Chapter 418: A Fragrant Bowl of Good Chicken Soup
The people who came out this time all believed in Li Yuan very much.
At this time, hearing her words, and Li Qinghua said that the clan would provide food and warm clothes for everyone, this made me feel a lot more relieved.
As everyone's cries gradually became smaller, Li Yuan saw that they were either standing in place with each other, or squatting regardless of each other, so he asked, "Uncle Hua, what did you just say to the cave, what's going on, where is it?" ”
When the people around Li Yuan heard this, they looked at Li Qinghua under the dim oil lamp one by one, and their eyes showed hope.
"I ran into Zhang Zhutou just now, and asked him if there was a place near him to accommodate us people to rest. He said that there were several large caves on the hill ahead, so that everyone could rest first, but they had to walk again. ”
When everyone heard that they had to continue walking, they almost cried, especially the women who were so tired that they couldn't lift their feet.
It's just that they understand that in the current situation, they can't go away.
As long as they stopped for so long, the water that was originally less than the calf had already exceeded it.
No one knows where the water will rise if it is delayed.
And the mountains on both sides of this official road, will they slide directly and bury people as their lieutenant chief/patriarch said.
They can't afford to gamble, and they don't want to gamble with their lives.
So, no matter how hard and tired you are, gritting your teeth, there will always be a time!
Li Yuan didn't know what everyone was thinking, but when she heard this, her eyes instantly burst with joy.
"Really? Did you run into Brother Zhang? ”
As she spoke, she didn't wait for Li Qinghua to answer, she looked at everyone and raised her voice and said, "Fellow villagers, we met Zhang Zhutou in the county government. He knew there were caves nearby where we could rest and stay overnight, but we might have to walk again. I hope you can grit your teeth and persevere. When we get to the place, my clan and I will ensure that everyone eats and stays. Try to let everyone have a good rest, and when the rest is good, let's continue walking. ”
Li Qinghua cooperated with Li Yuan's words, and also raised his voice and said: "Yuanniang is right! The clan will not ignore you. Those who still have everything in their rations, if they have more to bring on the road this time, they can also borrow them from the clan or those who have lost their supplies. We came out of a place, everyone knows each other, we have to help each other, and we can only work as one. At any time, as long as you don't make mistakes, the clan will never abandon you! ”
"The current hardship is only temporary. Let's think about it, after waiting here, after arriving at Luyang Mansion, what kind of life are we living? Watermelon, sweet potato, and the corn that Yuan Niang said can also be high-yielding. All of these are valuable things. ”
When someone heard this, they couldn't help but say: "Sweet potatoes and corn are not valuable, Luyang Mansion is the same as ours here, planting rice and eating rice." ”
Li Qinghua was not annoyed, and replied directly: "Watermelons are valuable, this guy knows." As for sweet potatoes and corn, why I say they are valuable, it is because these are high-yielding crops. After we planted it, we sold it as a high-yield seed. At that time, it will not be a matter of a pound and a few pennies. Your price has doubled or tripled, and you don't have to worry about no one wanting it, you know what I mean? ”
These words were extremely straightforward, and everyone present heard them clearly.
Thinking of the high price of growing watermelons, and then thinking about selling sweet potatoes and corn as seeds, the prices are also extremely high at that time, and their hearts are extremely hot.
Even if their bodies are extremely tired, they can still walk for two hours if they want to grit their teeth by themselves.
Hurry up, hurry up to Luyang Mansion, and when they settle down, in addition to the work of the tea garden, they have to hurry up and open up the wasteland.
If you have the land, you can plant.
After planting, you can make a lot of money, and you will be able to eat and drink spicy food in the future.
If they are lucky enough to have a daughter, they can marry a good family like Yuan Niang, and they will not have to worry about anything in the future.
In case a son is born, like their son-in-law Xie, that is the existence of the glorious ancestors......
"Lieutenant, what are you waiting for, the injured ones have all been arranged to the side of the house with an ox cart, let's go quickly. Although there is no hail at the moment, the rain is not light, and the temperature is getting lower and lower, so it is not the same thing for us to stand still here! ”
Li Qinghua said so much, and this is what he wants.
Hearing this, he gestured to Li Yuan, and then looked at everyone: "Okay, then you pack up by yourself, and we'll leave in a quarter of an hour." ”
After Li Yuan got the signal, she had already gone back first.
When she returned to her carriage, Zhou Zi and Zhou Chou had already returned, and on the wheel of her carriage, Zhang Cong was sitting.
"Brother and sister!"
Seeing people, Zhang Cong greeted her.
While bowing his head at him, Li Yuan said, "Trouble Brother Zhang!" ”
Zhang Cong waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's all my own people, so what's the trouble." Before Brother Xie Xian went to Fucheng, he specially explained to me and asked me to take care of you a little more. ”
As he spoke, seeing what Li Yuan wanted to say, he continued: "The water is so strong, my younger sister's clothes are probably wet, hurry up and change your clothes so as not to catch a cold." ”
Li Yuan remembered the cold warming decoction she had boiled in the space, and Wang Can had also boiled it before, so she had no scruples.
After seeing her get into the carriage, she came out with a kettle and two bowls in a few moments.
"Brother Zhang, Zhou Zi is here to drink cold medicine. Zhou Zi, after you finish drinking, go and change Zhou Chou to come in and drink. ”
The three of them felt that Li Yuan and the medicine they brought were limited, and they felt that they had fists and feet, and they were strong and strong, so this chill was nothing, so they refused.
Li Yuan is not a person who can push, and after making sure that they really don't want it, he brought the things back again.
Because of Zhang Cong's guidance, even though it was dark at this time, everyone still arrived at the cave before the hour.
Li Yuan's carriage was at the forefront, and Zhang Cong said to her with the oil lamp hanging on the carriage: "Brother and sister, this piece is a stone mountain, and it has not been mined much because it is in my Liuyun County. In previous years, only when the city wall was repaired, people would be sent to quarry here. There are thirteen caves in large and small, and the quarrymen who used to do their labor live here. There are three large caves, one of which can accommodate 80 people. Medium caves, four places, one for 50 people. There are six small caves, which can accommodate 20 people. If you do the math, it can accommodate more than 500 people in total. If you squeeze it a little more, it's about six hundred. ”
When Li Yuan heard this, he quickly calculated in his heart, if it was six hundred, then there were more than two hundred of them, plus Zhang Cong's people, there were almost three hundred people who had to live in ox carts or carriages.
Combined, they had less than forty cars, and on average, eight to ten cars had to rest.
It's fine to sit and sleep, but it's impossible to lie down.
However, she has a lot of oil, and it seems that she can set up a greenhouse in front of a few caves.
