Bianshanhan [farming]

The windmill sounds simple, but it is a bit difficult to do, especially if you haven't done it before, everything has to be explored.

However, this thing sounds like a good thing. A few carpenters who know how to work in the village get together, and they all know the truth. Using wind instead of people or animals to turn the millstone, but to make bearings and gears, this is the hardest and most difficult thing to do. most troublesome.

Li Qingwen also went to find Zhou Congxin and asked him to search in the barracks to see who was more proficient in this. Officers and soldiers also had to eat, and if the windmill was built, it would save a lot of trouble in the kitchen.

Only by brainstorming can we better solve the problem. Li Qingwen has always thought this way. Zhou Fengnian was generous and selected more than 20 craftsmen from among the officers and soldiers. kind.

Ever since Chen Wen, Jiang Liping, Jiang Cong and others began to take on heavy responsibilities, Zhou Fengnian immediately felt much lighter, but he did not dare to spend his days leisurely. From time to time, he would look at the buckwheat flowers in the field and ask the old farmer next to him when he could Harvest, the harvest is about how much.

He was afraid, the granaries had been completely swept away, and if the crops were not harvested, officers, soldiers and exiles would all have to drink the northwest wind.

From birth to now, Zhou Fengnian knew for the first time that food was so important, and he also understood why farmers valued and attached so much to the land.

Because fields and crops are about the life of a family.

The buckwheat will be harvested in half a month, and Zhou Fengnian is looking forward to it every day, so that it will not rain when the buckwheat is harvested.

Li Qingfeng didn't go to Xincheng, he took all the boys in the village, Chasing Feng and Lightning, together with Ma Yongjiang and others, went to the birch forest to gather ganoderma lucidum, dig medicinal herbs, duck eggs, and cut honey.

Before it was time to get busy, most of the Li family's horses were idle, and they were all harnessed to the rack carts. When they went there, they were carrying dry rations in the carts. When they came back, the dry rations were gone, and they were full of harvests.

This year, the flowers in the birch forest are blooming very well, coupled with the timely division of bee colonies, dozens of barrels of honey have been obtained, and there are also a lot of medicinal materials and ganoderma lucidum.

Before harvesting grain in the fields, Li Qingfeng and the others first went to the birch forest for an autumn harvest.

According to the old rules, Zhou Yao will pick out the good things she got back first, and she will take whatever she wants. Of course, Zhou Yao will not be polite.

Lin Tan didn't know if she could come back yet, and no one would provide Zhou Yao with medicinal materials, so she wrote down what she lacked, and asked Zhou Fengnian and Li Qingwen to help find it.

As a female doctor with excellent medical skills in the camp, she was worth thousands of lives. After Lu Gang's death, Zhou Yao's status became higher and higher. After Li Qingzhuo came back, she sent several handwritten medical books.

She wrote it down specially. Liu Yuerong wanted to study medicine with Zhou Yao, and Zhou Yao also wanted to find someone to share the work, so she copied a bunch of books. She knew what Li Qingzhuo should read after asking a few words, and chose some on her own.

Seeing this scene, Li Zhengliang couldn't help but slowly opened his mouth. Since he was a child, he only saw his second uncle giving books to others. It was the first time he saw his second uncle being given books, and he was so happy...

Realizing that the second uncle was different from the others, Li Zhengliang shuddered, and immediately pushed what he saw out of his mind.

After returning from the birch forest, Li Qingfeng went to the west to touch the mussels non-stop, and it would be cold later, and he couldn't bear it in the water.

This time Li Qingwen also followed, Ma Yongjiang and the others came back a few months earlier, deliberately rode along the river a few times, and found another river beach in Dazhui Bay in the northwest, so they went there this time.

Li Qingzhuo has been building a house since he came back, but he was pushed into the car by his eldest brother and asked him to go out to have fun.

The sun scorched the beach, and Li Qingwen stepped on it with his bare feet, leaving shallow footprints. The soles of his feet were a little hot, but they were also very comfortable.

In the distance, a group of men were going up and down in the water with only one pair of underpants.

Li Qingwen was not allowed to enter the water, so he could only wait to dig out clam shells. Although there was no need to save money to buy freedom for Jiang Cong and the others, money was too much, Li Qingwen was already eager to try.

When mentioning money, Li Qingwen couldn't help but think of the letter Su Shuqing wrote to him. Jiang Cong and the others were pardoned because of their meritorious deeds, which meant that the money donated before was wasted.Su Shuqing said that there was no way to return it, and asked him if he wanted to donate more. In that case, he could play it, and maybe he could ask Li Qingwen for a plaque written by the imperial pen.

Li Qingwen was a little hesitant. He didn't want the money to be wasted, but if he donated it again, it was just for the plaque, and he felt it was not worth it.

The emperor's handwriting is really unusual, but it's useless, especially in a remote place like a border town...

Just as he was thinking about it, bags of mussels were thrown ashore. Li Qingwen picked them up, fell to the ground, handed the bags back, and sat on the sand to start digging.

He had dug so much before, and he had long been proficient in his movements, swishing, swishing, clanging in the bowl containing the salt.

Li Qingzhuo learned to swim with his eldest nephew, and after a long time, his movements were still clumsy. He saw Li Qingwen sitting in the sun without moving for a long time, and he was a little worried that he would get sunburned, so he came out of the water to get some shade.

He had just walked a few steps when several whistles sounded in the water.

