In the year of disaster in the book, the villain girl is the real winner

He was over forty years old and had experienced several wars between the Great Zhou and the Western Rong.

When he was young, there were some minor frictions between the two countries.

The Western Rong people were unable to break through the Ningyuan County, so the stragglers would cross the mountains on both sides and enter the hinterland to steal food. His ancestors and fathers would take them to hide in Phoenix Mountain.

In the mountains, as long as you hide and don't get found by the Xirong people, and eat dry food until the army defeats the Xirong people, you can successfully survive.

When bandits came to rob homes, the Pomegranate Villagers spontaneously organized young and strong people to defend their homes.

Over the years, Shiliu Village has successfully resisted several attacks by mountain bandits by relying on its geographical advantage.

Mr. He had a deeper understanding of the war fourteen years ago.

Because the Western Rong people broke into the Ningyuan County, fortunately the defending general at that time fought desperately, led the army and civilians to fight the Western Rong invaders in street battles, and fought to drive out the invaders with his last breath. Finally, the crown prince led his troops to attack and provide support.

That year, Grandpa He took He Huaian and He Huaiping to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

It was not because they were not afraid of death and dared to kill the Western Rong people as civilians, but because He Huaizhang passed the imperial examination and was studying in the city at that time.

The He family’s grocery store was not sold either.

None of the three brothers He Huaizhang got married.

After the harvest, He Jiaqiu and his family moved to the city. When the Western Rong attacked, they didn't have time to leave the city, so they were recruited by the garrison commander to guard the city wall together. They could only advance and retreat together with the garrison to defend their home and country.

just now.

The He family all lives in Shiliu Village.

If possible, Mr. He doesn't want any more men in the He family to be conscripted into the army.

He and Huai'an, Huaizhang and Huaibi all know martial arts.

But escorting an escapade is escorting an escaping, and killing is killing, even if it is killing an enemy, it will leave a shadow.

Huaiping was able to take advantage of Xu Yushi because he had killed a living Xirong man fourteen years ago and he had not been able to get over it for a long time. He was often in a trance.

Because of these things, when He Huaizhang later said he wanted to sell the family grocery store, they did not object.

He Huaian also gave up the idea of ​​continuing to open a grocery store in the city.

Because of this, the He family lived obediently in Shiliu Village, guarding the dozens of acres of land. They were worried that when the fifteen years were up, if war broke out again, the He family would not be trapped in the city and would have a chance to retreat to Fenghuang Mountain, Licheng, or Kuncheng.

If you were trapped in the city and confronted the enemy, the despair you would feel would be indescribable.

Just when Mr. He was hesitating whether to say harsh words to the people of Pomegranate Village, He Huaian came back.

Returning with him were the men, women, young and old from the Jin family, as well as several donkey carts transporting food and luggage.

Jin Cuihua ran over.

"Boss, why did you bring all the Jin family here today? Have you moved all the food and things here?"

He Huaian said: "I told my father-in-law and mother-in-law about my speculation that the Xirong people and bandits from other regions might come. They thought it was very likely. I also felt that Taohua Village was in a low-lying area and difficult to defend. If bandits came to rob, they would first rob Taohua Village and Lihua Village. So, I just took them here to live first."

"The Jin family still has a lot of stuff, so we have to go there soon. By the way, how about you? What's the result in Pomegranate Village?"

When talking about the results of the discussion in Pomegranate Village, Jin Cuihua's face was filled with anger.

She told He Huaian about the problems in Pomegranate Village.

He Huaian looked at everyone.

He said: "Although it seems that the He family has taken advantage of organizing the young and strong people in the village to patrol, stand guard, and protect the safety of the village. But the He family also has more people. My father and second brother are good at boxing and kicking. There are also me and my uncles who can help at critical moments. What about you? Who among you can fight as well as us?"

"You can refuse. At worst, our He family can organize ourselves. But I, He Huaian, will make it clear. If something bad happens, our He family and the people sent by Master Yanshi will only take care of the people and property of the He family. Whatever happens to you, it will have nothing to do with the He family."

He Yaozu, the He family's uncle, hurriedly said, "Huaian, don't be angry. Your father is right. Except for Shiliu Village and the surrounding Taohua Village, Lihua Village, Liushu Village, and a few military settlements, the rest of Ningyuan County has suffered more or less from the disaster."

"The edible wild vegetables in Fenghuang Mountain have long been plucked out by people from other places. Even if the Xirong people can't come, there are still many people from other villages who covet our Shiliu Village. And our Shiliu Village is near the official road. We have a good harvest of grain and water here. I believe that everyone in Lizhou has already known about it."

"The wealth has been exposed, so we have to be on guard. Your father suggested that we organize young men to guard Pomegranate Village, and our second branch will of course fully support it. How about this, our second branch will send two young men to work together with the first branch."

He Yaozu's wife, He Tao, also said, "You all have taken advantage of my uncle's family. Don't shirk your responsibility when I ask you to do the work. Patrols and guards are taken in turns."

He Huaian added: "For families with few men, you can arrange for women with good eyesight to work together. When the time comes, women will form teams and stand at their posts, responsible for observing whether there are strangers approaching Shiliu Village. Women can also do this kind of work, and it won't take up too much time, and they can contribute to the protection of Shiliu Village."

He Huaian took the Jin family over.

The He family still has a few people who stayed over from the banquet, so even if they are alone, they can form a team.

The villagers were still worried that the He family would really abandon them and go into the city to escape the disaster, so everyone began to take sides.

Except for Old Lady Li and a few people who were jealous of the He family's wealth, almost no one objected.

Seeing that most people were on the He family's side, even those few who were jealous of the He family's wealth switched sides.

Finally, the Li family had no choice but to follow the crowd and agree to the decision to organize young and strong patrols.

It’s a pity that the He family has become the backbone of this matter. It always feels that the He family is above everyone else. Those who were jealous of the He family before just feel dissatisfied.

Old Mrs. Li was even more unwilling.

While He Huaian was taking the Jin family and the donkey cart back to Taohua Village to transport things, everyone in Shiliu Village was still discussing the specific arrangements for the follow-up, so they sent their grandson to dig sweet potatoes in the land that the He family bought from the Li family.

This sweet potato is really valuable.

The government bought sweet potatoes from the He family and gave so much money in one go.

The varieties of sweet potatoes are also strictly controlled.

When she asked the He family for food, she asked for sweet potatoes, but the He family refused to give them any.

What they said was that next year the He family would raise the seedlings in a unified way and everyone would plant them in a unified way. After that, they would have to register with the government, accept supervision, and plant and harvest in a unified way.

She just didn't believe it. Sweet potatoes were available all over the country. If she stole some and sold them to the Western Rong people in exchange for some money and food, would County Magistrate Du and his men really do anything to an old woman like her?

After He Qiudi sold the soap, he was about to return to the county government office with the results of the market survey in his mind. When he entered the Feng family in the backyard of the county government office through the side door, he suddenly heard a commotion.

"Don't run! Stop! You little bitch, stop right there! If I catch you, you'll be in trouble!"

He Qiudi and others subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound.

Around the corner, a young woman with messy hair and covered in wounds came running over.

After seeing them, the other party shouted at the top of his lungs: "Save me..."
