Chapter 269
Ning Wan and her daughter quickly adapted to life in Huju Mountain.

Although Tuwozi is simple, it is easy to get used to it. Every day when you go out, you have to go up a few steps to get to the ground. When you come back, you naturally have to go down the steps. The windows of the house are too small and too dark, so she often takes her daughter outside to bask in the sun. ; but the smoke from burning charcoal was heavy. She was worried that Sophora japonica could not bear it and would not use it, so she boiled water and filled the hot water bag to warm the bed first. Easy, counting is also an advantage!

The world surrounded by the stone wall is not big, and there are not many people living in it. There are only a few dozen families, and the total number of adults and children is only a few hundred.Ning Wan soon became familiar with everyone, after all, some of them she had met in the old house, or had some other origins, such as the girl Peiyu next to Lu Baihu who was Mrs. Ruxu Zongqi's wife used to follow her mother-in-law to command Tongzhi's wife and she had acquaintance with him in the commander's office.

As the wife of a thousand households, Ning Wan has become the center of the female relatives on Huju Mountain without hesitation.But she not only socialized and joked with everyone, but in two or three days she took the women's family members to make shoes for the soldiers in the army.It turned out that when she was defending the city, she had heard people say that the military uniforms were released by the imperial court on a regular basis, and there was not much shortage in the army, but shoes were expensive and hard to find.

Now trace the shoes of the soldiers, find some old cloth to make the soles, and Ning Wan buys a few bolts of black cloth to make the uppers and a few bolts of white cloth to make the shoe uppers, and some white cloth for the lining. It didn't take long for the soldiers on Huju Mountain to put on new shoes.

When Tieshi found out, he took 100 taels of silver to subsidize, and even took Lu Baihu and the two general flags to thank her and the female relatives in front of everyone. It turned out that the shoes they made compared to their own feet were really right for everyone. I am very grateful for your thoughts, especially those bachelors who are not married.

In fact, the female relatives who helped make shoes were not blind to money. Everyone was willing to come from good intentions at the beginning, but with the 100 taels of silver, it was different. Not to mention buying a lot of cloth, hemp rope, cotton, etc., everyone was motivated. It was more comfortable, and it didn't take long to make another pair of replacements for everyone, and I also planned to make winter cotton shoes in advance.

Later, these situations spread from Huju Mountain to the various shops below, so the female family members of the entire Qianhusuo began to make shoes for the army, and it became a rule.

Tie Shi thanked his daughter-in-law outside, and when he returned home, he would like to express his condolences again and again, "When you come here, not only is your home different, but there is also a new atmosphere outside. I have to thank you again!"

In fact, it doesn’t take much fabric to make shoes, and the effort is limited. It saves a lot of time for everyone to do it together.It was through her own dream that Ning Wan easily found the most flattering way.But Tieshi was obviously taking advantage of the public and benefiting himself, so she smiled and said: "Since you thank me, just stand up and respectfully salute me as you did outside, that's decent." After receiving the gift from the men, I felt so comfortable!

Ning Wan always felt in her heart that the 100 taels of silver that Tie Shi gave was nothing, but what moved everyone was the gift from the men.Although husband and wife are one body, is it not true that men are superior to women in this world?All women are just men bowing their hands and asking to go out when receiving a marriage. After that, only women take care of the housework for men, give birth to children, take care of their parents, and obey men. They respect men in everything. When it comes to saluting, only women give If a man salutes, there is no reason for a man to salute a woman!

Now the female relatives are respected by the men, and they are more self-respecting and self-respecting. Although everyone is not as strong as the men and cannot fight against bandits, but when it comes to other things, they are actually very important. Women are really indispensable in the world.

At this time, Ning Wan's tone could not help but be filled with complacency.

How could Lu Tieshi be willing to move when he was leaning on his daughter-in-law, "The etiquette outside is different from that at home." After only two years of marriage, a strong man in his early twenties survived a winter alone in Huju Mountain. The feeling is really indescribable ah!Now that his daughter-in-law is here, how can he be willing to separate, he just wants to stick together when he returns to the house.

"I can't say no to you," Ning Wan deliberately pretended to be angry and said, "I won't make your shoes, I'll let Mrs. Bai do it for you later!"

"That's not good, I only wear what you made." Because at home, Tie Shi quarreled with his wife, "If you don't make it for me, I'll go out barefoot and see where your face is placed!" Daughter-in-law always wants to save face Yes, not only does she keep her own things neat and tidy, but she also finds ways to be more ingenious than others.

In fact, Ning Wan is not willing to hand over Tieshi's personal things to others, "Seeing how pitiful you are, I'd better make shoes for you." But she said with a smile: "Now Mrs. Bai doesn't have time to do anything else, Lao Lin's She still can't handle things, so I promised her a month's leave."

When they arrived at Huju Mountain, Ning Wan made a fuss about marrying Lao Lin and the Bai family. The two had their long-cherished wish fulfilled, and Ning Wan also felt that it should be taken for granted. On weekdays, it's really thanks to Mrs. Bai for taking care of trivial matters.Even if Mrs. Bai is married, since she is willing to help her by her side, of course she has to keep someone.

Everyone was even more delighted, it turns out that there is no stale air in the army, even if those who have passed through the front line know Bai's previous experience, they will not complain in any way. The so-called remarriage in the world is just a joke to them.At the wedding banquet, Lao Lin's former comrades drank a large bowl of wine and ate meat, and had an extremely heated bridal chamber before letting the newlyweds go.

