The whole family traveled through ancient times with their house

If Captain Dong knew what Shi Feng was thinking, he would definitely tell him: "Forget it. People like you are tigers, but you are still tigers. You are just idiots. You are just tigers."

Shi Feng was dissatisfied, but he didn't dare say it out loud, for fear of being beaten even more severely by Captain Dong.

Captain Dong gave him a rare look and warned him earnestly, "If you want to hate someone, go hate Captain Wei. Captain Shi just said that he was tricked by Captain Wei."

"Yeah, it has nothing to do with us." Zhou Dasheng also knows how to speak.

Captain Dong, still feeling the lack of fun, jokingly told a story that made Shi Feng and the others want to bang their heads against the wall. "Madam Jiang isn't a military household; she's a decent citizen."

After hearing this, Shi Feng and his men wanted to die, and secretly cursed Wei Qianhu to give birth to a son without an anus.

After torturing them physically and emotionally, Captain Dong kindly let them go. "Okay, it's time for you to go. We don't have time to chat with you."

Shi Feng: …

"What? Are you still waiting for us to provide you with food?"

"Need not."

Shi Feng didn't dare to eat here. He was afraid that he would be poisoned to death by that she-devil, and he would have no place to seek justice.

Just because someone calls them good citizens, they have already lost.

His subordinates were all from military families, and their status was lower than others.

The voices and the sound of horse hooves gradually faded away. Jiang Yan came out of the yard and saw that everyone had left. Only a package was left on the stump under the ginkgo tree.

Jiang Yan walked over and rummaged through the contents. There was quite a bit of stuff inside: about seven or eight taels of silver, two hundred taels of silver notes, a pair of silver bracelets, a gold bracelet, two gold rings, two jade pendants of decent quality, and a bracelet.

Looking at these objects and silver, Jiang Yan knew that the people who came to cause trouble today were not good people.

Anyone with eyes could see that these items and silver were looted from exiled prisoners.

Whether it is active or passive is unknown.

Yichen had woken up a long time ago, and she didn't want to go out and cause trouble when her mother could handle the problem herself.

Seeing that the noise outside had died down, he quietly glanced at Changsheng who was still sleeping, then put on his shoes and left the house.

When Yichen ran out of the yard and saw the things on the wooden block, her eyes immediately became bright.

"Mom, what should we do with these things?"

"Exchange the banknotes for silver, give the bracelets to your aunt, and spend the rest."

She didn't want to keep anything that had been touched by those stinky garbage around with her.

"Well, I'll clean this bracelet for Auntie first."

"Row."

Yichen washed the bracelet with the water that overflowed from her hands and added a little soapy water, while discussing with Jiang Yan.

"Mom, when are we going to Black Rock City to spend some money?"

"Wait until everyone has finished harvesting their crops."

These days, people in the banner would borrow her family's carriage to transport grain. Guan said that this was much more convenient than carrying grain on their shoulders in previous years.

After dinner, Jiang Yan quietly gave the bracelet to Guan.

Guan didn't want it, but Jiang Yan didn't allow her to refuse and put it on her wrist directly.

After Jiang Yan returned, Guan happily showed off to her husband. "My sister is better than my brother."

"Well, neither can my brother."

"What do you think of our fate?"

"That's good, at least your sister bought you three big bracelets."

"This bracelet must be quite expensive."

"It's several dozen taels in total. You're really willing to spend that much."

"Oh, there is so much silver. I can't wear it. What if it breaks?" Guan took off the bracelet and prepared to hide it in the hole of the kang.

"Wife, why don't you wear it? It looks pretty."

"Put it away first and wear it during the New Year."

"It's the same with Dai now."

"How can it be the same now? We are busy right now. If the sorghum stalks and corn cobs were to break the bracelet, I would be so sad."

“…” Seeing that he couldn’t persuade his wife, Zhang Xiaoqi stopped talking.

A few days later, the crops of the Thirteen Banners were finally harvested, and Jiang Yan asked Guan if she wanted to go to Black Stone City for a stroll.

"go."

Guan Shi had become tanned and thinner these days. When Jiang Yan suggested taking a stroll in Black Stone City, she was more than happy to do so.

Zhang Xiaoqi disagreed with them going to Black Rock City. "In previous years, the northern barbarians would come to steal food at this time of year. You'd better not go to Black Rock City. It's not safe along the way. Furthermore, Black Rock City might close the gates and not let anyone in or out."

Zhang Xiaoqi was afraid that the two would not listen to his advice, so he talked for a long time.

After listening to people's advice and having a full meal, Jiang Yan saw Zhang Xiaoqi's serious expression, so she looked at Guan helplessly and decided not to go to Black Stone City.

The most disappointed person for not going to Black Rock City was Sansheng. His idea of ​​seeing the whole picture of Black Rock City was dashed again.

Yichen couldn't bear to see Brother Sansheng's lost look, so she made a grasshopper for him with grass leaves.

Sansheng was so happy that he immediately forgot about going to Black Stone City, and begged sister Chenchen to weave another one for him.

Jiang Yan had nothing to do so she wandered around her home. After a while, she saw the ruins of the slave camp.

Seeing the dilapidated state of this place, Jiang Yan felt a little disgusted and started thinking about how to turn this place into flat land so that she could grow crops next year.

It was Dasheng who gave her an idea, "Aunt Jiang, I can bring my friends to tear down this place."

"Are you okay?" Jiang Yan asked Dasheng, but was looking at Guan.

"If they can do it, let them do it."

Seeing that Guan supported it, Jiang Yan told Dasheng about her idea.

"I can't let you work for free. I'll pay you a pound of corn a day as wages. Please work for me."

Wang Xiaolang next to him was the first to raise his hand to sign up. He had heard from Lord Xiaoqi that someone at Captain Dong's place offered three pounds of corn in exchange for one pound of corn grown by Madam Jiang, but Captain Dong was unwilling to make the exchange.

When the other children found out, they also ran over to join in.

Wulang, Liulang and Qilang from the Ye family also came to help.

Balang and Jiulang were still young and couldn't do this job, so they sneaked over to play with Yichen.

When a group of young boys were working hard, they saw smoke rising from the top of a distant mountain.

"Oh no! The northern barbarians are coming. Everyone, gather quickly."

Zhang Xiaoqi struck the gong, and each household of the thirteen banners sent out one man, and they soon gathered at the intersection outside the Zhang family's wall.

Seeing Zhang Xiaoqi leading his men in the direction of the Hundred Households Office, Dasheng also put down his work and took his companions to patrol the mountain pass.

The rest of the people began to look for places to dig holes to hide the food.

Mrs. Ye came over with her son and daughter-in-law and asked Jiang Yan if she wanted help. Jiang Yan thanked them for their kindness and said she had a way.

After seeing off Mrs. Ye and the others, Jiang Yan collected all the food that was on display.
