Chapter 112: The Rong People March South
The next day, the Shen family started heating the oil pan at noon.
"Mother, Second Aunt, eat... sugar residue," Shen Jinlin sucked his lips, watching the lard in Zhang's wok turn into a burnt yellow, and the shiny silk threads in his mouth kept falling down.
"Okay," Zhang squatted down and gently touched her nephew's forehead.
Wu, still busy and smiling, said, "Sister-in-law, this is a big piece of pork fat, it must weigh about 30 or 40 kilograms, let the children eat as much as they want."
Wu smiled and replied, "They can eat as much as they want, but I'm afraid they'll be too full and won't have time for the more delicious rabbit meat.
"Oh," Zhang said, "that's right. The lard will be ready soon. I'll add a bowl of sugar and half a bowl of salt. It's enough for you little devils to eat."
As he spoke, he picked up a small, browned piece of fried food, rolled it in a bowl of sugar, blew it cool, and put it into Shen Jinlin's mouth.
The little kid chewed with a crunching sound, and looked satisfied as if he had eaten a delicious meal.
Mrs. Wu looked at the oil residue at the corner of her youngest son's mouth and smiled again.
She was busy washing the radishes and jars in her hands, preparing to make sauerkraut.
Because she bought five ducks yesterday, Chen Xinli especially missed the taste of sour radish and duck soup, so she raised all the ducks.
Last night, Old Man Wu and Shen Fugui specially built a small duck house in the backyard with bamboo.
Early this morning, Old Man Wu found some discarded boards to reinforce the duck house.
Then he drove the five ducks to the nearby stream.
After breakfast, Chen Xinli leisurely walked to Xiaoaoling. She was really curious about who was secretly watching them last night.
Ah Hua also went with them.
It’s just that Ah Hua is hiding in the woods by the roadside.
When she reached the village entrance, she met a series of village women, all of whom greeted Chen Xinli warmly.
Yesterday, they followed the Shen family to Fuyun Town to sell goods, but they exchanged a lot of daily necessities.
This was unimaginable before.
Meng Yun has been staying in the mountains these days, digging and looking for medicinal herbs.
Also going there were Chen Xinyu and Zhang Xiaodi.
Ever since she knew that the black mushrooms could be exchanged for money, Chen Xinyu expanded her search area considerably.
Even Zhang Xiaodi was infected by the atmosphere of making money.
He would have to dig out black mushrooms in another area to show that he was not just a freeloader in the Shen family.
Shen Yushan and Shen Yulin naturally did not want to fall behind.
The Shen Fugui brothers were still busy chopping wood for the winter, but they were also looking for good wood to build a house.
I heard from Yu Lizheng that the snow here is very heavy in winter, sometimes reaching up to a man's thighs.
Shen Fugui looked at his own house and the thatched houses in the village these days. Most of them were made of old wood, and he didn't know how much of them had rotted.
Thinking of what my daughter said a few days ago about building a house, I was also thinking about it in my heart.
If the snow is really that heavy, this house won’t be able to withstand it!
Compared with the peaceful life of the Shen family.
Deep in the Yueling Mountains.
Zhao Lizheng and his party were traveling through the mountains and forests, feeling terrified.
They were all like frightened lambs. Hearing the screams coming from the forest behind them, Zhao Lizheng turned pale and immediately ordered everyone to hurry up.
The women in the team were so frightened that their lips trembled, and they no longer dared to complain that they were tired and could not walk anymore.
A few days ago, the Northern Rong army made unusual movements again.
initial.
The second prince of Beirong, Zhazhahe, believed that there was arable land in the north of Dali Kingdom, and even if some people fled, they would be able to capture sufficient labor.
But he underestimated that the climate not only affected their grasslands, but also brought disaster to the northwestern hinterland of Dali Kingdom.
Except for a few areas in the north that are close to water sources and can harvest autumn crops, most counties and towns have no grain reserves.
Not to mention the grassland vegetation, the mountains were bare and there was no extra grassland to feed their remaining cattle and sheep.
The second prince was a scumbag and very angry.
He had never imagined that the place where he planned to build his second capital would be a dilapidated place. How could he explain this to his father?
So he immediately ordered: slow down the plan of building the capital and send half of the cavalry to continue south.
The collected food and fodder must first be supplied to the cavalry heading south.
As a result, the imprisoned people of Dali became food for the remaining army.
At the beginning, some people in the north were reluctant to leave their homeland, while others walked hundreds of miles and felt that they had walked enough, so they stopped and watched from where they were.
They never expected it.
The Beirong cavalry actually followed them quietly.
For a moment, the people cried and screamed and fled in all directions.
But their two legs could never outrun the Rong cavalry.
The captured people were driven back to the north by the Rong people.
I thought they would help the Rong people build the city wall as the rumors first said.
But when they saw the overwhelming pile of bones, the people were collectively shocked!
This... these are a group of barbarians, they actually eat people...
Oh my God, who will save them?
On the other side, the cavalrymen heading south became more and more excited as they went south.
Because the air was obviously becoming more moist and the vegetation was becoming more abundant, the military horses could eat some green grass.
Until the army gathered at the foot of the Yueling Mountains.
Looking at the endless mountains and the lush vegetation before him, Zha Zhahe finally decided to send out 20,000 troops to test the waters first.
At first, the Rong people were not used to the various obstacles in the mountains and forests.
But gradually, they discovered that there were many good things on the mountain.
