Tomorrow

Chapter 25 Poor Feng Ying...

When Yun Zhao was still immersed in her own fantasy of a better future, Feng Ying didn't have any shadow of Yun Zhao in her life.

Even if there is, it is just a short and fat child trying to pretend to be an adult.

This is very funny.

When the people's food was scarce again, she didn't think of the fat man, but put on the back basket and went up the mountain with the no longer round maid.

When life in Kuizhou was basically not going well, even without the scourge of thieves, the barren land would not allow more than one hundred people of the whole clan to get enough food.

There are basically three things to get food here: plant a little bit in the ground, a little bit from the water, and a little bit from the mountain... (this was summed up by the local secretary-general when I went to Fengjie for an interview).

In barren areas, even the food does not grow well, so naturally there will not be too many gifts. Among them, the special leaves of the Three Gorges are the most famous. After the leaves are made into tea, the biggest feature is to clean the stomach and scrape oil!

The greedy maid, Xiao Chu, vomited the leaves of the tree stuffed into her mouth. She didn't want to collect the leaves of wild trees that could be used for tea. After soaking this thing in water, she would only get hungry.

"Miss, what do we do with these tree leaves, and we can't sell them."

For Xiao Chu, anything that can't be eaten or drunk is useless waste.

Feng Ying straightened her waist, carefully took off the clothes that were hung from the thorns, and looked at the turbulent Yangtze River under her feet: "Don't worry, someone will buy it."

"The ancestors just ran away from Zhang Bingzhong, consuming all the food in the stockade, and there is no money to collect our goods.

Miss, let's go through the locks and sell these goods to that fat man. He is so fat that he will love these tea leaves. "

Feng Ying smiled and said, "I'm talking about him!"

Xiao Chu immediately got up happily after hearing the words, holding Feng Ying's waist and rubbing her face against the young lady's back. At this moment, she felt that the young lady was the most wise person in the world.

"But, we have no travel expenses!"

"Go to Feilang to get it. I heard that they have done a few big deals recently."

"Okay, okay, miss, this time you can't relent, they are thieves, and we rob them to act for the sky.

Besides, it's good for us to allow them to stay in this valley. "

Feng Ying looked at Xiao Chu and nodded with a smile: "Okay, this time I don't feel relieved."

Once they had a goal, the two quickly picked up the tea tree that still had new sprouts in the winter, and then went to the Feilang Village below the cliff.

Feilang Village is actually the home of a colony of water pirates. These people used to be coolies who pulled fibers on the Three Gorges. They disliked the slowness of money and turned into water pirates.

Relying on his excellent water skills, specializing in looting ships that are out of order.

Two peasant girls approached the village, and the gate of the village was closed. When Feng Ying and Xiao Chu approached the gate of the village, the gate of the village was opened with a small slit, and one of the heads was wrapped with a thick circle of white cloth. The thin and weak man squeezed out from the crack of the door, and said to Feng Yingshi: "Why is the eldest lady free to come to my cottage?"

Feng Ying smiled and replied politely: "The little girl is going to take a trip to Guanzhong to send a batch of goods to my brother. The goods are already ready but there is no entanglement. I think that Feilang Village has recently become ample, so I will come over to pick up some."

When the thin man heard the words, a small face that had already been smoked suddenly turned into a dried orange.

When I was about to say that there was already a shortage of food and grass in the stockade, I saw Xiao Chu excitedly looking down from the bamboo poles to take the bacon they were drying outside, so he didn't care about talking to Feng Ying, and would stop him when he ran over.

After running for two steps, I saw Xiao Chu holding a large hand gun facing him, so he had to stop and watched Xiao Chu put all the bacon into the basket, his expression was extremely desperate. .

"Where's the rice?"

After dressing up the bacon and salted fish, Xiao Chu didn't find Mi, so he came to the man and kicked the man's leg heavily, causing him to kneel down and ask viciously.

"Where's the rice these years!"

"Are you stealing our sweet potatoes?"

"Grandpa, since you came, only you have taken our things. When did we take yours."

Seeing that the lady was looking at the batik cloth drying on the bamboo poles, Xiao Chu walked over to put it away and folded it into the back basket, and then kicked the guy again and said, "This time, the lady is here. If you don’t show your face, we After you go back, let Uncle Peng and the others come and try the people here again!"

Thinking of the appearance of one-armed Peng Shou, the thin man couldn't help but shiver.

It was this one-armed man who swept through all the cottages on the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River with more than two hundred white-armed men. The cottages he destroyed were no less than 20, and they were murderous.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is Qin Liangyu’s military funding for sending troops. Such things happen every few years. The big and small thieves in Sichuan understand it. Therefore, as long as the white army squad is dispatched, many cottages will be closed, or Starry night flees.

It's just that they didn't expect that two years ago, they would actually find the heads of the Kuizhou heroes and leave a team of men and horses to stick to the Three Gorges.

Shizhu Ma is an official body. Although Kuizhou is not under the jurisdiction of Shizhu Chieftain, local officials have always turned a blind eye to Shizhu Chieftain's behavior of strangling thieves through the border.

