Chapter Seventy-Eight: Deliverance
"I, what can I do?" Wen Jin was surprised.
Shi Qiwang thought that Wen Jin was shirking, and still continued to plead: "The prison is as cold as an ice cave, but he is also a child who is not a few years older than you, if he continues to be tortured like this, I am afraid that his life will not last long." As he spoke, a line of old tears poured down, which was moving.
Wen Jin couldn't stand it, and said warmly: "Don't cry first, tell me what's going on?" ”
"The master said that to lock up our young master is not to let him make trouble again. But we have to eat, how can we live if we don't go to He'ao Mountain? They all say you have a way. ”
"You go to Weijiawan for a walk, see how people do it, just learn from it, you don't need to look for me." Wen Jin came up with an idea.
"We've been there." Shi Qiwang lowered his head, "We are different from Weijiawan there. ”
"Okay, Uncle Shi, I'll go with you, go to Shiwei Village first, if you think it's okay, I'll accompany you to find Master Sun, if it doesn't work, don't blame me for not wanting to contribute."
Shi Qiwang was overjoyed, and as soon as he turned over and knelt down, he wanted to kowtow again: "Thank you, Brother Qian." ”
Wen Jin hurriedly stopped.
"Wen Jin, you-" Qian Xiancheng pointed at Wen Jin in surprise, his brows furrowed tightly.
"Second uncle, saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, the young master of the Shi family didn't make much of a mistake, he was brave, but no one died in He'ao, which proves that he knows how to do it well, and he is a person who knows how to measure, I can help him or help him."
When Shi Qiwang heard this, he immediately went up a notch to Wen Jin in his heart, and praised: "Brother Qian is not very old, broad-minded, and he is really a hero out of a young man, just like our young master, he is a little hero!" ”
Wen Jin didn't take his praise seriously, ran to the back room to discuss with Wei, and asked her to make lunch quickly, so that the people of Shiwei Village could eat it, so that she could go there and have a look.
Hou also told Webster what happened, and Webster was soft-hearted, so he had to shed tears with him. Son Wen Han went to study in other places, she was worried at home, other people's sons, but he really went to prison to suffer, compared his heart to his heart, Wei Shi was very sympathetic to Hou, and heard Wen Jin promise to go over to see, and if he could help, he would help, so he quickly wiped away his tears, and asked Hou to sit down Later, she went to the kitchen to cook.
Wen Jin naturally helped on the side: "Second aunt, I may not be able to come back in the evening, it's dark, you can close the door and rest." ”
"You're still young......," Merriam-Webster worried.
Although Wen Jin was angry, the relationship between them for several years was not weak, and he said anxiously: "Let your second uncle accompany you, we won't stop you from saving people, but you have to be cautious, do what you can, no, don't be reckless and offend people." ”
"Okay, second aunt, I will."
Seeing Wen Jin so deferential, Wei's mood was much better, she rolled the dough, Wen Jin made the noodles, and in two quarters of an hour, the rice was served: the standard local rice - the noodles were fried with meat and vegetables and added with water to make soup, and the noodles were good, picked into a bowl, and the rice was added on top, similar to the southern rice bowl.
Although this rice is simple, the noodles are glutenous, the vegetables are fragrant and the soup is fresh, **delicious, and it is most suitable for eating when it is cold in winter.
Wen Jin also brought a bowl and accompanied the guests to eat.
"Second uncle, I have to go with you today, after all, I am a small person and have limited knowledge......"
Qian Xiancheng listened to Wen Jin's sincere request to go together, and there was a sense of dependence in his tone, and he was in a good mood, so he hurriedly agreed.
Shi Qiwang had something in his heart, he was bored to eat, the young man had been very quiet since he entered the house, he still didn't say a word at the moment, several people ate in a hurry, Wen Jin and Qian Xiancheng changed into thick clothes, caught up with the ox cart, and set off with Shi Qiwang.
Shiwei Village is in the middle of the mountain nest to the county seat, the road is slippery after the snow, and when Wen Jin and Qian Xiancheng arrived, it was already almost dark. Shi Houwang, the master of Shiwei Village, followed the imperial army a few years ago, and the young master had an accident again, and the village was filled with a depressed and anxious atmosphere.
Wen Jin suddenly thought that at that time, the conscription, the hunters in Linjin Town were all requisitioned, this Shiwei Village has martial arts, naturally all of them will not let go, and now in the village, except for the seventeen or eighteen-year-old hairy guys who have just grown up, they are fifty or sixty years old, and there are only a few middle-aged people, who are either stupid or disabled, and there are women and children in a village.
The Hou family warmly invited them into the house, Shiwei Village should have been fine before, the houses were well repaired, Shi Houwang's house was still a small courtyard with three entrances and three rooms, their family lived in the second entrance, and Wen Jin arranged to live in the third entrance. Shi Yaozong, a young man who accompanied him all the way, arranged food and lodging for Wen Jin before and after, although he was silent, but he was very measured in his work, even a person like Qian Xiancheng who was very picky about etiquette, and he also respected Shi Yaozong.
"Yaozong, I want to walk around your village." It is important to save people, Wen Jin saw that the sky was still visible, so he made a request.
"Good!" A glimmer of light flashed in Shi Yaozong's eyes, and he said to Wen Jin respectfully, the two went out, and saw that Shi Qiwang's ox cart was still at the door, so they climbed up.
