After listening for a while, there was no sound, so I thought it might be the noise made by mice, so I went to bed and lay down with my eyes squinted, completely unaware that the window paper had been pierced by a reed.
After the reed was inserted into the house, someone blew smoke into it, and soon Mrs. Wang was knocked unconscious.
Several figures moved outside the house, and one of them squinted his eyes and looked into the house.
There was an oil lamp burning in the room, which illuminated Mrs. Wang's head turned to one side and she fainted.
"Boss, it's done.'
"Open the door."
"Yes." Several black shadows rushed towards the door. Soon, Mrs. Wang's door was opened by someone, and the table was slowly pushed open. Five or six masked people got into the room.
After rummaging through the cabinets, he pulled out a money box from under the bed.
When they pried open the lock and took a look, everyone's eyes lit up.
"Boss, you've made a fortune." Looking at the box full of banknotes, the man in black's hands started to tremble, "Is it really six thousand taels? Do you want to count them?"
The leader slapped him on the back of the head and said, "Count you, take it and run away."
Before he finished speaking, someone outside answered, "Okay, boss, how dare you leave us and eat alone~~" The leader was stunned and felt bad. He was being followed by the group of minions under his command. He probably wanted to take advantage of him.
black.
They were originally street gangsters who were recruited by the yamen to work as supervisors at the Baijia Village Iron Mine. After the iron mine was closed, they gathered together and became robbers. They had previously committed a robbery and won two jobs.
silver.
But there were too many people, and this time I received news that this family in Shenjia Village had a large amount of banknotes. The leader only brought five or six confidants to do this. Unexpectedly, he was discovered by his subordinates!
The leader secretly screamed that something was wrong, and just wanted to run towards the door, but felt that his legs were too weak to exert any strength, and soon his eyes turned black and he fainted to the ground.
After several people fell, Ji Xun and Shen Yuyu appeared outside the house holding lamps.
"Let's see if it's him." Before Ji Xun finished speaking, Shen Yuyu went over and took off the leader's scarf. As expected, there was a big mole on his chin. He was the guard at the Baijiacun Iron Mine.
"It's him." Shen Yuyu said, then took the lamp from Ji Xun's hand, and Ji Xun poured the poison extracted from the iron ore into the man's mouth.
Afterwards, the two of them held the money box, blew out the lamps, and quietly slipped away under the moonlight outside.
Not long after, these robbers were awakened by the night wind, "Boss, we have been hacked by our own people! The money box is missing."
"These damn bitches!" the leader cursed fiercely. He felt as if his throat was on fire, burning so badly that his voice was hoarse. He squeezed his throat in discomfort and swallowed hard.
Several of the minions were also very angry. The fat meat they had received flew away, and it was made by their own people. In the middle of the rage, suddenly there was a messy sound of footsteps outside the house.
"No, someone is coming." The leader shouted, "Run." Several of his men fled in all directions, but he himself couldn't exert any effort and was caught by the villagers before he could run very far.
That night, the robber leader was sent to the county government office.
When Mrs. Wang woke up she found that the money box was missing. She was so angry that she spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
The leader was arrested, how could the rest of the bandits escape? Within two days, every one of this group of robbers was taken back to the Yamen.
The confessions were also very exciting, they were biting each other, you blamed me for taking it, I blamed you for taking it.
After searching their lair, only thirty-four taels of silver were found, and six thousand taels of silver notes were stolen by unknown robbers. When Mrs. Wang heard the news, she was so angry that she lay in bed.
At the foot of the North Mountain, Shen Yuehu and Ji Xun secretly laughed when they heard the news. They stayed at Mrs. Wang's house for two or three days before they arrived.
All these six thousand taels of silver will be distributed to the villagers in Baijia Village. I heard that the polluted land there will not be able to grow anything for two or three years, and these poor people are almost desperate.
However, in just a few days, Mrs. Wang's family lost all their money and both of her daughters-in-law ran away. Mrs. Wang was stubborn and became active again after vomiting blood for several days.
"Girl Shen? Girl Shen?" Shen Yuyu was washing vegetables at the mouth of the well that day and was about to go back. Mrs. Wang caught up with her on tiptoe, "I heard that you can get a deposit of two taels of silver for planting peach trees, but is it true?'
Shen Yuyu sneered and said, "Sorry, our deposits are only given to people who are trustworthy."
"I can do it too. I can keep my word. Sign a contract with me. I also want to plant a peach grove." Mrs. Wang looked flattering and humble. She no longer had the arrogance of throwing money at people.
"You can sign a contract." Shen Yuyu stopped and looked at her with a smile, "Tell me, where did Shen Weiwei go? Who picked her up? I'll sign a contract with you once I've made it clear." Everyone said Shen Weiwei She didn't believe that Weiwei had gone to Daqi to be a stepmother for someone else.
Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes and said vaguely, "I'm not Weiwei's mother. How can I know these things?"
"It seems that you are still not short of money, that's all." Shen Yuyu turned around and left, "Come to me again after you think about it clearly. I'll be waiting."
Mrs. Wang twitched the corner of her mouth, trying to get her out of her words for only two taels of silver. Is there such a cheap secret? But Shen Yuyu's words reminded her that the money in her hand was gone, but Yufen had it. , if you use this secret to blackmail her, is it not better than planting a peach tree? Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang walked away happily.
In April, spring plowing began, and Shen Yuyu looked at his few acres of land and felt sad.
"Axun, can you plow a field?"
Ji Xun:……
"Don't worry, I can learn."
"Yeah." Shen Yuyu responded with a smile and encouraged, "Farmers have to learn how to plow fields. Let's go to Uncle Shen's house to borrow oxen and plows to learn this skill so that we can pass it on to us in the future. son. "
"Okay." Ji Xunyun responded calmly, but when he saw the farmer in the rice field with his trouser legs rolled up and following behind the cow's buttocks with a whip, he couldn't help biting his lip.
Soon, Ji Xun carried the plow and Shen Yuhu led the cow, braving the drizzle and heading towards their rice fields.
"Axun, take a closer look at how people plow the fields, and then try to figure it out." Shen Yuyu asked Ji Xun to squat down on a field stem and look at the uncle plowing the fields slowly below.
Ji Xun pondered for a while and felt that he knew it, so he rolled up his trousers and went to the fields.
After getting out of the field, he hung the plow around the neck of the cow. The cow stopped listening and began to plow, sometimes faster and sometimes slower, just not obeying the order. The plow in Ji Xun's hand was crooked and completely out of order. After a while, He was kicked by the cow and was covered in mud.
Ji Xun was stuck in the mud and couldn't move. He watched helplessly as the cow dragged the plow away but he couldn't catch up.
"Yu Yu, being a farmer seems to be more difficult than fighting." Ji Xun shook his head and sighed.
After a lot of effort and a lot of jokes, Ji Xun and Shen Yuyu finally planted seedlings in their several acres of rice fields.
Spring plowing is over, and everyone is starting to plant peach trees like crazy.
Shenjia Village is surrounded by undulating hills. Almost all of these hills were cut down and burned and planted with peach trees.
If this continues within three years, peach blossoms will fill the mountains and plains and become a veritable 'Taoyuan Village'.
