Hard work

Chapter 226
Life at home is tight, and people in the village huddle at home, and they don't know what's going on outside.Some people speculate that life is so difficult now that the imperial court should have started to provide disaster relief.

I don't know where this news came from, and how many people would believe it.Lan Hua'er herself didn't believe it anyway.Even if there is disaster relief in the town, it is not as good as the environment at home.There was no need for them to brave the heavy rain and run all the way to the town just for such an illusory disaster relief.

Even if someone in the town really opened a warehouse to release grain, it is impossible to have more grain than the grain hidden in the house.

Lan Hua'er even wondered if someone spread such words on purpose so that the victims who couldn't find food outside believed it, so she went to the town and stopped besieging Aozi Village.However, just like Lan Huaer felt that it was unnecessary to go to the town, the disaster victims outside seemed to have the same idea.

The main reason is that those victims no longer have the strength to do such long-distance movement.For them to walk from Aozi Village to the town, it undoubtedly takes a lot of courage and takes a very high risk.Even those animals that lived on the mountain for a long time died on the mountain and were washed down by the flood. It is conceivable what kind of danger they would encounter if they were replaced by humans.

Maybe they couldn't walk much at all, and they had already been washed down the mountain by the mountain torrent.

At that time, not only will he be dead, he may even be killed by someone...

There may also be victims of disasters who listened to such words and walked up the road to the town, but the number of people who left was far less than the number of newcomers.The recent rain seems to be a little less, but more victims came around. Taking advantage of the less heavy rain in the sky, they came to Aozi Village to find a way out.

The victims of the disaster did not all come to Aozi Village.It's just because the terrain of Aozi Village is the highest among these nearby mountain and forest villages.The low-lying village was flooded, so they could only run along the mountain to the high-lying place, and they came to the vicinity of Aozi Village.

Since Aozi Village is more or less a complete village, the victims are naturally willing to gather near Aozi Village.

If you go further into the mountains, there will be no human habitation.

Lan Hua'er naturally knew that the group of Honghuabai lived on the mountain, but the other villagers didn't know this.Even if they knew, they probably wouldn't have the guts to go up the back mountain.

The Red King is a terrifying existence in their minds. Even when they are living a good life, they all say that the Red King is a terrifying person who digs people's hearts and brains, let alone in such a famine.Everyone felt that the people outside were already so scary, and the Red King, who was not a human being in the first place, naturally had to be even more awesome.

Only Lan Hua'er knew that the little girl who lived on the back mountain was a very picky eater.Don't say it's human heart and human brain, even if there is a little bit of fishy smell in the food, she doesn't want it.

But at this time, even Lan Huaer would not think about going to Honghuabai.

After all, the mountain is too unsafe.If one is not good, just roll down a stone at will, and people will be like that.

Because she could only stay in the room for a long time, Lan Hua'er felt a little listless, and didn't know what to do.In fact, there are not many things for her to do at home now.

Yang Langzhong and Chang Wu took turns teaching Goudan, some taught calligraphy, and some taught medical books, saying that they would be used in the future.

Gaihua often goes to Xiaodie's room to teach Xiaodie how to speak and read.Xiaodie is very smart and trusts Gaihua.The two of them talk and learn characters together, which is much faster than Lan Hua'er going up to teach.

When she was at home, Lan Huaer could still do housework and so on.But now Zang Lang is also a idler at home, he gets up before dawn every day, and cleans up all the places in the house that need to be cleaned up early.When Lan Hua gets up, as long as she cooks something to eat, there is nothing left to meddle in.

Lan Hua'er felt that this kind of life was really boring to a certain extent, and told Zang Lang more than once, "Don't always rush to do my work. Look, I am also very boring now, and I want to find something to do Do it, save some for me."

Every time Zang Lang was told by her, he just scratched his head and smiled, not sure if he listened.

Anyway, when Lan Hua'er got up the next morning, he looked again, and everything at home must have been done properly, and there was nothing to interfere with.Lan Hua'er was so angry with Zang Lang that she couldn't laugh or cry, she nodded Zang Lang's head more than once and said to him:
"Can you stop being like this, I have no place to stand at home. Look at you, everything is done, what's the matter if I live outside?"

