Chapter 1147 I want to leave the mountain~

Fu Chang thought about arranging a group of young men to go out to the mountains when the rice was harvested, not only to buy supplies, but also to inquire about the news outside.

The old man was very afraid that Fu Chang would leave, so he quickly asked: "Does the county gentleman want to lead the team?"

Fu Chang shook his head, "No, let Zisong lead the team out."

Fu Yong, whose courtesy name is Zisong, was the name given to him by Fu Chang not long ago. Once he picked it up, he would be an adult.

The old man felt relieved when he heard this. Fu Chang didn't want to leave them alone, so he said "The county gentleman is wise" and turned around to cut soybeans.

Fu Chang was the magistrate of Heyin County before fleeing. When the city of Heyin was destroyed, he could only lead the people to escape. As a result, they were torn apart as they fled. In addition, refugees from other places rushed in. In the end, Heyin was still with him. There are not many Yin people left.

Although there were only a few of them, they were able to prove Fu Chang's identity, so they called him Fu Chang County Lord, and everyone followed suit.

But Fu Chang always wanted to refuse.

But everyone knew that Fu Chang was the only one among them who had the ability to lead them to survive in the mountains. How could they let him go, so everyone called him the County Lord.

Although this is just a village with only thirty-nine households, he is now the village chief, but everyone still calls him "County Lord, County Lord".

Fu Yong's shoes broke halfway through. He could only hold the straw sandals in one hand while carefully avoiding the thorns on the ground and walked over, "Father, today is the eighth day of July in the fifth year of Yongjia."

Fu Chang frowned, "Our beans were planted too late, and the temperature in the mountains is lower than outside, so the bean harvest has been delayed until now."

"I can see that the rice ears are hanging low and they feel full to the touch. As long as the sun is good in the next half month, they should turn yellow." After the leaves start to turn yellow, it will take at least half a month before they can be harvested.

Based on this calculation, the harvest time of rice is indeed later than that outside.

"It's because there are too few farm tools." Fu Chang looked up and saw that many people had no sickles or stone knives, so they uprooted the soybeans with their hands, which was not only inefficient but also energy-consuming. He lowered his eyes and thought about last year's rice harvest. It was very hard, and the previous wheat harvest was also very hard. Many people pulled it by hand.

"In this case, don't wait until after the autumn harvest. Get ready when you go back tonight. Select fifteen people and you can take them out of the mountain with you." Fu Chang said: "You mainly go to buy farm tools and seeds, and then inquire about the news from the court. In a hurry, Come back before the first day of August.”

It will be just in time for the autumn harvest.

Twenty days should be enough, but...

"Father, we have no money."

Fu Chang said: "Bring some things out to barter."

But what can they give in exchange?

In addition to food, there are only some medicinal materials found in the mountains, beast furs, bones and other things.

The whole village got into action and packed basket after basket of things for them.

Fu Yong was very worried, "If we encounter refugees or rioters when we go out, we will be eaten alive while carrying so many things?"

"Are you stupid? You can't run away if you can't fight?" Fu Chang said: "Don't pity things. Protect as much as you can. Throw away all the things that can't be saved. Life is important. In short, you have to take as many people as you take out. return."

Fu Yong responded with a serious face.

Fu Chang took out more than a sling of copper coins and a jade pendant and gave them to him in front of everyone, "This is the last money for the family. Buy more pens, inks, paper and inkstones. This jade pendant is used as a pawn to buy a hoe for the family. Buy two more scythes.”

Their family only had a sickle, which Fu Chang exchanged for grain from another family when he first entered the mountains.

When the villagers saw this, they immediately took the hands of their sons and nephews who were about to leave the mountain and went home to discuss it. Those who did not have a son or nephew who wanted to leave the mountain came directly to Fu Yong, took out their family savings and said, "This is what we saved before going to the mountain." The money we paid is useless in this mountain, so please help us bring some things."

Most of them asked for farm tools, but the most requested items were needles and thread.

As for threads, they can make them themselves. Needles are the most lacking. Currently, many people in the mountains have made needles out of some animal bones and teeth, but they are all very thick and difficult to use.

They still prefer the outside needle.

Fu Yong's memory was far less good than his father's, so he could only find a piece of used paper and write down their requirements on the empty space in the corner.

Although Fu Chang was pleased to see that he was so attentive, he couldn't help but sigh, "It would be great if Da Lang was here, he could never forget what he heard."

Fu Hong on the side was not happy when he heard this, "But it's my brother who's here. My smart cousin is still paying filial piety to his biological grandfather in Yuzhou."

Fu Chang glared at him, "You can't have an in-laws even if you want to. If we stay in the mountains all our lives, you won't be able to get a wife in this life."

Fu Hong opened his mouth wide.

Fu Chang frowned and thought, "Zhao Hanzhang is quite powerful in Yuzhou. Counting the time, they have already made filial piety. I am afraid they are already married. Zisong, when we go out, we will see if we can find a merchant going to Yuzhou. Please ask them to help deliver the goods." A letter to tell Dalang our current location."

"Well, I don't know how Luoyang is, how is your Majesty, how is your grandfather?" Fu Chang didn't have much hope for Fu Zhi in his heart. He knew his father's aspirations. Seeing that the Xiongnu army was coming fiercely and Luoyang was empty, he probably couldn't save it. If something happened to the emperor, his father would probably die for the country.

There is also the eldest brother and sister-in-law, who are trapped in Chang'an, where there is a food shortage, and they also don't know whether they will live or die.

There is also the third and fourth brothers who went on a study tour. Before Heyin was breached, they had not been in contact for more than a year, and it was not known whether they were safe.

Fu Chang was full of worries and no longer in the mood to educate his son.

His words aroused Fu Hong's left nature, and people immediately buzzed around him, "I want to go out too! See if I can find you a wife."

Fu Chang waved his hand irritably: "Go, go, there are either refugees or rioters outside. Where can you find a wife?"

"Why not? No matter how chaotic it is, there will always be gentry and Wubao, right? Maybe there is a young lady who thinks I am good-looking and wants me to be a husband?" Fu Hong threatened: "Be careful if I become someone's son-in-law." go."

Fu Chang stroked his beard and said, "If you can survive outside, it would be good to be a son-in-law."

Fu Hong was stunned, "You don't mind?"

"What do I mind? Heroes don't care about their origins. In today's troubled times, as long as people can stay alive, I don't care what methods you use." Fu Chang paused at this point and added a condition, "It must not be against humanity."

Humanity, that is, the most basic principle of being a human being.

Fu Chang said: "Beasts are rampant nowadays, but if you want to be human, if you don't want to be human, kill yourself as soon as possible, and don't tell others that you are from the Fu family in the North."

When Fu Yong and Fu Hong heard this, they immediately responded seriously.

After agreeing, Fu Hong said unconvinced: "Father, do you think we are inhumane people?"

Fu Chang boasted: "Of course it doesn't look like that. I just said this. Remember it and teach future generations like it in the future."

Only then did Fu Hong become happy, "Father, have you promised me to follow my brother out of the mountains?"

Fu Chang hesitated for a moment, then nodded after seeing the excitement and expectation on his youngest son's face.

Good night
