The fierce peasant woman is busy farming

A few days later, government officials came to the village to register people for military service.

Fortunately, our dynasty is different from the previous one, where soldiers need to bring their own dry food when serving in the military.

Although the emperor of this dynasty was poor, he was good to the people.

Military service not only provides food, but also provides military pay. Although it is not much, it is still something.

And military service does not require several years, only one year is enough.

Even if the meals are provided, I don’t know whether the food is good or whether I can eat enough. It all depends on luck.

If the boss had some conscience and deducted less, he would be able to eat his fill.

If they were unlucky and met those greedy generals, these civilians serving in the army would go hungry every day and have to do a lot of heavy work.

The conscription time is tight and we will set off in a few days.

Zhou Yue and Qing Mo were busy in the kitchen, preparing some food for Yuan Mo.

Even if you are provided with meals, you may not be able to eat enough, so you should still bring some with you if you can.

Wild boar meat and bacon chicken are marinated with seasonings, then dried over a low fire on a stone slab to make jerky. When you are hungry, eat one piece, it is fragrant and chewy.

Millet is added with salt and spices and made into fried rice. It can be eaten dry and becomes more fragrant the more you chew it.

Fry the white flour until it is charred, mix it with white sugar, and then rinse it with boiling water before eating. It will be delicious.

Qian and Chunniang were busy in the house making a new quilt, cotton coat, cotton pants, and cotton shoes for Yuan Mo.

The place we went to was further north than our home, and it was very cold there in the winter.

Although you will be given cotton-padded clothes when you get there, who knows what they look like? You must bring one with you.

I still feel that the cotton-padded clothes I used to wear are a bit thin, so now that I have new cotton, I’ll make a thicker set.

Wear it inside when the time comes, it’s warm.

Eat well and dress warmly, and don’t miss home.

After seeing Yuan Mo off, everyone was in a bad mood.

Tao Mo used to come here often to eat and drink, but he hasn't been here in the past few days.

The work in the fields was basically done, and Zhou Yue sometimes took the children to open up wasteland in the newly acquired mountain.

In fact, when they went into the mountains, no one knew what they were doing.

That valley, which Zhou Yue called Taoyuan Valley, was already familiar to Zhou Yue and his friends.

Apart from a few hares and pheasants, there is virtually no wildlife.

Yang Mo and Xuan Mo made some traps and snares and caught some pheasants and rabbits.

Zhou Yue made them all into delicious food.

Old Man Cui likes to eat it very much, especially spicy rabbit meat. He can even show off one himself.

Zhou Yue noticed Xuan Mo's great progress and was very grateful to Old Man Cui, so he paid more attention to cooking for him.

Following his taste, we developed many dishes using ingredients from our own garden and the mountains.

The family members also enjoyed the delicious food.

Seeing that the number of fish that could be caught was decreasing, Qing Mo became a little anxious.

She once again mentioned to Zhou Yue that she wanted to go to the county to find her third aunt.

This time Zhou Yue agreed, but she asked to go along.

Although he didn't have a good impression of Aunt Ning, whom he had never met before, he had a hunch that her invitation to Qing Mo to the county must be up to no good.

But there is no such thing as a 100-day defense against thieves, and sometimes you still have to turn over the cards and take a look.

The family held a meeting after dinner and decided that Zhou Yue would accompany Qing Mo and drive the donkey cart to the county.

On the morning of departure, something went wrong.

In order to facilitate the transportation of goods, the Ning family's donkey cart only had a wide carriage but no canopy.

After Zhou Yue and Qing Mo got dressed up and went to harness the donkey to the cart, they discovered Jun Mo and Dao Ge.

They hid in the carriage, covering their heads with an old cloth.

They tried to hold back their laughter under the cloth, but the adults could see it clearly.

"Jun Mo, come down, you don't want to go."

Brother Dao is coming down too, why are you guys joining in the fun?

Jun Mo had a rag on his head and shook his head.

Seeing this, Brother Dao also shook his head.

"You guys are so rebellious, come down quickly, I don't have time to waste with you.