Zang Lang was not angry, but just smiled honestly.He probably also knew that Lan Hua'er was not really angry with him, but just joking.He reckoned that it was because he felt that the little lady could stay at home quietly and leisurely, which proved that he was useful as a servant, so he always worked very hard.Sometimes when Lan Hua gets up, she will find that the porridge is already cooking on the stove, and the spicy cabbage next to it has also been cut.

When Lan Hua'er was sick, he once taught Zang Lang how to make porridge. This man was very smart, he learned it right away, and now he sells it now. Lan Hua'er really doesn't need to intervene in the family affairs.

If you want to cook something, you don't dare to start the stove now, because you are afraid that if the smell spreads, all the victims will come to the yard, no matter how generous the fence is, it won't stop you.

Lan Hua'er didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, since Zang Lang was having a good time every day, so he could only let him go.Zang Lang is a very savage guy, he believes that he is good to you, no matter what others say, he will continue to do it, he is very simple and cute.

Now that there is no housework to do at home, Lan Hua'er simply learns to write at home like Goudan.

Yang Langzhong needs to teach Goudan a lesson, so Lan Huaer naturally won't bother him.That Chang Wu, Lan Hua'er has never been sure what kind of person he is.He is like a stranger in Zhao's house, but also like a diner.When he was happy, he gave lectures to Goudan, but when he was unhappy, no one forced him to do anything.

After all, he is the one who pays, and the people of the Zhao family can't do anything to him, but naturally they won't be very close to him.

As a result, Lan Hua'er could only hold Zang Lang and let Zang Lang teach her in class.

In order for Zang Lang to spare time to teach her how to learn characters, Lan Huaer finally found an excuse to compete with Zang Lang for work.

In the past, when she was going to do something, Zang Lang would always go over and snatch away the work with a silly smile on her face. Now Lan Huaer finally found an excuse. Waiting for you to finish your work and come to teach me how to write. You see, you are busy all day long, and I don’t have time to talk to you. I’m done with you, why don’t you just come and sit with me what?"

Zang Lang hesitated for a moment.

He was really not willing to let Lan Hua'er work at home.Ke Lanhua'er's words also reached his heart.He is so busy now that he really doesn't have much time to talk to Lan Hua'er.Now it is different from before, although he was busy working outside before, but there are not so many people at home, every day when eating, and some time in the evening, he can sit with Lan Hua'er.

Even if neither of them spoke, it was the time when the two of them were next to each other, very close.

Now that there is no such time, he does feel a little lost.

It's just that he didn't know that his little lady had the same thoughts as him.

Lan Hua'er saw that Zang Lang was struggling there, so she simply ignored him, took the things in his hand and started to tidy up.After Zang Lang came back to his senses, Lan Hua'er had already started working.

Maybe... it's not bad to do things together...

Zang Lang remembered that when they went to the mountain together, he was in charge of casting the net, and Lan Hua'er lit a bonfire behind, roasted everything, and waved for him to go over, so he scratched his head and smiled.

The heavy rain has been falling for a long time this time, and the people in the village can't remember what the sun looks like at all.

The clothes in the house seem to have never been dry, and the rain seems to be leaking from under the roof like this.

Lan Hua'er originally thought that such a life could be endured even if it was a bit more difficult.Until one night, she was suddenly awakened by a distant noise.

At the beginning, she thought she was having a nightmare, so she hurriedly sat up from the kang.But when she sat up and listened carefully, she realized that she was not dreaming.There was really an indescribable sound coming from outside.The voice seemed to be someone screaming in pain, or some meaningless whine, coming from afar.

The sound was not very loud, but Lan Hua'er couldn't help shivering when she heard it in her ears.

She didn't know what that sound was, or she thought she didn't know, but she had an answer in her heart.She got up, put on some clothes, and groped her way outside.

I didn't dare to light lamps at home for a long time, not only to save some lamp oil, but also because I was afraid that it would cause unnecessary troubles in the dark.

Lan Huaer met Gaihua and Zang Lang on the corridor not long after she left.

The two seemed to have woken up for a while, and were standing in the corridor talking.When Gaihua heard the footsteps, she turned her head and glanced at Lan Huaer. Seeing her getting up, she said, "My sister, why are you getting up? Go to sleep quickly. There are some things outside, and Ah Lang and I have to go and see. Go back to your room and don't come out."
