The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

Chapter 743: Midnight episode

Yan Yu clenched her fists angrily and glared at her father.

Yan Laoer didn't even dare to raise his eyes to look into her eyes.

Finally he gathered up the courage and glanced up for a moment, he saw his daughter looking like a little hamster who had been stolen from her house and was huffing and puffing.

Cute is really cute.

Being angry is also really angry.

“Where are those Xizhou soldiers?” Yan Yu asked with a sullen face.

"Here, here, here, they are all in the quarry. You can come here after passing the formalities. If you want more, we can get more. That's right, Dabao, let's think about the food issue for a while. When there are more people, I'm afraid we don't have enough food." Yan Laoer coaxed softly: "Look at the five thousand recruits in our camp, all of them are good guys. They are all fellows from Qishan. They also have some meat on their bodies. In addition to daily training, you can also help us with some work occasionally. We don’t need thousands of people. It would be great to have a hundred people on rotation. "

Yan Yu stared at her father, eyes still filled with sparks.

“There is more power with more people! All kinds of tools are useless, all depends on manual work, no matter how many people are there, it is not enough!”

Having said that, Yan Yu understands that the village is now under a heavy burden.

It turned out that the prisoners in the quarry were all changed to a place of exile and gathered in Xiao'an Village.

"The soldiers in the camp will not move as long as they can. With a war about to happen, how can we distract them from doing anything else." Yan Yu said with a stern face, "These five thousand soldiers are the foundation of our Yan family's army. They must be trained well." , Similarly, the construction of our village is also very important. Since all the prisoners in Xizhou have gone to the quarry, let them smash stones there and have people pull the stones every day. The blueprint for the high wall surrounding the village has long been decided. Dad, you’ll start work tomorrow.”

“We don’t have much money in our family’s account. There shouldn’t be much money in the village. Even if the stone from the quarry is cheaper for us, it’s still a big sum of money.” Yan Laoer was calculating in his mind.

Yan Yu puffed up her face and said: "We are the ones who smashed the rocks, and we pulled the stones ourselves. Can we still calculate the price according to the previous price? You can discuss the specific price, and ask them to set up a book for us. I owe the debt." !”

"Okay, okay, we owe a debt, my daughter, please keep your voice down. Yes, we owe it first and then pay it when we have it. Can we still cheat them?" Yan Laoer said angrily: "Tomorrow you and Dad will go to Fucheng to settle your master's account first, then go to the quarry, and then build the wall in the village. Do you like it?"

“I’m not going!” Yan Yu dusted off the dust and stood up: “I’m going to Huju, to find my uncle, to find my master, and I want the people who gave me back!”

…

The moon is as bright as water.

Li Xuemei pushed the person away, her face was red and she was breathing heavily.

Yan Laoer popped his head out from under the quilt. He waited for a moment and diligently served his wife to wash her.

Little Ya'er slept unconsciously at the end of the kang, snoring.

　　　I didn’t even notice that my parents had just made soy sauce.

The couple was tidy and tidy and couldn't sleep.

Li Xuemei felt that Yan Laoer was getting hot all over, so she kicked him with her foot.

The latter moved aside consciously.

“Daughter-in-law, did you say that our daughter has arrived in Huju now?”

Li Xuemei's voice was a bit lazy: "You often take the road, and you don't know whether people are there or not?"

"Our daughter has such a temper that she can't wait all night, so she rides on a donkey and kills her." Yan Laoer whispered: "Do you think she can get someone back?" Before Li Xuemei could answer, he said to himself: "I'm disgusted. Craftsmen are so rare these days. The teacher and elder brother probably won't let him go."

Li Xuemei glanced at him and said, "Go to Qi's house and Sha's house at dawn, and you will know how determined your daughter is to find someone."

When Yan Laoer heard this, he leaned over and said, "Daughter-in-law, please tell me in detail."

“Stay away, it’s all hot.” Li Xuemei stretched out a finger and pointed at his forehead.

Yan Laoer retreated obediently. Awaiting eagerly for what follows.

"Did you go to the new barracks today? You were training with spears." Li Xuemei said slowly: "The spear is the king of a hundred battles. Every inch is longer and every inch stronger. The people sent by Xue Baihu said that it looks simple in action. After a few days, I really got good at it, and I can pick off cavalry with a spear. I saw your daughter playing in the yard, and stabbed her through the sauce tank with a spear. "

The sauce jars at home were all broken, and the child’s father probably didn’t even notice it when he came back.

Yan Laoer doesn't think it's strange. With his daughter's magical power, it's nothing to break the sauce vat.

"Her uncles from the Qi family also practiced a lot. The people in the village who were not very accurate in archery have all changed to practicing spears. Not to mention, they are quite decent." Li Xuemei pointed out: "The main strength is not bad, it looks so good. Something happened.”

Yan Laoer suddenly understood where this strength came from.

"With this example in front of me, the young men in the military camp are also practicing vigorously, but there are five thousand people, plus the hundreds of people in our village, the spear is simply not enough. The fifth brother Qi doesn't do anything else now, he carries it with him every day Many people are sharpening rods in the yard. If there is no spearhead, they will practice with bare rods first. The place where your daughter and her people are working for the Sha family has been relocated and expanded a lot. In the past few days, they are waiting for you to bring your people back. And It’s about those blacksmiths.”

According to her daughter, it was a complete set of blacksmithing equipment.

"She was thinking about it, and she would talk about it when she had nothing to do. She also secretly moved out the trebuchet and telescope that we had replaced before, and mixed them with the things brought back from Xizhou, and even competed with the Eight Ox Crossbow. These were all she wanted In addition, the Wubao in Xiao'an Village cannot be made without skilled craftsmen. If you don't bring it back, she won't be happy with you. "

Yan Laoer was convinced that her daughter had such a cute little face. If she hadn't known that she was really strong, his body wouldn't be able to withstand it, so she would have to hit him on the chest with her small fists.

“Our daughter has never been so impatient before.” Yan Laoer muttered.

"This time I think our Dabao is right. Xizhou is different from Beirong. If we really attack, there are no passes in Guanzhou to defend, and the land bordering it is so vast. It's uncertain where the attack will come from. Her uncle wants to take the initiative to attack. There should be some considerations in this regard," Li Xuemei said clearly.

…

It was midnight when Yan Yu arrived at Huju.

The windows of her uncle's house were still lit!

After hesitating for a moment, Yan Yu whispered under the window: "Uncle, uncle, have you gone to bed?"

The sound of footsteps sounded.

Someone came over and opened the door.

The two people inside and outside the house looked at each other.

“Brother?!” Yan Yu’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Xiaoer, it’s really you.” Yan Xiangheng’s eyebrows were a bit tired, and his tone was full of helplessness.

Stay up late at night and run over from home, most likely through dog holes...

Only his waiter can do this.

　　Well, my second uncle did it too.
