MTL - The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor-Chapter 1060 revenge

Chapter 1060 Revenge

Early when Mo Yan decided to resettle tens of thousands of soldiers at the border who could no longer go to the battlefield and did not have much labor force, Qi Nan roughly told Zhao Mu about the situation.

Therefore, Zhao Mu has been paying attention to the situation of each soldier in the past few months. After the news is confirmed, he will select the old soldiers who will have difficulty surviving this winter. Even if they cannot escape death in the end, he hopes that they can get The last warmth will prevent you from dying miserably in the cold wind.

 Excluding nearly half of the elderly, the remaining half retain part of the labor force and cannot do heavy work, but there is no problem with weeding, planting trees, watering, and loosening soil. They made a living by farming in the border areas and had already mastered their unhealthy bodies. The only difference was that they worked slower than normal people.

However, not only were these half of the people not the most miserable and tiring people who had ever experienced border crossing, they actually had a pretty good life. Sending so many old people who have completely lost their labor force at once is already taking advantage, and then allocates the remaining half of the quota to other soldiers who have no labor force. Not to mention that Zhao Mu can't do it, even those soldiers will feel that shame. Therefore, after some discussion, the other half became the most capable group of tens of thousands of retired soldiers.

It was only after they arrived here that they realized that everything they got could not be repaid. Although they could not see anything on their faces, they felt a little uneasy in their hearts. They even had the idea of ​​leaving here and returning to the border.

Zhao Mu knew very well what his companions were thinking. He did not directly persuade his companions to accept it, but used another method to persuade them to stay with peace of mind.

Everyone looked at Zhao Mu in silence, agreeing with what he said. They have never regarded themselves as worthless waste, so they cannot accept help from others without a bottom line. Since they accepted it, they had to repay it, but now what they got was far more than they expected, and they were worried that they would not be able to repay it in their entire lives.

Xu Shi saw what they were thinking, and Zhao Mu continued: "The doctors who treated us today are all famous in the capital. Although they can't make people grow limbs again, they can at least cure our hidden injuries and let us live a long time." A little! If our kindness to Lord Hejia cannot be fully paid off in one year, then it will be two years. If we cannot finish it in two years, it will be three years... As long as we live well, we will be able to repay it one day."

Having said this, Zhao Mu paused for a moment and said jokingly: "If we die within two days, we will truly feel sorry for Lord Hejia, and also for General Qi who has been running back and forth for us. Even the good intentions of General Xiao and His Royal Highness have to be disappointed."

After listening to these words, everyone was thoughtful. A few people came to their senses first and stood up and said loudly to Zhao Mu: "Mu Mu, brother knows what you mean. Don't worry, brother will take good care of himself and will not let down the good intentions of the commander and the others."

"Well, just take care of yourself. Don't let us live a long life by then. You kid will go ahead first."

"Haha, you are such a noisy kid. You just don't say this tonight. Are we just fools who can't turn a corner? This place is so good. Even if you drive me away now, I won't leave, so I'll just stay. Take good care of yourself and be a good farmer."

　　　…”

There are more and more voices responding to Zhao Mu, and even the old people who don't know whether they can survive this winter have rekindled their hope. They think that they have lived a clean life for most of their lives and do not want to owe more debts to others when they are old. Now that there is a chance to repay, no one is willing to drag this debt into the ground.

 Zhao Mu had a big smile on his face, his face was still pale but he couldn't hide his happiness. He was really happy to be able to arouse the will to survive in these companions who would accompany him day and night in the future, and it was not in vain for General Qi's entrustment to him.

The next day, Mo Yan woke up from her sleep and touched the still warm area on her side, secretly despising herself for becoming more and more like a pig. She didn't even know when the people around her left.

At this time, Mao Tuan came in with a grunt and looked at the owner who was changing clothes, his little eyes were particularly resentful.

Mo's face became hot, and he walked over and touched its head to comfort him: "Don't be sad, he won't come again tonight, you can sleep with me."

Upon hearing this, Mao Tuan's eyes widened, and he stretched out his rough tongue and gently licked Mo Yan's hand to express his joy.

 It’s hot in summer, and Hairball is also very afraid of the heat. He usually sleeps in his own cabin or lies under Mo Yan’s bed. But in winter, it became very clingy and insisted on sleeping on Mo Yan's bed with her.

