Chapter Ninety-Nine: Migration
"Your Highness, look!"
Since Xiao Si knew that Chen Jinye was the crown prince, he always respectfully called Chen Jinye His Royal Highness, and now Xiao Si and Bai Ju found more than a dozen intact shovels from the blacksmith shop, and immediately showed them to Chen Jinye when Bai Ju came back.
Chen Jinye hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and took a shovel in his hand, although the shovel was soaked in water and a little rusty, it was basically intact and fit the handle very well, after looking at it carefully, Chen Jinye bowed his head slightly.
An old man who was idle on the side saw this scene, so he leaned over and said, "Shovel? It's not something that every household has."
Hongling and Chen Jinye's expressions lit up in unison, "Are there a lot of them?" ”。
"There are a lot of them, the villagers should have them at home, not to mention that there are so many empty houses, there must be a lot, and those who fled will not take them away."
Xiao Si saw that someone had stolen the limelight from him, and asked a little unconvinced: "Hey, why haven't I seen everyone use this often?" ”。
"You little doll will know"
After that, the old man roughly pointed out a few yards to Xiao Si and asked him to see for himself, and Xiao Si did not believe in evil one by one and found that he had indeed found a few more sporadically, and some were even much better than those left in the blacksmith shop.
"Great!"
Hong Ling said happily, there were about twenty or thirty after counting, this time the shovel was enough, seeing that Hong Ling and Chen Jinye saw the same, Bai Ju led Xiao Si to carry all the shovels onto the bald carriage.
"What do you think you need to prepare for this trip?"
Chen Jinye asked Hongling seriously with a slight sideways face, Hongling pondered for a moment and said, "Let's take three more cauldrons."
So Bai Ju followed Hongling's intentions and Xiaosi to move the two pots on the street to the carriage, and everyone found another one from the side and moved it up, Hongling looked at everyone and twisted her eyebrows slightly, and then slowly turned to Chen Jinye and asked, "Lord Wang, do you want to take the fishing tools?" ”。
Chen Jinye was slightly stunned, thinking that he would not ask the people to come back to Xicheng in such a short time, and he would also have to fish in the Xicheng River when the time came, and it was indeed a waste of those tools to stay here.
"Take, little four, you take the villagers to take back the fishing nets and fishing rods, and take back today's fish, if you can't eat it, put it to eat tomorrow."
"Yes"
According to Hongling and Chen Jinye's meaning, Bai Ju and Xiao Si packed up all the things that the craftsmen probably used, and after careful investigation and consideration, they ordered Bai Ju to set off to send the tools to the Xicheng River first.
After Bai Ju drove the carriage out of the city, Chen Jinye turned around and looked at everyone, and saw that everyone was sitting and lying down very calmly, and his heart was also much more stable, and with a relieved smile, he took Hong Ling's hand and planned to go to the side door of the Domain's Mansion.
As soon as everyone saw that Chen Jinye was leaving, they shouted in unison: "His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”。
Chen Jinye turned his head to look at everyone, and saw that everyone seemed to want to speak and stopped, so he raised his eyebrows and asked, "If you have anything, it's better to say it directly."
The old woman who had been squatting for a long time on the side slowly got up and picked up a stick, and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the villagers know that you are tired and need to rest, but... The folks are scared ......".
After listening to the old woman's words, Chen Jinye immediately understood what everyone was worried about, and seeing that the sadness that had finally dispersed between Chen Jinye's eyebrows and eyes gradually became thicker, Hongling tugged at his sleeve and said, "Let's sit here for a while, and wait for Bai Ju to come back."
Hearing Hong Ling say this, the people breathed a sigh of relief, and Chen Jinye also agreed, as Hong Ling sat under the wall on the side, although everyone was full of reverence for Chen Jinye, but they gave Chen Jinye enough space, so no one came up to disturb him since Chen Jinye sat there, even Xiao Si sat far away.
Seeing this scene, Hong Ling secretly poked Chen Jinye and gestured with her eyes, but Chen Jinye was confused and didn't know what she wanted to say, seeing Chen Jinye's suspicious frowning, Hong Ling opened her mouth and whispered: "Didn't you find that since the people knew your identity, they didn't dare to come up and talk to you at will?" ”。
Hearing Hongling say this, Chen Jinye noticed that every time he looked around, the people staggered their eyes as much as possible, and those who accidentally met their eyes hurriedly staggered.
"They, are they afraid of me?" , Chen Jinye frowned slightly and said to himself, "But why are you afraid of me? ”。
Hearing this, Hong Ling smiled slightly, and asked curiously: "I used to hear Xiuxiu say that you went south to study or something, didn't you encounter such a thing when you went on a study tour?"
"I used to hide my identity, and the people I came into contact with didn't know who I was, so no one has ever done this"
After that, before Hongling could say anything, Chen Jinye suddenly murmured: "It turns out that my identity is ......."
