The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

Yan Shu was relieved.

"When are we leaving?"

"The carriage is ready and ready to go."

"Okay, I'll go back to the room to clean up."

After Yan Shu returned to the house, Jiang Ci said goodbye to Yan Ersheng, Liu Wenniang, Yan Wen and Yan Wu.

Yan Ersheng said: "Studying away is not as good as at home. You two take good care of yourselves, and I will leave Shu'er to you to help take care of me."

Jiang Ci said: "Second uncle, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Ah Shu."

Yan Ersheng nodded and looked at Yan Huai aside.

"And you, the third child, have the opportunity to study because Erlang requested a place for you from White Deer Academy. I heard that that academy is one of the best universities in our Sui Dynasty. It's not easy for you to study in a place like that at your age. You must work harder. My parents don’t ask you to get fame in the future like Erlang and Yutang. They only hope that you will learn more words and change the family tradition of our family."

Yan Huai nodded firmly: "My father's words have been remembered by my son. After arriving at the academy, my son will study hard and never let down Erlang's good intentions."

Yan Ersheng patted Yan Huai's shoulder happily: "It's getting late and the mountain road is difficult to walk. You should pack your things and go down the mountain early."

Yan Wen and Yan Wu walked to Yan Huai.

"Third brother, you go to the academy to adapt first. Erlang, Yutang, and little sister are with you. When the elder brother and the second brother are free in a few days, they will go down the mountain to see you."

"Okay, I'll wait for the eldest brother and the second brother to come."

Yan Wu then slapped Yan Huai on the shoulder: "You kid, don't just focus on studying. Don't fall behind in the martial arts we learned. The second brother will challenge you when we meet next time."

Yan Huai smiled: "Second brother, feel free to come, I'll just wait."

Yan Shu quickly packed her things. In fact, she didn't have anything to pack. There was everything in the space. She only packed a few clothes with baggage as she imagined.

As the group walked out of the house, Liu Wenniang did not forget to tell them to dress warmly and eat well, and not to be cold or hungry.

"Mom, don't worry, I'll be back in a few days."

The purpose of her trip was to detoxify Jiang Ci. As long as the poisoned woman dared to show up, she was confident that she could catch him.

Liu Wenniang held Yan Shu's hand and said, "Well, my parents are waiting at home. Come back early."

"it is good."

At this time, Huanying, Wu Ming, Ying Si and two boys who looked exactly the same came over. The two boys were brothers Guan Shan and Guan Hai. This time Jiang Ci left Ying Si and him to guard Banpo Village. .

Jiang Ci gave instructions before leaving: "Protect the Yan family and send a message in time if there is any situation."

"Yes!" The three of them responded respectfully.

Jiang Ci looked at the Guan brothers: "I heard from Ying Si that your martial arts have improved very quickly in the past two months. I will send you a separate mission after a while. If this mission is completed satisfactorily, you can Officially join the Shadow Sect."

The two brothers were very excited. Although they were currently following their master as shadow guards, they had not actually joined the Shadow Sect. The rules of the Xuan Zong Sect were very strict, and the selection of disciples was extremely harsh. Only those who passed the Xuan Sect's numerous examinations Only then are you qualified to enter the inner sect and become a true disciple of the Xuanzong sect.

The task assigned to them by their master will certainly not be simple, but this is also the most direct way for them to quickly join the Shadow Sect.

I heard that there are many disciples from the outer sect of Xuanzong who have been in the sect for three or four years but have not been able to enter the inner sect, so for the two brothers, this opportunity is too rare.

"Thank you, Master, for your cultivation. My two brothers will definitely not disappoint Master!"

Jiang Ci told Ying Si a few more words, and then walked to Yan Shu's side.

"time to go."

Yan Shu let go of Liu Wenniang's hand.

"Father, mother, eldest brother, second brother, if you want to send me a message, just go to Ying Si. He will bring the news to me."

"Okay, we understand, Shu'er, take care of yourself."

Yan Shu nodded obediently, then reluctantly stepped onto the carriage.

Jiang Ci prepared two carriages. Some of the shadow guards who originally lived next door were secretly protecting them, leaving only ten shadow guards to follow the carriages.

