Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 469 Are You Scared?

"Oh, sister-in-law Lin, I just said it, why did I say it back!" The timid woman hurriedly took back her words, unwilling to bear the name of ungrateful, and unwilling to give up the good life of seeing and seeing.

The sharp-tongued woman rolled her eyes and complained, "You have said all the good and bad things, but I have become a bad person instead."

After she finished speaking, she pinched the man next to her, "I don't care what you do, I won't leave anyway! It doesn't matter if he is a pirate or some evil spirit, don't try to scare my wife away! Our master With so many guards, and the stone castle is also strong, whoever comes, don’t try to bully us.”

Before the man could respond, he heard applause coming from the stone castle, "Well said!"

Since it was built, the two gates of the stone castle were opened for the first time.Two rows of heavily armed soldiers came out, followed by four maidservants, Shi Shiran, who came out in a gorgeous dress.

Maybe it's because the phoenix embroidered with gold thread on the brocade robe is too realistic, maybe it's because the pink pearls shouting from the phoenix hairpin on her head are too big, or maybe it's because the woman's expression is completely different from the sternness in the past, Everyone lowered their heads subconsciously, and kneeled down as soon as their legs bent.

"master!"

"Master!"

"lady!"

Everyone has different names, but everyone is respectful, no one dares to underestimate this woman.Let's not talk about the stories that have been spread all over the world, but just talk about the wisdom and kindness shown by the women during the days when they came to the island, and everyone sincerely admires them.

Obedience to the strong is almost a rule engraved in the bones of the weak.

"Get up!" Ding Wei replied lightly, and did not personally support her like in the past.

Everyone stood up awkwardly, glanced at the master secretly, and lowered their heads by three points.Especially the young daughter-in-law of the Shen family who said she was going home had already moved and hid behind her man.

After being silent for quite a while, Ding Wei finally spoke again, "The natives came to report earlier, and the pirates I discovered earlier have come to the island again in the past few days. I don't know the exact number of people, what equipment, and where they come from. .We are newcomers, but these pirates come and go frequently, which shows that we are at a disadvantage."

Everyone originally thought that the master would conceal the news, but they never thought that Ding Wei would speak out all aspects that were not good for their own side.So, I couldn't help but panic again.

A woman was already sobbing softly, and the men looked around vigilantly, for fear that the pirates might appear from the side at any time.

"Are you scared?" Ding Wei glanced at the crowd, and added, "To be honest, I'm scared too. The general is out, and I brought you to a deserted island to develop, and I brought two children who are less than a hundred days old. If Really, my two children will die before they grow up, and I will never see the general and the eldest son who was plundered to Da Viet again!"

Although everyone had vaguely heard of it, but today they heard what the master said, especially in such a situation, they all felt sour.The men are okay, but the women hugged their children and leaned close to their men, and couldn't help feeling more at ease. At least the family was still together, but it was much better than the master.

"but!"

Ding Wei glanced at the seaside and the distance, her expression was full of grief and indignation, "But I was afraid it would be useless, we took a big boat and bumped all the way here. We quarried mountains, cut trees to make beams, and built stone forts and docks. After escaping the rainy season, farming is about to start, and grain will be in the warehouse in three months. There is no need to pay grain taxes, no corvee service, no need to worry about being bullied by powerful people, no need to worry about wives and children being cheated by kidnappers, and no need to worry about extortion by local ruffians. Good days are just around the corner! Could it be that a group of pirates who don’t know how many people there are and how many broken ships are running away?”

Everyone followed Ding Wei's gaze and looked over. Beside the newly built stone pier by the sea, a dozen brand-new fishing boats were swaying with the waves. The stone fortress that had been scoured by the rainy season became more solid, and there were pieces of newly reclaimed farmland behind. , the mooing old cow by the field, the rosy-faced child in a small gown, the woman in a new dress...

"No! This is our new home, we won't leave!"

"Yes, we're not leaving! No matter if it's a pirate or some kind of monster, don't try to steal our stone castle, our new home!"
The men's eyes were red. After all, they carried everything on their shoulders and built it up bit by bit. When they thought of throwing it away, they would be taken over by pirates. They couldn't swallow this bad breath!

Even the women's expressions are full of reluctance and heartache. Although this place is far away from their homeland, they worked hard with their own hands, placing the hope of the whole family.

"Everyone is right, this is our homeland. No one can take it away! It's just a few pirates with an iron knife in their hands and two broken boats. It's okay to scare the natives, but they want to scare us. Absolutely not!"

Ding Wei slowly raised her right hand, which had been hidden in her sleeve, holding a thunderbolt in her palm.If people didn't know what it was before, after the day when they went ashore to frighten the natives, they have already been known to everyone. Even children playing the game of officers and soldiers catching thieves would shout Zhen Tianlei's name.

