Chapter 284 284, Li family
Soon, a man in his thirties walked out of the thatched house. The man was wearing dusty coarse clothes. He didn't know what he was busy with. His body was covered with grass clippings, and his hair was a little messy.
The man looked at the dark group of people standing outside the door. His eyes suddenly widened. He was really surprised that so many people came to a ghost village like theirs?!
It’s really a long time to see you.
"Are you guys?"
The man stepped forward to ask while adjusting his clothes.
"Excuse me, where is the village chief's home? We are here to enter Hubaiyun Village." Father Song stepped forward and raised his hands.
"What? You want to live in Baiyun Village?"
The man raised his voice in surprise, his expression could not hide his disbelief. He looked at the group of people as if they were fools, as if he did not understand their behavior when they entered Baiyun Village.
"Are you sure you want to settle in Baiyun Village? Didn't you get any information before coming?"
Song's father said with a hearty smile, "I am very sure that we have applied for household registration at the county government and are now members of Baiyun Village."
"Brother, it seems from your tone that we shouldn't choose Baiyun Village. Is there any hidden secret in this?" Song Muyao on the side was very curious. As soon as he stepped forward, he put his hand on the other person's shoulder very familiarly.
He looked like he was all ears.
Hearing this, the man suddenly understood, and then said seriously, "Looking at you, I know you must have not asked anyone before settling down, right? Pingsha Town is the most desolate town in the entire Cangshan County, and the annual harvest increases.
It is less than 40% of that of other counties.
Among them, our Baiyun Village is the most barren and the most desolate among the three villages below Pingsha Town. You have seen it along the way, right? There is not even a decent crop land in our village.
It’s not that we are lazy and don’t want to plant, it’s that the sandy soil here cannot grow food at all. If it weren’t for help, who would be willing to settle down in Baiyun Village? Even going to the two villages next door is better than Baiyun Village.”
"Ah? No way?"
"Is Baiyun Village so bad?"
"Can't you grow any food?"
"Then what shall we eat?"
"We are just farmers who rely on farming to make a living. How can we do anything if we don't farm?"
"What can we do?"
"No wonder this village is so deserted, that's how it is."
"But our household registration has been completed, are there any other options?"
As soon as the man finished speaking, before the Song family and others could finish speaking, the villagers behind the crowd started shouting. Everyone's faces looked anxious and worried, as if the sky was about to fall.
In fact, it's no wonder that everyone is so worried. These fleeing villagers came to Nanman with all their might. The only comfort is that they can be allowed to open up wasteland and cultivate the land, and the soil they plant is theirs. They have been dealing with the land all year round. In the end,
What you are not afraid of is hard work.
Now they have finally settled down, but obviously the actual situation is different from what they imagined. Before that, they thought in their hearts that no matter how bad the land was, they would not be able to grow any food. It must be the local area.
People are not good at farming.
However, I didn’t expect that this soil really couldn’t grow food!
Now that the only spiritual comfort was gone, how could the villagers who were holding on for breath along the way accept it? This undoubtedly extinguished their last glimmer of hope.
The reaction of the Song family and others standing in front was not as strong as that of the villagers. It was not that they did not care about food, but that this group of people had never been exposed to farming and had no idea about planting.
Even if they are in the current situation, for them who have no experience, at least for now, everyone has no awareness of this aspect at all.
So even after hearing the man's difficulties, they only frowned slightly and didn't take it too seriously.
Among the group of people, apart from the fact that the Song family knew a little about farming because they were military generals who fought all year round, the Cao and Wen families were a family of scholars and had no contact with farming at all.
Even the dozen or so people who committed crimes and were exiled had lived their lives in the capital, eating and drinking. How could they have ever farmed?
The reason why the Song family is not worried at all is because they know that their family is not good at farming, and they have no hope that they will really make a living by farming in the future. Their years of practicing martial arts are not in vain. They go into the mountains to hunt.
Or you can do some handicrafts and sell them to support your family.
What's more, they have some wealth secretly, so they feel confident, so naturally they won't worry too much.
As for the Cao family and the dozen or so prisoners, they are just people who are wasting their days. They are typical people who are drunk now and will not think too much about the future.
Naturally, the Wen family also had worries, but because the Song family was around, their emotions were not so obvious.
"Okay, everyone, please be quiet. What's the noise like?"
When Village Chief Li saw the villagers chattering non-stop, he quickly scolded everyone. Didn't he already prepare for the worst when he fled?
What kind of fuss is going on now? We don't have to embarrass their Lijia Village, and they don't have to worry about the nobles. I don't know what they are panicking about. They really can't calm down at all.
Since the nobles chose Baiyun Village without hesitation from the beginning, it must have its merits. He and the clan elders also reached a consensus last night.
Regardless of their knowledge and background, or their knowledge and brains, they are naturally incomparable. Since they know their own shortcomings, they should learn to follow the good and smart people in doing things.
It is rare that they have the opportunity to meet such a noble person. Perhaps it is another kind of compensation from God to their village. Even if they don't think about themselves, they have to think about the young people in the village.
If they bet correctly, they might be able to find a way out for the children. Although they have little knowledge, they still understand some truths.
"."
The village chief roared, and the villagers immediately fell silent. A group of them were all from Lijia Village. Most of the people in the village were named Li, and the village chief's family had always had an unshakable status and prestige in the village.
Because the village chief and clan elders are basically from their own family lineage and have absolute authority in the village, no one dares to offend or disobey the village chief and clan elders.
In the hearts of the villagers, sometimes what the village chief says to the clan elders is more effective than some village chiefs and town elders, and the village chief's family is also the most knowledgeable family in their village.
Because the village chief's boys would be sent to private schools in the town to study when they reached the age. Although the village chief Li Ming did not have much talent at that time, his youngest son was very talented in reading. He passed the exam last year and was also a child student in his village.
The first scholar who has a good reputation will definitely not be too bad in the future.
