I have been working hard for eight days in a row, and today is the ninth day.

Most of the people hunched their backs hung like machines lacking parts from the rocky mountains dutifully mined the rocks, while those who carried the rocks down the mountain staggered like a lame man.

Stone has never done such heavy work!

At this time, he came to the foot of the mountain with a waist-high stone on his back, and unloaded it neatly, seeing that the foreman Qin Hu did not make a sound, he dragged his almost flashed waist and hurriedly turned back, although he was so tired that he didn't dare to stop for even a second, otherwise he would be deducted again.

"Hurry up, hurry up! That dwarf, this time it doesn't count, who is being deceived by such a small stone! Memorize it one more time! Steward Qin, who was not far away, said and wrote it down in his notebook.

Listening to Steward Qin's name again, the stone hurriedly ran away, saving himself from being deducted!

As soon as he walked less than two hundred meters, there was a shout from behind.

"Sir! Master! Ah......h

After all, the stone is not very old, and he can't help but look back curiously, and he doesn't want to leave this time.

In the distance, a chubby and short old man in silk was being dragged over by a tall man with a rope, and the tall man had already walked to the foreman and was kicking the tall and thin Qin butler away.

"Everyone, stop!" At the same time, the man threw a loud package.

The stone didn't know how to describe the man's momentum, but it woke him up like thunder anyway.

When he saw Master Qin and Steward Qin being beaten, he was happy in his heart! also realized that the other party was helping them, and quickly ran back to have a look.

"Are you not a stone? Go! Go to the mountains and call people, so that everyone can stop what they are doing and get paid here.

What are you doing stupidly? Just go! Call your dad back, hurry! ”

Cai Dacheng saw that this young man looked a bit like the fifth uncle, and thought that it was a stone to replace Ercheng, so he hurriedly drove him away.

Shi looked at this person a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while, but he could call his name and knew that his father was ranked fifth, so he wouldn't hurt himself. So he returned to the mountain again, this time without the butler's whip, and ran to the mountain as fast as he could.

"Take the money! Everyone, stop working and get paid! Get paid! ……”

At first, everyone was numb and unbelieving, but as the number of calls increased, many people were skeptical, and then when they saw the father and son they knew and the people who followed the father and son down the mountain, all the people who were working stopped their work or threw down the stones they were carrying, looked at each other and slowly began to rush down the mountain...

"Everyone, one or two silver per person, take the silver money and go to Qinjiazhuang to eat, and go home when you are full, you don't have to do it! Fifth uncle, you come here to pay your salary. ”

"Dacheng?"

"It's me, Fifth Uncle! We'll talk about that later, send the money first. The fifth uncle was very excited, but he still obediently took the money and began to light it.

The people who gathered began to believe it, and they exchanged heads.

There will always be people who don't believe in evil!

A tall and thin man stood up, he knew the fifth uncle, so he came directly to the fifth uncle to get the money.

When the fifth uncle handed over a large string of copper plates to him, the man couldn't help but tremble with excitement, and retreated with red eyes in his arms.

followed by Kang Qiang of Tangjia Village, nine days of hard work made the already meatless face become a real skinny one.

He dragged his overexhausted body, slowly paced to the fifth uncle, and when he saw the fifth uncle personally putting the money in his hands, he was so excited that he was incoherent, sat on the ground, and cried!

If it weren't for the two pieces of bread that Ercheng delivered every day, he would have starved to death! All the remaining cakes were given to him when Ercheng had an accident......

Before this, he had long since lost his initial salary goal of one hundred and five wages, and he retreated again and again, as long as he could get fifty yuan, he was content, but the fifth uncle gave him one or two silver!

His butt moved over and kowtowed in the direction of Cai Dacheng.

At this moment, he finally showed a comfortable smile, his old mother was saved!

At this time, the crowd was stunned, and they all rushed up to surround the fifth uncle and shout to take the money.

"Quiet! Be quiet! Line up! There's something for everyone! Fifth uncle, a team of ten people, you are responsible for counting out a pile of ten taels of silver. ”

"You don't work in teams of ten? Line up! Now the first group of ten people comes out to get the money! ”

Cai Dacheng picked up the roster and called the person's name.

……

Half an hour later, all the workmanship got a tael of silver.

Some people shouted excitedly, some cried, and most of them were still shy, but their red eyes also revealed a relaxed expression that they had not seen for a long time.

When everyone arrived at Qinjiazhuang, they found that the courtyard door was wide open, and more than ten tables in the courtyard had been placed with dishes and chopsticks, and a wooden bucket was placed on the side of each table, and most of the steaming white rice porridge was left in the bucket!

