Chapter 709 Don't want to be poisoned
He knew that she was someone who could not tolerate sand in her eyes.
If Aozi Village made her dislike it, she would definitely not want to live here.
Xi Yao is really happy for them, because it is harder for villagers to save money than to go to heaven.
Thinking of her telling Awangniang to buy food, she hesitated for a moment and said, "Can you give me the wages first?"
"What?" Zhou Rong put the food away and found that he couldn't understand Zhou Rong's words.
"The war cannot be over in a short period of time. There is a shortage of food in the barracks. Although we are trying our best to arrange it, others don't know. I heard from Awangniang that the price of food in the city is already rising. I think it's hard to get it. Opportunities, some people don't want to miss out, the barracks are full of water, they can't do anything, and the only thing that can be done is food, I will ask Awangniang to stock up more food, after all, there are children at home!" Xi Yao explained .
For a family like the village, even if they wanted to hoard food, they couldn’t hoard much.
If you can pay a salary first, it will save lives for the villagers.
Zhou Rong pursed his lips after thinking for a while and said, "I'll mention it to the general, if I can agree, I can't guarantee it!"
After all, that is not a small amount of money.
"Um!"
It doesn't matter if she doesn't agree, she has already tried her best.
Let the villagers lead the way into the mountain. That is for wages. Dad Awang and the others are willing to do this work. After all, it is visible, and it is different from looking for herbal medicines.
Xi Yao prepared some food and water in a bamboo tube to let them be careful, and then watched them go up the mountain until she could no longer see them, and she withdrew her gaze.
Zhou Li saw the shadow of his fourth uncle going up the mountain, and his eyes were full of hope.
He also wanted to go up the mountain and on the battlefield!
Taking his eager eyes into his eyes, Xi Yao thought about it and felt that Zhou Li could follow Zhou Rong into the mountain.
Although there are threats in the mountains, they can't always protect Zhou Li from a little bit of damage.
Only with slow exercise can he become a qualified hunter.
"If you want to go, mention it to your fourth uncle tomorrow!" Xi Yao reminded.
Zhou Li was stunned for a while, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes, and finally shook his head and said, "I'm still not going to hold back!"
In case of an accident, he could not make up for it with his death.
"If you don't experience bloodshed, how can you get out of your own way in the future, be obedient, and when your fourth uncle comes back, tell him yourself, he should know what to do!" Xi Yao said with a smile.
Zhou Rong himself was brought out, so he naturally knew the key.
Zhou Li was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell him when Fourth Uncle comes back!"
"Let's go, let's go get some fish," Xi Yao greeted Zhou Li and said, "They don't know when they will come back. They will cook a pot of fish and steam two pots of steamed buns. When they come back, they can eat it anytime!"
"I'm going to get the fish basket!" Zhou Li said immediately.
When the two went to the river, several village children were playing there, but Xi Yao didn't see Awang.
She greeted a familiar child and asked, "Have you seen Awang?"
"No, he followed his mother into the city!" The boy bit his fingers and said enviously.
Seeing that his fingers were black, Xi Yao put them into his mouth regardless, and couldn't help but say, "Look at your fingers, they are dirty and dark, you bite your fingers, and all these things go in. If you touch something poisonous, wouldn't it be eaten by yourself?"
The baby who was used to biting his hands looked at his fingers and then at Xi Yao, and cried in fright.
He didn't want to be poisoned.
