Chapter 698 Quarrel
She didn't want to become the host of the half-blood worms and raise worms for A Ling.
Ah Hei looked down on her: "You are as cowardly as a mouse!"
Bang! Jiang Dalang hit him on the calf. Ah Hei almost fell to his knees. He turned around and glared at Jiang Dalang: "How dare you hit me!"
Jiang Dalang: "When we were in the mountains, we agreed that both sides could launch a surprise attack at any time, and the winner would be at his own risk."
These words left Ah He speechless, and he wished he could strangle himself for making this agreement.
The chief of the village: “…”
The kid surnamed Jiang was so quick that even he didn’t react until his grandson was hit.
He was old, and the location of the village was discovered by the Wei army.
Fortunately, the Wei army did not force them to register their household registration and abide by the rules outside the mountain, otherwise...
"Go and take a look at the workshop." The village chief said.
"Hey, please come in." Qin Xiaomi is sometimes a very polite person.
She brought the mountain people into the workshop and showed them around each workshop...except for the two workshops that produced the secret formula packages and color-fixing water.
The secret recipe belongs to the imperial court. If it is learned by the mountain people, she will be beheaded. After all, the mountain people nowadays have no household registration and live on their bodies, so it is difficult to catch them, but it is easy to arrest her family.
He also asked Xu Zhengmao's Tao to come over and show them how to dye cloth on the spot.
The mountain folks were not too surprised. They also used various colored plants to dye in the mountains. What surprised them was that "it could actually change color!"
After adding some powder into the colored soup, the original color will change, either into bright red, emerald green, or peach pink.
In short, it is magical and beautiful.
And the most amazing thing is: "The cloth you dye does not fade."
They used flower and plant juice to dye the clothes, but the color would fade once it came into contact with water, so before they did anything big, they would dye the clothes again.
Qin Xiaomi smiled and said, "If you like it, I will give each of you a colored cloth as a return gift later."
Ah Ling immediately said, "Okay, we like this return gift, thank you sister."
The third village chief: "..."
This damn girl A Ling can no longer control her infidelity. He has to talk to the village chief and it would be best if he could find a new fiancée for Ah Hei.
After A Ling’s family goes to the First Village, they will trick all the mountain residents of the First Village into moving out of the mountain!
"Come on, I'll take you to the Xinhongzhu Workshop to see where they make pine oil candles." Qin Xiaomi took them to the Xinhongzhu Workshop.
They didn't visit the factory that needed to be kept secret, but just looking at the other factories was enough to shock the mountain people.
"Candles, candles are made like this."
So shocked.
In their mountain, they use torches for lighting, and no one makes candles.
Qin Xiaomi: "I'll give you some new red candles as a return gift."
Therefore, at the beginning of the Shen period, when the mountain people were about to leave, they happily returned to the Xue family's warehouse, carrying new red candles, new colored cloth, new pigment powder, and kudzu powder cakes, which were gifts of the new things invented by the Qin family.
"Captain, Ah Hei, Aunt Ah Lan... you're back!" When the mountain soldiers saw them, they came over and asked, "What did you eat at the Qin family today? We had seafood, which they said came from the southern sea. It was delicious, fresh and fragrant."
"And that kudzu powder and osmanthus cake is so beautiful..."
"Chestnut cakes are delicious, but they make your throat choke. But General Jiang's wife's family gave us winter melon sweet tea. When we choke, we drink a sip of winter melon sweet tea. It's delicious."
The mountain people and soldiers talked about today's banquet with joy on their faces, and the village chief looked dazed... The kids seemed to really like the life outside the mountains.
They always keep them in the mountains. Is this right or wrong?
When the third leader saw this, he realized that the first leader's heart was leaning towards the outside of the mountain again, and he became angry and anxious.
Therefore, after dark, when the parties gathered together to discuss whether to cooperate with the Qin family, the third village chief strongly opposed it: "The Qin family has bad intentions. They bribed our young people with a meal. If we continue to interact with the Qin family, the young people will come outside the mountain more often. I'm afraid they will secretly move their families outside the mountain without telling us old people!"
"Captain, if the young guys run away, our mountain will be finished. You must restrain them and don't let them get too arrogant!"
He cursed Lan Hu again: "It was this guy who brought the Wei army back to our village. If the Wei army massacres our village in the future, or requires us to register our household registration, pay various taxes, and perform corvée labor, Lan Hu will be the sinner of all the mountain people and he should be burned to death!"
"Burn Brother Ah Hu to death? No, it's not that serious." Ah Hei and Lan Hu are also good brothers. Although he is also angry that Lan Hu, Uncle Ah He and others brought people into the village, he would not be so angry as to take Ah Hu's life.
The third village chief: "Not that serious? You are outside the mountain now, you can take this opportunity to ask around and see how difficult life is outside the mountain."
"Why did the Qin and Jiang families come here? It was because their hometown was hit by a disaster and the imperial court did not provide relief. They had no other way to survive, so they had to flee to find a way to survive."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"When there is no disaster, they pay various taxes to the court. When there is a disaster, the court ignores them and they flee from the famine in misery... If we continue to contact people outside the mountains, I'm afraid we will have to live the same life as the Qin and Jiang families!"
"But the Qin and Jiang families are living a good life now." Ah Hei said softly. Although he hated Jiang Dalang and his sinister fiancée, he saw the good life of the Qin and Jiang families.
The third village chief: "..."
Where did this fool come from?
"Captain, life outside the mountains means that you have to give seven out of ten of your hard-earned money to the imperial court. Do you want all the mountain folks to live such a miserable life?"
"So you want the kids to continue living like savages?!" Aunt Alan counted on her fingers, "Houses. We live in wooden houses and grass houses. A lot of people freeze to death every winter."
"For food, besides the prey we eat weeds, fruits, roots and potatoes. How many bugs did we get from eating? The A Tu family in your Third Village was eaten to death by bugs. Their bodies couldn't even be buried. They had to be burned. When they were burned, live bugs ran out of their bodies!"
"The mountains are full of moisture, which rots bones. How many women have died giving birth? How many newborns died within a month of birth because they couldn't adapt to the moisture in the mountains?"
"Life outside the mountain is indeed restricted in every way, but is life inside the mountain really good? I'm afraid you, the third village chief, are the only ones who think life inside the mountain is good. After all, even if four of your wives died and seven of your children died, you can still rely on your status as the village chief to marry a new wife and have new children!"
"You stopped the kids from leaving the mountain because you're afraid that they'll all run away and there'll be no one left to serve you, the third village leader!"
"You bitch, you are slandering me!" The third village chief was enraged and drew his sword to chop Aunt Alan.
The chief of the stronghold went to stop them personally.
boom!
The third village chief pushed him down, and the room fell silent, thus stopping the fight that was about to happen.
"Grandma!"
"Grandma!"
Ah Hei and Ah Ling rushed to the village chief to check if he was injured.
The chieftain waved his hands and said, "I'm fine. Stop arguing. If even we, the chieftains, start fighting among ourselves, then the whole mountain is doomed."
"Captain, I'm sorry, it's my fault." The third chief apologized first.
Aunt Alan sneered. This bastard was the best at pretending. However, she also apologized to the village chief: "I couldn't control my temper."
But she had wanted to say the same words that she had used to scold the third village chief just now.
