Chapter 199: All those who can be used are included in the command
The fingertips, with a burning and sticky feeling, pressed against the boy's slightly cool skin, and rubbed it unconsciously for a few times.
Xue Yongan's Adam's apple rolled, and he held down Chen Chunxing's mischievous little hand and kissed it gently.
"If you say so, should I go to work or not?"
Chen Chunxing's old face turned red, and he quickly broke free, looking around guiltily... Then he saw the brat with a twisted mouth due to anger.
Shen Mingqiu took off his gloves and threw them at Xue Yongan, "If you don't work, you won't have food to eat! Mr. Xue is such a distinguished person, are you planning to be an overseer?"
He was so sarcastic that Diao slapped him on the back of the head.
"Are you born in the year of the dog? You want to bite him the moment you see him? What's wrong with you..."
Diao muttered as she picked up the gloves but did not hand them to Xue Yongan.
"But the brat is right. If you don't work, you won't eat. Xiao Xue, you don't mind, right?"
The old lady smiled and put the sickle into Xue Yongan's hand.
The boy always behaved well in front of her.
Besides, Xue Yongan came here today to show his courtesy.
The clothes he wore were all shorts, which were convenient for working in the fields.
Although the Shen family is large, there is only one young and middle-aged male.
Yang has always been responsible for all the heavy physical work, and now with two more people, the work can be finished even faster.
The master has personally come out to deal with the situation, Maoping can't just squat on the edge of the field and watch, right?
Just had to keep up.
But he seemed to have never done farm work before. Once he got to the field, his hands and feet seemed to be out of control and he almost cut off his ankle.
Diao shook her head and called people up to help her move the rice.
Chen Chunxing was not idle either. He followed Xue Yongan, one chopping and the other picking up.
He then asked, "Didn't someone invite you to visit Liuren City? Why didn't you go?"
Xue Yongan's movements were clean and smooth, like a veteran. "I went there and came back again."
Think about it.
He straightened up, stared at the girl seriously and said, "The other party offered a high price, enough to give you a pure gold dowry."
Chen Chunxing chuckled: "I've never heard of a man saving up a dowry for his wife!"
Xue Yongan buried his head in the fields again, and the voice that came out was a little vague: "It's different..."
The two of them no longer distinguish between you and me.
Back then in the underworld, without worldly constraints, Xu could still be ignorant. Now that he is reborn as a human being, the boy's heart is completely alive.
If necessary, he could add a dowry to her and let her marry into the Shen family.
Nothing in the world can attract his attention, only the lonely soul he met on the Naihe Bridge can make him willing to re-enter the world.
The sunlight sprinkled on the boy's fair face, and his dark and deep eyes were like a stone, causing ripples in the little girl's heart.
She thought that it was not suitable to go out in such hot weather, as it was easy to get heatstroke.
Chen Chunxing stepped back slightly, squatted on the edge of the field, and pretended to be nonchalant while fanning himself. He forced himself to change the subject: "You came back so quickly, didn't you go into the city to see Doctor Chu and the others?"
Xue Yongan replied nonchalantly, "We can't get in. Liuren City is under martial law."
Chen Chunxing was speechless.
Martial law has been imposed in a no-man's-land? Could something unexpected have happened...
She was a little curious, but more than that, she was dissatisfied with the situation being out of her control.
A light click.
He put on some seriousness and thought, "Given the Liu family's power, they're just looking for relatives, not seeking revenge. Even the city lord has no reason to stop them. So, there's no need to worry about Doctor Chu... I guess it'll be a matter of time."
Xue Yongan also thought so, so he returned without any delay.
"Do you remember where those people who work for us for free come from?" He glanced at Chen Chunxing meaningfully. "Before leaving, I went to the Jiebei Mountains to investigate. Now there are almost no bandits there."
Yang Yucheng went to look for the seventh prince, so after finding him, he immediately escorted him away without any real intention of suppressing the bandits.
On the other hand, in the Eighteen Villages, apart from a group of people who were frightened by Xue Yongan, more people died in internal strife.
But even so, it shouldn't disappear so quickly.
Chen Chunxing almost instantly thought of the key point, "What about Liuren City's move?"
Xue Yongan didn't answer, but sneered, "Some people are using the iron ore for logging and splitting it. Those that can be used are all sent to our Honglu County, and those that can't are buried in the mountains."
"I don't know whether I should thank this person or not."
Chen Chunxing naturally heard the sarcasm in his words and frowned slightly.
I couldn't help but think of the strange old Taoist priest I met in the granary.
After a while.
She shook her head.
"This person is very cunning. I don't like him. I'll try to avoid him in the future."
People who can accomplish great things are often not particular about trivial matters, but she is just a crazy girl from the countryside, how can she accomplish great things?
Since it is difficult to identify with it, just avoid it.
Otherwise, one day you will end up standing on the opposite side and worry in vain.
——
After the summer harvest, the imperial court would come to collect taxes. Since they had their own people around, they were not afraid of being "kicked out and beaten".
After paying taxes honestly, it was time to start the autumn plowing.
Everyone is so busy that even though they know business is around the corner, they have no time to earn money.
Compared to those dead things, in the eyes of farmers, only things that can be eaten and fill the stomach are real.
This time the bandits finally came in handy.
It’s not that the villagers were willing to spend money, but the Shen family took over this job on the grounds of strictly planning the crops.
It's okay for women to be busy with harvesting, but it's a bit too much for them to work non-stop in the fields.
Since the village pays for it anyway, there is no objection.
Of course, the most important thing is that no one dares to give Chen Chunxing any advice.
The bandits were even more afraid.
To this day, their calves tremble whenever they see Xue Yongan.
It is true that he was planning to surrender, and it is also true that he was scared out of his wits.
then.
After assigning the autumn plowing work to the bandits, everyone started to work on moving.
The narrow village is not really close to the county town.
But compared to the thousand-mile exile, it is not worth mentioning.
With the mule carts and ox carts provided by the Shen family, at least the old and young in Gan don't have to work too hard.
Don’t worry if there are too many things. At most, you can just make two more trips back and forth yourself.
No one would mind the hassle just to move into the city.
Just like that, on a sunny spring morning, the narrow village suddenly became empty.
At noon that day, the people of Honglu County witnessed a shocking scene.
At first they thought they were disaster victims from somewhere, and they shouted at the city guards to close the gates, causing quite a commotion.
It was not until he saw him jogging to Xue Yongan to pay his respects that he stopped in surprise and stared in amazement at a group of people entering the city.
This group of people, young and old, with pale faces, thin bodies, dusty looks, and poorly dressed, could not help but attract the attention of local residents.
Although there were yamen runners accompanying them, they didn't dare to talk to them. They could only follow them secretly from behind, trying to see where these people were going.
Finally, when they found out that they were moving into the new city area, there was a loud uproar in the crowd.
