Farmhouse strong man

When the man saw Tao Fu smiling, his haggard face was gone, but now he looked radiant.

After the burly man left, the man approached Tao Fu and said with a smile, "Are you assigned to be nailed up too?"

Tao Fu smiled and nodded at the man, and asked, "I saw you haggard before, but I was worried about being taken away later."

The man sighed and said: "I didn't know the situation before, and I didn't want to work for nothing, but later I was afraid of being hungry. If I thought about working for nothing, I would work for nothing. Anyway, in this world, it is impossible not to give in to this situation. But I didn’t expect that after I agreed to help with the work, no one urged me to come here to work, and the food was much better than before.”

Tao Fu could hear the man's rejoicing and joy from the man's tone. The man said a lot to Tao Fu unknowingly, and the man next to him echoed it from time to time.

From the man's mouth, Tao Fu knew that the man's name was Wei Shiren. He originally wanted to go to Yongzhou with his family. A burly man blocked the way, and he and his family were separated and brought here.Originally, he would rather starve to death than give in, unwilling to work, and wanted to see his family, but after starving for many days, he was already weak and in a trance. After being questioned again, he agreed to work, and the person who arrested him also agreed , As long as you work hard, you can not only meet your family after you finish, but you can also take a boat to Yongzhou together.

Wei Shiren didn't really believe the other party's words at first. It wasn't until he came to work here that he realized that everyone was living well, and the other party was not harsh on them. They still had enough fish every day, which was much better than when they were fleeing.After asking each other, they all felt that the people here did arrest them for the purpose of building ships. Some of them behaved well and were taken to meet their family members. I heard that the brothers and women who could not work lived well in other places. You don't have to go hungry every day.After some family members were taken over, all the confiscated items were returned to the family members.He also heard that the purpose of holding their things is for everyone to work, and when the work is done, the things will be returned to everyone.After receiving this good news, everyone worked more actively, worked very hard without being urged, and worked until late.

After Tao Fu heard what Wei Shiren said, he felt more at ease, and then asked Wei Shiren how to nail the boards, and then started working seriously.

He has to behave better so that he can convince the person who asked him to come to work as soon as possible to let Yuan Liufeng and Yuan Liuzhen bring Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian over here, so that as soon as the ship is built, they can leave here together and go to Yongzhou .

Tao Fu didn't come back for a few days after leaving, Yuan Liuzhen and Yuan Liufeng were a little anxious, but A'Ban didn't bring back any news, and they thought Tao Fu should be fine.

Yuan Liuzhen also believed that Tao Fu would not be in danger, so they could only continue to wait anxiously.

Even if they were in a hurry, they had no choice but to trust Tao Fu.There can't be an accident between the two of them, otherwise Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian can't take care of them alone, and at the same time, they have to be alert to all kinds of dangers and accidents.

Tao Fu has been working here for three days, and he has become very familiar with the working environment here.In the evening after he was assigned to work here, he ate a full fish meal with other people. Various types of fish were cooked into fish soup, grilled fish, fried fish, etc. Many fish he saw I haven't seen it before. It tastes good. If it was made by him, it will definitely be better.Everyone ate to their heart's content and worked harder.

At night, when they sleep, they find a place to rest at random in the place where they work, and the steward will bring them some quilts.

The food here is good, no one is urging you to work, the only bad thing is that it will be very cold to sleep at night, and you can't go out of this place, the iron gate is tightly locked by the heavy iron bars, and there are eight strong men taking turns guarding the gate outside. with.Indeed, as the person I met before said, at two hours in the morning of the day, there will be more than a dozen strong men taking turns looking at the iron gate of the only exit.

Tao Fu also got more news from Wei Shiren and others.The person who arrested them was Yan Lianhai, a wealthy businessman from Haiping Village here. After the war in Dongzhou, everyone was taxed once, and Yan Lianhai was no exception. Levy gone.

Before the war broke out, Yan Lianhai spent most of his time running back and forth between Yongzhou and Dongzhou.At the beginning of the war, he sent his family to Yongzhou as soon as possible, but because of Dongzhou's sudden defeat, he didn't get the news in time, and when he came back to transport his belongings, he was left alone in Dongzhou.Now, he naturally wanted to go back to Yongzhou to reunite with his family, but he had no money and no manpower to build a boat, so he had to make a bad move to bring people here to work.Most of the people brought here were going to Yongzhou. Therefore, most of them stayed in the dungeon where they were brought here for a few days. After explaining the situation, almost all of them were willing to help build the ship. Take it to another place and close it to avoid the wind when walking.

