They didn't get the news they wanted, so the sisters were full of concerns, asked for two basins of hot water, went into the house to scrub them in the dark, took the muddy clothes to the yard, rubbed them with the washing water, and hung them up to dry.

There is a well for taking water in the village, and it is not easy for Mrs. Zhou's family to get water, so they can't waste water.

After cleaning up, the two went back to the house and lay down.

Jiang Yu sighed and said, "Grandma Zhou, ah no, Aunt Zhou and Zhao... My sister is too miserable! And it's too defenseless, isn't it, why do you say anything to us? ”

"It's normal, this is not modern, especially Linjia Village has no contact with the outside world all year round, a place like this is either extremely vicious or simple-minded."

Jiang Yu sighed again: "It's a pity that we didn't get any useful information. ”

Jiang Yao said calmly: "It's not that there is no information, first, Linjia Village has been here for a long time; Second, this is indeed near Qingyun Mountain, in the earthquake zone; Third, the nearby towns are not currently at war; Fourth, a group of bandits came to Qingyun Mountain a year ago, not only did they not harm Linjia Village, but they also secretly helped, probably to escape the world. ”

Jiang Yu sat up all of a sudden, turned his head to stare at Jiang Yao in the dark: "So, you mean?" ”

Jiang Yao also sat up, nodded and said, "The world outside should not be peaceful. ”

According to records, the earthquake occurred in November 131 of the Yuan calendar of the Tianyou Continent, at that time, the Tianyou Continent had just gone through civil strife and was torn apart, and many places were experiencing drought and famine.

In the aftermath of the earthquake, countless corpses were added, causing a plague, which spread to various countries as refugees flowed, causing a resurgence of chaos and finally being invaded by foreign enemies.

Jiang Yu: "So that means I don't know when the earthquake is going to happen?" ”

Jiang Yao: "Well, I don't feel very good. ”

Jiang Yu became even more nervous when he heard this, "That means it's almost there?" ”

"Although I don't know the year name yet, Aunt Zhou said that it is the beginning of November, which is about the same as I estimated before, if it is one hundred and thirty-one years of the Yuan calendar......"

"So that means the earthquake is likely to be this month?!"

Jiang Yao nodded and said, "Well, so it's still the same sentence, understand the situation as soon as possible and leave here." ”

The conversation made both of them feel a little heavy and couldn't sleep.

Jiang Yu simply put his senses to the maximum, basically covering most of the village.

The result is that apart from hearing some quarrels, there are some indescribable sounds.

The others either went to bed early, and those who didn't sleep didn't talk about what year and month, or how the world was.

I heard Mrs. Zhao ask Mrs. Zhou: "Mother, you haven't gone out much, how do you know so much?" ”

"Mrs. Sun next door is a big voice, and she often chats with people at the door about gossip, I heard it."

"Oh, my mother is amazing, I can hear this, I will listen to it more in the future."

“…… Don't go, the old woman says everything, and doesn't taint your ears. ”

"Okay, listen to my mother." Although she didn't know what she couldn't listen to, Zhao Niangzi still responded very obediently.

……

Early the next morning, Jiang Yao helped Mrs. Zhou pick up the water and came back, helping Mrs. Zhou clean up the yard while waiting for Mrs. Sun's movement next door.

Jiang Yu helped Zhao Niangzi light the fire in the kitchen, and hugged Lin Xiaohu by the way.

When breakfast was almost ready, Mrs. Sun's loud voice came from next door, scolding her daughter-in-law for being lazy and something like that.

Mrs. Zhou shouted at her and interrupted her.

Mrs. Sun's daughter-in-law quietly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went to work.

Mrs. Sun walked to the stone wall shared by the two families and said, "Mrs. Zhou, have you had breakfast?" ”

In fact, she was even more curious about why Mrs. Zhou suddenly talked to her today, she rarely interacted with people on weekdays.

Mrs. Zhou didn't have much appetite for her, and after a few polite words with her, she briefly explained the situation.

Who knew that Mrs. Sun didn't respond.

After a while, a head poked out of the wall, and it was Mrs. Sun.

"Yo, this is the girl you said about borrowing your house?! looks better than Lin Xiaoqing at the head of the village, just like a fairy. Mrs. Sun glanced up and down at Jiang Yao's tone of surprise, and asked Jiang Yao again: "How old is the girl?" Are you married? If not, I'll introduce you to one! ”

Jiang Yao was wearing a coarse cloth coat borrowed from Mrs. Zhao today, and it just so happened that Mrs. Zhao was about the same height as her.

Although the clothes are not good-looking, and they still have patches, they are also clean and tidy, plus Jiang Yao herself is good-looking, especially white, in the eyes of Mrs. Sun, she is not like a fairy.

deliberately changed into women's clothes in order to avoid being treated as a man and adding gossip to Mrs. Zhou's family.

Who knows...... You can't escape the fate of being urged to marry anywhere!

Jiang Yu, who was eavesdropping in the kitchen, smiled, her coat was still wearing yesterday's outerwear, and this one was the least eye-catching, so she washed the whole underwear she changed yesterday, but the outerwear was just a simple rub of the dirty place.

