The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 115 Investigating the situation
Shen Huwei shook his head: "It is said that it is a small tribe called Kehasuo. In the early years, they were expelled to this barren land because they were dissatisfied with the rule of the Liao Kingdom."

"Every winter when the people of Kehasso can't survive, they will take advantage of the freezing cold on the Beishui River and quietly come here to plunder."

When Guard Shen said this, he couldn't help but frown and said: "But Hasso's people come to plunder in the winter, but Wang Lizheng's house is so close, why is his family's thousand acres of fertile land and so many livestock not doing anything?"

"Isn't this a bit unreasonable?"

Jing Li sneered: "Yes, there is no vicious dog that won't eat the meat buns placed in front of you and insists on running to a crowded place and barking! Let alone people!"

Shen Huwei thought about it for a moment, and when he understood it, he was filled with resentment: "This guy surnamed Wang is really a bad-hearted person."

Jing Li lazily said: "It doesn't matter. We don't know how bad he was in the past. If he dares to play dirty now, we don't know if he can bear the consequences of the backlash."

"Then what should we do now?" Shen Guards looked at the faint smile on Jing Li's face, and for some reason he felt a murderous aura.

"Let's lock him down for now, Brother Shen. You can pick a few smarter brothers and learn some Khitan from Liu Kui."

"I'll ask Brother Quanzi to go to the city to investigate the situation first." After Jingli made some arrangements, Shen Huwei hurriedly selected a few people who had some knowledge to learn Khitan from Liu Kui.

Before Wan Baoquan woke up, he was woken up by Jing Li and hurried to the city.

Jingli came out of the greenhouse and was about to go up the mountain when she was stopped by Mrs. Su.

"Hurry up and try it. I wanted to ask you to try it last night, but you are a girl and your family is very busy." Mrs. Su showed her daughter the newly made cotton-padded clothes.

"You do it for Aye first, I'm not in a hurry." Jingli cooperated with my mother to try on clothes while talking to Su.

Su Shi glared at her daughter: "Your brother is at home all day long, unlike you who runs outside all day long. As long as you have enough clothes to wear and it's not cold, you should at least dress decently outside."

Madam Su pulled her daughter's sleeves and waist, and Little Cuiniang came over with a basket in her arms: "Aliniang, which shed do you think we are collecting vegetables from today?"

Mrs. Su is very busy now. She is a good hand in pickling and farming. In the past, her body was overworked. Now she has slowly recovered and started to be busy again. She is very busy all day long. The woman with a sad face had completely changed.

"Aliniang, which jars did you cook the dishes in? The old woman is so forgetful that she can't remember!" Mrs. Zhang shouted again.

Mrs. Su pulled her daughter's collar: "See if it fits. If it doesn't fit, I'll change it for you tonight. I'm very busy every day!"

Jing Li smiled and said, "How about you stop being so busy, I can afford to support you!"

Mrs. Su turned around to leave, then turned back to glare at her daughter and said angrily: "I have hands and feet that you need to support? If you have some free time, you can save some dowry money for yourself!"

Jing Li looked at Su's hurried away figure and felt warm in her heart. When she turned around, she saw the haggard faces of Mr. Jing and Mrs. Ge, and was immediately frightened.

"Grandpa, Grandma Ge, what are you two doing? Didn't you sleep all night last night?"

Mr. Jing's voice was a little dry: "Ah Li, I don't feel at ease. We are very close to the Liao people. I went out to take a look in the morning and the ice on the Beishui River was frozen. If it snows again, I guess the people over there are about to come over."

Mrs. Ge's eyes were bloodshot: "As soon as I hit the pillow last night, I saw those beasts crossing the river, killing people and setting fire to grab food. I was so scared that I couldn't sleep a night!"

Jing Li comforted the two old men: "I asked Brother Quanzi to go to the city to investigate first. After Brother Shen wakes up, he will lay some iron thorns in the trench." "Don't worry, I'll take care of things." The arrangements have been made properly to ensure that our whole family can live peacefully and well."

After comforting the two old men, Jing Li sighed and looked like he was going to go to the Liao people to check on the specific situation.

"Dang, Dang, Dang!" The old blacksmith started hammering before dawn. Fortunately, this side was far away from the east end, and it was inside the house. There was a small slope in the middle, so the sound from this side could not be heard.

Waiting for next spring, some fast-growing trees will be planted on the small soil slope, and the east and west ends will be strictly separated from each other so that people outside cannot see clearly what is inside.

When Jingli came down from the slope, she saw Fat Aunt and the men who cut the grass had returned. There were too many animals at home, and it was about to snow. She had to cut more hay and prepare it quickly.

Walking behind Mrs. Su was actually Haitang. This girl was wearing a floral headscarf and a gray cotton-padded jacket. She didn't look like the oiran she once was.

Time and environment can really change a person, and Haitang is not the only one who has changed. The women in the village now speak differently than before.

People on the east side are often a little bit sour: "Look at those of you, how do you look like women? Your voices are so loud all the time, and men are doing all the work of killing pigs and sheep. How can you be as gentle as a woman?"

The men in the village happily retorted: "I'm happy if my mother-in-law can do it. Look at you people who have such low eyebrows and don't dare to look up when you look at others. I really don't like you!"

Sharing weal and woe along the way has determined that their horizons are different. Of course, as the ideological work committee member Jing Li, he has always instilled in these people that men and women can work together equally and that cooperation can create a win-win situation.

Besides, given the same opportunity, women are no worse than men. Nowadays, the women in Jingjia Village don't talk about weaving baskets and farming. They even make cabinets and furniture, kill pigs and sheep, etc. It's all done by women.

You can't kill people at this time, so use prey to practice your skills. At the end of last month, Xiaocui unexpectedly won the women's team in the hunting competition. She received two hundred dollars for each individual result, which made her mother extremely happy.

Jing Li has always believed that everything depends on human factors. In the end of the world, there were several teams without women. However, this was ancient times and they had too few fair opportunities.

Now that I am here, I have the obligation to let them live a different life.

Wan Baoquan came back very quickly. Before the sun went down, he came back with the convoy.

Wanbaoquan didn't even have time to take a sip of the water, and without looking at his little nephew's eyes, he talked to Jingli about the investigation with a solemn expression.

"I met that General Chen!"

"Which General Chen?"

"That's General Chen Zhongyu under King Changling. Master Lin came to divide our villages before because of his reputation."

"It turns out that he is Huo Shen's good friend. No wonder Mr. Li helped us organize the village affairs smoothly."

"Oh, there is also the book Huo Shen asked Chen Zhongyu to find for you, saying it will help you practice martial arts!"

After Wan Baoquan handed Jing Li a secret book that contained the inner secrets of a certain sect, he began to tell Jing Li about Liu Kui.