 Since October this year, the weather has become very cold, and hairballs have begun to crawl into the bed again. It's just that this time there's a person he hates who often comes over to **** the bed from him, which makes him extremely dissatisfied. Because of Mo Yan, it could only endure this tone for the time being, and then retaliate harshly when the opportunity arose later.

 “Ouch-owoo-”

Thinking of being able to sleep with his soft and fragrant owner at night, Mao Tuan murmured excitedly. Although the force had been reduced to the minimum, the barbs on its tongue were too sharp and it still licked the back of Mo Yan's hand red.

As soon as the hair ball saw it, he immediately stopped licking it and used his huge head to rub Mo Yan's waist. His actions showed his deep attachment to his owner.

Mo Yan sighed, stroked its big furry head and said, "You are too clingy. If I find a wife for you in the future, and you still sleep with me, what will happen if your wife gets angry and doesn't want you anymore?"

As soon as he heard that he was looking for a wife, Mao Tuan's ears turned red with embarrassment, but he couldn't tell because of his thick hair.

Xue Tuanzi in the space was unwilling to be alone and started to join in the fun: "Yan Yan, instead of worrying about this idiot's future wife being angry, you should worry about yourself! One day you get married to that kid, and if the hair ball is on your wedding bed , I don’t think you two will ever do anything shameful in this life.”

Mo Yan didn't know that Xue Tuanzi could say such a thing. She was embarrassed and annoyed for a moment, and immediately rushed to the space to settle the score with this guy who said nothing.

 She didn’t have time to take her hand back, and the hair ball was also brought in. It couldn't hear the conversation between Xue Tuanzi and Mo Yan in its consciousness outside. It only knew that its owner was suddenly angry, but it didn't know what she was angry about.

"Xue Tuanzi, come here!" Seeing Xue Tuanzi trying to run away, Mo Yan shouted, but Xue Tuanzi flew towards her uncontrollably and was caught in her palm.

Although the space is very large and you can’t see the sides when standing in the middle, Xue Tuanzi is a tool spirit and Mo Yan is its master. If the master gives orders, even if it runs to the edge of the sky, it can only return to Mo Yan obediently.

Xue Tuanzi never told Mo Yan about this, but once it made Mo Yan angry and ran away from it. Mo Yan shouted "come here" like today, and it came over uncontrollably. Only then did Mo Yan know that this guy couldn't escape her grasp.

"Woo, Yan Yan, I was wrong, I was wrong, please let me go, I will never dare to do it again!" Xue Tuanzi, who had suffered losses several times, was very sensible, and the moment he was pinched in Mo Yan's hand , and began to pretend to be pitiful and beg for mercy.

"Don't you dare anymore? Humph, how many times have you said this to yourself? When did you really remember it?" Mo Yan sneered and asked: "Since you don't have a long memory, then I will help you."

 After saying that, Mo Yan held the snow dumpling with one hand and reached out to its snail eyes with the other.

Xue Dumpling is a fleshy ball with itchy spots all over its body, especially the base of the snail's eye, which is its most sensitive spot.

Sure enough, as soon as Mo Yan tickled him, Xue Tuanzi began to howl like a ghost: "Ouch - stop scratching - I'm going to die - I'm really going to die - Ouch - let me, let me die -"

Xue Tuanzi’s voice was so loud that the whole space was shaken by it. Mo Yan was the closest to it and almost went crazy from the noise. Although her consciousness was closed, Snow Tuanzi had no mouth. She had no idea what it was using to make sounds, and there was no way to block the source of the sound. After a few scratches, she couldn't stand it anymore and had to stop.

"I'll let you go this time. If you dare to talk nonsense next time, you won't be able to listen to the three stories every day."

This threat was very useful. Xuetuanzi hurriedly nodded his snail eyes and said with a cry in his voice: "I don't dare anymore. I don't dare anymore. If I talk nonsense again, you won't tell me any more stories."

 Mo Yan didn’t know how long this guy could remember. Seeing that he had a good attitude towards admitting his mistake, he didn’t give it any more trouble.

