Chapter 7
After walking for a few days, Lu Weimang took his two younger brothers, and Cheng Mo took Cheng Jin, encouraging each other and supporting each other.After the dry food was finished, Cheng Mo asked Cheng Mo to watch over the three little ones. She went hunting in the mountains beside the road, in a barren land. One of the two stayed in the middle of the night and the other slept in the second half of the night.

It is said that the deepest friendship is one that has carried a gun together, been in the same window together, whoring together, and sharing stolen goods together.

They also accounted for two of them.

Looking at the tall city wall in front of me, the big three characters of "Nanyang County" on the city wall are very eye-catching under the sun.

"I thought you were going to Peijun."

Cheng Mo turned his head and looked at the side who was no different from himself. He was dressed like a beggar. His pale skin had gradually turned pink after a few days of eating and drinking in Feng County. Now, after half a month of eating and sleeping in the open, It has returned to its blue state.

Lu Weimang looked at the tall city gate, and was happy in his heart, "We can't just wander around forever. In this world, it's like walking a tightrope. We are worried every day. We might as well go a little farther and start over. Besides, I came here specially because of this place. , has the roots for us to settle down."

She had been carrying grain and grass in the warehouse in Feng County for half a month, knowing that it was for General Huo to suppress bandits, and General Huo had already started to push through with his army ten days before they left Feng County.

Their itinerary was equivalent to following General Huo's army, so the road was very peaceful, and they didn't even see a rabbit. Animals would avoid evil and stay away from the battlefield, not to mention messy people.

And she insisted on coming to Nanyang because of the inspiration she received at the snack shop. In this era, white sugar seems to be a very precious thing, but brown sugar, which is also sucrose, is very cheap.It seems that no matter what era, appearance is very important.

Since white sugar that is crystal clear like snow is so expensive, isn’t it a luxury that is crystal sugar that is clearer and sweeter than white sugar and most importantly has a higher appearance?
Originally, when Lu Weimang had this idea, her first feeling was to start a business in Feng County. After all, it was not far from her hometown, and many people in the county knew her. She thought, would she be more secure in this way? .

But she didn't expect that the hopeful future she had just had was completely shattered on the day she finished work.Maybe it's also because she is so famous, so everyone knows that she is just an "outsider" who brought her younger brother to the county to seek a living. The entrepreneurial idea in her mind can only be implemented in Fucheng where Jingui white sugar is sold.

After all, the counties that couldn't even sell white sugar couldn't even sell rock sugar.

After sorting out their mood, a few people followed the flow of people and entered the Fucheng.

The war has just ended, and the sparsely populated population has become a precious resource. It is good to be alive, and there are no constraints such as road guidance regulations.

Although the five radish heads made the soldiers at the gate of the city take an extra look, they still entered the city smoothly.

There are two worlds inside and outside the city. As soon as you enter the city gate, you can hear the prosperity of the county. This is the excitement that belongs to the crowd, and it can only be produced in a densely populated city.

Lu Weimang once again felt the familiar excitement of the previous life, and after a moment of distraction, he took a few people and found a path to go straight forward.

Like a drop of water falling into a pool, it quietly merged into this Nanyang County.

Lu Weimang has limited money, and she wants to make a career, so she can only bear the pain, pay [-] yuan, and rent a small independent courtyard. There are only three main rooms in this courtyard, but a big kitchen, and courtyard The last well made her very satisfied.

After renting the yard, Lu Weimang and Cheng Mo bought the most basic daily necessities and some food with the three little ones.

Back in the small courtyard, after everyone took turns washing up, the rice porridge on the stove was ready.

In the empty and barren courtyard with some weeds, several children looked at each other and smiled, and ate the porridge made in their own kitchen that they hadn't eaten in a long time.

At night, they tacitly said nothing, fastened the gate of the courtyard, went back to their houses, and fell into a deep sleep.

