Chapter 25 Poor Feng Ying...

While Yun Zhao was still immersed in his fantasy of a bright future, Feng Ying's life did not have a trace of Yun Zhao.

Even if there is, it is just a short and fat child trying hard to pretend to be an adult.

This is very funny.

When the tribe members were once again scarce about food, she did not think of the fat man, but carried a basket on her back and took her maid who was no longer round to the mountain.

Living in Kuizhou is basically not going well. Even without the harm of thieves, the barren land cannot allow more than 100 people of the tribe to obtain enough food.

When making food here, you basically rely on three points: planting a little in the field, catching a little in the water, and picking a little in the mountains... (This was summarized by the local secretary-general when I was interviewed in Fengjie).

In barren areas, even grain cannot grow well, so there will naturally not be too many gifts. Among them, the specialty leaves of the Three Gorges are the most famous. After making these leaves into tea, the biggest feature is to clear the stomach and scrape oil!

The greedy maid Xiaochu spit out the leaves stuffed into her mouth. She didn't want to collect such wild tree leaves that could be used as tea. After soaking in water, she would only be even hungry.

"Miss, what are we doing for picking these leaves? We can't sell them."

For Xiao Chu, anything that cannot be eaten or drunk is useless waste.

Feng Ying straightened up and carefully picked off the hanging clothes from the thorns, looking at the surging Yangtze River waterway under his feet: "Don't worry, someone will buy it."

"Old ancestors had just beaten Zhang Bingzhong away and consumed all the food in the village, and had no money and could not receive our goods.

Miss, let’s go to Guanzhong and sell all these goods to that fat man. He is so fat that he will definitely like these teas."

Feng Ying smiled and said, "I'm talking about him!"

Xiao Chu immediately got up happily when he heard this, hugged Feng Ying's waist and pressed his face against the lady's back. At this moment, she felt that the lady was the most wisest person in the world.

"But, we have no travel expenses!"

"Go to Feilang to get it, I heard they have done a few big deals recently."

"Okay, okay, Miss, you can't be soft-hearted this time. They are thieves, and our robbery is also a way for heaven.

Besides, it’s good that we allow them to stay in this valley.”

Feng Ying looked at Xiao Chu and nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, I won't be soft-hearted this time."

With the goal, the two quickly picked the tea tree that had new buds in winter, and then went to Feilang Village under the cliff.

Feilang Village is actually the home of a bunch of water thieves. These people used to be coolies who pulled fibers on the Three Gorges. They disliked the slowness of making money from pull fibers, so they turned into water thieves.

Relying on your strong water skills, he specially robs the single ships.

The two peasant daughters dressed up close to the village, and the gate of the village was closed. When Feng Ying and Xiao Chu approached the gate of the village, a small crack was opened. A thin man with an old thick white cloth wrapped around his head squeezed out from the crack of the door and bowed to Feng Ying, "Why are you free to come to my village?"

Feng Ying smiled and said with a polite greeting: "The little woman is going to take a trip to Guanzhong to deliver a batch of goods to my brother Shi. The goods are ready but there is no money left. Thinking that Feilang Village has a lot of money recently, I come to pick up some."

When the thin man heard this, his face that he had already been sucking turned into a dried orange.

Just when I was about to say that the village was already in short supply of food and grass, I saw Xiao Chu excitedly looking down from the bamboo pole to pick up the bacon they were drying outside. I didn't care about talking to Feng Ying and ran over to stop him.

After only two steps, he saw Xiao Chu holding a thick pistol in his hand facing him. He had to stop and watch Xiao Chu put all the bacon into his backpack, looking extremely desperate.

"Where is the rice?"

After pretending to be bacon and salted fish, Xiao Chu came to the man without finding the rice, and kicked the man hard at the bend of his leg, causing him to kneel down and ask viciously.

"Where did the rice come from these days!"

"Where are you stealing our sweet potatoes?"

"God, since you came, you are the only one who takes our things. When have we taken your things?"

Seeing that the lady was looking at the batik cloth drying on the bamboo pole, Xiao Chu walked over and folded it and put it in the backpack. Then he kicked the man again and said, "This time it's the lady. If you don't give face to you, let Uncle Peng and the others come after we go back and try the people here again!"

Thinking of the one-armed Peng Shou's appearance, the thin man couldn't help but tremble.

It was this one-armed man who had swept all the villages on the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River with more than 20 white-rod troops. He destroyed no less than twenty villages, and he was responsible for killing people.

Anyone with discerning eyes knows that this is the military fund that Qin Liangyu is raising troops. Such a thing will happen every few years. The big and small bandits in Sichuan understand that, so as long as the Baigang Army team is dispatched, many of the parishes will close down or flee at night.

But I didn't expect that two years ago, they would find the heroes of Kuizhou and leave a group of people to defend the Three Gorges.

Shizhu Ma family is an official. Although Kuizhou is not under the jurisdiction of Shizhu Tusi, local officials have always turned a blind eye to Shizhu Tusi's behavior of crossing the border to strangle bandits.