I didn't get up so early just to argue with you two."

Qing Mo was about to hug Brother Dao, but unexpectedly Brother Dao started to show his teeth and whimper, as if he was about to get angry.

"Oh, you are getting too arrogant. You dare to show your teeth to me."

Qing Mo said this and went to find a stick.

Brother Dao is a brave man who will not suffer a loss in front of him. When he saw Qing Mo holding a stick, he immediately ran to Xuan Mo and rubbed his trouser legs.

He was whimpering in his mouth, as if he was complaining.

"Little guy, don't look for a backer, no matter who comes, it won't work."

As he said that, Qingmo went to pull Junmo, trying to carry him down.

Unexpectedly, he couldn't hold her still.

Jun Mo has been eating well recently and exercising every day. He has grown taller and his weight has almost doubled.

In addition, he was very strong and held on to the edge of the car with his hands. Qing Mo, who had already lost weight, was no match for him at all.

Zhou Yue couldn't stop laughing and went to persuade Jun Mo.

"I won't take you this time, but I'll take you next time, okay?"

Jun Mo became stubborn, even more stubborn than the donkey, and he shook his head again.

I don’t know why he insisted on going to the county.

You say he is very lively, but sometimes when we go to the market in town, he doesn't want to go with us.

You say he is a quiet person, but he wants to join in any lively scene.

"Really? More stubborn than light years. Come down quickly."

I'll bring you something delicious when I come back." Zhou Yue advised.

The stubborn donkey Guangnian was snorting beside him and thought to himself: I wouldn't do that, why are you pointing fingers at me?

"Forget it, let him go with you. He doesn't make any noise, so it's a lot easier to take him with you. Brother Dao, come down, I'll get you some bones to eat."

Qian came out to smooth things over and asked Yang Mo to pick up Brother Dao.

Well, it's not impossible to take him with me. Anyway, he is quiet and doesn't need any special care.

Guangnian had eaten good hay and beans today and was in high spirits. He harnessed the donkey cart and asked Qingmo to drive.

Zhou Yue hugged Jun Mo and Xuan Mo, and the three of them huddled together, wrapped in thin blankets.

In the morning light, a donkey cart drove out of the village and onto the official road.

When he passed by the town, he saw Cui Da waiting on the roadside, so he put Xuan Mo down and went to study with Master Cui.

Yuan Mo is not at home, so the task of sending Xuan Mo home every day falls on Zhou Yue.

Zhou Yue is going out for a few days today, and Master Cui asked Cui Da to pick up and drop off Xuan Mo every day.

After waving goodbye, the donkey cart continued to move forward.

Guangnian is a young donkey, at an age full of energy.

After it arrived at the Ning family, it felt like it had found a happy home, and the grass it ate every day contained beans.

Yuan Mo also often washes the donkey's body.

I serve Light Year like a horse, and Light Year is happy every day.

Its owner said it was very stubborn and would often kick people if it disagreed with something.

But after arriving at the Ning family, it basically never kicked anyone.

I am going on a long journey today, so I had a full meal early in the morning.

Now it spread out its four hooves and ran very fast on the deserted official road in the early morning.

Although Qingmo is not as skilled as Yuanmo in driving a carriage, he has also practiced it several times.

Today I finally had the chance to drive independently, and the car ran very steadily and fast.

After walking for a while and getting away from Liangcang Town, Zhou Yue inadvertently glanced at the bushes on the side of the road.

It seemed like I saw a white shadow.

Wolf?

Zhou Yue's hair stood on end all of a sudden.

Although there are not many wolves in the mountains, it is said that there are a group of dozens of them.

Wolves are social animals and they will not easily come down the mountain to where humans live.

Although wolves are smart, united, and ruthless, their IQ is ultimately lower than that of humans.

Therefore, they adhere to the principle of keeping out of other people's way and will not actively attack humans unless absolutely necessary.

Such official roads are busy with people during the day, and sometimes there may be cars passing by at night.

Wolves, especially lone wolves, would not dare to stay here.
