When attacked and worn as a farmer's daughter-in-law

It is also the border, some of which are connected by flat land, and beyond the boundary marker is the neighboring country, what's more, the two villages are separated by the border, and they can pass by raising their feet.Some have natural dangers to defend, and the two countries are separated by high mountains and great rivers.

Linshan County belongs to the latter. The Zejia Mountains lie between the Jing Dynasty and the Meng Kingdom. It is said to be a border area, but in fact the two sides have no intersection at all. Only when the two countries are at war can it be affected here, except for bandits. , the situation here is fairly calm on weekdays.

Linshan County is already remote enough, Fang Tianlin and his group's final destination, Huanggu, is one of the most remote places in Linshan County.Before everyone entered the barren valley, there was almost no trace of people, and if they walked a little further in, there was no trace of people.

The carriage was driving on a weedy and rugged mountain road, and the speed was not much better than that of a turtle. It was a strenuous effort to go uphill and downhill.Fang Tianlin and his party set off from Yanzhou City to Linshan County, but it took more than ten days. From Linshan County to Huanggu, the straight-line distance is less than a hundred miles, and it took five days. It is really hard to describe.

For this, Fang Tianlin would also like to thank that this place is not as difficult and dangerous as the Shu Road. At least horse-drawn carriages are allowed to pass through here, but it only takes a little effort. If the road is narrow enough, it will only take more time for them.

Traveling through such a place, the carriage will be a drag instead, and it may be faster to walk with two feet.But Fang Tianlin had no choice. A horse-drawn cart might pull one or two thousand kilograms of cargo, and it would be considered good if it could carry more than 200 kilograms.Don't forget that most of the horses in the convoy are just the most ordinary horses, and their carrying capacity is limited. Judging from the amount of supplies they carry, after the carriage is disassembled, all the goods cannot be taken away.

This point, not only Fang Tianlin, I am afraid that no one in the field will allow it.In Yunzhou City, as long as you have money, you can buy anything, and Huanggu is obviously not good. Even if you ride a horse without a heavy load, you don't have to go back and forth for a day or two.

In this way, the supplies they carried were extremely precious, not to mention many of them were not available locally, and they couldn't replenish them even if they wanted to. After they were used up, they could only replace them with other items.

"Here we are, the first team will go in with me to check the situation, and the rest will rest on the spot." Fang Tianlin stood on the entrance of the valley, with the sun shining on his body, coating it with a layer of gold. For some reason, this moment was a bit dizzying.

Everyone blinked their eyes to shake off such unreliable thoughts. When they opened their eyes again, Master Fang was still the same Master Fang, except that he was better than them, there was no other difference.Everyone thought at the same time that it must have been an illusion just now, probably because they were tired these days, and when they settled down and had a good rest, this abnormality would no longer appear on their bodies.

Fang Tianlin took people through Huanggu once, and he had a rough plan in mind.According to his visual estimation, the actual area of ​​Huanggu should be much larger than that registered by the county government. It must not be less than [-] mu, maybe nearly [-] mu.

There is a small lake in the valley, covering an area of ​​about [-] acres, where all the mountain streams converge, and then flow into the distance from another outlet of the barren valley.

The entire barren valley looks like a lying gourd, with three entrances and exits. One is where they came from, that is, the position of the gourd mouth.The other exit is the end of the lake, which is located in the hollow in the middle of the gourd. Unfortunately, it is a deep stream, and it is impossible to enter and exit normally from there.The last exit is at the bottom of the gourd, leading to the depths of the mountain.

When Fang Tianlin led the team back to Taniguchi, the crowd had already cleared out a place, the simple stove was set up, the cooking smoke wafted up, and the smell of food wafted in front of everyone, causing them to swallow their saliva unconsciously.

"Father, come and eat!" Shen Zhang shouted loudly.

Fang Tianlin jumped off the horse, handed the reins to the guards behind him, and came to the daughter-in-law and children in two or three steps. He put his hands under the armpit to support Shen Zhang, causing him to "giggle" and laugh.

