Liu Yongguang looked at Brother Zhang's suspicious eyes and regretted that he was talking too much, he didn't talk much when he came before, he was afraid that he would say too much and make a mistake, probably these people would easily integrate into this harmonious atmosphere after being together for a long time.

"Yes, Brother Zhang, when I was a child, my family was fine, and my parents sent me to a private school to study for a year, and then the family's land was occupied by the landlord, and the family had no money for me to study, so I could only go to the landlord's land to work, and the income I earned all year round could not support the whole family. Otherwise, you wouldn't have gone to the north to beg for a living......"

What Liu Yongguang said is not all lies, for example, the land of his family was occupied, for example, he went to school for a year, but after the land of his family was occupied, he did not go to farm but went to join the army.

He has only studied for a year, and although he has learned a lot of words, the work in the county is a turnip and a pit, and it is difficult to find work in the county.

Liu Yongguang's words quickly touched others, many people are thinking about their own sad things, it can be said that none of the people present have not been encroached upon, even if their own fields have not been encroached upon, it is because they have no land, and their parents' generation has been encroached upon.

Brother Zhang saw that everyone was a little depressed, for fear that they would affect the progress of the work, and comforted:

"Okay, okay, don't think about it, we can escape the famine and come here, no one is sad, but it's all over, from now on our good days have begun, as long as we work hard, wait for ten years and the fields at home will be ours, and it can be regarded as leaving something for our children and grandchildren, so that they don't have to be driven around like us."

"Brother Zhang is right, come on, work hard to get the first place at the end of the month! We're going to eat meat! ”

In these years, the ancient people had sad things almost every year, or lost a son or a husband and wife, it was very common, and they had already learned to self-regulate.

Everyone also swept away the sad mood, and the tone was excited:

"We're going to eat meat!"

"Eat meat!"

"Brothers, everyone, hurry up! But don't let other teams overtake us! ”

Standing next to Liu Yongguang was Yan Jie, and the two whispered while working: "Brother Zhang's eyes are too scary, don't talk nonsense in the future, have you forgotten our identity?" ”

When Brother Zhang asked that sentence just now, Yan Jie's heart was so frightened that he forgot to beat.

Liu Yongguang was still scared in his heart, "I know, I didn't think about it at the time, and these words came out of my mouth." ”

Brother Zhang looked at the others while working, and happened to see Liu Yongguang and the others.

He pointed to the two:

"I said you two boys, don't talk to me anymore, hurry up and work, don't want to eat meat and don't want to save money to marry a daughter-in-law?"

When the others heard Brother Zhang's words, they immediately laughed, and they all knew that these two people were singles.

Liu Yongguang and the others were ashamed of their ridicule, and they didn't dare to speak anymore, but just buried their heads in hard work.

After work in the evening, the two handed over the tools in their hands together, counted them and went home together.

Liu Yongguang lay on the bed and kept thinking about the things of the past few months, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.

In the end, he simply didn't sleep, sat up directly from the bed, put on his shoes, and ran to the door of the house next to him and knocked on the door.

After a few breaths, the door opened, and Yan Jie's originally somewhat wary eyes relaxed after seeing the comer, and the dagger hidden behind his back was also put away.

"Why are you running here without sleeping in the middle of the night? It scared the hell out of me. Yan Jie complained.

Liu Yongguang's face was entangled, he rubbed his face, and said tentatively: "You say, can we change the way of living?" ”

Yan Jie's eyes moved slightly, and he gathered his mind, "What do you mean?" ”

Liu Yongguang's hand gripped the dagger behind his back, "I don't want to be a spy anymore." After he finished speaking, his eyes stared at Yan Jie, as if as long as the other party was wrong, he would not hesitate to stab the dagger.

Yan Jie was silent for a while after hearing this, "If you don't come to me today, I guess I'll look for you in a few days." ”

The dagger that Liu Yongguang was hiding behind his back relaxed slightly, but he didn't dare to put it down completely.

I only heard Yan Jie say again: "Didn't we talk about this during the day today?" Actually, I thought about it before, it's just that I feed the whole family and don't go hungry, and I don't have a family when I want to leave, but you also have a sister, don't you? If you suddenly stop doing it, your sister's family may be implicated. ”

"Also, if we don't do it, maybe the upper authorities will directly poke the information of the two of us to General Chang's side, and we won't be able to survive at that time."

When Liu Yongguang heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at Yan Jie apologetically, and secretly hid the dagger again.

The two actually didn't have much intersection before, but after they came here together to be spies, the same fate made them have a little more friendship, and then they had the experience of working on the construction site together, and they talked more, so there was friendship between the two, but it was not the kind of relationship that absolutely trusted each other.

"I've thought about it, I've been thinking about it tonight when I can't sleep. The two of us say it's a spy, but I don't think there's much hope for the two of us, otherwise we wouldn't have been without contact for so long. ”

"As for my sister's side, I think so, let's go and surrender to Mr. Ning together, and don't we know about the White Lotus Sect? We also reported this matter, and we should take credit for it, although we are spies, but in fact, there has been no news, plus the credit of the White Lotus Sect, even if there is no merit, presumably Mr. Ning will not embarrass us again. ”

Liu Yongguang's eyes were bright when he said this.

"When we explain clearly to Mr. Ning and make sure that there is no danger, I will secretly go and take my sister's family over, and when the court finds out, we will have no choice." What do you say? ”

Yan Jie pondered for a moment, Ning Changrong's reputation in Taixi County is very good, he loves the people, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the water tank on the construction site is always full; If he encounters someone who does evil or oppresses the people, he will never shield anyone.

is still General Chang's trusted confidant, if Ning Changrong opens his mouth to intercede for them, then it is not impossible to solve the matter of them being spies.

It's just that they are spies, and he can't be sure in his heart whether it will really be possible to offset the merits by reporting those people from the White Lotus Sect, even if they have never sent out any useful news.

Although Chang Yuan led the troops out this time, although he didn't say how many people he brought out, they also stayed in the army for a few years, and knew that the defense of Taixi County must be very empty, otherwise there would be no noise in the first few days.

But they didn't get the news out, and although the two didn't discuss, they both chose to remain silent.
