Chapter 720: Good News Arrives
Zhang's heart was weak and he didn't want to mention it more, so he went in twice to weigh the meat. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Hu stood beside Wu and let Xiao Zhuang touch his belly, it is said that letting the male baby touch his belly more when he is pregnant can ensure that he will give birth to a handle.
Yamato's daughter-in-law looked at Hu's round belly and felt that she must be pregnant with a female baby, but she didn't want to offend people by saying this, but pointed to a few old and young people sitting under the big locust tree, they looked at their braised meat shop's eyes, green and faint, which made her feel uneasy, so she continued to say to Wu, "There are more and more refugees coming these days, but you have to let your father-in-law think of a way, if it goes on like this, the grass on the side of the road in our village will have to be gnawed by them." ”
These refugees are all affected by drought in other counties, the poor clang, the wild grass that can be eaten on the roadside has been pulled out by them, and the melons and vegetables planted in the fields of Beigou Village have not been lost. At the beginning, everyone in the village knew about the difficulties of the victims, and although this year's vegetables were expensive, they picked them to survive, so they turned a blind eye and closed one eye, as long as there was enough left for their own food. But as the number of victims increased, and the hands became longer and longer, the villagers complained.
Wu also felt annoyed, her family Liangxiu was sent by her father-in-law to patrol the village, and she didn't rest for several nights, "What can be done, there is a city gate in the county, and there are officers and soldiers guarding the city gate, they can't get in, and there is no gate in our village, can you still stop them from entering?" ”
Hu Shi said proudly, "Who let us have Shenlong Water in our village, these people are all here in the name of Shenlong Water." ”
Huang County is mountainous and has few fields, and Zi County and Ji County are just the opposite, so Huang County is poorer and weaker than the two counties. However, in this year's drought, Liu Zhixian led the villagers to bring water out of the mountains from four places, saving the crops of 35 villages in the county and saving everyone's lives. After eating up the food stored at home, eating away wild vegetables and leaves and bark, the people had to shed tears and close their doors, leaving their homes to beg for their lives.
Without land, people who run away from home have no confidence, their shoulders are slumped, and their eyes are panicked, with flattery and pleading. In front of these people, Hu, who was full of food and drink and occasionally ate meat, felt that he was very powerful and proud. Because, only when she sees that others are not as good as her, can Hu feel happy and feel that she is very happy.
Yamato's daughter-in-law didn't understand Hu's mood of looking down on the victims, she only felt that it would definitely not work like this, and she couldn't sleep at night.
That day, the gang was so hungry that they took off the door of their house and ate the meat from the butcher's shop. There are also sisters-in-law Niu and sister-in-law and two sisters-in-law who are also worried.
The eighth mother-in-law and the second sister-in-law sighed in front of Lan Yi with Yue Yuan'er in her arms, "I saw that such a young child could only drink wild vegetable soup, and I really couldn't bear it, so I gave him half a steamed bun." Since then, every day when the chimney of the house smokes, more than a dozen children gather at the gate, looking into the house with their eyes open, and I can't eat. Brother and sister, it's not that the second sister-in-law is stingy, there are so many people, I can't afford to raise them. You see, it's only been a few days, and the flesh on my chin is gone. ”
Sister-in-law Niu was worried about the store, "There are two families at the door of the grocery store, and I don't dare to stare at it, I always feel that there are fewer things in the shop." Brother and sister, you have a good brain, but you have to think of a good way, if you go down, you are afraid that these people will be hungry and rush to smash and rob, and then it will be too late. ”
Li Zheng also had no good way, and the first thing they thought of was to ask Lan Yi for advice, because her brain was better than anyone else's.
Lan Yi also found that the number of people wandering in the village suddenly increased. It is not yet July, and the drought has eased in October, but by then it has already entered winter, which means that there will be heavy snow in winter this year. Heavy snowfall can only make the victims more hungry and cold, and if they are not properly arranged, they may become mobs who only want to rob, destroy and destroy.
"This is not something that our village can solve, we have to think of countermeasures for Lord Liu and Lord Zhao, and all we can do now is to protect ourselves." Lan Yi also had no good plan, so she could only persuade the two of them to rest assured, "Li Zheng went to the yamen for a few days in a row, thinking that he was discussing this matter, let's wait for the news with peace of mind." The two sisters-in-law can rest assured that Lord Liu is resourceful and must have a way. ”
Seeing them off, Lan Yi took Wen Xuan to take a nap on the bamboo bed.
Lan Yi is also worried about the treasures in her field, the peony garden and the slope have hired people to guard it day and night, but fortunately, her slope is now also a treasure in the eyes of Lord Liu, and she has sent six servants with knives to take turns to help guard it, and Shui Xiu can finally spare her hands and be arranged by her to do other things.
"Dangdang, dangdang, dangdang, dangdang!" The big bell of the old locust tree in the village was ringed rhythmically, which meant that Zhao Li was about to summon the whole village to a meeting.
Jia Shi came out of the pharmacy and said to Lan Yi, who was sitting on the bamboo bed under the locust tree and telling Wenxuan a story, "Shui Xiu is not at home, you are not in good health, shall I go?" ”
Lan Yi was about to nod, but heard the sound of a dog barking, Yu Yan brought Zhao Liangxiu in, and specially invited Lan Yi to the village for a meeting, "Dad knows that it is inconvenient for the second sister-in-law to go over, but I have to trouble you to go, there are some things that need you to make up your mind." ”
Lan Yi nodded, took Wen Xuan and Yu Yan, and went to the village for a meeting.
Although it is said that the whole village is called for a meeting, except for those who take turns to guard the village, everyone has left someone to guard the door, and the broken house is worth ten thousand, and there are too many people outside the village, who dares to lock it, so only one hundred and fifty or sixty people came.
It was more than a hundred people, and the courtyard of the village was also crowded, Zhao Li was standing at the door of the house with a red face, and there were six chairs on the left and right, Lan Yi took Wen Xuan to the chair next to Old Man Zhou and sat down.
Wen Xuan obediently called "Master". Old Man Zhou replied with his nose, and then started training, "People are crowded, what are you doing here?" "Lan Yi is sitting here, it is a great challenge to his status as the patriarch.
Zhao Lizheng turned his head and explained to Old Man Zhou, "I asked Wei Ji's daughter-in-law to come over." After speaking, he said to Lan Yi, "Just a few things, it will be done soon." ”
Lan Yi smiled and nodded.
Zhao Liangxiu walked over, "Dad, I just ordered, everyone who should come is here." ”
Zhao Lizheng nodded, and announced loudly with joy, "There are four main things to say when you gather everyone today. This is a great thing: the holy decree has come down, and there is no need to pay this year's rent in Dengzhou! ”
"Not only summer grain, but also autumn grain?" Zhou Manchu asked cautiously, for fear that he had heard it wrong, since the summer harvest of Mangzhong, the people in the village have hung their hearts, waiting for the news of rent-free, and they really have to wait, but it is still double, which makes them suspect that it is in a dream.
