The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

In Qinglong Village, Tu Gang limped to the dam on the top of the mountain and lay on a pile of haystacks. He looked at Zuo Qing who was practicing there and secretly thought about how to fool Zuo Qing so that Zuo Qing would agree to him. Take people down the mountain to take revenge.

After racking my brains for a long time, I suddenly thought: The village will go down to collect grain in about ten days. You can bring the brothers who collect grain with you! right! Just do it!

After Tu Gang thought about it, he went back to get a basin of warm water. He brought it to the dam where Zuo Qing practiced, wetted the handkerchief and handed it to Zuo Qing. He said flatteringly: "Brother, the grain will be harvested in a few days. I The old horse is still at Xiao Taohong's house! I want to go down the mountain with Uncle Cai and the others and exchange the old horse for it, do you think that's okay?"

Zuo Qing took the handkerchief, looked at Tu Gang's flattering look, hit him on the head, and said with a smile: "Boy, did you fall in love with another young lady in the city?"

Tu Gang was slapped by Zuo Qing and staggered. After he stood up, he gave a thumbs up and smiled: "Brother's kung fu has improved again. When he led us to eat the Hutou Village, our Qinglong Village is The first stronghold.”

Zuo Qing listened to Tu Gang's flattery and smiled proudly, "You boy, don't think that I don't know your thoughts. For the sake of your pleasure, you will go with Uncle Cai when the grain is harvested." Go down the mountain.”

"Thank you, brother." Tu Gang bent down and took the cloth towel handed to him by Zuo Qing. After washing it, he served Zuo Qing diligently.

Zhou Jia and Tu Dianshi went to Shijia Village on the edge of the city. Most of the people in the village were named Shi. Zhou Jia saw that almost every house in the village had thatched houses. Only the village chief's house was slightly better, with half of the house covered with roofs. It's a tile, but it has some age.

The village chief's wife wiped the bench again and again before carrying it to the yard. She placed it there gingerly, bowed and saluted, "Sir, please sit down. We in the countryside don't even have a good stool."

Zhou Jia sat down with a smile and said politely, "It's okay, ma'am. When I was escaping from famine a few years ago, I was sitting on the ground and sleeping in a cave! Everyone is sitting down!"

After the village chief and clan elders sat down solemnly, they complained with a grimace: "Sir, although this year's harvest is a little better, only 40% of it actually falls into our hands. After a year of hard work, every household has not enough to eat, and the children We are so hungry that there is only one layer of skin left." The village chief wiped away his old tears, "Sir! Everyone in Qingchuan City who has some wealth and connections has moved to other places to make a living. We have no ability, and it is difficult to leave our hometown. Only then did she stay. During the drought, there were only twenty households in our village who fled the famine and returned, and the total number of households was only thirty-odd. There were not enough people to work. The girls were more beautiful, but they did not dare to take them out. The bandits Don’t leave us a way to survive!”

Zhou Jia looked at the village chief and clan elders. They all looked miserable and skinny. He felt sour in his heart. He stood up and bowed to the village chief and the surrounding villagers: "Fellow folks, everyone believes that Zhou If so, just delay for a while and deliver the food to the bandits later, and Zhou will find a way to relieve everyone's worries and let everyone live a peaceful life."

When the village chief and clan elders saw Zhou Jia bowing to them, they also bowed quickly. The Shi family elder said to Zhou Jia tremblingly: "Sir, we can delay it for half a month at most. We don't dare to do more!"

After hearing this, Zhou Jia thought: Xu Chun should have come back with reinforcements in half a month. Even if it is too late, Yu'er, Ruyi, Xu Dong, plus his own three-legged cat kung fu, should still be able to protect a village's food supply.

After Zhou Jia thought about it, he whispered to the clan leader: "If you believe me, boss, I will send someone to Tu Dian Shijia to inform me on the day when the food is delivered, and I will bring people to protect everyone's food."

The clan elder's eyes lit up after hearing this, he looked at Zhou Jiada intently and said, "Sir, can you really protect him?"

Zhou Jia said in a positive tone: "Gather the people in the village together and don't spread out. It shouldn't be a problem to protect your village."

The clan elder stood up straight with his cane in his hand, "Okay, my lord, I can tell at first glance that I am different from the previous officials. This old man trusted me just once and told someone to tell me about it on the first day I handed over the food."

Zhou Jia supported the clan elder and said firmly, "Okay, let's work together to defend against the enemy."

The clan elder and village chief bowed and thanked: "Okay, I would like to thank you all, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Jia stood up, cupped his hands and said, "It is my duty to protect you, Mr. Shi Clan, Mr. Shi Village. It is already getting late, so we will leave."

Xu Dong and Tu Dianshi also stood up and said goodbye. Village chief Shi and the clan elders sent Zhou Jia and others outside the village. They watched the carriage go away before returning to the village.

Village Chief Shi said to the elder of the clan: "Master, do we really want to tell Mr. Zhou the news?"

The clan elder wielded his cane and looked at the unharvested rice in the rice field. "I think Master Zhou is not the same as the previous dog officials. If we are blackmailed by the evil wolf on the mountain, we will only die. Let’s make a bet once and let the children have enough to eat.”

Village Chief Shi touched his flat belly and recalled how he had eaten and drank enough in the past. "Yes! Let the children also have a taste of what it's like to sit there with a full belly and not want to move."

When Zhou Jia returned home, he saw Li Yu and his men walking along the courtyard wall and filling it with sharpened bamboos. Knowing that Li Yu was starting to guard against bandits, he also got busy together.

Steward Ouyang woke up from hunger and found that he was still in the boundless darkness. He seemed to hear a faint voice coming from somewhere, and hurriedly shouted hoarsely, "Is there anyone there? Please say something! What on earth do you want to do?" ? Just say something!" Everyone was busy installing traps, and no one paid any attention to Manager Ouyang's shouts.

Li Yu and Zhou Jia led Ruyi towards the cellar. Zhou Jia said to Li Yu, "Yu'er, Ruyi said that the bandit named Tu Gang lied to you and didn't tell you the exact route?"

"Yes, I didn't expect that I couldn't scare that guy. It seems that I still have to give them a little pain before they can tell the truth."

When several people arrived at the cellar entrance, Li Yu glanced at Ruyi, gestured, and pointed downwards. Ruyi understood and loudly said to Zhou Jia, "Master, my wife asked me to make an iron brush...until Become a complete skeleton."

When Steward Ouyang heard the footsteps and voices, he felt happy. Finally, someone was here. He pricked up his ears and found that the sound was coming from above. He heard Ruyi talking about how to use an iron brush to scrub people into white bones. He was frightened. Gains and losses shouted, "Come here! Help! Let me out quickly!"

Zhou Jia also felt very cold after hearing this. He raised his feet and went down to the cellar. He looked at Steward Ouyang and asked coldly: "It's not impossible to let you out. Please tell me first, what are you doing in Qingchuan?"

Steward Ouyang argued: "Uncle, I am a passing merchant. I am delivering goods to Master Zuo of Qinglong Village. Please let me go."
