Chapter 63 Charcoal in the Snow
"Food! There is food in the car, and all the food is in the car!" The eyes of all the villagers turned blue in an instant, and if they hadn't seen the heavily armed soldiers around them, they would have rushed over desperately.
"The new lord has brought so much food, is it for us to spend the winter?" said a villager, swallowing his saliva and feeling a little excited.
"Definitely, otherwise what would he be doing with so much food...... It seems that this lord is better than the old lord, our Qingshan Village is really lucky!"
"Don't be too happy, don't you look at those soldiers, maybe it's the private soldiers invited by the lord, these grains are for the private soldiers!"
I don't know who said this, and immediately all the villagers' emotions sank.
"So many private soldiers, where do they all live...... Will it occupy our house!"
"On such a cold day, if they occupy our house, we will freeze to death!"
More and more villagers came out of their homes and gathered outside the lord's house, joining in the discussion and speculation that the food, although tempting, was driven out of the house at the thought of being kicked out...... They are all old and weak, women and children, and I am afraid that they will not be able to survive all night.
"It turns out that big brother is a bad guy...... Grandma!Are we really going to be kicked out of the house, my brother is still sick!" asked Nell, huddled in her grandmother's arms, and asked weakly, the little girl frightened by the chatter of the neighbors.
"No!" Aunt Yun gently rubbed Nier's head and said softly: "Although we are under the management of the lord, he can't disregard human life, the empire even has laws and regulations on the upper limit of taxes, how can the lord be allowed to do whatever he wants!"
Brother Fu glanced at Aunt Yun, and said secretly in his heart: "It's still my younger brother and sister who have knowledge, and I have lived in Hongyuan City, it's just different......"
"Brother and sister, there are so many of them, since they won't occupy our house, where do they live?" Brother Fu asked in a low voice.
"I don't know, I can't figure out why this new lord brought so many private soldiers to the village...... Perhaps, it is not necessary to protect the food along the way!"
"Squeak!" As soon as Aunt Yun'er finished speaking, the courtyard door of the lord's mansion opened, and a young man walked out.
"Huh!" the scene fell silent for a moment, and the sound of discussion disappeared without a trace.
"Grandma, this is the white flour cake this person gave me...... Nier whispered, and then Aunt Yun covered her mouth.
The young man cleared his throat and said, "My name is Han Xiaowu, I am the private soldier of the third-class baron Jiang Xingchen, the lord is in charge of the Qingfeng Mountain territory, I am ordered to take the first step and come back to deliver food to the villagers......"
After a pause, Han Xiaowu thought of the information given by the boss, and added: "The original name of the lord was Jiangling, and now he is renamed Jiang Xingchen!"
"Boom~" Everyone seemed to be struck by a happy thunderbolt, opened their mouths slightly, and looked at the young man in a daze, and their minds became blank.
When the young man finished speaking, the scene was still quiet, and everyone seemed to have not reacted.
Gradually, people's expressions began to change, the corners of their mouths became higher and higher, their eyes became brighter and brighter, and their yellow faces were full of energy.
Then there was a burst of cheers, and the snow on the eaves was shaken off a little.
"Young Master Jiangling, it's actually Young Master Jiangling...... So he succeeded...... No, a few days ago, people from Hongyuan City came to check the identity cards one by one, and it was obvious that..."
"The private soldier said just now that Lord Jiang is in charge of the territory...... This means that the original territory was recovered, and now it has been recovered by Gangneung!"
"Wait! Young Master Jiangling is ...... now It's a third-class baron, and when he left, he didn't activate Yuanquan at all......"
"Why are you so strange, Young Master Jiangling has become a baron, this is a good thing...... When he left, I knew that he would definitely succeed! Young Master Jiangling became a baron and first thought about us, as good as the old lord, what is it to collect more taxes this year, if I knew this, I should have let him collect more......"
"Yes! He practiced martial arts so hard, how could he not succeed! It's just strange, what did he do by changing his name......
"Anyway, this harsh winter can be survived...... Woo~"
Amid the surprise and praise, many people wept, and happiness came too suddenly. I thought it would be sad this winter, but I didn't think that Gangneung would not only come back, but also send charcoal in the snow to help the village.
Nier hugged Aunt Yun tightly, her little face flushed with excitement: "Grandma, we have something to eat, and my brother's illness can be cured!"
"Hmm!" Aunt Yun was also very excited, and nodded vigorously: "Yes, your brother will be almost well, we will also have something to eat, Nier will never have to go hungry in the future!"
"Young Master Jiangling is really not a bad person!When he comes back, I want to talk to him!" Niel blinked and said seriously.
"After meeting, you have to call the lord, you can't call the young master Jiangling, remember......"
When Aunt Yun taught Ni'er, Brother Fu said in a sneering voice: "Brother and sister, what the person said just now is true, the new lord is Young Master Jiangling, and those grains are ......."
