The little old man was originally very restrained, and he called himself a 'villain', but after hearing Li Shihu call out the honorific title of 'Mao Jin Gong', he suddenly relaxed a lot, and gave his hand to respond: "It's the old man, this little military master is from Lijia Village?" ”

Li Shihu hurried close to Liu Jun and introduced Li Maojin's situation in a low voice, that is, he called him a gong, he must be a person with a lot of status in the village, and Li Maojin is the same, his generation is at least three generations older than Li Shihu, he belongs to his grandfather's generation, and he is also one of the few people in the village who have a 'future'.

Ten years ago, Li Maojin went back to the village to do errands, and disappeared on the way back to the county seat after finishing the work.

The village didn't know about this until more than ten days later, and mobilized several waves of people to look everywhere, but there was no one alive or dead, and no body was seen.

If you report to the official, you will go to the countryside to organize the villagers to search around, and in the end, this job will fall to the villagers of Lijia Village, and the family members will pay more or less errands.

If you run into an irresponsible team leader, the errand fee is charged, but the person doesn't even go out of the county, and directly asks the family to go back and wait for the news, and tell you that you can't find anyone in a few days.

Li Maojin disappeared like this, and some people speculated that either they encountered a wild beast on the road and was eaten, or they encountered a thief who killed people and sank their corpses, but they didn't expect to encounter it in the thief's den.

Liu Jun asked in detail, originally Li Maojin did encounter thieves who were arrested, and those thieves were bought by his own brother Li Maoqian, just to plot a property in the county seat.

Originally, his brother meant to let the thieves kill people and destroy the body, but the thieves did not kill him after taking him away, so they let him follow the thieves in the den to settle accounts and keep accounts, and make the best use of his things.

Within a few years, the thieves and different gangs were merged, Li Maojin was accepted by the new gang as a professional, repeated several times, Li Maojin also broke off the idea of escaping, on the Five Tiger Mountain, there are many people who have contact with Lijia Village, and some people have long known that he is still alive, but there is no meaning, no one will spend money to ransom him or risk coming up to save him, he can only stay in the mountain.

However, because he is a professional, the treatment given to him by the thief is not low, and he has a wife and children, so he has no way to run away and face the original partner at home.

After talking about his recent situation, Li Maojin also took the opportunity to ask about the situation in Lijia Village, and heard that Lijia Village was broken by barbarians, and the villagers did not exist for a while, and even Li Maoqian died, so he couldn't help but feel sad.

Not only him, but there were some people who had something to do with Lijia Village among the bandit captives, and they couldn't help but stir up at this moment.

"Don't make noise! Stay well, we are from Lijia Village, these military masters are not, be careful of being beheaded if you make a lot of noise! Liu Jun said loudly.

Zilong's whole person is not good, what do you mean? Aren't we, the military masters, under your command? It's up to you to decide whether to cut off your head or not, and now you don't want to take responsibility for letting them carry the mine, right?

Although MMP in his heart, his face showed a fierce expression very cooperatively, pulling the knife to intimidate those commotion captives, the blood stains on his body were matched with the cold and shining blade, and the deterrent power was first-class, and he didn't blame Liu Jun for letting him carry the thunder, otherwise Liu Jun was a woman, even if he shouted and broke his throat, no one would pay attention to it.

Zilong didn't dare not cooperate, otherwise Liu Jun would come up with some torture method, and it would be troublesome for Ziqingshu to train them, just a standing posture would make these tough guys who didn't frown when they charged.

Because it belonged to the tent and all the materials of the bandits, Li Maojin knew better than those leaders, where to put the grain and where to put the soldiers, he knew everything well, including the origin of the roots of the piles of plants.

"This is called the barbarian potato, I heard that it is a unique crop of the barbarians, and the caravan that went out purchased a little and transported it back, and then was robbed by Chen Hu. This kind of wild potato is easy to fart if you eat too much, and everyone doesn't like to eat it. Li Maojin explained.

Fart, that's normal, it means that the crude fiber of the potato is not easy to digest, and most potato crops, whether it is sweet potato or cassava, are easy to fart if they eat too much.

Li Maojin's words also proved that this crop can indeed be eaten, and I don't know what the yield is, if the yield is large, maybe it can become one of the staple foods and solve the problem of food shortage in the future.

"It's a pity that there are too few, and they have been left for so long, many of them have dried up, and I don't know if they can be planted." Liu Jun sighed regretfully.

Li Maojin hesitated for a moment, leaned over and whispered: "Liu Dangjia, these wild potatoes are actually a lot, because they eat too much and fart, those bandits are not happy to eat, divide it, I collected some and let people plant it on the hillside, it has grown all over the mountains in the past two years, and those bandits don't know, and I didn't tell them, I was originally going to ......." ”

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Jun excitedly: "What you said is true?" Where is it? Where is it planted? Take me to see it. ”

"Seed ...... Planted on the hillside, right over there, Ben ...... Originally, I was preparing to dig a little more quietly in an emergency during the famine year. Li Maojin was frightened by Liu Jun's excitement and hurriedly led the way.

It was just time that the morning sun was slowly rising, and the golden sun was shining on the southeast slope, and looking down the hillside, it was all green and lush potato leaves, this crop grew savagely, and had grown all over the southeast and southwest slopes, and extended to the southwest valley.

Liu Jun couldn't help but take a deep breath, and a big stone in his heart fell to the ground. Although I don't know the yield of this crop, with such a large area, it should be no problem to feed a few hundred people, and there is hope that this winter will survive.

……

Letting go of the big stone in his heart, Liu Jun finally had the leisure to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the rising sun, he was too busy during this time, the whole person was like a tight clockwork, even being attacked by Li Meng and almost dying of such a big thing, he didn't have time to rest, and now he finally seized the opportunity to relax.

However, some people are really working hard, and after watching the morning sun for more than ten seconds, his attention is attracted by the slope below.

After a closer look, it was found that the southeast slope and the southwest slope were not on the same plane, separated by a cliff, and the southwest side of the hill was higher, and was connected to the top of Wuhu Mountain.

In this way, this slope is equivalent to a hanging platform above the ground, which can be walked down from Wuhu Mountain, but cannot be directly ascended from the mountain.

"This is a natural rear, you can't reach this slope without capturing Wuhu Mountain, why don't you reclaim it? This sloping land has been reclaimed and it is not a problem to feed tens of thousands of people. Liu Jun asked regretfully.

Wuhu Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if they do not use the way of rock climbing to sneak in, but to attack, no one or two thousand soldiers may not be able to attack this cottage, if the southwest slope is reclaimed, food self-sufficient, even if it is besieged, it is not afraid, this slope is enough to grow food to feed tens of thousands of people.

Li Maojin gave him a strange look, which instantly made him realize that he seemed to have asked a stupid question.

"There's no water."
