Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 9658 Not Peaceful

Every year after the autumn harvest, the bandits in the mountains start to move around.

When it comes to these bandits, the first reaction in the big guy's mind may be a certain cottage, and then the big master and the second master.

If a woman from a good family passed by outside the cottage, she might be robbed to be Mrs. Yazhai, right?

Yes, there are gangs of bandits in the model of copycats.

However, it is hidden in the deeper mountains, and the cottages are built on some steep cliffs that are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Many of the bandits in those cottages were on the run, desperadoes with lives in their hands, or some reckless people who were not in the trend, who did not respect principles and the bottom line in their actions.

Those people earn their income by looting houses, bullying passing traders, and looting villages. In the true sense, they eat meat and drink heavily in big bowls. The kind of people with hunting and burning torches stuck on their skulls are very fierce and bloody.

But there is another type of bandit.

This kind of bandit is usually a simple and harmless villager scattered in various villages.

But during the slack season, or when there is a lack of clothing and food in winter, or on special days such as the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, they will secretly gather together with special slogans.

Cover your face with a cloth, so that the other party can't see your true face, and sometimes the other bandit accomplices together don't even know what you look like and which village you are from.

They would guard several exits in the mountain, and would specifically rob those unarmed villagers going out of the mountain to go to the market at the intersection, or the villagers or small traders who entered the mountain.

Take the Heitang Heifeng brothers and sisters in Changping Village as an example, they were robbed twice.

The two brothers and sisters were so scared that they didn't dare to go to the mountains to do business. Even though they sometimes went to a few more villages in the mountains, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea were very popular and made a lot of money, but neither brother nor sister dared to go into the mountains, especially After the autumn harvest, I dare not.

The main reason is that the mountains are not so peaceful after the autumn harvest.

In the past years, no matter how noisy the mountain was, bandits dared not step out of the deep mountain and come to the outskirts.

The reason is that Nari Song's guards are stationed outside.

Going to Changping Village at the foot of the mountain, Luo Fengtang, the Great General of the National Guard, guarded it, so those bandits only dared to make trouble in the deep mountains.

And since Luo Fengtang went to the capital, Nari Song also transferred the guards away to escort Tuo Baxian and the others northward, the garrison forces in the mountains were almost empty.

Luo Baobao's camp is filled with a bunch of young female soldiers in their teens.

So after a period of waiting and watching, those bandits became active again this year.

From the several incidents of robbery after the autumn harvest, it can be seen that the more winter, the twelfth lunar month and the new year's festival follow, the more frequent and rampant the bandits' activities will be.

Therefore, Luo Baobao came back to the village for two main purposes.

First, knowing that Ga Gong and Ga Po had all gone to the little uncle's house in Qing'an County, they were worried that their mother would be deserted at home during the Double Ninth Festival, so they came back to spend the holiday with their family.

The second reason is also because of bandits.

Luo Baobao slept with Yang Ruoqing last night, and the mother and daughter talked all night long.

She told Yang Ruoqing all about her plan to form female soldiers to fight bandits within this year.

Not only did she get the full support of Yang Ruoqing, but Yang Ruoqing also gave many suggestions on deployment.

For example, let the wizard tell the wizard to organize the forces in Nanshan Village so that they can echo with Luo Baobao and look forward to and help each other.

For another example, go find the father and son of the wolf king Zhuiyun Zhuifeng. The wolf king is the overlord of the mountains and forests, and using their power will get twice the result with half the effort.

In addition, Yang Ruoqing will also spend a sum of money to invest winter supplies, from cotton clothes, to food, medicine, to sophisticated equipment and weapons, into the camp and Nanshan Village continuously.

Fighting bandits is a protracted tug-of-war, and if you want to do it, you have to get it to the end.

So Luo Baobao was very excited, she felt that the day when she raised soldiers for thousands of days and displayed her ambitions was finally coming!
"Auntie, our baby has really grown up."

Thinking of this, Yang Ruoqing was very relieved, raised her head and said this to Wang Cuilian.

Wang Cuilian also had a gratified smile on her face, raised two fingers to gesture, and said: "I think that a little person who was born so long, cried so much that he could only see a mouth, an umbilical cord, etc. Just cut it off, sealed it with white gauze at the navel, and when changing her diaper, her calf kicked around."

"I didn't expect that 16 years would have passed in a blink of an eye. I, I am so happy to see such a big girl..."

Wang Cuilian's words also brought back many memories for Yang Ruoqing, especially looking at the growing white hair on Wang Cuilian's head, Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but secretly turned her face away and wiped away the moisture from the corners of her eyes.

Children grow up, elders grow old.

Just like the trees on the roadside, with the change of seasons, the leaves turn green and yellow, and fall with the wind...

But when the next spring begins, there will be a new green tree, which may be life.

There is a steady stream, one after another, but it is endless.

"Qing'er, our baby will be seventeen after the Chinese New Year, tell me, do you want to pay attention to this marriage?" Wang Cuilian asked again in a low voice.

For this question, Yang Ruoqing had already prepared how to answer it.

Because this is also the longest topic of discussion in the family letters she has been with Luo Fengtang for half a year.

Not only to discuss Luo Baobao's marriage, but also Chen'er and Dazhi.

In the end, the meaning of the couple is unified, that is:

"Auntie, our children, no matter boys or girls, are different from other families."

"Our children's marriage, let it take its course, we won't start making arrangements for them just because they are old."

"If there are very outstanding children of the same age around us, we can properly introduce them to get acquainted, but no matter how many, let's not interfere,"

"Marriage is something that Tang Yazi and I think is to follow fate."

"When the fate comes, they will naturally find the other half they like and start a family."

In Wang Cuilian's heart, she actually didn't agree with this.

Because of matters such as marriage, they hope that they can implement it this morning, so that they can feel at ease in their hearts.

But the child was born by Qing'er and the others, it's best not to worry too much about them, grandparents.

Furthermore, Qing'er and Tang Yazi's knowledge is different from other families, and the grandchildren in the family are also different from other families.

Chen'er is both civil and military at a young age, and the soldiers under his command are all older than himself.

Dazhi was also very promising, and was admitted to Juren.

As for Luo Baobao, it was even more different from the girls around her who could only embroider and cook.

If Wang Cuilian is really asked to help her grandchildren find a partner, to be honest, she really can't find any family with such a child who can match her grandchildren!
You can't rashly promote the children's marriage just because you are in a hurry, right?
Isn't that stupid!
