Only then did he notice that the whole camp was very quiet, as if he was alone! This made him feel strange and walked to the other tents. When he opened the nearest tent and saw that Zhang Peilan and Wang Xinyi were sleeping soundly, he knew that everyone was sleeping.

Then he walked around all the tents, and when he heard the snoring inside, he knew that these people were probably just as tired as he was, and they were all making up for sleep. So he walked around the room with nothing to do.

When he reached the back of the camp, he found that everything that needed to be disposed of had already been disposed of. The wagon was already full of things, and the tent was ready to go the next morning. When he walked behind, he found that the two cows were still there, and it seemed that the villagers had not led them away and killed them.

Liu Haojia easily added some forage to the two cows and turned back to the front, and as soon as he arrived at the front, he encountered Wang Xinyi coming out of the tent with his waist on his back, standing there twisting and twisting. Liu Haojia commanded: "Call everyone up and let them also move!" ”

In Wang Xinyi's shouting, everyone got out of the tent, and then twisted their bodies in unison, complaining loudly that they didn't sleep comfortably, and said what they would do when they returned to Beijing!

At this time, Wang Xinyi rubbed his stomach and said, "It's been a day's sleep, don't you feel hungry?" I'm starving! ”

It's good that he didn't say this, but as soon as he said it, everyone felt extremely hungry! Zhang Peilan said: "I wonder if the villagers took the cattle away and killed them? If you kill it, you'll have a good meal tonight! ”

Liu Haojia said with a smile: "Then you are going to be disappointed, the cow is still behind." ”

Wang Xinyi pursed his lips and said: "This is a group of blessed people who will not enjoy!" ”

Liu Haojia said: "They are all farmers, so they are naturally reluctant to slaughter ploughing cattle!" Go and lead the two cows, let's go to Qinghe Village for dinner, these two cows are congratulatory gifts! One cow per village is considered to be used in the public school. That way, they can save some effort while farming! ”

After a while, he felt that he was leading two cows out from behind, Wang Xinyi came over and patted the cow's back and said, "Niu, Niu, you are really lucky, you actually escaped!" ”

Everyone laughed for a while when they heard this, and then led the cow to Qinghe Village, while discussing the ethereal question of luck.

When they reached the entrance of the village, they happened to meet the old village chief who greeted them. It seems that because of the past disaster, the old village chief recovered quickly. When he saw Liu Haojia, he said loudly: "My lord, the villain is about to look for you, so you are here!" ”

Liu Haojia said: "No way, after a day of sleep, I can't be hungry!" Thinking that you said please eat, this official hurried to come! However, the official also brought a congratulatory gift, that is, these two ploughing oxen, and each of you village will take one back! ”

Now not only the old village chief was happy, but even a few villagers around him were also happy! After all, cattle farming is a great help for farmers! When there is a ploughing ox during spring ploughing, the people in the village can be much more relaxed!

The old village chief arched his hand and said, "Then thank you, sir!" If you give a farewell gift, the old man can't accept it, but this ploughing cow must accept it! “

Liu Haojia said: "Since ancient times, the people have taken food as the sky, and you farmers have made great contributions to the country!" If you don't talk about this, isn't it about to start eating? “

The old village chief urged the people around him to take the cattle away, and then accompanied Liu Haojia to the center of the village. In the middle of the village, in the barnyard, the villagers are building a huge pile of lumber and setting up tables and chairs around the pyre, apparently preparing for a large bonfire! Moreover, the villagers of Xiaoqinghe Village kept carrying tables and chairs to join in, and the scene became more and more lively.

Liu Haojia was invited to the right position, accompanied by the village chief and several elderly people. Even the others, including the family members, were accompanied by someone to talk to, making them really feel at home!

Soon the dinner party begins, and the women bring all kinds of dishes like water! Although it is not as exquisite as the restaurant, it is better than affordable, and it can be regarded as a unique flavor! In particular, you can see a few plates of wild vegetables just picked today, and after taking the boiling water, mix with garlic slices and dogwood, it looks very pleasing to the eye!

As for the meat dishes, they are also simple and coarse, large pieces of bacon, and whole chickens and ducks are served! There is no need to worry about wine, the villagers dug out all the wine buried by their son and girl when the moon was full, and used it to entertain Liu Haojia and his party.

Although Liu Haojia and several companions around him are all from noble backgrounds, they have all had dilapidated families and have lived among civilians for a long time, unlike those old families who have enough official stands, so they quickly mingle with the villagers.

Not to mention those family members! They come from the bottom and sometimes even the living conditions of the villagers are not as good as the villagers, so they have a common language, and the two sides communicate very happily! Especially when there is wine as a medium, the two sides put down their estrangement and mingle!

And the villagers seem to be even happier than Liu Haojia! The villagers who had experienced extreme fear, who had experienced the joy and sorrow of the smallpox attack, and who had drunk wine, had countless words to confide in each other! There were even some drunk villagers crying and laughing, completely venting the pain in their hearts!

So the final result was that when Liu Haojia opened his eyes, he found that he was already in the tent, and the sky was already bright!

When he walked out of the tent with his head in pain, he found that the barricades in the distance had been dismantled, and the soldiers there were nowhere to be seen. It seems that they either withdrew overnight last night or left this morning.

After washing, Liu Haojia woke up the sleeping people one by one, and then the old village chief brought breakfast with a few people. Breakfast was very simple, just thick rice porridge, homemade pickles and oil cakes, which made everyone's uncomfortable stomach feel a lot better.

After breakfast, Liu Haojia said goodbye to the old village chief and officially left with people. However, there are not many villagers who come to see him off, but when he walks on the road, he will go to the roadside and kowtow respectfully when he encounters villagers working in the fields!

Liu Haojia understood that the villagers could not worry about the crops in the fields, and after finding out that the soldiers had withdrawn, they hurriedly went to the fields to remove the grass. So he accepted this simple send-off with a calm mind.

By the time they arrived at the county seat of Piyang, it was getting late. But the county seat at this time was different from when they first arrived. When they first arrived, the streets of the county town were very deserted. And now it's obviously much more lively! It seems that after the disaster has passed, people will be able to take to the streets again with confidence.
