Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

see there?

Mu Yu looked in the direction Yang Erlang pointed, but he didn't see anything special, and he didn't gain anything from looking carefully, so he looked back at Yang Erlang suspiciously.

Yang Erlang didn't look at her, just continued to point in that direction,

"Look carefully, a little far away, on the other side of the dead tree, that sharp corner like a roof, do you see it?"

According to what he said, Mu Yu squinted his eyes and looked carefully for a long time, and finally found the "sharp corner like a roof" that Yang Erlang said in the most difficult "find the difference" game.

In fact, in her opinion, there is no difference between the so-called sharp corners and rocks and thicker branches, so she didn't notice it at all at first.

Even now, after being deliberately reminded, she is not sure that this is what Yang Erlang asked her to see.

She turned around and asked Yang Erlang,
"Is there anything different about this thing?"

Yang Erlang withdrew his gaze from a distance, and glanced at her, with a rare sense of melancholy in his eyes, as if recalling something.

"There's a bunker over there."

"Tunbao?"

A scaled-down mud city suddenly appeared in Mu Yu's mind.

The size of the earthen castle is about the size of a village, but compared with the low houses in ordinary villages, it is obviously more difficult to build an earthen castle, the construction cost is higher, and correspondingly, it is safer and more reliable.

Being able to own a earthen castle obviously has a lot of power, whether it is the territory of a powerful man, or some clans, or even the gathering place of bandits and the like.

Judging by Yang Erlang's reaction, he should know something, but it is not a good memory.

She didn't ask.

Yang Erlang seemed to be caught in some memory, and he spoke after a while,
"This earth castle belongs to a local clan. It is said that the original surname was Zhao, but later it was changed to Wang, and it was called Wang Family Earth Castle.

After the famine, the villagers in several villages near the earth castle and the passing disaster victims all depended on the earth castle to survive and became the vassal of the earth castle, and the power of the earth castle became stronger and stronger.

When our family fled famine to Huangsha City before, we passed by the Wangjia Tubao, and they also recruited our disaster victims to join in, including middle-aged men, young women, and children.

At that time, we wanted to join. Even if we entered the castle as slaves, it would be better than starving to death in this drought year. "

But in the end it definitely didn't join...

Mu Yu knew this, otherwise she wouldn't have met Yang Erlang and his mother in Huangshacheng.

But why not?

This ancient castle probably has other disadvantages, more unacceptable disadvantages than starving to death, which forced Yang Erlang to give up the immediate way of life and choose to go to the distant Huangsha City.

"It's not a good place to go.

At the beginning of the famine, the earth castle was very distorted.

The women who enter the castle will become the playthings of the royal family, and the men who enter the castle will either be killed at will, or whipped to do things day and night...

Now that two years have passed, I'm afraid it's even more chaotic. "

Mu Yu frowned.

"There are at least 200 people in the bunker, most of them are strong men with weapons.

Our entire fleeing team has less than 100 people in total, and some armed ones have at most about 30 people, and they don't have decent weapons.

No matter how you look at it, there is no comparison. If they want to do something, it will be difficult for us to parry. "

Mu Yu was puzzled,

"Since Wang's Citadel is a place like a bandit's den, let's avoid them.

There is no shortage of water and food for us now, and it is not a big deal to take a long detour for a few days. "

Yang Erlang looked at her, as if looking at a young child, his expression was not much relaxed.

Mu Yu immediately realized something,
"Is there any other trouble? Can't bypass the earth castle?"

Yang Erlang looked in the direction of Xu's caravan and said slowly,
"We have always been taking detours and wilderness sandy land. Although the speed is not slow, there has been a lot of dissatisfaction with the Xu family caravan.

They want to take the road, so that the ox carts and horses can travel faster without much loss.

Starting yesterday, we walked onto the avenue. According to my plan, we should leave the avenue this afternoon and walk back to the path, but the caravan came and hoped to continue along the avenue. "

Mu Yu suddenly remembered something,
"That's why you stopped in the afternoon?"

In the afternoon, she was fiddling with weeds and food in the mustard space, and only remembered that the team stopped when she woke up, which was very strange, because the half of the rest was at noon, and it was obviously past noon by then.

But she set off again soon, and she didn't think much about it.

"Xu's caravan wanted to take the main road, but now we turned to the small road. Have you convinced them?"

"For the time being, it's convincing."

The expression on Yang Erlang's face was not optimistic,

"Just this time.

We are getting closer and closer to our destination, and we will be able to reach Heshan Village in at most ten days, maybe less than ten days.

It will take about a day or two to enter the mountain, that is to say, there are still about seven or eight days before we part ways with the Xu family caravan.

That's when we split some people to continue south to Bazhou County with them. "

Mu Yu lowered his head and stopped talking, the day came so fast.

When I agreed, the escape from famine had just begun, and I just felt that this matter was still far away. In the blink of an eye, the escape from famine was coming to an end, and I needed to consider this matter.

Now and then, after more than ten days of getting along with each other, she was reluctant to part with everyone in the team, and she also understood that there were not many people in the team who were willing to go with the Xu family caravan, maybe even none.

In the beginning, there were more people who were willing, but now there are not many people.

The Xu family caravan whipped the servants a lot along the way, and people noticed how those little stewards insulted and bullied the servants.

The life of a low-level slave is not easy. Since you can live without being a slave, who wants to be inferior to others and be beaten and scolded?

But then again, since it was agreed a long time ago, they should give an explanation for taking food from Xu's caravan.

They will not do things like breaking a contract unless it is absolutely necessary.

The two were silent for a while, and Yang Erlang said,

"Go back first, it's getting dark.

This was like this beforehand, and when the time comes, just do what you want to do. "

Mu Yu nodded heavily. No matter how hard he thinks now, he can't immediately come up with a perfect solution. Why don't he just let it go and see if things will turn around in a few days.

Letting go of this matter really made the two of them relaxed for two days.

There has indeed been a turning point in the past two days, but it's not a good turnaround, but a bad one.

Although we didn’t set out to Wang’s Tubao intentionally, but the Tubao is on the front left. As the team advances, we can gradually see 01:30 o’clock.

The people in the fleeing team didn't pay much attention to this, but the people in the Xu family caravan paid attention.

On this day, people from the Xu family caravan approached and said they hoped to seek help from the Wang Family Tubao.
