Dressed as a vicious stepmother, the whole family is full of wealth

Chapter 213, Looking for water source
"Auntie, we have been running several times. The relief food in the county government is gone. The county magistrate Shi said that the relief food is sent to more difficult villages. The few villages near the county seat have not distributed it. Report the disaster relief food to the court, but in recent years, except for the south, there have been droughts everywhere, and the court's disaster relief food is not enough!" Jiang Yun said.

Xiao Qing frowned, how did this group of people know such details?How many times did this go to the Yamen?
Seeing Xiao Qing's puzzled face, Jiang Yun said, "Ma'am, I don't know how many times I have been to the nearby villages near the gate of the county government office. These days, the villages have also found many doors in the government office to ask, and they all said that the county government office The granary is empty, ma'am, if it weren't for the fact that there is no way out, and there is no stutter at home, we wouldn't have come to you every day!"

"Mr. Jiang, Mrs. Gu, I have been to the deep mountains and came back safely, but I can't take you into the deep mountains, because I have been there and know the dangers there. Once you enter, life and death are uncertain. I can't afford you Multiple lives!" Xiao Qing refused.

That mandrill is a beast, not a human being. She can't figure out their habits. They can protect her family, but they may not protect them. If they attack them, like the brother of Guo's family was beaten to death before, she can't do anything. to guarantee.

"Auntie, if you are worried about our lives, don't worry about it. We will sign a death contract before we enter the deep mountain. When we get to the deep mountain, if we die, it will never be recorded on the auntie!" Gu Qing said loudly.

Xiao Qing pouted, everything is ready, just waiting for her to nod!

"This matter..." Xiao Qing was just about to refuse, when a group of people came to the door.

"Sister-in-law of the Qiao family, sister-in-law of the Qiao family is back! Hehe!" Qu Zhongyi walked in with a smile: "You don't know, I came to see you at noon, and your family said you were not here, so I was thinking of coming here to try my luck. I didn't expect you to come back!"

Xiao Qing tried hard to force a smile, and looked at Qu Zhongyi and the policeman behind him, as well as a few men with swords in Jianghu atmosphere. With so many people coming, do you want to force her to go to the deep mountains?
The county government can't wait to go into the mountains to find food?

"Why did Master Qu come here suddenly? Come and sit down in the yard and have a sip of tea, come and sit down and have a sip of tea!"

Qu Zhongyi waved his hands: "No need, sister-in-law of the Qiao family, don't drink this tea for now, we have something to ask sister-in-law for help today!"

Seeing so many people behind him, Xiao Qing's smile faded.

She smiled faintly, turned around and went to work: "What's the matter, Master, first sit down and talk about it!"

Qu Zhong thought that she wanted to escape: "Sister-in-law, I brought so many people here today, just wanting you to go to the deep mountains with us. Tonight, we will stay in the village first. Tomorrow morning, we will come together Go into the mountains to find water and food?"

Xiao Qing turned coldly, and turned around: "My lord, that deep mountain...is too dangerous, I can't go with you!"

Qu Zhongyi said: "You are Lizheng of Yaoshan Village, if you don't go, who will go? My lord said, anyone in Yaoshan Village is fine, but only sister-in-law of Qiao's family must go!"

Xiao Qing saw that they were making things difficult for others, so she turned angrily and went into the house.

"Don't go!"

Qu Zhongyi guessed that she would not go easily, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law of the Qiao family, we are waiting here today, if you don't go, you must go!"

Xiao Qing turned around and stared at him coldly, "Hmph!"

Then she turned and went back to the hut.

Qu Zhongyi smiled and looked towards the hut, then turned to look at the policemen and the charlatans behind him, and comforted him: "I will come to persuade you later, don't worry, she will agree!"

The next day, early in the morning, it was dark and there was darkness everywhere.

Qu Zhongyi came to Xiao Qing's house and told her to get up, fearing that she would run away again, but when she arrived at Xiao Qing's house, she was already up and cooking in the hut.

Qu Zhongyi smiled and approached the hut: "Sister-in-law, you are so tired and you still get up so early to cook for us, I am really grateful!"

Last night, after he was soft and hard, giving gold and silver, persuading them over and over again, and almost invited the adults from the state capital, she reluctantly agreed to help them find water and food.

Xiao Qing glared at him coldly, and splashed cold water on his face with words: "This is not for you, this is for those beasts on the mountain to eat!"

Qu Zhongyi's smile hangs stiffly on his face: "Sister-in-law Xiao, why... why do you want to feed the beasts on the mountain? Could it be that you want to feed them enough to give them the strength to eat us instead?"

Xiao Qing gave him a white look: "My lord, do you think that every time I go in and out of the deep mountains safely, I can get in and out by relying on my face without doing anything?"

Qu Zhongyi was stunned with a helpless expression on his face, he could only bear it helplessly, and said with a smile: "Yes, Sister Xiao's method must be a good one. It is already a great kindness for Sister Xiao to take us into the deep mountains. I told them that after entering the mountains, we will obey my sister-in-law!"

Seeing his playful smile, Xiao Qing regretted it so much, why did he soften his heart and agree to this group of people?In vain, I owe Ah Luan another favor.

Three quarters of an hour later, Xiao Qing prepared three bamboo baskets of buns and water, as well as white rice and pickles.

To enter the deep mountains, there must be a lot of food. The terrain and conditions in the mountains are too complicated. As long as she helps them find water sources and places where they can pick food, she can let her go.

Xiao Qing calculated that there was still a period of time before going to Shangjing and other states and counties.

She has to wait for the house to be built in the next few days, and Ma Xian will negotiate the price of the broken kiln with Fangjia Village, and she will not go until the cave dwelling is burned.

Taking time, I have been watching at home to become a fan these days, and I have to send it to the two restaurants in Shangjing for a trial sale, so after calculation, about ten and a half months will be enough.

She and Qu Zhongyi carried two bamboo baskets to eat and came to the entrance of the village.

Xiao Qing saw that there were still villagers from Yaoshan Village, and several strong men from other villages. Each of them had a few bamboo baskets on them. They prepared so many because they planned to stay in the mountains for a few days.

"Let's go! This deep mountain is enough for us to walk for several days!"

Qu Zhongyi looked back at the ten policemen and five knights, and he waved at them: "Go up the mountain!"

About twenty villagers followed behind them and followed Xiao Qing up the mountain.

Xiao Qing took them to the bottom of the deep mountain where she grew vegetables, she only knew this way, other ways, she needed to ask Ah Luan to take them away.

So, she took the group of people into the deep mountains and told them not to speak loudly, but she went under the big tree and started hanging food.

The group of people looked at her weird movements and were puzzled, but they didn't dare to ask more questions.

Xiao Qing yelled loudly towards the high mountain: "Ah Luan! Ah Luan, I have something to do!"

She called out several times in one breath, but no one came.

Qu Zhongyi looked at the darkness everywhere, they only dared to light a torch to illuminate some people.

He walked up to Xiao Qing and asked, "Who is Ah Luan?"

Xiao Qing said: "My friend, he has lived in the mountains for a long time!"
