My whole family is punching cards in the farming article to survive

In the early morning of the second day, when Mei Berry opened the closed window again and looked at the Jinlan River, she was stunned.

It seemed that the silvery waves surging under the moon last night were all illusions.

Now it seems that the river water has returned to the same state as it was yesterday afternoon.

She put on her clothes and went directly to the backyard to look closer at the river below the mountain again, this time Mei Berry couldn't help but gasped.

The width of the river is no longer what the so-called "Jade Belt Holds Pearls" can describe. To put it bluntly, the current Yunzhou City is now bound by a big pile of rotten cloth.

The surrounding area was full of water, and even the Yanzhou Grassland on the opposite side was flooded a lot.

"I'm going to die, so much water has risen!"

Mei Berry's face was ugly, she turned and went to the front yard, where Wei Meimei was drying clothes.

"Mother, where is my father?"

"I went out. Early in the morning, he heard what the neighbors were talking about outside the city. He didn't know what was going on. She went out to inquire."

Hearing this, Mei Berry's mood also sank.

"Breakfast is heated on the stove for you, hurry up and eat."

Even Wei Meili, who was always calm and relaxed, was a little irritable when she was drying her clothes today, and she was obviously worried about what happened outside this morning.

Sitting under the eaves with the bean porridge cooked by her mother, Mei Berry had just swallowed a mouthful of warm bean porridge when she heard her father's voice from the entrance.

"Oh, Detective Wang, thank you this time, it's not easy for you.

There are so many people here all of a sudden... a group of three steps, and a group of five steps look scary~ Behind this..."

Listening to Mei Youqian's words getting smaller and smaller, Mei Berry drank the bean porridge in one gulp and approached the entrance with her old mother tacitly.

But as soon as they got closer, there was a sound of closing the courtyard door, and my father came back with a resentful expression on his face.

There was also a fish in his hand that he didn't know where it came from.

"Soldiers from Jinghuguan entered the city yesterday. It is said that more than half of Jinghuguan was flooded. The soldiers near here could only enter the city, and many of them went directly into the mountains."

"Go into the mountains? How dangerous is it in the mountains after it rains?"

Hearing her mother's exclamation, Mei Berry soon remembered that she had seen Jinghuguan soldiers have a camp on the mountain on the map.

Getting into the mountains is not impossible.

"I don't know about that, but I don't think these soldiers who entered the city are anything to give."

Mei Youqian and his wife also suddenly heard noises coming from the alley this morning, so he went out to have a look.

As a result, the good guys on this street can see a soldier within two steps.

After careful inquiry, the neighbors in the neighborhood went to the street early in the morning and ran into this group of soldiers, and they quarreled.

Those soldiers quarreled and drew their swords.

When he walked out of the alley in the morning, there was still a pool of blood on the ground.

"Previously... the new Zhizhou and Tongpan haven't taken office yet."

Mei Berry suddenly reminded of such a thing.

Now that the soldiers of Jinghuguan are entering the city, it is obvious that the power in this city is most likely in the hands of the general guarding Jinghuguan.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many soldiers on the street, and these people don't seem to have been fenced off by others.

Mei Berry still remembered that there was a secret road connecting Fucheng and Jinghuguan in the previous map, but the secret road was narrow, and it was impossible to send so many all of a sudden.

It still came from the road outside.

"By the way, where did you get this fish from?"

Wei Meiliang took the fish from Mei Youqian's hand, and was surprised to see that the fish was still alive and kicking.

"It's quite fresh."

Plum Berry also saw it.

"Someone couldn't stop going out of the city. Yesterday, he went to see where the rising river was. When he saw that there were still a lot of fish in the water, he dropped a net and caught them this morning... Hey!"

When he went to the market this morning, the market was pretty sparse these days because of the rain, so maybe this fish stall had the best business today.

Few people ate fish in Jinshui Village, but there were quite a few people in Jinbai County and Yunzhou Fucheng.

"Unfortunately, in the end, when there was a lot left, they were all taken away by the soldiers at once, and no money was given."

When Mei Youqian finally said this, he deliberately suppressed his voice:

"The fish boss was about to cry at that time, but fortunately others comforted him that the fish was an accidental addition, so there is no need to be so sad."

