Chapter 1662 Food
"Aunt Lei!" Gu Jinli had already found Gao Lei and saw that she, Aunt Guizhi, and the two maids were still milling around nearby. He smiled: "Aunt Lei, you have been wandering around for half an hour. Take a rest. Don't be tired. broken."
Gao Leishi glared at her: "You still know that I have been turning around for half an hour? Then why didn't you come out earlier?"
She looked behind her again, and when she didn't see Qin Sanlang, she frowned and said, "You haven't finished speaking yet? It's really annoying. Now is not the time to go into details. Just say a few words and you have to rush back to other places." Where is the courtyard?"
Otherwise, how long do you want to continue this scene? I am all tired.
Gu Jinli smiled and said: "Stop your anger and let's take a rest. Brother Qin will come when you have rested. After all, we haven't seen each other for so many years, and there are some important things to arrange."
For example, let the Eagle Food Gang cover up Brother Qin's identity.
Although Brother Qin learned the skills of scouting and assassination, he also wore a hooded helmet when he went to the battlefield. Not many people had seen him, but just in case, he still had to make some arrangements.
"Humph, for the sake of your ability to make insect attractants, I will accommodate you one more time." Gao Lei was supported by Gu Jinli and sat on the stone bench aside, looking at the laurel trees that were already full of green. He said sadly: "The leaves are almost green. These damn bandits have delayed our farming. The battle is over, but if food cannot be produced, people in the northwest will still starve to death."
There is less water in the northwest, so spring wheat, which is relatively drought-tolerant, is sown in spring. However, because the Rong people attacked Xing'an Prefecture, the sowing season was missed.
Gu Jinli said: "Aunt Lei, don't worry, it's only a few months late. When the Rong people leave, the government will immediately organize everyone to plant seeds, and we can harvest a crop of spring wheat."
He added: "Farmers here in the northwest mostly grow sorghum, followed by soybeans and sweet potatoes. The sowing period for these crops has not yet passed. As long as they are planted quickly, the harvest will not be delayed."
Gao Leishi shook his head: "You are young and don't understand... In a battle, many men will be killed or injured, and the city wall will be damaged. There is a lack of men to work. As long as there are land and seeds, it is useless to cultivate without hands. Again Plus a poisonous insect disease..."
Just thinking about it made Gao Lei feel sick to death.
No wonder Magistrate Hao and the others wanted to transfer him away. It was really difficult to revitalize this place in the northwest.
Gu Jinli said: "We have insect attractant. After the war is over, we will distribute the insect attractant to every household in each village, and let the farmers take the insect attractant to the fields to attract insects. We will attract insects while working, and wait until the sowing is finished. , and we can trap and kill the overflowing poisonous insects."
After hearing this, Gao Lei nodded in his heart, this method is indeed good.
Looking at her again, he saw a smile on her face and frowned: "Are you not panicking? Aren't you afraid that there will be no food and the soldiers under your man's command will cause trouble?"
Gu Jinli said carelessly: "Don't panic. Why panic? There's no point in panicting in this situation. As for the soldiers, if there is no food, there must be no food in the entire northwest. What's the use of them making trouble? My Qin Xiao Brother is more capable than others, isn't it better to follow him than to follow others? So you don't have to worry about this."
Gu Jinli really didn't panic because she had food.
Haha, you are so calm when you have food in your hand!
Gu Jinli was so relaxed at the moment. When Gao Lei looked at her, she went from being angry to being happy, and actually started to laugh... She was a strange girl. If other girls had encountered a fight, they would have been frightened to death, but she was acting like a normal person day by day. .
No, she still lost a lot of weight. It was only after Qin Xiaozi came back safely that she became relaxed again.
"You are a good person." Gao Lei usually did not praise others, but at this moment he patted Gu Jinli's hand and said sincerely.
Gu Jinli was slightly proud, raised his chin, and said with a smile: "Of course, I also feel that I am much better than other women."
Gao Lei's mouth twitched when he heard this: "You are really not ashamed. I will never praise you again, lest you get carried away."
Gu Jinli laughed and didn't take Gao Lei's words seriously at all. This old lady was a hard-spoken but soft-hearted person.
Besides, Mrs. Gao Lei is already worried about food. If she worries about food again, will she be able to survive this day?
He should be happy after finally defeating the Rong people.
"Brother Qin, we are here!" Gu Jinli had good eyesight. He saw Qin Sanlang from a distance and waved to him and shouted.
When Qin Sanlang heard her voice, he felt a surge of joy in his heart. He quickened his pace and came almost at a trot: "Xiaoyu, I'm here to pick you up."
He looked at Gao Lei again, saluted her solemnly, and said gratefully: "Junior, I would like to thank Aunt Lei for helping to take care of Xiaoyu. I will keep you, Fifth Master Lei, and the Lei family caravan in mind for your help."
Gao Lei accepted him as a courtesy and said, "No need to be polite, your wife also helped the Lei family caravan a lot."
If it hadn't been for Gu Jinli, many people in the Lei family's caravan would have died from the poisonous insect disease this time.
"Okay, stop nagging and go back quickly." Gao Lei was tired and wanted to go back to rest.
"Okay, let's go back now." Gu Jinli came over to support her and said diligently, "I'll help you grow old."
Gao Lei did not refuse, but just reminded her: "Put on your curtain hat. Since you are pretending, you must pretend it to the end. Now is not the time to show your face."
"Hey." Gu Jinli responded, took the curtain hat handed over by Qin Sanlang and put it on. The group left the main house of the Lei family caravan and headed towards the other courtyard in a carriage.
On the way, they met soldiers patrolling the city again. Qin Sanlang greeted them, and Gao Lei also showed his face and said, "We have to patrol the city at night. Thank you for your hard work."
Then he sighed: "I don't want to move, but these two children respect me and insist on taking me back to another hospital. They said they would prepare a table in person and thank me properly."
A general who led the team to patrol the city smiled and said: "This is the wish of Qin Baihu and his wife, and the old lady has made great achievements in this battle, so she deserves to be so respected."
Gao Lei responded with a smile, and the carriage started running again.
They staged this scene because they wanted to erase their connection with Luo Ying.
After all, Luo Ying still lives in the main house of the Lei family caravan. If they don't do a show tonight, if they meet someone smart, they will doubt Qin Sanlang's identity.
Three quarters of an hour later, the carriage arrived at the other courtyard.
After Qin Sanlang sent Gao Lei and Gu Jinli back to the courtyard, he put on his military uniform and rode to the government office.
General Cheng and the others all lived in the government office. When they learned that Qin Sanlang was coming, they let him in directly.
Seeing that Qin Sanlang's face was still tired, he said: "Qin boy, you fainted from exhaustion. Why didn't you take a good rest? What are you doing here?"
Qin Sanlang smiled sheepishly and said: "My colleagues are busy guarding the city and cleaning the battlefield. The general is too embarrassed to lie down in the Lei family courtyard, so I came here to see what the generals have ordered?"
He patted his chest again and said, "Don't worry, General. Although I fainted, my body can still hold on. If you have any tasks, General, just give me your orders."
