Chapter 212: Shuiyun Village
Shuiyun Village, to be precise, is not a village, but a group of mountain people living on the mountain gathered together, thus forming a small town freely at the foot of the mountain.
Shuiyunzhai looks far less big than towns like Qingshan Town, but the overall area around Shuiyunzhai is not small, and there are many people living in the village.
However, it can also be heard from the name Shuiyunzhai that there are many women and few men in this place.
Because of the head of Shuiyunzhai, the Shui family is a family ruled by women.
It is also because of the special nature of the Shui family that Shuiyunzhai is very famous in the entire Yangcheng County.
Zhao Furui and his entourage almost rushed for about two days, taking the official road and the small road, and finally came to the area around Shuiyun Village before the evening of the third day.
found a fairly large open space, and under Zhao Furui's arrangement, everyone stopped directly and set up camp.
Before resting, Zhao Furui said a few words as usual, "Not far ahead, it is the boundary of Shuiyun Village, if you have anything you want to buy or exchange, you can go over and take a look, but the time can't be too late, you have to come back in an hour." ”
Because Shuiyunzhai is different from Qingshan Town, there are no government officials here, and only one family named the Shui family is in charge, so they have a corresponding time limit.
People who are not from Shuiyunzhai must leave within the time.
Moreover, because of the special terrain here, there are many convoys that come and go to rest, so some of the materials in Shuiyun Village are relatively developed, and there are many things that can be bought.
Even if everyone swarms in, they will not be caught.
Thinking that Qingshan Town was restricted before, and Ping'an City did not stay, and now that he can't return to Shuiyun Village, Zhao Furui asked the big guy to take this opportunity to relax and relax.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Furui's voice fell, the surroundings began to be lively.
The old man and the ignorant children were doing well, and some of the young men and women were excited.
I was going to go to Shuiyun Village to shake up.
Zhao Yu also wanted to take a look, but was stopped by the Li family.
"Wait for tomorrow, let's not leave tomorrow morning, but let's go and have a look, for now, you clean up and clean up yourself," Li Shi glanced at Zhao Yu, his eyes were full of disgust, "It's all dirty, what are you playing?" ”
Zhao Yu......
Not only Zhao Yu, but everyone else in the family was also stopped by the Li family.
Anyway, according to Li's words, tomorrow morning is not enough time to go shopping, and for now, everyone will go to the river to fetch water to clean up.
After two days of walking, I didn't have time to clean up, it was really dirty.
Li couldn't help it for a long time.
In this way, Li found a wooden basin for washing, held the iron pot, and took the women and children of the family to the river.
The river is surrounded by a dense and rich forest.
Zhao Yu wanted to solve his problem, so he took Zhao Chunhua and ran into the dense forest to solve his physiological problems.
When it was processed and came out, the iron pot had already been set up by the river.
Her mother and the others were busy pouring water into the iron pot, while her father and the others went to the surrounding jungle to collect dry firewood.
After a while, the fire gradually broke out, and smoke curled around the iron pot.
Taking advantage of the straw mat that he had brought over, he besieged the city in a circle, and Li handed a basin of warm water to Zhao Yu, and Zhao Yu began to wash himself and take a bath according to the previous routine.
I washed my head twice more and it was clean, and then I went to the side to help.
When the children had finished washing, the women washed them all and left the iron pots for the men who came to wash them.
Li led the cleaned people back.
Take out the pots and pans from the bullock cart and start preparing for dinner.
It was at this moment that Li heard a faint noise coming from the front of the convoy.
Zhao Yu squatted aside and was bored, so he ran over to take a look.
After a while, she ran back to tell Li what she had just seen.
"Wearing a striped skirt, it should be someone from Shuiyun Village," Li frowned, and replied, the movements of his hands did not stop, still slamming and chopping the pieces of meat, "Everything is Li Zheng and the patriarch, there are people who are very worried." ”
Sure enough, what Li said was right, the group of people who came over were people from Shuiyunzhai.