Tao Fu felt a lot of emotion after hearing this, and there is nothing he can do about it now.

If Yan Lianhai didn't build ships, Dongzhou would always belong to Lishui Kingdom, and it would be almost impossible for them to go to Yongzhou.

Tao Fu worked very hard for the past three days when he came here. After knowing how to nail boards, the efficiency of nailing boards is much higher than that of others, and his hand speed is very fast. Although he has to pretend to be inconvenient with one leg, he still works high efficiency.

Occasionally, a steward came to check on him, and he was very satisfied to see Tao Fu's hard work.

Tao Fu's work in three days almost produced three times the amount of Wei Shiren.

Three days later, Tao Fu was taken out of the iron gate by a burly man and brought to Yan Lianhai.

Seeing Yan Lianhai again, Tao Fu's mood was different from when he first saw Yan Lianhai.

Yan Lianhai still smiled gently. After seeing Tao Fu, he also said enthusiastically: "I heard that you have done three times as much as others in three days. The manager has been praising you for the past two days. What you said three days ago The request, since your work performance is good, I can agree, but I still need to know about your family's situation, so I can consider how to arrange them. Where are they now?"

After Tao Fu knew the reason why Yan Lianhai arrested them, he didn't hide it: "My family is in a place near the ferry now. There are second brother and Fulang with two young children at home. I hope to bring them here as soon as possible. here."

Yan Lianhai thought for a while and said: "If your husband brings two young children, if he comes over, he will be arranged elsewhere temporarily. As for your second brother, if he comes over, please persuade him to help him come over." Work hard, and when the ship is built, we can go to Yongzhou together."

"Okay." Tao Fu nodded when he felt that there was no problem.

"You drive out the work to be done tomorrow tonight, and tomorrow I will let two people go out with you to pick up your family. When you go out tomorrow, remember not to be discovered by officers and soldiers, and don't betray my trust, and don't try to escape , if the news leaks out, don’t blame me for any troubles in the future.”

Tao Fu didn't care about Yan Lianhai's threat. He certainly didn't want to attract the attention of the officers and soldiers. Besides, he must go to Yongzhou. If he didn't pass through the ship built by Yan Lianhai, he might not be able to go to Yongzhou by boat for the time being.

Seeing that Tao Fu agreed, Yan Lianhai asked Tao Fu to rush to work as soon as possible.

Tao Fu returned to the place where he was working, anxiously rushing to do tomorrow's work, but the speed was faster than before.Wei Shiren knew that Tao Fu worked so hard because he wanted to bring his family back, and he agreed very much, and told Tao Fu that some of them were like Tao Fu. Later, the family members were taken here, but the family members who were taken over lived in other places. Only when the ship is built can they reunite with their families.

Wei Shiren also enthusiastically helped Tao Fu with the work to be done tomorrow for a while. After everyone had a rest, the two were still busy working.

When it was very late, the two of them went to eat after finishing their work, and there was only fish soup left. They didn't care at all, and each drank two bowls of fish soup.

After Tao Fu finished eating and lay down, he was very excited. He would be able to pick up Yuan Liuzhen, Yuan Liufeng, Xiaoqing, and Xiaoqian tomorrow. He hadn't seen them for almost ten days. Looking at Yuan Liuzhen and the others, he knew that Yuan Liuzhen and the others must be anxious after waiting for him for so long, but Ah'Ban was waiting outside the cave he entered, and he could not pass on the news to Yuan Liuzhen and the others.

Fortunately, we can meet tomorrow.

When he was sleeping at night, he was still thinking about meeting Yuan Liuzhen tomorrow.

Early the next morning, when everyone else was starting to work, Tao Fu was led out of the iron gate by two burly men.

They walked back along the same road Tao Fu was brought in. After walking out, the burly man asked Tao Fu the route, and they walked there.

Tao Fu was taken out and his wrists were still tied. The two burly men were about the same height as Tao Fu. Tao Fu was strong, so he could escape naturally. He had no intention of escaping, and let the burly man take him to the place where he was robbed. go.

It took almost half a day to reach the place where he was robbed. At night, they didn't stop to rest. On the way, the three of them would eat some dried fish and drink water to satisfy their hunger.

