Doomsday Farmhouse Tour

After resting in the inn for one night, the next day, we started to carry the food in the coolness of the early morning.There is more than one granary in the town, and Lu Xiao collected more than half of the granary in each granary under the pretext of inspection.Such a large amount of food not only alleviated the previous consumption of rice and noodles, but the rest was enough to feed thousands of people for another two years.This also made Lu Xiao's heart that was hanging in the air instantly drop to the ground.With these grains, the speed of rebuilding the county will be much faster.

"Accompany me to the cloth shop. I remember some cloths are very good." Lu Xiao took Chang An and the two children out of the granary, where Shi Lei took care of it temporarily.Shi Lei is honest, they still trust him.

The huge town is empty, which makes people feel gloomy.Chang An led the two children with mixed feelings in his heart.That day when Lu Xiao was preparing for the exam, he was still imagining how great it would be if he could come to the town for a stroll one day.Now it's really here, but it's such a desolate scene.Such prosperity can only be left in a dream...

"What are you thinking about?" Lu Xiao picked up a piece of fine silk gauze and looked at it carefully. As the weather got hotter, there were more mosquitoes.The adults in the family could still sit still, but the children grinned from being bitten by bugs.

"I used to fantasize about whether my husband would bring me to the town to see if I was nominated for the gold list one day, but now I come..." Chang An was not very interested in the various fabrics in front of him. Wearing exquisite fabrics has lost the initial enthusiasm.

"It will always pass, and I will bring you to see the lanterns." Lu Xiao understood Chang'an's regret and said as if promising.Divided the fabric into roughly [-]% and picked two ready-made garments for the children, and asked them to change them later.

After all, it is a child, and it is full of joy after changing into new clothes.Looking at the innocent smiling faces around him who seemed to have no trace of worries and worries, Chang An's brows and eyes became more gentle.

"Silk brocades are usually expensive, but up to now they are not as practical as pure cotton." Chang'an piled up high-quality cotton cloth one by one, and watched people put them into the space steadily.

"Most expensive things are delicate and delicate, so we can't stand the harsh environment now." Lu Xiao nodded in agreement, then swept all the packed fabrics into the space, and told the two children not to speak out.The two children naturally nodded obediently, pulling on the new clothes and looking left and right, not to mention how cute they are.

In addition to collecting fabrics, Lu Xiao also took away a large amount of carbon fire, which was enough to survive the long winter.Taking away all the things that can be preserved in the town for a long time, this time Lu Xiao has made up his mind to quickly expand his power, so this search is naturally merciless.

By the time Lu Xiao finished shopping around with Chang'an, the bodyguard team had already loaded up the food and waited at the gate of the granary.Shi Lei has already checked the firmness of the hemp rope, and he can leave when Lu Xiao comes back.

The way back was very peaceful, and when refugees approached by chance, they were allowed to go to the county seat by themselves.Wei Xun has already set up a shed in the county to supervise the work. Although most of the refugees who seek refuge now are scattered, the accumulation is objective.

Lu Xiao's biggest requirement for everyone who works in the Lu family is to be strict in speech. Now, no one except himself knows that Lu Xiao is actually rebuilding the county.

The bluestones in the county town were shipped from other places, and when they arrived, they were piled up one by one.As for the land for planting, there is no need to worry too much. As long as the private houses of the rich and powerful officials are distributed, and the precious flowers are pulled out, they can continue to grow food.

Although there were also encounters with wild beasts on the subsequent journey, they were far less severe than that time.After an absence of more than ten days, I returned to Lujia Village again.According to the usual practice, the grain should be transported to the back mountain first, and then sent to the cellar at night.

Lu's father, Lu Mo, was very accepting of the sudden appearance of the two children, especially when he knew that he had suffered a lot at a young age and saved his daughter-in-law.

Lu Ma looked at the two skinny children and hurriedly steamed egg custard for them.In Lu Mo's eyes, there is nothing more nutritious than eggs.Compared to Mu An, who was a picky eater since childhood, these two children can eat anything.

"After all these days, has anything happened in the village?" Lu Xiao took the slightly cooled polenta and drank it slowly.At this moment, Chang An is hugging Mu An and kissing non-stop. Mu An is just the funniest age, making the whole family laugh non-stop.

After laughing, Father Lu couldn't help sighing.Although it was only a dozen days, many things happened in the village.The most direct is that a woman in the village threw herself into a well.

There is an old saying that there is a knife on the head of the color character, and many people fall on this knife.Originally thought that the previous incident of the beast horde had taught people a lesson, and the ghost knew how to advance and retreat, but it was obviously not the case.Probably because they thought that Lu Xiao could drive back the beast hordes, but very few people never took this matter to heart.

"What happened last time isn't over yet, why are they so unwilling to be lonely?" The bowl of corn porridge was placed on the table, and Lu Xiao was so angry that he almost wanted to rush into the village head's house to ask for clarification.Originally, the village chief said that his son was just an accomplice, but now he found that it was far from the case.

When Lu Xiao went back and forth to the county seat, another group of refugees came to Lujia Village.These refugees were turned away, but no one could sneak out.It's just that no one thought that this group of people would have three wives and four concubines instead of sneaking out.

