Chapter 310 Tomorrow and Prosperity

Bai Mingwei was silent for a long time, then lowered his eyelids again: "For you, this is nothing. After all, it is insignificant than what you did for me."

"Even my closest friend, there is no reason to just give one person. I want to do my best to do something for you who have always helped me."

A few rooster crows broke Bai Mingwei's contemplation.

She got up and put on her shoes, wrapped herself tightly in her cloak, pulled open the door and walked out.

Feng Qingchen in the yard just came back from the kitchen. When he saw her standing in the cold wind, he couldn't help but feel anxious: "The burn has just subsided, what are you doing?"

Bai Ming raised his head slightly and looked at the east sky.

The first ray of morning light shone away the clouds and mist, refracting golden light.

In the village where chickens and dogs smell each other, smoke from the chimneys of farmers' houses rose.

The mist of the mountains lingered in the forest, and was shining with a shimmering light.

As the sun rose higher and higher, the whole village became lively, with roosters crowing, pigs crowing horses crowing, and cattle and sheep bleating.

So secular, yet so beautiful.

Isn’t that the prosperous era she is looking forward to?

At this time, the door of the Wu family was knocked open again, and some villagers brought things again.

In addition to food, someone also sent an old hen with a litter of small chickens and said that it was because of the incident the day before yesterday that many chickens and ducks from Aunt Wu's family died. Although the running pigs were caught, the dead poultry could not be resurrected, so he sent a litter of chickens for Aunt Wu to raise.

They knew that Bai Mingwei was recuperating from the wound, so they didn't come to disturb him, and just asked Aunt Wu to send him greetings.

Bai Mingwei was moved by the kindness and simplicity of the villagers, and was even more curious about the daily life of the villagers.

But she had been staying in the Wu family and could not see the whole picture of the hiding village, so she couldn't help but go out for a walk.

Just as Feng Qingchen walked out of the kitchen, Bai Ming asked, "The air is fresh in the morning, how about accompanying me?"

Feng Qingchen immediately went to the house to get the cloak, put on another layer of it, and then said, "You can do whatever you want."

When Aunt Wu saw that she was injured, she wanted to stop her, but she couldn't persuade her anymore, so she had to tell them to come back for dinner earlier.

The two went out together.

Bai Mingwei had no special purpose, but just walked along the country road that could see the whole village.

As a villager with a special background, everyone soon came out of the attack the day before yesterday and started another day of busyness.

It was inconvenient to go to the ground during the snowy days, so they took this time to repair the house and do everything they didn’t have time to do during the busy farming season.

If I really didn't do it, I would chop the wood into smaller pieces. In short, no one could spare.

Everyone saw Bai Mingwei and Feng Qingchen greetings with a smile, but everyone was tactful and did not disturb him when they saw the "little couple" walking on the road.

Bai Mingwei said: "I heard that they were carrying hoes to help us that day. If the guards hadn't stopped us, they would have been killed in long ago."

Feng Qingchen said: "Although this place is far away from war, many villagers have experienced war. It is not surprising that they bravely deal with danger when they encounter danger. However, it is extremely rare for them to protect our hearts."

Bai Mingwei didn't say anything, but agreed with Feng Qingchen's statement very much.

After walking for a while, Bai Mingwei asked curiously: "Why do you always hear the sound of bells?"

After all, she was born in Zhongming Ding Food House. She didn't know many things about the farming family. She only saw the sufferings of the people in her grandfather's official documents.

Then we will experience it in the border areas for personal experience.

Feng Qingchen explained softly: "Silly girl, that's the sound of cowbells. There is no grass on the mountains in winter, so they locked the cows in the ring and fed them with the straw left in the autumn harvest."

"Not only many families in this village have plowing oxen, but basically every household has a horse that works as a coolie. It can be seen that this is a rich village."

"Cow?"

Bai Mingwei knew what plowing ox means. In some villages, dozens of households share a thin ox. Even if the cow is exhausted, it cannot plow the land that dozens of households can eat.

Plowing ox is a very important labor force. The amount of plowing ox means how much land the people can reclaim. If almost every household has a cattle, then as Feng Qingchen said, these people live a prosperous life.

Feng Qingchen stopped and listened carefully: "Not only that, every household has big fat pigs screaming, chickens, ducks and geese running all over the ground, and some families have sheep, even in the big pond near the village, there are many fish."

In this chaotic world where the body and food are not covered, everything Feng Qingchen said is indeed rich.

Other people suffer from disasters and wars, and struggle to survive every day. How many people join the army at a young age in order to have a bite of food? Many people are also reluctant to leave their armor and return to their fields when their hair is gray.

The people in this village not only have cattle, horses, but also chickens, ducks, fish and sheep. They even have taro in the fields after the autumn harvest and tax payment, which shows that they are really rich.

Just as he was thinking, a peasant woman was digging something in the field.

The hoe dug down at the withered taro stems and leaves, and flipped hard, and the taro was turned out along with the mud.

The peasant woman plucked it with her hands, and the round taros were exposed on the surface.

Just one taro plant can get half a basket.

Bai Mingwei was very curious and went up to ask, "Sister-in-law, why does this taro make so well?"

The peasant woman looked at Bai Mingwei, who was not scared by her noble demeanor at all, and responded with a smile: "Mrs. My little lady doesn't know that our village is remote and there is no war. Except for those who collect taxes, few outsiders set foot on it."

"Cows and horses are not charged to fight, pigs and sheep do not need to be slaughtered and paid taxes. Their feces can be used as fertilizer, so our fields are very harvested. Look at this cabbage, one is enough for the whole family to eat two meals! There are also big radish, and one is enough to cook a large pot of soup."

Bai Ming was slightly silent.

Years of war have led to an increase in taxes. Even if the people raise livestock and poultry, they are all taken to tax deductions when they are not growing.

Where can I use any fertilizer to fertilize crops?

What's worse, they had no time to wait until the crops in the fields matured and the livestock at home grew up, and they had to leave their hometown because of the war.

So in many places, there are actually no sees crops or livestock that can be grown.

Nine out of ten rooms is empty, which is most appropriate to describe most villages in the Dongling people.

Seeing Bai Ming's silence, the woman did not disturb her, but instead put a large taro in a cloth bag and handed it to Feng Qingchen:

"Mrs. Wu and the others didn't dig much that day. You have a large population, so I'm afraid you won't have enough food. Take this bag of young masters and there are still some in the field after eating. Don't be polite to your sister-in-law."

As she said that, she patted her head again: "Look at me, you shouldn't have let the young master take it by himself. I'll take it to Sister Wu's house later. You two will take a walk slowly."

Feng Qingchen smiled: "Thank you sister-in-law."

After thanking him, he grabbed Bai Mingwei's hand with great difficulty and held her and continued to walk forward.

The woman covered her mouth and smiled: "As sure, as Sister Wu said, the couple has a good relationship!"