After almost half a day's journey, at night, they had already arrived near the stone mountain where Yuan Liuzhen was.

A'Ban followed Tao Fu after Tao Fu was brought out by two burly men. After Tao Fu flew in the direction of Yuan Liuzhen, it flew to the stone mountain where Yuan Liuzhen lived in advance.

Yuan Liuzhen and Yuan Liufeng waited anxiously for many days, but they didn't see A'Ban bring back any news, nor did they see Tao Fu come back. The two originally discussed going out to search together, and if they encountered something, they could face it together. Okay, when I was about to go out, Ah'Ban flew back.

When A'Banfei came back, he didn't bring any news, and the two felt strange, so they had to take things out to check.

Not long after walking, he saw Tao Fu was tied up, followed by two burly men one after the other, and the faces of the two became ugly in an instant. Yuan Liuzhen hurriedly hugged Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian to Yuan Liufeng, let Yuan Liufeng hide, and We must rush to rescue Tao Fu who is tied up.

Tao Fu saw Yuan Liuzhen for the first time, and when he saw Yuan Liuzhen approaching, he felt nostalgic, and he also hurriedly walked in the direction of Yuan Liuzhen, and two burly men followed closely behind Tao Fu.

As Yuan Liuzhen approached Tao Fu, Yuan Liuzhen was a little puzzled when he found that the two people who tied Tao Fu didn't seem to force Tao Fu to run towards him.

When Tao Fu approached him and gave Yuan Liuzhen a comforting smile, Yuan Liuzhen felt relieved, but still looked at the two burly men warily.

Tao Fu knew that Yuan Liuzhen was worried, and explained: "You and the second brother will take Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian with us, and we will talk about it when we get to the place."

Yuan Liuzhen felt a little worried and suspicious, so she had to go back to find Yuan Liufeng who was holding Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian.

Tao Fu saw Yuan Liuzhen looking for Yuan Liufeng, and said a few words to the two burly men, saying that he would not run away.Those two burly men bound Tao Fu because they were afraid that Tao Fu would take advantage of the opportunity to pick up his family and run away. Now that Tao Fu took them to find their family, they naturally would not make things difficult for Tao Fu and untied Tao Fu. rope.

The rope in Tao Fu's hand was untied, he spoke to the two burly men, and then walked in the direction of Yuan Liuzhen and Yuan Liufeng.

They brought a lot of luggage, and Yuan Liufeng and Yuan Liuzhen couldn't carry them all. He went to help carry everything. The two burly men followed behind Tao Fu. They didn't help. Tao Fu and the others fled, looking around to see if there were any officers, soldiers and suspicious persons.

Tao Fu helped Yuan Liuzhen and Yuan Liufeng carry all the packed things on their backs, and went on the road together with Yuan Liuzhen and Yuan Liufeng, who were holding Xiaoqian, with Xiaoqian in their arms.

They rushed to the forest with slightly more trees before they stopped to rest.

The two burly men and Tao Fu hadn't slept for two days. When resting, the burly man would take turns looking at Tao Fu and the others.

Someone kept watch at night, and Tao Fu slept peacefully beside Yuan Liuzhen. Yuan Liuzhen couldn't help smiling when he saw Tao Fu sleeping on his shoulder.

For so many days, Yuan Liuzhen has been very worried about Tao Fu's situation and why he didn't bring back the news. Now seeing Tao Fu sleeping peacefully on his shoulder, she felt much more at ease.

The last time Tao Fu was taken away by Fan Tian, ​​he also waited anxiously.

Thinking of this, Yuan Liuzhen couldn't help sighing that in the 21st century, there has never been a person who has never been away for a few days and worried about missing him. Since he met Tao Fu, he has not seen each other for a long time, and he is also worried.

Until they meet again, the relationship between the two is deeper than ever.

Even now, the feeling of Tao Fu leaning on him so quietly made him feel very happy.

After Tao Fu fell asleep, he and Yuan Liufeng fed Xiao Qing and Xiao Qian, coaxed the two children to sleep, and fell asleep leaning against Tao Fu.

Seeing Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu's intimacy, the burly man watching the night was curious and found it difficult to accept it. He and his sleeping companion thought Yuan Liuzhen was a man, and seeing the two of them getting along naturally and intimately was even more unbearable.However, they only said a few words when Tao Fu and the others were not paying attention, and naturally they would not talk too much in person. After all, their task was to take Tao Fu to pick up people.

