Chapter 60: Let Him Live Farther Away
"It worked!"
"Really, the locusts are all dead!"
"Great......"
The next step is to put the finishing touches on.
The villagers carried a large bag of locusts that had been sprayed half-dead by the medicine and came to Shen Yunqing, "Miss Qing, this is ...... What should I do? ”
After all, he was convinced of the statement that the gods had descended to sin, and he did not dare to make his own assertions.
Their willingness to work together to deal with locusts is already the greatest courage.
"If they are burned directly, do you still have to find a place to bury them?"
This kind of locust can't be eaten, except for being able to light a fire as firewood, it seems that it really has no other use.
Seeing her say this, everyone carried it away.
At this time, it was time for dinner, and the villagers of Lanqiao Village were no longer as closed as yesterday, and every household cooked their meals early and invited these people who lived in the ancestral hall to eat.
Shen Yunqing, as the leader of the killing of locusts, was invited to his home by Uncle Gan, and the Lin family took Yunjiao, followed by Yang Xiu, and Nangong Qiao and several people were also invited.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a table full of dishes, but there were more vegetarian dishes, and the only meat dishes were one or two meat dishes, which were also salted meat and marinated meat.
It can be seen that Uncle Gan took out his best things to entertain the nobles, but the crops were persecuted by locusts, and the grain was requisitioned by the imperial court, and the villagers of Lanqiao Village were not having a good time.
Shen Yunqing knew all this, she accepted Uncle Gan's kindness and sat down.
On her left hand sat Lin and Yang Xiu, Lin was holding Yun Jiao, and there was an empty seat on her right hand.
When Zilin and his grandfather came in, he saw the seat next to Shen Yunqing, thinking that no one was sitting, and pulled his grandfather in this direction.
Who knew that Nangong Qiao behind him was the first to ascend, he had long legs, crossed Zilin in three or two steps, gently pulled out the chair and sat down calmly, and smiled at Zilin: "I'm sorry, I like this seat more." ”
Zilin was originally a scholar, he was thin, and he was shocked by Nangong Qiao's momentum, he smiled stupidly, didn't say much, and walked towards the table next to him.
Nangong Qiao was not idle after sitting down, taking advantage of Shen Yunqing's conversation with Uncle Gan, he took Shen Yunqing's dishes and chopsticks and wiped them carefully, the skillful action seemed to be like this often, and Uncle Gan on the opposite side was stunned.
He thought that after his hard work yesterday to make a dish for Shen Yunqing, the relationship between the two was one step closer.
At the dinner table, except for eating and serving Shen Yunqing vegetables, he didn't speak.
"The locusts are coming in swarms, now that the locusts have been hunted, Uncle Gan, you can take advantage of the good weather and the rice to ripen, and seize the time to harvest it." Shen Yunqing saw that the rice in the field was almost ripe.
The early harvest can still drop a little food in the pocket, this time she is detaining the officers and soldiers, I don't know when the next batch of officers and soldiers will come again.
Shen Yunqing didn't say these words explicitly, but Uncle Gan naturally understood what she meant.
After resisting the officers and soldiers requisitioning food and hunting locusts, Uncle Gan is now basically saying nothing to Shen Yunqing.
"What Miss Shen said is, I have seen that the weather is good for a few days, and I am going to gather the villagers to collect grain together, if you are not in a hurry, just wait a few days, and then bring some food to eat on the road."
Shen Yunqing listened to Uncle Gan's words, and saw Nangong Qiao picking up vegetables for herself, she said: "There is no need for food, we have prepared some food in Yangcheng before, but I want to recuperate in your village for a few days." ”
She tied up Zhang Dali, worried that the officers and soldiers would send people to the village to make trouble, and she also wanted to see what King Ning was doing, and she needed such an endless collection of grain.
As she spoke, she looked down at the mountains of vegetables piled up in the bowl, and she couldn't laugh or cry.
Uncle Gan naturally welcomed, "This is no problem, the ancestral hall is not big enough, I will arrange it, every villager has more or less vacant rooms in the house, it is better than in the ancestral hall." ”
Nangong Qiao listened on the side, and interjected coldly: "We live in the ancestral hall, it's good." ”
What he said "we" was vague, whether it was him, or him and Shen Yunqing, or all the people who came with them.
Uncle Gan didn't understand Nangong Qiao's meaning for a while, and his hand stretched out in mid-air to prepare to pick up vegetables paused, looked at Nangong Qiao, and asked Shen Yunqing with his eyes.
Only then did Shen Yunqing realize that something was wrong with Nangong Qiao, she turned her head to the side of Nangong Qiao, and asked in a low voice: "There are so many people living in the ancestral hall, it is inconvenient for them to eat and live, and there are babies who need to drink milk!" ”
Nangong Qiao: "I didn't say anything about them, you can arrange them by yourself, I mean me and you." ”
This "you" are naturally Shen Yunqing and her mother's sister.
"Don't include that Zilin, let him live far away."
"......" Shen Yunqing: "Did he offend you?" ”
"Hmm!" Nangong Qiao took a bite of the dish and ate it slowly, his face expressionless.
Shen Yunqing couldn't understand that Zilin was a scholar and never communicated too much with people, and this time he also mustered up the courage to volunteer to help catch locusts, how could he offend Nangong Qiao?
Shen Yunqing felt that Zilin joined the escape team mostly because of himself, so he couldn't bear to say: "He and his grandfather, an old man and a weak scholar, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to go to other people's homes." ”
Nangong Qiao raised his eyebrows: "Then it's convenient to live in the ancestral hall?" ”
Shen Yunqing tried to continue to persuade him: "There are still a few empty rooms in the ancestral hall!" ”
Nangong Qiao: "Since you want him to live in the ancestral hall so much, then vacate a family for me to live in, I won't live with him." ”
Shen Yunqing felt that he was making trouble unreasonably, how could there be any reason to drive the host out and the guests to live in?
In the end, he didn't do this, and Zilin and his grandfather were invited away by Uncle Gan.
Only Shen Yunqing's family was left in the ancestral hall, as well as Nangong Qiao and Hu Ran.
Several people were divided into four rooms, one room for Shen Yunqing and Yang Xiu, and one room for Lin and Yunjiao.
Hu Ran and Nangong Qiao each live in one.
Nangong Qiao lived next door to Shen Yunqing, and Hu Ran said that he had a room to live in, and he didn't dare to really sleep to death.
He was almost burned by Uncle Gan and them the night before, which gave him more eyes.
And those old units of the Yunlin Army kept vigil in batches, and a bonfire was lit outside the lobby of the ancestral hall.
"There's something I don't understand...... Nangong Qiao stood outside Shen Yunqing's door.
Shen Yunqing stopped taking off his clothes and went to sleep, and he was a little suspicious that he hadn't closed the door just now?
"What's the matter?"
Nangong Qiao: "The one you put in the ditch they dug...... Hand wood left a bow sheet. ”
"Huh? What's wrong? ”
"I remember I wanted to take a look, and you said that only one of them was blown up by you!"
Shen Yunqing: How did "......" forget this stubble?
She looked behind Yang Xiu and saw Yang Xiu looking at them in a daze.
She took out some strange things from time to time along the way, especially the handwood warehouse and the handwood bow slip, what she said to Lin and Yang Xiu was.
It was made by herself using the special ore in the mountains.
But these obviously can't be hidden from Nangong Qiao.
