Exiled to Lingnan, my plants are miraculous

Chapter 43 The First Conquest

The Wang family, which was already enjoying a bright future, was brought back to reality. They are no longer wealthy and aristocratic people with many resources, and there is no money and resources for them to use.

Now they are destitute, have nothing, and have to start all over again.

Because of Feng Shiyun's truth, everyone's mood was a little low, but when they thought that they had the opportunity to realize this vision, everyone's mood became high again.

It had been raining for nearly half a month, and moss was almost growing on the treehouse. Then bad news came.

The government issued a conscription order, and all adult prisoners were required to serve on the West River Embankment. Baixiang Village felt an inexplicable sense of relaxation when they received this conscription order.

It’s here, it’s finally here, it’s been hanging in my mind for three whole months, but it’s still here.

There are only about a hundred children left in Baixiang Village, as well as an uncontrollable Li Feifei and Feng Niu, the stupid son of the Feng family.

"My God, I never knew there were so many prisoners in Lingnan!"

Jian Xiaocheng looked at the dark crowd. Most of them were wearing short clothes. Most of the clothes were patched and looked very shabby. Everyone's face was filled with numbness and deep fear.

fear?

Why is there such a feeling of fear? Could it be that the place we go to this time is dangerous?
  Although the people in Baixiang Village have already inquired about Feng Shiyun before, isn't it just a little harder? Why do you have such a look?
  Could it be that the person named Feng is hiding something?
  Or does he want to annex the fruits of Baixiang Village's labor and prepare to trap everyone to death?

The people of Baixiang Village are like lambs caught in a pack of wolves. They are panic-stricken and can't help but think wildly.

Because of the rain, the originally wet road became muddy after being trampled by everyone. Due to the urging of the officials, the people behind couldn't help but slip on their feet. One person fell down, and they all splayed like a bony Nomi card. fell to the ground.

"Don't you want to build a dam? It's really interesting. Do you think you can stop building it if you fall?
  Today, even if I break my leg, I still have to crawl out, and even if I die, I have to throw it into the river. A group of exiled untouchables can't understand their status, and they want to use my words. "

"Get up quickly, it's delaying the construction schedule. I want you to look good."

"Snapped."

The barbed whip struck everyone mercilessly, and for a moment the wailing sound covered up the patter of rain.

"It's really unlucky. Why are we so unlucky that it's our turn to escort you untouchables, and now we have to accompany you in the rain?"

"Why don't you get up quickly? Why don't you wait for me to help you?"

Screams, screams, and complaints echoed throughout the sky.

The people in Baixiang Village were quite nimble in their movements. When they heard the sound of whips, they helped each other to stand up reflexively.

Therefore, although everyone was covered in mud, none of them had a whip on them. Lin Yue, who was hiding behind the crowd, also breathed a sigh of relief.

I just didn't expect that the local officialdom in Lingnan would be much harsher. I was afraid that the life of serving in the future would not be easy, but there were so many people around that I couldn't get too close.

After almost eight hours of walking, stopping, falling and beating, the road was muddy and screaming, the officials finally announced that they had arrived.

What kind of place is this?
  The river was more than five meters wide and was filled with turbulent water. The water was also mixed with various branches and clothing, and even the grass on the bank was almost submerged.

It looked very dangerous, and if they were allowed to work in such an environment, it would be more dangerous than good. The people in Baixiang Village had a slight sense of foreboding.

"You have also seen that the river is about to spread out. Your task is also very simple. From here ten miles up and ten miles down, we must build a dam to prevent the river water from rushing out. As for how to cast it and how many meters to cast it, these It's all your business, I just want to see the results.    The government office will provide a meal at noon every day, and you can make your own arrangements for the rest of the time, but you must be here from 1 am to 1 pm every day. The village chief of each village will take stock of your village. The number of people, if there is one less person, you won’t want to know the result.”

The leading official was the man who he had met with Yang Dajun when he first came to Lingnan, but his current expression was fierce and full of evil, which was completely different from his previous gentle image.

"Sir, do you have any tools?"

An old man emerged from the crowd timidly. He was obviously the head of the village.

"Old man Zhu, is this your first time serving? Are you asking if you have any tools? The whole of Lingnan is so big, it's really a shame to have a tool wheel to get you."

The leading officer glanced at the frightened old man and spoke in a mocking tone.

"No, I don't want to be here, I will die, I will die."

A middle-aged woman with a stooped back in the originally quiet team was chattering and in a daze as she rushed to and fro. She was so anxious that she bumped into a few people blocking the road.

"Catch her, don't let her get away."

However, the woman seemed to have lost her mind and ran forward regardless of the force entangled in her body. She didn't even care when the officer started to draw his knife.

"what!"

There was a scream, and the people who were close were sprayed with blood on their faces. The people who were still running were now lying on the ground without making a sound.

The sudden turn of events silenced the originally chaotic team. It was obvious that everyone was frightened by this tendency to kill people if they disagreed.

"You are exiled prisoners from the imperial court, but you really think you are still the official who cheers you from front to back! I don't care who you are when you are all here?

When I arrived at my territory, I was surrounded by a dragon, but I had a typo and a tiger was lying on my back. If you really have great hands and eyes, then climb up and show off for me. This is the fate of disobedience. "

Everyone looked at the corpse on the ground in silence, their eyes empty and numb. The people of Baixiang Village were at their lowest point. These three months had almost made them forget that they were still in hell and their lives were in the hands of others.

"Feng, why didn't you tell me? These officials are so arrogant, killing people is like slaughtering animals, and there is no explanation at all!"

As the village chief who was pushed out, Lin Hongyuan was very angry that he did not get this information in advance. What's more, he boasted that there was nothing in Lingnan that he didn't know about. What is the situation now?
  Feng Shiyun also had an embarrassed look on his face. He did not expect that this group of prisoners in Baixiang Village were so unlucky. They encountered the highest death rate in the construction of river embankments from the beginning.

He has been drafted twenty times in the past few years, but has never done this kind of work. Most of the time, he went to mine in the mines. He also felt that he was unlucky because of the people in Baixiang Village.

"Oh, they don't usually do this. Maybe it's raining and the officials are in a bad mood. Besides, I haven't been to the river to build embankments before.

Brother Lin, we should not stand out among the crowd. We should do whatever others do, so that we will not be noticed by the officials. "

But Lin Hongyuan didn't do anything in the past three months. He took advantage of the purchase of supplies to find out clearly about the situation in Lingnan in recent years. This river was originally built by the exiles before. In the past, Lingnan was often flooded by floods.

The situation of several rivers built in recent years has gradually improved, but the area where the county seat was built is in a low-lying area. As long as it rains more, the river water will spread to the county seat.

As soon as the sun comes out, although it dries very quickly, the odor left behind is long-lasting.