Previously, the conditions were limited, and most of the time they ate dry food. Everyone hadn’t eaten a decent meal for many days, and their desire for food was almost at its peak.

Fang Tianlin also had a face full of enjoyment, and when he was happy to eat, his eyes almost narrowed into a slit.

The weather in the southwestern area of ​​Jingchao is extremely hot and humid, and snakes, insects, rats and ants are everywhere, but it is not bad. At least there are quite a lot of food here, but not many people dare to break into the deep mountains and old forests.Bitten by a poisonous substance, it is estimated that his life will be confessed in the mountains. If he is not forced to a dead end, who would run desperately up the mountain?

Fang Tianlin had already selected a possible residence several months ago, so he made perfect preparations in advance. In addition to a small amount of high-quality medicine made by himself, he also bought a lot of anti-insect, miasma and detoxification medicine from the medical clinic. Not to mention wound medicine and the like, there is a lot of it to carry.If it weren't for the expiration date, he would only bring more.

"Tianlin, shall we go back?" Shen Jiahe asked in a low voice, his face a little melancholy.Bandits are raging here, and getting in and out is a problem. If there are few people, it is very easy to become the target of being robbed, but they only have more than 100 people in total. It is impossible not to keep people here. How many people can they take out?That's where the manpower hangs.

Fang Tianlin paused while holding the chopsticks, looked up at the valley, and said without any concealment: "I'm not sure, but I shouldn't be able to leave for the time being."

Hearing these words, Shen Jiahe was not too surprised, otherwise he would not have asked the question just now, obviously he is ready to settle here.

Shen Jiahe didn't have much objection to this, but he couldn't help thinking about his relatives far away: "Then parents..."

"When we are settled here, we will send someone to pick them up, or we can just go there and pick up our parents and brothers." Fang Tianlin didn't say to let Mr. Shen and the others choose by themselves, as long as his side develops smoothly , the relatives of the Shen family have no choice, if they don't come, they will be taken away as a threat. There is no doubt about this, unless he has been honest all his life and will not do anything.Obviously this is impossible, otherwise, wouldn't the inheritance left to him by the Qianyuan clan be in vain?

This is not what Fang Tianlin did on purpose. Before he set foot in the barren valley, he did not expect that it would take so long to come here, and it was far more chaotic than he had heard. At least the mountain road is not so easy to walk. I can only live in a corner, and it is an extravagant hope to travel long distances.

Once it comes, it will be at ease, Shen Jiahe will never make things difficult for himself, since the matter is a foregone conclusion, he will not think about it, but talk about very practical issues: "After the house is built in two days, I will give it to my father. Mother sends a letter to save them from worrying about us."

"Well, you should think about it too. We didn't think enough before we came out, and we won't be able to go back in a short time. Many things have to be explained clearly." Fang Tianlin strongly agrees with this.This time he was indeed not thoughtful enough. The reason for such a large error in estimation was mainly because Jingchao’s traffic was too backward, and it was not as peaceful as his country in his previous life.

Shen Jiahe nodded in response, he had a lot to say to his parents, and he had to think carefully.

After lunch and a short rest, Fang Tianlin led the convoy to the place he had hoped for before—the valley highland in Huanggu Neigu.The valley as a whole shows a trend of high in the west and low in the east, with flat terrain and little ups and downs. Considering the possibility of waterlogging, it is very necessary to choose a relatively high place.

As soon as he arrived at the place, Shen Jiahe gave orders according to the plan agreed with Fang Tianlin before, and all the teams took action immediately.

The first thing that Fang Tianlin and his team need to solve is the housing problem. There is abundant rain in the southwestern region, and it is the early autumn season. It will rain every three to five days. If the accommodation is not settled, there is no place to unload the goods on the carriage. .Not only that, people also have no sense of security. Who wants to sleep in the wilderness for a long time?

