Chapter 7: Contempt

"We've seen Your Highness!"

Because they saw the prince at the entrance of the village dragging the snake here, the people of Jingjia Village went out to greet them.

"Second Aunt Tian, I've been plump a lot lately!"

Throwing the fat relics on the ground, Forget Qiu smiled and said hello to one of the villagers.

"Ouch! My good highness, look at what you said, where am I plump, obviously my figure is out of shape and no longer young! ”

The chubby Aunt Tian Er smeared a white greasy pork lard grease on her hand-to-hand on her linen apron, and said with a smile.

"Uncle Jing Hong, Ling nephew Jing Qing is already the chief of the outer city, and the monthly salary has risen to ten catties of meat and two taels of silver, he said that the Jing family's spear skills will be enough for him alone in the future, so I will give you a word."

Forget Qiu took out a bamboo slip from the Qiankun bag, and handed the bamboo slip to the village chief Jing Hong with a smile.

"It's just a matter of getting promoted, and it's almost up to the sky, but what he can do, but I also want to ask His Highness to tell my ignorant nephew in the future, my Jing's spear skills are killing skills, not something worth showing off the strange and obscene skills in the township, so when will he achieve centurion and then brag in Xiao Ke, the position of the chief is also embarrassed to say it, and he is so ashamed that Xiao Ke has to find a crack to get into."

Jing Hong held the bamboo slip in both hands, and complained to Wangqiu with an embarrassed face.

And his good-faced remarks also caused laughter among the neighbors.

"Okay, don't laugh, Uncle Jinghong, this time I came here to inform you of something important, as you can see, the fat relics have now been ambushed, but the water supply of the two villages and one county in the future will be in short supply within seven days, and now the water source at the mouth of the village is gradually drying up, and the riverbed is gradually exposed, if there are naughty children in the village, tell them not to approach the riverbank to prevent burns, if your neighbors have not stored water, you can go to the bamboo briefing and the scribes, within half a day, there will be clean water to transport to the home."

"In addition, if each household intends to fatten flesh and blood, it can be purchased with gold, silver, copper, plates, jade, etc., and each household is limited to ten catties, and the last hundred catties of flesh and blood, and the one with the highest price among each other will get it, and the purchase of money and property shall be submitted to the treasurer's own book for verification of the corresponding accounts."

After briefly explaining the relevant matters, Forget Qiu handed over the fat body to Aunt Tian, who killed pigs at the entrance of the village.

"Your Highness, this fat relic has a lot of weight, I think it's a bit of bad luck, I don't know how much it starts?"

Aunt Tian touched a pig-killing knife out of nowhere, and after cutting off the horn crown of the fat legacy very neatly, she grinned.

"Fair price, one or two flesh and blood start at five copper plates, buy enough ten catties to leave the market spontaneously, if there is a violation of the law to buy and sell, dozens of lashes, and three days to move stones in the river."

Stretching out five fingers, Forget Qiu gave a relatively fair price for meat.

"Sister Tian, eight hundred copper, cut ten catties for Lao Tzu, it just so happens that the ground has been thin recently, so I just took this evil thing fertile field."

"And me, also cut me ten catties, and Xiaotian will be good for this snake wine on weekdays."

"Cut three catties of ribs for me, and the bones will be counted in, and I will go back to make soup and drink."

……

The villagers seem to be very willing to buy fat flesh and blood, and they are not very stingy with the ten copper coins in their own homes.

Looking at the neat posture of Tian Er's aunt cutting meat, it is obviously not the first time to cook fat flesh and blood, and there are also a group of villagers who have an indifferent attitude towards the fat disaster, and its outrageous degree makes Bai Qiuran, who has never stepped into a step of pure happiness in his previous life, almost look stupid.

"Your Highness, these two people next to you are fresh faces, which way did you come from?"

Jing Hong, who let the Tian family's aunt beat six catties of lean meat, took the initiative to ask about the origin of Bai Qiuran's brothers and sisters.