The group of people did not sleep for a long time, and before dawn, they packed their things and walked towards the direction of the shipbuilding cave.

Tao Fu didn't say much along the way, and Yuan Liuzhen and Yuan Liufeng didn't ask any questions. They drove for half a day to reach the cave where Tao Fu used to work.

After entering the cave, Yuan Liuzhen, Tao Fu and his party were taken directly to the cave where Yan Lianhai was.

When entering the cave, Yan Lianhai was still sitting on the chair as Tao Fu did when he first met him. He was not surprised to see several people coming in. He had been informed that Tao Fu had brought his family over.

After several people entered the cave, Yu Lianhai looked at Yuan Liuzhen, Yuan Liufeng and the children in Yuan Liuzhen and Yuan Liufeng's arms for a long time. He was a little puzzled, so he hurriedly got up and greeted them warmly. He looked at Yuan Liufeng and said, "You are Fu The husband of the family, right? This is the second elder brother of the Fu family?"

Both Yuan Liuzhen and Yuan Liufeng were taken aback, their faces were a little embarrassed, Tao Fu quickly introduced to Yu Lianhai: "No, this is my husband."

Tao Fu naturally held Yuan Liuzhen's hand that was not holding the child on one side and said, "This is Zhenzhen, my husband, next to me and Zhenzhen's second brother, Fengfeng."

Yu Lianhai sized Yuan Liuzhen up and down, and compared it with Tao Fu who was standing beside him. He was about the same height. Who was Yuan Liuzhen, who was stronger than Tao Fu?He was very puzzled, but he had been living by the sea, and the men on their side were generally short and not strong.Could it be that there are brothers who are so tall and strong in other places?

Seeing Lian Hai looking up and down, Yuan Liuzhen quickly explained: "I am indeed brother, but the red mole on my forehead is not just on my forehead. Fu and I are married. Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian are my children."

Hearing what Yuan Liuzhen said, Yu Lianhai was so shocked that he didn't know what to say, and he didn't dare to look at it too much. He smiled and said, "Sorry, I was just curious just now. I don't know if Fu told you about the situation here."

Yuan Liuzhen and Yuan Liufeng shook their heads, and Yu Lianhai explained: "The thing is like this. Now that Dongzhou has been defeated, there are no ships to go to Yongzhou. The ferry is guarded by officers and soldiers. Almost all the ships that can sail to Yongzhou are in the hands of officers and soldiers. We can build another ship and go to Yongzhou. However, there is a shortage of manpower for shipbuilding, so we have to bring people over to help with the work in a too direct way. Fu has been helping with work in recent days. Fu also wants to pick you up and go together after the ship is built. Yongzhou. Now that the weather is getting warmer, the Lishui Kingdom has colluded with the King of Xizhou, and Dongzhou has been defeated. Most of the people in the capital, including the emperor, are in Yongzhou. I believe that the Lishui Kingdom will send troops to attack Yongzhou soon. At that time, the seaside It will be unsafe, and it will be very difficult to go to sea. We must build a ship and go to sea before the war. Now that there is a shortage of manpower, do you think you and your second brother can help build the ship?"

Yu Lianhai originally thought that Tao Fu's husband was a weak brother, so he thought that Tao Fu's husband would take care of the two children, and Tao Fu's second brother would help build the boat, and wait for Tao Fu to bring them to him Later, he discovered that Tao Fu's second elder brother looked like a literati who couldn't work, so he might as well help out with Yuan Liuzhen, his husband.

Yuan Liuzhen understood what was going on, looked at Tao Fu, Tao Fu nodded and said, "That's true."

Yuan Liuzhen thought for a while. Although he didn't know much about ships, he had read a lot of books before. Maybe he could help when building a ship, so he said, "I can help with building a ship, and my second brother can help with Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian. You sent someone to rob Second Brother before, how do you explain this?"

Yuan Liuzhen asked bluntly, and Yu Lianhai hurriedly said in embarrassment: "It's not peaceful now, and everyone has no money. Everyone needs a lot of money to go to sea and live in Yongzhou, where they are not familiar. It’s just bringing people over to work, so your second brother was only robbed of things?”

Yuan Liufeng nodded and said, "Yes, although there is nothing valuable in the baggage, my baggage was taken away."

