Outside the shelter.

It was a bit difficult to clean up the bloody ground.

Wang Cuijuan and Wang Dongmei were cleaning the vegetable garden with a few little ones. These wild boars were really hateful. Several terraces were trampled into a mess by the wild boars.

Since we are trying to remedy the situation.

The wild boars in the yard were also piled together. The ones with arrows stuck in them were Xiaoman and his friends. There were more than a dozen wild boars piled outside the yard.

"Boom--!"

"Fuck, is this kind of person qualified to be a soldier?" Luo Sanyuan slammed the table and stood up angrily: "Instead of going to the battlefield to kill the enemy, he became the king of the village."

"Hey, sit down, sit down." Xiaoman quickly pulled him down: "No wonder you are so wary of us, I would be the same if I were you."

Zhou Jianye watched them talking, during which time he had already applied medicine to himself.

"Well, now tell me, what exactly are you here for? It can't be that the country cares about refugees and arranges for you to be laid off to support the countryside?"

Xiaoman was confused by Xu Wenyan's words, but he understood the general meaning: "Yes, and no, this relief point needs people to maintain it. We are responsible for the safety of the villagers, and the villagers are responsible for farming and delivering food to the soldiers on the front line.

After the war, farmers will be given land and their taxes will be reduced or exempted."

Xu Wenyan nodded: "It's just a big promise, equivalent to paying the grain tax in the past few years in one lump sum. As for the land, there are no specific terms."

"Ha...haha." Xu Wenyan's words were so blunt that Xiaoman didn't know how to respond.

"Forget it, just tell me what your Commander Wang wants you to do."

Xiaoman cleared her throat and said, "We just arrived at Jixiang Village. We can't pay the required amount for this year's harvest. We just want to get the grain from you and return it to you next year during the autumn harvest."

Xu Wenyan was confused: "Ah? Can this be calculated like this?"

If you borrow now, you have to wait until next autumn harvest to pay it back. It's been owed for half a year. "Is your commander Wang not mentally ill?"

"Hey! How do you talk like that?" Luo Sanyuan was unhappy at this time, and Xiaoman quickly grabbed him again.

"Okay, okay Sanyuan, this is indeed a big loss for them."

Xu Wenyan smiled, picked up the tea and started drinking: "How about this, we will exchange food with you."

"What to change?"

"Salt, without salt it's hard to store our food, and the liquor." Seeing what Xiaoman wanted to say, Xu Wenyan interrupted immediately and said, "Hey, don't worry, I know that although this salt is expensive in the market, it is actually the most profitable.

Whether it is salt fields or salt mines, it is not difficult to extract salt, and the quantity is large. I believe it should not be difficult for you to get salt."

Looking at Xu Wenyan's harmless smile, Xiaoman shook her head helplessly: "We have to go back and discuss this with Commander Wang."

After the four of them finished discussing, Chen Sanlin glared at Xiaoman, and Xu Wenyan held his hand as soon as he came out.

"Xiaoman, you shot three wild boars. The arrows are all here. You also killed three more. A total of six are here." Xiaohu said, pointing to the six wild boars in the yard.

"Well, please."

Xiaohu and Xiaoman naturally knew each other, so it was relatively easy for them to talk.

Glancing at the crowd, Xiaoman saw two adult women in the field. The second aunt Zhou Rong mentioned should be among them.

After wasting so much time, the sun is about to set. If we go back now, we may not get there until midnight.

"Brother Xu, I wonder if I can stay here for one night."

Xu Wenyan nodded: "Call me Xu Wenyan, you are no longer the waiter of Zuixianlou, but we don't have any extra beds here, so you can only sleep in the main hall."

"It's okay, we have all slept at the grave before." Luo Sanyuan interjected at this time. He looked around and saw a stream not far ahead.

The setting sun turned the stream orange-red. As it flowed downstream, the decoration style of this small second floor was unprecedented. The eaves of the house was a large slope, and even the stove was in the middle.

There is a big table on the right, and in the innermost part are five or six caves, chicken coops, rabbit coops, terraced fields, orchards, and even the air and the chirping of insects seem particularly comfortable.

Xu Wenyan began to ask everyone to process the meat. It would take who knows how long for them to transport the salt over, and the meat would become rancid.

He skillfully made a fire in the yard, gutted the animal, bleached the hair, and then Chen Sanlin cut it into pieces, and finally put them all into the earthen kiln to smoke dry.

"Hey, can you help us bleach it too? No need to smoke it." Luo Sanyuan walked over to watch Chen Sanlin cutting the wild boar meat. His technique was extremely smooth, and it seemed that he could feel the joints of the wild boar with his eyes closed.

Chen Sanlin ignored him and continued with his work.

"That's another price." Xu Wenyan smiled.

"Okay, how much money do you want?" Luo Sanyuan had money on him, but he had nowhere to spend it along the way.

To be honest, Xu Wenyan really didn't know how much it would cost to bleach the pig hair and cut the meat.

"Give me three hundred coins. After all, there are six pigs."

Luo Sanyuan thought for a second and then paid the bill quickly.

After dealing with the wild boars, Wang Cuijuan started cooking, and Xiaoman found her during this time.

"Are you Wang?"

Wang Cuijuan was stunned: "Well, what's wrong."

"You know Zhou Rong, right? She's still in Jixiang Village."

"Ah? Rongrong?" Wang Cuijuan's eyes widened. She had thought that the shy and obedient girl had... but she had never expected that she had survived. "So how is she...how is she doing?"

Speaking of this, Wang Cuijuan was obviously a little excited.

Xiaoman told her Zhou Rong's original words.

After hearing this, Wang Cuijuan burst into tears on the spot. Xu Wenyan passed by at this time and heard Wang Cuijuan crying. He looked at Xiaoman beside the stove and thought that Xiaoman had bullied Wang Cuijuan.

I thought to myself that it couldn't be possible, but I was still worried, so I walked over and took Xiaoman's hand and said, "Xiaoman, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing the frown on Xu Wenyan's face, Xiaomian was also panicked for a moment: "Ah? No... I didn't... I."

"Wen Yan, no, you misunderstood. Rongrong is still alive in the village. Xiaoman told me." Wang Cuijuan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and explained.

"That's it."

But Chen Sanlin saw the scene of Xu Wenyan pulling Xiaoman's hand, because it was Xu Wenyan who took the initiative to pull it. Although it had been let go at this time, Chen Sanlin was obviously very uncomfortable.

When they were chopping meat for Xiaoman and the others, the force they used went through the pork bones, leaving a deep mark on the large wooden block.

No one knew what happened to him, and no one dared to ask.
