reborn as a brother

Carefully clean up the cave.

Looking at the sun, it is already Si time.

Because of the little fat man, Wang Baoer and Ji Aqiang stayed where they were, picked up some dead branches as firewood, found some suitable stones, and built a simple earthen stove.

Ji Anyi and the other four walked back and forth between the mountains in pairs.

Xiao Huang and Da Huang didn't follow anyone, they were happily playing by themselves.

When we came, we had already discussed it, and we had lunch in the mountains, and we carried everything on our backs.

It's not too complicated, just took some rice and pots, as well as seasonings such as oil and salt, bowls and chopsticks.

It will be autumn, and there are still many good things to be found in the mountains.

After happily playing for more than half an hour, the four of them happily returned to the waterfall with a lot of harvest.

What should be washed, what should be cleaned up.

Each of them got the job, and they were busy while talking, the atmosphere was lively and tense, showing warmth and relaxation.

The bamboo mat was too big to hold, so the little fat man couldn't play on the ground, so he had to be hugged by Ah Mo. He was very dishonest, twisted left and right, and babbled when he thought of playing by the water Acridine, big round eyes, black and bright, extra spirit.

Wang Baoer couldn't do anything, so she stayed with the little fat man and watched him closely.

"This fish is suitable for steaming." Seeing the fish that Ji Aqiang cleaned up, Ji Anyi's eyes lit up.A very fat fish. "With fewer thorns and tender meat, even a little fat man can drink two mouthfuls of fresh fish soup."

Not being able to play freely, the little fat man was a little unhappy, and when he heard someone calling his name, he yelled and danced.

"I'm excited when I hear something delicious." Wang Baoer gently pinched his chubby face.

Wang Xiaoer answered the call at the side. "Daughter-in-law, why don't we cook the pheasant?"

"Stir-fry, the fried chicken last time is really delicious." Xie Qi likes spicy food, but it's too bland for him to eat.

Brother Zhang San said dully. "Didn't you say stir-fried rabbit meat?"

"I'll give you all fresh ways to eat." Ji Anyi was so happy this time, he decided to get a beggar's chicken.

"How does the snake eat?" Wang Baoer asked curiously.

right.There is also a snake.Ji Anyi thought for a while and said. "Snake stew soup, fish stew soup, stir-fried rabbit meat, and a whole plate of beggar chicken and mushroom stir-fried meat. Let's grill these fish directly, it's almost done."

"Flower Chicken? What is a daughter-in-law called Flower Chicken?" This name is really awkward.Wang Xiaoer asked suspiciously.

The others didn't understand, and all their eyes were on him, waiting for the answer.

Uh, beggar chicken.

Ji Anyi smirked twice. "I heard Boss Su say it once in a while, so I paid attention to it. Now that I think about it, I want to try to make it. Boss Su said at the time that the beggar chicken tastes very good, and the method is very novel. It turned out to be Wrap the whole chicken with leaves, then smear a layer of yellow mud, bury it under the fire and slowly boil it. He just said so, I don’t know much about it, no, I want to try it when my hands are itchy .”

"Can you still eat like this? The method is too strange." Wang Baoer muttered.

Brother Zhang San said. "Listening to it for the first time, it was an eye-opener."

"Daughter-in-law, I'll go dig the yellow mud." It happened that the snake had been cleaned up, cut into pieces and put in a bowl. Wang Xiaoer put the bowl down and said something with great interest.

"I'm going with you, and I have to find a kind of leaf." Ji Anyi was going to find taro leaves, and Ye Da also had a delicate fragrance.

With Ji Anyi in charge, even in the mountains, he can prepare a hearty lunch.

All of them were full of food, leaning against the tree trunk, looking at the waterfall in front of them, and heard the sound of rushing water, which was very loud, but not noisy, but had a calming effect.Of course, it is very likely to be related to mentality.

They are weak ordinary people, unable to control the war, and can only do their best to find a reliable way out before the coming troubled times.

One day, when the war broke out, and they came to this small mountain village, they were neither panic nor afraid, and they could still live steadily.

"After we go back, let's go to the village head. There are some confidential news that we can't tell, but we can reveal that the upper echelon has been restless in the past six months, and they don't care about the drought, and they don't care about the people. After hearing this news, I think the village head will definitely Guess something, I reckon, the village head may have already made a move, Tuo Xin asked the two sons who are far outside, what is going on outside. We can all feel the subtlety of the matter, and the village head cannot possibly fail to figure it out Arrived." Ji Anyi shared his thoughts.

There has really been a war, and I hope Hexi Village can survive this disaster.After all, life in the whole village gradually became prosperous. Even if there was a drought, everyone didn't panic. After all, they still had a way to survive. After half a year, everything will be fine in the coming year.

Unexpectedly, these years, it is really a combination of natural disasters and man-made disasters.

After finally getting through the drought, it seems that there will be another war.

I hope the battle for the throne will end soon.It is a wise and benevolent king who gets the throne.

