that praying to the spirits for the sake of this merit would bless their merchant ships with good sailing, even if not believers in their hearts would do the same, even if it was just to seek psychological comfort.
What's more, before the mission was announced to Yunzhou Mansion, the people in several prefectures and cities in the upper reaches of the Yonghe River generally received such orders, but they had not had any useful information for more than half a year.
The only thing that can be confirmed is that none of the bodies recovered in those sections of the river match the characteristics of the person they are looking for, which makes the people above question that there are too few people who go out to explore, so they announce the mission of Yunzhou Mansion and more than a dozen other state capitals along the coast to find people together.
It's just that the possibility of a weak girl and a sick child falling from a hundred-zhang high cliff to the Yonghe River is too low, so low that when everyone receives the mission, they don't believe that these two people are alive, so when they are searching, they hold the method of exploring the dead, and still follow the old method to explore along the Yonghe River, and generally find nothing.
Now that Zhang Niniuyu said this, Zheng Rin felt that the direction they were looking for was really wrong.
"Oh, Brother Zheng, my brother is just talking, you don't have to be serious." Zhang Niniuyu saw that Zheng Rin actually believed nonsense, and generously stopped what he might say next: "Even the people above think that those two people are dead, even if we say that they are alive, they will not trust, and they think that we are looking for words to slack off." β
Zheng Rin looked at Zhang Niuyu and said seriously: "I can't find it at the mercy, it's better to find it in a different way, and there can be an unexpected harvest?" β
Seeing that his close friend said this, Zhang Niuyu was not easy to object, so he thought about it and said: "Let's calculate this matter, at least we have to keep up with the head, otherwise it will be true that the person is still alive as you said, and with a few of us, we have to find the Year of the Monkey and the Moon!" β
Zheng Rin had this intention and said, "Okay, I'll hand over this speculation tonight, and we'll stay here for the time being until the new instructions from above come down." β
"Well, as you say." Zhang Niniuyu has no suggestions, and he is not at the mercy of this time.
Dabao and monkeys are also not suggested, these days looking for someone is extremely tired, just can have a good rest, will not delay the back of the matter.

Guo Mianmian, who was far away in Lijia Village, didn't know that a death escape that he wrote and directed was about to be exposed, or by the man who was his porridge and would become his fiancΓ©.
No, it is impossible to debunk it with words, she and Kun Kun are not exposed for a day, and if they are not found for a day, her plan to escape is a success.
In the vast sea of people, it is not easier to find two big living people than to find two bodies in the Yonghe, not to mention that on the way back, Guo Mianmian deliberately wiped the marks along the road, unless someone questioned her and Kunkun's bodies, and deliberately gathered evidence to confirm that they were the people who were found.
On this day, Guo Lin went to Benxinzhai to send flowers and sauce back, so he burned his eyebrows and found mm who was nesting in the room to make clothes, do you want to say about the body, the clothes sewn in mm's hand understand that it is a men's cotton clothes, and suddenly said with a touched face: "Ye'er, you know that the second brother has no cotton clothes to wear, and you secretly made a new one for the second brother, you are so good to the second brother." β
Guo Mianmian didn't raise his head, and gave a critical blow in one sentence: "Second brother, you think too much, this is what I made for Boss Zheng, you want cotton clothes to go to the second sister-in-law." β
Guo Lin almost took out a mouthful of old blood, and said accusingly: "Ye'er, the kid surnamed Zheng is nothing, my second brother of your in-laws, are you so fortunate to be like this?" β
Guo Mianmian raised his head and replied with a smile: "This is what my mother told me, my mother wants to make a cotton dress for Boss Zheng in person, but my mother's eyes are a little uncomfortable in the past few days and I will do it. β
", I told my mother a long time ago that there was no cotton clothes to wear, and let my mother tear the cloth to make a body for me, but I didn't expect her old man to do it for an outsider and not do it for me, am I really her own child?" In just a few breaths, Guo Lin received a double critical blow, and for the first time felt the deep malice from his relatives.
"Poof, second brother, you can rest assured that you are all born to your mother." Guo Mianmian couldn't help laughing, but she felt a little sympathetic to the second brother in her heart.
