Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 144 Palpitations
Xu Erniang and Xu Dalang also came over, expressing with great interest that they would join together.

Xu Da imagined the scene of two daughters clawing at the hind legs of a pig and twitching the corner of his mouth.

He wanted to say that he disagreed, but looking at the children's bright eyes, he couldn't bear it.

Forget it, never mind, go home and eat!
"Oh~" Xu Da sighed, and muttered in a low voice, "I can't eat this pork today."

Xu Yue saw Father's disappointment in her eyes and thought it was funny.

Back in the courtyard, under Xu Da's surprised gaze, he took out a pork rib from the cupboard, rolled up his sleeves, and cooked himself a decent dinner for his family to improve the food.

Seeing the happy appearance of her father gnawing on the ribs, Xu Yue couldn't help laughing. Of course her father should be pampered.

Wang's "cough cough!" Coughed twice, Xu Yue immediately picked up chopsticks and put the pork ribs into A Niang's bowl.

Mrs. Wang was delighted, and raised her eyebrows at Xu Dayi triumphantly. My piece is bigger than yours, and my daughter pinched it herself. Are you envious?
Such childish behavior is rarely seen on Wang's body. Xu Da felt that there might be something wrong with his eyes, but he actually felt that this woman was a bit dainty.

Xu Yue and her sister looked at each other, and couldn't help but secretly smile.

Xu Dalang "huluhulu" quickly poured a bowl of rice into his mouth, and continued to fill another bowl, silently amidst the delicious food, he didn't care about the delicate atmosphere on the dining table at all, he was really a rice cook.

After eating and drinking enough, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Early the next morning, after completing the basic morning exercises, Xu Yue took a pig knife and led her brothers and sisters to go out in high spirits.

Since no one had ever said that pigs should be slaughtered before, Xu Yue took her brothers and sisters to go door-to-door for the sake of the little food.

For the sake of Xu Da and Wang's, the tenants were somewhat polite. Seeing that the pig that had been raped by Xu's family was still alive and well today, they asked the three brothers and sisters to try it.

However, overall, there are very few people who believe in it, and most of them just look at the face of the adults at home.

What's more, they thought that the three brothers and sister Xu Yue were just looking for entertainment when they were bored, and they donated the pigs in the family with a bit of flattery.

Xu Yue looked at these people's dubious and flattering expressions, and sighed out today's No.20 five breaths.

But it doesn't matter if you don't believe her now, when winter comes, with a comparison, everyone will know whether she is looking for entertainment.

After working all morning, eight pigs were slaughtered. Seeing the resistance of the remaining pig farmers, Xu Yue had to temporarily give up this part-time job.

More than 30 catties of grain were packed in a sack, and Xu Dalang could carry it with one hand and shake it while walking. The harvest was really unsatisfactory.

But looking at the large expanse of excellent-growing millet in Zhuangzi, the three brothers and sisters are still in a good mood.

However, with the scorching sun above her head and no wind, the water vapor in the river could not be brought up. Xu Yue always felt stuffy in her heart, as if being pressed down by a small stone, and she was a little out of breath.

Looking up at the sky, there was no cloud in the sky, and there was a round of golden sun hanging in the blue sky. Xu Yue wiped the sweat from her forehead, wondering if she had a heatstroke, why was her heart beating faster and faster?
A sense of unease welled up in her heart for no reason, Xu Yue stopped involuntarily, and subconsciously turned her head to look at the gate of Wubao.

I was at a loss, and the tips of my ears moved slightly, as if I heard something.

"Someone came on horseback." Xu Dalang said suddenly.

Usually no one came to Wubao, only Gongsun Yuan and other members of the Gongsun clan came here in the past few days. Because of the plague, no one from the surrounding families that had contacts with Gongsun Yan came to the funeral.

Animals like horses in this era are equivalent to modern people's BMWs. They are high-end assets that most people don't have and can't use.

Xu Yue felt the familiar palpitations again, and her heart skipped a beat when she heard her brother's words.

Quickly asked: "One horse or many horses?"

Xu Dalang replied: "A horse is a familiar breath."

Just as they were talking, Xu Yue and Xu Erniang also heard the sound of galloping horseshoes. The three brothers and sisters looked over and waited for a full 2 ​​minutes before seeing a familiar figure riding a fast horse, hurrying to the place. Wubao came.

It's my cousin Gongsun An.

How could he come back alone?Today is not the time to take a rest.

Just as he was feeling strange, he heard Gongsun An shouting as he rushed into Wubao:
"Second Uncle, it's not good! The Jizhou Army suddenly launched an attack. They took down two border towns overnight yesterday and are heading towards Yuyang. Yuyang is in danger! Close Wubao quickly, Second Uncle!"

Shouting, the man had already rushed into Ubud, instead of going straight to the second-bedroom house, but stopped in front of the gate, eagerly urging the guards to close the gate.

It seems that the menacing Jizhou army is about to rush in.

Seeing that it was the young master of the third room, the guards were startled and frightened when they heard the news from him. Under Gongsun An's urging, they hurriedly closed the gate.

Seeing all this from a distance, Xu Yue's heart skipped a beat. Before the plague hit, Youzhou was plagued by the plague, and had no time to take care of Sun Miao who was guarding Bohai Sea County.

I didn't expect them to do it so soon, taking advantage of your illness to kill you.

What a quick raid to take down two cities overnight!
Maybe as early as when the epidemic broke out in Yuyang, the Jizhou Army had already quietly advanced to Youzhou.

Seeing the two heavy doors being closed, Xu Yue suddenly remembered that the tenants who had picked tofu for sale this morning and hadn't come back frowned.

The gate of Wubao will not be closed easily. This is a city gate with military defense function. Once closed, it will not be opened again.

However, Gongsun An did not have the right to open and close the gate. The guards just closed the gate without fastening the heavy rectangular bolt.

Seeing Gongsun An galloping towards the second room on horseback again, Xu Yue, brother and sister also ran home immediately.

In the tofu workshop, He Zeng, Lao Wutou and others were grinding beans with a few slaves. Xiao Junmei was standing on the stall in front of the gate with a piece of bamboo tofu, looking at her stall.

The surrounding tenants were also busy in the fields in twos and threes, and no one knew that the Jizhou Army was about to rush to Yuyang County.

Just when Xu Yue stepped into the yard, a dull bell rang out in Wubao, a warning bell, which successfully changed the expressions of the elderly tenants.

"Auntie!" Before Xu Yue ran to the tool room, Mrs. Wang had already opened the door and walked out.

"What happened?" She looked at the direction where the bell was ringing and asked doubtfully.

Xu Yue told the news she had just heard from Gongsun Anna, but Wang's face was not the least bit surprised.

Instead, the corners of his mouth curled up and he smiled, "This Sun Miao is fast enough."

Xu Yue looked at the panicked tenants outside the yard, and said with a bitter face, "Mother, why are you still laughing when there is going to be a war?"
