The whole family traveled through ancient times with their house

Zhang Xiaoqi deliberately misinterpreted his meaning, leaned forward with a serious look, and said with a smile: "Captain, if they can't hold on, they can tell us. As long as there is food, we will have the energy to drag it back."

The landlord's foolish son also jumped on the bandwagon. "Yeah! Besides, it's meat. We can drag all these injured horses home as quickly as possible."

"roll!!"

"okay."

The captain told them to get out, and Zhang Xiaoqi immediately waved to the people under his banner, and they all made the same gesture: Get out!

Jiang Yan retreated first and went to the gates of each house to release the injured horses.

Two horses were placed at the door of the Zhang family. The Ye family had a large population and no food, so Jiang Yan secretly left five injured horses for the Ye family.

Every other family had one horse, including Old Man Wang's family.

Wang Xiaolang had the best ears. He just happened to hear the sound that Jiang Yan left deliberately, and he rushed into the yard in a few steps.

When he saw the big horse inside the gate, he almost screamed.

The boy was also smart. He covered his mouth tightly, turned around and ran into the house to call his grandfather, grandmother and brother.

Old man Wang was just sitting on the kang and sighing, but after hearing what his grandson said, he ran out. His movements were so fast that he didn't even care that his shoes were lost.

Mrs. Wang followed closely behind, pushing her two grandsons to the back.

"Oh my God! Old man, this injured horse must weigh seven or eight hundred pounds."

"Of course, the horses of the Northern Barbarians are taller and larger than those of our Great Zhou."

"Great."

"Don't waste time, let's get the horses in quickly."

"Eh."

Jiang Yan went home after sending the injured horse off. She was also very tired and wanted to sleep.

But in her dreams, she always felt like someone was calling her name.

In a daze, Jiang Yan muttered angrily, "Even if there is a spirit summoner, they can't summon me! Don't you know I have a backer?"

You know what, after Jiang Yan finished shouting, the world seemed to be really quiet.

When Yichen woke up and saw her mother was still asleep, she washed herself and left the house.

She stretched her arms and legs, and saw white smoke rising from the yards of every household on the other side of the river, and the smell of meat wafting in the wind.

"What is this for?"

Yichen was just wondering what big event the people on the other side of the river were doing when she heard her mother's voice. "The people in the banner should be making smoked meat."

"Oh, it smells pretty good."

"Meat, how can it not be fragrant?"

"But I still like to eat pork and mutton."

Jiang Yan: If my daughter hadn't told me she liked pork and mutton, she would have forgotten about the two big wild boars at home.

"mother?"

"Come, let's go home and see the pigs." Jiang Yan said as she took her daughter's hand and went back home.

Yichen looked at her mother in confusion, not knowing what she was going to do.

But when she saw the two wild boars outside the yard gate and such a large pile of wild grapes, her little eyes were filled with beautiful bubbles.

"Mom, did you make all this yesterday?"

"Yes, and chestnuts and walnuts."

"where?"

"I'll put it in the yard when we get out. It needs to be aired again before it can be put away."

In the afternoon, when the Ye sisters came to deliver smoked meat to their aunt and younger sister, they saw the yard full of mountain products.

"What is this?" Ye Zhen'er showed great interest in the cracked thorn ball.

“This is a chestnut.”

"Is it the one that tastes sweet and pink?"

"Yes. We can also make chestnut cakes, and the chestnut flour steamed bread is also very delicious."

"And small steamed buns made with chestnut flour? That's too luxurious!"

"..." Yichen wanted to say that it was not a luxury. Nowadays, many noodle shops sell those small steamed buns, and she and her mother quite like to eat them.

But she didn't dare say this out loud, for fear that her sisters would ask more questions and she wouldn't know how to answer.

Jiang Yan was also afraid that Yichen would let the secret slip, so she let them go out and play.

Jiang Yan went to the vegetable garden herself, thinking that the cabbages and radishes planted there were also ready to be harvested.

Ye Xin'er was a careful girl. When she saw her aunt standing by the vegetable field, she guessed that she was going to harvest cabbage.

He took Yichen's hand and went to the river, wanting to call his family to help.

Just as Ye Xiner brought Yi Chen to the river, she saw four people and four horses galloping towards her on the dirt road and stopped at the door of Zhang Xiaoqi's house.

Ye Xiner knew those four people. The one leading them was Captain Dong, and the three following him were all from the Captain's Office.

The battle had just ended, and the captain came hurriedly looking for Zhang Xiaoqi. I wonder if something important happened?

...

In the Zhang family's courtyard, Zhang Xiaoqi didn't expect that the captain would come today, so he asked his wife to pour a glass of water for a few people.

Captain Dong sat on the stone bench in a depressed mood, not saying a word for a long time.

Seeing that the captain didn't say anything, Zhang Xiaoqi looked at Guo Xiucai and asked him what had happened.

Guo Xiucai also shook his head. He didn't know what was going on.

If Guo Xiucai doesn't know, then there's no need to ask Zhou Dasheng and Lao Wan, because they definitely don't know either.

Captain Dong picked up the water bowl and drank it in one gulp before saying to the people present, "If Madam Jiang wasn't so young, I'd kowtow to her."

Zhang Xiaoqi touched his chin, but felt like he couldn't retract it.

Guo Xiucai: Add one

Zhou Dasheng: Add one more

Lao Wan: His cheek hurts.

Seeing the four people looking at him in bewilderment, Captain Dong rubbed his face vigorously with both hands. After a long while, he said in a trembling voice, "Do you know? In this battle alone, more than half of the brothers from the two captains of Dongshan and Qianshan were killed."

"What?"

"Boss?"

"It's not true, is it?"

"Boss, don't scare me. I'm timid."

"What I said is true. General Ming sent someone to summon me early this morning. Didn't you three follow me to Black Stone City?"

"The three of us went to Black Stone City with the boss, but you and General Ming were discussing things in the house, so the three of us were waiting outside."

"Yes, we have been waiting outside, but General Ming's personal guards won't let us in."

"We were waiting outside, thirsty and hungry, but the boss came out from General Ming and ran all the way without even returning to the Hundred Households Office. Without saying a word, he led the Thirteen Banners to run."

"I feel bad. I look down on those people, but I didn't expect so many brothers from those two centurions to die in battle."

Captain Dong was a little speechless. More than a hundred lives were lost, which meant that more than a hundred families had lost their pillars.

After a while, Captain Dong cleared his throat and continued, "Captain Wei was hacked several times by the northern barbarians."

I don’t know why, but when General Ming talked about Captain Wei being beheaded, Captain Dong didn’t feel anything.

Zhou Dasheng: I’m happy, but I just won’t say it.
