"If you don't farm, what do you usually eat?" The woman asked in surprise, looking behind the other party, there were dozens of hungry mouths!
"It's not completely impossible to plant it!"
The old man was refreshed and said, "Let's come here. When the good year is in the year, it will not start farming until late May, which is delayed by two or three months than the south. When it comes to a bad year, like last winter, it was very cold and thawed very slowly, so it can't be planted this year. Moreover, our winter comes faster than others, and the crops planted can only be harvested for one season. If winter comes earlier, the harvest will be gone in the year. Usually, we can only hunt hard to supplement it!"
"It's only harvested for one season a year, and it's impossible to have surplus food. It's not that it can be planted every year. So who did you survive?" the woman asked again.
"We can survive because at most we are not food, not prey, but fish!" A sturdy young man stood up and said.
"fish?"
The woman looked at the white snow field around her and confirmed that she had heard it correctly. Her spiritual sense and perception were several times stronger than ordinary people, but she didn't see where the so-called fish was, and she didn't even have water.
"There are fish!"
The father-in-law confirmed the young man's words: "Girl, continue north from here and walk another hundred or two hundred miles. There will be a huge underglaze lake called Qingyang Lake. No one knows how wide it is. He only knows that its ice surface does not melt all year round. As long as the ice surface is chiseled, many fat big fish can be caught. You can take it to other places for rice, flour, grain and cloth, and even offer it to the palace. It is very plump and should be connected to the distant ocean. When we don't have enough food, we will go there to cook some fish to replenish it!"
"Oh? That's right? Can you take me to see it? I'll give you money!" the woman said.
"No money!"
The old man waved his hand: "We young people are also preparing to go to work in Yugang. Girl, just come with you, anyway!"
"That's even good!" the woman smiled slightly.
As he said that, the strong man rushed to a cart, and his companions had several cars behind him. The young men all sat on it, but he was the only one.
The strong man looked at the woman with hesitation on his face. They were usually just trucks transporting goods, which were very dirty and old. They were all rough people. It would be fine to sit on them, but this clean and tidy girl seemed a little out of tune. He was not sure if the other party would sit on it.
Unexpectedly, when he was still hesitating, the other party had already sat sideways, not affected by the strong fishy smell in the car. A woman from a wealthy family seemed very casual and did not show off at all, winning the favor of many villagers, mainly because they had never seen such a beautiful person.
Many strong guys came over, and the young man driving the bus felt his heart beating faster. Although he knew it was a delusion, he could not resist the young man's admiration.
"Girl, look at your outfit, you must be a woman from a wealthy family. You can't come from the royal city, right?" The father-in-law also sat up and chatted while walking.
"I did come from the royal city!" the woman said, not lying, she was still there two or three days ago.
"Then have you seen our Majesty?" asked the old man.
"Oh? Are you talking about the little king of seven or eight years old?" The woman searched the memories in her mind, and remembered that the king of Fenglan Kingdom seemed to be a child.
"It's him!"
The old man sighed and looked up, saying, "Our Majesty is young, but he is born with kindness and loving the people. You have also seen that our living conditions are very difficult, but since he ascended the throne, he has done a lot of good things for the people, and our lives have been much better! I really hope that one day we will see him as well!"
"Oh, what's his good way? Tell me?" The woman became interested.
"Just say it was last year. The winter came very early and left very late. Most of us felt that we were going to starve to death. His Majesty exempted us from taxes and sent a large amount of food, so we all survived. Thanks to His Majesty's kindness!" said the father-in-law.
"Oh? It seems that he is a rare good monarch!" the woman also said.
"Not only these, if we were just like this, our lives would be a little better and we couldn't change anything. Not only did he send food, he also set up a fish port in Qingyang Lake, and purchased and sold the fish we caught. In the past, the fish we caught were only enough to eat ourselves and wanted to sell them, but the journey was long and there was not enough money to get back and forth. But when people are alive, they can't just rely on eating fish, and many household uses need subsidies. Now it's good. We only need to be responsible for fishing, and we don't have to worry about anything else. The money we earned can be exchanged for grain, rice, oil, salt and various household uses in the fish port. Even if winter comes, we won't starve to death!"
"That's a good thing, but without him! Can you fish and support yourself?" the woman asked.
“This is different!”
The young man who was driving the car in front suddenly came back and said, "Girl, you don't know that in addition to the abundant rich fish in Qingyang Lake, there are many ferocious water beasts, which are all for people to eat. Some can even rush onto the ice and drag people down. In the past, we were forced to fish and took the risk to support the family, but many people couldn't come back because of this, and the yield was small. I had two brothers on it, but they all died in the water!"
"Since our Majesty sent people, we have organized strong men to rise up to kill and drive away the water beasts. Many people have died in the middle, but now fishing is much safer and the output is greatly improved. Otherwise, so many of us would not have gone to work at the Fish Port. Life is hopeful and people will live happily!"
The young man shook the whip in his hand and said happily, which caused the laughter of his companions to laugh, and the woman laughed. She felt that the lives of these people were also quite interesting, and she could feel their happy mood and hope for life!
"Miss, have you seen our national master except for our Majesty? What does he look like?" asked the young man in a car next door.
"Yes, except for our little Majesty, he is the most powerful person in our Fenglan Kingdom. It is said that he is not old, but he is born with divine power and unparalleled bravery. He is the god who descended to earth and reincarnated the demon spirit. He assisted our Majesty ascend the throne. But he doesn't know what the real person looks like. He shouldn't be three heads and six arms and nine feet tall, right?"
…!
Speaking of the national teacher, the young men were even more excited and they all participated in it.
"he……!"
The woman was a little amused and crying, and only a young and handsome face appeared in her mind. How could such a person be boasted to be a god among the people?
She kind of understood why even Tuoba Hankong was trapped in a few rumors.
