During lunch, they watched the villagers' cheeks bulge as they ate the fragrant white rice. They were even more shocked when they saw that there was even meat in their dishes. Rice, how luxurious it is.
Food. Mountain people also grow food under the jurisdiction of other villages, but rice cannot be grown because it is restricted by rain and irrigation, and there is no good farmland. Even if they can grow some, the rice grown will be confiscated by the village.
, became the food of those people. They themselves could only eat food such as yam, taro, millet, millet, rice, etc. As for meat, forget about it. Unless you are lucky and catch game, it is impossible to have it.
Some people didn't believe that the people here lived such a life. They sneaked into other houses to see what they were eating. They thought it was a lie to deceive them. However, the scenes they saw made them finally understand that the people here lived a life like this.
This is the way to live. They can grow rice, raise pigs and sheep, so they have no worries about food and clothing.
When it came to visiting the fields, these people were even more shocked. They had never seen such a large area of paddy fields and flat dry fields and mountains. The soil in the fields was black and oily, and the soil was incredibly fertile. The ditches were straight and the waterways were
It is fully connected, so there is no need to worry about drought or floods. The dam in the north is majestic and tall. Fish are jumping in the dam. Dozens of people are fishing for fish and shrimp. The fish and shrimp jumping in the boat are huge.
"We will send these big white fish to the stronghold later for the military advisor and the stronghold master to eat," someone said.
"You have to put it down secretly and leave, otherwise the village master will definitely give you money, so what does that mean? Can you still ask for the village master's money?" someone replied.
The mountain people who visited were all dumbfounded. Is there such a cottage? They didn't come and take away all the fish and shrimp? Give them to them and give them money? It's simply unbelievable.
After this day's inspection, there was a huge response among the people who were forced to relocate. Soon they reached a consensus: they must stay here. This kind of good life is not allowed. Is it stupid? Just live.
After a few days, the people who were still complaining about being forced to come here changed their minds and decided to stay in this place where they had no worries about food, clothing, and freedom.
Therefore, they joined in the vigorous construction without even mobilization. According to the plan, the villages at the foot of Xifeng Mountain have begun to enclose walls, and along the Luoyan River in the middle of the Y-shaped valley, several tunnels were dug out in just two days.
The village chief. The common people and prisoners of war sang a song called "Luoyan River" and worked enthusiastically. They understood that if all this was completed one day earlier, the Pheasant Ridge Valley would be the same as the Luoyan Valley they visited.
Like the prosperous scene, it has become a paradise on earth.
Lin Jue, Gao Muqing Baibing and others traveled to every corner of Luoyan Valley and Pheasant Ridge Valley, and were deeply touched by the picturesque scenery and the enthusiasm of the people. They were also very proud in their hearts.
Luoyan Valley has finally returned to peace after many hardships. There may still be hardships here, but nothing can knock down the people here, and the future will definitely be better.
…
Counting the days, it has been nearly 20 days since Lin Jue returned to Luoyan Valley. These days are still thrilling and can be regarded as saving the village from danger. But the time has come to early April, even though things in the village are still complicated.
However, Lin Jue had to say goodbye to the village and leave.
The date agreed with Guo Caiwei is approaching, and there is still a long way to go to Hangzhou, so we can no longer delay it. Besides, I left the capital on the pretext of investigating the case, and I am still an official of the imperial court, so I cannot arouse any suspicion.
Gao Muqing knew that Lin Jue had to leave. Although he was full of sadness, he was open-minded. He had said the truth a thousand times and knew that separation was inevitable, but his mind could not be at peace.
At noon, the leaders of the village held a banquet in Juyi Hall to see off the military advisor. Although many people did not understand why the military advisor left the village and why he did not stay with his brothers. But the explanation given by Lin Jue was,
As long as the village needs it, he will definitely come back, and he will either leave or stay. These mysterious words make those who don't understand the true identity of the military advisor feel unfathomable, but they find it very reasonable.
The farewell banquet was not sentimental at all, and everyone was fist-fighting, drinking, and making a lot of noise. Liang Qi, Lu Yi, and others drank a lot of wine from Lin Jue. The two guys knew that the military advisor had a good drinker, so they did not dare to confront the military advisor head-on, and they made a lot of mistakes.
.
At the banquet, everyone talked about the "Swarm of Bees" rocket launcher firearm. The power of that thing was so amazing that Liang Qi and others were thinking about whether they could make more of them. With the "Swarm of Bees" rocket launcher in hand, the officers and soldiers came in.
, they were not afraid at all. But Lin Jue said something that shocked them.
"I have ordered everyone to burn the swarm of rocket launchers to ashes, because the village does not have the ability to use this thing for the time being. The swarm of bee rockets are too expensive, and one rocket can be fired in just a few breaths, which consumes dozens of iron arrows and a lot of gunpowder.
Within a few breaths, several hundred taels of silver were gone. Do you know how much the two boxes of gunpowder I brought were worth? Two thousand iron arrows and the gunpowder are worth at least three to forty thousand taels of silver. Who can afford it?
And in my opinion, the lethality is actually mediocre. I burned those empty rocket tubes because I didn’t want you to invest money and materials in this thing. What we need now is more practical equipment and weapons, not luxury goods.
