Chapter 8 The last thing you need is a Taoist priest
An iron sword is so expensive, even iron wares are expensive in Daze, before, Qi Rong could only think about it.

But after hearing what Third Sister said, and looking at the small handful of copper coins in his hand, he held them, and the young boy said solemnly:

"Third sister, do you still have vegetables in the vegetable field rewarded by God you mentioned? When I come back from the market, I will cut vegetables with you, so that third sister will not be tired."

Sheng Jiaojiao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Of course, you go first, I'll wait for you to come back."

Qi Rong went happily.

Sheng Jiaojiao stood at the door and looked at her own house. It was an old house with a civil structure, and it could be burned to pieces by a fire when the village was massacred.

Tears silently fell from Sheng Jiaojiao's eyes, she sniffed, cheered herself up, found her earthen pot from the corner of the room, and carried the pot to Tu Yao at the back of the house.

Although she can rely on her own consciousness to control herself to release water whenever and wherever she likes, but sometimes she doesn't have a container in her hand, and Sheng Jiaojiao won't be able to explain if someone sees it.

So she wanted to take a clay pot, as a cover.

Self-comfort, it's good to treat yourself as a person.

Tuyao is the land of the Qi family. No one usually goes there. Everyone is busy patrolling the village in the militia, taking care of the crops, doing embroidery, and playing with guns and sticks. Is it okay to run to hang out behind Qi's house?
There are a little plants here, but it doesn't work. Maybe some turf has grown in the past few days. After a heavy rain, the turf will be washed away.

The harsh ecological environment cannot keep wild plants, so the soil quality is getting closer to desertification.

Going back and forth like this, it becomes more and more difficult to support people every year.

Sheng Jiaojiao climbed down the pit and looked up at the surrounding environment. The things planted here cannot be seen from the surface.

But just in case, she walked a little further in the direction of Shishan.

Shishan is also the land of the Qi family. Every household in Zhishou County has a lot of land, but it is a veritable "earth" land, where no grass grows, only earth.

People in Zhishou County are not short of land, but because of poor water and soil, there is no place to farm.

Everyone's arable land is concentrated near the water pond, and the land over there is very expensive. The farther away from the water pond, the wilder the land and the more expensive the price.

The rest of the land will be deserted if it is deserted, and I haven't bothered to take a look at it for several years.

Sheng Jiaojiao found a relatively flat place in the dirt depression, near the rocky mountain, unloaded the clay pot behind her, and began to sprinkle vegetable seeds on the ground while pouring water.

There are quite a lot of small vegetable seeds, and every household has them, but the small vegetables that grow on this piece of land are all green and yellow.

No matter how careful the care is, it can always be no match for various natural and man-made disasters.

After she had been busy for a long time, she looked at the ground where she had sprinkled water, and there were no traces of water soaking.

So Sheng Jiaojiao walked back along the original road, sprinkled water again while walking.

I'm so tired. In my previous life, I was used to being pampered and pampered. After a day of farm work, I feel like my whole body is falling apart.

Although she just sprinkled seeds in the ground while holding the earthenware pot to sprinkle water
After she walked back and forth three or four times and sprinkled water three or four times, Sheng Jiaojiao crawled out of the dirt depression and looked at the land under her feet that seemed to have sprouted a little.

It is estimated that after another two or three hours, the soil will be full of side dishes.

Then let Qi Rong come to cut vegetables and sell them, sell a few crops more, try to get together the money for the medicine for the uncle as soon as possible, and also buy the iron sword back for Qi Rong as soon as possible.

"Jiaojiao, come out, go back to the water"

Outside the earth-built wall, a girl carrying an earthen pot, holding a thick hemp rope under her arm with both hands, shouted at the top of her voice.

It happened to be heard by Sheng Jiaojiao who had entered the backyard.

In Huangtu Village, everyone's daily task is to carry water.

Sheng Jiaojiao listened carefully, and it seemed to be the voice of Niu Ju, her playmate since childhood, who also died in that massacre in the end.

So Sheng Jiaojiao hurriedly carried the earthen pot on her back, dragged her heavy feet, left the dirt depression behind the house, and went to the front yard of Qi's house.

She said hello to Niu Ju, entered the room and left a door for Qi Rong, and put a few copybooks on her desk with Qi Rong's name written on it.

It means that after Qi Rong went home, he wrote these few words first.

Qi Zhi likes to dance with spears and sticks, and he doesn't know many big characters. Sheng Jiaojiao taught him to write his own name.

In her previous life, she had already done Mengmeng for Qi Rong, and she happily wanted to take her family to live in the imperial capital.

结果
In the new life, Sheng Jiaojiao is determined to let the family live a good life and achieve themselves well, so Qi Rong must pay close attention to reading and writing.

She has carefully formulated a study plan for Qi Rong, and she must let Qi Rong grow into a general who can be both civil and military in the future.

At the fair, the side dishes had already been sold, and he stood in front of the blacksmith's shop with a large handful of copper coins in his pocket. Looking at the iron sword inside, Qi Rong, who was drooling, shivered inexplicably.
The backwater of Huangtu Village is outside the village. Zhishou County has been short of water since ancient times, and the annual rainfall cannot meet the needs of crops at all.

Several villages in the surrounding area all use the same water source. There is no such thing as a well in the family, because there is no water to be dug out at all.

Therefore, the most important thing for the people in these villages every day, besides farming, is to carry water.

Niu Ju came to call Sheng Jiaojiao, if she never went out to carry her back, she would not be able to explain to her family when she returned home.

The Qi family would think, how could one day pass, and what happened to the still full water tank?Do you want to ask a Taoist to take a look?

No, the last thing Sheng Jiaojiao needs right now is a Taoist priest!

She carried the pottery pot on her back and went out to join Niu Ju. Seeing Sheng Jiaojiao's pale face, Niu Ju asked:
"Jiaojiao, what's the matter with you these few days? Why have you been listless?"

"I don't know. I'm probably haunted by nightmares. I'm much better today."

In the past few days, her condition was indeed not right. Everyone in the family had asked Sheng Jiaojiao what was going on, and Sheng Jiaojiao always excused herself by saying that she was having a nightmare.

Niu Ju is an honest person, she has never seen anything big in the world, she is dark and strong, she believes whatever Sheng Jiaojiao says, and the two of them walked and talked all the way.

"Jiaojiao, we have a new family of bigwigs in the show, have you heard? It is the prince of the imperial capital of Daze who has been demoted to our place. Wow, you don't even know, my father came back from the show today and said, Gather a lot of soldiers."

Niu Ju spoke excitedly, gesticulating as she walked, as if she had personally experienced such a big scene.

Sheng Jiaojiao, who was carrying the earthen jar, paused in her footsteps. She lowered her eyes, looked at the dry and cracked loess under her feet, and continued to walk forward step by step.
