Chapter 38 Lianjia Village

After eating and drinking, Bai Ziyu felt a little sleepy.

By the time Nalan Zhiqing cleared the dining table, Bai Ziyu on the bed had already fallen asleep.

It was only three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was still dark.

The herbs in the hut are gone, Nalan Zhiqing is going to pick some.She closed the door, and the room suddenly fell silent.

……

There is a small mountain village more than ten kilometers away from Bai Ziyu's hut.

This small mountain village is located on the high ground at the foot of the mountain, and there are only a dozen or so families in the village.

Because the people in the village are all surnamed Lian, it is called Lianjia Village.

At this time, everyone in the village gathered in an open space, looking eagerly at the two people standing on a high place.

Those two people were both women, except that one was an old woman and the other was a dark-skinned young woman.

Behind the young women parked several carts full of sacks.

The old woman on the left said: "Folks, there has been drought in my Zhou Dynasty for more than half a year, and the crops are in short supply. It finally rained a few days ago, but I didn't expect it. The rain was scary. Listen Gui Yue said that there are floods in many places, and food is in short supply!"

As soon as the old woman finished speaking, someone from below asked: "Village chief, there is no fertile land in our village, and we basically buy food from the city. What should we do now?"

"Yes, yes! The price of food has been raised more than three times because of the drought. Our village only relies on fishing and hunting. How can we get so much money to buy food! And..."

"Yes, yes! My family is so poor that we can't get rid of it!"

"Village Chief, you always summon me to wait here. Is there any way to buy cheap food!"

"Silence, silence!" the old village chief said in a deep voice.

The people below still respected the village head very much, and they all became quiet.

The old village chief pointed to the women beside him and said, "Don't you wonder why Gui Yue is here?"

A fat peasant woman below squinted her eyes and said harshly: "That's right! Why is Lian Guiyue, a shameless woman, here? She's not..."

The old village head glanced at the fat peasant woman, and slowly said: "Although some of Gui Yue's previous behaviors were very indiscreet, they were two years ago, and we should forgive her."

A thick woman whose skin was chapped by the sun squeezed out of the crowd, refused to accept: "No, I don't forgive her. Why should I forgive her? She hooked up with Hao Yuan, a widower, and Hao Yuan was our wife and Lian Guiyue This stinky woman's sister-in-law, how could she hook up with her own sister-in-law?

Moreover, we hooked up with Haoyuan not long after sister Yao died. We didn't put them in a pig cage at the beginning, but just kicked them out of the village. Why should I forgive her now. "

Someone spoke up, and the fat woman got bolder and objected: "Yes, yes! Sister Yao's life is really hard. She lost her mother since she was a child. Except for the three of us who are friends with her, basically no one loves her." No one loves her. She grew up and finally married Haoyuan, but she didn't have the blessing to enjoy it, and died in a few days.

Logically speaking, Haoyuan would have to be a widow for sister Yao for at least two years, but he actually hooked up with sister Yao's good sister.

Nonsence!Lian Guiyue, let me tell you, although I am a bit stupid, I will never forgive you, get the hell out of Lianjia Village. "

"Shameless, Lian Guiyue, get out!"

"I noticed her a long time ago, but I didn't expect that she would bribe the village chief. Village chief, you can't be fooled by her. She's just a scumbag who misses her sister-in-law. You can't just be persuaded by her few words. Already!"

The old village chief blushed and said loudly: "Quiet, you all listen to me quietly, don't interrupt!"

It's a pity that the faces of nearly a hundred people below were furious, cursing and swearing, with no intention of shutting up.

Lian Guiyue was slightly flustered, and shouted: "You all be quiet, and listen to me and the village chief finish talking!"

The crowd below were shocked by her roar, and Lian Guiyue took advantage of this opportunity to quickly say: "I know what I did two years ago was too much, and I didn't mean to ask everyone to forgive me, this time I'm here In the village, the main purpose is to deliver some food to everyone.”

Lian Guiyue stepped aside, pointed to several carts behind her, and said, "I bought the food here with my savings of nearly ten years, and there are 66 shi of rice in total. Our village counts 100 people. We can eat more than a catty a day, and this food can last us for two months."

As soon as she heard the food, the obese peasant woman's eyes lit up, and she said in a rough voice, "I have to eat at least two catties a day to be able to work hard!"

"Fat woman, don't you forget what you said? Don't be bought by someone's favor!" The woman with chapped skin said angrily.

Seeing that the people below were about to make a noise again, the village head shouted, "Can't you let someone finish talking? Do you know the current price of food in the city? Do you think it's only three times the usual price?
Wrong, you are all wrong, now the price per stone rice is 360 copper coins, which is a full 6 times of the usual, 6 times!

You must know that our village has had no income at all in the past six months. Not only that, each household has to pay taxes to the court and also pay protection fees for bandits in Nanyan Peak. Right now, our village is about to run out of food!

Yes, you are also right, Lian Guiyue did not do it right before, but now she has not forgotten everyone.At this time of crisis, she is willing to spend all her money to buy food and help our village survive these two months. Only after the autumn harvest can our village survive! "

The people below didn't talk any more, and they didn't know whether to forgive Lian Guiyue.

No one spoke, the old village chief looked at Lian Guiyue and asked, "Guiyue! Everyone couldn't forgive you all at once, why don't you transport the grain back!"

The old village chief had just finished speaking, when someone below became anxious and shouted loudly: "Village chief, please... Lian Guiyue, I forgive you, please don't take away the food, my children have not had enough to eat for many days You can pity this child!"

The man hurriedly hugged a scrawny child, squeezed to the front of the crowd, and said to the child: "Quick, please don't take away the food, auntie."

This child is about four or five years old and is a girl.

With her little finger in her mouth, she stared at the food on the cart with innocent and yearning eyes, and said crisply: "Auntie, auntie, please don't take the food away, Anu is very hungry, Anu is so hungry, I want to eat eat..."

Like a chain reaction, the other children were also pushed out by adults, begging Lian Guiyue not to take away the food.They made a bunch, maybe twelve or thirteen.

A trace of pity flashed in Lu Haoyuan's eyes who had been hiding not far away.

He gritted his teeth and walked quickly to the front of the crowd.

Beside Lian Guiyue, he stopped in his tracks and said, "My lady, no matter if the villagers forgive us or not, let's keep the food!"

……

Not far away, there were four people hiding in the bushes, and one of the thick middle-aged women asked, "Xiaolu, are you sure that woman is the Orion that your second sister followed all the way?"

The woman called Xiaolu nodded vigorously and said: "That's her, she went to the city to buy food again today, but this time she bought a lot!"

The thick woman stared at Lian Guiyue with wide eyes, and said bitterly: "The second child hasn't returned to the hotel for several days, she should be killed by this woman!"
