With more people and greater strength, within two quarters of an hour, all the contents of the three carriages were moved.

After finishing the things, Li Feng and the others looked at Liu Qingcao and smiled stupidly.

Liu Qingcao was amused and asked them to sit in the house. From the beginning, she noticed that they were thinly dressed and even wore less clothes than the children. The children also wore cotton-padded clothes, but they could only wear all their summer clothes to keep warm. .

It's winter now, it's so cold outside, and they've just sweated profusely. If they're not careful, they'll catch wind chill.

There were no old people in the shack, and no one was sick. That was the effect of the rice grains in her previous space. Now that she had finished eating the rice grains for a while, she had to be more careful.

It's okay for her to be here at the moment. A bowl of spiritual spring water will solve the problem. If she doesn't come back in time and has no money or herbs, she will have no choice but to survive if she gets sick. If she can't survive, she will die.

In the shack, Liu Qingcao looked at the people who were sitting upright and a little awkward, and smiled gently to appease them.

"Everyone should be more casual, don't be so formal."

Everyone nodded and sat as straight as before, but their faces became much more relaxed.

"Brother Li, please tell me what happened during this time." Liu Qingcao sat down and flicked the fire on the fire a few times to make them burn more fully and make the fire bigger.

Li Feng nodded heavily. A lot of things happened during this period. Even if his boss didn't ask, he would still find time to talk about it.

"My boss, a large piece of wasteland has been opened out of the eight acres of wasteland. It has been fertilized according to the owner's requirements. The remaining wasteland can be cultivated in one month.

The house is also being built day by day, and now eight small courtyards have been built. Craftsman Zheng said that his people are already very skilled and will be able to drive them all out in three months. "Li Feng said with a smile, very satisfied with everything now.

Liu Qingcao was also happy about this. He originally thought that Craftsman Zheng and the others would take half a year to complete the construction, but he didn't expect that these people are very good at their craftsmanship and don't delay. They are really good people.

It seems that these two biggest errands will be completed soon after the new year. As for other things, Liu Qingcao plans to wait until the time comes to mention them.

It was now the beginning of December, the weather was getting colder, and the days were entering the middle of winter. The Chinese New Year would be coming in two months, and the people in her hands had to be well entertained.

Let’s talk about that before leaving.

"I'll cook two more dishes tonight to reward you. It's been a hard day for everyone."

"No hard work, no hard work, this is what we should do." Li Feng scratched his head in embarrassment, but the smile on his face did not disappear.

They were praised by their boss. Although his boss was much younger than him, he didn't feel anything was wrong with them at all. On the contrary, he felt that he liked them very much.

However, the matter is not over yet...

Li Feng put away his smile and continued with a serious expression, "My boss, a few days ago, people came to the Yamen to pay taxes. No matter how big or small, they have to pay taxes. Adult men and women have one tael of silver, small ones five cents. People here, big and small villagers, two A few hundred dollars, this is a lot of money."

"If you don't pay this money, these people will take advantage of you. This year is going to be difficult, and the court doesn't care about our life or death. Alas!"

After speaking, Li Feng shook his head angrily and sighed.

Zhou Zhongxi and Hu Zhi, who were sitting nearby, also had sad faces. During this period, they worked harder than usual. Except for necessary things, everyone was busy.

The court's seizure again made them panic. If anyone could kill them, it could only be Liu Qingcao.

They understand the pros and cons and unanimously want to make themselves of greater value.

Liu Qingcao didn't know what they were thinking, and even if he knew it, he would not give up their thoughts.

People still need to have a sense of crisis, otherwise they will easily get confused and make wrong choices.

But what needs to be appeased should still be appeased.

"I heard people talk about this outside. The imperial court sent people to collect it. Maybe they are planning something big. Just do your own thing well. Don't worry too much. What you are worried about will not happen anytime soon."

The war in the north is at a stalemate, and the court is levying levies. I think there may be a war before the year. If there are heavy casualties, the court will not only levy silver grain, but also conscript troops.

Worrying now will only hurt your body and will not accomplish anything.

If you train hard now, you might be able to save your life on the battlefield.

However, unless she really had no choice but to do so, she was still unwilling to send someone she had cultivated so hard to die in vain.

Liu Qingcao's words were comforting, but they could not stop everyone's still depressed mood.

Zhou Zhongxi rarely put away his smile, and thought for a while before deciding to speak.

"Girl, there's no one around here. We work here every day and know nothing about what's going on outside. I want to go to the town or the capital to find something to do, and pay attention to what's going on outside."

Liu Qingcao agreed to his proposal without much hesitation, which was indeed her negligence.

"You bring Li Mu and Li Shuanzi with you. If anything happens, we can take care of each other."

Zhou Zhongxi naturally would not refuse. It is inconvenient to do things alone, but it will be much easier if someone helps him.

After this matter was settled, Liu Qingcao didn't suddenly think of those strange dolls. He had an impression of everyone here and it was impossible to admit his mistake.

