Chapter 17 Chapter 17 It's not easy to be reborn again
Years of martial arts training are not in vain. Although Shen Moer's appearance has changed after coming to this world, and she looks pale and thin, her actual body is still her own body, and her strength has not decreased at all.
She kicked out and kicked the man directly to the ground.
In the silent night, the man screamed in pain, but he reacted quickly, almost immediately got up and ran away.
Shen Moer chased for a while, and the man was obviously very familiar with the terrain. He jumped around in the fields and soon jumped into the back mountain along the path. Seeing that she could not catch up, Shen Moer had to turn back.
She didn't see the man's appearance clearly, but only vaguely saw his back. He was a tall and thin man.
But these days, there are no fat people in the village, everyone is thin, just taller or shorter, it is impossible to catch the man based on this feature.
When he returned to the door of his house, Shen Shaoyuan, who heard the noise, had already come out. He did not dare to go far, so he stood at the door and waited. When he saw Shen Moer coming back, he looked her up and down for a few times, and he was relieved to confirm that his precious daughter was safe and sound, and said: "Don't chase the bandits, it's late at night, what if there are accomplices ambushing ahead?"
Her father only has her as a daughter, and he has been paying special attention to her safety since she was a child. Shen Moer felt warm in her heart. It was thanks to the fact that they, father and daughter, came to this world together. If it was only her or only her father, they would probably cry to death.
Actually, Shen Moer had reacted just now, but she quickly admitted her mistake: "I didn't react just now, I must pay attention next time. But we are afraid that at night..."
Shen Moer was about to say that she might not be able to sleep in the treasure house at night, her eyes glanced at the bushes beside her, lifted her foot and kicked a stone over: "Come out!"
The bushes rustled, and after a while a skinny teenager emerged. The boy stood awkwardly and stammered in explanation: "I, I heard a noise, so I came to take a look."
Shen Moer recognized that it was Lin Kaicheng who lived behind the brigade headquarters. Because his father was a landlord, he was chased by the naughty children in the village all day long, calling him a little landlord. The more excessive ones would even throw clods of earth at him.
The mother and son seldom go out except when they go to work. Although the two families live very close to each other, Shen Moer has been here for so many days, and she only saw the boy fetching water from the well from a distance one morning.
Shen Moer nodded: "A thief broke into my house, but he ran away. You should be more alert when you go home and lock the doors and windows."
Lin Kaicheng looked at her in surprise. He had been here a long time ago, so he naturally knew there was a thief. He even saw Shen Moer kick the thief away with one kick. However, before he left, Shen Shaoyuan came out. He was afraid that he would be mistaken for being in the same group with the thief, so he hid in the bushes and did not dare to come out.
Unexpectedly, Shen Moer not only did not misunderstand him, but also reminded him to lock the doors and windows. Lin
Kaicheng responded sullenly, turned around and ran away.
Shen Moer didn't dare to say anything more outside, she went straight into the house, locked the doors and windows, moved a chair behind the door, and then went back to the treasure house with Shen Shaoyuan.
Both of them lost their sleepiness, so they talked for a while across the screen.
Shen Moer mentioned again that they could no longer sleep in the treasure house.
If she hadn't gotten up by chance in the middle of the night and a thief had really broken in, and found that their house was empty and no one was sleeping at all, or if they didn't close the door of the treasure house and someone discovered the existence of the treasure house, then what awaited them would probably be endless troubles.
To be on the safe side, it would be better not to open the treasure house in the future.
Shen Shaoyuan has been busy lately and he didn't think the mat issue was that urgent, so he didn't go to find Luosaihu. After what happened tonight, he decided to go to Luosaihu tomorrow to buy another bamboo mat. Tomorrow night they will put away the mats in the treasure house and sleep outside.
Also, they had originally planned to build a wall outside when they built the new house, and now it seems that the wall will have to be built a little higher than expected.
The father and daughter discussed it in a casual manner, and soon, Shen Shaoyuan fell silent.