"We have a big ship, a solid stone fortress, two hundred guards, and a few boxes of thunder! If the pirates don't come, it's fine. Let them know that there are no cowards in our stone fortress." Lazy man, there is no fear of death! Taoyuan Island is our new home, and it will always be our home in the future, no one can take it away!"

"Yes, kill the pirates and protect the homeland!"

"Kill the pirates, protect the homeland!"

Everyone waved their arms, at this moment all the blood rushed to the top of their heads, wishing that the pirates would appear immediately and kill them to cut off their blood flow!
Seeing that the time is ripe, Ding Wei announced, "Starting tomorrow, we will cultivate during the day and practice in groups one hour before sunset. General Chu will send people to teach simple sword formation and marksmanship. We will send out weapons in the future and work together to protect our homeland!"

"Listen to my boss!"

"Our own home must be protected by ourselves!"

Sure enough, everyone echoed loudly, everyone was gearing up, and there was no longer the decadent panic just now.

"Then follow the usual arrangement and keep busy. During the harvest, look at the four teams, which team has the most food, and a big reward!"

In the previous construction of the stone castle, there were carpentry teams, masonry teams, and three handyman teams.Now that the stone fort and the wharf have been built, everyone went to the field together, and they were divided into four teams. Each team has more than a dozen families and is responsible for dozens of acres of land.

Where there are always people, there are disputes and comparisons.The topic of which team's field is flat and which team's field is deep is often brought up at the dinner table.Now the main family has added another fire, pushing this kind of competition to the hottest position.

You must know that although the wife of the master is a woman, she has always acted generously and kept her word.Since you promised in front of everyone today, you will definitely not go back on your word, and the reward must be very heavy.

The women thought of those smooth and bright brocade cloths and golden jewelry, while the men thought of the white silver and the steward's name...

"Thank you madam!"

Everyone bowed their heads in salute, and finally gathered around their respective team leaders, discussing whether to turn over the field ridges again, even if they carried water and watered them again, they just wanted their own food to be more than others.

At this moment, all the pirates and monsters were forgotten by everyone.Not to mention the two hundred guards armed to the teeth, even the Lord's Zhen Tianlei is enough to deal with foreign enemies.They have time to worry, so they might as well think more about how to get more food, maybe this time the income will be enough for their son to marry a wife.

As soon as Ding Wei brought a few girls into the house, she hurriedly yelled, "Oh, bring me a basin of water! It's so hot today, not to mention my clothes are soaked, and the rouge on my face will melt." It's muddy. I won't suffer this next time, I didn't get scared to death by the pirates, I died of heat first!"

Most of the people's minds were still immersed in the mobilization meeting just now, and they thought that the master would take the opportunity to say a few words to them, but they didn't expect the noble and dignified master to change back to his original form in an instant, it was really dumbfounding.

Soon, Ding Wei scrubbed her chest and back, washed her head and face, changed into the coolest and most comfortable tulle skirt, and sat by the window with her bare feet to enjoy the air.

She sighed for a long time, and shouted, "Finally alive! I don't know if Cheng Guanshi will forget the saltpeter. It would be best if there is another bowl of shaved ice at this time, but it's a pity..."

"Even if there is, the master won't do it. Mr. Wei said that you hurt your roots by traveling in confinement, and you can't touch cold things for three years."

The outspoken Kikyo shattered the master's extravagant hope with a few blunt words, causing Madam Cheng to give her a sideways glance, and hurriedly made amends, "The well water at the foot of the mountain is also very cool. In the morning, I just brought the fruit brought by the natives. Put it in and rest it, I'm afraid it's just right to eat right now."

Kikyo stuck out her tongue and said immediately, "I'll go get it right away, let the natives lead the way next time, let's pick more."

When Ding Wei was about to ask a few questions when everyone heard the mention of the natives, Bai Shu ran in and said pleasantly, "Master, the family boat is here!"

"Really?" Everyone cheered thunderously. On the island, the ship is the only connection between everyone and the outside world.Because it was the rainy season and there was no good harbor, Ding Wei asked Cheng Dayou to take all the boats back because she was afraid that the typhoon would blow the big boats away.Now that the rainy season is over, every time they see only small fishing boats on the beach, everyone always feels uncertain.

Now that the family's fleet is finally here again, everyone is naturally happy.

Ding Wei didn't have time to change her clothes, so she put on an extra coat and took her directly to the pier.

After such a short time, all the men, women and children who were still clamoring to go to the fields just now gathered at the pier, waving and shouting at the fleet coming from a distance, their excited appearance seemed to welcome relatives who had returned after a long absence.

Soon, everyone will be able to see the appearance of the fleet.A total of thirty big ships, mighty and mighty, almost occupied the entire sea-sky connection, just pushing the sea waves to come in.

At such a time when foreign enemies are watching, this is undoubtedly the best booster.
