Chapter 146: The Story of the Qiu Clan
"I'm not thinking simply, I just think that you are dignified seven-foot men with hands and feet, and you shouldn't be thieves." Now that the war in the north is tight, they can also join the army to serve the country, but Xia Ye can't say this now, since ancient times, bandits have been afraid of soldiers, if they know that she has something to do with the imperial court, it will definitely do more good than harm to her.
"What else can we do if we don't become bandits." Feilang took a bite of the cake and sneered: "Do you think we are willing to rely on the sky to eat, and we will not have food in winter?" ”
Xia Ye kneaded the stickers into small pieces and ate them piecemeal: "Then why don't you go and find a job?" ”
"We are not Jiang Guoren." Feilang looked at Xia Yedao.
"What does that mean?" Xia Ye asked with a frown.
"In the early years, the Jiang Kingdom recovered a vassal tribe in the cracks, the Qiu tribe." Feilang is still a little sad when he talks about the past: "After Emperor Jiang recovered our Qiu people, he said that he would treat the people of the Qiu people the same as the people of Jiang State, but in fact, after the recovery, the people of the Qiu people did not have the capital to be officials and businessmen, and could only engage in the slave class. ”
"We, the Qiu brothers, are angry that the old man of Jiang Guo is not trustworthy, so we have no choice but to fall into the grass and curl up in this valley to eat from the sky, killing people and robbing money."
Feilang walked to the door and tore off a red pepper, sat back in his chair, and took a hard bite of the red dried pepper.
The spicy smell even smelled Xia Ye, who was sitting next to him, but he ate the whole chili pepper without frowning as if he were eating a homely meal.
There is such a thing, under such unfair treatment, no wonder they do not feel resentment, and are willing to fall into the grass rather than be slaves at the behest of others.
"I didn't expect this kind of thing?"
"Otherwise, how can you say that this little girl is not deeply involved in the world, and many things are not as simple as you think." Feilang sighed, as if he was releasing spicy air.
"Aren't you spicy?" Xia Ye asked the doubts in his heart.
"This is wild pepper, although it is very spicy, but it is a rare treasure in winter, eating it will warm up a lot, do you want to have one?" Feilang asked politely.
Xia Ye hurriedly waved his hand: "No need." ”
"I said that your charcoal stove is full of burning wood, and you can't even afford to eat, so how can you have money to buy coal?" Xia Ye looked at the charcoal stove that was smoking and said lightly.
"You can be content, except for my room, there is not even a charcoal stove in the other rooms."
"Aren't those who live in tents colder?" Xia Ye asked in surprise when he heard Feilang's words.
"They are dressed in hunted animal skins, and they are not cold." Feilang shook his head.
"And do you spend this winter like this?"
"Can't you?" Feilang looked at Xia Ye and asked, "Although we didn't eat well, we never froze to death or starved to death a brother." ”
"Even so, have you ever thought about the feelings of those who have been robbed by you?" Xia Ye should now belong to the empathetic people, who were once robbed or blackmailed.
"My stomach is almost full, so why would I think about this." Seeing that Xia Ye became more and more excited, Feilang comforted: "Although we are mountain bandits, we also have principles, we don't rob red and white things, old and young women don't rob, war food and grass don't rob, and monks don't rob." ”
It's good if the monks don't rob you, but if you rob them, Xia Ye rolled his eyes: "Then am I considered a woman?" You're not robbing yet. ”
"You don't count, because you have a guy next to you who is neither male nor female, and you both are gorgeously dressed, so you don't rob anyone."
It seems that the gorgeous clothes are also wrong, and the innkeeper is also bad because they are wearing gorgeous clothes, and they have long known that they are wearing beggar clothes when they go out.
"And what are you all grabbing?" This is not robbed, that is not robbed, Xia Ye wondered what else they were robbing.
"The chariots and horses of the rich and noble, and the sons of those who have made a fortune in business." Flying waves count, in fact, most of them also depend on the situation.
"It seems that you are really a high-quality mountain bandit, no wonder there is so poor in the village." Natsuha clapped her hands, put the stickers back on the plate, and walked over to the charcoal stove.
"If the charcoal stove burns like this, it will not only blacken the roof, but also blacken a lot of things in the house."
"Is there anything you can do about it?" Feilang also walked over: "Or can you endure the winter without a charcoal stove in the house?" ”
"I can't stand the winter without a charcoal stove, but I have a way to get the soot out." Natsuha snapped his fingers.
"What's the solution?" Feilang asked.
"Build a smoke extractor." Xia Ye looked at Feilang after speaking: "I need mud and stones, and there are two to help." ”
Feilang nodded with interest: "You two don't hurry up yet." ”
The two younger brothers at the door hurried down to get mud and stones.
Feilang looked at Xia Ye's leftover half of the sticker: "Are you full?" ”
"You don't need to be full, as long as you're not hungry." Xia Ye cleared his throat, walked outside and looked outside, and there were only a dozen people left in the village: "What about them?" ”
"Go grab the rations, if there is a harvest today, maybe you won't have to eat stickers for dinner."
"Why is there such a good place, why is it abandoned?" Xia Ye looked at an empty valley and said regretfully.
"No, in the spring, there are green trees and a lot of grass grows, and we can hunt in front of our house." Feilang said proudly that when he first chose this place, he also took a fancy to the terrain here.
"Spring and summer are good, but winter is not the same as eating stickers."
"Yes, but in the winter it is more difficult." Feilang admitted with some embarrassment.
Natsuba looked at the two people who had brought in the stones and mud, asked them to move everything to the charcoal stove, and then began to work on the mud.
"Need help?" Feilang asked with his hands behind his back.
"If you want help, go and move some rocks with them." Xia Ye replied unceremoniously.
“……”
Feilang didn't speak, turned around and went out.
Xia Ye scoffed, could it be that the big boss could not work? The other two kept moving stones and mud, and when Natsuba saw that the mud was almost enough, he asked one of them to move more stones, leaving one person to start building the chimney.
"Make a hole in this place for fruit trees, and put a chimney on top of it." Xia Ye said to the little brother.
With the protection of the big boss, the younger brother didn't dare to disobey, and obediently began to build the chimney according to what Xia Ye said.
"Do you have a lot of bluestone here?" Xia Ye asked, looking at the stones.
"Near the valley is a rocky mountain, where there are simply too many such stones." The younger brother answered Natsuba's question while building a chimney.
"Oh~" Xia Ye responded thoughtfully, and then evenly smeared the living mud on the stones, and then the younger brother slowly built up the stones.