"Brother Li, what's going on with those kids outside?"

When Li Feng heard this, he immediately looked at Liu Qingcao apologetically.

He couldn't bear to bring these children back on his own initiative.

In those days, children were being sold everywhere, and the prices were low, and they refused to accept them when there were too many people. Those parents hawked their children on the streets, not treating their children as human beings at all. He couldn't stand it and took out the remaining savings to buy them. Next dozen.

"Boss, these are dolls sold in other villages. I saw that they are not too old or too young. It would be too painful to sell them to those unclean people, so I gave them money to bring them back."

Li Feng was afraid that Liu Qingcao would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained, "I haven't touched the money given to me by my boss for these children. Don't worry, my boss, they can work now and won't eat in vain."

Liu Qingcao didn't blame him. The money was his, and these children could work to earn food. It was too late for her to be happy!

"It's okay, just do what you can." Liu Qingcao's voice was calm, with a smile on his lips, and no trace of anger.

Li Feng felt relieved and nodded in agreement after hearing Liu Qingcao's instructions.

After the matter was understood, it still took a long time, and it was impossible for a group of people to sit in the shack and "have a tea party." Therefore, after the matter was explained, the people in the shack all went their separate ways.

After Li Feng and others left, Liu Qingcao recruited the five children to start working.

She promised to cook tonight, so naturally she couldn't break her promise.

It's impossible for one person to make food for more than 300 people. These boys are older than her, so they can help. She will feel more relaxed after a while when the people Li Feng calls come over.

Liu Qingcao ordered two people to prepare rice, two to choose vegetables, and one to hold firewood for the fire. She took out half a pig, cut it, washed it, and put it into a large pot to cook.

She plans to cook four dishes and a soup tonight. Winter is coming, and drinking the soup will keep her body warm.

After working for more than two hours, the food was finally ready.

Stir-fried pork with chili pepper, stewed cabbage, braised fish, steamed pork ribs, radish and egg drop soup, all are large rapeseed. It is not easy to eat full in this era, and most people cannot eat such large rapeseed during the New Year.

When Li Feng came to the stove with a large number of people, his eyes widened when he looked at the greasy vegetables and the white rice.

He remembered that the last time his boss cooked, he also put a lot of oil and meat in. He was still anxious about the smell. This time there was more oil and meat than last time, and he was greedy just by smelling it.

Zheng Ping's people also came. They usually eat well here. They thought they would never find anything better than this. But to their surprise, the owner here was more willing than they imagined.

Liu Qingcao saw them standing still, smiled, and asked them to get bowls to eat.

After a hearty meal, everyone had a smile on their face.

Before going to bed, Liu Qingcao called Hu Zhi to check on her to make sure that she would not get sick again, and he was happy for her. Hu Zhi knew that he would not get sick again, so he smiled so hard that his teeth disappeared.

"Girl, do you still want to leave?" Hu Zhi sat quietly watching Liu Qingcao writing at his desk, his eyes red.

Liu Qingcao nodded and stopped writing.

She won't stay here for long, and she will leave the day after tomorrow at the latest. She has been away from Shihe Village for more than two months and nearly three months. If she doesn't go back for such a long time, they must be worried now.

She was also concerned here, but compared to the new county, the newly appointed prefect here was considered a good official, so she felt a lot more relieved here.

When she left the new county, the official who took office had not yet been decided. She didn't know how the current county magistrate would be as an official, whether it was good or bad. She had to go back and see it before she could feel at ease.

"Hu Zhi, I will come back to see you when I have time, no later than April. Do your best here, don't worry, I won't leave you alone."

The wasteland was opened up to prepare for planting crops. The beginning of spring was a good time to prepare the fields and raise seedlings, so she had to rush here no matter what.

Hu Zhi knew that Liu Qingcao had decided to leave, so he bit his lip to hold back tears.

As long as the girl comes back and doesn't forget them, that's all.

In the dead of night, Liu Qingcao urged Hu Zhi, who was dozing next to her, to go to her room to sleep. She wanted to write down all the things she needed to buy tomorrow, so that she could go to the street and buy everything tomorrow.

After Hu Zhi left, Liu Qingcao rubbed her sore neck, stood up, closed the door, extinguished the charcoal basin and entered the space.

In the space, Twenty-One and Qin Xin had already rested. Liu Qingcao gently picked up the basket and went to collect fruits and grains from the fields.

……

A good night's sleep and an early morning the next day.

When Liu Qingcao woke up from the space, it was just a little bright outside, and there was already a slight sound outside the house. She put on her clothes and came out of the space, and saw that there were already five or six women in the stove shed busy around the stove.

When they saw Liu Qingcao coming out, they lowered their hands in a hurry.

Liu Qingcao smiled and told them to continue working and leave her alone.

