Bracelet space through the past and present? Take it

After hearing the news about their grandparents' family, Zhou Lingling and her siblings felt mixed emotions.

The good news is that they escaped safely and the family will be reunited soon.

What worries me is that my grandparents' family suffered such a disaster because of them. At such an old age, they had to leave their homeland and come to the northern border to avoid disaster...

After the military advisor left, the brother and sister entered the cave where the raw materials were stored.

With Tie Yuan guarding outside, there were no outsiders in this place except the two of them.

"Brother, do you think my uncles will blame me..."

Zhou Lingling felt a little conflicted for once.

She had taken out the new grain because she was worried about the disaster in the southern region.

I wanted to report it through County Magistrate Du. Even if I couldn't get any credit, at least I could protect my grandparents' family from harm.

The results backfired.

The stupid imperial court didn't play by the rules, but instead took away all the food that the people depended on for survival.

What they took away wasn't just food; it was the lives of the people of the Southern Region, their hope for survival...

But those people did just that.

Therefore, County Magistrate Du had no choice but to take a risk. When the imperial envoy was blocked in the south of the Yangtze River, he divided the new grain with the six surrounding counties.

When the court officials escaped and even brought troops to Yunshui County, they did not see any sign of new grain.

He had no choice but to ruthlessly escort Magistrate Du, his maternal grandfather's family, the old patriarch and others back to the capital to report.

My grandparents and the old patriarch were all elderly, yet they were put on the prison van. Needless to say, the journey was extremely difficult...

Zhou Chi raised his hand and touched his sister's head.

"will not."

His tone was very certain.

"Didn't the military advisor just say that not only my grandparents but also the people of Zhoujia Village didn't tell the court that our family was the one that provided the new grain?"

The confused imperial envoy arrived in Yunshui County and was targeted by almost all the people.

There were no rotten vegetable leaves or rotten eggs, but the imperial envoy and the soldiers who came to arrest people drank enough sewage.

At the same time, they all shut their mouths, as if they had forgotten that there was a family there and that the Qi family had gone far away one day last year.

So the people who were arrested were Magistrate Du, the old patriarch, and my maternal grandfather's family...

How could anyone blame her?

If my sister didn't exist, what would the situation in the Southern Region be like now?

People died of hunger all over the fields, and they exchanged their children for food.

Two hundred thousand kilograms of grain was enough for the people of the entire county to survive that cold winter...

After hearing what her brother said, although she was still a little uneasy in her heart, Zhou Lingling tried hard to force a smile.

"Well, I know."

They were all very good, and she couldn't let them down.

"Grandma is sick. When they get to Northern Xinjiang, we'll have Doctor Lao Bai take a good look at her!"

"Let's get to work quickly. I have to go back home and keep watch, lest the old man run away again..."

Zhou Chi also smiled lightly: "Okay, let's finish it quickly and go home to see Doctor Lao Bai."

In the brightly lit cave, the brother and sister divided the work and worked together.

In the silence, the girl's ethereal voice sounded again.

"Brother, do you think Xiao Yan has that idea?"

The boy paused but did not answer.

Some questions don't need answers.

Because time will push you forward step by step...

……

Three days flew by.

Apart from Tieyuan bringing in food every day, the brother and sister never stepped out of the cave.

But looking at the bags of finished products not far away, they both showed joy.

"Finally done……"

The bamboo tubes were processed, and Zhou Lingling was responsible for separating saltpeter and sulfur. Zhou Chi was meticulous and cautious, so he was responsible for the preparation.

Practice makes perfect. I originally planned to make only twenty packs, but I ended up making more than double the amount.

When the brother and sister came out of the cave, the people sent by the military advisor were already waiting at the door.

Looking at the people in front of her wearing the same black clothes, Zhou Lingling raised her eyebrows.

"You are...Secret Guards?"

The leader nodded respectfully, "Yes, Miss Zhou, I am An San, responsible for this escort mission."

Dark Three...

Zhou Lingling had met An Yi, who followed Xiao Yan.

This is a hidden three.

There should be a second dark one.

The names Xiao Yan gave to the secret guards were really... simple and direct.

She couldn't help but curl her lips: "Okay, my brother will tell you how to use it, keep it, and what to pay attention to along the way."

"I just want to emphasize one thing, never go near the fire."

An San nodded again: "Yes, we will definitely remember the lady's instructions!"

Zhou Lingling yawned and walked away.

