Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

I avoided the crowd, took out my bicycle, and was about to ride when I suddenly felt a prick in my heart.

It was very short. Zhao Yuanzhen touched his heart and thought, he was too old to stay up late!

After riding the bike for more than an hour, we arrived near the village.

It was late at night, and if the system hadn't scanned and guided the way, she might not have been able to find it.

Moreover, the system scans the optimal route, saving her some travel time.

I put away my bike and found a sturdy tree to jump onto.

The village is built on the mountain, with its back against a cliff and high mountains on both sides. The village is located in a canyon and is shaded by trees, so it is quite hidden.

There are three two-story buildings in the village, built in a triangular shape. The main gate of Zhongshan Village is a wooden gate more than three meters high.

There is a watchtower on the left side of the gate. There are people patrolling on the Tower Mountain, and there are also patrol teams in the courtyard.

There was a bonfire burning in front of the lobby of the main building. The light was flickering and not very clear, but you could tell there were people in the lobby.

Zhao Yuanzhen took out the sleepy bug and released it. It took about half an hour for the sleepy bug to fly back.

She jumped down from the tree, took out her machete, walked towards the stronghold, and killed all the bandits lying on the ground she saw along the way.

They burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of atrocities, but Zhao Yuanzhen felt no psychological burden when she took action.

There were 58 bandits, 3 old women who cooked, and some women who had been robbed in the village.

As she killed, she counted, one, two, three, four... Zhao Yuanzhen felt like she was a bit perverted, like a murderer. She put all the bodies into the space, and threw them off the cliff after killing them.

Zhao Yuanzhen didn't kill the three old ladies. She found the place where the women were imprisoned. They were lying on the ground in dishevel. Zhao Yuanzhen sighed. Damn bandits.

He unlocked the door where they were being held and threw it away, put their clothes in order, and then left quietly.

She couldn't take them with her either. She could only take care of herself now.

After walking around the village twice more and making sure that all the bandits had been dealt with, she headed towards the warehouse.

The boxes in the warehouse were piled up in a mess. They had just been snatched back and had not yet been sorted and stored.

She took everything without hesitation, leaving the clothes and luggage behind, but sold all the calligraphy and paintings, ornaments and special jewelry to the mall in exchange for points.

I exchanged 45 points, and now I have more than 50 points.

The remaining cash is about 11 taels. This is how much money was robbed from many wealthy families.

There was only so much cash, not counting the silver bills, which amounted to about 80 taels. The rich families in their county were really rich.

It is not known whether the silver bill would have a mark, like a check in modern society.

She decided to put it aside for now, and then ask the system to exchange it for silver when she needed it.

Seeing that all the boxes had been packed up, he went to the kitchen to collect the food. There was still a lot of food.

There are more than 8000 kilograms of rice, more than 4000 kilograms of flour, and about 2500 kilograms of other grains.

Zhao Yuanzhen left 1000 kilograms of rice, 1000 kilograms of flour, and 200 kilograms of miscellaneous grains.

In a conspicuous place beside the grain, he left the silver and copper coins on the bandits' bodies and in the room.

He picked out the not-so-conspicuous gold and silver jewelry he had collected from the county magistrate's mansion and left behind a small box.

There was only so much we could do, if they woke up and wanted to escape or just live in the mountains, it would be a guarantee.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to give more, but giving too much would be a disaster for them.

For fear of missing something, we asked the system to scan again, and it actually found more than 400 boxes in the cave in the back mountain.

Zhao Yuanzhen opened them one by one and looked at them. They were all weapons, mostly broadswords. There were a lot of them, more than 2.

They are all made of fine iron. Looking at these weapons, it is very intriguing. How can a small village have so many knives?

You should know that iron and iron ore are strictly guarded by the imperial court. If ordinary people want ironware, they need to go to the county government to register and approve it.

She didn't believe that there was no conspiracy behind this large-scale weapon.

Regardless of whether they were useful or not, Zhao Yuanzhen put away all the weapons.

We can’t let the enemy get away with it. After collecting all these, there is still half of the space left. Fortunately, the space is high enough to store more boxes.

Looking at the big green snake in the corner that day, Zhao Yuanzhen found an empty box to put it in, otherwise he would be scared every time he entered the space.

I simply packed it up. But I put it in a small corner by itself, otherwise I was afraid I would forget it later. I threw out all the other empty boxes.

Looking at these big knives, she went to the bedroom of the big boss to see if there were any clues.

The boss’ bedroom is easy to find, located in the center of the second floor of the main building.

There was a table under the bedroom window. I looked through it but didn't find anything important. I asked the system to scan it carefully and found a small wooden box under the floor tiles under the bed.

It was called a box, but in fact it looked more like a jewelry box. Zhao Yuanzhen suspected that these were the jewelry of the woman he had robbed, so he used the box to hide things.

When the box was taken out, there were 10,000 taels of silver notes, an account book and some letters.

It seems a little familiar.

I opened it and saw that it was indeed him. The old enemy of the original owner.

It turned out that this stronghold was also built to rob him of wealth. The stronghold had a special geographical location and the identity of the bandits served as a cover.