The women then felt relieved and speeded up their movements. Liu Qingcao watched for a while and told the women that she was going to town and asked them to tell Li Feng to come find her at a restaurant on the street at noon.

After Ma drank the spiritual spring water in her space yesterday, she was in extremely good spirits and showed no sign of depression.

After walking out of the long wasteland, Liu Qingcao entered the space from the carriage. He hadn't eaten breakfast yet, so he took advantage of the opportunity to hurry up and eat with Twenty-one and Qin Xin.

"Twenty-one, Qin Xin, if you are tired, just find something else to do, or take a rest." Liu Qingcao felt that the two of them were doing the same thing every day, and there was no one else talking except her. No, she was really afraid that the two of them would develop mental problems.

She had said this some time ago. The two of them always said they were not tired, but when she saw how they looked like they were not tired, she was clearly worried that they would not do enough and would feel uneasy...

"Girl, I'm not tired."

"I'm not tired either."

"..."

Look, these words again.

"Okay, let's rest today. If you don't take care of yourselves, I can't let you go. I also want to treat your eyes. If you lose your health now, it will affect the doctor's diagnosis and treatment."

Seeing that they still didn't want to hear it, Liu Qingcao had no choice but to say this.

Sure enough, when the two people heard Liu Qingcao's words, they were so excited that they almost dropped their chopsticks to the ground.

"Girl, can I still be cured?" Qinxin wanted to suppress the excitement in her heart, but her words still had a trembling tone.

Twenty-one didn't say anything, but he looked over with a clear heart.

"There is a chance, but it's not possible now. Let's wait." Liu Qingcao didn't say it too definitely. She originally planned not to say it, but looking at the state of the two of them, she felt that she should reveal it first to prevent them from not cherishing her. .

The two of them thought about it for a while, and finally decided to listen to Liu Qingcao.

Qinxin and Twenty-one thought the same. They both thought they could help Liu Qingcao more after regaining his sight.

If Liu Qingcao knew what they were thinking, he might be so moved that his eyes would turn red.

After breakfast, the two of them sat at the table doing nothing, feeling lonely, confused and boring. Seeing them like this made her feel sour in her heart.

Liu Qingcao was helpless and finally arranged other things for the two of them to do so that they could experience other things.

……

Wuzhou Fucheng.

As the carriage entered the streets of Fucheng, Liu Qingcao rushed directly to the cloth shop and bought most of the cotton cloth in the cloth shop on the street.

Who gave her cotton but no time and extra hands to make weaving.

Many things in the space can be self-sufficient, but she doesn't have too many people in her hands. It would be fine if she let them out for others to do, but if people are not around often, they can easily be tricked.

Let’s wait until the people in the wasteland are done with this matter.

The shopkeepers of the cloth store on the street were very cheerful. Seeing that she bought a lot, they even kindly helped her deliver them to the house she bought.

After buying the cloth, she went to buy other things.

After this trip, the shopkeepers in Fucheng were very jealous of her, especially when they saw her entering the store, they couldn't suppress their smiles.

She bought a lot of cloth, meat, eggs, chicken, dried vegetables, various seasonings, etc. She didn't give up until the rented house couldn't accommodate it.

There seems to be a lot of stuff in this yard, but in fact it won't take long. After all, there are hundreds of people in the wasteland, and they need a lot of food even if they don't have enough food.

It's just that the things she bought are for relief food. They have to buy the things they need to eat on a daily basis.

By the time Li Feng and his people arrived at Wuzhou Fucheng, it was already more than three hours in the afternoon. The sky was already dark at this time, and it was best to carry things in this dark night.

Before Li Feng came, Liu Qingcao had released all the horses in the space. There were seven carriages in total, and they couldn't move them all at once. But after running twice in the night, they could almost move them, and the rest that hadn't been moved would be placed in the house. I'll move it out when necessary.

The next day, Liu Qingcao did not show up in Fucheng, but started buying again in Wushan Town. This time the amount she bought was not as large as in Fucheng. She only bought four carriages and then gave up.

After she finished shopping, Liu Qingcao took out the paper and looked at it. There were still three empty carriages, which she had deliberately left empty.

When the carriage was approaching Changhelan, Liu Qingcao filled the rest of the carriage with rice, flour, oil and salt in the space.

After all preparations were completed, he drove the carriage towards the long wasteland.

Li Feng and the others saw the shadow of the carriage and got up to clean up the grain shed.

The moved things were placed in two places. Liu Qingcao told them that eggs cannot be put in one basket, and they did not forget this.

When the carriage approached, Liu Qingcao got off the carriage, and Li Feng and his men began to unload. In less than half an hour, Li Feng and the others emptied the carriage.

Liu Qingcao looked at the enlarged grain shed and felt much more at ease. She always felt that something was going to happen, but she couldn't say it outright. She was afraid of causing unnecessary panic among everyone.

After Chang Huang was settled, Liu Qingcao set out for Qingzhou Fucheng again.

It's time for them to remember her.