The longer this matter takes, the only ones who suffer are the common people.

It really hurt the innocent.

"That's good. If you reveal too much, I'm afraid that Boss Su will cause trouble. After telling the news, the village chief will definitely take action. The most important thing is to hide all the food." Food is life-saving. , I don’t know when the work will be finished this year, so I can store more food and feel more at ease.Brother Zhang San now feels that the continuous mountains around Hexi Village are cute no matter how they look. Fortunately, they are a solid wall.

Xie Qi nodded and said. "The daughter-in-law is right. Everything else is fine, as long as the food is stored properly. No matter how chaotic the life is, there is still a way to survive."

"We have to go in and out recently, and we come to build a bamboo house to carry food, etc. What should we do if we attract the attention of the villagers? Tell the village chief about this?" Ji Aqiang asked from the side.

"I think a lot. When something really happens, the whole village's grain will be stored together. I'm afraid that there will be soft-legged shrimps in our village, and some kind of selfish people, etc. There are too many differences at the moment of life and death. Indeed, I don’t want to put our lives on the line. That’s what I thought, taking advantage of the bright moonlight at night, in these two nights, we carried all the things we bought into the cave and hid them carefully. Too much, I've been busy all night tonight, so it should be almost done."

After a pause, Ji Anyi said again. "Tell the news to the village chief tomorrow. As for building a bamboo house, let's put it aside for now. Something happened. We can't stay in the village anymore. We can only hide in the mountains. There are caves. We can live first and then build the house. Look, is this possible?"

"Okay. This method is appropriate." Wang Baoer replied with a smile. "Ji Ge'er is right. When something really happens, at the moment of life and death, he will usually take his own life more seriously. Who knows what unscrupulous means will be used. Moreover, when that time comes, the village I'm afraid I can't suppress it for a long time."

Brother Zhang San also spoke. "I also think this is a good idea. I think we can tell the village chief about this idea. There are many mountains around our village, and everyone can find a place to hide their food. Then some things can be avoided."

"Yes. My daughter-in-law's words are good." Xie Qi followed with a smile.

Wang Xiaoer glanced at the sky above his head. "I hope the moonlight is good tonight."

After talking seriously for nearly half an hour, everything was decided, and everyone packed up and went back.

When you get home, organize all the items you bought so that you can carry them better.

After eating dinner and taking a shower, they didn't go back to the house. They all stayed in the kitchen, looking at the whole Hexi Village through the window. The last light went out, and everyone still didn't move. When he was asleep, he quietly started to carry it.

The sky is full of stars tonight, the moonlight is beautiful, and the sky is finally in tune.

Ji Anyi deliberately took the little ginseng out of the space, and asked him to take care of the little fat man who was sleeping. Even the two dogs, Xiao Huang and Da Huang, also helped, carrying some lighter items.

Under the moonlight, a few people cautiously entered the mountain, and it was fine once they entered the mountain. The dense forest completely blocked their figures.

"Daughter-in-law. Are you tired?" After walking for a while in the mountains, Wang Xiaoer approached Ji Anyi, asked in a low voice, paused, and then said. "Daughter-in-law, I can still carry a bag of rice. I'll help you carry it for a while, and you take a break. Listen, I'm not out of breath."

"Not tired." Ji Anyi replied in a calm tone as much as possible.

Walking at night, especially carrying heavy items, is really a sin.

There is no road in this mountain at all. When I came out during the day, I originally wanted to cut a road, and it would be easier to carry at night.

But I remembered that if I cut a road, I would tell others clearly where we store grain.

They decidedly couldn't do this. In order not to leave any traces, when they came out, they deliberately changed their way.

Now it is also a different way to enter the mountain, it is farther than in the daytime, and you have to take some detours.

One to one, one to one, at least two full hours. There is no rest in between, and non-stop movements. In the whole night, I can barely carry it twice. People in the village get up early and wake up when the cock crows. It was Maoshi, and they were on their way back for their second shipment.

Fortunately, there are not too many people and things, so it is enough to carry it twice.

Others are lying comfortably on the bed and dreaming sweet dreams, but there is a group of people who are sweating and panting and busy with their lives.

For others, the night passes quickly, and they have to get up and do things again at dawn.

For Ji Anyi and the others, the night was finally over, and they could finally rest and sleep.

Never been so tired.

When he got home, he took a sip of water, and Ji Anyi threw himself on the bed directly. He loves cleanliness, and he didn't even want to take a bath, it was really exhausting.

Wang Xiaoer looked at his daughter-in-law who fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow, looked at his clothes that had been hung up, and the blood stains on his body, and felt very uncomfortable.

Even if he was tired, he could hold on and didn't want to sleep.

He entered the kitchen, boiled a pot of water, and when the temperature was right, he quickly brought a bucket of warm water into the house.

"Little ginseng, little ginseng." This was the first time he called out to the ground.

The little ginseng popped up quickly, and several herbs were rolled up on the branch, and it was placed at Wang Xiaoer's feet.