There are men and women, and they are all wearing special striped skirts made by Shuiyunzhai, which looks dazzling.
The reason why they came out was also because Shuiyunzhai had just suddenly had a lot of people with fresh faces, and these people were all dressed ...... It is also conceivable that after all, I have been on the road for several days, and I have not had time to clean up.
The guards of the Shui family then told the head of the Shui family directly about the matter, and the head of the family directly sent the housekeeper to check the situation.
After all, these people seem to want to stay in their Shuiyun Village, and the Shui family, as the person in power, always has to ask what these people do, where they are going, and what purpose.
"The family is in difficulty, the food harvest is not in stock, and they come out to beg for a living,"
"There's no way to do it, you can't watch your father and fellow villagers starve to death,"
"Hey, the taxes are too heavy, I can't stand it, so I ran out with people."
After saying several words in a row, Zhao Furui's words directly shocked the people of Shuiyun Village.
"Begging for life? Are you from the north? ”
Among the crowd of people who came from Shuiyun Village, one of them looked at the oldest middle-aged man and spoke.
"That's right, we are from Changle County," Zhao Furui nodded, and there was no concealment between his words, the main reason was that Shuiyunzhai was no longer in the jurisdiction of that prince, and he couldn't control them, so they were not afraid.
"How can you run this way?" The man was still surprised, because in his opinion, although the north was desolate, it would not be so desolate that it could not survive.
"There's no way to do it, and we're also afraid that the taxes will get heavier and heavier, and we won't be able to run out when we get back," Zhao Furui said, explaining to the man the idea that their convoy would stop for a day and a half to repair.
After all, this is the other party's territory, and Zhao Furui doesn't dare to hide it, otherwise, it will not be good to be kicked out.
So what the man asked, as long as Zhao Furui knew and didn't involve any secrets, he was telling the truth.
At the end of the question, the man didn't ask either.
He looked at Zhao Furui, then at the group of people behind him, but finally didn't say anything.
Just warned not to cause bad things in Shuiyun Village, and followed, the man left with a group of people behind him.
Seeing these people leaving, Zhao Furui patted his chest and grinned, no matter what he said, this can be regarded as allowing them to settle here.
Turn around and tell the other people behind you the news, if you want to buy something, if you want to change something, tomorrow morning, don't be nervous.
Zhao Yu told the Li family the news.
Li waved his hand, quickly laid out the straw mat, and served the prepared meal.
"Eat first, finish eating, rest early, don't you want to go in tomorrow and take a look," the Li family always had a way to contain Zhao Yu.
Sure enough, when Li spoke, Zhao Yu didn't say anything, and Ma Yu called someone over for dinner.
After eating and drinking, they left the Liu family to tidy up the dishes and chopsticks and go to the river to wash.
Li took the time to find Zhao Fuxiang and then said something about going to Shuiyunzhai tomorrow.
It's getting hotter and hotter right now, and I don't know how long it will take to catch up on this road.
Li was worried that the temperature difference between day and night would be too large and the ghosts in his family would be sick, so he wanted to go to the pharmacy in Shuiyunzhai to buy more herbs for treating cold and fever for the next day.
Zhao Fuxiang agreed, and at the same time asked Li to buy more salt and come back.
Their family has a lot of meat, because Yuan's father and his family are here, they will always go up the mountain to hunt once in a while, so that the meat is always left behind.
But when it's hot, the raw meat is easy to spoil, and on several occasions, they can only regret throwing away the good raw meat.
Now buy more salt and come back, and when there is still raw meat, you can marinate it with salt, and you can also leave it for a longer time.
Li nodded, and the two discussed for a while, and almost decided what to buy, and then she came back.
It was getting dark, and a beautiful bonfire was lit around the resting place as usual, and from time to time young people of the night vigil wandered around.
Li laid out the futon and drove all the adults and children in the family into the bedding to lie down.
It may be that when I arrived at Shuiyunzhai tonight, I felt more secure than the previous mountain rest, and everyone lay down in the quilt for less than a moment, and fell asleep with a snoring sound.
