Chapter 370 Butler Zheng went to Devil’s Valley to give gifts?

Qiao Ran really didn't expect that her aunt and little cousin were so thoughtful. They not only sent glutinous rice, but also thought of sending stone mills and millstones.

These things are indeed indispensable in rural areas, because there are no rice milling machines or rice milling workshops of later generations.

When rural families grow rice, wheat, etc., they can only use stone mills or stone mortars to grind or pound the rice or wheat.

If it is to be ground into fine powder, a stone mill is generally used.

The thought of giving these two things shows how attentive the general's wife is.

What's even more rare is that the little two-year-old Zheng Ruolan also thought that during this festival in the capital where she could go shopping for lanterns, and that her cousins ​​and friends in the village didn't have lanterns, she also specifically asked The housekeeper went to buy it and delivered it to me. His kindness was commendable.

The Qiao family accepted these carts of things, and Qiao Ran sent back six green water fish, a hunted goat, and a little white rabbit taken out of the space.

The rabbit was given to Xiao Lan'er. Lan'er liked the little white tigers and little white rabbits of her brothers and sisters very much, but Qiao Ran didn't have a second white tiger to give, so she could only give her a little white rabbit to keep as a gift. pet.

After seeing off Butler Zheng, Qiao Ran called out all the women and children staying in the camp and distributed the things.

The children were very happy when they saw the various lanterns with exquisite workmanship, colorful colors and various shapes. Each of them took one home.

In the evening, people who went to work in the valley came back, and the Lantern Festival cooked by every household was cooked.

Not long after, everyone was holding bowls and eating sweet Yuanxiao with various fillings, feeling warm and sweet in their hearts.

After escaping thousands of miles to get here, not only did they not starve to death, freeze to death, or be beaten to death, they were even able to live a better life than before, which they had never imagined before.

As night falls, the children who have eaten their fill of the sweet Lantern Festival can’t wait to take the lanterns they picked out and let the adults in the family light the candles inside, then go out with their own lanterns to play with their friends.

When the children each held a lantern and compared and commented with each other, the adults also came out of the tent to admire these beautiful lanterns.

Dragons, tigers, rabbits, monkeys, goats, carp, lotus, gourds, peaches, fans... lanterns of various shapes are available, lifelike, and each has its own beauty.

"No wonder the city likes to visit the lantern night market during the Lantern Festival. These lanterns are so beautiful! There must be more beautiful lanterns on the streets of the capital!"

"That's for sure! I was lucky enough to enjoy the lanterns once at my aunt's house in the county town. Good guy! The lanterns on the street are not just small lanterns like this. There are also many big ones, taller than people, even bigger than our tent. A large lantern is a good-looking one! I heard that they are all made by wealthy families in the city at a high price. Whoever makes a large and beautiful lantern will have prestige. Gee, all the people in the county are like that. It’s so beautiful, but the most prosperous capital city in Vietnam shouldn’t be filled with big lanterns all over the streets?”

"Wow! So big? Is it really beautiful? I really hope that we can be lucky enough to go to the city and see how beautiful the Lantern Festival in the capital is!"

"There must be a chance! After we build the village, grow food, and live a comfortable life, we can also take the elderly and children to the city to see the prosperity that they have never seen in most of their lives. , and also an eye-opener for children.”

"Not to mention the future, even tonight, my eyes have been opened for a big old man like me. If it hadn't been for these lanterns sent by the General's Mansion, I would have never seen so many beautiful lanterns!"

"No, my old man has lived a long time, and this is the first time he has seen such a beautiful lantern! If we say that our life is so good now, it will definitely not be bad in the future!"

"Grandpa Qi, you are right! Our life will definitely get better and better in the future! Our land has been cleared, and we will start digging canals tomorrow. Spring sowing is about to begin. Once we have dug the canals, We can level the ground and sow the seeds, and we will definitely have a good harvest this year!"

"Yes, we will definitely be able to grow good crops, good fruits and vegetables here, and sell them in the city for money. We will not have to worry about having a good life in the future!"

While enjoying the lanterns, the villagers talked and cherished the good days now and were full of confidence in their future life.

In the capital, Jia Tongpan, who had just received the news, was not in such a good mood.

"What did you say? Butler Zheng from the General's Mansion went to Devil's Valley to give gifts?"

Jia Tongpan hasn't paid attention to the group of poor refugees in Devil's Valley for a long time.

He had been waiting for the news that those people had been infected by the epidemic and the whole village had perished. However, he did not expect that after so many days, he heard the news about Devil's Valley again. It was actually the steward of the General's Mansion who had brought several carriages. Went to Devil’s Valley to give gifts.

"Check! Go and check! How did those stinky mud-legged people get involved with the General's Mansion? Why would the dignified General's Mansion give gifts to those stinky poor people? Why are those mud-legged people not dead yet? It makes no sense! It makes no sense! "

Jia Tongpan was so angry that he swept all the teapots and teacups on the table to the ground with his sleeves, and smashed them all over the floor.

Jia Tongpuan was angry and anxious, and his superiors asked him to torture the refugees to death, so he took those people into Devil's Valley.

When he thought about it, in a terrible cannibalistic place like Devil's Valley, those stupid mud-legged people would definitely never come back if they went in, and they would all be infected with the disease and die soon.

Anyway, no one dares to go into that ghost place again. Even if all those mud-legged people died inside, no one would know about it, and no one would hold them accountable.

After a few years or more, those people will all turn into a pile of bones, or even rot into soil, and no one will know their identities anymore.

But I didn't expect that those stinky mud-legged people were so tough that they were still alive and well after so long. And I don't know when they hooked up with the General's Mansion and asked Butler Zheng from the General's Mansion to personally go and deliver gifts.

This, this, this...

When something went so wrong, how should he explain it to his superiors?

He had sworn in front of his superiors that those untouchable mud-legged people would die soon!

Fortunately, after all this time, not only is he not dead, but he has also established a relationship with a high-ranking official in the capital.

He wants to kill those people from now on. If General Zheng finds out, will he come over with a big knife and chop off his head?

At this time, Jia Tongpan had completely forgotten that the little girl surnamed Qiao was acquainted with the demon king in the capital, and that the man's butler had gone too far for those idiots.

He had heard that that person had gone out to Beijing on business a few years ago, but it had been so long since he had come back. He might have died outside long ago. He never thought about what would happen if that person came back and found out that he had made things difficult for those people. The refugee may not chop off his head with a knife, but make his life worse than death!

Now the only person Jia Tongpan is afraid of is General Zheng, who comes from a family of military generals, has great military exploits, and has military power.