"Yes!" Aunt Yun responded, took a deep breath, the cold air calmed down her excitement a little, and then she said, "Young Master Jiangling is really amazing! We were all wrong before...... Although he is not smiling, his personality is old-fashioned, and he does not like to be approached by others, but he is the most nostalgic! He is only sixteen years old, and he has become a third-class baron at such a young age, and he has been granted a fiefdom, and there will definitely be a lot of conditions for him to choose from, but he has just returned here......"
Before Aunt Yun finished speaking, Brother Fu slowly squatted on the ground, holding his face in both hands, and his old tears were full of tears. After being deceived in exchange for food, the whole village fell into famine, and if he didn't get it right, he would starve to death, his mood can be imagined.
Now that Jiang Xingchen is back in charge of the territory and has brought food to save his life, he has been relieved of his guilt, and he can no longer control his emotions.
Looking at the villagers below whose emotions were a little out of control, Han Xiaowu felt sympathy in his heart, but also a little proud, this kind of taste of saving people is really good......
Next, the happiest thing happened to the villagers, Han Xiaowu waved his hand, and several soldiers carried down several bags of white noodles and two and a half fans of pork from the car.
"Let's go to the courtyard first, let's cook a meal first and fill our stomachs!" Han Xiaowu smiled, turned around and walked into the lord's mansion.
"White noodles, and ...... Meat!" the gang gulped a mouthful of saliva with straight eyes, they couldn't eat meat twice a year.
Then, the soldiers unloaded the rice noodles from the car and moved them into the courtyard one by one, and Han Xiaowu had already vacated the room.
The villagers entered, and the soldiers had already set up their stoves and started to light the ......fire!
After a while, there was a lively scene in the courtyard, and I don't know which villager started to help first, and then a large group of people replaced the soldiers.
If Jiang Xingchen saw it, he would definitely not be able to bear to look at it directly! Of course, the white noodles are white flour cakes, and the pork is made in the same way as the cooking skills that Mei'er showed that day.
Throw the chunks into the boiling water, and a handful of salt will be done.
However, although the method was rough, Han Xiaowu and the others felt full of appetite after seeing the villagers eating.
The villagers ate it so fragrantly! Two mouthfuls of white flour cakes, half a fist-sized piece of meat can be stuffed into their mouths, as if they had not beaten their teeth for half a month.
"These villagers ...... How long has it been since I had a full meal!" the soldiers sighed in their hearts.
Han Xiaowu carried a piece of raw pork, quietly walked to Nier's side, and handed it to her.
The little girl was the smallest, trying to bite a piece of fat, half of her little face was full of oil, for fear that she would eat slower and not be able to grab the next piece, and her two eyes were staring at the cauldron on the stove.
However, when she saw the pork dangling in front of her, her eyes narrowed suddenly: "Xiexie, big brother!"
"Thank you!" Aunt Yun also stood up and hurriedly thanked her.
Han Xiaowu said no, only to find that the old woman holding the little boy in front of her was very different from others. At least you eat with chopsticks!
However, he didn't think much about it at all, and after finding that the boy's face was flushed, he hurriedly said: "This child is sick and can't stay outside, hurry up and enter the house!"
As he spoke, he beckoned to the fire of life......
Just when the lord's mansion was in full swing, on the hill not far away, more than twenty young men were panting and walking towards the village step by step with difficulty.
"I've been out for five days, and I haven't brought anything back, ......," a young man at the front sighed.
"Shi Wazi, don't think about it so much, you have to go home first! Otherwise, you don't have to worry about death in the village, and Aunt Yun will have two children at home!" said a young man in the back.
"It's just that I didn't bring anything back, how will I live my days when I go back!" Shi Wazi frowned.
"If it doesn't work, we'll come out again, and we must let the family know that we are safe......"
"Huh?" Before the man's words fell, Shi Wazi at the front suddenly exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" a group of people gathered around.
"Look, our village ......" Shi Wazi stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the lord's mansion, where a large amount of cooking smoke rose.
"Lord's Mansion! here's a new lord, go back and have a look!" a group of people rushed down the hill quickly......
Ten minutes later, more than thirty big men stood in the courtyard of the lord's mansion in a daze, looking at the hot scene in front of them, their eyes were a little dull.
Around them, their respective families were full of joy and were talking about what had just happened.
Nile also ran into Shi Wazi's arms, her oily little face constantly rubbing against his clothes.
"Young Master Jiangling! he's back...... Baron of the Third Rank! And brought back so much food...... It's incredible......"
It took these big men a long time to finally confirm this fact, and then looked at the steaming cauldron and kept cooing and swallowing their saliva. When Han Xiaowu smiled and nodded, they cheered and pounced......
At the same time, Jiang Xingchen, who was in a hurry, stopped again, and Old Man Tang made a new discovery, which surprised Jiang Xingchen.
