Chapter 29 White-haired girl

Long Biao asked a thug to send the person back. Long Biao brought the rest of the people to the Luo Family Cai's house next door, but did not find a grain of food. As a result, he forced Luo Family Cai to sell her half-grown daughter to pay off the debt. Luo Family Cai's wife said that she was wearing a skin on the bone rack and had a disheveled face. Long Biao looked down on her, but she did not fall into the devil's claws.

After searching one by one, some of them could find one or two bags of rice bran, and some even found some buried grains. Long Biao was very proud.

On the way, they met a group of people led by Ma Mazi's son, who also pulled the young wife and the older girl to pay off the debt, and looked at each other and smiled.

Only, the village chief Mori Zheng's family has not yet moved, and the tenants in his family are all worried. After inquiring secretly, they learned that Li Zheng went to the county town to report the disaster and request a reduction in land tax. The news spread, and the villagers were grateful for Li Zheng's righteousness. They thought that Li Zheng was back, perhaps it was not as fierce and domineering as the two families of Old Master Long and Ma Mazi, bullying men and women, and perhaps they would return the stolen daughter-in-law and daughter.

Gu Yezhou and Ning Sanmei looked at the rice fields outside the village, but they did not even have a grain of rice head left. Seeing this miserable scene, Ning Sanmei couldn't help but feel scared.

Gu Yezhou walked back without saying a word. Ning Sanmei followed behind. When he reached the intersection of his home, he did not continue to go up to Ning Sanmei's house, but turned to his home. Ning Sanmei hurriedly called out: "Sir, where are you going?"

"Go home."

"Don't you go to my house to divide rice?"

"I won't go anymore, you guys can just give me what I should give."

"Then... how much do you give?" Ning Sanmei asked nervously.

Gu Yezhou casually said: "There is not much food, your family has a large population, so I can just give me 20%. Anyway, I still have a bag of rice, which is enough to eat for half a year."

Ning Sanmei's eyes were so moved that she red: "Thank you, sir!"

Gu Yezhou did not turn back, so he walked home. Ning Sanmei went home.

Gu Yezhou walked down the stilt house of Mori Zheng's house and suddenly heard Mo Huaixiang calling him upstairs: "Sir! Come up!"

Gu Yezhou looked up and looked: "Is there anything wrong?"

"Of course! What do I tell you to do if there is nothing?"

Gu Yezhou opened the fence door and stepped in. The yard of Mori Zheng's house was actually very wide. On one side of the stilt house, there was a dam, which was as big as two basketball courts, which were used to dry millet. He went from the stilt house, went up the stilt house, and came to the second floor. He saw Mo Huaixiang looking at him, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at her surging breasts and landed on her brilliant cheek mountain: "Is there anything wrong?"

Mo Huaixiang walked over slowly, her waist was like a thin willow in the wind, her peaks were like ripe white melons, with a faint fragrance. She arrived in front of Gu Yezhou, smiled and her white teeth were neatly: "There is nothing else, I want to ask you to come up and praise you, - You are so amazing, you can see at a glance that the dark clouds are locusts, and you know that where the locusts pass, they will eat all the food. At first I didn't believe it, and I thought you were crazy. But, it turned out that we were crazy. I didn't listen to you. Now, it's good. The whole village can't collect a grain of food except yours. Now everyone should believe you!"

Gu Yezhou remembered the quarrel between Sanzhuzi's family and Ning Sanmei before, and sighed: "I'm afraid they didn't listen to me, but now, except for regret, they are just jealousy. Moreover, I'm afraid that the latter will have more situations. The so-called "no worries but unevenness" are not harvested, and they have not harvested a single grain of rice. Why do we collect it? I'm afraid many people will think so.

Mo Huaixiang was stunned: "No way?"

Gu Yezhou smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I hope it won't be. By the way, I haven't thanked you yet. I sent all the long-term workers to help me harvest rice, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to collect it."

"It's okay, sir, you have a rare talk. Even if it's a big deal, I will help you with it, let alone such a small matter..."

As soon as I said this, I heard a woman downstairs crying and cursing and walked in: "Oh my god Banban, you have no ability, so I pushed me into the fire pit. I was killed by thousands of knives, and I am the most powerful son and grandson..."

Mo Huaixiang and Gu Yezhou looked at each other, and both walked to the corridor and looked down. They found that it was Sanzhuzi's wife, Mizuze, was pulled by a Long family guard and walked forward. Mo Huaixiang asked, "What's going on?"

The ward looked up and looked at Morizheng's daughter, and nodded and bowed, "Sanzhuzi can't pay back the rent from our master, and he is unwilling to go to work hard labor by himself, so he used his wife to pay off the debt."

Gu Yezhou's heart sank, as if he had seen the real version of "White-haired Girl".

Seeing the guards twisting Sanzhuzi's wife away, Gu Yezhou said to Mo Huaixiang: "I'm going back too."

"You won't teach today?"

