An orphan girl from a farming family: Everyday farming in the mountains during natural disasters

Xiaomei burst into tears, "Wow, miss, it's already this time, and you're still thinking about those refugees."

"Don't cry, we'll get through this."

After the Qian family walked away, Xia Qingyue and the others emerged from the darkness.

"I recognize those people. They are..."

In a few words, she explained what happened to the Qian family.

Han Zhibai keenly realized that Qian Wentao's purpose in pestering her twice was not simple, and his eyes became dark.

"By the way, have you heard about Guan Jianshan?"

"Is it related to Tianlang Village? I seem to have heard someone talk about it before."

"That's right, it was Guan Jianshan who occupied Tianlang Village. Later, the soldiers launched a night attack and told the public that those people were dead. But some time ago, my uncle met Guan Jianshan in Datong Town."

"We all suspect that this person is still trying to take advantage of the current unrest to cause trouble. He may be lurking somewhere in the mountains."

She told him everything she had learned from Li Benfu about Guan Jianshan's appearance.

Han Zhibai frowned slightly, "It's dangerous for you to go out."

She retorted seriously: "Not only me, but you too!"

"Come on, I'll take you out of the jungle." Han Zhibai was very nervous.

She grabbed his hand and said, "It's dangerous outside, so my aunt and I agreed to go out every few days. The more frequently we go out, the more dangerous it is. But don't worry too much, we are all very careful."

I have said almost everything that needs to be said. It's time to go back.

On the way to escort Xia Qingyue out of the dense forest, Han Zhibai looked around frequently and was very alert. Fortunately, the journey was smooth.

Edge of the woods.

She looked at him with a smile, and said with reluctance in her heart: "Go back, don't come out again in the next few days, wait until the day we agreed to come out."

That will be six days later.

"Okay, be careful on the road. Come to the valley to find me if you have any problems." Han Zhibai's affectionate eyes were full of reluctance and worry.

"I'm leaving."

She turned around to leave, but Han Zhibai stretched out his arm and held her hand.

She turned around and looked at him in surprise.

He gently squeezed her soft hand, the corners of his mouth raised, "I'll watch you go."

"it is good."

Soon, Xia Qingyue walked away, and the black dot-like figure disappeared.

Han Zhibai looked at the direction she left for a long, long time...

After returning to the tiankeng, Xia Qingyue raised her hand and stroked her red face, "It seems a bit hot today."

There has been a lot of rain this year, so it’s not warm at all living in the cave, and we haven’t even taken out the straw mat to lay out the bed.

After drinking two glasses of boiled water, her mood gradually calmed down. She smiled happily and counted on her fingers, "There are still six days left."

I'm really looking forward to that day.

That evening, the Qian brothers and sisters who had been out returned to the village.

After running around outside all day, Qian Wentao was exhausted. In the afternoon, he hunted a chicken and a rabbit. He was in a good mood. He swaggered into the most spacious and best decorated house in the village and ordered people to prepare hot water and hot dishes.

Qian Yurou and Xiaomei built a series of low wooden houses closely connected to each other on the open space outside the village. This is where the villagers and refugees live.

She was lucky today and found more than 30 kilograms of wild vegetables. Qian Yurou distributed the wild vegetables to orphans and widows who had no food at home. Some of them were in poor health and had difficulty moving, so she personally washed and cooked the wild vegetables and fed them to them.

As night fell, fires lit up in every corner of the village, burning wet wood. Thick black smoke drifted away, and the flames were dim.

Late at night, it was drizzling.

Most of the people inside and outside the village fell asleep, and the remaining soldiers and the young and strong men they selected took turns to keep watch and patrol.

The small door of a wooden house outside the village opened silently, leaving an inconspicuous gap. A pair of eyes inside was looking at a room in the middle of the village opposite in front of it. That was Qian Zhongsheng's room.

The two pairs of eyes stared at each other for more than two hours, until their eyes were sore, so they took over and stared again.

The two men who had gone back to rest talked in a voice that only they could hear:

"The village ran out of food a long time ago. We've been eating wild vegetables for almost a month. Qian Zhongsheng's face has turned green from eating so much. It's only these few days. We have to keep a closer eye on it!"

"Yeah, I didn't expect him to be so patient. Brother Shan couldn't wait any longer and wanted to use other methods to force a confession."

"Qian Zhongsheng is a cunning fox. I'm afraid he's not that easy to deal with. It's better not to alert him. If he doesn't make any moves in the next few days, we can only drug him and capture him!"

At the same time, a team of patrolling soldiers led by Master Liu Yi was about to pass by the wooden house, and the eyes that were watching behind the house quickly withdrew.

When passing by the wooden house, Liu Yi did not stop, but glanced at the wooden house coldly with the corner of his eye. After passing by there, a strange sneer appeared on his face.

Some time ago, Liu Yi accidentally discovered that someone among the refugees had targeted Qian Zhongsheng. The other party did it very secretly, and he secretly observed for a long time before he confirmed it.

This group of people pretended to be refugees during the day. Two of them were doing well and went in and out of the village working as followers, and they kept watch on people at night.

If he hadn't gone to Qian Zhongsheng's study that morning, he would definitely not understand why.

However, when he went there that day and heard what was happening, he realized that this group of people were coming for the money and grain that Qian Zhongsheng had secretly hidden in the mountains.

After that day, the suspicious Qian Zhongsheng did not let housekeeper Liu handle the matter, but secretly found a group of people to handle it secretly, and then killed them all afterwards.

Liu Yi paid attention to this matter and was able to find some clues.

He went up the mountain based on the little clues he found, but discovered that Qian Zhongsheng had three burrows and had set up several confusing locations, so he had no idea where the money and grain were.

Since going up the mountain, Liu Yi has been hiding it from everyone and secretly looking for several places to eliminate. Today, he has finally eliminated the last two places.

Just go to one more place and huge amounts of gold, silver, treasures and food will be at your fingertips.

As far as Liu Yi knew, Qian Zhongsheng secretly embezzled a lot of disaster relief grain for himself, which should add up to ten shi.

There is even a lot of money.

After a round of patrol, nothing happened and it was time for a change of personnel. Liu Yi took over and returned to his wooden house.

The moment the door was completely closed, his face suddenly turned gloomy, and a smile appeared in his bright eyes.

The wooden house was narrow and simply furnished with a bed, a round table and two stools.

He sat down on a low stool, raised the corners of his mouth, slowly picked up the bamboo kettle on the table, poured himself a glass of water and drank it.

After drinking half a cup, his eyes fell on the slightly rippling water in the cup, and he couldn't help but chuckle.

When he was a few years old, a senior monk passed by his home and read his fortune, saying that he had an incompatibility with water.

Therefore, his parents changed his name to Yi, which means fire.

In this rainy season, the heavy rain brought him a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and blessing, which was enough money and food that he could not spend or eat in several lifetimes.

Liu Yi swallowed the water in the cup in one gulp, with a mocking look in his eyes, "My fate is in my own hands, you crazy monk who is a swindler!"
