During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

Chapter 43 I have a measure
Luo Tingye said: "I am measured and will not mess around."

Jiang Qian analyzed: "It is best to seek the support of the military, but the news that you are still alive cannot be announced at the moment, and it is not appropriate to rush to the door to win over him. Moreover, His Majesty is old and has become more suspicious in recent years. In the military, It’s covered with my own eyeliner, and it will be exposed if I’m not careful.”

Luo Tingye picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, "I have thought of a way, but I still need Jiang Miao to help me."

Jiang Qian frowned slightly, "Could the solution have something to do with that place?"

Luo Tingye nodded, and Jiang Qian breathed a sigh of relief.

Uncle Ninth Uncle and Uncle Seventh lived not far away and had a good relationship on weekdays. When Jiang Miao came over, the daughters-in-law, granddaughter-in-law, and great-grandson daughter-in-law of the two families were getting together to do needlework. They learned that Jiang Miao wanted to sell wild vegetables. Everyone wanted to follow.

Jiang Miao was frightened and stammered: "Um... I don't know if they will give you money. It's possible that they just said that, and they don't want much. I can't take it alone."

The seventh uncle's granddaughter-in-law said, "I can't carry it alone, but we can help you carry it together. Besides, don't you have a carriage at home?"

She and Li Peilan were from the same generation, so Jiang Miao had to call each other third sister-in-law.

Jiang Miao didn’t want to find so many people. “The main reason is that they don’t want much, and if there is more, they won’t be able to eat it all.”

Seeing Jiang Miao's unnaturalness, Uncle Jiu said with a smile: "Ah Miao is right. If we take too much, people will think that we have taken them for granted. Maybe this business will be gone. I Let’s see, one from each family, let Xiao Tao and Shan Xing go with you.”

The seventh uncle passed away, and now the eldest daughter-in-law is in charge. Hearing this, she nodded and said, "Aunt Ninth is right, let the two younger ones go."

Uncle Ninth told the two great-grandsons' daughters-in-law again, "Ah Miao only found you and not anyone else. You should understand what I mean. You must do your job well and don't make any mistakes."

The two great-grandsons and daughters-in-law nodded like garlic.

Xiao Tao and Shan Xing's natal family are from the same village, and they are cousins. Xiao Tao is younger and follows Shan Xing obediently.

Seeing Jiang Miao walking further and further, the two of them stopped in fear. Xiao Tao held Shan Xing's arm tightly, and Shan Xing said bravely: "Sister A Miao, I think there are enough wild vegetables here. , why don’t we pick it here first.”

"I know the wild vegetables in front are better and more abundant, but the wild vegetables here will be gone soon."

Xiao Tao's voice was trembling, "But I heard that there are wolves and blind bears in the mountains. What if we encounter them?"

Jiang Miao was very confident, "Don't worry, I will protect you."

Shan Xing and Xiao Tao's faces were even more bitter than bitter gourds. Seeing Jiang Miao walking away, they had to follow her. Fortunately, she didn't go very far, and as she said, there was indeed a large field of wild vegetables in front of her.

"Sisters-in-law, let's dig wild vegetables here first. I'll go to the front to take a look."

Shan Xing smiled and nodded, not forgetting to tell her, "Don't go too far."

Jiang Miao looked around, found a branch that was a little thinner than her wrist, and broke it off with all her strength. She broke off all the branches and leaves on the branch in a few clicks, and made it into a relatively straight stick, which she carried on her shoulders.

Shan Xing and Xiao Tao, who were originally worried, felt a little relieved after seeing this. During last year's autumn harvest, Jiang Miao pulled up the bullock cart that had fallen into the ditch by herself. This kind of strength was not matched by any man in the village. , if they encounter wild animals, they should be able to protect them.

Jiang Miao walked along the path toward the mountain. The road was fine at first, but gradually became overgrown with weeds and became more and more difficult to walk. The stick in her hand became a tool to open the road.

She didn't dare to go any deeper.

Jiang Miao's only impression of Houshan was in winter, when every household in the village had a hard time and the river was frozen, but her second aunt still didn't want her to be idle and had to drive her out to chop wood every day. , all the firewood on the outside of the mountain had been chopped down, so she could only walk a little further inside, reaching the farthest point in the middle of the mountain.At that time, I also saw a badger that came out to look for food. I originally wanted to catch the badger and feed it to my eldest brother, but I didn't expect that the badger was too cunning. She fell and failed to catch her, but she was beaten by her second aunt when she went back.

I heard from the old people in the village that it would take a day to climb the entire mountain. There are wolves, bears, and even tigers in the mountains. However, no one has ever seen a tiger, but every year I hear that wolves in the mountains eat them. People's affairs.

Soon, she found a few more places to dig wild vegetables, marked them, and returned the same way.

On the way, Jiang Miao looked around from time to time, hoping to encounter pheasants, rabbits and the like.

At this time, the movement in the grass caught her attention. It turned out to be a group of pheasants.

Jiang Miao lamented that God was so good to her, and whatever she wanted came to her.

Not long after on the other side, Shan Xing and Xiao Tao picked two baskets of wild vegetables and were sitting under the tree to rest.

"Third sister-in-law, do you think people in the city really like to eat wild vegetables? We eat these almost every day. There is nothing delicious." Xiao Tao was curious.

Shan Xing shook his head as he cleaned the leaves on his body, "I don't understand either. Maybe people just like it. Besides, it's fine as long as this thing can be sold for money. As for who it's sold to, how they deal with it, what does it have to do with us?"

Xiao Tao nodded and came closer after a while, "I thought A Miao was a stupid girl before, but I just saw that her eyes were bright, and even her face and hair were different from ours. She seemed more beautiful."

People who don't know think she is a young lady from the city.

So lovely.

Shan Xing felt envious, "It must be because they eat well. Haven't you heard that their family eats meat every day now? If they eat well, they are naturally beautiful. It's like we can't eat meat all year round."

"That's true." Xiao Tao touched her growling belly, feeling even more envious.

If their family could eat meat every meal, she would definitely be more beautiful than Amiao.

After waiting for a while, Jiang Miao stumbled back. Different from when she left, she was obviously much more embarrassed when she came back, but no matter how embarrassed she was, she still had a pheasant in her hand.

Xiao Tao swallowed hard, "Sister Amiao, where did you get this pheasant from?"

Jiang Miao impatiently threw the pheasant to the ground, and the pheasant fainted instantly.

Shan Xing and Xiao Tao trembled, not knowing why they always felt that Jiang Miao looked a bit scary.

Jiang Miao shook before saying, "I came across this while looking for wild vegetables. There was originally a nest of them, but unfortunately I caught this one."

The pheasants in the mountains are too smart to catch.

If you call Luo Tingye next time, he will definitely throw it right.

Shan Xing breathed a sigh of relief, took the initiative to help her tie up the pheasant, and handed her her own handkerchief.