"That's right, even though the water has risen, it takes strength and skill to catch the fish, and besides, it's a waste of time to bring the fish back early in the morning? What are you thinking?"

Wei Meili doesn't agree with Mei Youqian's words of consolation at all.

If it were for her to be the fish seller's boss, she would cry to death!
Mei Berry couldn't help frowning when she heard this.

"I want to go to Jiubaoxuan..."

"Oh, don't. The way it looks outside now, it's not just for us to go out casually. You still want to go to Jiubaoxuan, what do you think?"

Mei Youqian has been outside.

"It's almost impossible to see unmarried girls walking around outside now, those soldiers are not serious, what if they scare you?

If I hadn't met Catcher Wang on the way back just now, the fish might have been taken away at the entrance of the alley. "

Mei Youqian is not at all worried about Mei Berry going out alone, ah, even if his wife is with him, he is not at ease either.

But when Mei Berry heard that these people even snatched things from the hands of ordinary people, Mei Berry couldn't help but thump.

"No, I have to go to Jiubaoxuan to ask about the situation!"

Mei Berry persisted, and even called Mei You, who also insisted on staying with Mei Berry, Mei Youqian had no choice but to go out again, sending the two daughters to Jiubaoxuan.

Along the way, Mei Berry and Mei You were stopped and interrogated several times while walking on the road wearing a veiled hat, but fortunately Mei Youqian was there to help block them.

While Mei Berry and Mei You breathed a sigh of relief, they hated people like Jinghuguan more and more in their hearts.

Arriving at Jiubaoxuan, shopkeeper Ma was also surprised by Mei Berry's arrival, and his eyes fell on Mei Youqian, full of disapproval.

Why did you let the two little ladies come over at this time?

"How much do you know about the soldiers at Jinghuguan outside?"

Mei You got straight to the point, and shopkeeper Ma led the three of them into the shop. Jiubaoxuan had already closed its doors and closed its business these days.

"There was a lot of movement in the city last night. There were about 2 people. I woke up with a start."

"Twenty thousand."

Let's not talk about how Shopkeeper Ma calculated it, at least the number is quite a lot, after all her father heard that there are still many camps in the mountains near Jinghu Pass.

Shopkeeper Ma smiled and nodded, but Mei Berry looked around and asked, "Wang Beigu and the others? Aren't they resting here?"

"There is a house above, and they are all on it. Do you want to see the owner?"

"Ah, that's not true. If you know the shopkeeper, I won't ask, and it's the same with you."

Mei Berry didn't mean to meet Wang Beigu, as long as she could get the information she wanted.

Shopkeeper Ma shook his head when he heard this, and said, "In the future, the two young ladies should not go to the market. There are many soldiers here. There are fewer officers and soldiers in the area where the second and third ranks are located, which is much more convenient."

When mentioning some soldiers outside, shopkeeper Ma also showed a little disgust in his eyes.

Obviously, it's not that non-indigenous people like Mei Berry hate serving as soldiers here, even the aboriginals don't like these people.

"These people went to the city last night in a hurry, and they didn't bring anything else."

Shopkeeper Ma added such a sentence at the end, and a lot of things can be deduced after careful consideration of these words.

"They didn't even bring food and grass. Is that what you mean?"

Mei Berry immediately understood what shopkeeper Ma meant, and seeing her nodding, Mei Berry's expression turned ugly.

"Treasurer Ma, do you know how much food is in the official warehouse in Yunzhou Fucheng?"

When Mei Berry asked, Mei You also looked at Shopkeeper Ma.

This made Ma Treasurer, who had originally provided Mei Berry with ideas in this regard, laugh at himself:

"This... I don't know." Shopkeeper Ma shook his head, "But, it should be much less than the account..."

In this flood, anyone who is familiar with farming can't help frowning when they look at the flood below the mountain.

This year, the autumn harvest is over.

Everyone seemed to be counting on Guancang, including the soldiers who went up the mountain overnight.

Now hearing Shopkeeper Ma's answer, everyone felt that a huge boulder had been crushed in their hearts...