Jiang Yao suppressed the complaint in her heart, and bowed to Mrs. Sun: "Thank you for your kindness, the younger generation is a cultivator and cannot get married." ”

Mrs. Sun trembled with laughter when she heard this: "How can you call me aunt, how can I be so young, this good-looking person has a very sweet mouth, it's a pity that ......" is a monk."

Mrs. Sun glanced at Jiang Yao with a regretful look on her face several times, and then told her what she knew.

It's a pity that Mrs. Sun doesn't know much.

She was married from the other side of the col, over two hills, and it was also a deep mountain, and she never went out.

In fact, it is understandable when you think about it, although Mrs. Sun loves to gossip with others, most of the things they talk about are some short things in the family, who cares about national affairs?

At most, I talked about Qingyun Village in front of me, but I didn't know much, I only vaguely heard that it was chaos outside and hid here.

This is against Jiang Yao's speculation.

As for Nalin Xiaoxi, he is either in Qingyun Village all day long, or running to the town, and the time of coming back is not fixed, and he doesn't know when he will come back.

There will be no more.

Jiang Yao clenched her fists and bowed to Mrs. Sun and said, "The junior wants to trouble my aunt to take me to Nalin Xiaoxi's house and ask, I don't know if my aunt is free." ”

Mrs. Sun saw that Jiang Yao was very polite to her, and she was very useful, so she hurriedly agreed: "What's so difficult about this, then after breakfast, I'll take you there!" ”

Jiang Yu couldn't help but sigh, sure enough, appearance is justice!

After breakfast, Jiang Yao and Jiang Yu followed Mrs. Sun to Lin Xiaoxi's house, and along the way, Jiang Yao led Mrs. Sun to talk about things in the village.

"This Lin Xiaoxi, the youngest son of the fourth aunt's family, has been called a skin since he was a child! When he walks, he beckons chickens and dogs to his family every day. ”

"The fourth aunt gave birth to a total of 4 sons, a girl, Xiaoxi is the smallest, Dajiang's brothers are all good guys, even Yanzi's girl is diligent, and Xiaoxi's boy doesn't know how to grow." He shook his head as he spoke.

"When I was a child, I would run away and go crazy in the village, either causing trouble everywhere or fighting with people, and when I was only 3 years old, I would use a stone to smash the head of the dog at the head of the village!"

"It's just that the fourth aunt loves him the most, no wonder, that kid is a ghost, he just can't control it, no, the village is not enough for him to make trouble, so he went to play in the bandits' den."

"It's up to you to save face today, otherwise I wouldn't be happy to go to his house, and no one wants to get involved with the bandits."

The two sisters hurriedly thanked Mrs. Sun, and what was even more satisfied was that Jiang Yu took out a piece of snack from the small backpack she was wearing.

In fact, it was a cookie that Jiang Yu took out from the backpack space.

"Thank you aunt, this is our unique snack, it's delicious, you can try it." Mrs. Sun took a sip, the taste was fragrant and crispy, melted in the mouth, sweet, not to mention delicious, it was so delicious that I couldn't wait to swallow my tongue together.

"This ...... What is this made of, it's so delicious, isn't it?! ”

Jiang Yu smiled: "If you like it, it's fine!" ”

It's not that they can't give more, it's just that this is their important ration, and a whole box will cost nearly 60,000 steps to exchange for steps, so if you can save it, you can save it.

"I love that! Oh, what kind of fairy place does this have! There is such a delicious thing. ”

However, she only ate two bites, wrapped the remaining half in a handkerchief, and said that she would take it back to her little grandson.

Then he talked to the sisters even harder about all kinds of gossip in the village.

Linjia Village is not large, and the overall distribution of houses is long and narrow, probably because of the topography, most of them are backed by the mountain and face the middle of the mountain col.

In the middle of the col is the village's fields, which are relatively gentle, and there are also some fields around the houses, all of which are terraced fields.

The autumn harvest had just been experienced, and early risers could be seen in the fields already toiling in preparation for the coming year's planting.

Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Sun's house is in the innermost part of the village, and it is also the highest place, and there are no people in the short distance after walking out, and the houses are gradually dense when they go down.

Lin Xiaoxi's house was close to the head of the village, and the three of them walked through almost the entire village.

At this time, it is the time when the families have breakfast and go out to work, and there are many men and women on the road, and it seems that the constraints on women are not too great.

As for Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Zhao, Jiang Yao felt that it should be because of their bad reputation, and they didn't like to go out and avoid suspicion.

Along the way, I met a lot of people, and Mrs. Sun introduced them to each other.

"There's a root, go down to the ground?"

"These two are from the mountains, and they want to go to the fourth aunt's house to ask about something, and I will bring them, but they have the ability and are sensible!"

"Shake, rain, this is the root of the rich family, called Brother Yougen, you Brother Yougen may have done it......"

"This is Xiaoyun from the Seventh Mother-in-law's family, married to the village chief's big cow, and gave birth to 4 sons in 5 years! ……”