The ups and downs along the way are not only caused by the wind and sleep in the body, but also the feeling of emptiness in the heart.

Now I finally have a "home". Even though I'm broke and desolate, I finally have a place to stay.

People's longing for a "house" lies in the sense of stability it brings to people.

After a heavy sleep, when the few people woke up, it was already high in the sun.

Lu Weimang heated up the leftover porridge from yesterday with the stove in the kitchen, and then began to arrange work.

Cheng Yang, Chang Feng and Cheng Mo's younger sister, Cheng Jin, were in charge of cleaning and tidying up the house, while Lu Weimang and Cheng Mo were in charge of cleaning the weeds in the yard and some doors and windows that needed to be repaired.

After dividing the work, the three of them started to act.

Lu Weimang was very strong, so he cleaned the water tank in the yard first, filled it with water, and the three younger ones worked hard with wooden basins and rags.Although Cheng Jin is one year younger than Chang Feng, she is not coquettish at all. She knows that this is her home, and when she scrubs the table, she uses all her strength to follow, and Chang Feng and Cheng Yang do not give in.Although they didn't know why they suddenly left the county with these two people, they were sensible and didn't ask too much. People who can back to back are good to keep warm.

"What is your plan?"

In the yard, Lu Weimang and Cheng Mo squatted in the yard, pulling weeds with bare hands. Iron tools were too expensive, and they were reluctant to buy them. They only bought a small shovel, which they didn't want to use.Let the calf-high weeds draw traces on his hands.

Cheng Mo asked this, because she knew that Lu Weimang had some plans in mind, otherwise she wouldn't have spent a lot of time renting a yard and just found a broken house, just like in Feng County, didn't it take a while?

Lu Weimang knew that although Cheng Mo didn't talk much, he had a plan in mind, otherwise he wouldn't have come over in the middle of the night when Lu Weimang was a little bit abnormal, just in time to kill the second person and save the three of Lu Weimang. .

But things didn't work out, and Lu Weimang didn't know how to explain to Cheng Mo, so he just looked at him and said, "I have my own plan. Seeing that it's going to be autumn and the weather is cold, our life will be difficult, so take advantage of some money in hand , I want to fight once."

Cheng Mo looked at Lu Weimang's white and blue face with seriousness, and then nodded, "Just tell me what you need, and I won't ask any more questions."

Although the other party is a little girl, she looks thin and thin, but she can live to this day with her two younger brothers, and can boldly kill people who have bad intentions for them. Obviously, she can't be treated as an ordinary girl.Now that she has an idea in her heart, let's fight with her once, if it's a big deal, continue to be a beggar, what else can I do?

One morning, all the weeds in the yard were pulled out, piled together, and waited to be dried in the sun to be used as a kindling, and the yard was leveled. The three small ones also played a super long role. Also very clean.

When cooking at noon, Lu Weimang took everyone to the kitchen and asked them to learn how to cook with a fire. Although they were all young, they were not pretentious. After she got busy, the food could only be handed over to the three young Zhang Luo up.

Cheng Yang thoughtfully stepped on a small bench and held a shovel, Xiao Jin sat on the stove to light the fire, Chang Feng sometimes handed water and sometimes firewood, at noon, everyone had a slightly raw meal, and some vegetables with some burnt smell.

After a short rest, after the sun shifted a little, the door was locked again and the whole family dispatched. Some went to buy sugar, some to buy charcoal, and some to buy cotton thread, cotton and linen jars.

Due to the limited capital, plus some collected from the two people that night, that is a little more than [-] Wen.Lu Weimang bought these things and came back, looking at the pile of things like a hill in front of him, gritted his teeth in his heart, it depends on this time whether it will be successful or not.

Boil all the tools in water and dry them, then pour all the sugar into the pot at once to cook, and the two little ones stood aside to set fire to the fire. Cheng Mo and Cheng Yang had nothing to do, they could only anxiously wait for Lu Weimang's As a result, seeing that she needed to cook a lot of things, the two of them consciously accompanied them and went to chop wood with the hatchet at home.

