The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

   Chapter 185 186 Shijia Village

In Qinglong Village, Tu Gang limped to the Bazi on the top of the mountain, lay on a pile of hay, looked at Zuo Qing practicing there, thinking secretly; how to fool Zuo Qing to make Zuo Qing agree to him Take people down the mountain for revenge.

   After racking his brains for a long time, he suddenly thought: After ten days in the stockade, we will go down the mountain to harvest grain, so we can bring the brothers who are harvesting grain with us! right! Just do it!

After Tu Gang thought about it, he went back and poured a basin of warm water. He brought it to Zuo Qing's Bazi where he practiced the exercises, wet the handkerchief and handed it to Zuo Qing. That old horse is still at Xiao Taohong's house! I want to go down the mountain with Uncle Cai and the others, and exchange the old horse for it, can you see it?"

   Zuo Qing took the veil, looked at Tu Gang's flattering appearance, tapped him on the head, and said with a smile, "You boy, did you like another lady in the city?"

Tu Gang was staggered by Zuo Qing, and after standing firm, the dog-legged thumbs up and smiled: "Big brother's kung fu has improved again, when will big brother take us to eat Hutouzhai, our Qinglong Village is The first big village."

Zuo Qing listened to Tu Gang's flattering words and smiled smugly, "You boy, don't think that you don't know about your care, and for the sake of your happiness, you will be with Uncle Cai when you receive the food. down the mountain."

   "Thank you, big brother." Tu Gang bent down and took the towel that Zuo Qing handed him. After washing it, he waited on Zuo Qing diligently.

Zhou Jia and Tu Dianshi went to Shijia Village near the city. Most of the people in the village were surnamed Shi. Zhou Jia saw that almost all the houses in the village were thatched houses. It's a tile, but it's also some years old.

  The village chief's daughter-in-law wiped and wiped the bench before bringing it to the yard. She put it there tremblingly, bowed her body and saluted, "Sir, please take a seat. We in the countryside don't even have a good bench."

   Zhou Jia smiled and sat down, politely, "It's okay, auntie, when I escaped from the desert a few years ago, I sat on the ground and slept in the cave! Everyone sits!"

After the village chief and the clan elder sat down cautiously, they complained bitterly: "Sir, although this year's harvest is a little better, only 40% of the harvest has actually fallen into our hands. I'm so hungry that I'm left with a layer of skin." The village chief wiped away his old tears, "Sir! Anyone in Qingchuan City who has a little family background and a little knowledge have moved to other places to make a living. We have no skills, and it is difficult to leave our homeland. Only stayed. During the drought, only 20 households in our village escaped from the famine and came back from the famine. Together, there were only 30 households. There were not enough people to work. Don't leave us alive!"

Zhou Jia looked at the village chief and the clan elders, all of them looked miserable and thin, and his heart was sour. He stood up and bowed to the village chief and the surrounding villagers: "My fellow villagers, everyone believes in Zhou. If so, just delay it for a while and hand over the food to the bandits later, Zhou will find a way to relieve everyone's worries and let everyone live a peaceful and peaceful life."

  The village chief and the clan elders saw Zhou Jia bowing to them, and they quickly followed suit. The Shi clan elder trembled and said to Zhou Jia, "Sir, it can be delayed for at most half a month, and we won't dare!"

   Zhou Jia thought to himself after hearing this: Half a month old; Xu Chun should have returned with reinforcements, even if it was too late, Yu'er, Ruyi, Xu Dong, plus his three-legged cat kung fu, should be able to protect a village's food.

   After thinking about it, Zhou Jia whispered to the clan elder: "If you always believe me, when the time comes to pay the grain, you will have someone come to the Tudian historian to let him know, and this official will bring people to protect everyone's grain."

After hearing this, the    clan elder's eyes lit up, and he fixed his eyes on Zhou Jiadao: "Can you really protect the adults?"

   Zhou Jia said in a positive tone: "You gather all the people in the village together, don't spread them apart, and it should not be a problem to protect your village."

The old man of the    tribe stood up straight with a cane, "Okay, at first glance, your lord is different from those of the old officials. The old man believed him once, and he had someone tell him on the first day of handing over the food."

   Zhou Jia supported the clan elder and said firmly: "Okay, let's work together to defend the enemy together."

The    clan elder and the village chief bowed and thanked: "Okay, everyone in the old Han generation would like to thank Lord Zhou."

   Zhou Jia stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Protecting you is my official duty. Elder Shi and Village Chief Shi, it's getting late, so we're leaving."

  Xu Dong and Tu Dianshi also stood up and said goodbye. The village chief Shi and the clan elders sent Zhou Jia and the others to the outside of the village, watched the carriage go away, and then returned to the village.

  Shi Village Chief said to the clan elder: "Clan Lord, are we really going to tell the news to Lord Zhou?"

The clan elder was on crutches and looked at the unfinished rice in the rice field, "I think this Lord Zhou and the previous dog officials are not the same way, and if we are blackmailed by the wolves on the mountain, we will only have one dead end. Let's just bet once, and let the children have a good meal too."

  Shi Village Chief touched his deflated belly, recalling how he had eaten and drank before, "Yeah! Let the children have a full stomach, sitting there, lazy and not wanting to move."

   Zhou Jia came home and saw that Li Yu was leading people along the courtyard wall and filled it with sharpened bamboos. Knowing that Li Yu was starting to guard against bandits, he also got busy together.

Steward Ouyang woke up from hunger and found himself still in the boundless darkness. As if he heard a faint voice, he hurriedly shouted in a hoarse voice, "Is there anyone? Please say something! What are you trying to do? Say it!" Everyone was busy installing traps, and no one paid any attention to Ouyang Steward's shout.

   Li Yu and Zhou Jia took Ruyi to the cellar, Zhou Jia said to Li Yu, "Yu'er, Ruyi said that the mountain bandit named Tu Gang lied to you and didn't tell you the exact route?"

   "Yes, I didn't expect to scare the guy, it seems that they still have to give them some hardship before they can tell the truth."

When a few people arrived at the entrance of the cellar, Li Yu glanced at Ruyi, made a gesture, pointed to the bottom, Ruyi understood, and said loudly to Zhou Jia, "Master, Madam asked me to do the iron brush, until... turned into a complete skeleton."

Steward Ouyang was overjoyed when he heard the footsteps and voices, and finally someone came. He pricked up his ears and found that the sound was coming from above. He heard Ruyi talking about how to use an iron brush to wash people into bones, scaring them. Gains and loses shouted, "Someone! Help! Let me out!"

   Zhou Jia was also disgusted by the cold. He lifted his feet and went down to the cellar. Looking at Ouyang, he asked coldly, "It's not impossible to let you out. Tell me first, what are you doing in Qingchuan?"

   Steward Ouyang quibble: "Master, I am a passing businessman. Please let me go if I deliver goods to Zuo Da's family in Qinglong Village."
