Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully
Chapter 238: Nightmare
After receiving feedback from Ada and his team on their first day at work.
The next day, almost everyone in Baisha Village, except the elderly and children, went to sign up.
During the following period of service, the meals provided by Longtan County Government were good every day.
Some villagers who were afraid of not having enough to eat at first secretly brought dry food with them, but in the end they didn't.
The food got better, everyone was able to eat their fill, and naturally they had more strength.
With such good treatment, people in every village worked very hard, and thus the task of repairing the canal in the village was completed ahead of schedule.
After digging the irrigation canal, everyone worked together to build the road.
As the saying goes, if you want to be rich, build roads first.
Open up roads from every village to Longtan County to facilitate villagers’ travel and transportation of crops in the future.
After solving the problem of food and clothing, Lin Yinan's next plan is to choose suitable resources based on local characteristics and develop planting or breeding industries.
It is also necessary to repair the official road connecting Longtan and Changyi, and to level and widen it on the existing basis.
No matter how life and death fights happen in the north in the future, they only want to settle down and build a career in the south.
The cause of family and country is too heavy for them. In prosperous times, they are only given endless taxes and levies, and in troubled times, they cannot even protect their own lives.
The Zhong family sent five idiots, but they never expected that they went to Longtan with full confidence, but came back doubting their lives.
When they arrived at Longtan, they easily blended into the corvée team.
When the road was first being built, everyone thought that the five guys peeking around were from the other village.
It was not until the secret guards investigated that they discovered that these five people were almost not in any village.
So the secret guard reported what he had found.
At that time, Lin Yinan was looking at the expenditure account book of the county government. The expenses of the county government were getting bigger and bigger. If it were not for the expenses brought by the Chen family's salt, the county government would have been out of pocket long ago.
Yun Mo, who is recuperating from his injuries, spends all his time with his wife and daughter, except for occasionally visiting the city wall and the horse farm. He is a complete slave to his wife.
"This is the report from the secret guard. Take a look." Lin Yinan handed the briefing to Yun Mo who was holding his daughter.
Yun Mo frowned, looking a little impatient. He took the note with one hand and read the contents of the report in a few seconds.
"Aren't we short of people to build the road? No matter who they are, don't let them leave until they have completed their labor service. It's just two meals, we can afford it." Yun Mo said in a cold tone.
Lin Yinan looked up at him in surprise. When did this man learn these despicable tactics?
Seeing her expression, Yun Mo grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Just tell me if it's true or not, right?"
Lin Yinan: That makes a lot of sense. She was speechless.
"Then tell the secret guards."
Yun Mo nodded at him and gave her an expression that reassured her. He held Nineteen in one hand and wrote quickly on the paper with the other.
After receiving the reply, the secret guard smiled obliquely, what's the problem with this?
Asan and his companions did not gain any useful information from the corvée team. They were just a bunch of peasants. Apart from discussing what to eat tomorrow and the matters between men and women in bed at night, it was extremely boring.
On the first night, Asan wanted to leave with his men.
I finally made it until late at night and woke up my subordinates who were tired and had to listen to my orders all day.
The five of them quietly slipped out of the temporary camp and ran towards their next destination in good mood.
Suddenly, with a strange cry, the five people felt dizzy, their heads felt heavy, and they fell to the ground instantly.
"Boss, what should we do with them?" the secret guard asked another secret guard.
The captain of the secret guards said, "Carry them back. The master said that the road has not been repaired yet, and he will not let them leave."
So, in the darkness shrouded by twilight, five black shadows carried five human-shaped objects on their backs and ran towards the temporary corvée camp.
The next day, Ah San woke up still a little confused.
He clearly remembered that they walked ten miles last night, but how come they were still in the temporary corvée camp when they woke up?
The rest of the people had no memory of what happened last night and thought it was just a dream. They quickly adjusted their mindsets and threw themselves into the new day's work.
The next night, while everyone was asleep, Asan and his four men started running along the predetermined route.
After running for only half a night, they found themselves back at a place five miles away from the camp.
Finally, Asan and the others were so tired from running that they collapsed to the ground one by one.
"Third brother, I can't do it anymore. I can't walk anymore."
"I'm so sleepy, Third Brother."
Asan was too tired to speak. He closed his eyes and waved at the few people. He couldn't run anymore, so they could do whatever they wanted.
When he opened his eyes again, San jumped up from the bed in horror.
How? How did they end up back at the temporary corvée camp?
"Asan, why can't you guys pay it back? Are you trying to be lazy?" A villager poked his head in and said to Asan and his five companions with a sarcastic tone.
No one knew which village these five people were from. They were not energetic at work during the day, fell asleep as soon as they fell asleep at night, and could not get up in the morning even if they were called. They ate as much as pigs in the pigsty, more than any of them.
"Hey, wake up, I'll be right there."
In order not to arouse suspicion, Asan woke up his four companions with huge dark circles under his eyes.
The five people, feeling hopeless, carried their hoes and shovels and followed the villagers to go to work.
On the third night, Asan and his four men walked in the mountains for half the night.
When they woke up, they saw that they were surrounded by villagers.
"Hey, wake up! Wake up!"
Seeing them wake up, the villagers breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why are you four awake and outside?"
"Ah! There's a ghost!"
Asan struggled to sit up and looked around, and found that they were sleeping in a jungle not far from the kitchen.
"Where did the ghost come from? Are you having a nightmare?"
He was inexplicably shocked and broke out in a cold sweat, because he had been walking with his four men for half the night and had not yet left the camp.
Looking at his four men who were still soundly sleeping, Asan felt a little frightened and reached out to feel their breathing.
It was not until he felt the warm breath on his hand that the tense string in his heart finally relaxed.
This place is so fucking weird!
Despite this, Asan, who had a heavy responsibility, did not stop there.
On the fourth day, he and his four men wandered around the mountain for half a night and finally got lost in a thick fog.
He didn't believe it and broke through the thick fog, but what appeared before them was a group of ghost-faced people with green faces and fangs.
"Ghost!"
"Third brother, there's a ghost!"
The five people were so scared that they ran back in a panic. The hillside was steep and they rolled down one after another.
When they woke up the next day, they looked at each other in bewilderment, for they were now in the camp.
The villagers who were getting up one after another looked at them curiously.
Are these five people stupid?
I wake up with a startle every day.
In fact, Asan and the others were almost scared silly.
If you tell this to others, who the hell would dare to believe it is true?
From then on, they no longer dared to have any bad intentions and run away, and just followed the villagers to do labor service.
They didn't know that the Zhong family far away in Huaizhou City was going crazy with anxiety.
"Butler, have Ah San and the others sent back any news?"
The housekeeper lowered his eyebrows and said, "Report to the master, no."
"That's not possible? Ah San is not always so unreliable in doing things?" The head of the Zhong family asked doubtfully.
