The slaves and peasants in the village are actually the children of the Qu people, helping the children of the descendants to work, they have no land, and they are also the private property of the slave owners, they have no personal freedom, and they have to work to support their families.

After Qu Tao's introduction, Bao Xi understood the general situation here, and under the management of Zheng Bo, Zheng Di allowed private property within a reasonable range, and the slave owners were quite benevolent and did not completely squeeze them.

When there was a war, the young and middle-aged laborers in Qujia Village resisted the rampant and crusaded against Xirong, usually working as a farmer at home, hunting and building houses for the government, while the women of the village raised silkworms and reeled silk for their masters, and collected fruits and vegetables.

After the introduction, Qu Tao took a sip of water and said: "In the future, you will live here with peace of mind, I told them that you are my long-lost sister, they will not doubt it, but ......" He looked embarrassed and said: "Your appearance is too good, I am afraid that it will cause thieves to worry, we are close to the ghost side, I am afraid that they will take you away when they come to rob the cattle and sheep." ”

Bao Xi said: "Don't worry, I will have my own way to deal with it then." ”

He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, but I go to supervise the work every day, and I may not be able to take care of you, so you should be more careful at home alone." ”

Bao Xi frowned, remembering the scenes she saw in Qujia Village today, she said: "I can pick mulberry and raise silkworms, and I also know how to brew fruit wine. ”

Qu Tao was suspicious, and his face was full of the words 'Don't blindly command you, the eldest lady who is not careful', Bao Xi was unconvinced, and said: "I'm serious, if you don't believe it, just wait to see what I'm capable of!" ”

He laughed and said, "We'll see." When he said this, he looked at her under the lamp, and felt that she was extraordinary in beauty but also terrifyingly thin, and couldn't help but feel sad: "How could your dignified queen of the Zhou Dynasty fall into this situation?" ”

"Not anymore." Bao Xi said lightly: "Yijiu moved east to be crowned king, and in the eyes of the world, I and the king are already dead corpses, Zheng Bo didn't dare to reveal our true identity before the princes of the world responded, and only treated me as a distant relative, calling me 'Mrs. Jing', I didn't dare to announce my name after escaping for so long, what kind of queen should I be?" ”

"I mean, you're too fit." Qu Tao looked at her shriveled face and said, "Ordinary people say that you nobles are clothed and fed, and you are a turtle and carp, but I don't think you are thin overnight. ”

As soon as he said this, Bao Xi's heart became even more melancholy, and he lowered his eyes silently, and said, "This is the price of freedom!" ”

"The price of freedom?"

She stood up in vain, looking out the window at the endless darkness, just wanted to talk about her escape experience, remembering the herbs in her pocket, she took out some, put them on the table, and said with a smile: "In the past, I learned the art of Qihuang in Baoguo, and in the future, if the villagers can find me no matter what kind of illness they have, and you can tell the girls that I will make beauty prescriptions and deodorant formulas...... Heh, I can't imagine that these things can still come in handy. ”

Qu Tao looked at her smile dumbfounded, and muttered in a low voice: "Where is the demon who brings disaster to the country and the people, it is clearly a fairy who saves the suffering, but it is not like a mortal." ”

……

Bao Xi who lives in Qujia Village is like a fish in water, in this unrestrained world, she can do whatever she wants, she can roam freely, although the people of Qujia Village are surprised that Qu Tao can have such a delicate and beautiful sister as a man who is five big and three rough, but still tolerate her with great kindness.

Since ancient times, the aristocracy and the peasants and slaves were not in the same camp, in order to prevent her from being captured by the slave owners and returned as a concubine, everyone tried all kinds of ways to protect her, praise her in return, teach people to make new farm tools, use chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep manure to compost, treat people in their spare time, and often go to the jungle with the girls to collect herbs to make beauty prescriptions.

Every day here was full and happy, until one day, she saw a group of people crying by the field.

After inquiring in the past, Bao Xi learned that Ji Gongyan was made king again, and now Shenhou, Xuanhou and other support Yijiu to be the king in Luoyi, and Bao Guo, Xiyu State, Bao Guo and so on support Ji Gongyan, after Ji Gongyan took power again, he asked all over the country to offer beautiful women.

A lady shouted at the top of her voice: "The beauty pageant is actually a beauty grab!" My miserable daughter was snatched by him and never came back......"

The others were howling and very sad.

"Don't cry, auntie." Bao Xi held her hand and said, "Now that Zheng Di is still under the control of Uncle Zheng, he will not sit idly by." ”

"Xiang'er, you don't understand, Uncle Zheng, he listens to everything from the faint king...... I, I think you should also pay attention, you are so good-looking, don't be ruined by him! ”

When she was unsettled, Qu Tao's voice sounded from behind, and he said, "Xiang'er, I have something important to look for you, you can go home with me!" ”

Bao Xi followed back absentmindedly, and when he got home, he immediately locked the door, pounded the ground, and said hatefully: "I heard Qu Bian say that the king wants to send people to every household to find a woman of appropriate age, this, this is ...... at all."

The drunkard didn't mean to drink, Bao Xi said silently in her heart, she raised a smile and said softly: "I'll go back, thank you for your hospitality these days, I can't affect anyone anymore." ”

"Nope! I'm going to kill the faint king! His eyes suddenly became firm, and he said, "That's right, that Daoless Dumb Monarch ......."

"Shut up! Don't say that again! Bao Xi opened the door gently, and when she saw that there was no one outside, she was relieved, and she said: "Don't be stupid, I have lived by his side for so many years, so I naturally know how strict his vigilance is, and if you go, you will only die." ”

She clasped her hands tightly and said: "The king is unpopular, he will not be the king for a few days, if you don't kill him, naturally someone will kill him, but ......" Before his regime is overthrown, it is unknown how many women from good families will be harmed.

"Yu Chen, Yu Chen, that's right!" Bao Xi's eyes lit up, and she said, "Brother, you send a credible person over immediately, I have something important to explain." ”

Seeing that he looked puzzled, she explained: "Mo Hou provoked the king before, I saved him, I hope you can send someone to help me pass a message, begging him to think of a way." "If it really doesn't work, ask him to set himself up as a king, and get a lot of help, and the princes who support him as king are far more than they support Ji Gongyan.

Qu Tao was suspicious, but he still asked people to come over, and the messenger said: "If there is no token, I am afraid it will be difficult to see Mo Hou." ”

Bao Xi thought about it, picked up a stone from the corner of the room, handed it to him, and said, "You just give him this stone, and he will naturally understand." ”

After the messenger left, Qu Tao sighed: "It will take half a month to get from here to Mo Guo, I'm afraid it's too late." ”

"Gotta give it a try." Bao Xi said in a low voice: "I only hope that the king will not be angry with those innocent girls." ”
