Chapter 137: People from the Rivers and Lakes

"We're leaving."

Lian Hao and the others were full, and those with sickles took sickles, and those with baskets took baskets, and then went to the fields.

Leng Yue cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks at home, saw that it was still early, and the children were also asleep, so he went to the field to pull some vegetables and fry them at noon with a basket, and when he came back, he heard that the Han butcher at the head of the village was killing pigs, and hurriedly ran to the Han butcher's house.

When I arrived, the butcher's house was crowded with people, all of whom had come to buy pork.

Miaoshan Village now every household has surplus silver, this busy farming season, laborers go to the field before dawn to do farm work, how can you come back without eating meat?

In the past, the village was poor, and the money earned was not enough for the family to eat, but now it is different.

"Han butcher, chop five catties of meat for me."

"I want three pounds."

The women who stayed at home to cook took the copper coins and squeezed them in.

"Don't squeeze don't squeeze, come one by one, there are all, I have two pigs prepared today, and I have enough to keep them." Han Butcher cut pork and shouted to the woman who squeezed forward.

Leng Yue looked at everyone's smiling faces, and felt that this kind of life was really fulfilling, although it was very busy, but as long as everyone had food and shelter, and had a little money in their hands to live, they felt very happy.

"Yueniang, are you here to buy meat too?" Tie Niu's daughter-in-law saw Leng Yue and came over to say hello.

"Yes, Uncle and Dad have gone to the field, and I will buy a few catties of meat to go back." Leng Yue said with a smile.

"Actually, your family doesn't have to do it yourself, when we finish harvesting the rice in our fields, we will go to help your family harvest it." Tie Niu's daughter-in-law enthusiastically talked to Leng Yue: "Anyway, after the harvest of this season, there is nothing to do in the field to see what else to plant, why are you in a hurry to go to the field." ”

Sister-in-law Xiang pushed Tie Niu's daughter-in-law and said: "You don't even know the character of the old man, how can you wait for our help, take advantage of the good weather, he won't hurry up and collect it, otherwise if there is a rainstorm, the rice will be bent, even the old man is in a hurry, and even the boss is here, and there is no shortage of people in the family, so naturally he doesn't want to trouble us." ”

"Yes." Tie Niu's daughter-in-law nodded.

"Come, sister-in-law Xiang, your meat, three and a half catties." Han Butcher shouted.

"Okay." Sister-in-law Xiang gave the copper coin with a smile and greeted Leng Yue: "I'll go back first, there are still milk babies at home, and I can't be busy." ”

"Go ahead." Leng Yue nodded at Sister-in-law Chaoxiang.

"Yueniang, how much meat do you want to buy?" Han Butcher asked Leng Yue

This Lian family is rich and powerful in Miaoshan Village, and he has earned money with everyone, and his family's business has also improved, in the past, the village was busy with farming, and those who could come to cut a pound of meat and go home to fight tooth sacrifices were considered rich, which is like now, a few catties and a few catties to be wanted, and the men in each family are eating strong, and the children are eating white and fat, and the rubbing one is taller and stronger than the other.

This temple mountain village is really a blessing for the Lian family.

"I want seven pounds." Leng Yue heard Han Butcher ask her, she was very embarrassed, there were so many people lining up to buy it in front, so this Han Butcher gave priority to letting her buy it, and took care of her too much.

The Han butcher cut the fat and lean meat, took a bone and tied it with straw, and said, "You take this bone to make soup, and I will give it to you." ”

"It's not good." Leng Yue didn't dare to pick it up.

"Take it, the Han butcher is grateful to you, if it weren't for you, how could the people in this village afford to eat meat, and no one would misunderstand it again." Tie Niu's daughter-in-law took the meat for Leng Yue and said: "In the past, we were shallow and talked nonsense, don't take it to heart, everyone has been with you for so long, and they don't know who you are, and that kind of thing won't happen again in the future, take it quickly." ”

"Then thank you Han Butcher." Leng Yue was really afraid that if she took the barrel bone of the Han butcher, it would not affect it well, and when she heard Tie Niu's daughter-in-law say this, she took it with peace of mind.

After paying the money, Leng Yue went home.

Before he could put down the dishes, Lian Hao came back with a load of millet.

Seeing that Lian Hao was sweating profusely, Leng Yue hurriedly took a sweat towel and gave it to Lian Hao: "Are you tired?" ”

"Not tired." Lian Hao said with a smile while wiping: "This year's harvest is good, at least three loads of millet can be harvested in one acre of land, and the family will not have to go outside to buy rice in the future, saving a lot of money." ”

"It's only three quintals, if it's hybrid rice, one acre of land can produce at least 1,000 catties." Leng Yue felt that it was still difficult to provide for food in ancient times.

This is still the time when the harvest is good, and if the harvest is bad, I don't know how many people will go hungry.

"What is hybrid rice? The yield is so high? When Lian Hao heard this, he said curiously.

"Don't look at me, I'm not Yuan Longping, I don't know how to cultivate rice." Leng Yue looked away from Lian Hao, really afraid that Lian Hao would take her seriously, thinking that she would know everything.

"Is that rice you said something from your previous plane?" Lian Hao was curious, and he wanted to know what Yueniang said about her time and space, everyone did not have to worry about food and clothing, there was no war, and life was free.

"Hmm." Leng Yue nodded.

"I'd love to go to the plane you said." Lian Hao was very envious of Leng Yue's previous life.

I heard that there was another war on the coast, and there were many refugees in the city, and Xiaoji was busy during this time.

