Heartless Prince's Palm

Chapter 5 Hit a Wall
The village chief didn't say a word. Based on his experience, not to mention tax reduction, it's considered good without military service. I heard that the north is not peaceful. Before the earthquake, the mayor summoned them and asked each village to report a list For families with more than two males, one may be drawn.

"Let's get through the current difficulties first, Dazheng, does your father still not believe it?"

Ye Hu has been in the army for more than ten years, if it weren't for Ye Wu's ability, these children would not be able to support them.

"My father must still be alive, mother said, she has never dreamed about it once, so he must be alive."

Ye Zheng comforted herself, and Ye Ying nodded again and again. The family wanted to build a grave for her father, but her mother said nothing, and firmly believed that the man was not dead.

"I'm afraid you don't know that the emperor is going to conscript again. Beimo has been drought-stricken since last year. I heard that even the grass is withered. They have nothing to eat. They must come and grab it."

Ye Zheng's father went to northern Xinjiang back then.

Ye Xing was lying in her mother's arms, but her ears were stretched over there. She found that her other abilities had disappeared, only her mental strength was still there, and her eyesight and hearing were very good.

Grandmother is so difficult, no wonder she looks older than her peers, although she keeps her hands and feet all day long, her complexion is always bad,

"Grandma, you drink water,"

She handed her the water bottle, which contained the freshly filled Lingquan, without boiling it, the effect would be much better.

"Hey, drink it yourself, you won't be thirsty for milk."

Under her insistence, Mrs. Ye still drank half of the bottle. After all, it was given by her granddaughter. The water is so sweet.

After a difficult journey, the group finally arrived in Fengxian County. They looked at the tall gate tower and stopped on the open space in front of the gate. The gate was indeed closed. After inquiring, they found out that it was only open for two hours a day. Each person has to pay five copper coins.

"Isn't this robbing people? How much can you earn by doing odd jobs for a day, uncle, do you really want to stay?"

"I'm not leaving. After a while, I have to go back to the village. I heard that if I find a job and have a guarantee from my employer, I won't charge money at the door."

After all, he is the head of a village, and he shoulders the responsibility. The other three families also plan to stay.

The Ye family decided to continue heading south and go to the uncle's house as originally planned.

Going forward, there were obviously fewer people on the road, and the weather was good and bad, and they walked quickly, because the food had bottomed out, even if it was unpalatable, it was gone.

"The fork in front is the way into the village, you just wait here, I will go with the boss to have a look."

Grandma covered the sun with one hand and pointed forward with the other. She hasn't been back for more than ten years, and it's unknown whether she can enter the house.

The second child was worried and wanted to follow, so he told his nephew a few words, then raised his legs to catch up.

"The wheat here is all grouted, brother and sister, if we can go to my uncle's house, shall we have something to eat?"

Auntie Qi, although she has a lot of thoughts, her husband and children are her heaven.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult. I heard from the child's father that when the family separated, because the father-in-law was away, our family almost left the house. They were starving in the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month. Mother took the uncle to borrow food, but came back empty-handed." , if it weren't for the help from the clan, that winter would not be able to survive.

"What's there to be afraid of? If you don't want to stay with us, I'll be a wheat guest with dad. The wheat here is almost ripe. After two months of work, I'm sure I can save money!"

Ye Wei is 15 years old, just like a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, he stands on the air vent with high spirits, speaking heroic words.

But Ye Xing already had an idea in her heart. When passing Feng County, she figured out that there are too many people fleeing, and there must be a lot of odd jobs. The wages will be very low. It is not a good way, and the traffic in the county is increasing. It must be nice to do a small business.

Food is the most important thing for the people, and it is best to use a food stall. Although the profit is not large, the cost is also low, which is very suitable for her family.

After waiting for a full two hours, they finally came back. Looking at the three long shadows, Ye Xing knew that they had hit a wall.

"Mother~"

The uncle was about to ask, but was pushed away by the uncle.
"Let's go, we discussed it with mother, the village chief and the others are staying in Feng County, we have hands and feet, are we afraid of going hungry?"

As soon as he finished his words, he heard two grunts. This can't be blamed on Ye Wei. After eating the last dry food in the morning, he still doesn't know where the next meal will be.

Mrs. Ye was dumbfounded, and was put into the car by her sons. It turned out that after they were rejected, they went to the grave to burn paper.

"Uncle, have you made up your mind with Dad? Do we have a place to stay?"

This question is very important. If it’s sunny, it doesn’t matter to sleep in the open, but these days it often rains, and the bedding can’t be dry, and it won’t work after a long time.

"First, let's talk outside the city first. Once your father and I find a job, we will have a solution."

"There are so many people, it may not be easy to find a job,"

She spoke slowly, the uncle was already very worried, but when he heard this, his face became even darker.

"Kids, don't worry about it, we will definitely find a job." This is to comfort the family, but it sounds more like comforting myself.

Ye Xing didn't intend to shut up, she made a movement of ear,

"Listen, what is calling in the field?"

"What's the matter, isn't it just a toad?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at the little girl and was stunned. Why did she smile so strangely.

"Father, this isn't a toad, it's a frog. Its meat is delicious. Have you ever eaten it?"

"Of course I've eaten it, but it's not easy to catch. Dad was also naughty when he was a child, and the ones he caught were roasted, and the sticky ones were not very tasty."

"We don't eat it, we can catch it and sell it for money,"

The mother stretched out her hand and touched her head. The daughter might be starving and stupid. This thing can catch one in half a day. Who would buy it to eat and sell it for money?It's hard to satisfy one's own hunger.

"Xing'er, tell grandma, how do you sell this thing for money?"

The grandmother, who had been silent for a long time, asked suddenly. She was convinced that this granddaughter was Fu Xing, and she had buried this idea in her heart since she rescued the boss.

"If the frog is cooked, it tastes fresher than pork. The rich will definitely like it. Let's catch it tonight and sell it to a restaurant in Fengxian County, and we will earn the first money."

This is her first pot of gold. With the capital, small businesses can be started. Uncle is right, they will definitely not be hungry if they have hands and feet!
Seeing her excited look, no one can bear to pour cold water, will the frog wait for you to catch it?People can jump and jump, and why should they be caught at night? It's not even more invisible.

"Don't you believe it? Dad, look there is a lot of hay over there. Let's cut it and make some torches. It will be useful at night."

They don't know that frogs have a characteristic, they won't move when they see light, and when the time comes, they will be sure to catch them. When they arrive in Fengxian County, she will find a way to sell a vegetable recipe and at least build a nest that can shelter from the wind and rain.

After hearing her explanation, everyone was dubious, but with the support of grandmother, uncle and father let her command, not only prepared torches, but also prepared bags, and waited for the darkness to show off.
