The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 10 Early Winter
In the early winter months, it continued to rain. Because of the mountains and rivers, there were only two wells for drinking water in the village that were not dug deep enough. Now the water from these two wells is not enough for the daily drinking of the [-] households in the village.

"Village chief, you should come out and take care of it! I can't grab half a bucket of water every day, and I can't cook enough for a big family."

"That's right, if you continue to rob like this, you have to fight!"

"Yes, yes, let's take care of it!" The villagers chattered, and they were more anxious than anyone else when it came to their own interests.

In the end, the village set up wheels to fetch water for each family, and each family could only fetch one bucket a day, enough to cook porridge.The water in the mountains and rivers is really about to bottom out now. Cuihua has dug out all the seasonal clothes at home. Since the old village head said that it will be very cold this year, let’s wait until the heat preservation work is ready.

They all said that the boy wasted his clothes. Looking at the clothes left by the two culprits in the closet, none of them were complete.

I asked Mrs. Ma, and she said that there is no need to increase or decrease: "Your father's sheepskin jacket is very hot, and the money didn't come from the strong wind. What kind of cotton jacket should the second child wear when he blacksmiths? I will wash the third one for him. Go ahead and wear it!"

Anyway, the life wisdom of the old lady is that if you can spend money, you don’t spend it, you have to spend it, and one is broken into two!

Hearing that my mother was going to the town to go to the market, she drove passers-by online.Compared with the original body, the Cuihua who has lived all her life is obviously much gentler.

In the past, the original body beat the baby almost every day, let alone scolding. The two cubs found out: Recently, the mother likes to be reasonable and not to do anything, and the child is the most discerning person.

It's only half an hour's journey from the downstream village to the nearest Qiaotou town, so just go.When we got to the town, we finally had a sense of an ancient town, not to mention that Qiaotou Town was a big town, one hour away from Qing County.

There are crowded houses in the town, and the business of the grain shop is the most prosperous. I heard these people say that the price of rice is already thirty yuan a catty, how long has it been since the autumn harvest!

Steamed buns cost five cents a piece, and I bought two to plug my mouth at both ends. There are three grocery stores, and only one has cotton. The price is astonishing, one hundred cents a catty.

The clerk in the store said: "This is from the Northwest. I don't know how much the shipping cost is. It is said that this year will be very cold. If you don't buy it now, you will be asked to increase the price!"

"But you are too expensive!"

"No matter how expensive it is, it can be as expensive as soup and medicine. Who is to blame if you get sick from the cold in winter?"

"How many years can a cotton jacket be worn? When it's worn out, take out the cotton and let it sit in the sun for a few days. Once it's soft, use it again. There's no delay!"

"A padded jacket, after the eldest brother wears it, the second child will wear it, so it's easy for your baby to take turns!"

The guy is so talkative, the women are obviously still persuaded.

I will definitely buy it. Cuihua and Heiwa's family assets and the money given by Hu Daddy are only eight taels in total, and there are more than 400 copper coins. Well, I bought five catties at once, and I plan to continue to smuggle and dope.

Cuihua's smuggling work is still very good. The food in the family is digested very slowly. Everyone thinks it is the function of konjac noodles.Hey, hey, vermicelli are sold at grocery stores, twenty cents a catty.

I asked a lot of prices, and I only bought five catties of cotton in the back of the town when I went shopping with my children. The main reason is that I don’t have enough money in my pocket.

After returning home, it took two days to take out the cotton from the cotton jacket at home, and sew it with new cotton for the baby and my own cotton clothes and trousers. In the rest of the time, I started to stock up on firewood. This year, the two green mountains will be destroyed. Everyone The guy has to climb another mountain to find firewood.

Half a month has passed since early winter, and the weather suddenly changed. When I woke up overnight, it was white outside, and it was snowing.Unlike the kangs in the north, the southwestern region can only rely on the fire for heating.

The couple who reunited in the space at night began to discuss the weather:
"Hey, husband, come and see! The stone has changed!"

"What new feature is this? An upgrade or something? It looks amazing!"

The big stone that was originally placed in the courtyard of the space was in the shape of yin and yang and eight trigrams, with ice fog on one side and dryness on the other. It seems that because the geographical location and weather of the two owners of the space are very different, the stone was split. Humanized.

"The situation at home is okay. As long as it rains next spring and sows rice, we can get through it. What's the situation here?"

"The territory of the eight prefectures is basically divided up. We King Shu only got the two prefectures near the west. There is no big war, but there are constant small battles. We all want to be the boss, right? The east has money, and the century-old families in the south are not weak. Those of us The recruits have been cut in half after two years, and you man has only become so good now."

"Hey! I'm not a bald soldier at last, it's ok! How did you do it?"

"Well, you are the only one left after all these people die, and you will be upgraded in place!"

"This, this is too cruel! Husband, you have to live well! It doesn't matter if you get promoted and get rich, as long as you come back alive."

蜀王本来的藩地有8府32州160县，加上抢来的腹地2府，现在蜀王有10府40州170县的地盘了（还是最少的）；南边宁王有13府48州190县，排名第二；地盘最大最有钱的是东边的鲁王，坐拥17府60州220县。

At this time, the three vassals and the imperial court have formed a trend of drawing the river and ruling, and the little emperor of the capital owns the land of 40 northern prefectures.There are twice as many soldiers and horses as the three vassal kings combined.

"Then tell me, when will this battle last?"

"The king of Shu has iron, the king of Lu has money, and the king of Ning has power. There is no battle to tell the difference!"

"What do you think of our King of Shu?"

"When the barracks arrived, there were still orders and prohibitions. I heard that he was only 26 years old. In addition to the tight logistics, the weapons could still be guaranteed. He was calm."

"What else can we do besides being a leader?"

"I'm a soldier who doesn't know a single word. Before my predecessor, I was doing odd jobs and farming in the county. I don't have any technical background. I plan to fight while enlightening, and try to get rid of this illiterate hat."

"No one in Yuan's family can read!"

"Can you send the two to school?"

"Let's see in spring, this can be arranged." It was another ten-minute eating and drinking exchange space meeting.

Watching the black tiger and the black panther having fun in the space, it has only been a month, and they have grown up visibly with the naked eye. The two dogs are very spiritual, and they can understand simple commands, especially when they shout nainai, they run fast.