Shi Yaozong is very good at catching a car, and the two of them took a turn at the entrance of the village, turning Wen Jin's heart cool and cool. She originally thought that Shiwei Village was downstream of Weijiawan, and it should integrate more mountain streams, because the river had more water, and the transformation would be easier to carry out. But when she looked south, there was no shadow of a river with Ben, but was blocked by a screen-like stone beam.
Wen Jin returned in a wilt, tossed and turned all night, and the next day, Shi Qiwang led the way and Shi Yaozong took the lead, accompanied by Qian Xiancheng, and took a big turn in the south of Shiwei Village.
In the south of Shiwei Village, there is a stone beam, separated from the Jinhe River, this stone beam has seven or eight miles of road from east to west, it is not more than zhang high, and there is more than one mile of road in the north-south span. Although the stone beam is not big, with the technical ability of this era, it is too difficult to open up and build a channel, after all, it is pure stone, and it will take to get through it by manpower. Weijiawan has not farmed for two years, she and Wei Chenglan have tried their best, this Shiwei Village, the whole village is in battle, and it will take a year to open the canal, which is even more troublesome.
Hujiayan and Dongshe Village, the villages adjacent to Shiwei Village, have no stone beams, and they can copy the model of Weijiawan to transform, but not here, Wen Jin really wants to scold people, no, wants to scold God, why give her such a big problem.
"If Shiwei Village wants to change, you have to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, but you can neither go to pick mountain goods, have another conflict with the people of He'ao, nor can you dig herbs, but there is no endless road, you can go to cut lacquer. There are a lot of lacquer trees on our Moling Mountain, you have the force, you must be faster than ordinary people to cross the mountains and mountains, and the next tree or something, it is also stronger than ordinary people, although it is hard, but if you insist on doing it, you can ensure that the people of a village have no worries about food and clothing. ”
"The people of He'ao don't allow us to go over." Shi Qiwang said angrily.
"Since you have asked for Master Sun, why don't you let him do it and help the person who said Tongheao? I'm just afraid that you'll all go up the mountain and grab your jobs. In our Shanyang County, no one cuts paint, you are the only one, they will not stop it. ”
"We don't cut paint." Shi Qiwang said dejectedly.
Wen Jin only knew that it was an inclined opening, and the depth and width were not clear, so he had to say helplessly: "Try it a few times on the tree." Lin Jin's people make leather shoes, haven't they tried it out? There is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of those who have a heart. ”
Shi Qiwang didn't know if Wen Jin's method could rescue Shi Zhenzong, so he could only hold the mentality of giving it a try, and accompanied Wen Jin and Qian Xiancheng to the county seat with the little master Shi Yaozong.
Sun Shuangshuang thought that everyone was the same as himself, and when he saw that Qian was open-minded, Wen Jin annoyed the people in Shiwei Village, and he was inevitably beaten. Unexpectedly, Qian Wenjin didn't take a penny, and enthusiastically helped the people of Shiwei Village come up with ideas, so angry that he quietly scolded Wen Jin for being stupid.
Master Sun took the deed of the people of Shiwei Village promising not to earn mountain goods with the people of He'ao and went to Zhao Li.
Zhao Li is also an old fritter, the county magistrate can put Shi Zhenzong in prison for a few months, which is already very face-saving, and now, the people of Shiwei Village promise not to compete with the people in their hometown, and he also borrowed the donkey from the slope and happily agreed to release Shi Zhenzong.
Master Sun also wanted to be good people on both sides, and assured Zhao Li with a smile: "The people of Shiwei Village, if you don't set a good table for your brother, you won't agree to release you if you toast and suppress the shock!" ”
Zhao Li saw that he gave him face like this, and naturally he was very cooperative, the sedan chair carried people, why wouldn't he be a good person? - "The people of Shiwei Village, don't worship Lord Sun as a god, see how I clean them up when I turn around." ”
"No need, no need, as long as the people of Shiwei Village honestly don't cause trouble to our county master, I will burn high incense."
A trace of embarrassment flashed on Zhao Li's face, this trouble, but he added it, did Chen Cong have an opinion about himself? If you have an opinion, you have an opinion in vain, seeing that the county magistrate has more than half of his term, even if he will be re-elected, they will leave sooner or later, but his hometown can't make a mistake.
Zhao Li turned around and found Chen Cong, the master of Liu Quanhan's torture room, to complain: "Mr. Sun, the people of Heao fought with Shiwei Village, but they just wanted to stop other villages, and it was only because the people of Shiwei Village were strong that they bore the brunt of the attack, and now that the people of Shiwei Village have solved it, what should I do if the people from other villages still want to go up the mountain?" ”
Chen Cong frowned and thought for a long time: "Let the people in the village next to you also learn from Wei Jiawan, you have to find a way to do this." ”
Zhao Li was one head and two big: "Lord Chen, I only know how to fight and kill, what can I do?" "There are solutions, but I'm afraid no one wants to. For example, the people along the river, they guard the barren fields, and obviously they can't get much food, but if they are asked to give it up, they will definitely not be willing. In fact, if you find some big households in the county to invest some money, raise the people along the river for a year or two, let them fallow the land, and then find a way to raise pigs and sheep, fertilize the fields, and slowly raise the land back, and the future will be better. "Lord Chen, it's not that I'm talking badly, you're too wishful thinking, the ground along the river, there is a lot of sand, and the wind blows like a steamed bun, how can you gather water and fertilizer?" It's impossible to return the land. ”
