Chapter 131 Southwest Earthquake
Yu Chaosheng smiled and bowed to Cheng Hai, "Hello, Master."
Cheng Hai said "hmm" lightly, pulled out the dagger he usually used from his waist and handed it over, "Gift for meeting."
Yu Chaosheng took it with both hands and put it solemnly into his bag.
Pan Yingying deliberately avoided looking at Cheng Hai and just kept asking Zhao to arrange these slaves.
First, take them to eat a hot meal, and then mobilize the women in each family to use sewing machines to make a batch of coarse cloth jackets as soon as possible. As for shoes, they can be purchased in the system mall.
In fact, it is more cost-effective to do it now, mainly because there is no room for manpower.
The 17 mixed-race teenagers were no longer on the verge of death, but they had not recovered for a while and could not do heavy work. They did not dare to sit idle for fear of being despised by such a good owner, so they dragged their sick bodies to the construction site to set up a pot to boil water.
Seeing the bustling scene in the village, the skinny slaves looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
It was Zhao who arranged the work with a few old ladies. The young and strong were assigned to repair the wall on all four sides. The women were also divided into four groups, responsible for steaming buns and stewing bone soup. The elderly and children were temporarily tasked with collecting firewood.
Since there was no time to build a house, Pan Yingying first bought 1000 large tents from the system mall as an emergency measure.
Everything went according to plan. The new slaves were divided into two shifts, working alternately day and night, and doing literacy work in their free time.
Yu Chaosheng still said the same thing, Taoyuan Village will never allow an illiterate person to appear!
……
……
A month later, the ten-meter-high and 50-centimeter-thick wall was finally built thanks to everyone's unremitting efforts.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and then started to work on building the house.
The slaves were concentrated in a place that Yu Chaosheng had planned before. Yu Chaosheng also distributed food to them and told them very clearly that their indentures would be returned after five years, and that 60% of the food they grew would be given to Pan Yingying to repay her debt, 10% would be given to the village granary, and the remaining 30% would be kept for themselves.
Taoyuan Village will not interfere whether they leave or stay five years later.
On the first night after moving into the new house, all the slaves did not sleep well. They could not believe that such a ray of light could appear in their dark life.
As soon as the walls and houses were built, everyone was gathered together for training.
Because Yu Chaosheng met Xiao Shan with Cheng Hai and obtained the key evidence about the "Eastern Palace Rebellion Case" that year.
It was a letter, a handwritten letter written by Yu Wen Di to Xiao Baicheng.
It was also this letter that sent the former Crown Prince Xiao Fengyi to hell.
Along with this letter, there was also a piece of news revealed by Xiao Shan.
Soon, the Tartars will attack Ningyuan City, and Yaocheng will send troops to help.
Therefore, Yu Chaosheng immediately started training for the whole village.
He and Pan Yingying were forced by Cheng Hai to get up before the rooster crowed every day to practice martial arts.
Pan Yingying: ...
Yu Chaosheng: …
The ancients got up really early!
……
……
Time passed quickly, and soon it was the day when Xiao Shan sent people to Ningyuan.
Yaocheng sent out 10,000 troops, led by a general named Chen.
Pairs of soldiers passed by outside the city wall, startling a few old men who were playing chess while guarding the north gate.
They were all slaves bought from Funing City. Because the weather was too cold to farm, they were arranged to guard the house.
One brave man couldn't help but ask a passing soldier through the iron gate, "Where are you going, sir?"
The soldier was a talkative man. He looked at the towering wall and saw the old man inside the wall talking to them, so he casually said, "Let's go to Ningyuan to fight the Tartars!" Several old men exclaimed, and bowed to the soldiers, "Congratulations to the soldiers for their triumphant return!"
The soldier smiled and didn't answer.
They knew that those who were sent to Ningyuan would most likely not return alive, but who could say for sure?
Since they knew that Yaocheng was sending troops to Ningyuan, the villagers trained much harder, especially the slaves who were bought. All they talked in their dreams were "stab, pick, stab, kill", which was enough to show how deep their hatred for the Tartars was.
On the eighth day of November, two major events happened in Daewoo.
One was that the Tartars sent 100,000 troops to attack Ningyuan, and the other was an earthquake in the southwest, causing countless casualties.
This day is also Yu Chaosheng's nineteenth birthday.
Yu Chaosheng didn't want to make a big deal. He just had a meal with people he knew, accepted a wave of gifts, and went back to the house with Pan Yingying early. Even Batian was sent to Honglian and the others.
It’s nothing, he is just waiting for Pan Yingying’s surprise.
"Close your eyes first." Pan Yingying pulled him to sit on the kang.
Yu Chaosheng closed his eyes obediently, his heart beating loudly.
After a while of rustling, Pan Yingying's voice sounded again, "Okay, you can open your eyes now."
Yu Chaosheng opened his eyes as he was told. On the kang table in front of him was a small cake with three lit candles on it.
There was a pile of carefully wrapped gifts on the kang, 30 in total.
His throat suddenly felt blocked and he couldn't speak for a while.
Pan Yingying did not celebrate his 19th birthday according to this body, but according to his 30th birthday before he traveled through time.
"Yu Chaosheng, happy birthday." Pan Yingying smiled and held a photo album in her hand.
Yu Chaosheng hugged the person in his arms, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.
This woman was so mean. She made him cry on purpose just to make fun of him.
Before Yu Chaosheng traveled through the book, he had never celebrated his birthday. His mother died during childbirth, and every year his old man didn't want to see him on his birthday, so he never celebrated his birthday.
He didn’t expect that this woman would make up for all his thirty years of birthdays.
This woman must love him terribly... wuwuwu...
"Okay, stop crying. Be strong, man." Pan Yingying patted his back, acting very conscienceless.
Yu Chaosheng retorted in a muffled voice, "Who is crying? I just have a cold and my throat is sore!"
As he spoke, he secretly raised his hand to wipe away the hot tears on his face.
Pan Yingying pouted. She heard everything, okay? This kid was crying so loudly!
"Okay, okay, you're not crying. Go open the present and see if you like it."
Yu Chaosheng hummed sullenly, and first picked up the photo album that Pan Yingying had placed aside, which contained all their photos. The quality of the pictures taken with the Polaroid camera was a little distorted, but it recorded many beautiful moments.
He unpacked the gifts one by one, including a game console, sports shoes, and sports car keys...
He took it apart for a long time, his mouth wide open, and he didn't notice that his tears were flowing for a long time.
Pan Yingying pursed her lips secretly, picked up the Polaroid camera, pointed it at him and quickly pressed the shutter. A photo of Yu Chaosheng crying while opening a gift came out.
Yu Chaosheng didn't argue with her for the first time. He looked at her with resentment and said, "Pan Yingying, do you love me to death?"
Pan Yingying: ???
What's wrong with this kid?
