Chapter 155 Villagers of Siliu Village ([-])
"Uncle Yuan can butcher a pig, and he can also skin and debone it. So, can he tan the skin?"

"A little bit." Yuan Er nodded his head flatly, "Hares have the most tanned skin."

"That's fine. In the future, if I want to raise livestock, I will inevitably ask Uncle Yuan to help me."

Yuan Er's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded again: "Yes, just call me if you need anything."

Thinking of his crippled leg and his little nephew, Yuan Er took over the work that was sent to him without much thought. Everyone in the village knew how big the village was, and it was strange that they didn't raise livestock. , Surviving a trip can earn a lot, and it is definitely enough to support two uncles and nephews.

"Okay, that's it."

Qi Ke is also very happy to find a skilled hand who can handle animals. Of course, she is not just showing kindness, but really has this need. There are so many pigs, cattle, sheep and rabbits in Qianhe territory, let alone big livestock, just rabbits The number is enough for this former Orion to be exhausted.

Due to the geographical climate here, frostbite must be high in winter. She doesn’t know what prescriptions for frostbite the locals use, but she has a prescription, which uses rabbit brains to make frostbite ointment. She has to look through the books for the specific medicinal materials. She had stockpiled medicinal seeds, otherwise she wouldn't be able to use it herself, and would have to find another prescription for chilblain.

A group of people came to Yuan Er's house, Qi Ke recognized the door, and saw that it was not far from his Zhuangzi, and it was also very close to the back mountain belonging to the end of the Jiuzhishan Mountain, so he asked them to boil the water first, and she went back to get it. flour.

Jumping in from the broken wall, under the cover of the brick wall, Qi Ke flashed back to the spiritual realm, took out all the coarsely ground flour he got along the way, weighed out five catties and packed it in a cloth bag, and then took the flour with him After leaving the spiritual realm, I came to Zhuangzi's kitchen, put a large pile of flour in a dry corner of the kitchen, and carried the five catties to Yuan Er's house.

The kitchen of Yuan Er's family is under a shack in the yard. A group of old and weak women and children work together, and even children squat by the water tank to wash wild vegetables.

Qi Ke knocked on the courtyard door, and they warmly welcomed him in. The flour bag in his hand was also taken over and placed on the firewood pile. Everyone in the courtyard was using water, only where it was dry.

Turning around in the yard, Qi Ke found a group of people washing seafood. What they saw were the large and small shellfish collected on the tidal flats and reefs, and Qi Ke swallowed quietly with greed.

After watching the children washing wild vegetables again, Qi Ke finally remembered to ask where the water in their tanks came from, and learned that it was the mountain spring water collected on the mountain.

"We don't eat river water, our ancestors have eaten mountain spring water for generations."

"It's too close to the sea, the water quality is not good, it's okay for farming and washing clothes, and the taste of drinking is not good."

"Fortunately there are mountains, otherwise I would really die."

"I heard that some counties have neither good water nor good mountains. The days were so bad that it was difficult to grow food."

"It's very convenient to use water here, but in other places, it's really miserable."

"Siliu Village is a place of good geomantic omen. You will know it after you live there for a long time. There is a lot of water, and people in neighboring villages will be killed every year when they fight for water."

"Neighboring villages come to Siliu Village to grab water every year. We don't fight with others. We fight when they grab too much."

"There used to be a salt merchant in that village. He dug the river channel for his own boat and hired villagers to work. He is a good man."

"It's a pity that good people are not rewarded. The pirates are here. Everyone in the village is dead, and my family is also dead. I am the only one left."

"My little girl was snatched away, I don't know if she's alive or not."

"The imperial court only sent the army now."

"It's better to come than not to come."

The women's voices were getting smaller and smaller, and Qi Ke could hear the sound of sobbing.
