It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 328

At the end of September and most of October, the people of Dongshan Village were working hard to sow winter wheat.

After a short break from the work in the fields, everyone would carry bamboo baskets into the mountains to pick chestnuts, kiwi fruits and other ripe mountain products.

Therefore, when Jiang Ying brought a group of strangers into the village on a donkey cart, Jiang Yan, who had not been to the county town for nearly a month and had no idea where they were, was at a loss.

The donkey cart was loaded with heavy things, so the group of people who followed refused Jiang Wang's offer of help and carried the things up the mountain.

The people from Dongshan Village were not allowed to follow, so Jiang Fa tightly tied hemp ropes around the two large wooden boxes that Jiang Ying was responsible for, and tied them to the ends of the shoulder pole. He then warned, "The mountain path is difficult to walk on. Be careful not to let the boxes slip or hit anyone."

"Grandpa, I know." Jiang Ying received a signal from the team leader and quickly walked to the front row to lead the way.

The villagers of Dongshan Village watched as the group gradually disappeared into the forest. Jiang Wang then ordered, "Jiang Fu, Jiang Yan, you two should hurry to the county town and see what's going on."

……

Jiang Yan and Jiang Fushu hurried into the county town. At this point, the shops and pedestrians along the street were not much different from before.

Because it was an "unusual movement" in the Fu Mansion, Jiang Yan did not go directly to Jiang Ai or Jiang An to inquire about the situation as usual, nor did he go to find the manager Hao San. Instead, he and Jiang Fu turned into the market and set up a stall selling wild fruits in the corner, and then chatted with the uncles, aunts and grandparents who had not yet closed their stalls nearby.

"What's new? You're asking the right question." He went through several people until a turnip seller took a half-red wild shannai from Jiang Yan's hand, rubbed it casually on the hem of her clothes, and took a bite. "Hiss~ Why is it still so sour?"

Wild fruits are like this, even if the skin is red, it may still be sour.

Jiang Yan wanted to explain, but she heard the aunt raise her eyebrows and say happily, "I've been thirsty all morning, so this is just right."

…Jiang Yan squatted beside her and waited for her to carefully chew seven or eight bites of the wild yam the size of an egg before she heard her say:

"This matter was first known to the godfather of the mother-in-law of the nephew's great-uncle of one of my neighbors. It's related to those people in our county. But he makes a living in someone else's house. If you know about it, please don't spread it around."

Jiang Yan nodded: "I know, I will never say anything nonsense."

"That guy..." The turnip seller raised her hand and then lowered it vertically. "Not long ago, he led his men out to seize territory, but they were unsuccessful and many of his men were injured. I heard he was in a particularly bad mood recently."

Fu Family...

After asking around, Jiang Yan confirmed that the only important thing that had happened in the county recently was the failure of the Fuji family to annex Xiakou County.

It was already night when they returned to the village. Jiang Ying and others were still on the mountain and had not come down. Jiang Fa, Li Hao, and their companions Jiang Xing and Jiang Wang lit a pile of firewood and sat at the gate waiting.

Seeing Jiang Yan and Jiang Fu returning from their journey with sweat on their foreheads, Jiang Wang and Li Hao gave up their stools for them to sit down and rest, then pulled out two crooked things from the fire and handed them over.

"Have a roasted stick to cushion your appetite."

Jiang Yan explained the news he had learned today as he tore open the pitch-black skin. A familiar fragrance wafted through the air...

Jiang Yan paused, then asked, "Grandma, is this yam?"

"What?"

"Yam? Some places also call it yam apple."

Li Hao looked at Jiang Yan curiously for a few times and said, "This is a mountain vine stick. You ate it twice when you were a child."

"Really?" Jiang Yan had no recollection of it. "We didn't come here to eat in the past few years."

Li Hao was very sure: "Yes, you were so greedy at that time that you rolled around on the kang and cried after eating. Your grandma scolded you loudly, and you were not afraid at all. You even stretched out your claws to scratch people. It was so annoying. But this thing is not easy to find. We had to go further inside to find it today."

No wonder... Jiang Yan broke off a small piece and put it into his mouth, feeling the familiar numbness... It was confirmed to be correct.

Her expression was heavy with sorrow: "Grandma, I cried so hard at that time, could it be that I just couldn't get along with this mountain vine stick?"
