The big head on the left sent away the last group of servants at this time, and when he came out of the stove room, he saw that not far away, there was a person wrapped in an indigo cotton jacket and looking around with his face covered......

"Lord Meng." He stepped forward and saluted.

"Is there enough food?"

"Enough, thanks to your orders in advance." Zuo Datou reported the situation, "But today's food is much more than in the past." ”

"Normal." Meng Changqing said, "I've worked hard for you, and when the middle class is over, you can also be a little more relaxed." ”

"We are practicing in the barracks, we are much more tired than now, it's okay."

The number of servants is small, Meng Changqing originally wanted to let the evening shift work be eight hours, so that the evening shift directly became the morning shift, and the original morning shift and middle shift were postponed downward, and the shift was completed.

However, although the servants were few, they did a good job, and the construction of the city wall was completely in time.

Meng Changqing simply let the night shift take a break directly, so that all three shifts could rest for twelve hours, while she only stopped for four hours with the lowest efficiency on the construction site.

The Zeng brothers mixed in the crowd and walked in the direction of the city wall of Yangmen County.

I didn't walk long before I saw the person in front of me stop, "What's wrong?" Zeng Laosan was blocked by the person in front of him and couldn't see what was going on in front of him.

"Don't squeeze, there are officers and soldiers in the way."

"What officers and soldiers?" Boss Zeng panicked, guessing if the soldiers on both sides did not discuss it, and they wanted to release people on the one hand, but they were unwilling to release them.

Just as he was guessing, Zeng Laosan was already drilling forward.

Boss Zeng had no choice but to keep up, apologizing to others while reaching out to grab Zeng Laosan.

"This is what the county lord means, we Beishan County will send troops to escort you to Yangmen County."

Zeng Laosan saw from the gap that the old man was leading the horse and pulling the big cart, and the car could squeeze a lot of people when he looked at it.

"Master Bing, let's work, where do we bring the money?" Many people thought that this was the county lord's way of asking them to collect money.

"I don't want your money." The soldier leading the horse roared: "The county lord is kind, I am afraid that you will meet mountain bandits on the road, so I let us escort you, and I am afraid that your feet are not strong enough to travel far away, so we let us set up a car to send you." ”

The soldier waved his whip, and the people next to the startled carriage leaned back again and again, "Listen, the distance is far away, and the young ones come to the car, and the others will not give them if they want to sit on the horse." ”

Zeng Laosan knew the person who led the horse, who was their group of guards who often delivered meals.

He knew that the man was easy to speak, so he stepped forward and asked, "Master Bing, my family is in Zhuangzi below Liangzhou, can you sit?" ”

"You come up." Zeng Laosan is young and thin, so of course he meets the conditions.

Seeing this, some people measured their figures, and saw that they were about the same size as Zeng Laosan, and they also sat up, and the soldiers leading the horses did not drive people away.

Seeing that the people here were almost gathered, and no one came back, he knew that this group of people who were going home were all here, so he led the carriage and set off, and there were officers and soldiers with knives on both sides of the crowd.

Zeng Lao Sanchang took the carriage back to the carriage with such a big head, and he was crowded with many people, and he felt that it was very lively.

His eldest brother didn't have this luck, so he had to follow the car.

The soldiers who lead the horses often turn back to talk to them.

"Our county lord wants to dig a well near the stove house, you go back and inquire, but there are people who can see the location, if there is someone who can see accurately, bring people here, and the water is really dug out, and the county lord will give a reward of one or two silver."

A tael of silver!

Zeng Laosan crossed his fingers and couldn't figure it out.

He only knew that when he went to the rice shop to buy grain, he went to the husk for four cents and one liter, and one tael of silver was ......

He looked up and asked Boss Zeng next to him, "Brother, how much is a tael of silver?" ”

"The current price of silver is 1,000 wen."

"One thousand Wen, how many millet can you buy?"

Qian Baoshan, who was still sitting in the other corner of the carriage, said, "The price of grain this year is not high, and one tael of silver can buy three stone millet seeds." ”

Zeng Laosan only then has a concept, three stones of grain, his family can eat for half a year.

"It's a pity I won't look at the location."

He doesn't know how to look at it, and he doesn't know anyone in this area, but there are others who are with him who have moved their minds.

When officers and soldiers are sent to Yangmen County, they will no longer be sent.

Zeng Laosan got out of the car and followed his eldest brother and continued to walk home.

Seeing that the sun in the sky was getting farther and wester, the steps of the two were getting faster and faster. No matter how fast it was, it was already dark when I returned to the village, but fortunately, there were many people from the same village, and they were not afraid.

As soon as the people entered the village, the village dogs barked.

I thought there was a thief in the village, so I came out with a stick to see, but it was my own village, and I even saw my own children in the crowd.

"Oops, it's the guy who was captured to serve has returned!" Someone shouted, and almost all the people in the village woke up.

Families opened their doors and came out to recognize people.

After the crowd was surprised, they came back to their senses and asked, "You guys fled back?" ”

Li Zheng listened to the letter, and also came to the gathering place of the crowd, and scolded with a black face: "Don't die! If you run away from anything, the whole village will be affected by you! ”

"Uncle Qian, don't worry, we didn't run out." Boss Zeng said, "There are twelve hours of free time on the construction site, and the soldier allowed us to go home to see." ”

"yes." The servants who came back should be reconciled, "Or the soldiers personally sent us to Yangmen County, if you don't believe it, you can ask." ”

"Hey, I said, we've been delayed on the road for so long, and we can't stay at home for a few hours, so let's hurry home and don't blow the cold wind here."

"Yes, yes, hurry home."

Li Zheng saw that what they said was true, and it was not good to scold again, although he had doubts in his heart, he could only wait for tomorrow to see it.

The Zeng brothers found their brothers and their mothers in the crowd of onlookers and dragged them home.

"Big brother, what you said is true?" Zeng Lao Er walked home on crutches one by one.

Zeng Laosan hurriedly said: "Can that be fake?" Hurry home, we brought good things. ”

As soon as he got home, Zeng Laosan urged the boss to take out the contents of the package.

In order to see what they brought back, it was rare to light the lights at home.

Unwrapped the cloth, there was something wrapped in the cloth, Zeng Laosan opened it with his hand, revealing two bowls of sturdy millet rice with a bowl inside.

"Where did this come from?" The old lady of the Zeng family asked in a trembling voice, "Whose things did you steal?" ”

The second sister-in-law of the Zeng family swallowed her saliva, thinking that even if it was stolen, she would never let them return it.

The family is full of thin porridge that can show the shadow of a person every day, and after winter, she has never eaten a mouthful of millet rice.

"Mother, it's not stealing." Zeng Laosan explained, "It was given on the construction site. ”

"On the construction site?" The second sister-in-law asked: "Where you go to work, do you have millet rice to eat?" ”

"Yes." Zeng Laosan said, "As long as you go to work, you can eat three meals a day." ”

Zeng Lao Niang grabbed her eldest son, "Is it true?" ”

Boss Zeng nodded, "This is a good place to go back, the guards are good to talk to, and there are also women on the construction site, this time I came back and wanted to bring Meizi over." ”