Guo Lin looked at mm, and said lovelessly: "Yes, I am born to my mother, it's a pity, it's not as good as a guy who came out halfway and only understood it for a few months." β
Guo Mianmian laughed again, and after laughing, he didn't want to listen to the second brother play treasure anymore, so he put down the needle and thread and asked, "Does the second brother have a body and want to talk to me about something?" β
Being prompted by this, Guo Lin remembered the matter for a while, so he said: "Today, I went to Benxinzhai to send flower sauce, and the leader of Fang was also in the shop, saying that several sellers from Shuo Fang had taken a fancy to the flower sauce and wanted to find us to do this business, so they asked about our family's flower garden. β
Guo Mianmian was a little unexpected, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect someone to ask so soon, I also hope that when the flower garden grows flowers, our family's flower sauce will be passed to the county seat by the leaders of the party!" β
Guo Lin was also very happy, rubbed his hands and said, "Then do we have to find someone to plan to pioneer?" There is no work in the field, friends are idle at home and moldy, and the grass in the field is about to freeze to death, and this is the right time to pioneer. β
Guo Mianmian said: "It's been found, your father and boss will find someone when you go to the town, and the day of the pioneer has also been set, and it will be the next day." β
Guo Lin didn't know about this, and after hearing it, he became more and more happy: "Okay, okay, if you block the land early, you can fatten the ground early and plant it in the spring of the next year, I really can't wait to be able to pick flowers and make sauce in the second half of the next year, and sell our flower sauce to Fucheng and the capital." β
When Guo Mianmian heard this, he also longed for it, and said truthfully: "Second brother, it will take at least a year for the flowers in the flower garden to be picked to make sauce, and we can only hire people to pick wild flowers in the mountains in the coming year. β
"Well, the second brother is also talking about it, and it will be better to have a better life for our family in the coming year." Guo Lin naturally knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, but he still felt happy, and his inner expectations were stronger.
The development of wasteland is a big deal for the Guo family, and it is also a big deal for the villagers in Lijia Village who are idle at home and urgently need to do something to earn some money for oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
After setting the date of pioneering, the Guo family basically set the person they were looking for. The yardstick is not based on the closest relatives of the stakeholders, but the group of people who can endure hardships and hardships. In this way, even if someone has a suggestion, it is impossible to say that the Guo family is not intentional enough.
This time, the Guo family found a total of thirty people. Among these thirty people, some are brothers, and some are father and son, and when Guo Laoshi and Guo Shu's father and son came to the door, they were all overjoyed, and in turn mentioned good things to the father and son.
No wonder these villagers are like this, in addition to farming and raising pigs, the way for the villagers to make money is to go to the river to fish or go to the mountains after the rain to collect mushrooms, and then sell them in the market. If you have a good fate, you can get a hundred and ten at a time, and a bad fate is not enough to improve your own food.
Now that it is a poor winter, there is no production in the field, there are no fungi on the mountain, and there is no way to go into the water to fish, and the small batch of scattered work that can be found in the town has been snatched away early.
What's more, the wages given by the Guo family are not low, and the average price of casual workers in the town is 20 yuan a day. You know, helping someone else's family in the village is usually paid two pennies less than in the town. Don't look at these two pennies, it's 60 wen a month, and you can buy more than two catties of good pork.
, Different from the previous workshop, this time the Guo family does not have to cook for these thirty people, they will handle three meals a day at home, and they will leave half a time for dinner and rest at noon, so the Guo family has also saved a lot of things.
The next day, the villagers who had had breakfast arrived at Guo's house early with the tools of pioneering, and then were taken to the wasteland by the Guo family father and son, and the first thing was to liquidate the dead grass and branches and other flammable materials around the wasteland, so as to save the time of arson, the flames rushed to the village along the wind, burning other people's houses or firewood stacks.
Several women of the Guo family were not idle, they went into battle with machetes and sickles, cut the withered thatch, tied it up with straw ropes, and carried it home, which was used as a fire.
A few children couldn't stay at home, and ran to the wasteland one by one, so even Kunkun also had fun with the pioneering, and as the brothers and sisters ran in the wasteland, they didn't care whether the new cotton clothes and shoes they had just put on would be stained with the soil.
"Wow, Brother Huan, come on, come on, there's a nest of wild eggs here!" Suddenly, the hill generously pointed to a lush bush and shouted.
The cry of the hill instantly confused Guo Guo, and they immediately spread their feet and quickly ran towards the hill. Xiao Jiang even raised his eyebrows and asked, "Xiaoshan, are there many wild eggs?" Is it enough for us to burn and eat? β
When he heard his little brother's words, he thought that wild eggs were just like the eggs he usually eats, and it was a funny thing to notice eggs in the wild, so he temporarily let go of the weeds and walked towards his little brother.
"Enough, enough, there's a litter, too many, I can't count them." Hearing his brother's words, Xiaoshan squatted down and touched the wild eggs one by one to count, and when he counted "nine", he was stuck, and he didn't know how to continue counting.
Xiao Jiang knew his brother's counting skills too well, and when he saw his brother say this, he immediately smiled: "More than nine, that's enough, maybe you can eat two." Thinking of the sweet intention of burning eggs, Xiao Jiang, who had just eaten breakfast, suddenly felt that he was hungry again.
Guo Guo and Guo Zao, the two little ladies, were no better, and when they heard Xiao Jiang say this, they swallowed their saliva in unison, and the fat little short legs wrapped in cotton clothes walked faster.
