After more than ten days of peaceful life, nothing happened outside. The mulberry-picking girls always went out to pick mulberries, and the half-year-old children always went up the mountain to chop firewood. Many families even went to take care of the terraced fields on the mountainside.
Just when Yun Zheng thought that there was something wrong with his judgment, the old patriarch's face became more and more serious.
After he came back from Douchuan Pass, his face turned livid: "The riots were inevitable. The city walls were covered with human heads, most of which belonged to Bo people, and a small number of those who fled from the mountains. The county magistrate went crazy. At this time
They are still searching for fugitives vigorously. This is adding fuel to the fire. I heard that more than a dozen of the policemen have died. I bought food today and no one is willing to sell it no matter what the price is. The blacksmith shop
The iron knives have been sold for a sky-high price. From today on, the village will be completely closed. Look at it Xanthium. No one is allowed to go out of the village. Now is the time when silkworms grow up. You can pick mulberries in the village.
Leaves, girls are no longer allowed to go to the mulberry forest by the river to collect leaves."
Yun Zheng stood on the platform of the bamboo building and looked at the path on the mountainside from a distance. In the past, there was an endless stream of pedestrians, but today he saw none of them. The empty mountain was silent, with only yellow birds flying across the mountains.
Chinese history has a strict definition of peasant rebellion and uprising, and one of the most important conditions is the killing of officials! Killing officials means dissatisfaction with the actual system and a determination to overthrow the existing dynasty.
Therefore, Yun Zheng judged the difference between this riot and rebellion by seeing whether Magistrate Lin would be beheaded. With the public excitement, it would be strange for the old and weak people in Dousha Pass to be able to hold the pass. What's more,
The soldiers and generals of the Song Dynasty had always had a good habit of dispersing in a hurry, so in Yun Zheng's subconscious, the story of Magistrate Lin came to an end early.
"Here it comes!" The old patriarch squinted his eyes and looked at the top of the mountain. Countless crows and birds were flying into the sky. The sun had already set. If the birds were not harassed, they would never fly again. The dark mountain road appeared.
A torch, and then a long string of torches appeared. Finally, these torches turned into a fire dragon. I don't know how many people were in the forest. This fire dragon climbed from the distant mountains to the foot of ** Mountain.
The old patriarch took a long breath and said: "God bless them, they went to Douchuan and did not come to the village. Grandpa Tian, how many people are there? Gouzi, go and report to Xanthium and the others quickly."
News, we want them to come back as soon as possible. Let’s go to Xianren Cave with the whole village. We don’t want the village anymore, we can’t take care of it. If these people conquer Dousha Pass, their next target will be Tiemu Town, and our Dousha Town might also be implicated.
, save your life first and then talk about other things.
Taking advantage of the last glimmer of light, Yun Zheng carried Yun Er on his back to the Immortal Cave. Bacon followed behind with a large package on his back. Yun San followed closely at Yun Da's feet. The only one in the family was the snake.
Unwilling to leave, hanging on the pillar and unwilling to come down.
Yun Zheng looked meaningfully at the fire dragon squirming and circling on the mountainside and said to Yun Er on his back: "Even if you kill me, I won't believe that no one is behind this riot."
"Who is it? Master Xiao or Liu Dutou?" Yun Er asked Yun Da curiously.
"What do you think?" Yun Zheng looked back at his brother and continued climbing the hillside.
"That's Master Xiao. Liu Dutou is stupid. He doesn't have this ability. Besides, he's not old enough. The old cunning man is referring to Old Man Xiao, right? Yun Da, don't you hate Xiao Wugen very much? This time he is
If you win, that little beauty Lan Lan won’t have your share. Do you feel a little sour?"
Yun Er put his mouth close to Yun Da's ear and whispered.
"It seems that I will strengthen your moral education in the future. How can a good child become such a gossip? Do you think all the beauties in the world must marry me? You think too highly of your elder brother."
Yun Er laughed heartily, clapped his little hands and said, "The women of the Song Dynasty are dull and stupid. They are probably very easy to pick up. I can't wait to grow up. If you don't want them, they will all be mine in the future."
They were about to go uphill. Yun Da slapped Yun Er on the buttocks. He climbed up a three-foot-high stone cliff with difficulty, carrying the groaning Yun Er on his back. After climbing the stone cliff, he discovered this place.
It is indeed a good place where one man is in charge and no one can open it. If you want to keep the young and strong man here, even if the army wants to conquer it, it will be very difficult. The refugee riots are really nothing.
No wonder the old patriarch treats the refugees all over the mountains and plains so calmly.
The sky has finally turned completely dark. The Fairy Cave has long been filled with torches, lighting up the place like daylight. There are busy people coming in and out. All kinds of things brought back from the mountains will gather in the Fairy Cave.
.
The Yun family's silkworms and two pigs were also transported here with the help of the men in the village. The old ox became a public animal in the village, dragging the ox cart back and forth between the village and the foot of the mountain.
There were originally many shacks in the Immortal Cave. The lame man and the mute have added many more shacks here in the past ten days. They are enough for the entire village to live here, but they also include cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, and silkworms.
After it was brought in, the place seemed a little cramped. People were not the first priority. The first priority was silkworm baskets. The best place was filled with baskets layer by layer, and the baskets were filled with mulberry leaves and bacon.
The reared silkworms have long lost their former black appearance. Now they have turned into fat white worms as thick as chopsticks.
"It's not done yet. The silkworm's body is not shiny yet, and it will take some time to spin silk. When it stops eating mulberry leaves, we will put the cooked silkworms on the cluster so that it can spin silk. This year
Our silkworms grow very well, and we can harvest ten bundles of silk without any problem."
She became extremely confident when talking about these bacon, which was already her own area of knowledge.
"When the time comes, I'll give you a big cocoon, fry it in oil, or bake it on tiles. It'll be delicious."
Bacon hugged Yun Er and sat on the baggage. He watched the cripple put his silkworm bamboo basket on the shelf and said proudly to Yun Er.
Yun Er groaned for a long time before asking Bancou in a low voice: "Didn't you go see your mother? Are they okay?"
"It's okay, my mother got married, and she sold my brother..." Her voice became softer when she talked about these bacon.
Yun Er was stunned for a moment, and then he started laughing, laughing very crazily. When he saw Yun Da looking at him coldly, he closed his mouth in grievance and just shed tears. His mother also treated him in the same way.
Yun Er cried, hugging Bacon's neck tightly and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I will never do this to you in the future. Yunda and I will never abandon you, neither of us will abandon you."
