Chapter 33

Zhou Yu and his party waited for a while, confirming that no more talents would come out of the forest and re-ignite the fire, and the group's feet were frozen and unconscious.

Yang Xi thought she was strong enough, but she couldn't help her eyes turning red at this time. It was really uncomfortable. Her feet were not warm after resting in the quilt for a while. It was Zhou Yu who untied the cotton coat and covered her feet to warm up. .

Yang Xi didn't refuse for the child in his stomach, and felt that it was not uncomfortable and said, "I'm fine."

Zhou Yu didn't feel well either. It was cold to death, and he still carried his daughter-in-law's cold feet in his arms. After confirming that his daughter-in-law's feet were warm, he put on dry cotton shoes for his daughter-in-law.

Ye Shi also handed the water bag with warm water to her daughter, and Zhou Xiaomei was in tears.

Men couldn't stand it, let alone women, and the group basically didn't rest at night.

The group set off before dawn, and only saw the footprints of the horse's hoofs when it was dawn.

Hunter Wang deliberately stopped to check, "This is a good horse in the grasslands."

Zhou Yu was surprised, "Can you see it?"

Hunter Wang, "Yes."

Zhou Yu's eyes on Orion Wang were different. This man hid deep enough to understand horses this year, which is not what ordinary hunters should know.

Setting off again, Yang Xi looked at the sky. She was thinking about the second heavy snow. In her memory, the second heavy snow was so heavy that it almost caused a snow disaster.

Because of the plug-in of King Orion, there is no danger behind.

Unfortunately, hurry up and hurry, the second snow arrives, and they still have a small half of the journey out of Xinzhou.

The group stopped in the mountain village. The second heavy snow fell for a day and a night, and the heavy snow covering the mountain also completely covered up the traces of the Zhou family.

Zhou Yu said at Zhou's house, "Now that the snow has stopped, I'll go out and see if we can hurry."

Yang Xi looked at Zhou Yu's cotton shoes and sighed, "Come back sooner."

"it is good."

Yang Xi waited for Zhou Yu to leave, and said to younger brother Zhou, "Go to the village to buy some rabbit skins and come back."

Zhou Xiaodi took the copper plate and said, "Would you like to buy some more peppers?"

Yang Xi thought for a while, "If you have eggs, buy some eggs back."

The mountain village is not big, there are only a dozen families in total, and not many people can hunt. The people live very hard. They don’t see much money all year round, and they have to pay high taxes. The family does not have a cotton coat, all straw filled.

Yang Xi has no hope of being able to buy eggs.

Zhou Xiaodi came back soon, "I went with Wu Da, and he also bought a hen."

As he said that, Zhou Xiaodi swallowed his saliva unconsciously. Half the eldest child eats the poor old man, and Zhou Xiaodi is the best time to eat.

Seeing that there were 24 eggs, Yang Xi was surprised, "So many eggs?"

Zhou Xiaodi said: "Sister-in-law, the villagers keep the chickens in the house in order to let the chickens lay eggs. Even so, the chickens don't like to lay eggs. I went to all the houses to buy these."

Yang Xi took out six eggs, "Fry an egg white dish at noon, and then steam the egg custard."

Brother Zhou grinned, "Okay."

A total of six rubbed rabbit skins were bought. Yang Xi was going to make shoes. Even Mrs. Ye got up to help, which shows how terrible the freezing of feet was last time.

Zhou Yu and Orion Wang came back, their faces were not good, Yang Xi asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Yu replied, "We walked a long way to check, and saw a group of people hurrying on the mountain."

Yang Xi's movements stopped, "Hurrying on a snowy day? Still walking on a small road?"

Zhou Yu, "I look like a palace guard."

Yang Xi confirmed, "You read that right?"

Zhou Yu, "I observed it for a while."

Yang Xi frowned. The feudal lord had to leave the fiefdom without an edict. Leaving the fiefdom was a serious crime. She didn't have any news of the feudal lord entering the capital in her memory. Thinking about it, they were too busy in the suburbs of Beijing in the last life, where would they pay attention to the capital.

For the common people, the concern is whether they can eat enough, who would inquire about the situation in the capital, and also cut off her source of information.

Zhou Yu pointed out, "It's not trivial to take the path. The last time we met should be the first team."

Yang Xi also thought so, "Speaking of which, out of Xinzhou is the fief of King Jiang."

When it comes to vassal kings, it is necessary to talk about the descendants of the royal family of this dynasty. The vassal kings cannot live without fiefs and have no real power.
Ninety percent of the land in the country is in the hands of the powerful, and the vassal kings account for fifty percent of the ninety percent. If you include the hidden fields, you can imagine how hard the common people are.

The people had no land and had to pay ever-increasing taxes. The people had no way out, and the court forced the people to rebel.

Zhou Yu recalled, "Dad never mentioned King Jiang."

Yang Xi didn't know Jiang Wang even more, "It's better for us to leave as soon as possible, can we hurry tomorrow?"

Zhou Yu said: "By borrowing the light of this team, I can hurry tomorrow."

Yang Xi had a smile on his face, "Good luck."

After dinner at noon, the head of the family who borrowed the house came over. The old man was very timid. Zhou Yu and his party could no longer be described as refugees. There were donkeys and sleighs, and there were many men.

Zhou Yu asked, "Is there something wrong with the old man?"

The old man's neck shrank again, and his eyes didn't dare to look around, "My second grandson is seventeen this year. He is very strong and can work very well. He can take it away with only five taels of silver."

Yang Xi, "."

Is this to sell grandchildren?
Zhou Yu was also stunned, then frowned, "We don't need a servant."

The old man's eyes were sad. He didn't go to the Wu family. He could see that the Wu family was a farmer, and he didn't want to sell his grandson, but he couldn't go on.

Yang Xi waited for the old man to leave before he realized, "There are no girls in this house."

Zhou Xiaodi said, "Sister-in-law, there are not many girls in the whole village."

Yang Xi felt uncomfortable. It was impossible to give birth to boys. Girls were either born dead or sold.

Zhou Yu noticed that Yang San went out, and after a while, the sound of fighting came from outside the house.

Yang Xi and his wife looked at each other, and the two got up and came out. They saw that Yang San was fighting with a teenager. It can't be said that it was a fight. Yang San abused people unilaterally.

Until the young man fell to the ground from exhaustion, Yang San took out five copper coins from his arms and handed them over, "Agreed."

The boy's eyes lit up when he saw the copper plate, he stretched out his cracked hands to take the copper plate, and then quickly returned to the room.

Zhou Yu didn't ask Yang San's plan, rested overnight and was ready to leave in the morning.

Yang Xi sat on the sled and carried her son over. She didn't see Yang San, "Where did Yang San go?"

Zhou Yu snorted, "This is not coming."

When Yang Xi saw that Yang San was following the boy from yesterday, she had a guess in her heart, which was confirmed at this moment.

Yang San grinned, "Sister-in-law, I am responsible for his meals."

Yang Xi looked at the restrained teenager. The teenager's face was blue and purple. Yesterday, Yang San tested the teenager and didn't keep his hand, "Well."

Wu Shan frowned slightly when he saw the situation on the side, and then let go.

Zhou Yu's eyes were deep, and Yang San avoided it unnaturally before he said, "Let's go."