I spent a lot of food in the family to buy a woman and brother from refugee traffickers. There is no surplus food in such a year.The woman who threw the well was called Qin Niang, and she had always had a good reputation in the village. Although the family didn't have much surplus food, they lived in harmony.Who knows that the end of the world will change as soon as it comes, perhaps because there is no real drought in Lujia Village near the water source, so many people have no sense of crisis.

Qinniang's husband had a few contacts with a long-term worker when he went out to hire a long-term worker, and he quickly had a hot fight with a strange woman among the refugees.Without a word or two, he took almost all the food in the family and bought the woman from refugee traffickers.

Taking such things for granted is like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the family was suddenly turned upside down.Qinniang's father-in-law naturally looked down on the woman who was bought, not to mention there were two half-grown grandchildren at home who wanted to eat.Where did the surplus food come from? Just a little field can barely support their big family.

Although hiring long-term laborers to reclaim wasteland only needs to be responsible for food and housing, before the fields are plowed and the food is not harvested, they have to use their savings to support them.Such a move is tantamount to drawing salary from the bottom of the pot, and it is too muddled.

Qin Niang wanted to force her husband to bring back the food, but at this time her husband was cowardly.The food has all been in the hands of the traffickers. Who would spit out the food in their mouths these days.

During the quarrel between the two, the man felt that he had lost face and couldn't help but tugged.Accidentally pushed the woman to the side of the boiler, and the whole pot of hot water was poured directly on the child who came to persuade him to fight.The scalding hot water directly scalded off a layer of skin, and it was so painful that I couldn't scream.

"I went to see that child as soon as he was burned. The injury was so severe and there were not enough medicinal materials... He had a fever that night, so he just went there. The other little one was scared stupid and became an idiot." Lu Father kept smoking while talking, which shows that he still has lingering fears when he mentions it.Lu Mo wiped away tears silently, what a good child Wen'er was.

"The businessman was introduced by the village head and his son. Liu Shuhe told me that the man had taken advantage of him. The woman arranged it early..." Father Lu gritted his teeth when he said this. If you deal with others, you will count people in your own village.

Listening to what Father Lu said, Lu Xiao felt as cold as the twelfth lunar month in winter.It was Lu Jing who understood that the people in the village were used to being protected.It's okay now, I'm afraid that something is not as simple as stabbing a knife in the back.If it is those refugees who have suffered, they will not risk their lives because of stuttering.

"How did you deal with this in the end?" Lu Xiao handed Mu An over to Lu Mo, and the family servants also cleaned up the empty room and arranged for Xiu Ming and Xiu Yan to stay.Now there are only Lu Xiao and his son in the main hall, so naturally there is nothing to worry about.

"How to deal with it? The village chief has suppressed him! After paying for the food lost by the family, the woman was kicked out, and after more than half a year, she went outside to buy a clean one... Mother Qin died in vain. It's just a pitiful stay The child who was born doesn't know how to live with a stepmother!" Father Lu became even angrier after he finished speaking, because his temperament is the most annoying thing.It's not like he hasn't seen that woman before, she looks like a dusty woman.

"This man has to be taught a lesson, and then the village chief will continue to protect him... Our village is probably going to be destroyed by him!" Chang'an just happened to hear it, and couldn't help but get angry.They are all people who have become aunts, and he also has a deep understanding of Qinniang's despair back then.I think back then when Mu An had a fever, his heart ached like a needle prick.

"Don't worry, there are plenty of opportunities to teach him a lesson." Lu Xiao pulled him to his side, his face as if covered with frost.He is greedy for money and lustful, so it is easy to teach him a lesson.Not for anything else, just for those two innocent lives!

It's too easy for Lu Xiao to punish a person, not to mention that this time he never thought of showing mercy.According to the news he had received before, there were quite a few widows in the village chief's son and the village, and he could afford to expose one at random.Ancient times are not modern times, and the past cannot be covered up by a romantic affair.

Taking advantage of the time to inspect the mountains at noon on the second day, I discussed with Lu Jing and Liu Shuhe.It doesn't take much brains to deal with such a person, if it wasn't for the dirty and disgusting things... Lu Xiao didn't plan to treat him like this.Although the village chief has broken up with him now, he still took good care of the Lu family in the past.

...

That night, the night was dim, and the reflections of the branches were constantly swaying by the wind.The creaking sound was particularly ear-piercing, and through the screen window, two figures, one dark and one shallow, could be seen tightly entwined.As the two of them moved, the wooden bed shook more and more, and when they were both in a state of confusion... a white shadow appeared between the windows...

"what……"

There were screams in the supposedly quiet night, accompanied by the sound of the wooden bed suddenly collapsing under the weight.Suddenly there was a series of barking dogs, and the villagers who were already asleep were awakened.He quickly lit the lamp, put on his clothes and went out.

At such a special time, this scream naturally attracted more than one person, and the men from the neighbors rushed over quickly.I couldn't see anything clearly in the night, I just thought it was a thief.He took a stick and threw it at people, and the person who hit him kept screaming.After a while, people will realize that the person who was beaten was naked... It was a steal, but it was a person who stole...

At this moment, Lu Jing arrived with his escort team.The villagers who came to join in the fun followed behind, and everyone was excited... When they got close, they were all dumbfounded.