After hearing this, Yu Lianhai asked someone to come over to ask, and asked someone to bring Yuan Liufeng's baggage over, and said to Yuan Liufeng, "Sorry, I didn't know they only took your baggage. Normally, they bring people here They all keep the things in a unified way first, and return them to you after the ship is built. If you want to take a boat with us to Yongzhou, you need to exchange them with relative things. When I told Fu before, the words were a bit too much , but the actual situation is different from what Fu said at the first time. After everyone is willing to help with the work, the things they bring are kept by family members or us. When the ship is built, things will be returned to everyone, and they will not It’s difficult for everyone to deliver too many valuable things, we have many experienced fishermen here, and we can ensure that everyone has enough food when they take the boat.”

After hearing this, Yuan Liuzhen said in relief: "Yes, let me see about the shipbuilding, maybe I can help."

After hearing this, Yu Lianhai only thought that Yuan Liuzhen was going to do physical work, so he readily agreed.

Then he asked someone to come and arrange for someone to take Yuan Liufeng to the place where other people lived, and he also asked what happened to the red spot on Yuan Liufeng's body before?Will it be contagious?After he knew that the red spot on Yuan Liufeng's body had disappeared and was not contagious, he took Yuan Liufeng to the place where other people lived.In order to reassure Yuan Liuzhen, Tao Fu and the others, when he and the people he arranged took Yuan Liufeng, Xiaoqing, and Xiaoqian there, they also asked Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu to follow.

In fact, the family members who are workers all live in the stone cave in the opposite direction of the dungeon.

When they passed by, there were about seventy or eighty people there, some were busy with embroidery, some were busy with taking care of children, all of them were women and brothers.

Seeing this, Yuan Liufeng was a little embarrassed. There are so many brothers and women here. It is inconvenient for him to take care of Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian here as a grown man. Physical work.

Knowing Yuan Liufeng's worry, Yu Lianhai said, "It's not convenient for you to live here, you'll live in a separate small cave inside. I'll let someone take you in, and I won't go in."

Tao Fu, Yuan Liuzhen, and Yuan Liufeng took Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian and all their things through the places where brothers and women gathered, and came to the innermost separate cave. The caves are separated by railings and do not affect each other.In addition to Yuan Liufeng living alone in such a separate cave with Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian, there are also some older men who cannot work and live in other caves.

Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu put down all the things they brought, and told Yuan Liufeng that if there was anything to notify the steward or A'Ban to deliver the letter, they looked at Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian again, very reluctant, but now the situation is not the same. The way, Fan Tian wanted him and Tao Fu, they had to leave here for Yongzhou as soon as possible, and maybe the shipbuilding progress would be faster if they helped in the past.Now A'Ban and Axia followed them to the outside of the cave and did not fly in, but if there is any major accident, it is still possible for A'Ban to deliver the news.

They told Yuan Liufeng to be good, and they were taken to the place where they were working.

Tao Fu was already familiar with this place. After entering the work place, Yuan Liuzhen was arranged to do the same things as Tao Fu. Yuan Liuzhen was arranged to be a ship's mast.

Tao Fu returned to the place where he was working again. Wei Shiren came over immediately. When he saw Yuan Liuzhen, he looked him up and down and asked Tao Fu, "Is this your second brother?"

When Tao Fu left, he told Wei Shiren that he was going out to pick up his family, and he also said that he was going to pick up his husband, child and second brother.

Yuan Liuzhen was so embarrassed twice that he didn't know what to say. He knew that he would face more situations like this in the future. Before Tao Fu could answer, he explained with a smile, "No, I'm Fulang's husband."

"Ah?" Wei Shiren opened his mouth wide in surprise, and the voice of "Ah" was very loud, which attracted the attention of many people. He quickly covered his mouth and said in surprise: "You are Fu's husband, are you?" Bro?"

Yuan Liuzhen nodded with a smile, and Tao Fu also said, "Zhenzhen is a brother, very powerful, capable of everything..."

Tao Fu praised Yuan Liuzhen and Wei Shiren again. Tao Fu was already familiar with the way of praising Yuan Liuzhen, and he talked non-stop.

The more Wei Shiren heard it, the more startled he became, and he took a different look at Yuan Liuzhen. He had never seen a brother who looked like a man, but no matter whether Yuan Liuzhen was a brother or not, Tao Fu said that Yuan Liuzhen knew a lot, so he admired him very much.

They didn't talk too much, and soon, Tao Fu and Wei Shiren nailed the planks, and Yuan Liuzhen went to make the mast not far from them.
