Chapter 119: Doubts
For these women, Yun Xue also knew that they didn't have any bad intentions, but they were just black spots on their mouths, which was not a big problem. And as a woman, she also understands the difficulties of these people. So these people apologized, and she didn't pursue anything more, waved her hand and said, "If you don't want to work, hurry up and set fire to the back room, that's the kang of this year's new plate, can't it be burned until midnight to get hot?" Running here to talk, can't you sleep on a cool kang at night? ”
Impatiens hurriedly took the rest of the people and ran to the house behind to light the fire.
"Eldest sister, you are really good-tempered, they just don't clean up." Yun Zhen is still angry, he hates others gossiping about his eldest sister the most. The children in the village, as soon as they heard something, he would beat them up, so that when they saw him, they hid far away.
"You, you can't change your temper. It's not easy for them, either their husbands are dead, or the men in the family are wastes. But if there is a way to live, is there a woman who is willing to run out and do this? Yun Xue squatted in front of the stove pit, and threw a piece of halberd into it, and the vegetables in the pot had already been added with soup, and it was good to stew. Second brother, not everyone can be as lucky as the eldest sister to be able to have so many people to take care of her. If it weren't for Daddy's good popularity in Shanchangzi, do you think the eldest sister would be able to come to Shanchangzi to work? The eldest sister is capable, and she has to have this opportunity. Otherwise, I would have to stay at home with you, go up to the mountains to collect firewood, and hunt. It's good to barely be hungry, where can I go to earn money to buy land for Yunlin and them to study? ”
Yun Lin was silent, he really didn't think about it, he always felt that his eldest sister was the most powerful, she could do anything, and she could earn back so much money. In Yun Zhen's heart, the eldest sister is like a mountain, which is his high admiration. In the past, when his father was here, maybe he was still young, or maybe he hadn't experienced these things, he respected his father very much, but it was different from his eldest sister.
"Eldest sister, I understand, everyone has their helplessness, and I won't look down on them in the future. However, if they are still cheap, I will still do it. Yun Zhen insisted.
"Okay, eldest sister doesn't mean that you won't fight back if you are bullied. It's just that on weekdays, don't have any opinions about people inexplicably, it's not good. But if someone bullies you, you must return it ruthlessly, don't think about it. Yun Xue smiled, she didn't want her younger brothers to be obedient, people can be gentle and calm, but they can't lose their temper. Once someone bullies themselves, they will take action when they should act, which is what normal people think. If you are bullied and don't fight back, you are either a saint or a fool. Yun Xue didn't want to be a saint or a fool, she was just a mortal.
Yun Zhen nodded, "Eldest sister, I know." ”
Haitaizi lived in the mountain field for three or four days, and then he was leaving.
"If we leave here, we have to go a long way, and I don't know what's going on with these nearby mountain farms, they're all empty. Aren't they working this year? Impatiens threw the burden on her shoulders and said with some worry.
"No, before we came here, we ran to three places, and half of them were gone. I don't know what's going on this year, can't the wooden generals eat this line of food? Pink echoed over there.
Several women walked out as they spoke, and happened to meet Yunxue head-on. "Miss Han, we're leaving, I'm really sorry about what happened a few days ago." Impatiens hurriedly said with a smile.
"My sister laughed, but it's just ordinary gossip, and it shouldn't be true." Yun Xue didn't care about this, "However, what my sister just said is that there is a mountain field empty, is it true?" Yun Xue was more interested in this, because she faintly felt that there seemed to be something strange in this.
"Isn't it? You guys moved here this year, and there are three or four mountain farms around here. When we came, we were all coming from outside, and there were three empty mountain fields along the way. There is one closest to you, but there are many people, but those people just won't let us be there, and they have kicked us out alive. Alas, this year we are also having a hard time. Impatiens didn't dare to slack off, so she told everything she knew.
Yun Xue's eyes froze, and she felt as if something flashed in her mind, but she couldn't catch it. She frowned, pondering what she had missed, but found nothing. "A few sisters, walk slowly all the way, this is also something that can't be helped, let's take a few more mountain farms to see." Yun Xue comforted them a few words.
"What else can I do? That's what we eat, so we can only go farther. Peach and the others also shook their heads and left with their burdens.
Seeing these women walking away, Yun Xue turned around and walked into the forest, she wanted to talk to Qian Mingyuan, but she always felt that there seemed to be something in it that she had ignored.
