Chapter 74

  The officers for corvée in Changling Village have been decided, and before the grain collectors left for a few days, someone came to urge them to report to the county government office, saying that they were going to the west to build the wall.

   The faces of more than a dozen men were not very good-looking when they left. Many villagers said they were going to see them off, but they were somewhat gloating.

   "Did you see it, that's what happens when you can't pay the food."

   "It's too bad to have to pay for food to be a helper."

   "For two months, no one ploughed the land at home."

   "Hey, why didn't you save some food when you knew you were going to pay?"

  “…”

  Yin Miao, who was passing by, listened to the villagers' discussion with a sigh, and couldn't help but feel sad for the people of this era.

   Even in peaceful times, people's life is still so difficult, not only that, but also to endure the exploitation and oppression of the upper classes, which is not much better than the human beings who are trying to survive in the last days.

   She also thought about using the food from the space to help a bunch of these people unexpectedly, but she finally gave up because she couldn't find a surefire way.

   On the way back, Yin Miao went to the cassava field in the village again, and gave a bunch of cassava to Wei Lizheng, who was staying there when there was nothing.

   "I just found this on the mountain. Grandpa Lizheng should take the seed."

  Yin Miao said that she often brings some cassava over for Wei Lizheng to plant these days. The cassava grows very fast, even in the current dry weather.

   "Thank you for your hard work, girl from the Yin family."

  Weili was taking the cassava, and the other villagers were thinking about how to dig cassava from here, only Yin Miao dug the cassava and brought it over without saying a word.

   "Yes, we also have it in our vegetable garden."

   After Yin Miao finished speaking, she closed the fence gate of the cassava field and backed out.

There was still some distance from home, and Yin Miao saw Brother Han running towards her. Today, there is no need to go to school. Yin Han has already climbed Changling Mountain with her. She asked Mrs. Zhang to take Yin Han back, while she herself Went to hand over the cassava.

   "Why did you run out again, aren't you tired?" Yin Miao pulled Brother Han who seemed to have grown taller.

   "Sister Miao, let me tell you, our hen is laying eggs again!"

  Yin Han said mysteriously, just after he returned home, Mrs. Wei took him to see the eggs beside the henhouse, where the eggs had turned into four!

   In other words, two hens that can only lay eggs can lay four eggs a day.

   "Really? That's amazing."

   Yin Miao said with a smile, there were two eggs she secretly put in at night, and they were also eggs laid by the chickens in the space.

There were six more chicks in the Yin family's chicken coop a few days ago. The six chicks were all eggs that were given away after buying chickens at a high price from the market. The family never thought that those few eggs would hatch. Chicken come.

   And now, after being raised for a few days, the feathers on the six chickens have begun to slowly turn yellow.

   "I will go with Xiaobao to catch bugs for the chickens later. Xiaobao caught a small basket in one morning."

   Brother Han stood by the chicken pen and said to the family.

   "Speaking of which, there have been a lot of bugs recently. Many vegetable leaves in our yard have been eaten by bugs."

  Yin Zhenghong said regretfully.

   "The villagers say that when the weather is dry, the bugs will come out. Now people who have crops go to the fields every day to remove weeds and hunt for bugs."

  Yin Chengyun said that the so-called killing bugs is just that the villagers use the soles of their shoes to catch the bugs one by one and shoot them to death.

   "Then let the chickens eat bugs in the field."

   Brother Han said naively, that their chickens would definitely grow faster.

   "Silly boy, chickens not only eat bugs, but also peck the crops in the fields."

   Wei Shi smiled.

   "Isn't the chick stupid, obviously the meat is better." Brother Han felt that he couldn't understand the chick.

   "Don't have a plague of insects, it's over as soon as it comes."

   Liu said.

  “…”

  Yin Miao thought about it carefully, as if her grandmother would come every time she said not to come?

   However, about the plague of insects, the original book focusing on Gongdou did not mention it.

   "Insect plagues occur every few years, but it's not impossible."

  The three of Xiao Xuan also walked into the backyard. Recently, his physical condition seems to be much better, and the number of coughs is decreasing day by day. From time to time, he will look at the vegetables grown by the family in the yard.

Previously, every time he looked at Yin Miao, he would be worried, for fear that he would see something, but in the blink of an eye, King Xuan also grew up with brocade clothes and jade food. . Thinking of this, Yin Miao was not afraid of him going to see it.

  …

  In the evening when the villagers went to serve corvée, another major event happened in the village.

   Another official family member in the capital was exiled. This time, three women came, and one of them was covered in blood. The villagers said that she was a disfigured woman.

   The official who was responsible for bringing the three people here disliked the three people very much. After handing over the exile document to Wei Lizheng, he directly threw the three people at the entrance of the village and left.

  Weili was looking at the three women with different expressions. One of them was in a coma with blood all over his face. Although he was extremely helpless, he still found two men who had just returned from the ground and sent the three to Su Wanfeng's residence.

  Yin Miao finished counting the herbs with Granny Hua at Su Wanfeng's place, and sat down outside the door to tease Xiangrui. She wanted to wait for Yin He and Xiao Xuan, who was seeing a doctor, to go home together.

   The commotion outside the door gradually became louder, and I saw Zhang Fugui running in with a ragged man on his back, followed by two women with disheveled hair and some villagers.

   "Uncle Zhang, what's wrong?"

  Yin Miao stood up and couldn't help asking.

   "Is Su Langzhong here? Li is asking me to send this person here, saying that they were also exiled."

   Zhang Fugui ran panting and replied.

  Yin Miao was stunned, the court exiled people here again?

   "Yin...miao? Are you Yin Miao?"

   Behind Zhang Fugui, an older woman suddenly called out.

  ? ? ?

  Yin Miao looked at the woman, because the man's face was full of dirt, so she couldn't remember who she was for a while, but she felt a little familiar.

   At this time, Yin He had already called Su Wanfeng, so a group of people hurriedly carried the woman on Zhang Fugui onto the bed.

   "Fei Yao, Fei Yao, wake up soon!"

The    woman read out a name that Yin Miao was somewhat unexpected.

   Feiyao... Zheng Feiyao?

   "Are you Madam Wang?"

   Yin Miao tried to ask.

   It was just that the woman cried anxiously after seeing the unconscious woman covered in blood on the bed, and did not answer her immediately.

   "This girl, my lady's name is Zheng Feiyao. Madam's surname is indeed Wang. Can the girl deny it?"

   A woman behind the woman who didn't look too dirty turned her head and asked Yin Miao while looking at it.

Before Yin Miao could answer, she heard Zheng Feiyao, who was pinched by Su Wanfeng for a moment, kicked her legs and shouted loudly, "Emperor Dog! You pay my father's life back!"