Leng Yue only smiled and didn't speak, if Lian Hao wore it to modern times, then everyone who flew around with martial arts didn't think of him as Spider-Man?

"By the way, I dried cold boiled water and boiled some eggs, you can take them to the field for your father and them to eat."

With that, Leng Yue went to the kitchen to get something.

Lian Hao knocked on an egg and said with a smile: "Don't say it, this breakfast is early, this will be really hungry, Yueniang is really thoughtful." ”

"It's manual work, and those bowls of rice are enough."

Leng Yue put the water and eggs into the basket, so that Lian Hao could take them, picked up the rake at home, and was just about to rake the grain, but was stopped by Lian Hao, "Don't move, don't move, I'll come, now the sun is big, don't sunburn you." ”

"It's so squeamish, when I used to train, it wasn't the same as when I came in the wind and rain, and when I went to the field to fight, the conditions were not as good as now." What do you think of her, it's not that she hasn't suffered when she reads cold.

"It used to be before, but now you have a husband, you just need to cook, and you don't have to do other work." Lian Hao spread out on the oiled paper in the courtyard and fetched millet.

Looking at Lian Hao's quick movements, Leng Yue really couldn't intervene.

"I'm leaving." Lian Hao picked up the basket and kissed Leng Yue's face.

Leng Yue smiled, sent Lian Hao out, and saw Lian Hao's light steps, blowing the whistle all the way to his own field, and felt really happy in his heart.

After a busy day, after dinner, the family sat in the courtyard to enjoy the coolness, even the boss shook the pu fan, with a satisfied face, "This work is really happy, how can there be so many fields at home before, no matter how tired this person is, he is happy." ”

"No, I haven't been in the field to cut rice for several years, and I'm almost rusty." Even the eldest lady laughed.

"Grandpa, you used to love to tell ghost stories to our children, Jin'er hasn't heard grandpa tell a story for three years, grandpa, you tell us a ghost story." Jin'er suggested.

"Okay." Boss Lian sat up straight, cleared his throat, and said, "Let Grandpa think about it, what kind of ghost story will I tell you?" ”

Leng Yue hugged Xiu'er and leaned on Lian Hao, waiting for Boss Lian to tell the story like everyone else.

"Once upon a time, there was a family living in the mountains, and in the middle of the night, there was always a woman crying on the mountain behind the house, and the voice was faintly saying: Help me, please help me......"

Xiu'er shrunk in Leng Yue's arms, scared and wanted to listen.

Jin'er listened energetically and asked his grandfather: "What happened later?" Did the family help? ”

Lian Boss continued: "The eldest son of the family was bold, took a torch and walked in the direction of the sound, and found that the woman's cry came from a grave......"

After listening to the end of the story, Leng Yue admired the uncle for telling the story so beautifully and touchingly, but he didn't expect that there was a woman who was about to give birth lying in the coffin, and in order to prevent his child from suffocating to death with her in the coffin, he turned into a ghost and asked for help from the family.

"The story is over, and the hour is not early, let's go back to sleep, and we will go to the field tomorrow." Even the boss was sleepy, urging everyone to sleep, and he took his family home.

Xiu'er dragged Leng Yue's hand and said bitterly: "Mother, the story told by Grandpa Gang is so terrible, I don't dare to sleep alone." ”

Leng Yue picked up Xiu'er, "Then you can sleep with your mother." ”

"Not good." Lian Hao coaxed Xiu'er and said, "If you don't embroider well, will you sleep with your grandfather?" ”

"Yes, embroidery, grandpa will carry you to sleep." Even the old man reached out to hug him.

"Don't." Xiu'er hugged Leng Yue tightly: "I'm going to sleep with my mother." ”

Leng Yue said to Lian Laohan: "Dad, it's okay, just let Xiu'er sleep with me, you go to sleep, you will get up early tomorrow morning to be busy." ”

Lian Hao saw that Yueniang insisted on sleeping with Xiu'er, so he had to stop touching Yueniang tonight.

The gate of Xiaofu slammed several times, and Steward Lu opened the door and saw four black-clothed people standing side by side with cold faces, looking like people with strong martial arts, and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Is Lord Xiao here? Let him come out, and say that my lord is looking for it. The black-clothed man who spoke was expressionless, and there was a dignified chill in his tone.

"Who is your master?" Steward Lu wanted to find out the details of the person who came, and asked.

"What are you talking about, Lord Xiao will naturally know when you come out, go quickly!" The man commanded in a cold voice.

Although Steward Lu saw that the person who came was very fierce, he didn't do anything, and he shouldn't be a person looking for trouble.

"Sir, sir." Steward Lu ran to the study and knocked on the door, "Someone is looking for you outside, but the villain doesn't know where he came from, there are four people in black, one in white, he looks a bit like a person from the rivers and lakes, very fierce, does the master see it or not?" ”

Steward Lu told Lord Xiao what he saw.

"Jianghu people?" Xiao Heng frowned and said: "The government has no contact with the people in the rivers and lakes, what do they have to do with the officials?" ”

"I don't know, I won't reply to them when I ask them, master, or you should not see them, the villain looks at them very badly." Steward Lu suggested.

"I, Xiao, have always had no grudges with people in the rivers and lakes, since people have come to the door, let's go and have a look." Xiao Heng was also curious about what kind of people from the rivers and lakes would come to him.

When he came to the gate with Steward Lu, he recognized the man in white at a glance, he was ecstatic, and knelt on the ground on his knees: "Your Majesty, why did you come to Weichen's mansion?" ”
