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

Chapter 282 Well-Organized Activities

Wang Lizheng's biological mother asked curiously. His family was doing business in the county. His family knew very well about the massacre of Liao people on New Year's Eve.

Therefore, after hearing what my daughter said, the world might be in chaos, and her family had some savings, she immediately followed her daughter to join her relatives.

What's wrong with the county magistrate? You can see it from the time of the plague. At the critical moment, the county magistrate is probably not as capable as the girls in other villages!
Her daughter, who is Wang Lizheng's eldest daughter-in-law, replied to her mother: "That child is not simple. His uncle is a general in the city and he came here during the Chinese New Year. Emma, ​​mother, you don't know, he is so powerful!"

"Tsk, tsk!" Her mother looked at Xiaozhan with a strange look on her face: "No wonder when I saw it, I felt that this child was born unusually. It turns out to be the young master of the general's family!"

Wang Lizheng's daughter-in-law pulled her mother: "Mom, please go home quickly. My father-in-law is busy with this. Your son-in-law is still building a wall at the entrance of the village. The family is very busy. Please help and keep an eye on it!"

Her mother patted her hand and said, "You and your sister-in-law can go and clean up the locusts. I'll be here to help clean up the locusts!"

After saying that, he picked up a broom and walked towards Mrs. Ge and the others who were picking up locusts: "Hey, sister, you're busy!"

Wang Lizheng's daughter-in-law looked at the familiar old woman speechlessly, and then went home with her brother, sister-in-law and her family to do some work.

Three days later, the high wall at the entrance of the village was built. Wang Lizheng and Uncle He rubbed the wall. Uncle He sighed: "This thing is what they call cement, it is quite strong!"

Wang Lizheng couldn't help but dig at it with his fingernails, but he didn't make any marks: "Emma, ​​you are really old and strong. I will have to use this when I build a house later!"

Uncle He yearned for it very much. When his family's life improved, he would also use this to build a large blue brick house.

Fan Ershao commanded several men from the village to carry out two large iron doors.

Zhao Orion and others who followed behind were carrying a pile of wooden frames.

Wang Lizheng asked Orion Zhao in confusion: "Old Zhao, what are you doing?"

Zhao Orion took down the wooden frame and replied: "We are going to install a lookout on both sides of the wall. If someone who is not discerning comes, just shoot arrows from above!"

Uncle He hurried over to help, God!This is really thoughtful.

"Kill! Kill!" The killings in the drying yard shook the sky.

Lao Wang was lame with his hands behind his back and looked at the crowd expressionlessly: "Most of you have never killed anyone. You think this is easy, but you will know how difficult it is when you encounter it!"

"Just think about it, if we don't kill them, they will steal our food and livestock, then occupy our houses, or burn the whole village to the ground with a fire."

"Our wives, children, old and young have all been killed, are you willing?"

"I don't want to!" the men shouted with red necks.

The women behind also shouted: "If you don't want to, we will kill anyone who wants to!"

Lao Wangtou nodded: "Don't look at it, it's a busy season, I have to drag you to train, I'm not happy!"

"But as long as our home is here, our people are here, and we have food, then we can talk about anything."

"If you can't practice well, go home and practice more. When the enemy comes, no one can be relied on. The only one we can rely on is ourselves!"

Jing Dafu said from the side: "Don't even think about counting on those bastards from the imperial court. If they don't rob us, then it's all good!"

Everyone's hearts tightened, knowing that Jing Dafu's words were true. What they had to guard against in this disaster were not only hungry people and bandits, but also the imperial court!
What if the court comes to collect food?

The people in the village were beating drums in their hearts, but no one asked, but judging from the intentions of the Jing family, the food belongs to them, and no one can take it away, not even if the court comes.By the fourth day, the defense work at the village entrance was completed.

Shen Zhiming divided a group of 15 people into three shifts and inspected the village every day.

Jing Li sniffed He Ziyu's newly developed medicinal powder: "What if the smoke rises, the wind direction changes, and it blows into the village?"

He Ziyu said confidently: "Everyone in the village wears a mask. If the wind direction changes, just cover your mouth with a wet handkerchief and you'll basically be fine."

Jingli gave him a copy of "Collection of Poisonous Weeds". He has been obsessed with studying it recently and has become more and more familiar with this kind of medicine.

Jing Li nodded: "Don't use this thing if you can, so as not to hurt your own people, use it only as a last resort."

After leaving the meeting hall, I saw old ladies sitting around and picking locust wings.

"I'm going to eat more today. This damn thing is ruining our crops. If I don't eat it, I won't be able to express the hatred in my heart!" Mrs. Fan fiercely tore the locust's wings, and her feet A basket of locusts has been cleared away.

Tiedan'er squatted next to his mother and muttered: "Mom, I want to eat something grilled. Brush it with some oil and bake it until it's crispy. That's how delicious it is!"

His mother took a sip and said, "Go ahead and bake it for you. You look so beautiful!"

"If we hadn't collected it so quickly, we wouldn't even be able to drink enough soup. Why do you still want to fry it with oil? Why don't you just put it in the frying pan and fry it for you?"

Jingli thought to herself, then it would have to be eaten fried. It would be delicious if it was stir-fried with spicy segments, scallions and ginger shreds!
Yes, Tiedan'er didn't say anything when she was scolded.

"Cuckoo!" Mrs. Qin was carrying a basket of locusts to feed the chickens: "Look, our chickens have enough rations for this month. There are still several big baskets. If it doesn't rain, we can dry them out and feed them." It’s been a while!”

All the living locusts were brought and eaten, and all the dead ones were fed to the chickens and ducks. Nothing was wasted.

Jingli looked up at the sky, and there were no traces of locusts in the sky.

After leaving the courtyard, the little boy was still looking for locusts. Sister Ali promised them that a bag of locusts could be exchanged for a copper plate.

Anyway, there's nothing much to do in the fields now, so I might as well go out looking for locusts one by one. If it's awesome, I can even exchange seven or eight dollars a day!
The locusts in the drying yard have been cleared away, and there have been fewer people here in the past two days.

Huan Yuan sat under a tree next to the drying yard and chatted with a few old ladies.

"Don't talk about the city, it's the countryside. Ten rooms are empty. There's not a soul in sight, and there's not even a dog barking."

"Walking in the village at noon, I can feel the cold wind blowing, and the soles of my feet are chilly. Auntie, do you think it can infiltrate people?"

The old ladies rubbed their arms and said, "Hey, that's too scary!"

Huan Yuan sighed: "Isn't it? After the disaster, human lives are like ants. It's not easy to live!"

"So, we not only have to train, we also have to train so that no one dares to bully us!"

Jing Li smiled knowingly. This Mr. Huan is really good at ideological and political actions. People in the village have been a little lax in the past two days. As soon as he said this, these old ladies will have to worry about urging their families to intensify their training.

The place was peaceful, and several old ladies were chatting happily.
There was a rush of footsteps at the entrance of the village, which shocked the expressions of several old ladies.

"Open the door quickly!" A shrill voice sounded at the door.