Because it is a valley, it is easy to cause landslides. Fang Tianlin especially emphasized that the trees on the mountain should not be cut down indiscriminately. If you cut down a tree, you have to replace it.

After an afternoon of work, everyone urgently built a few thatched houses, which are enough to keep out the wind and rain. The real houses will have to wait for a while, and the trees that have just been felled cannot be used immediately unless they are not used. Consider lifespan.

Fang Tianlin has tried his best to plan carefully, and even brought a doctor, but it can't be perfect, for example, the ratio of male to female is seriously out of balance.This is impossible. Before he came, he knew that this trip would not be easy. If there were too many women with him, it was unknown whether he would be able to arrive safely.The fleet has only so much load, and supplies will take up a large part of it, and the remaining space can not carry many people.The number of people is relatively fixed. If there are too many women, the number of men must be reduced. This is obviously not worthwhile in the early stage.

After a tiring day, everyone went to bed early.

"Ugh-"

Fang Tianlin was startled suddenly, and after hearing clearly that it was a wolf howling, he immediately put on his clothes and got out of the carriage to go to the night watch team.

"what's the situation?"

"It's a wolf. Judging from the howling, it's not close to here. Don't worry about the wolves visiting here for the time being."

Fang Tianlin is also aware of this, his hearing is stronger than that of the night watchmen, there is no reason why others can tell, but he is still at a loss: "Be careful these few days, don't be careless."

"Yes, sir."

Fang Tianlin turned around and saw that everyone was sticking to their posts, so he got into the carriage again.He took people to check the entire valley during the day, and there were no ferocious beasts, so there was no need to worry too much about being attacked by wild beasts in the middle of the night.

Looking at his wife and children who were sleeping soundly, Fang Tianlin had a smile on his face.Although the roars of beasts from the depths of the mountains rang in his ears from time to time, he still felt that this place made him more comfortable than Yunzhou City.Here, he smelled the long-lost freedom. The conditions were not good, and he created it himself.

Fang Tianlin pursed his lips subconsciously, his eyes were shining brightly, which looked particularly eye-catching in the dark night, no matter how bright it was, he could be treated as a nocturnal creature.It feels so good not to be controlled by others, Fang Tianlin fell into a deep sleep with this thought.

The second day was crisp and clear, and it was a rare good weather.

Fang Tianlin led a team to search the vicinity of the residence carefully, and harvested several snakes, dozens of pheasants and hares, and a lot of wild eggs.Afterwards, he drew a isolation zone, and ordered people to remove all the weeds on it, and then set fire to burn all the weeds in the isolation zone.

After finishing this, everyone started to level the land, all the gravel and mud were sorted and piled aside, and the wood was also stepped up, trying to build the houses in the shortest possible time.

Due to the poor conditions, all the houses are a combination of wooden houses and bamboo houses, similar to houses on stilts. There are only a few load-bearing wooden columns at the bottom, about two meters high, and the upper floor is really used for living.

Fang Tianlin adopts a unified plan. The houses in the same row have the same specifications. So far, there are four types of houses designed, three bedrooms and one living room, four bedrooms and one living room, and five bedrooms and one living room. No matter how big it is, it is unnecessary.The remaining one is connected single-bedroom, which is the most suitable for the current situation.

The people Fang Tianlin brought here are not many with families, and most of them are single. One room is enough, and it is a waste to grow old.

Time passed quickly, and soon, the first real house was completed.

Since there are no firecrackers, only firecrackers can be used to celebrate.After a crackling sound, Fang Tianlin's family climbed up the stairs.

"Daddy, Father, we have a new house!" The triplets were all very excited, and as soon as they finished speaking, they had already rushed upstairs.

This is different from any house they lived in before. The little ones looked very fresh, and it took a long time before they calmed down after touching things here and there.

Now is not the time to be particular about it, Fang Tianlin's family only wanted a house with five bedrooms and one living room. Although it was much smaller than the Shen's house in Yunzhou City, the distance between people was shortened.