Wang Xiaoer took the herbs with great care, and said something seriously. "Thank you, little ginseng."

Carefully took off his daughter-in-law's tattered clothes, carefully wiped his whole body, crushed the herbal medicine, moistened the medicine juice with a cloth, and carefully applied all the large and small wounds on his daughter-in-law.

After taking the medicine, it probably felt better, and Ji Anyi's frowning brows relaxed.

Wang Xiaoer packed the barrel, took a careless shower, climbed onto the bed, kissed his wife on the face, and soon fell asleep while holding him.

Because there was something in his heart, Wang Xiaoer woke up after sleeping for about two hours. He took a few of the remaining herbs and knocked on the door. He gave two to Xie Qi and the others, and another two to Xie Qi. Brother them.

Back home, I looked at the wound on my daughter-in-law, smashed the last herb, and applied it carefully.

After thinking about it, he took off his clothes.He was afraid that his wife would be angry when she woke up.

The larger wounds were also applied, and the small wounds did not have enough medicinal juice. Anyway, his thick skin and flesh will heal in a few days.

Feeling hungry, Ji Anyi opened his eyes and stretched his waist. This sleep was really comfortable.

Remembering that he fell asleep without taking a shower, he got out of bed in a hurry, and was about to boil water for a bath, but found that the clothes on his body had been changed, and after a closer look, the wounds had been cleaned. No wonder, when he was sleeping, he felt The body feels cool and cool, without the hot burning sensation.

fool.Soon, Ji Anyi thought of the person who did this, and happily left the house.

"Daughter-in-law, you're awake." Wang Xiaoer grinned happily and shouted.

Ji Anyi ran over. "Did you help me with the medicine?"

"Yes. Daughter-in-law, I have also applied the medicine myself, you see." Wang Xiaoer quickly rolled up his sleeves, exposing the wound where the medicine was applied, and looked at Ji Anyi with a smile.

"Good. I'll make you whatever you want to eat." Ji Anyi stretched out his hand and patted Wang Xiaoer's shoulder, not to mention how happy he was with the joy in his heart.

Probably the smell from the kitchen woke up the other two who were sleeping.

After the meal was ready, I went over and called Wang Baoer and the others over.Happily ate a meal.

Ji Anyi and Wang Xiaoer went to the village chief's house.Others stay at home.

After arriving at the village chief's house, the two of them told the village chief directly what they had heard without any fuss, but they did not disclose any confidential information.

"I wrote to ask my two sons outside, and the news I got back was similar to yours. Not only are the two princes wanting to fight for the throne, but even a certain prince with a higher reputation wants to be emperor. It's messed up, and I've been thinking of a solution for the past two days. There is almost no harvest in the second half of the year, and the food of each family is usually exchanged for money. Now in the entire Hexi Village, few families have enough surplus food."

After a pause, the village chief continued. "I plan to reveal the news after a while. Once the news is out, the elder brother who married into Hexi Village from another village will hurriedly inform the family and let them make good preparations. When the time comes, the town The price of food will definitely increase, and this is not the point. I am afraid that if the world becomes chaotic and everyone is short of food, if there is such a big commotion, everyone will know that there is food in the village, which will cause disaster."

Speaking of this, the village head sighed heavily, and he took a deep breath on his cigarette.

Ji Anyi remembered that he had never seen the village chief smoking, this was the first time, and he hadn't seen the village chief for a few days, and felt that he was a lot older, his brows were tightly frowned, and there was a little tiredness between his brows.

It is a blessing that Hexi Village has such a good village chief.

"I thought about it, and there is only one way. I just wrote a letter, asking my two sons, especially the youngest son, to store as much food as possible without leaving a trace, and find a proper place to store it. One day, something will really go wrong. Now, let the villagers quickly hide their own grain. When the time comes, we will see the situation. If there is a shortage of grain in the village, I will take out the grain." Speaking of this, the village chief looked at Ji Anyi. "Have you already hidden your food? You also have some money in your hands, and the road is wide. If you can save it, save more food. Who knows when this world will calm down."

Wars and natural disasters, how could it be this year.

Hexi Village is in his hands, and it has just taken off, alas.

The village chief took another deep breath of the cigarette, exhaled slowly, looked into the distance, and his voice sounded old. "I hope we are thinking too much. Our place is still remote, so we shouldn't mess around here."

After hearing what the village chief said, Ji Anyi thought of Su Jinming's confidential information.

This is the confidential information I got. In the second half of the year, there was a relatively serious drought on our side. The enemy is going to find a breakthrough from our side, causing the so-called horse bandit incident. The two parties above are fighting fiercely. The prince wants to take advantage of the fire .

Wanting to be the emperor for thousands of years, but taking the lives of ordinary people to stain the country with blood, don't let this prince take the throne.

Let's stash more food, we can discuss it when we get home, and we can hide more food while it's still calm.

Looking at the village head who was smoking silently, Ji Anyi felt inexplicably sad.