Li Qingzhuo turned his head and glanced over, and everyone plunged into the water as if nothing had happened.

Li Qingyong paddled the water to the shore, and said foolishly: "Brother Qingzhuo, thanks to your tallness, why don't you just look behind..."

Knowing that he had nothing good to say, before Li Qingyong finished speaking, Li Qingfeng pushed his head into the water and shouted to the shore: "Second brother, put on your clothes quickly."

Li Qingzhuo went ashore and built a simple shed for Li Qingwen, otherwise it would be too hot for a day in the sun.

Still remembering Jiang Cong's explanation, Li Qingzhuo boiled water in a pot, brewed honey for Li Qingwen, let him drink it, and rested by the way.

After digging for a long time, Li Qingwen's wrists were also sore. When he raised his head, his second brother's white and smooth back flashed him, and he quickly threw his clothes over.

Everyone else was naked, Li Qingwen didn't feel anything, but felt that the second brother was not good at it.

It was getting late, and the evening glow dyed the gentle river water golden. When it got dark, everyone walked out of the water with difficulty.

It's a bit tiring to go up and down in the water all day.

After the big guys came ashore, they all walked over to Li Qingwen, looked at the bowls beside him, and said with a smile, "I can't accept it."

They went into the water to touch it once before, and they got something, but the scattered pearls were nothing compared to the ones in Li Qingwen's bowl.

Li Qingfeng picked out the good beads from the bowl, and Li Zhengliang couldn't help rolling a few in his palm.

"Don't drop it." Li Qingfeng reminded: "These few sheep bones are worth your third uncle's selling for a year and a half."

The big guy laughed, and suddenly felt that Li Qinghong was too tired.

Li Zhengliang pursed his lips and said, "I eat mutton bones and mutton every day. I am so happy that I can dream happily. This time my second uncle returns to the capital, and I will follow."

Their family also has sheep, but being watched by his little fourth uncle, Li Zhengliang couldn't eat it, so he kept thinking about it.

Although fish, chicken and all kinds of game can be eaten now, I have never tasted the mutton raised at home. Li Zhengliang thought that goat meat must be delicious.

"It's not difficult to eat mutton." Ma Yongjiang took off his underpants, twisted the water, and walked the bird carelessly, saying: "We escorted the grain and grass to Anyangguan. They raised a lot of sheep there, and they can be bought with money. It can be exchanged for something."

Li Zhengliang immediately looked at Li Qingfeng, and both uncle and nephew showed a look of "wanting everything".

But Anyangguan is not close to the border town, and they don't know the way, so they can't go there if they want to.

Li Qingfeng didn't speak, but he had already started thinking about it in his heart.

They didn't plan to stay here for too long this time. They all brought dry food. Dinner was very simple. They cooked a mouthful of hot soup, soaked the dry food and started eating.

It was completely dark, and several fires were lit on the beach.

Sweating a lot during the day, Li Qingwen drank a lot of water, everyone lay down and closed their eyes to sleep, he tiptoed up, and went to the distant grass to get ready to relax.

He was hunched over looking for a hiding place, when suddenly his mouth was covered by a hand.

Li Qingwen's courage was about to crumble to pieces. Countless murder scenes flashed through his mind instantly. Under the stress, he threw his elbow back.

Then, both hands were tied behind his back.

Perhaps seeing how frightened he was, the people behind him immediately said, "What are you doing running out without sleeping?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Li Qingwen's tense body softened, angry and happy, but he could only make a "woo woo" sound when he opened his mouth.

Li Qingwen let go of the hand on his mouth, "Brother, why are you here in the middle of the night, you scared me!"

"The patrol is here, come and see you." It's been a long time since I saw Li Qingwen, Jiang Cong said: "I didn't make any movement when I got off the horse, and you didn't hear it. I was too careless in the wild."

The two of them still maintained the posture of tandem and one behind, and they were very close. When Jiang Cong spoke, the vibration in his chest spread to Li Qingwen's back, which was numb.

Well, I haven't pursued the scary thing about him yet, but instead, I was labeled as not clever. Li Qingwen let out two gasps of dissatisfaction from his nostrils.

Jiang Cong asked with a smile, "What are you doing out in the middle of the night?"

Only then did Li Qingwen think of his purpose for coming out, and suddenly realized that his lower abdomen was swollen, and hurriedly said: "Brother, brother, hurry up, let go, I can't hold it anymore!"

Jiang Cong let go immediately, and Li Qingwen untied the belt on his underwear in a hurry.

Just in response to that sentence, the more anxious he became, the more confused he became. He frantically pulled the loose button into a dead button, and pulled it hard twice, and tied it into a dead knot.

Li Qingwen was going crazy, he didn't want to pee his pants at such an age, especially in front of Jiang Cong! !

If that's the case, I won't be able to raise my head for the rest of my life!

"do not move!"

Seeing that he was in a mess, Jiang Cong stretched out his hand to restrain Li Qingwen, pulled his pants with one hand, and scratched the front of his underpants a few times with the dagger in the other.

The eyeballs almost fell to the ground, Li Qingwen looked at the gleaming knife face, and dared not move, for fear that it would cause an irreparable mistake for the rest of his life.

Jiang Cong's hands were very steady, and he opened a slit in the front of his trousers safely, without hurting even a hair. Seeing that the person in his arms was still stiff, he took out the stunned little guy inside, and even Considerate "shh" twice.