Besides, that thing cannot be spread to others to know the manufacturing principle, otherwise it will be very harmful. So I burned it."
Everyone was stunned and speechless. The strange thing was that they never saw the swarm of rocket launchers after they were carried back to the stronghold. They thought they were the treasures of the military counselor and ordered people to hide them. But it turned out that they were burned. The military counselor was right, since they were burned like this.
Keeping money will make people want to equip it with iron arrows and gunpowder. But then, the already poor Dingdang Shengzhai will become even poorer.
The banquet continued, and when Lin Jue, Liang Qi, and others were drinking wine, someone suddenly said: "Hey, where is the leader of the village? Why did he suddenly disappear?"
Everyone was busy looking around, and sure enough they found that Gao Muqing's seat was empty. Lin Jue did see Gao Muqing get up and leave, but he thought that Gao Muqing had gone to the convenience store, so he didn't care. But after so long, Gao Muqing was still there.
It's a bit strange that he didn't come back.
Soon someone discovered that there was someone missing from the banquet, and that was Miss Bai who followed the military advisor into the mountains. At some point, she also disappeared.
Lin Jue and everyone else were a little suspicious, so they asked the soldiers guarding the entrance of Juyi Hall. Two soldiers said: "The leader of Dazhai and Miss Bai left the hall one after another and went to the rear of Dazhai."
Lin Jue was a little worried. He knew his own affairs well. Mu Qing and Bai Bing had been unhappy since they came to the mountain and liked to quarrel with each other. Now that they both disappeared, it was better not to cause any trouble. He decided to find the two of them and ask what happened.
Lin Jue, Liang Qi and others asked the soldiers in the village all the way. Under the guidance of the soldiers, they left the village gate and went straight to the woods behind the village. Behind the village was a dense forest, with a pear forest in the forest, and a path leading to it.
In this pear forest, everyone followed the path into the forest. After walking for a while, they saw a large forest of pear blossoms in full bloom under the spring sun in front of them, as white as snow.
As the saying goes, "The beauty of the world ends in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temples begin to bloom." The climate in the mountains is a little later than outside. The pear blossoms that originally bloomed in March only bloom in April in this high mountain forest. Now is the season in full bloom. The trees are full of pear blossoms.
Like a sea of fragrant snow, it is exquisite and beautiful under the sunlight.
Not long after everyone entered the pear forest, the sound of screaming and the clash of weapons could be heard in front of them. Lin Jue and others hurriedly followed the sound, but saw two people, one red and one white, among a small sea of flowers.
The shadows were fighting fiercely between the pear trees. The two people were moving quickly, and their figures were jumping between the flowers and trees. The surrounding flower branches were trembling and petals were falling. The ground was covered with a layer of petals, and the sky looked like a cloud.
A rain of petals.
"This..." Liang Qi and others looked at Lin Jue with bulging eyes, thinking in their hearts: There is a fire in the military advisor's backyard, and the village master and Miss Bai are fighting. Needless to say, they must be jealous and unwilling to give in to each other. Although the military advisor is unparalleled in resourcefulness,
But I'm afraid there's nothing we can do about it.
Lin Jue also rolled his eyes. He didn't expect that Gao Muqing and Bai Bing would sneak into the pear forest and fight. This was quite embarrassing. The women around him got along in harmony, but something seemed wrong with Bai Bing and Gao Muqing.
They looked down on each other when they met, and then they came here to fight. It really makes people don’t know what to do.
Qin Chuncao is a woman and fully understands women's thoughts. Seeing the situation in front of him, he asked Lin Jue in a low voice: "Commander, do you want to come forward and persuade me?"
Lin Jue waved his hand and said, "That's all, there's no need to persuade. Let's see which one of them is more powerful. Some things may only be solved by a fight."
Everyone rolled their eyes on the ground, but the military advisor did not stop them. Instead, they wanted to watch the excitement, not afraid of causing trouble. However, after the military advisor spoke, everyone had no choice but to stand aside and watch the battle with Lin Jue.
But in the sea of flowers, Gao Muqing and Bai Bing were fighting fiercely. It was obvious that the two sides were not just exchanging martial arts points, but were serious about every move, and it was definitely not a child's play.
Gao Muqing's martial arts are very complex. When he was on Guishan Island, the leader of Gao Lao village recruited many people from the martial arts world. Most of these people had taught Gao Muqing's martial arts. Therefore, Gao Muqing's martial arts were both advanced and complex, and the long sword in his hand suddenly showed exquisite moves.
There are endless attacks, and they suddenly fight with light body kung fu and fist and kick kung fu, which is dizzying. On the other hand, Bai Bing is the opposite example. Bai Bing has no other martial arts except the magic sound sect's martial arts. But because of this, he is even more
Showing purity. With the green flute in hand, the flute sounds pleasant to the ears when waving, and the moves are elegant and beautiful, as if dancing in the music.
Although the two of them were fighting mercilessly, it was not a fight of life and death after all, so their moves were more than cruel, but they did not dare to use their full strength, leaving room for their killing moves.
When the battle was at its peak, Gao Muqing's figure was walking through the flower branches. She was very skilled in lightness skills and could move through the flowers and trees without any hindrance. Her body flew up and down among the branches and leaves, causing countless flowers to rain all over the sky.