"Eh, Lord Wang, I have an idea, I don't know if you're interested"
Seeing the light in Hong Ling's eyes, Chen Jinye's heart also flashed with a hint of excitement, "What's the matter?" ”。
I saw Hong Ling smile evilly and said, "Tonight, how about we go to the kitchen of the palace and steal some raw rice?" ”。
"Raw rice?"
"That's right, you see that the craftsmen and the people haven't eaten rice in a few months, so they must be eager to eat it......"
"Good"
Just when Chen Jinye and Hongling were discussing how to steal rice, Bai Ju drove the carriage back again, and saw that Bai Ju was back, the happiest thing was Hongling and Chen Jinye.
In the evening, the people got busy and skewered the fish from the bucket on the branches of the trees and roasted them by the fire, while the two people in the palace secretly planned to be snitches.
After Chen Jinye and Hongling asked the two maids to prepare a meal early, they sent the two away, and after a few bites, Chen Jinye returned to the dormitory to change into a dark clothes, Hongling washed up a little and then put on her only men's clothes, and the two met in the hall at dusk.
Seeing Hong Ling appear in front of him with the appearance of a man, Chen Jinye was slightly stunned for a moment and burst out laughing, almost not rolling on the ground, but Hong Ling was wondering in her heart, it turned out that she had never appeared in front of him in men's clothes, he was so fussed, and he was also drunk.
After Chen Jinye laughed enough, he slowly straightened his expression, but muttered again, although this Liu Ling'er has some brute strength, if he goes over the wall to the kitchen with him, it will be a little inconvenient after all.
After some entanglement, Chen Jinye finally said the concerns in his heart, and when Hongling heard it, she immediately gave Chen Jinye a roll of the eyes, and then firmly tugged on Chen Jinye's sleeve and didn't say anything or let go, as if she was just relying on it.
Seeing Hongling like this, Chen Jinye smiled dotingly and stepped forward to hug her waist, and then whispered in her ear: "In this case, don't say that this king took advantage of you."
After that, before Hong Ling could refute it, Chen Jinye took her into his arms and jumped up, Hong Ling instinctively wrapped around Chen Jinye tightly, buried her head deep in his chest, and waited for Chen Jinye to stand still on the wall, Hong Ling immediately blushed and broke free from his arms, just about to wave her fist to refute, Chen Jinye hooked the corners of her mouth and grabbed her and jumped again.
Chen Jinye looked down at Hong Ling in his arms, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but open, and the speed of jumping was much slower, every time he stood still, he began to leap again a second before she retorted, so that Hong Ling had to shrink in his arms, although the lovely person in his arms was already on the verge of breaking out, Chen Jinye enjoyed this short time very much, and finally, Chen Jinye stood on the wall in the dark of the kitchen.
Hongling immediately broke free from his arms, and just as she wanted to speak, Chen Jinye covered her mouth with her hand and said softly: "Shhhhhh
After that, Chen Jinye squeezed Hong Ling's hand and squatted down, Hong Ling naturally squatted down with him, the kitchen was still bright, and people were busy in the kitchen, from twilight to night, it was almost half an hour, the kitchen was still busy coming and going, Hong Ling was a little sleepy, couldn't help yawning, and the squatting posture had long been changed to sitting on the edge of the wall.
"When will they be done?"
Hong Ling muttered in a low voice, but Chen Jinye kept smiling at the corners of her mouth, maybe it was because of her that she actually enjoyed this moment of purity, as time went by, Hong Ling yawned and slowly leaned on Chen Jinye's shoulder and fell asleep.
There were fewer people in the kitchen, Chen Jinye leaned over and picked up Hongling, landed firmly in front of the kitchen door, and quickly flashed into the kitchen, Chen Jinye slowly put Hongling on the chair next to her and leaned her against the stove, she was indeed tired, and there was no sign of waking up at all.
Chen Jinye quickly rummaged in the kitchen, and after carefully inspecting every corner, he finally found most of the bag of rice in an inconspicuous cupboard, this bag of rice weighed fifty pounds to say the least, Chen Jinye weighed it slightly, and then looked up at Hongling, who had fallen asleep, and sighed slowly with the corners of his mouth.
Chen Jinye temporarily put the rice bag back in the cupboard, walked up to Hongling and slowly picked her up, and then quickly went out of the door, and after a quick and steady leap, Chen Jinye placed Hongling in her room.
At this time, Hongling was sleeping very soundly, and from time to time she made some baby-like murmurs, Chen Jinye couldn't take her eyes off it, and after a long time, she finally slowly imprinted a kiss on her forehead.
Chen Jinye reached out and stroked her ear, then slowly got up and disappeared into the dark night, and transported back the half bag of rice in the kitchen.
