"Sister Xiaoke, you used to be really a big lady?"

"You said it was in the past, and you don't want to mention it anymore."

"Hey, hey, they're all scattered, chasing people to ask what the past is doing, it's nothing to do, right? Go home and cook. ”

Lu Chen, the deputy village head, suddenly appeared from behind and blasted the surrounding people away, and everyone refused to leave with a smile, clamoring to buy meat.

Qi Ke had something to do, and quickly got out of the bad mood caused by the housekeeper just now, and took the prey brought back by the wolves today and sold it to the villagers in need.

Lu Chen picked a hen pheasant and wanted to stay at home to lay eggs.

"Xiaoke, your wolf pack is really good, better than the hounds, see that there is progress every day, and the things you bring back are all alive, and none of them are dead."

"Wolves eat meat, and those who eat meat are naturally smarter than vegetarians."

"Hey, that's right."

The villagers who had finished buying the meat dispersed one after another, and Lu Chen stayed at the end.

"Uncle Chen, is there anything else?" Qi can see that this frame has something to say.

"Nothing." Lu Chen scratched his head and smiled innocently, "I just want to say that the past is over, you are now a military household of the Bai family's army, and there will be no more bullying and no one will help you." ”

"Okay, I know." Qi Ke smiled and his eyebrows crooked, "Thank you, Uncle Chen." ”

Lu Chen smiled more honestly, full of the kindness of his elders.

"By the way, talk to Uncle Chen."

"Ventilation? You said. ”

"Just now those people were indeed my old servants, I heard the latest news from their mouths, the drought in the north did not ease in this winter last year, there is a chicken song mountain outside the capital, famous for the first-class taste of mountain spring water, the palace and the city officials and nobles must drink the spring water there every day, now the mountain springs are dry, and the people of the capital have begun to flee south."

"Huh? The drought in the capital has come to this point?! Lu Chen was taken aback, "When we passed through the capital on our way south last year, the capital still gave people the feeling that it was okay!" ”

"Without water, no one can live, there will be more and more people fleeing south, Uncle Chen will talk to everyone, pay more attention to the strangers who appear near the village, and don't let people take advantage of the gap to do bad things."

"We're so ...... here"

"No one comes by land, and the waterway is not guaranteed, and the local waterway has always been more important than the land."

"Okay, I'll take care of that." Lu Chen is a northerner, and he can't change his habits for many years, and it takes time for the common sense of life of people in southern water towns to be instilled in his mind and remembered, but he is not slow to react, and Qi Ke understands it as soon as he reminds him.

Qi Ke nodded, she could only remind that exchanging news in a timely manner was to fulfill her duty as a military household.

When Lu Chen raised his leg and wanted to leave, he suddenly stopped again.

"What's wrong? Uncle Chen? ”

"The old servants of your family have reminded me, you have to take care of such a large field by yourself, don't you plan to raise a few slaves? Taking advantage of this disaster year, there will be a lot of people who are willing to sell themselves into slavery. ”

"It's not easy, selling yourself as a slave depends on who you sell it to, they are all lowly and lowly industries, and those who sell themselves as slaves to civilians look down on those who sell themselves to military households."

"What a mess this is."

"A chain lock that looks down on each other."

Qi Ke shrugged, she was very tired of doing so much farm work alone, and it took up a lot of time that she should have cultivated and studied, but it was indeed too risky to raise slaves to work for herself, she had a lot of things that were unseemly, there were slaves around her who got along day and night, and there were other people's eyes everywhere, who knew what should not be seen by someone one day, it was better for her to be at ease by herself now, laptops, steel notebooks, calculators, anything, could be placed in the house at will, if you were a slave, you wouldn't dare to do this, Everything has to be put away well, and it's tiring to think about it.
