Chapter 509 Ancient Farmer (16)

When Xiao Miao heard that Fengling was back, she happily left the work at hand and ran back.

Seeing Feng Ling sitting in the room intact, Xiao Miao's eyes turned red. Although this child is usually taciturn, she knows who is good to her in her heart.

During the time she followed Fengling, Fengling would always think of her when she had anything delicious, and would leave a portion for her. She was also gentle and polite to her on weekdays, and never beat or scolded her. This made Xiao Miao remember Fengling from the bottom of her heart. good.

When she learned that Feng Ling was going out, Xiao Miao still had to follow her. After being rejected by Feng Ling, she was still a little sad. It wasn't that she hated Feng Ling, but that she was useless, that she couldn't help Feng Ling, and that she couldn't go out with Feng Ling to take care of Feng Ling. Ling.

Now that Feng Ling was back, Xiao Miao was so happy, the moment she saw Feng Ling, she couldn't help running to Feng Ling, and dragged her into Feng Ling's arms.

Feng Ling looked at Miao Miao, who was a head shorter than herself, smiled and hugged Miao Miao, and said softly, "Don't cry, I'm back now? If you cry again, you will become a big tabby cat."

Xiao Miao was also a little embarrassed when she heard the words. She lowered her head shyly and didn't dare to look at Feng Ling. She pursed her lips, but her tone was cheerful, "Sister Feng, you are finally back. I am very happy to see you back."

Feng Ling looked at such a sensible Miao Miao, and couldn't help but reached out and rubbed Miao Miao's little head, and then Miao Miao remembered what she told herself when she was a child, and said to Feng Ling, "Sister Feng, wait, I'll go cook for you."

After Xiao Miao finished speaking, she turned around and ran away without waiting for Feng Ling to speak. Xiao Shu brought Feng Ling a pot of tea and some snacks, and asked Feng Ling to pad her belly first. Qin Yi talked to Feng Ling about this Two months of change.

Qin Yi sat opposite Feng Ling, and told Feng Ling about the changes in Taohua Village.

"Currently, Taohua Village has been renamed Taohua City. There are 6 households in the city, with 183 people. There are also an orphanage and an orphanage built in the city. There are not many elderly people, but there are many orphans in the orphanage who have lost their parents. Some were sold to us by our parents.”

Feng Ling looked at Qin Yi in surprise, and Qin Yi smiled bitterly, "Not all refugees want to be tenants, some parents want to be opportunistic, and it happens that they have children in their hands, and they exchange dozens of catties of grain for those parents. Said it was a good deal."

Feng Ling sighed in her heart, "Indeed, most parents in the world love their children, but there are also a few who treat their children as tools, especially due to the limitation of thinking, many parents do not treat girls as human beings. , more than half of the children in the orphanage are girls who were sold by their families."

After saying this, Qin Yi said, "We made a mistake in our estimation before, and we didn't expect so many people to come. Now Taohua City accepts more than 1000 refugees every day. Fortunately, you came back in time, otherwise the food stored now may not be able to survive. winter."

Feng Ling nodded to express his understanding, and Qin Yi continued, "There are also good things. Thanks to these refugees, winter wheat has been planted in the entire county's currently unowned land. As long as there is no major disaster in the coming year, we should be able to harvest some food. ..."

The two were discussing the future development plan while talking, at this moment Feng Ling smelled the smell of food, and then Xiao Miao walked in with a tray, on which was a bowl of thickly boiled millet porridge , two white flour steamed buns, three stacks of freshly fried vegetables.

Xiao Miao smiled and said to Feng Ling, "Sister, you just came back from two months away, and you don't like eating big fish and meat, you eat these pads first, and I'll cook them for you tomorrow." Feng Ling naturally knew Xiao Miao was doing it for her own good, she nodded with a smile, Qin Yi stopped talking, waved her hand to let Xiao Miao go down, quietly watched Feng Ling finish the meal, then stood up and asked Feng Ling to take a bath have a good rest.

Early the next morning, Qin Yi went out to work, but left Xiao Miao behind. When Feng Ling woke up, Xiao Miao was waiting outside the door. Seeing Feng Ling woke up, she immediately helped Feng Ling wash up and wash up. After that, Feng Ling took Xiao Miao out.

On the street, I saw many children laughing and playing, and workers with tools in their hands to build houses.

There is no work in the field in winter. In order to keep these refugees from being idle, please give them the prescribed tasks, let them repair canals and build houses, and only those who work can have food every day, otherwise they will only starve. So even the little ones are helping the adults with their work.

