The cannon fodder of fast wear, she chooses to farm

Chapter 260 The Vicious Female Supporting Flees to Farm (10)

"What should we do? We don't have any other relatives here except the aunt of the child in Fucheng. Where can we settle down?"

The hardships of the past few days finally couldn't hold back until this moment. Wang Daniu's wife, Feng Shi, took the lead in wiping away tears and crying.

When she cried, her daughter-in-law also cried.

Although the men held back, their eyes were red, and they were trying not to cry.

Xu Yin looked at the closed city gate and the victims who knew there was no way to get in but still lined up to try their luck, and sighed deeply in her heart.

Turning around, he said to Wang Daniu's family: "In the current situation, it is expected that it will be difficult to enter the city. Why don't we go to the surrounding villages to see, maybe someone is willing to rent a room for us. Settling down first and then making other plans. It's raining."

Father Wang is an old farmer. He looked up at the sky and said, "The hero is right. The weather will not be sunny for long. I just wonder if the weather has changed in Tongxing Mansion. The weather has changed! How about alleviating the drought sooner?" !"

Xu Yin knew in her heart that the drought in Tongxing Mansion would last until the end of the year, the spring of the following year to be exact.

So even if the Wang family made up their minds and wanted to go back home, she was still planning to find a place to stay in Dongxuan Mansion.

Fortunately, Wang Daniu had the same idea with her: "Father is not in good health, and he has been supported by his spirit all the way, and finally arrived at the Dongxuan Mansion. As the heroic little brother said, let's find a place to settle down first, and find out clearly the Let’s make plans for the situation in Xingfu.”

So, the two families continued to travel together, squeezed out the team of victims, and inquired about the nearest village to Fucheng.

But I don't know if it's because there are more victims and more troubles, and no village is willing to accept outsiders.Not to mention long-term rental, no one is willing to stay for one night temporarily.

"I heard that there was a refugee riot in Tongxing Mansion, and many people died. The news has spread to Dongxuan Mansion."

When Wang Daniu inquired about such news, everyone was a little depressed.

Seeing the clouds getting lower and lower, everyone couldn't help feeling anxious.

At this time, a new notice was posted outside the city gate of Dongxuan Mansion.

Wang Xiaohu, who claimed to be literate, squeezed into the crowd to watch. After a long while, he came back dejectedly and said, "The imperial court released documents to mobilize land reclamation. It has nothing to do with us, right? Our family is not without land."

"You're stupid!" Wang Daniu gave him a slap in the face, "Why did the imperial court let go of the deserted document at this time? It's to appease us who left our homes and fled to this place! Tell me carefully, what is written on the document?"

"I don't know a lot of words." Wang Xiaohu scratched his head, "But I heard a scholar read behind me, it seems that it is a wasteland that was opened up. The land tax is free in the first year, only [-]% in the second year, and [-]% in the third year. The percentage is still [-]%, anyway, it will be classified as ordinary land after three years, and it can be traded or something."

Xu Yin didn't know if Wang Daniu was moved after hearing this, but anyway, she was moved and decided to stay in Dongxuan Mansion to open up wasteland and farm.

How much wasteland is opened up is your own.

She has a lot of strength, so she will plant a few more acres. It will be more difficult in the first few years. When the weather is good, it will be stable. At that time, she can grow sugar cane and watermelon, which she is good at.

As for the husband in name, return the two cubs to him safely and soundly, and see you in the rivers and lakes!
However, there are also many people who do not want to open up wasteland.

The wastelands are located in remote mountainous areas. There are no oxen or plows. It will take a year and a half just to remove the stones and weeds, and then loosen the soil. There are more than a little difficulties.

Wang Daniu's family gave up land reclamation and decided to look for short-term jobs nearby, and return home if there was none.

So, the two sides separated.

Before parting, Mrs. Feng shared some dried vegetables and pickled melons from her family with Xu Yin.

"I also said to settle down and invite you to dinner. In this situation, I don't know when I can really settle down."

"It will be fine."

Xu Yin gave her back some dried radish, pickled pepper and sour bamboo shoots.

Most of these dried radishes were dried by Erlang and did not contain salt; some of them were stockpiled in her system warehouse.

The two are mixed together, and the soup is only a little saltier than plain water, and some electrolytes are replenished.

Too salty is also easily arousing suspicion. In inland areas, salt is not so easy to get.

Pickled peppers and sour bamboo shoots are also stocked in her warehouse. They are stored in small earthen jars. Eating sour bamboo shoots in hot weather is very appetizing.

Xu Yin asked them not to go back to Tongxing Mansion for the time being, as the disaster situation has not eased, and there are constant riots by refugees, it is better to find a safe place nearby.

I hope Wang Daniu's family will listen.

Xu Yin glanced back at them, pushed up the cart and took the two children to follow the land reclamation team to the mountainous area.

Some government officials sent people to maintain order, but the team of victims who went to open up wasteland did not cause any trouble.

Xu Yin adds some color to her tanning makeup every day, and now she is in the same shade as Erlang, who is naturally dark. She walks in the line in a low-key manner, and feeds herself and the two children a few sips of spiritual spring water from time to time.

She had a vague feeling that if there was a sudden heavy rain, many people would probably get sick.

Fleeing famine for days, fatigued and exhausted, coupled with three meals a day, the body's immunity is at the end of its strength.

At the gate of the city before, many people had already shown signs of heat stroke. If there is a sudden heavy rain and it is hot and cold, they will not fall down!

Xu Yin kept praying in her heart that it wouldn't rain, and if it did, it would have to wait until they arrived at the foothold.

However, is God the kind that takes effect when people pray?Then it wouldn't be called a thief.

The long line was still winding forward, and the big raindrops began to crackle.

Xu Yin hurriedly put on straw raincoats and bamboo hats for the two children, and covered the luggage, especially the rice bags, with straw felt made of thatch along the way.

However, most people think that the rain is good!

"Hahaha! God finally opened his eyes! It's raining! Finally it's raining!"

"It's raining! It's raining! Hahaha—"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!"

One by one or joy or cry bitterly.

Regardless of the urging of the yamen servants, everyone stopped and hurried on their way.

Some greeted the heavy rain with open arms; some raised their heads to catch the rainwater to quench their thirst;

"Brother, I want to take a bath too."

Erlang turned his head to look at Xu Yin with bright eyes and said, he just wanted to take off the bamboo hat and coir raincoat with his hand.

"no!"

Xu Yin, who had just put on her coir raincoat and bamboo hat, hurriedly stopped him.

"Put it on quickly! You'll catch a cold!"

"cold?"

"...It's the wind and cold."

Hearing the wind and cold, Erlang's eyes darkened, and he no longer insisted on taking a shower in the rain. He obediently sat next to the rice bag with his third sister, and tried his best to protect the rice bag and bedding from the heavy rain.

The yamen servant waved his whip a few times before the team moved on.

Xu Yin couldn't help worrying that these people who were exposed to the rain might get sick.