Shen Moer listened attentively for a while, and sure enough, she heard her father's breathing become slow and long, and he had fallen asleep.
That's right. Her father had lived a life of luxury and servants since he was born. How could he have walked back and forth for more than ten miles every day and worked in the dark?
Shen Moer curled her lips, thinking about what good things she should get for her father to replenish his body. She fell asleep soon after thinking about it.
When she woke up the next day, she found that it had rained in the second half of the night. The ground was wet and the sky was still a little gray.
After Shen Shaoyuan went to the commune, Shen Moer went to Zhou Mancang's house and told him what happened last night.
Zhou Mancang was very shocked and very angry. Not long ago, there was an incident of stealing soap at the educated youth point, and now someone broke into Shen Laoqi's house in the middle of the night. It was obvious that he had heard that his family had received 300 yuan and was thinking about it... If this continued, what would the atmosphere of their Yangliu Brigade be like!
Because he was busy going to work, Zhou Mancang asked Shen Moer to go back first, saying that the brigade would discuss it later and organize a meeting of all members to tighten everyone's skin. Of course, they would also organize militia teams to strengthen night patrols and resolutely not give lazy thieves a chance to take advantage of them.
Hearing him say this, Shen Moer felt a little relieved. Even though she was good at boxing, she didn't want to be on guard against thieves all day long, right?
After leaving Zhou Mancang's house, Shen Moer stopped by to take a look at her private plot. With the enthusiastic help of Aunt Chen and the others, the vegetables in her private plot have grown up, green and lush, and growing vigorously. However, it was hot and there were many insects, and small insect holes had appeared on the leaves of the vegetables.
Aunt Chen and the others said that they could just get some 66 powder to treat the insects, but Shen Moer heard that this thing was poisonous and dared not use it, so she politely refused at the time.
But she couldn't just leave it alone, otherwise the vegetables would be eaten by insects, so she had to find a way to exchange vegetables with others.
Shen Moer frowned as she walked home. When she was almost at the door, she looked up and saw a person standing in front of her house. He was tall and had long legs, a straight back, and beautiful eyebrows and eyes, just like a painting. Who else could it be but Fu Mingze?
As soon as she saw the person, Shen Moer couldn't help but smile: "Fu Zhiqing."
Fu Mingze also smiled: "Comrade Shen Moer."
He handed over the paper in his hand and said: "The drawing is ready, please see if it can be used."
He was loyal to the person who entrusted him, not to mention that he got two eggs from him. During this time, Fu Mingze also went to the commune on purpose and asked Qiaojie and others to help him inquire. He also carefully considered some vague details, striving to make every link perfect.
"Excuse me, Fu Zhiqing." Shen Moer took the blueprint with a smile and found that although it was only a small space in the room of a few feet, there were several blueprints, and they were drawn in great detail. "Are there three plans?"
Fu Mingze nodded and explained, "There is no running water in the village, so flushing and drainage is a problem. Your house is close to the well, so you can install a water pump and connect some pipes, and it will be almost like running water. However, this solution is expensive and not very practical. It is better to fetch water yourself. It is a little troublesome, but it saves money."
"There is also the problem of drainage pipes. Currently, cast iron pipes are commonly used in cities, and the price is not low. Another way is to lay them with bricks and then seal them with cement."
After hesitating for two seconds, Fu Mingze said, "No matter which solution you choose, the cost may be higher than you think."
Shen Moer also heard it. Not to mention whether the cost is high or not, first of all, the water pump, cast iron pipes and cement, it is estimated that even if you have money, you can't buy them.
The plan certainly cannot be finalized in one go, and it will have to be carefully considered later. However, it is obvious that people have spent a lot of time and effort on this matter. Shen Moer thanked them repeatedly, and was thinking about what to give in return when she suddenly heard someone calling her: "Moer, hurry up, go up the mountain to pick mushrooms!"