Although the work was a bit hard, these people finally had some smiles on their faces, and they didn't have to worry about being starved to death, freezing to death, having their children sold, and being separated from each other...

Feng Ling also went to the orphanage for a while. There are more than 500 children in the orphanage, most of them are girls. Qin Yi recruited a few gentlemen from among the refugees. Hired by Qin Yi to teach these children.

At first, these gentlemen were unwilling to teach girls, and they were unwilling to teach, so Qin Yi would not give them food.

These gentlemen seem to be stubborn, but in the end they are not going to bow down for five buckets of rice.

Looking at the bright classroom and the children sitting upright in the classroom, Feng Ling couldn't help showing a faint smile.

Xiao Miao, who was standing beside Fengling, looked at Fengling with admiration, and said in a low voice, "It is thanks to my sister and brother Qin that these people have food to eat and books to read, if it weren't for you, they would have starved to death long ago. "

Feng Ling smiled and said nothing.

Half a month later, heavy snow fell like goose feathers. It has been snowing for three days, and the snow in the city is cleared every day. Fortunately, the houses built with cement and red bricks are much stronger than thatched houses. The heavy snow is afraid that many houses will be crushed and many people will be killed.

When building the house, Qin Yi also asked the workers to build heated kangs for the bedrooms, so that these workers could go to the mountains to collect dry firewood when they had nothing to do. There is an open-pit coal mine not far away.In the past, these ancient people did not fail to discover that coal mines can be used to burn fires, but the smell of smoke is not too strong. If they are burned in the house, they will be poisoned. Over time, no one cares about using coal for heating.

After Qin Yi found out, he asked people to dig a lot of coal and made briquettes. The heating kang also has smoke ventilation pipes. Even if coal is burned, people will not be poisoned.

With briquettes, every household not only has hot water to drink, but also is very convenient for cooking, and it can also be heated in winter.

Such days even made the refugees feel that their lives were better than the days before the disaster.

Qin Yi also recruited a patrol team from Liu Mingzhong to patrol every day to see if anyone died of freezing or starvation.

This year's winter has been extraordinarily long, and the refugees outside are trying to survive. Although they don't know whether the news about Peach Blossom City is true or not, there are also many people who flock to Peach Blossom City for the sake of a glimmer of life...

After a week of heavy snowfall, it finally stopped. After the stop, the workers pleaded for orders to continue building houses, because a steady stream of refugees were flowing to Peach Blossom City, and the houses were still not enough...

But working in winter, many people can't stand it at all, but the refugees are not afraid. In order to save more people, Qin Yi agreed, but let them divide into several shifts...

There are more and more refugees in Peach Blossom City. Although Feng Ling searched a lot of food and gold and silver jewelry, Qin Yi sent people to buy those gold and silver jewelry, but there are too many people in Peach Blossom City. There are more than 30 people in the city.

Fortunately, winter is finally over, spring is here, and everything is revived...

In order to keep Peach Blossom City running, Feng Ling left Peach Blossom City again to loot those dignitaries and nobles.

The peach blossoms continued to expand, and the population gathered more and more, which even attracted the attention of the imperial court and some careerists.

When the wheat finally matured, a wave of locust plagues broke out. Fortunately, Qin Yi organized it properly and did not cause too much loss. It was also a bumper harvest, at least it solved the urgent need.

Qin Yi selected strong men from the refugees, trained them as soldiers, and built steel dragons and weapons.

The sphere of influence of Peach Blossom City has expanded to a state, and the imperial court finally made a subsidy and sent people to recruit security.

I saw a luxury motorcade slowly driving into Peach Blossom City. When the world was in chaos, these high-ranking officials actually put on such a big show.

Feng Ling and Qin Yi had received the news a long time ago. They didn't take the court seriously. The dynasty was exhausted. Facing the fatuous emperor and the incompetent court, they didn't have any good feelings.

The motorcade stopped at the door of Qin Yi and Feng Ling's house, and the eunuch sitting in the sedan chair was helped out of the sedan chair. Seeing that there were many common people around, the eunuch took out a silk handkerchief from his pocket with a look of disgust, Covering his mouth, he asked in a sharp voice, "Where is Qin Yi? Our family came to proclaim the imperial decree of the Holy Majesty, doesn't he know? He didn't wait here, this is a slight to the Holy Majesty!"

When ordinary people heard the eunuch's seriousness, they couldn't help but feel a little worried, and there was a trace of fear on their faces. When the eunuch saw it, he showed a rampant and proud villain face on his face.

