"What do you mean by that, village warriors, we are very welcome!" Xue Zongqi grinned and smiled so unhappily.

Look, his hard work was not in vain, and arranging people to train really paid off.

Was he moved by the wounded soldiers he sent?

Master Tian interrupted his amorous reverie at the right time: "This matter is sooner rather than later, what does Mr. Xue think?"

Xue Zongqi nodded again and again: "It's faster, but Lao Tian, let's talk about other things...... For example, the captured horses, cattle and sheep, and the heads of Beirong......

Master Tian had a warm face: "This time the border army is the main force, we are all assisting from the side, the main and secondary are clear, there will be no confusion, it is still too early to say that the capture is too early, the battle situation is changing rapidly, and the result is unpredictable, why don't we meet and discuss afterwards?"

Yan Lao Er said to the side: "Brother Xue, it is useless for the official government and our village to have military merits, the number of heads must be yours, and the same is true for the war horses, last time those horses were left for the people in our village to toss and break, and they were almost not supplied to them, they are all for you, it just so happens that the border army is not short of horses, if it goes well, it should be able to recover some of the grain that was robbed before, this Brother Xue should not fight with the officials, now the tiger barn has to send a lot of grain every day, the pressure is quite high, as for the cattle and sheep, I don't know how much I can drive back, I can't really figure it out.

It's not the first time we've dealt with each other, and Brother Xue also knows that our village is a group of honest leaders, and there are no crooked hearts, and there will be nothing to say if there are more or less.

In the final analysis, whether it is the border army, the official office, or our Xiao'an Village, close the door, aren't we all tigers, we are all our own people!

The border army is closer to our Xiao'an Village, isn't this going to move to the edge of our village, alas, speaking of which, Brother Xue, when will your military camp move over? The people in our village are looking forward to it, and they are still thinking about whether you don't have enough manpower, if you don't dislike it, what will we do in the village, we can't do anything else, even if we hand over the rough work of moving and lifting, we have a car in the village, and we can take a handle."

Master Tian listened with a smile and couldn't help nodding.

Military exploits and war horses.

These two things are indeed what Xue Zongqi values.

In comparison, although he also cares about grain, cattle and sheep, he doesn't care too much.

This matter could not be done without the border army, and the main force should not give in.

In this case, as a superior, what is wrong with fighting for more benefits for his subordinates? He was sure he wouldn't give up too much.

However, Yan Er is right, it is too early to say these words at the moment, no matter how much is seized, it is not from under his nose in the end, when he gives an order, he can detain it at the pass, and how to distribute it is not up to him to have the final say.

The smile on Xue Zongqi's face became brighter and brighter, and it was so hot to talk to the second brother Yan.

Sending people away, Yan Lao Er turned back.

Master Tian laughed and said, "Just listen to this Xue Zongqi's words, don't listen to his promise, it's not a simple matter to pick things from him."

Yan Lao Er snorted: "Isn't this a coincidence, teacher, and so are your students!"

……

"Dad, try the mushroom soup I made, well, the temperature is just right now." Yan Yu took a bowl and handed it to her father.

Yan Lao Er glanced at the food box prepared next to him and asked, "This is for your master?"

"Hmm!" Yan Yu opened the food box, and a bamboo tube stood in the corner, supported by two wooden sticks, and a small crispy fish, a plate of pickles, two steamed buns, and an empty bowl were placed in it.

"Heng'er, you go and send it, I'll eat." Yan Lao Er said.

Yan Xiangheng responded, packed up the food box, and walked away steadily.

Yan Lao Er drank a bowl of soup in one go.

complained: "That Xue Zongqi can really live in vain."

He bit the steamed bun and said, "You go back to the village to count the number of people, and let someone tell me that when Xue Zongqi sets a date, our village will have to leave in advance, are you sure you want to go from the mountains?"

"Walk the mountain road in advance to let the big guy get used to it." Yan Yu nodded.

Yan Lao Er

After thinking about it, he said, "It's good to say when you go, and when you come back, you go out of the mountain in advance, let's discuss a place to meet, and I will prepare more forage to save you from finding it in the mountains."

Yan Yuxing's eyes: "Dad, you are really thoughtful, isn't it, the most difficult thing for me and Fourth Uncle Qi all the way back is to feed the cows, it is only one, if we bring back more, we may not be able to provide them with food if we all go out to find them."

"This location has to be more partial, you take the forage and continue to return to the village from the mountains, Beirong doesn't know how many girls have been released in Guanzhou, our village has to be careful, don't let them target it." Yan Lao Er admonished.

