My whole family traveled across time with an encyclopedia

Ning Changrong was putting the frame on the black spot at this time, and when he was ready, he would go out to Taixi County to check the situation.

Originally, Ning Changrong planned to go alone, and the bullock cart was set up, so he was seen by Ning's second son.

Seeing that his elder brother was about to go out, Ning Er Er quickly stepped forward and asked, "Brother, where are you going?" Why did you suddenly use the bullock cart?
Second Ning felt fortunate that he had asked. Only after this question did he know that his elder brother wanted to go to the county alone. How could Second Ning feel relieved?No one knew what it was like outside, but they couldn't stay in the village all their lives and suggested to Ning Changrong that if they went to the county, they had to take him with them.

He thought he still had strength, and Ning Changrong knew that Ning's second son was not only strong, but also experienced in fighting.But he still refused on the grounds that a man must be left to look after the house.

The second brother Ning thought that once he left, there would be only women and children at home, so he had to give up the idea of ​​going with his elder brother, but he was still worried that Ning Changrong would go to the county alone in an ox cart.

"Brother, why don't you ask a few more people to go with you? It's fine if you don't encounter any troubles. If you encounter any troubles, there are a few people who can help you."

Ning Changrong was right when he thought about it. Although he really wanted to go to the county to buy things, the news he got back from inquiring would benefit the whole village.

Thinking of this, he stopped in his tracks, first pulled the black spot back, tied it, and said to Ning Laoer: "I'll go to the village chief first, and see if I can find some people to go with me. Take care of the family. Just do it."

Ning Changrong guessed that some people in the village might also need to buy some things, not to mention anything else, even salt.If he went out of the village in a bullock cart, someone would definitely ask him to help carry things.

He is also not used to this ancient way of life, and he didn't think of it for a while.If the time comes to bring things to these people, that person will definitely be too busy.Whether it's for safety or convenience, this person really needs to bring one or two.

When Village Chief Ning heard that he was going to the county, he attached great importance to it, and sent his eldest son Ning Husheng to go with him, and finally Ning Daniu, who he found himself.

The three of them wrote down what the villagers wanted to buy, and drove Ning Changrong's cattle towards the county.

In fact, people in the village have nothing to buy. The ancient small peasant economy was generally self-sufficient. Indeed, only those things that could not be produced by themselves needed to be purchased in the county. However, they were displaced and received officers and soldiers. How can every household have any copper coins? ?
If it weren't for not eating salt, people would have no strength, and some people in the village might not even be willing to spend this little money.So Ning Changrong and the others actually didn’t have much to bring, except that Ning Village Chang’s family might be rich and would buy some grain with copper coins, and what others needed to bring were basically necessities of life, such as coarse salt and gravel.

Ning Changrong and his family also eat this kind of coarse salt. Although it is a bit bitter, it does not contain other toxic minerals, so they get used to it after eating it for a long time.

In fact, there is a kind of grass in Xiayuan Village. The local people don’t know its name. They call this grass poisonous salt grass. It tastes like salt, but it can poison people to death.

Knowing that this grass can poison people to death, no one in the village dared to use this grass instead of salt.

Ning Qingxi and Wang Xiujuan saw it many times when they went up the mountain. After consulting the encyclopedia in their minds, they realized that this thing is called Salicornia. It does have a salty taste, but the salt extracted from it can only be used as some industrial salt. Not edible.

The three of them didn't see any refugees along the way. On the contrary, many people from other villages squatted on the ground and planed wild vegetables. It seemed that the officers and soldiers played a role.

The three of them drove the bullock cart and passed quickly while facing the eyes of the crowd on both sides of the road.

Compared with their village, these people seemed to live in a more difficult life. Ning Changrong could even see someone squatting and digging wild vegetables, and fell down after digging.Although there is a shortage of food in their village, with the help of Ning Changrong's family, they will not faint from hunger no matter what.

Ning Changrong reined in the reins and looked at the low city gate in front of him. There seemed to be blood stains on the wall that had not been cleaned, and the soil under the city wall was darker.In the distance, a dozen scattered residents who left the city could be seen, but there seemed to be only a few who entered the city, and they were the last in line.

When passing through the city gate, the soldier asked, "Where is it?"

Ning Changrong took a quick look around and found that many soldiers were unfamiliar faces, and the few people he knew before were not there.

"Master, the villain and the two brothers are both from Xiayuan Village. This time I came to the county to add these things to the village." Ning Changrong handed over the toll to the other party after finishing speaking.

The soldiers guarding the city seemed very surprised by the arrival of Ning Changrong and the others.

"Okay, you guys are quite courageous. After the opening of the city, you are the only group of country people who dare to come from such a distance to enter the city. These days, only people from the nearby villages dare to come."

Ning Changrong was keenly aware of the word "Kaicheng" that the other party said, and handed ten coins to the other party, "Master, we have been living in the village, and we don't know what happened in the county these days. What's the matter, what did you mean by opening the city just now? Also, it seems to me that several officials who were at the gate of the city before seem to be gone."

The soldiers defending the city happily accepted the copper coins in their hands. Usually, they might feel a little too little. Now that they think about it, there is nothing to do when they are idle. No one has entered the city at all, so they simply chatted with Ning Changrong for a while, "You guys It’s normal for those who live in the village to be far away from knowing, some time ago officers and soldiers went to drive away the refugees, did your village see that too?”

Ning Changrong nodded, so it's not expelling, it's obviously clearing up, regardless of age, those officers and soldiers are not lenient at all,
Ning Daniu and Ning Husheng stood quietly behind Ning Changrong, listening to the news from the guards in front.

"The rabbit is in a hurry and bites people. The captain Zhang and his men were too anxious to catch up. Those refugees were killed ruthlessly. Some of them stopped running and ran directly to our county. If it wasn't for the closed door at that time If it is timely, those of us who live in the city may suffer disaster."

"Those refugees gathered under the city wall if they couldn't rush through the city gate."

The guarding soldier pointed to the wall, and the blood on the wall said again:
"See? This is the blood left by those people. Some people are clever and want to step on others to climb up. Fortunately, there are not many of them, otherwise they might be able to do it. However, although the city gate is guarded Yes, we have also lost a lot of brothers, the ones you mentioned, I guess they are all gone."

"After the refugees were driven away, the gates of the city were opened for several days. You are the first batch to come from such a long distance."

Ning Changrong and the three of them sighed immediately after hearing this. They never expected such a fierce battle to happen in Taixi County.
