Fu Chang thought that when the rice was harvested, he would arrange for a group of young people to go out of the mountain, not only to buy supplies, but also to inquire about the news outside.

The old man was very afraid that Fu Chang would leave, so he hurriedly asked, "Does the county gentleman want to lead the team?" ”

Fu Chang shook his head, "No, let Zisong lead the team out." ”

Fu Yong, the word Song, Fu Chang just gave him the word not long ago, and if he took the word, he is an adult.

The old man was relieved when he heard this, Fu Chang didn't think about leaving them behind, so he said "the county gentleman is wise", turned around and went to cut soybeans.

Fu Chang was the commander of Heyin County before he fled, and the city of Heyin was broken, so he could only flee with the people for his life, but he was torn apart when he fled, plus there were refugees from other places rushing, and in the end, there were few people in Heyin who were still with him.

Although there are not many, they can prove Fu Chang's identity here, so they are called Fu Chang County Jun, and everyone also calls them.

But Fu Chang has always wanted to excuse himself.

But everyone knows that Fu Chang is the only one among them who has the ability to take them to live in the deep mountains, so they are willing to let him go, so everyone calls him County Jun.

This is just a village with only thirty-nine households, and he is now a village head, but everyone still calls him "county gentleman, county gentleman".

Fu Yong's shoes broke halfway through, and he could only hold straw sandals in one hand, while carefully avoiding the thorns on the ground, "Father, today is the eighth day of the seventh month of the fifth year of Yongjia." ”

Fu Chang frowned, "Our beans were planted too late, and the temperature in the mountains was lower than outside, so the bean harvest was delayed at this time." ”

"I see that the ears of rice are already hanging low, and they are full to the touch, as long as the sun is good in the next half month, it should be able to turn yellow." After the leaves start to turn yellow, it will take at least half a month to harvest.

In this way, the rice harvest time is indeed later than that outside.

"Or because there are too few farm tools," Fu Chang raised his eyes and looked, many people did not have a sickle, nor a stone knife, so they uprooted the soybeans by hand, which was not only inefficient, but also consumed energy, he lowered his eyes and thought, last year's rice harvest was very hard, and the previous wheat harvest was also, many people were pulled by hand.

"In this way, don't wait for the autumn harvest, go back tonight and prepare, select fifteen people, and you will go out of the mountain with you," Fu Chang said: "You are mainly going to buy farm tools and seeds, and then inquire about the news of the imperial court, and come back before the first day of the eighth month." ”

It was just in time for the autumn harvest.

Twenty days should be enough, but ......

"Father, we don't have any money."

Fu Chang said: "You bring some things out to barter." ”

But what can they give in exchange?

In addition to food, there are only some medicinal herbs found from the mountains, furs of wild beasts, bones and other things.

The whole village moved, and they packed basket after basket of things for them.

Fu Yong was very worried, "If we encounter homeless people or rebellious soldiers when we go out of the mountain, we won't be eaten alive with so many things?" ”

"You're stupid, can't you run if you can't beat it?" Fu Chang said: "You don't have to pity things, you can protect as much as you can, and if you can't protect it, you will throw it all away, your life is at stake, in short, how many people you take out, you have to bring as many people back." ”

Fu Yong responded with a serious face.

Fu Chang took out more than a hanging of copper coins and a piece of jade pendant in front of everyone and gave it to him, "This is the last money in the family, you buy more pen, ink, paper and inkstone, this jade pendant is done, buy a hoe for the family, and buy two sickles." ”

Their family has a sickle, and Fu Chang exchanged food for another family when he first entered the mountain.

When the villagers saw it, they immediately took the hand of their son\nephew who was going out of the mountain and went home to discuss, and those who didn't have a son\nephew went out of the mountain came directly to Fu Yong, took out the family's savings and said: "This is the money we saved before entering the mountain, and it is useless in this mountain, please help us bring some things." ”

Most of them ask for farm tools, but the most requested are needles and threads.

At present, many people in the mountains have made needles with some animal bones and teeth, but they are very thick and not easy to use.

They still prefer the outside needle.

Fu Yong's memory was far less good than that of his father, so he could only find a piece of paper that had been used and write down their requirements in the empty space in the corner.

Fu Chang was relieved to see him so attentive, but he couldn't help but sigh, "It would be nice if Da Lang was here, he could never forget it." ”

Fu Hong, who was on the side, was unhappy when he heard it, "But it's my brother here, and the smart cousin is still keeping filial piety to his in-laws and grandfathers in Yuzhou." ”

Fu Chang glared at him, "You can't have a family if you want to, if we stay in the mountains for a lifetime, you won't be able to marry a daughter-in-law in your life." ”

Fu Hong opened his mouth wide.

Fu Chang frowned and pondered, "Zhao Hanzhang is quite powerful in Yuzhou, calculate the time, they have already been filial piety now, I am afraid that they have already married, Zisong, after going out, see if you can find a merchant who goes to Yuzhou, please ask them to help send a letter, so as to tell Da Lang where we are now." ”

"Alas, I don't know what happened to Luoyang, how is Your Majesty, how is your grandfather?" Fu Chang didn't have much hope for Fu Yi in his heart, he knew his father's intentions, seeing that the Hun army was menacing, Luoyang was empty, most of them couldn't be saved, if something happened to the emperor, his father would probably be martyred.

There are also eldest brothers and sisters-in-law, they are trapped in Chang'an, where there is a food shortage, and they also don't know life and death.

There are also the third and fourth brothers who went out to study, before Heyin was breached, they hadn't been in touch for more than a year, and I don't know if they were safe.

Fu Chang was full of worries, and he was in no mood to educate his son.

His words aroused Fu Hong's leftism, and he immediately buzzed around him, "I'm going out too!" See if I can find you a daughter-in-law. ”

Fu Chang waved his hand irritably: "Go, go, there are either refugees or rebels outside, where are you going to find your daughter-in-law?" ”

"Why not? No matter how chaotic it is, there will always be gentry and dock castles, right? Maybe there is a little lady who sees that I look good and wants me to be a gentleman? Fu Hong threatened: "Be careful that I will be a son-in-law for others." ”

Fu Chang touched his beard and said, "If you can survive outside, it's not bad to be a son-in-law." ”

Fu Hong was stunned, "You don't mind?" ”

"What do I mind? The big hero doesn't ask where he comes from, in today's troubled times, as long as people can live, I don't care what method you use. Fu Chang said this and added a condition, "There must be no violation of humanity." ”

Humanity, that is, the most basic principle of human life.

Fu Chang said: "Now that beasts are rampant, but you have to be human, if you don't even do it, kill yourself as soon as possible, and don't tell others that you are from the Fu clan in the north." ”

When Fu Yong and Fu Hong heard this, they immediately responded seriously.

After responding, Fu Hong said a little unconvinced: "Father, do you think we look like people who don't behave?" ”

Fu Chang boasted: "Naturally, it's not like that, I'll just say that, you write it down, and teach it to future generations in the future." ”

Fu Hong became happy at this time, "Then Father, did you promise me to follow Brother out of the mountain?" ”

Fu Chang hesitated for a moment, looking at the excitement and anticipation on his youngest son's face, he still nodded.

Good night
