Plane Mall: I became a group favorite by hoarding goods

Chapter 74. The Tragedy Outside the Village
Cheng Xi felt that the house was much deserted.

"Isn't the patrol team bringing back prey every few days? What's different this time?"

"Yes, yes, this time we found five wild boars, each weighing four to five hundred catties!"

Cheng Xi was suddenly surprised.

What a bumper harvest!

So much meat is enough to feed the village for a long time.

The pressure on Lizheng should also be relieved a lot. In the past few days, he has suffered from toothache and mouthache because of bandits eating too much.

At this time, in the Shen family's ancestral hall, the Scarface and the others looked at Shen Xingluo who was surrounded by patrols, their faces full of perplexity.

"What's the situation, didn't we catch the prey?"

"When did it become his?"

"This is our ration for the past few days"

"It's been a long time of hard work, and no one is willing to see it?"

Are you guys going too far?

When we don't exist!
Scar's face was so depressed that he just wanted to vomit blood.

But he dared not say a word.

There is no way, I can't fight and fight, I can't run, I can only do whatever I want.

Xiao Liu also looked dejected, looking up at the sky, "When will the snow stop?"

To say that when they were in the cottage before, they absolutely didn't care about natural disasters or not.

There is a natural disaster?It doesn't matter, if you don't have anything to eat, go down and grab it.

If there is nothing to eat at the foot of the mountain, then run farther to grab it elsewhere, so that you will not starve yourself.

But now it seems that it doesn't matter at all?
This fucking relationship is getting bigger!

It never occurred to me that when the snowstorm hit, it was not the people of Shenjia Village who suffered the most, but those bandits who relied on brute force to eat!

It's outrageous!
Scarface approached the outermost Shen Mandun, "That Lizheng, after hunting so many prey today, you don't have to go up the mountain in the next few days, right?"

They want to rest!

In the cold weather, wandering around the mountains is not only exhausting but also exhausting.

Shen Mantun's wrinkled face was pulled down instantly because of this sentence.

"What, want to rest?"

"Ah yes yes yes."

"impossible!"

He glared at several people, "There are no windows!"

Still want to rest?Just count your most edible!

If you are not in charge of the family, you don’t know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt. Do you know how much I have spent on eating for you?

"What are you still poking here for? Move stones for me!"

"!!!"

The scarred face suddenly looked mournful.

Move rocks?
Let us do all the work in this village, you don't have a conscience!
What the hell is going on in this village, everyone looks kind and kind, so why don't they deal with human affairs?
When Cheng Xi and Shen Xingqi came over, they happened to see the eight of them walking out with their heads bowed.

Shen Mantun followed behind, arrogantly.

It's like a housekeeper of a landlord's overseer.

"Uncle Mantun, what's the matter?"

"These people are disobedient and very impetuous. I'll ask them to do some work and reflect on themselves."

The scarred face did not refute, his face was indifferent, and his heart was like still water.

Cheng Xi froze for a moment, his eyes flicked past them.

I always feel that the state of these people is a bit like Zhuang Kun getting closer. Well, the kind of lifeless.

"Then you are busy."

A few people stepped into the yard with both feet, and saw a group of people surrounding the five strong wild boars.

"Catch, catch, quick!"

"It's so heavy, the two of you can't hold on anymore!"

"Have all five been killed?"

"Kill them all, let the aunts pickle them today."

Cheng Xi looked up at the rest of the yard. There were a lot of cured meat hanging densely around, all made by Lizheng's wife and everyone.

This is the wealth of Shenjia Village, and it is their confidence.

There is meat and food!
***
Cheng Xi spent the whole afternoon helping the aunts to process pork in the ancestral hall.

There are too many, five big wild boars add up to over 2000 catties, and they are simply too busy.

"Hey, Aunt Cuihua is back!"

"How about going to my mother's house this time, is it okay there?"

Women get together to gossip, but Shenjia Village has been closed for too long, and there has been no new news for a long time.

Aunt Cuihua went to her natal home early in the morning, and received an unprecedented welcome when she came back.

But what is surprising is that the person concerned went out for a trip, as if he had lost his soul, and the whole person was dumbfounded.

"Aunt Cuihua, Aunt Cuihua?"

what's wrong?

Aunt Cuihua whimpered and cried, "It's gone, it's gone!"

The Great Yan Dynasty was a standard ancient feudal dynasty.

People live on the crops in their own one-third of an acre of land. If the weather is good, they can live a stable year, but if there is a natural disaster, they have to tighten their belts to live.

Even if the weather is good, for many people, it is only the point where they will be able to eat enough.

In ancient times, taxes accounted for too much, and most of the annual harvest was handed over, and the remaining part would be sold for silver, and then some cheap grains such as black noodles were bought to satisfy the hunger.

It would be nice to have a skill, but most people lived off the money they got from the field.

Since Lin'an Mansion closed the city gate, the people's hard days have come.

The snow is heavy, the cold is eroding, and there is no food.

If the environment is bad, there will be more troubles.

In the Shen family's ancestral hall, the return of Aunt Cuihua seemed to have triggered some kind of signal, and many visiting relatives came back one after another throughout the afternoon.

Everyone's spirits were greatly stimulated.

"There are not many people left in Xiahe Village next door. My elder sister who married off only left two children hiding in the cellar."

"More than half of the houses in Lijia Village, which is further away, collapsed, and many old people were buried in it."

"God damn local ruffian, the Huangxing Village in the south was not robbed of food by bandits, but was given a lot by some scoundrels in the village!"

In just three months, half of the population of the surrounding ten miles and eight villages disappeared.

Starved to death, frozen to death, buried by house beams, bandits killed, villagers killed each other
The few villagers who visited relatives and friends witnessed all kinds of life in one day.

At the same time, I am glad that Shenjia Village is still in good condition.

"You don't know, they are miserable."

Most of the women in the village are married from other villages. Who doesn't have many relatives?
They never expected that this snowstorm would separate them forever.

"I brought back the two children of my aunt's family, and there is no shortage of food for them at home, alas—"

"The head of the family also plans to send some food over tomorrow, my sister is so hungry!"

"It's a good thing to be alive."

The women who were working that afternoon were depressed, all sighed and listless, and completely lost their previous energy.

Cheng Xi listened quietly to the situation outside the village without speaking.

"From the Xingluo family, this is what you want, let's see if it can be used?"

Uncle Shuanzi's mother-in-law came to the ancestral hall to help, and brought what she wanted along the way.

"It's done so soon?"

"It's just a few boards, no trouble!"
