Chapter 126
After the New Year's Eve dinner, while Mr. Zhuge was telling stories to everyone, Mu Mian secretly took Li Changyuan's hand out of the main room.

Li Changyuan didn't ask Mu Mian either, but let her lead her to the kitchen.

When he arrived at the kitchen, Li Changyuan watched Mu Mian mysteriously take out a bowl from the cupboard. Li Changyuan raised his eyes and saw a few pieces of crystal red bean cake lying quietly in the bowl.

This is his favorite pastry, but he has never told anyone about it. The girl in his family has noticed it, and now she silently makes it for him to eat.

Li Changyuan stretched out his hand to wrap Mu Mian into his arms, resting his chin on the top of her hair, and whispered: "Mian Mian, you are so kind."

Mu Mian asked Grandma Liu to make many kinds of cakes earlier, but only this crystal red bean cake Li Changyuan would eat more every time. Today, the family made a lot of pastries and snacks. Mu Mian was afraid that Li Chang Yuan would not be used to spicy dishes, so he ate slowly , So I asked Grandma Liu to make this crystal red bean cake in advance.

She didn't dare to blatantly make trouble for Li Chang Yuan, fearing that others would make fun of her, so she could only do it when everyone's attention was not on her.

Mu Mian wrapped her hands around Li Changyuan's waist, watching the blessings in her hands increase bit by bit, the sweetness in her heart also increased bit by bit.

At this time, a low laugh came from the door.

Mu Mian was taken aback, struggling to get out of Li Chang Yuan's arms, but Li Chang Yuan held her head to prevent her from turning around.

He glanced at the door faintly. The two little heads at the door were smiling happily, but when they saw Li Chang Yuan's glance, they immediately froze. Feng Junbao and Feng Junyi covered their mouths and ran away grinning, still Shouting: "Brother-in-law, shame on you, brother-in-law, shame on you."

These words made Mu Mian blush, she pushed Li Chang Yuan away and ran out: "Stop shouting, you two, do you hear me?"

Li Changyuan watched them leave with a smile, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The days flow by day by day, and the New Year is over in a blink of an eye.

Under the leadership of Mu Mian, the villagers of Daluoshan officially started experimenting with sweet potato and potato planting in the inner mountain.

In the valley surrounded by several inner mountains, men and women are busy. Now they have reclaimed a large number of fields in this valley. Most of the fields are used to grow rice, while a small amount of land is used to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes.

It's not that kapok doesn't want to grow, but that she uses all the available pots in the space, but the harvested seeds can't reach the level of mass production.

Since then, Kapok spent most of her time in the field doing experiments, and the rest of the time she stayed at home and studied medicine with Dr. Yan.

It wasn't that she didn't want to accompany Li Changyuan, but that Li Changyuan left suddenly during the Lantern Festival, and left a letter to Mu Mian before leaving, saying that he was going to do something important to the world.

Having said that, why is Kapok so sad?

So, she forced herself to get busy.

When Kapok is busy, Daluo Village under Daluo Mountain is not so busy and fulfilling.

The remaining villagers in Daluo Village who did not go up the mountain are now sent to the front line to fight, and the rest of the old, weak and sick are staying at home.

Can staying at home be safe?

This is not the case.

The old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled still have to shoulder the heavy burden of farming. Even in times of war, they still have to pay taxes.

Zhang's mother-in-law worked hard to carry the family's dung buckets to the fields, and finally returned home. Her husband was drafted away, and only the old and the young were left in the family. Now she is already a heavy laborer in the family. .

She was so tired that she couldn't straighten her back, and she no longer had the time or energy to go gossip with Liu Shi under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village. At this time, she still had to cook for the family, even if she didn't have any strength in her body.

At this time, a shout suddenly came from a distance: "The bandits are coming, the bandits are coming, run away."

When Zhang's mother-in-law heard this, she didn't cook anymore, she left the loofah scoop and ran into the house, her two-year-old son was still lying on the bed.If it was really a bandit, she had to run away immediately.

Zhang's mother-in-law ran into the house, picked up the baby in swaddling clothes, and ran out the door, but before she ran out of the house, several strong and tall men had already entered her yard.

Zhang's mother-in-law quickly knelt down: "My lord, please forgive me, my lord, please forgive me, my family is gone."

Mrs. Zhang's mother-in-law is telling the truth. Since the last time refugees came to the village to grab food, her family really has no food left. Their family eats some wild vegetable roots to survive the winter, and now it's finally coming to spring. After that, I ate some wild vegetable dumplings.

But how could those gangsters listen to what she said?

"If you want to live, hurry up and take out all the food and money at home, maybe the brothers are in a good mood and won't kill you." One of the big men walked up to Zhang's mother-in-law with a grin, "This woman is really ugly. Why does my body still smell like urine, bah! I’m really out of luck, why did I run into a few houses and they are all middle-aged women, not a single pretty girl!"

After hearing these words, Zhang's mother-in-law felt a little more at ease. They shouldn't kill people, right?

But what Zhang's mother-in-law didn't expect was that the big man said again: "It's really unlucky, all the villages around here have been looted, and now there is really no trace of food!"

As he said that, the big man kicked Zhang's mother-in-law angrily, feeling as if he was venting his anger on her, and he said: "If you can't pay the money and food, then go to hell!"

As he said that, he raised his long knife and slashed towards Mrs. Zhang's family.

Zhang's mother-in-law felt weak all over, and she shouted at the critical moment: "My lord, please forgive me, I know where there is money and food! I know where there is money and food!"

Probably after hearing this sentence, the big man really stopped his movements, and put a long knife on Zhang's mother-in-law's neck. He sternly shouted: "Say, where is the money and food!"

Zhang's mother-in-law trembled to prevent herself from falling down. She was a little awkward in speaking, but she still tried her best to hurry herself up. She was afraid that she would be cut off before she finished speaking. She said quickly with her lips trembling. : "My lord, there is a Daluo village on the inner mountain of our Daluo mountain. Many villagers in our village went to the mountain a few years ago. They have a lot of money and food in their hands, especially a villager named Kapok. My little lady, she used to be the wealthy landowner of our Daluo Village, and she had a very good relationship with the county lord. She bought a lot of food to support the villagers who followed her up the mountain. My lord, what I said is true, please Please forgive me, I still have a two-year-old child, please forgive me."

"It's not impossible to forgive you. In this way, you can show us the way and take us up the mountain to find those villagers. If we do find them, then we will forgive you, how about it?" The big man exchanged glances with the people traveling with him , and then said to Mrs. Zhang with a smirk, "If you dare to lie, then don't blame me for being rude."

Zhang's mother-in-law immediately said: "I didn't lie, I didn't lie, I took the king up the mountain, I know where they are."
