It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 153

Any ideas?

Tingying didn't have any thoughts and was willing to follow Fu Nulang in any way.

Yile and Zhou Li thought it was safer and less stressful to stay at the farm.

Chunying was a little conflicted. She wanted to go to Governor Chang to look for the latest intelligence, but she also felt that it would not be worth it to put herself in a more unsafe situation.

As for Jiang Yan, after thinking it over again and again, she took the initiative to suggest: "Girl, shall we move to Dongshan Village?"

Although Dongshan Village is poor, it is close to the mountains and can still provide some food, so people will not starve to death all of a sudden.

Although Dongshan Village is remote, its remoteness has its advantages. Normally, apart from the officials who come to collect taxes or recruit men, no one else would come to visit reluctantly.

If there was any trouble outside, Dongshan Village would most likely be bypassed without a guide. Even if they came looking for them, everyone would hide in the mountains and not surrender.

Jiang Yan listed the advantages of settling in Dongshan Village one by one, and the more she spoke, the more she felt that their village was quite good.

But this proposal was directly rejected by Fu Weixin. She was not at the end of her rope, so why should she hide in that poor mountain valley?

More importantly, she has no power to rely on at the moment. How can she maintain the dignity of the master of Dongshan Village? She will probably have to rely on Jiang Yan and her clansmen to survive.

Of course, Fu Weixin didn't directly express his resistance to going to Dongshan Village. Instead, he found an excuse to delay and said, "Wait until you pick up your four elders."

Well, although Jiang Yan couldn't completely guess what Fu Nulang was thinking, she also knew that such things could not be forced. After all, Dongshan Village was indeed in a state of decline in the eyes of outsiders, and she couldn't help feeling regretful.

……

On this day, Jiang Yan, Yi Le and Ting Ying teamed up to go out to look for food. Since the edible resources nearby had been basically picked up, they had to go to farther places to explore.

Before leaving, Jiang Yan specifically asked Chunying to help keep an eye on the whereabouts of Sun Yun and others. Today she was going out to help Fu Nulang find out where Governor Chang stayed after his escape.

With half the people gone, the originally crowded front yard suddenly became empty again.

Around 3:00 p.m., a middle-aged man in a brown patched linen shirt came to the gate of the farmyard. After hesitating for a quarter of an hour, he knocked on the gate very nervously.

Zhou Li talked with him for a few words, then took him to report to Fu Nulang. Not long after, he hurriedly sent him away.

Fu Weixin, who was inside the room, had an unsure expression. After a moment, he instructed Baoqin and Zhou Li, who were waiting there, "Don't tell anyone else about this, especially Jiang Yan, to prevent her from losing her composure. I'll find a suitable opportunity to tell her."

Baoqin looked at Fu Nulang in some surprise, and buried her discomfort deep in her heart in the face of her unyielding gaze.

When Huanyan came back from washing and drying clothes, she saw Fu Nulang with an expressionless face and Baoqin who looked a little worried.

Huanyan's habitual cautiousness made her dare not ask in front of Fu Nulang. She could only silently wonder in her heart and wait for Jiang Yan and Chunying to come back to discuss it.

When Jiang Yan and Chunying were dragged to a corner outside the house by Huanyan and whispered about this matter, they actually didn't take it seriously.

Fu Nu's moods fluctuate quickly. Even when she had everything she needed, she still had unhappy moments. Now, it's even more frequent. As Fu Nu's most trusted confidant, Baoqin's moods fluctuate with her, which is perfectly normal.

Is this really normal? Huanyan felt that this time was different from the past, especially when Baoqin saw the three of them chatting together, there was a moment of unconcealable vigilance and nervousness in her expression.

Jiang Yan and Chunying also noticed it. They looked at each other and decided to go talk to Baoqin and Zhou Li separately later. Of the four people left at the farm, there must be one who knows something, right?