Due to the shortage of manpower, houses with more than three bedrooms were built close to the existing families. After the number was enough, the work was stopped and all efforts were concentrated on the single rooms in the row.

Each single room has four beds, and more than 100 people can be accommodated in twenty or thirty rooms.

During this time, other people are fine, but the masons and carpenters are really busy.Although the masons can't do much, the construction of the house depends on them, not just anyone.With them directing and supervising, the possibility of shabby projects is minimized.

With everyone's concerted efforts, the construction progress of the house is very fast.One room, two rooms... People moved into new houses one after another, and those who didn't get their turn were envious.

As soon as they moved into the new house, Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe each wrote a letter, and the triplets also came to join in the fun, expressing their miss to their grandparents, uncles and brothers.

Fang Tianlin also specially made a pair of thumb-sized tokens, one of which was delivered to Mr. Shen by Pigeon No. [-]. If Fang Tianlin and the others failed to meet in person, they would use another token that matched it to pick him up.

"Tianlin, can No. [-] deliver the letter safely to Dad?" After releasing No. [-], Shen Jiahe began to worry about gains and losses.Although they have tried short distances, but thousands of kilometers away, who can guarantee that there will be no accidents in the middle?Leaving aside other considerations for the time being, it is an extremely difficult task for Guang-[-] to find a place and successfully arrive at Shen's Mansion in Yunzhou City.Not to mention the wind and rain, the threat of other raptors, there are too many unpredictable things, and it is no wonder that Shen Jiahe is anxious.

"No. [-] is flying very fast, and we will definitely be able to return in a month at the latest. If we haven't received a reply by then, we will release No. [-]. I don't believe that we are so slow, and the three pigeons are used up, and we can't do it yet." Deliver the letter. Besides, don’t parents still have two carrier pigeons? If they fail to receive our news after the appointed time, they will also release No. [-] and No. [-]. One or two may have an accident, The probability of accidents happening to five cats in a row is almost zero. Just relax and have more confidence in No. [-], you and I know what's going on with them, don't you?" Fang Tianlin wasn't blindly confident.Not to mention the most powerful No. [-], even the other four should not be underestimated.They drink space water all the year round, and their physical fitness is no longer what it used to be. In addition, they are very clever, and the chance of getting lost is greatly reduced. Fang Tianlin has confidence in them.

Having said that, seeing that Shen Jiahe was still in a low mood, Fang Tianlin suggested: "Bi'er and the others haven't been able to let go of their hands and feet to play for a long time. Let's take them to the lake to play. What do you think?"

Sure enough, using a child to divert attention was a hundred tests, and Shen Jiahe quickly cheered up from his disappointment: "Okay, I'll go get ready."

The furnishings of each house in the valley are very simple, even the Shen family is no exception.The room they lived in only had a wooden bed, a set of tables and chairs, and a cabinet. The rest of the room was basically empty.This is already the preferential treatment of the Shen family. Most of the houses that other people live in can only be laid on the ground floor.

In this regard, no one complained.The fact that the Shen family doesn't do anything special is beyond their expectations.Looking at Jingchao, which servant can live similarly to the master?If anyone complains about this difference, the saliva of other people can drown them.

Shen Jiahe dug out a few straw hats from the room, and went to the warehouse to ask for a fishing net... After all the busy work, there was no trace of melancholy.Sure enough, when people get busy, their mood will naturally improve.

The lake is not far from where they live. Fang Tianlin and the others took a carriage and arrived at the lake in less than half an hour.

Huanggu has a suitable climate, much better than Yanzhou Port, at least the current temperature is very suitable for travel, not too hot.This is probably due to the terrain. The barren valley is a valley with its own climate. Compared with the great plain at the same latitude, it is more livable.