However, Xue Tuanzi shouted "wrong" and refused to admit that he was wrong at all. Now, he started talking "nonsense" seriously again: "Yan Yan, what I just said is really possible, you can't be used to it anymore. You are such an idiot, otherwise if you get married to that boy, he will still rely on you to sleep, are you sure you will have a wedding night?"

Mo Yan's forehead throbbed. He resisted the urge to beat the snow dumplings and slice them into braised vegetables. He said gloomily: "If you dare to say another word, believe it or not, I will scratch you to death today!"

When Xue Tuanzi heard this, he immediately hid behind Mao Tuan's buttocks, shrank his fleshy little body and said, "I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore."

Mo Yan deliberately kept a cold face and flew a few threatening eye daggers at Xue Tuanzi. Seeing Xue Tuanzi shivering in fear, he finally let it go and took the fur ball out of the space.

The hairy ball looked at its owner who had its back, and a glint flashed in its humanized tiger eyes: It seemed that it had found a way to retaliate against the person who stole the owner and the bed from him!

After a short delay, when Mo Yan came to the kitchen, Li Xiu had already boiled a pot of water.

Seeing Mo Yan rolling up his sleeves and about to take action, Li Xiu, who was lighting a fire under the stove, quickly stopped him: "There is a man named Zhao Mu who is looking for you. He is waiting in the main hall. You go out and have a look."

 Yesterday Qi Nan specially introduced Zhao Mu to Mo Yan, so Mo Yan naturally knew who Zhao Mu was. When she heard that this man came to look for himself early in the morning, she thought something was wrong, nodded to Li Xiu, and hurried to the main hall.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Zhao Mu stood up and looked towards the source of the sound, and saw a slim figure walking over. When he saw the face of the visitor clearly, he took a step forward and bowed in salute: "Zhao Mu pays homage to the county prince."

Mo Yan turned aside and said with a smile: "Zhao...Captain Zhao, please get up quickly. I don't have so many rules here."

Originally she wanted to call him "General Zhao" to show respect, but Mo Yan suddenly remembered that Zhao Mu retired due to injury. If she called him that again, it would be adding salt to his wounds, so she quickly changed her words so as not to be rude.

Zhao Mu looked solemn and said: "The etiquette cannot be discarded. The county prince should receive a courtesy from Zhao Mu." After saying this, he bowed respectfully.

Mo Yan had no choice but to accept this gift. After Zhao Mu stood up and asked him to sit down, he asked with concern: "Captain Zhao came here early in the morning, but what's wrong with the arrangements?"

Zhao Mu felt warm in his heart and said gratefully: "There is nothing better than this! This time I came here to provide food for three hundred people every day."

Mo Yan heard this and asked, "But everyone is not used to eating rice?"

 Yesterday at noon and evening, the staple food was rice, and the dishes were wild boar steak stewed with Chinese cabbage, pickles and potatoes. No wonder there were only two dishes, there were too many people and it was busy, so I had to pick up the simple ones.

"No, no, no, the Lord has misunderstood! At the border, it would be great to have potatoes and rice bran every day. Many people have not seen rice for many years, and they rarely even smell the smell of meat. These are all thanks to the Lord. Blessed." Zhao Mu said, with a look of gratitude on his face again.

 Mo Yan felt very sour in her heart as she listened. In the past, in Mojia Village, the siblings could not protect the rice their father brought back when they were young, so they could only eat rice bran and vegetables every day. Only on the day their father came home could they eat white rice and a little meat.

　Now that I think about it, those days seem like a dream.

Mo Yan put aside her thoughts and listened to Zhao Mu continue: "Many of us can cook, so we can cook by ourselves, but we need to get the daily ingredients from the Lord."

 At the end, Zhao Mu was very embarrassed. It was winter, and there was nothing to do in the orchards or medicine gardens. It was embarrassing to think that so many of them had to eat and drink for free for months.

Mo Yan pretended not to see his embarrassment and said with a smile: "Originally, I wanted to wait for you to adapt to this place and let you cook by yourself. Since you brought it up first, I won't be polite. You will do it later." Find a few people to move over today’s ingredients!”

A large canteen was built there, equipped with boilers and kitchen utensils, and several wells were dug next to it. Water was very convenient, and a fire could be made for cooking at any time.

 “Thank you, Lord!” Zhao Mu stood up and thanked him, feeling somewhat calm in his heart.

