After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields Chapter 153

While the team was resting, the civilian husbands and soldiers from the other team came over to ask Liu Ji and his civilian husbands for help.

Thinking about the fact that everyone is a hard-working man doing corvee labor, and there are fellow villagers, when they meet fellow villagers, they will burst into tears, and they will basically agree.

Seeing that his companions in the same group were soft-hearted and wanted to go over, Liu Jichun quickly stopped the five people and told them to stay out of their own business.

 He ​​always had a bad premonition, and the grain truck in front of him was their life-saving talisman, and he just wanted to guard it every step of the way.

 Otherwise, once there is a problem with military rations, people will die even if they live.

 So how can you have so much time to care about others?

Because they could always drink Liu Ji's water mixed with sugar from time to time in the past few days, and he was responsible for the group's meals at night, they secretly added a lot of salt to them. Although the five of them felt a little bit resentful that he was unkind, after all, Still, she listened to him and silently retreated to her grain cart.

 Such a climatic condition makes it impossible to carry out farming at all, and the only way to make a living is to herd sheep and horses.

 Then while making dinner, Liu Ji suddenly took out a small pot and placed it on the stone stove.

Now that the Sheng Kingdom has taken back Wangyue City, the Mobei barbarians naturally do not want to lose this lush pasture, so they frequently provoke them.

It's not a good wine, but it's also a very good thing.

Liu Ji opened his mouth and shook the bamboo tube vigorously, but there was not even a drop of salt or sugar water left for him.

He didn't know where his things were hidden. When he first set out, it was so hot and unbearable. If he hadn't suddenly drank the little sweet water he had, he would have been unable to hold on long ago.

Since then, Liu Ji relied on this little sugar and salt to become an invisible team leader in his own group, so that he could hide himself from laziness for a while.

However, Liu Ji has restrained himself a lot by now, because as he walked, he got used to it!

Maybe this is the masochistic physique that Qin Yao's mother-in-law always talks about? The five people in the same group drank all the salt and sugar water in the bamboo tube, gave Liu Ji a diabolo tube, and sat next to the carriage to take a rest under the shadow cast by the carriage.

Moreover, he also heard from the old folk in his team that further north, there are snow-capped mountains. The snow in the continuous mountains does not melt all year round, and it is extremely cold. Only in summer the climate is warmer.

Especially in the days after the rain, the cold is getting heavier day by day, and my mouth feels warm at night, which is very refreshing.

　　That whipping last time was purely due to lack of cover, so he was discovered by the patrolling soldiers and whipped him.

Comparing the richness inside the pass with the desolate grassland outside the pass, if he were from Mobei, he would probably want to send his troops south to take this rich land as his own.

I have prepared two pairs of shoes with thick soles, and I have brought thick clothes and raincoats and hats, which is quite complete.

At night, Liu Ji would cook vegetable cakes for others to save trouble by eating the dry food they had made in the first few days.

Liu Ji was lucky enough to see a travel journal describing the scenery of the frontier from his roommate. The book said that before the establishment of the Sheng Kingdom, Wangyue City was occupied by Mobei barbarians for more than thirty years.

 In the past, how could a common man like him care about these major national affairs?

 The mixture of sugar water and salt water will taste strange at first, but after drinking it, you will feel much better and have more energy to go on the road.

After knowing this news and looking at the packed grain trucks in front of and behind him, Liu Ji always felt uneasy that people from Mobei would rush out to grab grain at any time.

For example, if you are really tired from walking and lean against the car, lift your feet up a little, hang on the back of the car and rub against the car, the group members will not only acquiesce, but will also cover it.

When they went out, they only knew that the officials who were serving as corvees were also in charge of food, so they did not prepare anything to eat. They only had time to grab a simple knife and a few copper plates for self-defense in case of emergency.

Now this journey is difficult, but we also see the vastness of Shengguo.

 After leaving Xuanyue Pass, the temperature dropped significantly, and those who could afford it put on the thick clothes they brought with them.

Outside Xuanyue Pass, as far as the eye can see, there are undulating hills covered with grass, with no obstruction on all sides.

There was a poor man in the family who didn't even have a pair of sturdy shoes. His straw sandals were worn out, so he could only follow the large army barefooted.

Seeing that his companions couldn't stand it anymore and hesitated to speak, Liu Ji decisively took off his own water bottle and handed it to them, "Are you thirsty? Come on, take a few sips."

Their horses are very good, and children as young as three years old can ride them well. They often sweep away the border residents for a while and then leave in a hurry, which is very abominable.

 The grassland is easier to walk than the roads in Guan Nei, and the roads are wide and flat.

He glared at the five people angrily, put away his diabolo tube, propped up his long plain knife stick, and stood swaying for a while, taking a look at the excitement of the other team.

 The outbreak of war, Liu Ji guessed, may also be because of this important city.

 While passing by a river, everyone filled their water bottles.

Others immediately looked at them in a different way, and from time to time they would say "tsk, tsk" twice, despising their inhumanity.

  To be precise, it is the secret recipe given by Liu Ji.

This is also the secret recipe that keeps their team at the forefront and avoids being beaten.

 And that city is the destination of this trip's grain transportation, and it's called Wangyue City. It is the farthest city in the north of Sheng Kingdom, guarding the entire northern border.

However, they are now two teams, with more than 200 people. It is expected that the Mobei people will not dare to be so arrogant.

The people living in Wangyue City are all military households, because the previous dynasty was chaotic and many ethnic groups lived together.

With a short manner and a soft mouth, Liu Ji, the salt and sugar water, could not refuse the five peers.

 The main theme is that as long as I can't see it, those special looks don't exist.

If the weather is not correct any year, Xuanyue Pass will suffer. These Mobei people are more ferocious than horse bandits. They come and go in a hurry, grabbing money, people and food. Wherever they go, they are like locusts crossing the border.

Salt is added to it, which gives it a flavorful taste, and is much more delicious than the clear soup that is thin and watery.

It was getting late, and the scouts sent out by Shangguan Lie came to report that there was a small lake ahead, where the two grain transport teams could camp.

Just as he was imagining it wildly, Shangguan Lie gave an order, and all the civilians immediately returned to the team and set off at full speed.

That natural enthusiasm, people who don't know think it is some kind of good wine.

If Dalang were here right now, he would be able to tell at a glance that this small pot was custom-made by Qin Yao from the blacksmith in Xiahe Village in order to take him into the mountains to practice cooking.

 The pot is not big, only about 16 centimeters in diameter. It is mainly made deep, so the capacity is very considerable.

 There is still three hundred miles to the next city.

Liu Ji was surprised. Why couldn't he detect the enemy troops in advance when they appeared?

Moreover, it is made of thin iron and is very light in weight. There are grooved buckles between the pot handle and the pot. They can be spliced ​​together when in use. When not in use, remove the pot handle and put it into the pot. There is still free space inside to put some soft and stuffable things. Objects are particularly useful.

Who is like Liu Ji, who not only brought a simple knife and copper plates, but also a lot of sugar and salt.

 The peasants worked hard to speed up. They just wanted to get to the place quickly and stop to rest early.

Moreover, it was getting so late, and the enemy troops had already arrived once before. Now it was coming early, so everyone felt relaxed.

But at this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded, from far to near, and black shadows rushed out from the horizon with the force of thunder!
