Chapter 164 Sister-in-law, can you help me?
Wan Sanniang was even more confused, "Dad, if you ask me, I don't know."
"Forget it, then let's just tell the public that this is something passed down by our ancestors, so that outsiders will be wary of it. Who dares to attack our Guimenguan Village?"
"Okay, I'll listen to Dad."
Wan Dazhang ordered Wan Sanniang again, "You should quickly write a letter to other villages to explain what happened last night. Snake Mountain Village was treacherous and shameless. Let everyone join us in attacking Snake Mountain Village. Say that the strength of Snake Mountain Village was severely damaged last night, and it is a good time to harvest them..."
…
After that, for several days in a row, Zhou Qinan studied in the school every day.
The teacher put all the potential scholar candidates in Longquan School in a separate teaching room to study, and they were not in the same class with Zhou Lang.
There are not many students in the quasi-scholar class, and they are all supervised by the teacher at all times, and outsiders are not allowed to enter.
The little mute girl was in a girls' class, which was far away from the class for quasi-scholars, so she could hardly see them.
The two hadn't seen Zhou Qinan for several days.
Zhou Lang sneaked to the vicinity of Sheshan Village to check the situation. The village was closed and there was no movement at all.
Two days later, when I went to check the situation again, I saw signs of fighting at the gate of Sheshan Village.
It should be the people from Guimenguan Village who came to take revenge.
Afterwards, I heard that it was not just Guimenguan Village, but several surrounding villages that came to attack Snake Village. However, Snake Village had already been prepared and was on high alert, setting up all kinds of traps without spending any money...
They were not allowed to take it down.
Zhou Lang took a look at the traps. They were very sophisticated and did not seem like something a small village could have.
There are large crossbow carts mounted on each of the village's fortifications. They appear to be newly made and appear to be extremely powerful, which is also very rare.
This is timely arming.
Looking closely, there are many more martial arts masters...
Zhou Lang went back and inquired, only then did he find out the situation.
It is said that Sheshan Village has recruited a group of high-quality martial arts masters in the past few days. These martial arts masters came from all over the place and brought various specialties or heavy weapons to join the village...
This is probably related to Zhou Qinan.
In the book, Zhou Qinan is the first young master of Dayu. He has led the army to many victories and has a wide range of friends, often making friends with all kinds of people...
Is this all submitted and contacted?
It is certainly not that exaggerated. Who would unconditionally believe in rebirth? They are just here to help temporarily. If the expectations he mentioned cannot be met within a long period of time, they will surely fall apart.
As for friendships between people, sincerity is not of much use. It mainly depends on mutual benefit. Only when you are useful to others can the relationship last.
…
Old Zhou's family.
Ruan has been in a bad mood since she came back from the temple fair.
Wang found a chance when no one was around and spoke to her.
"Second sister-in-law, did you not draw the right lot at the temple fair? I heard that fourth sister-in-law is destined to have many children and great fortune. Our mother told the whole village as soon as she came home. What lot did you draw?"
Ruan stammered, "I forgot what I wrote when I signed the lottery."
"Tell me, even though you took a magic pill worth thirty taels of silver, it didn't work! Tsk tsk tsk tsk, I'm worried about you. You're getting older and older, and you won't be able to have children in the future. You and your second brother are both healthy and good people. It's impossible that you can't have a son... I feel sorry for you." Wang added fuel to the fire.
Ruan lowered her head and said, "Sister-in-law, can you help me? Where can I buy the incense ash you mentioned last time? I want to try it."
Wang was secretly delighted, finally the bait was taken.
She said tentatively, "It's been a long time since I gave birth to my son. I don't have any on hand now. If you really want to try, I have to go back to my parents' home to ask."
Ruan's hope ignited, "Okay, then I'll trouble you, sister-in-law."
Wang coughed lightly, "You have to think it through. Incense ash is sold by ounce, which is not cheap. One ounce of incense ash costs several ounces of silver, and you have to eat it every month..."
Ruan gritted her teeth and said, "I, I know. I'll buy less and try."
As he spoke, he handed Wang several dozen copper coins and said, "Thank you for your trouble. Use these to buy tea."
Wang smiled and said, "Hey, we are a family. Your business is my business. Why are you being so polite?"
Take those dozens of copper coins.
He also reminded, "This matter must be kept secret, and no one can tell it. If you tell others, it will not work. Before I gave birth to a son, I didn't tell anyone. Because this is obtained from the Bodhisattva, and the Bodhisattva wants it to be kept secret and cannot be told to outsiders."
Ruan nodded quickly, "I know."
Someone came, and Wang left quickly.
She didn't go to work today. She just finished her housework and went out.
***
The teacher of Longquan Academy announced a good thing.
It is said that there will be a great scholar in the county school to give lectures. To attend the lecture, one needs a quota and qualifications.
The county school gave Longquan School ten places, which is the largest number of places among the schools in the surrounding towns.
After the teachers discussed it, they decided to rank Zhou Lang, the new student, first. The other few were also outstanding students in the academy. Zhou Qinan also had a place, but Zhou Qinan and the others were already candidates for the quasi-scholarship exam and had to make good use of their time to study, so they did not go.
So, Zhou Lang and the others followed the Master.
Mrs. Zhou told everyone that her fourth son had gone to the county town to study...
The whole village felt the indescribable joy.
Everybody complimented her.
Lin Shiqi goes to the mountains with the children every day to pick grass for pigs, pick wild flowers, dig grass, and shoot short videos. He is very busy and happy.
Zhou Lang has his own things to do, and the little mute girl also lives a fulfilling life every day. She used to be Lin Shiqi's little follower, and now she is Zhou Lang's little follower.
I can’t play with Lin Shiqi anymore.
Just can't connect to the internet.
Lin Shiqi has edited several high-quality short videos, but cannot upload them.
Old Zhou's tofu business is still doing well. They deliver goods every day, and Mrs. Zhou is so happy that she never stops smiling.
But Old Man Zhou looked a little worried because there was too little rain in the spring.
During the spring planting season, we used the water from the Taohua River. Now it is April and May, the rice has begun to ear, and the water in the Taohua River has dried up.
Now the people in Taohua Village have no drinking water, so they have to turn to the mountains to fetch spring water for drinking.
The well in Old Zhou's house was running dry, so every day, Mrs. Zhou asked the men in the family to fetch water from the mountains.
Their family uses a lot of water, not only because they have a large family, but they also have to make tofu.
The road I use to fetch water from the mountains every day is almost worn out.
The spring water in the mountains is becoming less and less day by day.
Old man Zhou goes to the fields every day, and he wishes he could fetch water from the mountains to irrigate the fields. However, the water he fetches is just a drop in the bucket for the fields.
Also, there is not as much spring water in the mountains as before.
I pray for rain every day.
It is not just Taohua Village that is short of water. The entire Jixiang County has little rain and is short of water.