"I won't teach you anymore, I guess the children don't have this interest either."

"No, the children are all here, reading and writing in the private school. I asked them to wait first, and the sir will come after a while."

Gu Yezhou was a little surprised and walked to the door of the private school. Sure enough, he saw the children writing quietly. When he saw him come in, he stood up to greet him. Gu Yezhou glanced and found that the children of the three wealthy families were there, but the child from the farmer's family did not come. It seemed that although all the rice in the fields of these wealthy families could not be collected, it seemed that the locust plague had no effect on them, but the farmers' families were affected. Judging from the fact that Old Master Long's family arrested his wife to pay off the debt, maybe they hoped that such a disaster would give them the opportunity to bully men and dominate women.

Gu Yezhou didn't have the heart to teach today, so after teaching a few new characters, he arranged for the children to practice calligraphy. He sat aside and stared blankly with a book on his side.

At noon, Mo Huaixiang made a dish of meat to nourish Guyezhou. However, Guyezhou was a little savory and didn't know how to eat it.

On this day, women downstairs were escorted from time to time, either from Old Master Long’s or from Ma Mazi’s. They took turns to go over, and the woman cried and pleaded. At the beginning, Gu Yezhou went to the window to take a look, but later, he stopped looking, and Bai Bai felt uncomfortable after seeing it.

Every day gradually darkened. I was absent. Gu Yezhou walked home with books. Mo Huaixiang sent him to the stairs and met Mori who was coming back from the county government office. He looked at Gu Yezhou and bowed, "Sir, have you been absent?"

"Well, I heard that Li was going to the county government to report the disaster. How about it?"

"It's not very good. Not only here, but almost all the villages in the county have suffered locust plagues, and they have no harvest. Alas, I really don't know what to do. However, the county magistrate said that he will report our disaster to the court truthfully and strive to increase the disaster relief money and food. However, it is probably difficult. Because I heard that the court failed in the battle with the Huang Chao army, and lost a lot of food, grass and soldiers. Once the war is intensified, I'm afraid that disaster relief will be even more difficult."

"I hope the heaven has eyes! Goodbye!" Gu Yezhou stepped down, walked out of the fence, and walked towards his home.

As soon as he walked down the stilt house of his house, Gu Yezhou suddenly noticed that under the shade of the tree outside the old man Long's house in the distance, there were a few figures shaking. It seemed that he saw him and immediately hid in the shade of the tree.

At this time, the sky had dimmed. Gu Yezhou did not stop at his feet. He walked straight forward and walked to the stairs. From here, the other party's sight could no longer see him and was blocked by the shack downstairs.

Gu Yezhou immediately squatted down, put the book in his hand on the stairs, hugged his waist, slowly approached the other party quietly along the shack under his stilt house. Hiding behind a pile of dry firewood, through the gaps of dry firewood, he finally saw clearly the appearance of the people, one was the Sanzhuzi who had quarreled with Ning Sanmei at the entrance of the village before, who refused to borrow water! There were three others, but they were very handsome.

Although Gu Yezhou had only been traveling through time for a few days, he often wandered around the village. There were not many families in the village. Although he had not recognized all of them, he had already recognized one of them. He must have never seen these three people. I don’t know where they came from.

These three people were looking at Old Master Long’s high-walled courtyard. Then, they looked around and looked at no one, touched it, and drew a circle on the door with a piece of red rock and soil.

Then, several people came here. They walked not far from the dry firewood pile where Gu Yezhou was invisible and walked towards Ma Mazi's house above. On the way, a peasant woman carried the firewood of the first proof and walked down the stone path. When she met them, the peasant woman asked, "Sanzhuzi? Where are you going?" Her eyes looked up and down at the three strangers.

Sanzhuzi smiled and said, "Baoya, the crops in the fields were eaten by locusts. There was no way. I asked my cousins ​​to discuss what to do. If it really doesn't work, I could only sell the house. - The three of them are my cousins."

"Oh, that's it, alas, our family has no choice but to chop firewood and sell it in the city to see if we can make some money. Life is hard, there is no way." After that, he carried the firewood and walked along the stone road. Sanzhuzi also took the three strangers up.

Gu Yezhou followed and hid in the grass to watch. They looked outside Mamazi's high-walled courtyard for a while. Sanzhuzi whispered to them, then looked around and saw that no one was around, and then used the red rock to draw a red circle on the door of Mamazi's house. Then, they continued to walk towards another stilt house as if nothing had happened.

Gu Yezhou did not follow him anymore. He couldn't figure out what these people were going to do and why he had to draw a circle on other people's doors.

Gu Yezhou slowly returned home and when he walked down the stilt house, it was already dark.

PS: Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. I really envy those who can go home to have a reunion dinner with the elderly and relatives. As for me, I can only miss my relatives much in the snowy area in the clouds.

Although the Spring Festival Gala is already bored, what can I do if I don’t watch it? I hope there is a program for me to remember.