Qian Mingyuan listened to Yun Xue's words, and was also a little puzzled, "No, this is a good time for our mountain field to cut wood, how can it be empty?" I remember the last time Dong Lao came, we were still chatting together, and this year, except for the one next to us, the rest of us have invited him to preside over the sacrifice, which is strange. ”
"I don't know if my master is still in the village, has the family affairs been dealt with? If he was an old man, he might be able to figure out the trick here. Yun Xue shook her head, feeling a little uneasy in her heart, but she didn't know where the source of this uneasiness was.
"Okay, I don't want to do this, you better go back quickly, after the last drug, we have to pay attention to it." Qian Mingyuan shook his head, he couldn't figure out what was going on, he just told Yun Xue to be careful, don't do anything else.
As soon as she heard Qian Mingyuan say about the drug, Yun Xue suddenly had a bright light in her mind, "Uncle Qian, do you remember, my master said that the medicine can make people lose their minds, and then be at the mercy of others?" Yun Xue felt as if she had come into contact with something.
"That's right, that's what Dong Lao said." Qian Mingyuan looked at Yun Xue a little strangely, and found that Yun Xue's expression was a little excited.
"Uncle Qian, no one cooks alone in other mountain farms, right? That is to say, after the big guy finishes eating, he has to go up the mountain to work, wait for the mountain to come down, and then start cooking. Right? "The more Yun Xue said, the more she felt as if she was really close to the original story." If those people also go to the drug, is it possible that the people in the mountain field will be recruited? If they are all fascinated and lose their minds, is it not the person who drugged them to control them? ”
Yun Xue asked a series of questions, each of which made her feel very excited. The ultimate point of these questions may be the reason why those mountain farms are empty.
Qian Mingyuan's eyes widened, looking at Yun Xue, he opened his mouth in disbelief, and closed it for a long time, "No, what do you mean, those people drugged them in order to kidnap them, and then go to work as laborers?" "That sounds a little too incredible, doesn't it?
"I don't know, I just have this intuition. Impatiens said that they had also been to the mountain field next to us, but they were kicked out, and they were very tightly guarded, and others couldn't get in. A mountain field, it doesn't seem to need this, right? Yun Xue always felt that there must be something greasy in this.
"We have to think about it, it's a big deal. I'll ask someone to invite your master right away, the old man is well-informed, maybe he can figure it out. You go back first. Qian Mingyuan's mood was a little heavy. If this is really the case, I am afraid that after this season's work is over, those drugged wooden handles may be wiped out. The wooden handlers are very grouped, and this kind of thing he doesn't want to happen. However, how to figure out the secret and get people out is a problem.
Yun Xue also knew that the stakes were very high, and it was not something that could be concluded by saying this. You have to find out clearly, otherwise, if you run away recklessly, you will leave a handle for others. The last time, everyone killed a lot of people, because it was because of the Dongyi people, and the mountain field next to it didn't dare to make a noise. But if you don't get it right this time, I'm afraid people will have to settle the new accounts and the old accounts together.
Qian Mingyuan really sent someone to the bottom of the mountain to invite Old Man Dong. When Dong Lao came, several people discussed together for a long time, but they couldn't think of any tricks. In the end, the old man decided to explore the mountain field tonight to see if he could find some clues.
At the end of the night, the old man walked away from this side. He didn't deliberately put on any black clothes, in this mountain of snow, changing into black clothes, it was simply looking for death. On the contrary, this washed white ragged clothes, in the night, were mixed with the snow, and they couldn't be distinguished.
In the twenties of winter, there is naturally no moon. But the old man moved quickly, like a light ape, and there was no sound between his actions.
This mountain farm is very large, and there must be about a dozen houses. The old man inquired with Qian Mingyuan in advance, and knew that the outermost two houses were where the thugs lived, the four largest buildings in the middle were where the wooden handlers lived, and the smallest house at the back was where the head of the mountain field lived.
The old man took advantage of the cover of the trees and approached the house at the back of the house lightly and skillfully. The easternmost room had a window from which a faint candle shined. By the light of the candle, two figures were reflected in the window.
The old man leaned softly closer to the window and listened intently. "Young Master, it's better to do it with you, you got so many wooden handles, and you're still obedient. In the past few days, they have done several times as much work as before. Calculate it this way, and when we wait for the Chinese New Year, we can harvest enough of the amount we set for this year. ”
