Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

Autumn came in the blink of an eye, and the scorching sun was burning the earth wantonly.

The air was filled with a dry smell.

The crops in the fields were also hunched over.

Corn is also growing poorly.

But despite the depression, at least we can still see corn kernels on the corn, so we can grind down some grains!

Although the sweet potatoes and potatoes grown underground are very small, they are not completely unproductive.

This is a blessing for the villagers living in Kaoshan Village.

Many other villages have planted rice and wheat.

The only harvest was the potatoes and sweet potatoes in the field.

The peppers were harvested once a few months ago, but because of the drought, they did not grow well, and after the first harvest, we couldn’t harvest the second one.

Xia Shengsheng has not contacted Tao Wuji in the past few months.

She bought the peppers from the villagers herself, but the price was a little lower than last year.

All the peppers are dried directly before being harvested.

Last year, the price of dried chili peppers was 180 wen per pound, and this year it is 40 wen per pound, which is 1/3 lower than the price of fresh chili peppers last year.

The villagers had no complaints about this.

Because it was agreed at the beginning that even if we planted peppers, we might not harvest them this year, and if we did, we would definitely not buy them at the original price.

Besides, the peppers are not growing well this year, so they are already very happy to be able to sell them.

In addition, because of Xia Shengsheng, the grain harvest this year is much more than that of other villages, which is something to be happy about.

The small river in the village can no longer draw any water, and there is nothing to irrigate the fields.

Although there are still more than ten days before the harvest in previous years, if it rains, the crops can grow longer by then, but if it doesn't rain, Xia Shengsheng knows this best.

Therefore, it is recommended that everyone harvest the crops early. If you hold on any longer, the corn will be dried out sooner or later.

Everyone followed Xia Shengsheng's advice and started the autumn harvest work early.

Xia Shengsheng also felt very relaxed when harvesting crops.

From summer 1st to summer 10th, Wang Si contracted the work in the fields.

Xia Shengsheng and Jin Ling just need to prepare some mung bean soup for everyone at home and cook the daily meals.

No need to work in the fields under the sun anymore.

Ye Chao, Ercheng and Sicheng couldn't escape. Xia Shengsheng drove them to the fields to exercise.

It is better for boys to suffer a little more.

Although Mr. Yang and Master Li are responsible for teaching the two girls, they are not arrogant and have always helped with housework at home. Washing clothes, cooking, and cleaning are all easy for them.

During the past six months, Wang Yang's personality has become much more cheerful. She is no longer like before when you wouldn't hear her speak for a whole day.

Now I can still make a joke occasionally.

If the work was done, Xia Shengsheng would let her go to class with the two girls.

As for whether she prefers needlework or reading, Xia Shengsheng never participated.

After several days of work, all the grain in the fields was harvested.

Corn is a high-yield grain, but in this case, its yield is several times lower.

But any harvest is better than no harvest, isn't it?

That night, the sky was dotted with stars, and the moon was blocked by dark clouds, making the pitch-black night feel pitch dark.

Xia Shengsheng suddenly felt a little flustered.

I went to the front yard specifically to tell Xia Yi to ask him to notify everyone to be more alert at night.

Xia Yi and Xia Er were guarding the yard the whole time.

The other few people took turns patrolling around Xia Shengsheng's house.

After instructing Xia Yi and Wang Si, Xia Shengsheng went to the rooms of the two gentlemen and several children.

Ask them to lock the door at night and wake up the people around them if they hear any noise.

"Don't worry, auntie, I'll take care of Er Sicheng and he'll be fine."

Tao Siyuan is quite good at kung fu, so Xia Shengsheng is really relieved.

Even though Ye Chao and Er Cheng had only been practicing martial arts for a short time, ordinary thieves were no match for them.

After giving instructions to the children, he went back to his room, picked up his pillow and quilt, and went to live in Yiyi and Shanshan's room.

It's really worrying to see two girls living alone who are helpless and unable to do anything.

After Xia Shengsheng lay down, she still felt very anxious.

He looked at the two children sleeping beside him and said nothing.

But just lay there quietly.

Until the second half of the night, Xia Shengsheng didn't seem to be sleepy at all.

Suddenly, a sound flashed across the quiet night sky, like a transmission signal.

Xia Shengsheng quickly got up and went out to check.

Just then, Xia Yi ran over.

"What's going on?" Xia Shengsheng asked.

"Madam, there is a group of people attacking the village. They seem to be bandits!" Xia Yihui replied.

"Ring the gong to wake up the villagers!" Xia Shengsheng ordered quickly.

He went into the house and called to wake up Yiyi and Shanshan. At this time, Tao Siyuan, Ye Chao and Ercheng also put on their clothes and ran out.

Xia Yi picked up the gong and struck it, and the sound echoed throughout the village.

It made those who were still sleeping sit up instantly.

"What happened?"

"What happened?"

Xia Shengsheng had no time to care about others.

First, let the children in the family and those who don’t know martial arts enter the secret passage.

"You guys go in too. You don't know what the situation is outside. There must be someone inside to protect everyone."

Xia Shengsheng looked at Tao Siyuan, Ye Chao and Er Cheng and talked to them.

"Let the two little ones protect everyone! You have to take responsibility now that you are old enough. Can you do it? It's time to test your skills!"

Originally, Ye Chao and Er Cheng didn't want to enter the secret room.

Hearing Tao Siyuan say this, they suddenly felt that the responsibility they both had became much heavier.

"Of course we can, we can definitely protect everyone."

Afterwards, Xia Shengsheng and Tao Siyuan restored the secret room.

Xia Shengsheng glanced at the serious Tao Siyuan and suddenly felt that this kid was quite smart.

"Be careful later. If you get hurt, I'm afraid your father won't forgive me." Xia Shengsheng said.

"Don't worry, Auntie! A bandit can't hurt me. With my skills, I can beat them to a pulp."

Well, it seems some people really can't speak.

When Xia Shengsheng and Tao Siyuan went out, there was already a fight outside.

But it was all overwhelming, and the bandits were beaten to a pulp by Xia Yi and his gang.

Although the Xia family achieved good results, the situation was different for the people in the village.

They were suddenly awakened, and many of them didn't know what was going on.

Even if some of them reacted quickly and picked up weapons to fight the oncoming bandits, some were unable to resist.

The village was filled with cries of pain.

"Xia Wu goes to help the Chen family father and daughter, Wang Si and Si Yuan guard the yard. Everyone else goes to the village to help."

"Yes!"

Their small yard doesn't need so many people.

The villagers need your help even more.

After Xia Shengsheng left the hospital, he went to Doctor Zhao's house first.

Two thieves were smashing Dr. Zhao's door.

After Xia Shengsheng went over, he took care of the two people in a few moves.

He knocked on the door and asked, "Doctor Zhao, are you okay?"

The door was quickly opened from the inside.

"It's okay, it's okay. Go help the others. I'll hide so no one can find me."

Xia Shengsheng knew that Doctor Zhao's house also had a secret room, so she felt relieved.

"Okay, lock the door and hide well. If anything happens, shout out loud and I'll come to help you right away."

After giving the instructions, he met Doctor Zhao and said it was done.

Xia Shengsheng ran off to help other families!
