Reborn peasant girl - Chapter 523 Secret Planting
“This summer, the grassland was dry and the dead grass was continuous. Many cattle and sheep were damaged. Perhaps the barbarians felt that it was difficult for them to spend the winter, so they decided to rob them. But not the whole prairie, only seven great tribes, a total of 50,000 horsemen. It was not difficult to resist the high and deep rivers of guancheng in the mountains, so he was afraid that the barbarians would have some changes. In short, you discuss with the family, do more preparation, really do not achieve the south migration. There’s always a month between battles. I’m afraid I’m going to take the troops out, you …”
Ye lan hugged Jiao Jiao tightly and instructed in a low voice,” you must take good care of yourself. In three days’ time, I’m afraid I’ll be busy, so I don’t have much free time to come in. ”
“Don’t worry! You’re gonna be fine, too. Jiao Jiao patted him on the back and held back his worries. He did not say a word to stop him. He had been waiting for this opportunity for too long. If he wanted to take revenge, he would need to be extremely powerful. The fastest way to build a career was through combat.
“Hurry up and get busy. I’ ll go out and talk to grandfather.” ”
“Good. ”
The two of them smiled at each other, and everything fell into silence.
After lunch, old master lin usually had to take an hour’s nap, but it was about to fall soon. He was worried about the rice in the field, so as long as he was free, he had to go for a walk. He was afraid that the villagers would not take care of it properly and would be hurt by the beasts coming down from the mountain.
Another important thing was that the children had to practice horseback riding the year before last. At the foot of the southeastern mountain of the village, a large courtyard was built in a remote area. Three small thatched houses were built in the courtyard. The rest of them had built a row of stables against the outside wall, and the rest were cornfields.
The walls around the courtyard were built to the height of two people. They completely blocked the view from the outside, but they couldn’ t stop the sunlight. This was the best secret planting base.
Recently, the leaves of maize have a tendency to turn yellow, lin bao said this is to mature. He had brought his trusted servant and lived here day and night, afraid of being intruded upon by others.
Lin wei and her brothers also used the excuse of horseback riding and took turns to follow the vigil.
However, it was hu tianming who came in and out frequently. Perhaps it was because he was worried that the lin brothers were not strong enough. If they encountered a bad person and were unable to resist, he would spend most of his time here all day.
When old master lin walked to the front door of the racetrack, he was shocked when he saw hu tianming jumping down from the tree. He finally smiled and said,” tianming, don’ t be too tired. There are a few forest guards here, so it won’t be a problem. You’ve worked so hard to keep watch all day. ”
As he spoke, the old man stretched out his hand to remove the leaves on his clothes and instructed,” go home for dinner tonight. Have some food. Sleep well and slowly get tired.” ”
“Yes, old man. ”
Hu tianming responded with a smile, and the corners of his eyes were filled with warmth. Just as he was about to help open the door, Jiao Jiao chased after him.
“Grandpa, grandpa! ”
“Oh, why is this lazy girl here? ”
When the old man saw his granddaughter, he was overjoyed. He smiled and walked up to her and asked,” I told you to come over earlier. Grandfather is waiting for you. Why are you running so fast? ”
Jiao Jiao was not tired, but when he thought of the emergency, there were no outsiders here. He said in a low voice,” grandfather, I got the news that the barbarians outside the entrance of mount hanshan are making a move. I’ m afraid they’ re going to commit a crime. There are still quite a number of people, so we will definitely be affected here, shouldn’t we make preparations early? ”
“What? “Where did you hear the news? ”
After asking this, the old man suddenly thought of ye lan and quickly changed his words,” do you know how many barbarians have committed crimes? ”
“It is said to be seven tribes, fifty thousand people. But it won’t do it right away. It’ll last a while. ”
Jiao Jiao zai answered carefully and finally asked,” grandfather, is our family moving south …”
However, the old man immediately interrupted her and said in a low voice,” no, we can’ t move and hide until we have no choice. This is the root of our lin family and the root of many villagers. It was like a tree with deep roots. Once it moved, it would be very harmful if it didn’ t die. The more you move, the harder it is to live. ”
Jiao Jiao secretly sighed in her heart. In fact, she had guessed that the lin family’s family training had never been avoided. It was the lin family’s usual practice to face difficulties.
This time, it was probably the same.
Hu tianming interjected. It was better to prepare for the worst before you knew what was going on. It would be better to think of a countermeasure first, prepare the food and retreat, and then make an exception. ”
The old man was regretting his harsh words with his granddaughter, but he was not prepared to withdraw. The lin family’s children and grandchildren had no other choice but to be tough. Run away when you are in trouble, develop a weak and cowardly character, and regret too late.
Just as hu tianming opened his mouth, he asked,” alright, don’ t talk about this for now.” Starting tomorrow, the family would hold a water banquet after autumn harvest. First, they would prepare enough food for thousands of people to eat for 35 days. ”
Jiao Jiao was not angry at first. He nodded and replied,” just prepare the things. I have a place where I can put these things down and use them easily. I’ m not afraid of corruption. We are so close to mount ham. If the war starts, we will soon hear the news. When the time comes, we will have to prepare more bows, arrows and spears. ”
“Weapons are not easy to handle. We’ ll talk about it when the time comes. It’ ll be easy to prepare first.” ”
The three of them discussed for a long time before they left.
Early the next morning, every household in the lin family village received the news. After the autumn harvest, the old man had to set up a banquet and prepare to steam some dry food in advance. He wanted to ask everyone to give him a hand.
The old man was generous and generous. The old and young people in the village were used to it, so they naturally did not doubt it.
At this time, there wasn’ t much work to do at home. The men went to the fields, and the women went to the lin family’s courtyard to collect the flour.
Initially, they thought that a family of one to twenty catties of flour would become one. Unexpectedly, the lin family sent two bags each, which weighed more than 100 kilograms. If they were to steam out steamed bread, they would probably pile up into a mountain.
An old lady gossiped with madame dong and asked,” old sister-in-law, are we going to the west side of the city for food?” ”
In fact, the dong family did not know why the old master had instructed them to prepare so much dry food, but her little granddaughter was also busy with the work, so she felt that the two of them must have something to consider.
So, as always, she became a loyal executor.
At this moment, she replied with a smile,” well, I didn’ t ask about it either. It’s just that the old man arranged it. I’ ll just follow along.” Besides, if we really want to go to the west of the city to dry food is not bad, we have had a bumper harvest for three or four years in a row. ”
“Old sister-in-law, you’ re right. Everyone said that we have to give something away to get something. We really have got a lot, and we haven’ t given anything up yet. “The old lady who was asking the question nodded her head and jokingly said,” if we really go to the west side of the city to dry our food, my sister-in-law will also call out to us. We are not rich, but we can live. Together to gather some dry food, old coat pants and so on send, and do good deeds together. ”
“Yes, aunt, don’t forget to shout when the time comes. ”
The crowd followed suit, and the dong family naturally agreed happily.
Soon, the flour was distributed. All the women were busy with steamed buns. The men came back to see them and asked casually, but they didn’ t take it seriously.