It can also be used as a transit point for the wealth looted from various places.

Looking at the recording time in this account book, it turns out that it has been more than 30 years.

The village chief has changed several times, how long has this prince been plotting? No, how old is this sixth prince?

If we calculate based on this age, then he must be at least 50 years old.

At this age, he can still fight for the throne so actively. He is really full of energy and ambition.

The Sixth Prince's fiefdom was in Taiyuan Prefecture, which was quite a distance away from Yanshan Prefecture, but no one expected that this prince's hands would reach so far.

Now that the Jin army has broken through the pass, there have been years of drought and the treasury is empty. The court is facing a time of turmoil both internally and externally. For those who have rebellious intentions, this is a godsend opportunity.

I'm afraid it won't be long before Daliang is in civil strife. Once civil strife breaks out, the entire Kaifeng Prefecture to the north will be the hardest hit area.

They were not only afraid that the Jin army would break through the pass, but they were even more afraid that he would be let in.

We cannot stay in the north of Kaifeng or in Kaifeng for long. By then, wars will break out and there will be a struggle for imperial power, and we may even have to recruit soldiers.

There are two men of marriageable age in the family who absolutely cannot be conscripted. She does not expect them to achieve great things through conscription. She only hopes that they can live a healthy life with no worries about food and clothing. She has also given an explanation to the original owner.

The focus of their escape this time must be south of Kaifeng Prefecture.

You can't be too close to the Yangtze River either, as there is a risk of flooding. Now you can look at Luzhou or Jizhou, and then see where to go in the end.

She was from the north before she traveled through time, so she longed for the south. Now that she has the opportunity to choose a place she likes to live in, she still needs to plan and consider it carefully.

Judging from the time recorded in the account book, these weapons were only brought here not long ago and have not been transported away yet. It is not known whether they will be transported away or hidden in this mountain village.

Tsk, the village chief was killed too early, otherwise we could have caught him and questioned him.

But who knew that he was actually selling dog meat under the guise of mutton, and a bandit stronghold was actually a hideout for a prince to amass wealth and hide his private property.

The problem now is, I don’t know how long it will take for the Sixth Prince to discover that the village has been robbed.

If they were discovered too late, they would have probably run far away. If they were discovered too early, given the power that this prince had built up and his unscrupulous nature of using any means to achieve his goals, it would be very likely that he would wipe out their entire village.

Well, but the knives that the village chief collected have to be put away and cannot be used.

A large number of knives in a village is too eye-catching. A little calculation can lead to the conclusion that the village has been destroyed.

We also have to strictly tell the villagers that no one can spread this matter.

They also had to leave this place early and escape from the Sixth Prince's sealed area before being discovered.

Take all possible precautions. If he is found, just kill him, and avenge the original owner.

But she had previously thought of waiting until she settled down before taking revenge, because she didn't want to drag down the villagers on her way to escape, but now it seems that trouble has come knocking on her door.

Never mind. If this prince really dares to come and cause trouble, then kill him.

He collected the small box and put it together with the account books and letters of the previous county magistrate.

I walked around the village again and confirmed that there was nothing left.

Zhao Yuanzhen rode her mountain bike down the mountain. As for the horses and carriages, they were left to the women.

The world is in chaos, and whether they can survive depends on their luck.

There were so many people and so many gossips that she couldn't possibly take them along and risk the secret being leaked. Saving their lives was already a form of compensation for their property.

Although she snatched it from the bandits.

She is a person who hates trouble. If she hadn't occupied the original owner's body, she wouldn't even want to care about her descendants. Wouldn't it be wonderful to travel around by herself?

By the time we got back to the carriage, it was almost 4 o'clock. Another day of staying up late.

sleep.

Waking up yawning, she found the village chief and told him about the knife. She did not tell him what she had discovered last night, but just said that she kept the knife for fear that the bandits would come to her house for revenge.

The village chief was terrified when he heard this. He then mentioned to the village chief in a veiled way that there were so many people talking nonsense. What if...

The village chief understood immediately and said he would hold a meeting immediately to tell them strictly that no one was allowed to reveal what happened yesterday, otherwise they would be expelled from the family.

Zhao Yuanzhen took the opportunity to say that she would take care of the knives. She found some cloth to wrap the knives, and then walked to a deserted place to put the knives away.

For breakfast, Qian Xiaohui cooked horse meat soup and added the pancakes she had made earlier.

Knowing that Zhao Yuanzhen didn't like horse meat soup, I cooked noodles for her separately, using wild vegetables and a tea egg.

Zhao Yuanzhen was very satisfied. It turned out that her daughter-in-law loved her very much.

After packing up, we set off again. Because the village chief held a meeting to explain the seriousness of the matter, everyone wanted to get away from this troubled place as quickly as possible.

In addition, almost every household had a horse-drawn carriage, so the journey was much faster.

Because entering the city requires a household registration check and a city entry fee. With so many of them and all having carriages, it would be too conspicuous.

Fearing unnecessary trouble, the village chief decided to take the shortcut beside the city, bypassing Yanshan Prefecture and then taking the official road. This shortcut would take more than an hour longer than going through Yanshan Prefecture.