"In that case, let's prepare our own forage." Yan Yu thought about it seriously and said, "Dad, it's quite conspicuous for you to find someone to prepare, why don't we come by ourselves, Grandpa Luo has saved a lot of forage, which just comes in handy."

"You know how hay is compressed, right?" Yan Lao happened to be pinching a steamed bun on his second-hand hand, and with a hard pinch, he changed from a large one to a small group. "That thing doesn't sink, it just occupies a place, and you can bring more if you press it well in the village."

Yan Yu nodded repeatedly.

"The mushroom soup is so fresh, my family's Dabao has good craftsmanship, this is a winter mushroom, right?" Yan Lao Er, chirp, chirp, pout.

Yan Yu: "Dad, do you know? I asked Mama Rong that she could eat it, so I took the people in the village to pick it, it's quite a big piece, I remember that place, and I'll go and see it if I'm okay in the future, hehe!"

"Just remember the place, it's a good thing, it's nutritious, as long as it's not cold, the sun will come out, be lighter, don't destroy the area, you can harvest some from time to time." How can Yan Lao Er not recognize that this winter mushroom is not planted, it is all wild, as long as it is affected by these two words, everything will be expensive.

"By the way, are your Boy Scouts going to go this time?" Yan Lao Er asked.

"That's for sure! But don't worry, Dad, the young ones will definitely not bring them, and they will be in trouble if they are drilling in the mountains and lying in the snow." Yan Yu said.

Yan Laoer: "It's good that you have a spectrum in your heart."

……

The people of Xiao'an Village reacted strongly to the incident of going over the mountain to Beirong.

During Yan Yu's absence, the people of Xiao'an Village didn't even pick up firewood, and the Yan family's firewood and charcoal business had no harvest in the village today.

The big guys have their own accounts in their hearts.

What kind of firewood, what firewood.

Can you go to Beirong to grab cattle and sheep to make money?

The village chief Luo took out the bamboo crossbow with people and checked them one by one, and the iron arrows that were built unremittingly during this time also had a place to use, and the whole village worked together to install the iron arrows on the straight bamboo and wood every minute.

For example, Hu Er, a crossbow shooter who is good at it, has prepared some long arrows separately, the wood is solid and heavy, and with a strong bow, the range is extremely long.

When the village produces grain, Aunt Wang takes the grandmothers in the village to spread pancakes, bake flatbread, and steam steamed buns.

Now this day, I can let go of everything and don't worry about it breaking.

Just on the road, you have to walk for many days, and you have to prepare your food early, so that you don't have time to do it in front of you.

The people in the village also spontaneously changed the car.

They all pulled their cars and gathered in the courtyard of Qi's house.

This is the experience of escaping the famine.

It is not good for large carts to go on mountain roads, and two-wheeled carts are the best, and they can be pulled and pushed by hand.

Although Qi Si didn't understand what he learned, he couldn't stand them asking over and over again, and finally a few village elders summed it up, there are two most important points, one is to keep warm, and the other is to eat.

It's not impossible to find firewood in the mountains for heating, it's everywhere, but it can delay the effort, Xiao Er and Qi Si brought charcoal on the road, so they also brought it.

Eat also depends on what Xiao Er has prepared, frozen meat, dried vegetables, big cakes or something, the stove must be brought, the pot must also be there, when the time comes, boil a pot of hot water, throw the meat and vegetables in, sprinkle some salt and live, in Qi Si's words, the soup is the best, it can be drunk as water, and it is not afraid of dry food frozen.

And then there's the rope.

This is indispensable for cattle and sheep.

Village Chief Luo asked everyone to go home and take out the ropes, tie them one by one, tie them in one place, be long or long, or untie them short.

The head of the village worked and practiced with a rake

Archery of archery, there is also a part of the Guan butcher with the hard practice of the ferrule, the big stone wafting a strong fragrance of rice and flour, the children jump up and down, one will go to the forest to climb the tree, one will be on the ground chrysalis...... It is said to be creeping forward.

When Yan Yu came back, it was already dark.

Torches are lit at the big rock, and the hall is lively and bright.

She was really stunned!

I really didn't expect the people in the village to be so active and have such strong execution ability.

Except for the forage, they did the rest of the preparation automatically......

"Little Er! What did your dad say? Shall we go?" Village Chief Luo's question was filled with deep anticipation.

"I can go!" Yan Yu replied crunchyly.

I saw that the uncles in the village all clenched their fists with happy faces, and after looking at each other, the fists landed and smashed against each other.