The eunuch looked at the gate of Qin Yi's house with contempt, and the master ordered, "Go and call Qin Yi and let him come to receive the order. If he doesn't come, our family will punish him for deceiving the emperor."

Qin Yi and Feng Ling just came out of the door. Hearing the eunuch's words, Qin Yi sneered and said loudly, "My father-in-law is so grand."

The father-in-law's complexion changed when he heard the words, and he looked intently, and saw a handsome young man looking at him with a smile that was not a smile.

This young man is majestic and has an outstanding temperament, and the women beside him are extremely beautiful, even more beautiful than those women in the emperor's harem.

The father-in-law was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized that he pointed at Mr. Qin Yi and shouted, "You are Qin Yi? Why don't you kneel when you see the miscellaneous family?"

Qin Yi snorted, "Why should I kneel? What do you deserve for me to kneel?"

The father-in-law was furious and screamed, "I am an official, and you are a citizen. People should kneel down when they see an official. If you don't kneel, you have violated the law."

Qin Yi didn't care at all, and raised his voice, "Since I violated the law, you can arrest me! I want to see who dares to move?"

"What?" Seeing Qin Yi's overbearing attitude, the eunuch suddenly became angry, pointed at the guard with a knife beside him, pointed at Qin Yi, and said, "Arrest him!"

Hearing this, the guard with the knife immediately stepped forward and drew out the long knife, pointing the tip at Qin Yi, as if he wanted to arrest Qin Yi;
Seeing that Qin Yi was about to be arrested, the people watching were anxious and angry, and they stepped forward and said loudly, "Whoever dares to arrest Qin Xiucai will step over my corpse first!"

"Qin Xiucai is kind to me, whoever dares to arrest Qin Xiucai will just make it difficult for me!"

The people around heard the words and shouted loudly, "Don't arrest Qin Xiucai!"

"Don't arrest Qin Xiucai!"

"Don't arrest Qin Xiucai!"

A louder sound made the eunuch's complexion change drastically, and he shouted in a high voice, "You scumbags want to rebel, can't you? Get back, all of you..."

But these refugees were not willing to listen to the eunuch's words, and stepped forward step by step. The eunuch who was frightened by the power of the crowd couldn't help taking a step back. Unexpectedly, he hit a stone, slipped on his foot, and fell to the ground. The crowd burst into laughter Laughing, the laughter fell on the eunuch's ears, and it was particularly harsh.

He was so angry that he wanted to yell and ask the guards to kill all these troublemakers, but this eunuch is not a fool, his mind is still clear, and he knows that if he kills these troublemakers today, he will also kill them. Can't live.

So, the eunuch tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, thinking that after he went back, he must file a complaint in front of the emperor and kill all the people here to relieve his anger.

However, these people are still unable to move at present. The dead eunuch suppressed the anger in his heart, stood up with the support of the guards, stared coldly at Qin Yi and screamed, "Qin Yi, kneel down to accept the order."

Qin Yi stood still when he heard the words, and the eunuch was furious, "This is His Majesty's will, do you want to disobey the will? Disobedience is a serious crime, and the whole family will be punished. Qin Yi, you can think clearly gone."

Qin Yi was unmoved, and said coldly, "The faint king is not worthy of my kneeling. You go back and tell the emperor that he is not worthy of owning this great country, nor is he worthy of being the king of hundreds of millions of people."

Hearing Qin Yi's rebellious words, the dead eunuch's face turned pale with fright. Qin Yi dared not believe it, "You... you brazen traitor, I must report it to His Majesty the Emperor, and let him punish you for your crime!"

Qin Yi stared at the dead eunuch coldly, without fear, "Come here! Break his two arms and let him go back!"

Hearing this, Xiao Shu immediately stood up, followed by several burly men, and walked towards the dead eunuch coldly.

The eunuch suddenly felt bad, quickly hid behind the guard, pointed at the little tree walking towards him, and shouted loudly, "Kill him, kill him, these are all traitors, these are all traitors... "

The guard showed hesitation, he knew that if he did something, he would not survive today, but if he didn't do something, the dead eunuch wouldn't be able to spare him when he went back.

The guard sighed in his heart, and ran towards Qin Yi with a knife in his hand;

"Whoosh!"

A stone flew across the sky and hit the guard's leg. The guard sprained his foot and threw himself on the ground. He was knocked down by the surrounding people and tied up.

The dead eunuch was terrified, and kept screaming, "Come on, stop them, stop them."