The shore of the lake is untouched all year round, and most places cannot be set foot.Fang Tianlin and the others walked along the lake for a long time before finding a suitable place to go down to the lake.Now everyone doesn't have the energy to take care of this, they don't even have the simplest bamboo raft, and the fishing nets in the Shenjia River are better than nothing.

Fang Tianlin stood on the bank and threw the fishing net into the lake at will. After that, he and Shen Jiahe grabbed one side and waited quietly.

"Daddy, can't you use the internet?" Among the three children, Shen Zhang was the most impatient. Even so, he waited for at least an incense stick before asking, which was already better than most of his peers.

Shen Jiahe didn't have any experience in fishing, so he could only turn his gaze to Fang Tianlin.

"..." Four pairs of dark eyes stared at him, Fang Tianlin couldn't bear it.He didn't dare to delay, and said directly, "Wait a minute, here is the lake, there won't be many fish, and the net is small, the first shot must be fired."

"Oh, that's it." The triplets were a little disappointed, even Shen Jiahe was the same.

It's not that he has bad patience, but mainly because there are no trees here, and the piles can only be driven after the guards come back from cutting the wood. If he keeps pulling the fishing net, his hands are sore. If it weren't for his strength, he would have been unable to hold it.

Fang Tianlin soon realized this, and he no longer clinged to his previous thoughts: "It's almost done, let's work together to pull the fishing net up."

Before Shen Jiahe could reply, the triplets jumped out first: "Father, we also want to help."

"Okay!" Fang Tianlin did not refuse, and handed the end of the rope to Shen Huang, "Huang'er help father, Bi'erzhang'er help your father."

As soon as Fang Tianlin spoke, the three brothers immediately took their positions, and the five of them chanted and worked together.

Before Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe kept their fishing nets from being taken away by the lake water, it was relatively easy for them, but now that they are putting so much effort, the resistance in their hands has increased significantly.Even with the help of children, it took a lot of effort to bring the fishing net to the shore bit by bit.

"Daddy, look quickly, what a big fish!" Shen Bi exclaimed.

Shen Jiahe was also surprised, but thinking about how uninhabited this place is, it is not known if anyone has set foot here in a year, so it makes sense that there are big fish in the lake.However, there are big fish activities on the shore, there are probably a lot of fish and shrimps in the lake, and they are not afraid that there will be no fish to eat in the future. This is very good news for them.

Thinking of this, the corners of Shen Jiahe's mouth raised slightly.

Who doesn't want to live comfortably?Seafood is not extravagant, and there are delicacies from mountains and rivers, and the days will not be bad.

"Come on, everyone, work harder and follow the chant I yelled." Fang Tianlin gathered everyone's attention back, "One, two, pull, do it again..."

Shen Huang was the weakest of them all, he could not help much, he almost pulled the rope with all his strength.After a few pulls, a pair of small hands were strangled with several marks of different shades.

The guards next to him saw it and wanted to go up to help, but Fang Tianlin and the others didn't speak, and they couldn't move well.This is probably a game for the masters, if they participate, the fun will be lost.

"Okay!" After dragging the fishing net to the shore, Fang Tianlin dropped the rope and stepped forward to check.

The triplets also cheered and ran to the net.

The fishing net is not big, only two or three meters long, but Fang Tianlin and the others have harvested quite a lot this time, at least dozens of catties.

Shen Zhang was the most skinny, he directly picked up a fat-headed fish that was about a foot long, and ran to the edge of the Shenjia River, his eyes were shining brightly, Shen Jiahe's heart softened when he saw it, and he swallowed back the scolding that came to his mouth.This little guy was overwhelmed with complacency again. Can a normal six-year-old child be able to hold such a big fish?This is a live fish, with great strength and slippery body, it is difficult for a child under five years old to just catch it, let alone hold it in his arms so easily.

Shen Jiahe touched Shen Zhang's head, took the fish from his arms, and put it on the wooden barrel placed aside.Forget it, let's not talk about him, even if the child's strength is spread, it will not cause trouble, as long as he is happy.