When the two of them went down in the sun, they dragged two bundles of firewood home, and the table was already set up at home, ready for dinner.

"Come back, let's eat quickly!"

The two put the firewood in the corner and piled it up. When they entered the house, they found that the porridge had been dried in the bowl, and the two younger ones were also cooked properly. They waited for the two to come back for dinner.

"How about it?"

Although Cheng Mo let Lu Weimang let go of his hands and feet, he also made up his mind not to ask any more questions, but seeing that Lu Weimang, who had been busy for several days, finally stopped and sat quietly waiting for his meal, Cheng Mo still couldn't help asking.

"I've done everything I can, and now I'm just waiting for the results."

Lu Weimang said this plainly, and Cheng Mo calmed down.

Three days later, under the eyes of several people, Lu Weimang moved the three pots from the dark corner of the backyard and put them on the kitchen stove.

Opening one of the jars, Lu Weimang easily poured the mouth of the barrel-sized jar, which was a circle thicker than her figure, towards the iron pan on the stove.

A clear liquid flowed out, with a slightly sticky feeling. Everyone didn't know why, so they just stared at it fiercely.

"Sister, look, there is a piece of stuff coming out!"

Chang Feng suddenly pointed at the small and inconspicuous object in the pot and shouted.

Lu Weimang breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't stop, and continued to pour. After pouring all the liquid in the three jars into the pot, he put the jars upside down against the corner of the wall, as if he wanted to completely control the water inside.

Lu Weimang did all this well, got up, and the four people around her looked at her with piercing eyes.

"Wait another two days."

Several people sighed in unison, but because of Lu Weimang's solemn expression, they didn't ask any more questions.

"Sister, what about the water in the pot?"

Cheng Yang asked.

"Put it out and put it in a clean bucket first, maybe it can be used again."

After listening to sister's words, Cheng Yang went to work silently, and the other three also followed to help.

They can't do anything, they can only look for opportunities to fight.

On the third day, when it was finally time to reveal, Lu Weimang moved the jar to the kitchen again, reached out to touch it, and suddenly felt confident.

The pot was prepared a long time ago, cleaned and dried in the sun. Lu Weimang stretched his hand in with strength, and only heard a creaking sound, as if a stone hit a porcelain vase.

Everyone's eyes widened. Lu Weimang reached in and squeezed all the big rock sugar into small pieces. Then he turned the jar down and pointed it at the iron pot. He saw countless crystal-like irregular crystals splashing from the ashes. Crackling in the jar.

"Sister, what kind of baby is this?"

The beauty of ancient utensils and gems is pure and clear. Although the shape of this rock candy is crooked, it is crystal clear and looks extraordinary.

"Sister, isn't this jar filled with sugar water? How did it become a gemstone?"

Cheng Yang pointed at Bingtang and asked in disbelief.

Lu Weimang poured all the rock sugar in the three jars into the pot in one breath, and the whole pot of crystals made the four of them stare and speechless.

Regardless of the astonishment of the four people, Lu Weimang went straight to break off four small crystals and gave them to everyone.

"Try it."

"Sister, is this edible?"

Cheng Yang stared at the crystal in his hand, as if it was a magical object that could jump up.Lu Weimang nodded, "Put it in your mouth and try it."

Cheng Yang picked up a small piece, looked at the light a few times, and then threw it into his mouth.

"Third brother, how are you, sweet?"

Changfeng asked eagerly.

Cheng Yang's expression, from frowning at the beginning to stretching now.

"You try it."

After hearing this, Changfeng picked up his piece hesitantly, stuck out his tongue and licked it cautiously.

Like Cheng Yang, Cheng Mo and Xiao Jin also threw them into their mouths.

Several people had different expressions, but without exception, they had stretched smiles.

"So sweet!"
