    "This is the replenishment of rice and firewood for this month." Passers-by who are responsible for managing the road will come to the thatched cottage every month to replenish supplies. By the way, they will check the utensils at Yunyao Ferry to see if they are damaged. If they are damaged, they need to  Send someone to fix it.

    "Thank you for your hard work, passers-by." After Yunyao watched them carry the supplies in the car to the hut, she took out a string of bamboo slips, and each bamboo slip had a mark: "This is the mark of the travelers who had dinner in the hut last month.  "

    Passers-by took it and checked it, secretly compared it with other houses, and calculated the amount of millet used in Yunyao. They were basically the same, which meant that Yunyao did not use millet for private use: "Three bamboo joints, one corner joint, and one jing."  Festival, there were five groups of people in total last month?"

    "Yes." A festival is something you must bring with you when you go out in this era. It is equivalent to a pass. Even Yunyao must bring it with you when you go out. Different statuses bring different festivals.

    For example, if the second son of his father-in-law comes to visit his father in the fief, he must bring a bamboo knot, which is made of bamboo and is reserved for the people of Lu State.  If Yunyao wants to go out, she must wear a festival made of horns, which is a festival for nobles.

    The Jing Festival is not a specific festival, but generally refers to foreign festivals. The festivals in different countries are also different to show the distinction.

    In other words, four waves of Lu people stopped to eat in Yunyao's thatched cottage last month. Three waves were Chinese, one wave were nobles, and one wave was foreigners.

    The person eating will leave a mark on the bamboo slice with his knot, which also proves that Yunyao did not swallow the millet.

    After putting away the bamboo pieces, passers-by will continue to go to other places to resupply, and take a look at which roads are broken. Many roads need to be repaired after heavy rains.

    Official business is still very simple. Five groups of people stopping for meals a month is not a lot, because it rained last month and the roads were difficult to walk. Starting this month, there will be more and more people, because the field hunting is about to begin.

    The banker has planted the seeds, and the little animals have given birth to cubs. Then the human race will have to battle wits and courage with the small animals that destroyed the banker. The field hunting will be carried out intermittently for several months, and the road will be very busy.

    It¡¯s not just the weather that affects crop harvests. In field hunting, nobles usually lead everyone to patrol the fields, drive away and shoot small animals.

    Yunyao made some dummies with reeds and erected them in the field. Although she didn¡¯t know if the scarecrows could really prevent birds, they were better than nothing and they didn¡¯t take much effort anyway.

    In addition to birds, small rabbits, wild boars, voles these are all animals that harm farmland.

    The weather has warmed up in May, everything has recovered, the birds are chirping, the weather is comfortable, but the work is also busy.  By early June, guests passed by the thatched cottage almost every day.

    Fortunately, with Ji Jiang¡¯s help, Yunyao can concentrate on training, and Ji She can help with the field hunting. This is the time when the teacher shows off his power as a marksman, protecting the banker and catching some game.

    Of course, Uncle Zai and his fellow soldiers were not far behind, and also made simple bows and arrows to assist Ji She.  Archery is one of the six arts, and anyone who wants to make a living in society must learn it, because archery is also a survival skill. Only through field hunting can the villagers be protected from harm. Even the emperor of Zhou would lead hundreds of civil and military officials on field hunting, which shows that the Zhou Dynasty attached great importance to agriculture.  Pay attention to.

    In previous years, it was because Yunyao was young and had not yet learned archery, so Uncle Zai led people to go hunting in the field. This year, it was because Yunyao had to train and take care of the ferry, so there was no time to go hunting in the field. Fortunately, Yunyao's teacher personally went out to hunt.  two.

    From time to time, you can hear the cries of racing tigers resounding in the sky and the earth. The sky is clear and the water is blue, and it is full of pastoral busyness. While training, you can imagine the free and easy appearance of thin dogs chasing hares. It must be very cool.  Sai Hu is a thin dog similar to Roaring Dog, so his performance will definitely not be bad.

    "Boatman on the other side, we want to cross the river." While Yunyao was thinking and feeling the tranquility and tranquility of the fief, a cry came from the other side.

    When Du Niang looked up, she saw two women waving to her across the way, and replied loudly: "My lord, please wait a moment. I'll be there right away."

    Immediately move out the canoe. Since there are only two people on the other side, the canoe is enough, and row over skillfully to pick up the people.  They seemed to be a mother and daughter. The mother had gray hair and the daughter was in her early twenties. They were both wearing half-worn linen shorts, exposing the lower half of their calves. It was impossible to guess their identities.  Although it was strange for two women to be on the road, Yunyao didn't have any doubts and sent them to the other side of the river.

    "Thank you, boatman." The two women didn't ask anything else. They got off the canoe and hurried off, very anxious.

    Just when Yunyao was about to pull the canoe ashore, she heard someone calling her from the other side: "The boatman, come quickly and take us across the river."

    Another group of people appeared on the other side of the river, and there were also four carriages. Yunyao quickly dragged the cowhide raft and the empty gourd, and paddled back to the south bank. This group of people was quite impressive, and they were willing to?He is a great noble.

    "Sister, I can only send you here. You have to behave yourself when you go to Lu country and don't show your temper again." The man who spoke was wearing a brightly colored silk robe with a jade sword hanging on his belt.  Yunyao found that the other party was actually wearing a bronze sword. This was a good thing. This was the first time Yunyao had seen a passenger wearing a sword after traveling for so long.

    The man¡¯s sister is also dressed gorgeously. She is in a graceful blue water skirt. She is wearing a tulle so her face cannot be seen, but her black and white eyes are like stars.  She was adorned with jingle bells, which were extremely expensive. Compared with her, Yunyao looked like a little beggar.

    Yunyao was taking down the empty gourd from the raft when she suddenly felt a chill on her neck. The bronze sword that she had just envied had been unsheathed and placed on her slender neck.

    "Why is this, noble man?" Yunyao was stunned for a moment, not understanding what the other party meant. He was just a rower, so did he need to use a sword?

    "You are very suspicious. How can a boatman have such fair skin as yours?" The man's eyes were hanging up, shooting out an icy cold light, as cold as this bronze sword.

    "Which rule says that a boatman's skin must be dark?" Yunyao found it funny that this guy was too suspicious, as if the whole world wanted to harm him.

    When my sister heard Yunyao's sophistry, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and snicker, and then persuaded: "Brother, we have already taken a small road. No one will know that I will go to Lu country from this small ferry. Why are you so suspicious? Besides, let's talk about it.  , she is just a child and cannot be theirs."

    The elder brother looked at Yunyao and felt that what his sister said made some sense. He saw that although Yunyao's facial features were exquisite and quite good-looking, the lack of sadness on her expression did not look like one of them: "Sister, I can only send it here, as you know  They have so many rules. When my sister gets married, my brother can only be sent to the border. I really can't worry about you."

    "This is no longer the border of our Song Kingdom. You have almost sent me to the capital of the Lu Kingdom. This is not in line with Zhou etiquette. If my husband's family finds out, they will definitely tell you right and wrong." My sister said softly, "I know.  Brother, you love me, but let¡¯s just say goodbye. I have to walk the rest of the way on my own.¡± He was still laughing just now, but the next second he was sobbing, and his eyes were full of tears, filled with the sorrow and sadness of the separation of relatives.

    Yunyao secretly thought that this girl really changes at will.

    The elder brother began to order things to be moved, and then arranged for his entourage to enter the water. He did not apologize for drawing his sword and threatening Yunyao.
