Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

Because the crops are planted late, they are reduced to half after the frost.

The military camp expanded from the village chief's house has been almost completed.

Although it is a military camp, it is built with earth bricks and wood.

To put it simply, it is a long row of earthen houses with many beds inside. That's what it looks like.

This is the condition in the village.

Wang Zeren had no choice.

At this time, in the main hall of Wang Zeren's tent, he was sitting on a chair, still playing with the jade in his hand, while Ermazi, Luo Sanyuan and Xiaoman were sitting on the side.

"Commander Wang, I'm afraid this year's harvest won't be enough to hand over." Er Mazi said with a little concern.

Luo Sanyuan also looked dissatisfied: "That's what I mean, Brother Wang. That old man in the county has no skills at all but only knows how to urge us to hand in the grain. He has no idea what the situation is now."

Wang Zeren had no expression on his face, and he didn't seem to be panicked by this matter at all: "We have to hand it in, otherwise even if we go back in the future, it will be difficult for the Ministry of War to let us get promoted."

"Commander Wang, what are you saying? How dare they not let you go up?" Er Mazi complimented with a smile.

Lifting his legs, Wang Zeren leaned back in his chair: "Xiao Man, what do you think we should do?"

Xiaoman stood up. He certainly knew that people like Wang Zeren cared about power. Ermazi and Luo Sanyuan spoke to him casually because they came from the same place.

Since he was just a small county resident, he was naturally more respectful: "The state requires us to pay grain in the first month of the year, but with our current production, we definitely can't pay that much."

The state has regulations on the minimum amount to be paid. If you exceed the amount, you will have to pay 91%. If you do not exceed the amount, you must at least pay the amount they stipulate.

"The only feasible way now is to go into the mountains and look for wild food, but the edible things around have been almost all taken up by the refugees. If we want to continue looking for food, we have to go deeper into the mountains."

Wang Zeren nodded, then looked at Ermazi: "Tell Xiaoman what you know."

Er Mazi nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, hehe.

Xiaoman, we learned from local villagers that when the refugees and bandits first entered the village, more than a dozen people took food and walked deep into the back mountain.

If they have managed to survive until now, they must have food on them. As long as we find them, we can take some food from them in advance and deal with them.

Then we can return it to them, and this will solve the current problem well."

Xiaoman nodded seriously. He had heard about this matter before, but he didn't expect that Wang Zeren had investigated it a little too early. Now that Ermaizi could say such things, there must be some clues.

Although we can't find Xu Wenyan and the others directly, we at least have a general direction.

"Well, I am ignorant."

"You and Luo Sanyuan are responsible for investigating this matter. Pick three more people. It's too late today. Go early tomorrow morning."

After receiving Wang Zeren's order, several people turned around and went out.

Luo Sanlin hugged Xiaoman and said, "Brother, tomorrow I will let you see how powerful the second best hunter in Yunnan is."

"Who is the first one then?"

"Brother Wang."

The two talked as they walked all the way to Xiaoman's residence.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Zhou Rong had prepared dinner and was standing waiting for Xiaoman to come back. The two lived together for several months.

Xiaoman often went out and came back very late. In addition, she left early, so the two of them hardly talked to each other.

Most of the food Zhou Rong cooked was what Xiaoman got from Wang Zeren, and a small amount was what she found outside.

Since Wang Zeren and his team came, Jixiang Village has returned to its previous state. At least incidents of rape and extortion rarely occur in the village.

"Xiaoman, why do you still keep this woman?" Luo Sanyuan sat down, picked up the coarse grain and wild vegetable porridge in front of him and started drinking.

He lives with a few men. Not only is his home a mess, but his cooking is also hard to describe, but it's edible anyway.

Of course, it’s a good thing that the guys don’t mind.

Xiaoman sat down opposite him, and Zhou Rong tactfully added another bowl of soup to Xiaoman's bowl.

When you live under someone else's roof, you have to be diligent and prove your worth in order to continue to be protected.

"She's a woman, and she has nowhere to go if she's thrown out."

Luo Sanyuan looked at Zhou Rong. Now she had washed her face, her clothes were stain-free, and she was the youngest woman in the village.

The Zhou family’s genes are not bad. Not to mention Chen Sanlin’s mother, even Zhou Jianye is handsome.

Looking at the woman with her head lowered in front of him, Luo Sanyuan was a little dazed. Zhou Rong also raised her head at this time. The two looked at each other, and Zhou Rong immediately lowered her head again.

Luo Sanyuan's ears turned slightly red, and he drank up the porridge in the bowl in a few mouthfuls: "Well, let's go together tomorrow. Who do you want to go with us?"

"Xiao Liu and the two brothers from the Han family, Xiao Liu is familiar with you, and the two brothers from the Han family are honest and capable."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." After saying that, Luo Sanyuan stood up and glanced at Zhou Rong again: "Well, you should get up early tomorrow. I'll bring them to see you."

Xiaoman looked at him, then looked at Zhou Rong, then turned back and smiled: "Okay."

After Luo Sanyuan left, Xiaoman asked Zhou Rong to sit down: "You know who are among those people who went to the back mountain in the village, right?"

Zhou Rong nodded. After spending the past two months with Xiaoman, she knew that he was a gentleman, spoke modestly, and was a very nice person.

"My parents and my cousin's family should be there. Although I didn't see my cousin at the time, several of his children were with my second uncle and his wife. I don't know about the others."

Xiaoman tapped the table lightly with his fingers. He knew the specific situation. Including Xu Wenyan and Chen Sanlin, there were more than a dozen people. If he was in the mountains, there might really be a lot of food.

"Well, I see."

Zhou Rong looked at Xiaoman who was still thinking seriously. After thinking it over for a while, she mustered up the courage to say, "Well, can I ask you for a favor?"

"Well, you say." Xiaoman came back to his senses and drank up the remaining porridge in the bowl.

"If you really see them, can you tell my second aunt that I'm in the village? I, I miss them very much." Zhou Rong's tears flowed as she spoke. Compared to her own parents, her second uncle's family treated her better.

Xiaoman nodded: "Well, what's your second aunt's name?"

"Her name is Wang Cuijuan. She has a pair of phoenix eyes and is very pretty."

It shouldn't be difficult to find someone among a dozen people. Xiaoman also felt that it wouldn't be good for her, a woman, to stay alone with him all the time.

Besides, judging from Luo Sanyuan's expression just now, maybe that guy is interested in Zhou Rong.

When the time comes, I will find a chance to ask Luo Sanyuan, maybe I can find him a wife.

It wouldn't be the case that he would be naughty and disgust himself every day.

He got tired of the women in the village after playing with them once, but it wasn't his problem.

When he saw a woman again after three months, he was really not picky. He regretted it afterwards and said he would not do it with Xiaoman.

Xiaoman spends every day listening to his chattering.

I'm really afraid that he will be hungry and thirsty one day.

No matter how you look at it, Xiaoman is a very handsome guy.