The people who work are poor, and the big white rice has never been eaten in a dream.

Many people rub their eyes and pinch their legs, but they can actually eat it in their mouths today?

"Can you eat white rice porridge?" One of them screams!

"Hey, hey! This porridge is thick! ”

"My goodness! Chopsticks inserted don't fall! ”

"Are you really full?"

"Can we still pick up six pimple steamed buns when we go? Twenty pounds of white flour? ”

The crowd was gossiping and screaming excitedly.

Everyone felt like they were in a dream, and they thought it would be good to get a hundred dollars, but it turned out to be ten times more! Although they were afraid of Master Qin's revenge, they couldn't be annoyed at this time, they ran to their families with satisfaction and hope!

After the people who did the work left, Cai Dacheng dragged Master Qin and Steward Qin to the living room and started a one-sided duet!

The fifth uncle and the stone stood on one side with their heads bowed, while Master Qin's thugs and subordinates were sitting or standing on the other side, and the ones who sat were not politely sitting, but were thrown to the ground with broken legs.

Half an hour later, Cai Dacheng stopped, and Master Qin and Steward Qin only had the share of anger.

Cai Dacheng began to deal with it at this time, and there were a lot of papers piled up on the table, including the deed of sale, the land and other various books.

"If you want to leave the Qin Mansion, come and get your body, of course, don't think about bullying men and women who usually bully men and women, and are full of evil!"

It was almost noon, those who should have left, and those who should not have been driven away, and only Cai Dacheng, the fifth uncle and father and son were left in the living room, as well as Qin Papi, the housekeeper and the thugs who had been discounted on the ground.

Of course, because of the intercession between the stone and the fifth uncle, Qin Hu was beaten the lightest, at least his hands and feet were still intact and usable.

"Dacheng, what now?" Although I don't know how Dacheng, who should have died, appeared here, but Dacheng's fifth uncle is very happy, but how good should Dacheng do at this moment?

"Fifth uncle, will you rest and go back or go back now? Take as much rice and noodles as you like.

Stone, you go to this house and find what you can use to move back.

As for here, don't worry, there will be no trouble, I still have something to do, I'll come back later. ”

After another hour, the rested fifth uncle and Shi Shi each carried a basket of grain on their backs, and each hung the clothes needed by the peasants on their chests and went home.

As soon as the fifth uncle and the others left, five people immediately walked out of the hall.

"When these people can move their hands and feet, you ask the county order to send them to the quarry, don't you like to toss people the most? Let them also taste the taste of being beaten and scolded and not having enough to eat! It's too cheap to kill them directly.

As for these, take them and divide them, and just leave the yard for me. Saying that, only the book of this courtyard and the nearby 100 acres of grain fields was left, and the rest were all sent to five people.

"Big brother, we can't take care of it so far, so I'll keep it all for you!" Pan Jiahe, the shortest of the five, will not look at it with such a little money.

"Big brother, who don't you want to give it to? I don't want it anyway! He Youtian also accosted.

Cai Dacheng looked around, Pan Jiahe, a subordinate he saved twice, He Youtian, who was rescued from human traffickers, Chen Hu and Chen Bao, who had been following him to charge and fight, and Wang Cheng, a military advisor given to him by General Chang for four years.

"I've been disarmed and returned to the field, so you don't have to follow me anymore.

I asked you to bother to help me once, thank you here! He arched his hand as he spoke.

"I don't have anything to give you, after so many years of birth and death, everyone is a brother, and it's good to take these to the county and let the county order exchange some silver to compensate the family.

Finally, I would like to give you some advice, and leave a way out for everything, especially your royal city. ”

"Big brother, the north will be beaten down soon, you are born and died, not to mention the feudal marquis, it is good to go back and get some money!" Chen Bao's personality is as straightforward as his name.

"No need, let's go, everyone has their own ambitions! You all have a small military position, fortunately, you still have the brains to report to General Li to know, otherwise people will find out that they are good at leaving the team and will lose their heads, go quickly! ”

couldn't stand Cai Dacheng's persuasion, and finally used a board car to throw Qin Papi and the others on top of each other and drag them away.

Cai Dacheng walked around the yard, leaving a lot of poultry, chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, etc., as well as an old cattle.

There are also subordinates, leaving a family of four, a family of four who have just been bought, 40-year-old Zhang Datou, 33-year-old Zhang Wang, two sons, 16-year-old Zhang Hammer and 12-year-old Zhang Shan.

arranged for the next person, said that he would come to check on him regularly, and Cai Dacheng also went home with the package and the grain on his back.

When I got home, the sun had set.