Although this marriage is late, it is really right to do it here.

Tie Shi was also happy that Lao Lin, who followed him, was able to marry a wife. He gave Lao Lin 50 taels of silver when he first heard the news, and asked him to handle the wedding decently, so as not to wrong the bride.Now go and gag your daughter-in-law, "We don't care about others, you come to Huju Mountain and you don't have time to spend more time with me!"

Ning Wan smiled and went to coax him again, "It's time to go and see those treasures." Thinking that piles of gold are not far away, she can wait for more than a month before going to see, "I'm really determined Extraordinary power!"

"I know that my daughter-in-law only has me and Huai Hua'er in her heart. As for Wan'er, what is ten thousand taels of gold in Wan'er's eyes!"

Ning Wan laughed out loud at the compliment.

On the second day, Ning Wan handed Sophora japonica to Wan Shi, and followed Tie Shi into the cave.

One entrance of the cave was originally the back door of the house where she lived, but Tie Shi blocked it with stones because he wanted to come here, and built a wall outside.Now they can only go in from another place, which was also covered by the bandit leader with an earthen nest.

Although Ning Wan grew up in a mountain village, she has seen many caves, but she gained a lot of insight after getting into the cave of Huju Mountain.It turns out that mountains are different from mountains, and caves are also different from caves.

There are few trees on the mountains here, and the grass is not too dense, but there are big rocks all over the mountains.And this cave is also in the big rock.The long, dark, narrow, and winding cave made people feel fear unconsciously.

But there was Tie Shi beside her, and he was holding her hand tightly, Ning Wan slowly relaxed, looking around with the lantern carried by Tie Shi, there were rocks of different shapes everywhere, and the wind blowing from the cave Passing through, there is a strange whistling sound, occasionally mixed with the sound of water droplets falling from nowhere, which is quite strange, even if there is no treasure, it is worth visiting.

After looking around for a while, Ning Wan asked in a low voice, "Have you all been here before?" The voice echoed in the cave, and Ning Wan quickly stopped talking.

But Lu Tieshi knew what she wanted to say, so he smiled and said: "At that time, everyone came in when searching for the bandit leader. Later, some people came here for a while. It's just that everyone had enough shopping. Recently, people don't come here very often."

As they said that, they arrived at the exit outside the stone wall, where the bandit leader had escaped from.Ning Wan was surprised when she saw that there were no soldiers guarding her, "If someone still knows the secret of the cave, wouldn't it be too bad if they came here quietly?"

Lu Tieshi just laughed, "I was looking forward to someone coming!"

Ning Wan thought of the soldiers at the entrance and suddenly understood that Tie Shi was opening his net and waiting for someone who knew the secret of the cave.Perhaps just around here, there are also soldiers under his command.

Seeing her looking around, Lu Tieshi patted her on the head and said, "I didn't let anyone go here, but there are patrols outside."

"Has no one come for so long?"

Lu Tieshi nodded.

It seems that only the bandit leader knows the secret of the cave, and the treasure should be the same.

Lu Tieshi took her hand, "Go, I'll take you there to have a look!"

It turns out that the caves where the treasure is hidden are also connected, which is why the bandit leader was able to discover the treasure in the first place.The iron stone had already blocked the entrance outside, so he took her back through the cave again, turned east and west, drilled through several small caves, and moved a few big rocks blocking the way, Ning Wan had already refused to argue. From east to west, north to south, she suddenly entered a wide cave, and a mountain of gold suddenly appeared in front of her.

The ingot-like, horseshoe-like, and long strips and leaf-shaped pieces of gold were piled up there like dung, and they were covered with a thick layer of dust, but there was still a golden light under the light of the lantern. Shining, with the mysterious allure of the surrounding dark rock walls.

This kind of scene is actually very shocking. Ning Wan originally thought that she would faint from excitement when she saw the piles of gold, but in fact, she just got a little excited and then calmed down again. She picked a piece of gold from the pile of gold, Wipe off the dust and take a closer look, "The color is good, and there is no mark on it, so it doesn't matter if you take out a few pieces and use it, but if you want too much, it will fall into the eyes of those who are interested."

"That's right," he said, "I've never seen my daughter-in-law use a lot of jewelry, but I'm afraid of revealing something, and such a large amount of gold, "Just a little bit more will be discovered."

Apparently Tieshi needs a lot of money, Ning Wan knew that he used to farm and train in Huju Mountain, so she asked with a smile, "What do you need money for now?"

"There are a lot of things to do right now, preventing banditry, repairing roads and roads, all of which are extremely costly, and more importantly, I want to train an army that can resist the barbarians!"

No matter how the situation changes, Tieshi's plan to train troops has never changed.Thinking that the Yi people will go south within two years, Ning Wan couldn't help asking in surprise: "You know the Yi people are coming?"

Wan'er had asked herself about the barbarians going south before, and it seemed that she also understood that the barbarian wolf ambitions had never changed, just like herself, "I only know that they will definitely come, so I have to be ready at any time. "

It is precisely because he has been prepared that everyone in Hutai County has a chance of survival because of him. When Ning Wan was about to give him an idea, Tie Shi said: "This gold is exactly what I want to use, but it is not like this. Take it out, I already have a good idea." Pulling her hand and laughing, "It happens that you like doing business, and I have to discuss it with you."
