Traveling through famine years, peasant girls hold space in their hands to store food

Xie Kui drove the carriage and led his master and his party towards the small fishing village.

Along the way, there were people talking and joking in groups of twos and threes, picking and lifting each other, with smiles on their faces. The people of Qizhou can live and work in peace and contentment.

As the carriage walked slowly, several maids excitedly discovered that there were more and more seafood sellers here. They had also eaten the seafood rewarded by their master before, and they were still unsatisfied.

This time they can live here for a while, so they can eat seafood every day.

An hour later, the carriage drove into a small fishing village. There were not many people in this fishing village. It was backed by mountains and facing the tide sea. The scenery was very nice.

"The master is here." Ling Feng knew he was there when he saw Xie Kui stopped the car and walked up ahead.

As soon as they entered the small village, a group of children chased their carriage and looked at the group of people curiously. This small fishing village is a bit remote and not many people come here all year round. This is the first time that the children in the village have seen it. carriage.

Ziyue and Ziyao got off the carriage first and helped their master down behind them.

"Oh my god, it feels so good here!" Xia Yun jumped off the carriage and cheered. In the distance, he could hear the waves of the sea crashing, and there seemed to be some chants.

Xia Yun asked suspiciously what the sound was. The children nearby cautiously gathered around her and responded softly to her: "That is the sound of fishermen going out to sea to catch fish, which indicates smooth sailing."

Xia Yun suddenly realized that this was the case. This was the first time Lu Qingqing heard this statement. Looking at the group of children in front of her, she asked some more about things in the village. Finally, she motioned with her eyes to Xia Yun to share some maltose with these children.

"Thank you pretty sister."

"Wow, it's maltose!"

When a group of children saw the candy, the childlike joy on their faces made people laugh.

Lu Qingqing asked the children to point out the direction of the village chief's house, and then led a few maids towards a stone house at the foot of the mountain.

"Master, why are there all stone houses here?"

Lu Qingqing shook her head lightly and said softly. I wonder if it has something to do with the location and the surrounding environment?

"Environment?" Biyun said doubtfully.

Several people came to the stone house, Ziyue stepped forward and knocked on the door, and soon a young woman came out.

When the Madam saw the strangers, she was confused. It had been a long time since outsiders had come to their small fishing village, let alone such a beautiful lady from a noble family.

"I wonder what's wrong, Miss?"

Lu Qingqing took a step forward and asked with a slight smile on her face that this was the village chief's home. They came to see the village chief for something today.

Upon hearing this, the lady realized that she was looking for her man to do something. Then a warm smile appeared on her face. She turned sideways and welcomed the few people into the courtyard. "Please come inside quickly. He is in the house. I will call him."

After saying that, he took several people into the main room of the main house, while he went to the backyard to look for people.

"Daddy, someone is looking for you."

Xu Da wiped the sweat from his forehead, put down his work, and asked his mother-in-law angrily who was looking for him?

The woman rolled her eyes at him and told him to hurry up. Then she turned around and walked forward. First she went to the kitchen, picked up a pot of hot water and a few bowls, and walked towards the main room.

"Miss, we don't have much tea in our small village, so we can only give everyone some boiled water."

The woman put the bowl on the table in front of Lu Qingqing with a smile on her face and poured water while talking.

Xia Yun and others stood beside Lu Qingqing. After hearing the woman's words, they turned to look at their master. Lu Qingqing smiled slightly and nodded politely to his wife: "It's okay, Auntie, you're welcome."

While he was talking, Xu Dabian walked in, "Who is looking for me?" When he entered the main room, he saw the girl sitting inside, and he was startled.

Lu Qingqing put down the tea bowl in her hand, stood up and blessed the man, saying that she was from out of town and wanted to live in this small fishing village temporarily. Is that okay?

"Ah? The girl wants to live in this small fishing village? But..." Xu Da looked at the thin skin and tender flesh of the people and shook their heads in disapproval.

Lu Qingqing was puzzled and just about to ask, she heard the woman next to her say: "Don't be surprised, Miss, this small village is not suitable for...Miss, it is relatively close to the sea. The sea breeze will usually blow you." Needless to say, just look at this stone house and you will know that the seaside is humid."

Only then did the maids realize that there was not a large population in the village, but all the houses were built with stones. Was this the reason?

The master's body is indeed not suitable for living here.

At this time, Xu Da looked at Lu Qingqing's disappointed expression, pondered for a moment and said, "Girl, there is a village in the mountain col. It was built by a wealthy family who was also curious about the environment here, but they moved it not long after." Let's go, if you really want to..."

Lu Qingqing's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she asked the village chief excitedly if she could go and have a look at the village. Does the owner want to rent or sell it?

Xu Da raised the corners of his lips, with a simple and honest smile on his face, and said in a deep voice that he was familiar with the previous owner. He had also entrusted him to sell Zhuangzi before, but he had never found a suitable one. The seller kept delaying it.

As soon as the words fell, the woman also remembered such a thing, patted her thigh and chuckled and talked to Lu Qingqing: "There is such a thing, otherwise I would have forgotten it, I will get the key."

Before the man could say anything, the woman groped furiously towards a cabinet in the main room, and found a copper key on the top case.

"I found it, girl, why don't you go down and take a look first?"

At this time, Xu Da introduced the situation of the village to Lu Qingqing. The village was built the year before last. The owner only lived there for less than a year and then moved away. The couple often helped to take care of it, so there was no need to work hard. Repair something.

As he said this, he told Lu Qingqing that he was going home to drive a bullock cart.

The woman took off her apron and said with a smile on her face that she would go and have a look with them.

"Miss, does she live with her family?"

When Lu Qingqing heard the woman's words, he took out the words he had prepared before and said them again.

"My husband is doing business outside. I have always liked the sea and want to go to the beach for a walk. This time I have the opportunity to pass by Qizhou and want to live here for a while."

The woman looked at the maids around Lu Qingqing and couldn't help but sigh at how good her husband was to her.

"It seems that Madam's family is also a wealthy family." The woman looked at Lu Qingqing's servants outside and couldn't help asking.

Lu Qingqing's lips curled up into a slight smile.

At this time, Xu Da drove the bullock cart out of the backyard and called to the woman in the yard and Lu Qingqing and his party. When he saw the two carriages not far from the courtyard gate, Xu Da was slightly startled and cursed in his heart. The noble man comes from a wealthy family!
