Chapter 71 Martial Arts Practice!
"Han Niang, you didn't mean it. In the past, we often drank well water at home and drank it from the well, but it didn't happen like this!"
"Yes, it must be the moon. The water in the lake is too dirty.”
“Oh my god~ Han Niang just drank a few sips. Those people who live near Moon Lake will get seriously ill if they drink raw water every day!”
Before, I was complaining about people rushing on their way, but my eyes began to dodge.
No one dared to ignore the issue of drinking water safety anymore, and at the same time, they began to secretly target the women of Liu Zhao Village.
As soon as the meals were distributed to the women in Liuzhao Village at noon, someone took advantage of the government officials to snatch them away while they were not paying attention.
The people who robbed did not dare to be too obvious. They only robbed a few people. After the robbery, they fiercely threatened the women in Liu Zhao Village not to tell anyone.
The lunch distributed today is multi-grain steamed buns, which is better than black steamed buns.
The old rules are still the same. Those who participated in the war before were given an extra point of meat, two pickles, and half a bowl more water than the prisoners who did not participate in the war.
After the children in the main room of the Shen family got the dried meat, they stayed by the Yamen's side and ate before leaving. The government officials had asked them to do this before, and they didn't think anything was wrong.
Everyone in the other rooms of the Shen family looked at them with jealous eyes. The difference from before was that they would not ask the people in the first room to give them food.
"Mother, I heard from my eldest brother that children who practice martial arts can get some food every time they go to Lan Xi's place." Shen Congyi planned with shrewd eyes.
Old Mrs. Shen’s eyebrows moved, her son’s words reminded her.
"Call your eldest brother over!"
Shen Congyi: "Second brother, go!"
Shen Conglian didn't want to move, so Mrs. Shen glared at her unsympathetically. I went as I wished.
"Mom, can you use pickles?" Shen Congwen handed over the remaining half of the steamed bun and the pickles.
Mrs. Shen frowned subconsciously. She didn't like this kind of vulgar food.
“If mother doesn’t eat, I will eat!” Shen Conglian stretched out his hand and tried to grab it. One steamed bun for each meal could only fill his stomach but not fill him up. He would starve to death every day!
When Mrs. Shen saw her second son snatching the eldest son's food, she remembered all the things she had done to buy buns in Yicheng before, and immediately scolded him coldly.
"Second brother, give the food back to your eldest brother. You took away your eldest brother's food. Do you want to starve your eldest brother to death?"
Shen Conglian has never heard his mother say anything to him After saying so coldly, he immediately drooped his eyes and reluctantly gave the eldest brother the steamed buns and pickles.
"What are you saying, mother? I thought Lan Xi was giving food to my eldest brother, but she didn't like steamed buns and pickles." Shen Conglian muttered in explanation.
Mrs. Shen knew that her second son wanted to save face, so she didn't want to show off.
"Congwen, there are constant dangers along the way. This is not the way to go!"
Shen Congwen nodded: "I just heard Liu Laohu say that even if there is no shortage of water, the road ahead will not be smooth. ! "
Mrs. Shen said: "The men in the family must be able to protect themselves. I think Yuan Jing and the others are very good. They are very capable in fighting with others. "
Shen Congwen. I felt very relieved when I heard this, and a happy smile appeared on my face.
“My son doesn’t want them to be able to defeat one against a hundred, he just wants them to have the ability to protect themselves!”
Originally, Mrs. Shen was just coveting the food she got from Shen Lanxi, but when she heard what her eldest son said, she had other thoughts in her mind.
"When Yuan Jing and the others go to Lan Xi to practice martial arts again, ask them to take the children in your three brothers' rooms. We are a family, and we can't write two characters in one sentence. If something happens, We must always keep watch and help each other!”
Shen Congwen felt that what his mother said was very reasonable. If they encounter someone who attacks them in the future, having someone who knows how to fight will give them more help.
"I'm going to tell Yuan Jing and the others!"
As soon as Shen Congwen walked away, Shen Conglian couldn't sit still anymore. "Mother, let's follow the children to practice martial arts. I think I can do it too~"
When Shen Yuanjing and his sister stood in front of Shen Lanxi again, there was a large group of people behind them.
"Brother, they also want to practice martial arts with me!" Shen Yuanjing was embarrassed to raise his head.
Shen Lanxi looked at her second uncle who was hiding far behind, and the little baby who was standing in front, walking unsteadily and needing someone to hold her.
“Okay, they don’t have the foundation yet, let them follow Chunxue and Qiu Shuang to lay the foundation!”
Shen Yuanjing secretly raised his head and glanced at his eldest sister, remaining silent. After everyone left, he sneaked back.
"Brother, I'm sorry!"
Shen Lanxi looked at her younger brother, raised her hand and patted his shoulder.
"Yuanjing, don't put all the responsibilities on your own shoulders. You are still a half-grown child."
Shen Yuanjing frowned: "I am the eldest man. The eldest among them is responsible for revitalizing our Shen family!"
Shen Lanxi looked at him and opened her lips slightly: "Okay, you, the man, will hand out the pastries later! There are many rewards for those who work hard, but there are no cheaters! If they cause trouble, you can arrange it yourself!"
Shen Yuanjing suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavy again, but a sense of responsibility emerged from the bottom of his heart.
His eyes were clear and he said seriously: "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely supervise them!"
Shen Lanxi smiled lightly and went to arrange for Mrs. Wang's family to prepare pastries in the future.
I just practiced for a day, and Liu Yan came back the next day.
"Young Master..." Liu Yanhui was a little shy and looked embarrassed!
Shen Lanxi: "Say!"
Liu Yanhui understood her temper a little, and did not dare to waste any more time. He said bluntly: "Can my sister and I practice martial arts together?"
After he finished speaking, he followed up with an explanation: "We don't want pastries, we just want to practice so that we can protect ourselves if we encounter trouble next time!"
I thought it would cost more. After a lot of talking, maybe she might not agree, but I didn’t expect~
“Yes, I will give pastries to anyone who follows me. If your mother is fine, you can ask her to help Mrs. Wang’s family make pastries!
Liu Yan's eyes immediately burst out with a strange light. He quickly thanked him and went to inform his family.
Just like what she said before, the further he walked towards Jinmen, the more the vegetation became. After walking for one day, everyone knew that there was no need to worry about water anymore.
After walking for two more days, the exile team saw smoke coming from dozens of chimneys in the distance. It was noon! , it’s just time to make lunch.
“There should be Gulan Village ahead. ”
The officials rode horses to investigate and returned soon to report the news.
“It’s Gulan Village, yes.”
Because of the previous experience in Liuzhao Village, the Yamen specially explained: “They are all people who came back from farming!”< br>
Everyone in the team smiled.
With land, there will be no trouble, and they can finally have a rest!
“Let’s go to Gulan Village to exchange for some food.”
Since they left the capital, they have eaten food several times. They can pick it up with one hand. Come and count.
To put it bluntly, if they don’t eat some vegetables to moisten their intestines, they will not be able to get out of the pit!