When Zhang Bingzhong entered Shuzhong, Feilang Village was very helpful. Now Zhang Bingzhong ran to Hubei again. The pirates in Feilang Village did not have the courage to follow along. Therefore, Feng Ying and his team were always there. blackmail.

That little girl is right. It’s good to say that Miss Feng Ying is here. She is generally not too much. If it is Peng Shou’s murder demon, it would be very difficult for Feilang Village to have a hundred people wanting to live. , The lean water pirate Han Jin gritted his teeth and took out an ingot of silver from his arms and offered it with both hands.

"Only three taels of silver?"

Xiao Chu got angry immediately when he got the money.

Feng Ying stopped the furious Xiao Chu and said to Han Jin: "I see that the batik cloth produced in your stockade is good. Can you make a batch of goods? I will bring it to Guanzhong for trading. If the price is good, you won't have to live on the water in the future. Everyone can live by making batik together."

Han Jin accompanied a smiling face and said, "Miss, this is all the work done by the mothers in the stockade when they are free. Can they really be in the eyes of the lady?"

Feng Ying sighed and said: "We don't have such craftsmanship in Kuizhou. You are not afraid of retribution if you rob people from Yunnan women from the boat."

Han Jin hurriedly said: "Miss, then you are wronging us. There are no women on the boat crossing the gorge. Many merchants who are too troublesome just throw the bought women at the ferry, or sell them at a low price, in our stockade. All the women come from this way.

Not to mention, most of them are from Yunnan, and I don't know what's going on. "

Feng Ying sighed after hearing the words: "It's not the evil that was made during the Chongming rebellion. The men are dead. These women can't make a living, so they have to leave their homeland. It is certain that people will leave their homeland.

Han Jin, tell the other cottages that if they can trust me, they will organize a batch of goods and give it to me. I will take it to Guanzhong to trade and prepare some grey fabrics for you on the return trip. Okay, this business can continue.

After the Zhang Bingzhong riots in Kuizhou, we are no longer as good for a livelihood. "

Han Jin said: "The small words of the eldest lady are naturally trustworthy. To tell the eldest lady, the business on the water is getting harder and harder. I can't see a boat for ten and a half months. Sometimes the boats come, but they are in groups. The team's bad start.

If those women who eat white rice can make wax cloth, they will eat more in the cottage, so they will prepare for the small ones. "

"Tell those **** by the way, the lady can't help in vain, and she must be entangled in anyway."

Xiao Chu was beating the drum, and Han Jin repeatedly agreed, not daring to defy.

When he returned home, Xiao Chu returned with a full load. Not only did he have meat, fish, and a small bag of white rice, all of which were given by Han Jin.

She can't wait to go home and start cooking in one step.

"Miss, that fat guy is rich now!"

Xiao Chu is obsessed with Yun's notes.

"Don't be a fat man or a fat man. Brother Yun Shi is a capable person. I heard from Uncle Peng that the Yun family has already begun to dominate in Guanzhong.

In the past, I didn't look down on these things, thinking that I would take my tribe to find a clearing in the mountains, and then I could live by farming and weaving. I also chose places like Kuizhou that are far away from the emperor.

At that time, Brother Yun Shi said that Kuizhou was not a good choice. At that time, he thought he wanted to annex us. Now it seems that Brother Yun Shi’s words are right. Kuizhou is the gateway to the middle of Shu. As long as there is a hero coveting the middle of Shu, We can't settle in Kuizhou.

In the past two years, our stockade moved three times in a row, as evidenced by the fact that we lose once every time we move. By now we are almost exhausted.

Going to Guanzhong this time is my last effort to see if this place is saved! "

"Why is it not saved, Miss is so smart, we still grow corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes, where can we not live?"

Xiao Chu was very dissatisfied with the young lady's self-conceited words.

Feng Ying squeezed Xiao Chu's face and said, "If you don't succeed, you will be married to the Yun family in exchange for food."

Xiao Chu chuckled and said, "If the lady marries that fat man, wouldn't all of us have meat to eat?"

What Xiao Chu said explicitly ~www.wuxiahere.com~ Feng Ying didn't seem to be twitchy, and said softly: "If I don't marry the Ma family, I can only marry the Yun family. There are only two roads, and there is no other choice.

Xiao Chu, you seem to be more optimistic about the Yun family, isn't it? "

Xiao Chu hesitated for a moment, and finally whispered: "Yun's sliver meat is delicious!"

Feng Ying gave a wry smile, looked up at the gray sky over the Three Gorges and whispered: "Poor Feng Ying..."

Xiao Chu shook his head and said, "It's not wrong to marry a man, marry a man, dress and eat."

Feng Ying said: "You don't understand, I want to live faster, and I don't want to sell myself to someone just to eat."

Xiao Chu said, "We are all dragged down, Miss."

Feng Ying didn't reply, but took the longbow off her back like lightning, and shot the arrow in one go. With the sound of the bow, a rock rabbit rolled down from the cliff.