Jiang Ci and Yan Shu rode in the same carriage, and Yan Huai and Wen Yutang rode in the same carriage. Huan Ying and Wu Ming rode to protect the sides of the carriage.

The group of people left Banpo Village in a mighty manner and headed slowly down the mountain.

at the same time

the other side

Although the seventh uncle is old, he is a vigorous and resolute person.

After he left the Yan family, he quickly ordered Yan Fugui, Zhao San, and Wang Daneng to gather all the strong laborers from each household.

Half an hour later, the seventh uncle came to the drying yard outside the ancestral hall with several elders of the Yan family and three village chiefs.

The waiting villagers asked curiously: "Seventh uncle, village chief, you are so anxious to call everyone here, but what's the emergency?"

The seventh uncle looked at everyone: "We just discussed with Erlang and Fourth Girl the issue of farming in our village. You all know that if all the fields in the back mountain are allotted, each household will be able to get more than one acre of land at most. , Our village currently has more than 3,000 mouths waiting for food. If we hand over some of the public food, the remaining food may not be enough for us to eat ourselves, let alone earn some money for chewing."

The villagers are most concerned about food. After arriving in this village, the first thing they paid attention to was the fields.

The name of Banpo Village comes from the fact that the entire village was built on a slope. What the previous aborigines left behind were terraced fields on slopes after land reclamation. It was indeed difficult to feed them on this land.

"Uncle Seventh is right. The current year is not good. Last year's crops were all harvested. I don't know what will happen this year. If each household can only be allocated one acre of land, we are afraid that we will have to continue this year." Starving.”

"It's hard to settle down. I don't want to continue to live a life of cold and hunger. I hope God will open my eyes this year and we won't encounter the horrible weather like last year again."

Some villagers asked: "What can Erlang and Fourth Girl do?"

The seventh uncle shouted loudly: "Everyone, please stop arguing and listen to me. As the saying goes, the mountains depend on the mountains. Although our farmland is not enough, we guard such a large mountain forest. If we can open up wasteland for farming in the mountains, we will produce more crops every year." The food is all our extra rations."

"Seventh Uncle, it is not easy to open up wasteland for farming. Many villagers in Xinghua Village used to open up wasteland in the back mountains. In the end, due to various reasons such as too much shade, too many weeds, and inconvenient watering, the food they grew could not grow at all. not good."

"It's different this time. The fourth girl found a new crop. We have just tasted this crop. It has a fragrant and soft taste and is very suitable for food. Moreover, this crop is what the fourth girl found on the mountain, so we are on the mountain. Planting nature is also possible.”

The villagers were dubious.

"Really? Can we take a look at that thing?"

The seventh uncle ordered Yan Fugui to bring over the basket, which contained a dozen cooked potatoes.

Yan Fugui had cut a dozen potatoes into pieces in advance, trying to let everyone taste them.

People rushed forward to pick up a small piece and taste it.

"This tastes really good."

"It would be great if it could really be grown. We don't have enough food to eat, so we can use this instead."

After everyone had a lively conversation for a while, Uncle Seven asked, "Do you agree to open up wasteland?"

"We agree! The fourth girl and Erlang are far-sighted people, and what they say is definitely not wrong."

"Yes, we have to listen to them all this way to survive. We will just listen to them in the future!"

Without much thought, hundreds of strong laborers nodded and agreed to join the land reclamation.

The seventh uncle then took out the deed and read the contents to everyone. After hearing the contents of the deed, everyone gave up all their worries.

After opening up wasteland, you can not only create more fields and food, but also sell the food for money. The only thing you can't do is that you can't sell the food to people outside the village, but the purchase price Jiang Ci offered is too tempting. They have no reason to refuse.

Starting from the villagers of Xinghua Village, everyone put their red fingerprints on the deed one after another, making two copies.

One of the copies was given to Ying Si by Uncle Qi, and the other was left in his hands to keep on behalf of the villagers.

That day, everyone couldn't wait to go home and tell their families the good news. Then the villagers went up the mountain to open up wasteland.