When Zhang Bingzhong entered Sichuan, Feilang Village was very helpful. Now Zhang Bingzhong has gone to Hubei again, but the thieves in Feilang Village have no courage to follow him, so they can only be extorted by Feng Ying and his gang.

The little girl was right. It was okay for the eldest lady Feng Ying to come. She usually didn't go too far. If it were Peng Shou's murderous devil, it would be difficult for Feilang Village to live. The thin water thief Han Jin gritted his teeth and took out a silver ingot from his arms and presented it with both hands.

"Only three taels of silver?"

Xiao Chu immediately became furious when he got the money.

Feng Ying stopped the angry Xiao Chu and said to Han Jin: "I think the batik produced in your village is good. Can it form a batch of goods? I will take it to Guanzhong for transactions. If the price is good, you won't have to make a living on the water in the future. We can live a life by making batik together."

Han Jin smiled and said, "Miss, these are all the work done by the wife in the village when she is free. Can she really catch the eyes of the lady?"

Feng Ying sighed and said, "We don't have such skills in Kuizhou. You can rob people from Yunnan from the boat, and you don't have to worry about retribution."

Han Jin hurriedly said, "Miss, you are wronged. There are no women on the boat passing by the Gorge. Many merchants who find it troublesome will throw the women they bought at the ferry or sell them at a low price. This is how the women in our village come from.

You can say that most of them are from Yunnan, and I don’t know what’s going on.”

Feng Ying sighed and said, "It was not the evil that was committed during the rebellion of She Chongming. All the men died, and these women could not make a living, so they had to leave their hometowns. This is certain that people leave their hometowns and are inferior.

Han Jin, go and tell other counterfeits. If they can trust me, organize a batch of goods and give them to me. I will take them to Guanzhong for transactions. I will prepare some grey cloth for you when I return home. Well, this business can continue.

After the Zhang Bingzhong thieves' rebellion in Kuizhou, we have no longer had a good life."

Han Jin said: "The young lady's words are naturally trustworthy. To be honest, the young lady said that this water business is becoming more and more difficult. I can't see a ship in ten days and a half moon. Sometimes when the ship comes, it is difficult to start in groups.

If those women who eat rice can make wax cloth, they will have more food in the village, so prepare for the younger ones.”

"By the way, tell those bastards that the lady can't help for nothing, and she has to make up all the money for the lady."

Xiao Chu was beating and drumming, and Han Jin agreed repeatedly, not daring to disobey.

When he returned home, Xiao Chu returned home with a full load. Not only did he have meat, fish, but he also had a small bag of white rice, which were all given by Han Jin.

She wanted to go home and start cooking in one step.

"Miss, that fat man is very rich now!"

Xiao Chu was obsessed with Yun's meat.

"Don't call him fat and fat. Brother Yun Shi is a capable person. Uncle Peng said that Yun has already begun to be king in Guanzhong.

In the past, I didn't like these, thinking that I could live by taking my tribesmen to find an open space in the mountains and farming and weaving cloth. I also specially chose Kuizhou where the emperor was far away.

At that time, Brother Yun Shi said that Kuizhou was not a good choice. At that time, he thought he wanted to annex us. Now it seems that Brother Yun Shi's words are right. Kuizhou is the gateway to Shuzhong. As long as there are heroes coveting Shuzhong, our Kuizhou will not be stable.

In two years, our village moved three times in a row, which proves that we lost once every time we moved. Now we are almost at the end of our lives.

This time I went to Guanzhong, it was my last effort to see if this place is still saved!"

"Why is it helpless? Miss is so smart. We can still grow corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes, where can't we survive?"

Xiao Chu was very dissatisfied with the lady's self-deprecating words.

Feng Ying pinched Xiao Chu's face and said, "If it doesn't work, I will marry you to Yun and eat it."

Xiao Chu laughed and said, "If the lady married that fat man, wouldn't we all have meat to eat?"

Xiao Chu said it with sarcastic expression, Feng Ying did not look shy and said softly: "If I don't marry the Ma family, I will have to marry the Yun family. There are only two ways and there is no other choice.

Xiao Chu, it seems that you are more optimistic about Yun, right?”

Xiao Chu hesitated for a moment and finally whispered: "Yun's strips are delicious!"

Feng Ying smiled bitterly, looked up at the gray sky above the Three Gorges and whispered: "Poor Feng Ying..."

Xiao Chu shook his head and said, "It's nothing wrong with marrying a man, marrying a man, dressing and eating."

Feng Ying said: "You don't understand. I want to live happier, and I don't want to sell myself to anyone just for the sake of eating."

Xiao Chu said: "It was all of us who dragged the lady down."

Feng Ying did not reply, but he took off the longbow on his back as fast as lightning, and shot an arrow in one go. With a sound of the bow, a rock rabbit rolled down from the cliff.