Cries of joy, cries of pain, coughing of breath, and excited screams of children...... Echoes in this village that should be quiet and peaceful.

[In view of the general environment,

Yan Yu said that he was going to prepare forage, and asked the big dog brother and the little dog brother to go to his yard to find the square wooden box that Uncle Qi had made for her family before, and carry it over.

She gave a demonstration of compressed forage.

Pour the hay into it vigorously, point it up, and then find the smaller board and press it down, and press it down with both hands.

The results are immediate.

There is only a thin layer of wood board, and the forage is pressed very strongly, and this is repeated several times, and this box of forage is pressed and poured out, boxy and very regular.

She pressed another one.

Stack two large squares of hay together.

Steadily, except for the grass clippings at the edges, the shape of the block is very well maintained.

Such a demonstration was understood by everyone in the village, which was very intuitive and easy to understand.

Even the wooden boxes are ready-made.

So what else is there to say, let's get started!

Village Chief Luo immediately called for someone to bring all the forage stored in the village.

was urgently stopped by Yan Yu.

"Grandpa Luo, it's late today, let's do it again tomorrow, I see that you guys next to me are almost ready, it's almost this point, it's not too late."

Village Chief Luo was very resolute, and so were several village elders.

I hate to live.

"It doesn't take much effort, what are you going to do until tomorrow, while the people are together, press it out now, and count how many pieces there are tomorrow, so that it can be loaded in a separate car when the time comes." Village Chief Luo said.

Yes, Yan Yu didn't stop this call.

「…… Your father is right, we can't be too eye-catching, walking from the mountains, we don't feel bitter or tired, we can really pull the cattle and sheep back, we are beautiful in our hearts, and we are full of energy." Village Chief Luo laughed so hard that his eyes were gone.

"How many people have been counted here, tell my father, he will discuss with Xue Zongqi what to do, and he will definitely have to come back when the time comes, and tell us how to cooperate."

Old man Song nodded again and again: "No, no, we'll do whatever you want us to do." He asked uncertainly, "Little Er, really let us bring back the cattle and sheep?" Don't they pull?"

He asked about the two groups of border soldiers and officials.

The others also pricked up their ears, for fear of missing Xiao Er's answer.

Yan Yu smiled brightly: "Grandpa Song, the border army attaches more importance to military merit and horses, these two things, we can't rob them, and there are not many of them, about forty or fifty people, and they can't pull them in, and there are few officials, so let's pull these cattle and sheep, but it's not all ours, and we have to discuss with them afterwards how to divide it......

Old man Song hurriedly said, "Understood! Understand! Let's pull it back and put it in one place, find someone to watch, and make sure that there is no one."

Old man Kang coughed, and the big guy looked at him.

The old man said slowly, "As soon as the border army makes a move, the cattle and sheep will scatter and run around when they are frightened, and we can't catch much.

It is better to be in the pen at night, when the cattle and sheep are in the pen."

Yan Yu nodded first, then shook his head, and said, "Let's talk about this

No, it must be Xue Zongqi who has the idea, I will send a message to my father and ask him to talk to Xue Zongqi and see what they decide in the end.

"Also, we must go on the road in advance, and we will go back tonight to discuss it, and tell me the name tomorrow morning."

Before the gang dispersed, Yan Yu gathered the boy scouts again, saying that there was no children's share in this operation.

The children were so angry that their faces were red and filled with righteous indignation.

"Why don't you let us go, Xiao Er, didn't you say it, although we are young, we are better than adults, our training, adults do it? And archery, they are not as good as us."

"I know all of that." Yan Yu tried his best to reassure everyone: "But this is the season now, when the weather is warm, I will definitely take everyone there when I have the opportunity."

The Cui family kid seemed to be whispering: "Little Er, you can go, why can't we, you are still a ......."

Wang Dalong was quick with his hands and feet, and he happened to be next to him, so he quickly blocked his mouth.

Yan Yu's eyes narrowed.

This is Ming Huanghuang's challenge to her authority!

The Cui family kid wants to say, you are still a girl, you can go, why can't we?

Hehe, he's afraid that he thinks in his heart that the kid is in better health than the girl, and he is not easy to get sick.

The weather is cold and the ground is freezing, and everyone is treated equally.

It doesn't matter if you're a kid or a girl, you should get frostbitten.

She relied on, they didn't.

"Why can I go? Don't you know?" Her gaze swept over each child's face.

The expression is very serious, the little face is tense, and it looks very imposing, so that people ignore her age.

"If any of you have my strength, you can go!" She pointed to the two shaky grass squares, very domineering declarations.
