Chapter 74 A Stable Life

Shengxing, Hong Feiyang, Sheng Xuewu, Ah Wu, Ah Qi, and Tiedan were also on board the boat together, and the six of them escorted two boxes of wages to the county government of Xin'an County.

After finishing the work, I can only walk the mountain road to Kaner Village, and then go back to Daxia Castle over the mountain.

Of the boatmen on Wang Xingwang's boat, only five homeless people remained.

Ziyu let the five of them live in a courtyard, and also provided them with food and daily necessities such as quilts and cotton clothes.

Five men, food and housing are guaranteed, and there is no need to worry about life.

Daxia Bay is rich in fish, as long as you are willing to do it, you don't have to worry about eating it every meal.

"Thank you little brother for taking me in, thank you little brother!"

The five boatmen were very grateful for the new quilts and new clothes.

They knew very well that the young master in front of them didn't need to care about them at all.

As Wang Xingwang's boatman, although the salary is good, compared with this, it's a double sky.

As soon as the workers left, the rest of the people in the valley were their own people, each of them had a new destination, and of course they started their own fire.

Large and small pots and jars are placed on the main road, and men and women fetch water for washing together.

Wang Xingwang's family and Bao Jiu's family also helped out. Because of the simple population of Gu Zhong, everyone got acquainted quickly.

Ten children hugged each other and ran around playing in the valley. Xiao Luo, who had a new playmate, bluffed happily from far away.

Wang Xingwang and Bao Jiu, who didn't wash their hands, stood on the slope with Ziyu and chatted.

"Little brother, you are so thoughtful, you even bought the jars for storing things.

That's how I can thank you as well! "Bao Jiu cupped his fists and gave a salute.

He didn't expect that his old mother would come out with him, so it's good to keep her by his side, so he doesn't have to worry about it all the time.

"There is nothing to be thankful for. Bring people back to get more good ingredients, and heat a small pot around the stove when the mountains are covered by heavy snow. If you want to eat some delicacies from mountains and seas, you can grab them.

Oops, it's pleasant to think about! "

"Hahaha, this little brother's request must be met.

The kelp and seaweed you mentioned have prepared a few big baskets, except for the big ones in the mountains, I can handle the others. "Bao Jiuyi patted his chest and promised.

Collecting ingredients is his forte, so this can be regarded as making the best use of it!

"Wow!"

Hearing the familiar chirping of the eagle, Ziyu raised her head to see that big guy with wings and gliding coming again.

The two followed Ziyu's gaze, and Wang Xingwang exclaimed.

"This is an eagle! Its wings are nearly two feet long. This big guy has a strong attack power."

"This is a sea eagle that feeds mainly on fish, and the abundance of fish in Daxia Bay attracts many birds.

There are two sea eagles that often come to hunt, so they should be a family.

Brother Wang should have heard of boiled eagles!If you can subdue these two guys, it will definitely be great. "

Ziyu, who was eager to see, made up Haidiao's idea, and the words frightened the two men to take a step away.

"Little brother, your idea is a bit scary.

That is a vulture, which is very different from an eagle.

Besides, boiling the eagle is a secret technique only known to certain tribes in the north.

It is said that young birds are used to boil the eagle, and a claw of such a big eagle can scratch its head through.

You must not have such thoughts, it is too dangerous! "Wang Xingwang painstakingly persuaded.

The days finally settle down, but don't make any mistakes again.

In order to divert Ziyu's dangerous thoughts, there are no outsiders in the valley, Wang Xingwang said mysteriously.

"Little brother, last time I went back to Jiangfu to do a big thing, you can tell me if it's possible!"

"A big man, still so mysterious, tell me!"

Ziyu, who was decisively distracted, simply squatted down, and the two men followed suit.

The three squatted together mysteriously, Wang Xingwang couldn't hide the excitement in his words.

"I didn't want to touch the Wang family before, but they went too far, forcing the whole family to sleep at night.

I have been in business for the Wang family for many years, and there are always some things that cannot be seen, so I just..."

When Wang Xingwang told what he did before, Bao Jiu swallowed in fright.

"The Wang family is on three boats, it's over now!"

"Not necessarily, it's normal for a merchant to collude with the government, and it's also normal for a businessman to have contacts with bandits, the two are interlinked.

There is another saying that a family of soldiers and bandits, as long as the interests are sufficient, nothing will happen, and it cannot be achieved. "Ziyu explained Bao Jiu's confusion profoundly.

"Hey, little brother doesn't know something!

The third young master of the Wang family is very happy, he is a descendant, and his uncle's family also has a strong background.

He ignores all the brothers in the mansion, and he has done a lot of prodigal things. As long as he goes out, he will definitely have a good show! "

Wang Xingwang has been in the Wang family for many years, and he has a deep understanding of the master in the mansion. He believes that the rumors released will definitely eat a big bite of the Wang family.

It's a pity that I couldn't see it in person, and I didn't dare to go back to Jiangfu to inquire about the news.

"We can't control the things outside, it's better to prepare more food for winter.

Let's go, divide the pot! "

Distant matters are no longer within Ziyu's concern.

She assigned to each yard ten large jars that could hold a load of grain, and ten medium-sized jars that could hold half a load of grain.

The jars that are small enough to hold salt are not less divided, and the remaining [-]% of the jars are moved back to the side room of the compound for their own use.

Five hundred catties of dried fish and dried meat were allocated to each of the five courtyards, and a basket of coarse salt was distributed.

Abalone, sea cucumber, dried shrimp, dried yellow croaker and other good goods were distributed to several families in a small bag, and the remaining ten big bags belonged to Ziyu.

The three huts that were vacated became a barn, covered with thick hay.

The three wooden huts on the opposite side are full of grass cut by Sheng Xueyi when grazing. After drying, they are used as forage for the animals in winter, and they are also fed with wheat bran and bean cakes.

Everyone in the valley has settled down. Although each family has enough supplies for the winter, no one is idle.

Especially women, they can't stop for a moment, they are either busy catching the sea or doing needlework.

The men play in the yard according to their own ideas, or meet in the mountains to hunt, collect firewood, etc.

The life in the valley is busy, peaceful and rich, and no one needs to worry about life.

...

The six people who went to Xin'an County to pay wages must all return to the valley.

But his whole body was so dirty that he couldn't see it, he looked like a refugee who fled.

The six people shivering from the cold squatted in front of the fireplace to keep warm, their outstretched hands had many cuts and red spots.

"Brother Hong, you guys have been robbed!" Ziyu said, looking at the six people in rags.

"Embroidered bamboo, spring grass, hurry up and prepare some hot water and hot food for them.

Pandan served hot tea, first brought some snacks to cushion them, and then brought Jinchuang medicine. "

Ziyu, who thought that the six people had been robbed, repeatedly ordered that there might be bandit dens in the deep mountains and old forests.

If that is the case, this hidden danger must be resolved as soon as possible.

"Little brother, it's not as bad as you think, but I'm a little hungry."

Hong Feiyang drank a cup of tea and swallowed two pieces of snacks in one gulp, so his stomach didn't feel so uncomfortable.