Zhou Chi was responsible for handing over the work to them.

They were about to go down the mountain, and Zhou Chi had to explain clearly to everyone the two mines and the subsequent handling of this cave.

Standing on the hillside,

The red sun is rising in the east, and the crescent moon is still setting in the west.

Such scenes are very common in northern Xinjiang.

But after coming to the northern border for several months, Zhou Lingling had never seriously appreciated the scenery of the sun and the moon shining together.

The border war was fierce and the imperial court was pressing forward.

The moment they chose to come to Northern Xinjiang, their family was involuntarily involved in a certain fate.

She just wanted her family to survive.

I came to the northern border because I didn't want to bury the 100,000 northern soldiers, and I didn't want my second brother to die young.

However, they unexpectedly managed to avoid arrest by the imperial court by accident.

I don't know where the plot of the original book has gone.

At this time, her father had already died, her mother was in tears every day, her eldest brother was suffering at the dock, and her second brother was about to die in battle...

But now, their family is doing well.

I also get along well with my grandparents' family.

Even if they were caught and their lives were in danger, they did not choose to betray their family.

She became more and more certain that in her previous life in the original book, her uncle and aunt sold her to a wealthy family as a maid after her mother died. There must be other hidden reasons behind this.

This hidden story is most likely related to my cheap cousin.

The plot is like an invisible big hand, causing their family members, who were used as cannon fodder, to die in an extremely miserable way.

It’s a pity that I encountered this variable.

But my cheap cousin still has some ability. If she hadn't been thinking about my eldest cousin, the first branch of the Zhou family would have been driven out of Zhoujia Village by her just like the third branch.

Of course, since then, the eldest branch of the Zhou family has not had an easy time in the village.

This time, no one knew what method the cheap cousin had used to help their family escape...

Zhou Lingling suddenly smiled.

She had a premonition that she and Zhou Qianqian would meet again.

Let's wait and see.

The most important thing now is to go back and tell my parents and grandparents the good news that they are coming and prepare to welcome them.

If I'm not mistaken, the family Qizhu mentioned following the prison van is most likely the old patriarch's family...

It was she who implicated them. Once we arrive in the northern border, we will naturally have to settle them down.

I went home and rested for two days.

The brother and sister enjoyed the love from their mother very much.

If Zhou Yun, who was far away at the border, knew about this, he would probably claim that he was adopted and that his elder brother and younger sister were his parents' biological children.

Mrs. Chen was also muttering to her daughter: "You and your elder brother have lost weight these days. You've been running around since the New Year. You're always a worrywart..."

"I don't know how your second brother is doing at the border. Did you see him the last time you went there?"

Zhou Lingling was eating the freshly made pumpkin pie, turning a deaf ear to the first words, but replied with the second half of the sentence.

"I've seen it. Second brother has grown taller, but he hasn't gained weight. But he's full of energy and spirit. Don't worry, mother."

Chen sighed, "People say those barbarians kill people without mercy. It's really scary."

"They also said that the Northern Army didn't have enough to eat when they went to the battlefield, and they had to tighten their stomachs..."

Even though she usually seems mean to her second child, she loves all three children equally in her heart.

Although my daughter said that the second son was with Master Xiao and would not easily charge into battle, she would not be at ease as long as he did not come back.

Zhou Lingling certainly understood her mother's worries.

Her eyes turned, and she whispered to her mother, "This time, my brother and I have a new weapon. If nothing unexpected happens, the war on the border will be over soon."

Of course, Chen didn’t understand what the new weapons were, but that didn’t stop her from trusting her daughter!

"Really? Then your second brother will be back soon!"

Seeing that her mother finally smiled, Zhou Lingling continued to eat the fragrant and soft pumpkin cake with peace of mind.

This pumpkin was given to me by the villagers and it is very sweet.

"Mom, don't worry. Grandma and her family will be here in a couple of days. We've also bought the yard next door. Please ask the Tang family sisters-in-law to clean it up."

Speaking of the Tang family, this is another thing on Chen's mind.

"We had just arrived in Northern Xinjiang, and the two families were unfamiliar with the area, so they had been living here as sojourners. They were very diligent in cleaning and doing housework on weekdays, but they were different from Meixiang after all. They weren't our servants, so I felt a little embarrassed..."

This matter.

Zhou Lingling paused while eating the pancake. She had occasionally thought about the arrangements for the Tang family, but she had never mentioned it.

"I happen to be free these two days, so I'll ask them!"
