Chapter 254: Famine

Sure enough, Lao Xiao led her to the back mountain, she remembered that there were many bamboos on this mountain, which meant that this mountain was relatively shady, but she didn't expect that people would find a sunny slope, and all the sauce jars were stacked here, bathed in the sun.

"Okay, this place is hidden, the sun is abundant, and the sauce is too good, I suggest that even if the situation is stable, this place can also be used as a yard."

"I think the same way, you see, there are rocks in both places here, and there are cliffs on one side, and I will build a gate here, which can prevent both beasts and people."

Man Qing looked at the terrain, it was really ingenious here, so he asked Ah Shuang to take the silver to him,

"This is a hundred taels, you hire someone to build it as soon as possible, I think it is quite spacious under this rock, there are two caves in the back, our people have moved here, even if there is a fight outside, the pass over there is well guarded, but one person should be closed, and ten thousand people will not open it."

"Hehe, this silver ticket Lao Xiao is welcome, I want to use it to buy food and keep it, Miss is right, anyway, our people don't make senseless sacrifices."

He was heartbroken by the imperial court, fighting for the emperor, and his life after being disabled was extremely difficult, if it weren't for Situ Xiu, it would be difficult to even have food and clothing.

"You don't have to buy food, I brought a lot of it, and in a few days, I will send someone to Sujia Village and bring it back directly." Now when I go out to buy food, I can't buy good food, not to mention the price, and the price is also very expensive.

When Lao Xiao heard this, he was overjoyed, the eldest lady is arrogant, if she can say this, food must be indispensable.

He hurriedly stuffed the silver ticket back to Ah Shuang, if he didn't need to buy food, he would have done all this work, so where would he need to hire someone?

Manqing didn't argue with him, and went back to discuss with the village chief,

"If you can't hold it here, you can take people to Sujia Village, I found a big cave in the back mountain, it's no problem to accommodate hundreds of people, the entrance of the cave is also very hidden, it's difficult to be found with a little cover-up."

"Miss, don't worry, according to your original arrangement, the large army can't stop it, and the small group of enemies can't attack it." Man Qing saw that he was full of confidence, so he left some medicine for the wound, and the master and servant went to the guest room to rest.

The two closed the door and returned to the space, Ah Shuang is now a cultivator, as long as the girl is fine, she will go to the stream to meditate, and even Bao Dai began to complain,

"Master, Ah Shuang is too boring, I still want to talk to her more, look at her, she entered the state as soon as she came in, you can't say a few more words, are you having fun outside?"

"There's really nothing fun to do lately, although it's not to the extent of famine, but the fields are all bare, and I'm afraid I won't be able to produce food this year."

"Don't we have a golden flower? Can't you go and sprinkle some? "The land of the space is now taken care of by them, and it will be born from time to time.

"Second sister, are you really stupid or fake and naΓ―ve, what is lacking in people's fields is water, what is the matter with Guan Jinhua?"

Bao Mei pouted, she couldn't waste it, how precious the golden flower was, wouldn't it be good to keep the elixir? Why waste it, Man Qing looked at them bickering and sighed,

"Xiaomei is right, the main problem now is the lack of water, without water, it is useless to sprinkle anything."

"This water is in the hands of the Dragon King, but if it is so dry, it must be the lower realm that has created evil, hmph, the way of heaven will punish you, master, you can't go too far, it's okay to save your loved ones, if the range is large, you will definitely be punished."

Bao Cong was afraid that she would be confused, Manqing had already thought about this matter, she was not a bad person, and only her own people wanted to be protected.

After gossiping for a while, Manqing went to cultivate, and she also understood more and more that her own strength is strong, since she has embarked on this road, let's go on well, half-heartedly, in the end, it will only harm herself.

Recently, the sense of qi has become stronger and stronger, and the time taken for a week has been shortened by half compared to the beginning, but Bao Cong said that it is still too long, at this rate, if you want to make the five spiritual roots reach the Great Perfection, it will take at least more than a hundred years.

But if you don't upgrade, your lifespan is no different from that of ordinary people, this is a euphemistic reminder, you can't upgrade until you die?

When she didn't know where to go, she came to her and told her that the place where they were retreating had more aura than by the stream, and asked her to try it too.

"Yes, there seems to be more wood aura." This night, she has been sitting next to her, and the wood spirit root has increased significantly, and it seems that she feels good.

Early the next morning, they set off for Fucheng, and when she arrived at the barracks, King Ding was stunned when she saw it.

"Minghui? What are you doing here? Got news of Xiu'er? ”

"No, I haven't heard from him yet, I'm here specifically for you."

"Looking for me? Yes, Su Yunlai's hometown is in the Northland, and your grandfather called you here? The north is not very peaceful, mainly because it is too dry, our spies came back and said that the grass in the grassland has died, so the northern desert is not only out of food, but also more than half of the livestock, and famine is a matter of time. ”

"We are not much better here, I have come all the way, the seedlings in the field can not return to green at all, this season's grain is ruined, if it doesn't rain again, the second half of the year will be hanging."

"You're right, this matter has been reported to the imperial court, but it has been sent for almost a month, and there has been no response at all.

"If the wheat can't turn green, after the weather is warmer, you have to find a way to plant some corn, only that is more drought-resistant, but in the absence of water, farming needs more young and middle-aged people, and now they are all running south, how can the old, weak, sick and disabled be left?"

"Minghui is right, the current situation can't be chaotic, it must be stabilized, the situation in the Northern Desert is not spread except for a few of us, and I don't know why, every time there is new news, the city is full of wind and rain."

What else but leaks? She unceremoniously told King Ding, hoping that he would catch the traitor as soon as possible.

"I still want to ask, tell me if you can say it, and if you can't say it, just because I didn't ask."

"Do you want to ask about conscription? That's right, the emperor has this plan, if we rely on the existing forces, we will lose. ”

"What about the rations? Did the court give you enough? If you want to buy food, I can help. ”

She has a lot of food in the space, and if she uses money to buy it, even if she can't cheat, the army has food, and she also gets silver.

"The court's salary has not yet arrived, your food must be kept for me, and as soon as the salary arrives, I will send it to you immediately."

King Ding listened to Manqing's words, he was really happy, he had already sent someone to the market to ask, even if he bought it with silver, there was not so much food on the market, and there was no movement in the court, and people could afford it, but these stomachs couldn't afford to wait.

"You don't have to worry, this batch of grain will be given to you at a parity price, although I can't help in the war, but the logistics here can still make some efforts."

No matter how many things she does, she really can't help, although she is not restricted by the Heavenly Dao now, but if she meddles too much, she will also attract attention.