It turned out to be Aunt Chen and the others, a group of old ladies, followed by a few half-grown children. Everyone carried a basket on their back and held a basket in their hand, looking like they were going into the mountains to do something big.
Without waiting for Shen Moer to respond, Aunt Chen, who had walked over, saw Fu Mingze and greeted him familiarly: "Fu Zhiqing is here too, come on, borrow a basket from Moer and go up the mountain with us!" "
?"
A trace of confusion appeared on Fu Mingze's handsome face. Before he could refuse, the other aunts had already persuaded him:
"Yes, yes, yes, go up the mountain with us. It just rained. Not to mention mushrooms, even wild vegetables and bamboo shoots are fresh and tender."
"That's right. You educated youth are not good at doing farm work. It's better for you to go up the mountain with us. It's so easy to pick mushrooms and dig wild vegetables. If you're lucky, you might even catch a rabbit!"
"Some people from your educated youth camp have also gone up the mountain, but you young educated youth are not as knowledgeable as us old sparrows. We know best where mushrooms grow and where wild vegetables grow well on the back mountain. If you follow us, I guarantee you will gain more than other educated youth!"
...
The aunts really tried their best to trick Fu Zhiqing into joining them. Shen Moer saw with her own eyes how popular Fu Zhiqing was. She went to get the bamboo basket and the basket with a smile. She carried the basket herself and handed it directly to Fu Mingze: "It is better to meet by chance than to be invited. It is better to obey than to be respectful. Let's go, Fu Zhiqing." "
..."
Fu Mingze didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he still took the basket.
The aunts were right. He had originally planned to go up the mountain after delivering the blueprints. Since they were all going up the mountain, maybe they would gain more if they went up the mountain with the locals.
A group of people marched towards the back of the mountain.
Several aunts had heard from Shen Moer that Fu Mingze had been invited to help with the house. Now, as they walked, they listened to Shen Moer introducing the plan that Fu Mingze had come up with, such as water pumps and cast iron pipes. They were stunned.
In fact, most of them didn't understand, but it didn't affect their feeling that Fu Mingze was amazing. They praised Fu Mingze without any expense. Fu Mingze, who thought highly of himself, was praised so much that his ears turned red.
Fortunately, it wasn't long before they entered the mountains, and the old ladies' attention was quickly diverted.
"Let's go to Songshu Bay. There are guaranteed to be a lot of mushrooms there."
"Okay, let's go to Songshu Bay first, then come back and go to the bamboo forest. We can get some mushrooms, wild vegetables, and bamboo shoots."
Several old sparrows from Dongting Lake quickly agreed to go to Songshu Bay, which is close to Songshu Brigade, first.
The old ladies walked briskly, leading the way, and the children followed closely behind them, shouting and running happily. Shen Moer and Fu Mingze looked at each other and quickened their pace.
Although Songshu Bay is closer to Songshu Brigade, the road from Songshu Brigade is difficult to walk. In addition, there are more mountains and forests on the other side of Songshu Brigade, and people are not keen on walking here, so more people from Yangliu Brigade walk in this area. Of course, the mountain road is winding, and if it weren't for the local "old sparrows", they wouldn't dare to walk so far.
But this area is indeed lush with vegetation and moist soil, which is very suitable for the growth of mushrooms.
After arriving at the place, the group of people quickly dispersed.
The others were either old people or children. Shen Moer and Fu Mingze chose to leave the flatter terrain to them and climbed up the steeper terrain. Then, they were getting farther and farther away from the main group without realizing it.
"What the hell? You finally got reborn once, you can't be unable to find a wild ginseng, right? Zhu Quezi found it nearby in his previous life, how come it's gone?"
A voice suddenly rang out.
Rebirth.
Previous life.
Shen Moer noticed these two words quickly, and subconsciously slowed down her movements, quietly hiding behind a rock.
As a result, when she looked up, she met Fu Mingze's dark and clear eyes.
"Shh!"
