When Yang Jinwen and others returned to the village, they found that all the villagers had come out of the valley. They had been out for more than a year and had not even sent back a letter.
When my parents saw them, they almost beat them up. Fortunately, there were other villagers nearby. Now, they no longer live in the original shabby house, but have moved to
In the blue brick house where Old Man Yang and the others originally lived.
This place is quite spacious, but everything has been moved away. Even though they have been back for more than half a month, it is still empty.
There are not many shops that can open stores on the streets of the county. Except for blacksmith shops and grocery stores, they are only open for an hour now. Firstly, there are relatively few items, and sometimes the items are sold out within an hour of opening.
There is no grain to sell now, not even miscellaneous grains. Grocery stores usually sell some clay pots, salt, and even sugar.
"Father, Mom, I'm sorry for making you worry." Several people quickly knelt down and apologized quickly.
When they came back, they had taken off their armor and were still wearing the clothes they brought from home. They have all grown a lot taller in the past few years. Fortunately, when they first entered the valley, Ms. Lu Qingshang had more free time.
I made several sets of clothes for each of them, so that if I get busy later and don't have time to make them, I can use them first.
When they left, they didn't know how long they would be gone, so I put the clothes and bedding that were originally at home for them into the eldest daughter's space.
"Everyone, get up. Let me go to the ancestral hall first and tell everyone what is going on outside now. If you are not here, the only place we can run to is the county town, but there is not much news in the county town.
, there are even fewer shops open, and there is no news at all.
We only started tentatively coming out of the valley half a month ago, and now everyone is still a little nervous, not knowing when they will come to arrest people or grab food." Yang Zhengsong knew that his wife wanted to deal with them, but this was all a matter of course.
You're such a big man, if this gets cleaned up... it won't look good.
"Dad, everyone can move out of the ravine with peace of mind. King Yu has been escorted back to Beijing. His army is now officially taken over by us. However, those were captured by some villagers and are not a regular team at all.
?It was useless for us to ask for it, so we were all sent home. There were not many things left in Prince Yu’s palace. After King Yu’s defeat, the remaining people there robbed all the things and ran away.
There was only an empty house left, and there were large pieces of furniture that couldn't be moved.
When we came back, we had already sent someone to look after the house. We'll go over and have a look after two days." Of course Yang Jinwen knew that his father was helping them out. He had known his mother for decades, so how could he not know about his mother?
What is its nature?
If they couldn't protect the whole village, they would be beaten as soon as they left. If they didn't run away, they would be fools. Of course, she couldn't save the third sister. She couldn't enter the ancestral hall, so she had to stay at home and get beaten.
Sure enough, as soon as they left, Yang Yuling was carried by her rear legs into the house by her ears.
The only guy who could plead for mercy was covering his mouth and laughing next to him!
"Oh, mom, what are you doing? It hurts, it hurts, please, please, I'm old enough to get married, can you please stop twisting your ears?" Yang Yuling followed my mother's footsteps and walked over there.
Howling.
"You also know that you are about to get married. Let's take a look at what you stinky kids are doing. Didn't you say you would be back after half a month? Look, you have been away for almost two years, right? Why?
Why don't you think about how worried we are at home?" Ms. Lu Qingshang was actually not too angry, but more worried.
Now this kind of transportation takes more than half a month to go back and forth, and I am so worried that I can't even eat or sleep for several months.
If she hadn't had her little daughter by her side, she would have been afraid that she would suffer from depression.
"Mother! There is nothing we can do. That King of Chu is not a good person. We have all been tricked by him, mother! Look at me following my second brother around the military camp, bandaging my wounds. My hands are thick from the bandage.
The military camp is full of grown men. Fortunately, there is still a second brother. I don’t dare to go to his place, so I always follow the second brother. I also share a tent with the second brother at night. Otherwise, I don’t know where to sleep?
You don’t know that the environment in the military camp here is really bad. The autumn harvest has begun, but those people are all wearing single clothes. At most, they can add a piece of armor. But that thing is extremely heavy. If you don’t have the strength to wear it,
I can't even walk with those clothes on.
Mom, we've finished eating our meat a long time ago. Can you cook us some meat for lunch? I'm almost dying of hunger. Baby Qingqing, is there any more meat? Please, please, beef or mutton will do." Yang Yuling couldn't help it.
, can only be miserable, what I hate to see the most is her pitiful appearance.
"Really, is it really that miserable? Don't fool me here?" Although Lu Qingshang knew that the environment here was bad, was it really as bad as her daughter said?
"Really, you don't know. I took a lot of meat with me at the beginning, but when I got to the military camp, there were so many people that there was no way to take it out to eat. I could only eat the bones stored in my space.
, I take it out from time to time to make bone soup for the kitchen, even if it only has a little meaty taste, they feel satisfied." Yang Yuling was having a hard time with her mother here, and Yang Jinwen and the others were taken to the ancestral hall by their father.
At this time, the ancestral hall was already crowded with people. All the people standing inside the door were men, and all the people standing outside were women and children of the family. The patriarch was sitting on the threshold waiting for them.
"Grandpa Patriarch, uncles, aunts and sisters-in-law, we are back. The situation outside has calmed down. You can move out. You don't have to worry about anyone coming to rob food or rob people. King Yu has been killed by King Chu. Not now.
The emperor has ascended the throne and escorted him back to the capital.
Now our place is no longer the fiefdom of King Yu. The emperor has also exempted taxes for three years. Those who fled and should have come back have also come back. Now is the most difficult time. If you have extra food at home, you can use it.
I'm going to sell it, but I still have to think carefully. The land outside will definitely not be able to grow anything in the first year, so I have to leave some food to eat until the harvest." Yang Jinwen did not say that they already had official positions, only that they were on the way.
I couldn't get back in time because I got caught up in something.
When everyone in the village was almost gone, they followed the village chief and clan leader into the house, followed by several clan elders.
Yang Jinwen and others reorganized what they just said and told the clan leader and elders about their current appointment.
The clan leader was both happy and gratified. He never thought that these children would secretly do such a big thing after running away for so long.