The two chatted a lot about other people's illnesses and hidden illnesses, and their relationship with each other became much closer, and the previous feeling of unfamiliarity gradually disappeared.

After Zhao Mu left, he quickly called a few soldiers who could carry and carry the rice, grains and vegetables away. It's still early and there's still time to make breakfast.

Xin'er, Li Xiu and the others were relieved to know that they no longer had to cook for three hundred people. After breakfast, they sat in the small room and warmed themselves by the fire while doing needlework. Even the youngest Sheng'er was holding an embroidery needle. Make a wallet in a decent way.

Tang Xin sat at the table with a bead in one hand and a pen in the other, calculating the daily net income from greenhouse vegetables and each family's points. She calculated the vegetable money that each household could get in the first half of the month. The fifteenth day will be a good time to go on.

This year we are well prepared and there are many people participating in greenhouse planting, so the vegetable seeds are planted much earlier than last year. As soon as October enters, vegetables with a short growth time are on the market, and they have been sold for half a month now.

Mo Yan was the one who had the most leisure time. The batch of cotton-padded clothes she had to make had been made a few days ago. Sister-in-law Cai and the others asked Sister-in-law Cai and the others to get the measurements and fabrics to make the remaining linings and shoes at home. Just bring it over when the time comes, and she will be completely free. Mo Yan had no interest in doing needlework, so he just held a medical book and read it.

This medical book talks about "Dushi's Nine Acupuncture". It only talks about the history and acupuncture techniques of Du's Nine Acupuncture. To truly understand the essence, you have to practice it. There are only nine Duchenne needles, which means that only nine needles are needed to treat any disease. The Du Shi Nine Needles use gold needles instead of ordinary silver needles.

There are no specific acupuncture points for these nine needles, and there will be subtle changes according to the difference of the disease. Except for the ancestor who created the Du family's nine-needle acupuncture method, these changes can be fully mastered. Hundreds of years have passed, and no other person has appeared. Even though Dr. Du has studied carefully over the years, he has only mastered a hundred types so far.

Mo Yan has read this book over and over a hundred times. Every word has been deeply imprinted in her mind, but every time she opens it and reads it carefully, she will gain new insights.

　　When Old Doctor Du gave this book to Mo Yan, he said that the day Mo Yan could no longer understand new things would be the time when he would officially teach Du's Nine Needles.

Only after watching it from beginning to end this time, Mo Yan didn’t have any insights, so she had to put it down and watch it next time. If it still doesn't work, go to the master.

At this time, Tang Xin's accounts were also finished, and she handed the account book to Mo Yan for verification to avoid errors.

Mo Yan read it carefully and found no problem, but the amount of each family's share above surprised her: "I didn't expect that each family could get so much. It seems that there will be a lot of new houses in the village next year." .”

The number of households participating this year is more than double that of last year, and the planting area has tripled. Although merchants in many surrounding towns have placed a large number of orders, the relationship between supply and demand is still not as tight as last year, so the price of vegetables is not as good as in previous years. high.

"Isn't this just taking advantage of Sister Yan Yan!" Tang Xin joked, and then said: "Although the price of vegetables is a little lower, there are a lot more customers coming to buy vegetables, so the amount of money each family gets is just the same. It’s only three or four taels less than last year.”

Mo Yan nodded, secretly happy that another big wave of merit was coming.

"Fortunately, the weather is good this year and we didn't encounter the heavy snowstorm like the year before last. Otherwise, we wouldn't have made so much money." Tang Xin looked happy. From the beginning of winter to now, there have been two snowfalls, but they were not heavy. , the world melted.

Hearing this, Mo Yan casually reminded: "People on night watch should pay more attention. The coldest period has not yet arrived."

"Well, I will tell the village chief and ask him to remind those people." Tang Xin replied carefully. In her heart, Mo Yan is a person protected by God. Even if it is just a casual reminder, she will treat it carefully. .

No one thought that this reminder would become a reality. When a disaster happened, Mo Yan couldn't help but suspect that he had a crow's mouth...

This typhoon was so severe that my area was also greatly affected. It rained heavily all day and all night. The clothes I got at work today were soaked. The company had a power outage. It took me a long time to come... I don’t know if you are in Xiamen. Dear, you must pay more attention when traveling in these two days!