"The queen mother brought it back, this ...... My daughter-in-law, who hasn't even written a word, this is her brother, who was born in the Aolai Bai clan."

Holding the stones, he threw them towards the jujube tree at the entrance of the village, and when the jujubes fell, Wuqiu took three fist-sized spirit jujubes and distributed them to the two people on the side.

"The little girl is not talented, she is Brother Xuan's future daughter-in-law."

Pinching the spirit jujube with both hands, Bai Xiaoyue blushed and said timidly.

"Uncle, the younger generation Bai Qiuran."

Bai Qiuran, who always felt that this country was a little strange, couldn't help but restrain the attitude of the superiors, and carefully introduced himself.

"Your Highness, how many rooms do you have? Don't blame Xiao Ke for talking too much, if you are coerced, just talk to Xiao Ke, it's really not a blink of an eye, I promise not to tell anyone else. ”

As a person who has come over, Jing Hong first looked at the Jing family brothers and sisters suspiciously, and then muttered quietly on the side of Wuqiu with a mysterious face.

"The ninth room, Uncle Jing Hong, sometimes the joys and sorrows between people are often not connected."

Forget Qiu sighed, obviously not wanting to delve too much into this headache topic.

"Your Highness is born noble, and the peach blossoms are also blooming, this is a blessing, you have to keep it!"

Not far away, a young man named Sedum bared a mouthful of big white teeth, leading eight or nine children from Jingjia Village to take the lead in coaxing behind a big ox.

"Don't go to the river, don't you hear!"

Seeing that a few children were still holding the net pole, Wangqiu immediately reminded him.

"Got it, my good highness!"

The young man Sedum licked his front teeth, he looked bullish with his waist half-crossed, and after saying this, he held a forked wooden stick and led a few children up the mountain to catch chickens and dogs in front of several people.

"This kid, he is not big or small, I will definitely call his father and mother to dip the rattan whip in salt afterwards and serve him well."

As the head of the village, Jing Hong felt a little ashamed of the childish eyes in the village.

"The rattan whip will be avoided, see that they are as energetic as leather monkeys, tomorrow they will be divided into a few stone pickaxes and flat poles to dig a well in the village, and after the water source outside the village will dry up, it is good to count on the village well water to save lives, and the water cellar at home is often changed more often, although the officials in the country are reliable, it is inevitable that far water cannot quench the thirst of the near, in the final analysis, it is better to rely on people than on yourself."

Forget Qiu smiled disapprovingly, and before leaving, he still asked Jinghong to take the time to gather the villagers to build a well.

"What His Highness said is very true, I will take the lead when I go back, and there is a person in the village who will get all the gasping people to dig wells, first dig one in the village, and then dig one in front of every house."

Jing Hong, who guessed that Forget Qiu might have to leave, assured.

"Let's go, I'm going to go to other places to warn, tell Jing Yu and her mother not to slaughter the black pig that was hard to fatten, I'm here to do something, not to eat and drink for nothing."

Forget Qiu walked out of the entrance of the village, and waved goodbye to the people of Jingjia Village with a smile.

Seeing that Forget Qiu started to leave after explaining the matter, Bai Xiaoyue didn't doubt that she had him, but just followed Forget Qiu and became a happy little follower.

And Bai Qiuran stood at the entrance of the village, looking at the people of Jingjia Village, who were not bothered by the water source beginning to dry up at all, and couldn't help but secretly wonder to himself.

But seeing that Forget Qiu was about to go away, Bai Qiu Ran didn't delve too much into why the Pure Happiness Nation's attitude towards the Calamity Beast was so contemptuous, so he had to follow quickly.

"How?"

Forget Qiu took a bite of the spirit jujube and looked at Bai Qiu Ran, who was in a hurry.

"I'd like to see the other villages that have been affected by the fertilization of their water sources."

Bai Qiuran gasped slightly and made his own request.

"Well said."

Forget Qiu nodded noncommittally.
