Chapter 106 Chapter 106: Join hands to strive for a well-off life [please vote]
Qishan has become accustomed to Shen Xiaolangjun's erratic way of thinking: "Name? What name does Xiaolangjun want to give him?"
< br>Shen Tang had a serious look on his face: "A village full of evil people?"
There is not a single good person in the whole village, inside or outside.
All of them are villains and deserve their reputation.
Qishan: "..."
"No, no, this name will scare away newcomers. At first glance, they would think it was some illegal pyramid scheme. How about calling it 'Reformation Village'? That doesn't work either. It’s still not very decent, how about changing it to ‘join hands and go to a well-off village’?”
Qishan: “…”
He really can’t have much hope for Shen Xiaolangjun.
Smiling but not smiling: "Shen Xiaolangjun, you can choose whichever one you like."
It won’t be used in the future anyway.
Shen·Tang, a patient with difficulty in choosing: "..."
She left the choice to God.
I grabbed a handful of weeds and counted nine in total, so I decided to choose the third one——
Let’s go hand in hand to achieve a better life!
This is God's will!
She patted the grass clippings on her clothes and returned to the open space. Less than 30% of the people in the open space were all young and strong men with sound hands and feet. Gongshu Wu was inspecting everyone with his hands clasped behind his back.
Shen Tang always felt that something was not harmonious.
Did Gong Shuwu arrange for them to undergo labor reform? Change your mind and start a new life? What about everyone else? Where did everyone else go?
“Where are Yuanliang and the others?”
"Mr. Qi just ordered a few people to go down the mountain to buy."
Shen Tang was curious: "Buying?"
"Well, Mr. Chu took Mrs. Lin to count the grain storage in Dongchu. discover supply In less than three days, Mr. Zhai was about to go down the mountain to join his brother, so Mr. Qi took this errand and went down the mountain. He will return early tomorrow morning. "
Of course, the most important thing is to pick up his family. business.
"Mr. Gongshu, what are you doing?"
If they were forced to do a forced labor camp, Shen Tang would prefer to send them to build houses or reclaim wasteland to grow things. Self-sufficiency was the way to go. I go down the mountain to buy every time, how can I waste so much money? Once the war breaks out in Sibao County, prices will skyrocket, and even gold and silver will not be able to bear it.
Gong Shuwu remembered the advice of the two gentlemen and did not speak too directly for fear of scaring Shen Tang: "The world is not safe. If you want to live a stable life, force is indispensable. These young and strong qualifications It's not good, but with a lot of practice, it can be used."
"So it turns out that Yuan Liang and the others are thoughtful."
There must be more than this group of bandits in the mountain.
In this dangerous world where wars are everywhere, if you want to create a well-off village, you cannot make the village rich just by farming. You must also cultivate a certain amount of armed forces to ensure the stability of the surrounding environment of the village and avoid being envied by other people. Village robbery.
"By the way, where have those old and weak people gone?"
"Mr. Chu arranged other jobs for them."
It's not easy either, cleaning, chopping wood, logging, and moving rocks.
“Where is Miss Lin?”
Gong Shuwu: “She should still be in Dongchu.”
Shen Tang diverted to the East Kitchen.
I saw Chu Yao and Lin Feng all the way away, each holding a mat, looking down at the account books to discuss something. Lin Feng sometimes shook his head, sometimes frowned, sometimes took out an old abacus, clicked, clicked, and flexibly fiddled with a few beads...
Shen Tang: "???"
Inexplicably, she felt a sense of shame in her heart, feeling that she had become an unemployed vagrant doing nothing.
Even Lin Feng has arranged work. She is responsible for managing a dozen captive women - some are elderly, some are just the right age, and some are younger than her - let her They do some washing, cooking, and tailoring work.
Shen Tang: "..." Strictly speaking, Sister Lin Feng is a child laborer, right? ? ?
The key is that she has no stage fright at all.
After thinking about it, I felt that this was a matter of course.
Although the Lin family in Lingzhou is not a wealthy family, it is still a well-established and wealthy family. Counting the property of the manor and other buildings, there are more than two hundred servants alone. In a family like this, if that incident had not happened, normally Lin Feng would have found a suitable family at the age of thirteen, married at the age of fifteen, and become a clan wife in another family or a matron of the family.
According to the female education of the inner house in this era, Lin Feng might have been taken by the Lin family's mother to learn housekeeping at the age of five or six. She was taught how to manage the house and be worldly. Even if she only learned a superficial knowledge, it would be enough to manage a dozen people.
It was for this reason that Chu Yao asked Lin Feng to help. Upon contact, he found that this woman was extremely perceptive and could learn everything very quickly.
I couldn't help but secretly say it was a pity.
What’s a pity?
It’s a pity that Lin Feng is not a man.
Women cannot open up the Dan Mansion, and naturally they are not brave enough.
After the discussion was almost over, Chu Yao finally remembered that there was Shen Tang beside him who was looking at Lin Feng eagerly, and put away the account books.
"What's wrong with Wu Lang?"
"Of course I can use Miss Lin's help."
Chu Yao's face dropped, even though he knew that Shen Tang didn't have that kind of attitude at all. Meaning: "Wu Lang, be careful with your words and don't offend."
Lin Feng didn't understand why Chu Yao had a dark face at first, but after hearing his words, he realized what was wrong, and was so embarrassed that he covered half of his face with a booklet.
Shen Tang: "..."
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Clear your head, how old is Sister Lin Feng?
"...Okay, okay, I'm cautious, I'm cautious, I can't delay any longer, it will get dark again if I delay any longer..."
Shen Tang pulled the person away as if his butt was on fire.
The place where the Lin family guards dumped the body was not high. There was a river below with fast currents. Some of the corpses fell into the river beach and were eaten by wild beasts that came smelling the smell of blood. Some of them fell into the river and floated away along the river.
There are also some luckier ones hanging on the vines and tree branches growing from the mountain wall, which are well preserved. Shen Tang climbed up and put the people down.
Those unrecognizable corpses could only be identified based on their owner’s clothing. Less than six out of ten corpses were found.
Looking at the little girl who was crying silently into tears, Shen Tang wanted to comfort her but didn't know where to start. At this time, anything she could say was feeble, so she could only say dryly: "First tell your grandmother and the others. Get settled, I'll take you to the lower reaches of the river later... If they see you like this, they won't feel safe walking."
Lin Feng had no reaction and cried even harder.
Shen Tang was suddenly as big as two heads. It was really hard for such a cute, sensible and beautiful child to cry in front of her!
Looking at the old lady with a relatively peaceful face, Shen Tang's heart skipped a beat and said solemnly: "If the old lady hasn't gone far yet, listen to what this junior has to say - from now on, the junior will regard Lin Feng as... I don’t dare to say that I have no worries about food and clothing, but as long as I am alive, she will be alive too!”

“Teacher, look——”< br>
A dusty carriage was parked by the river. There was a bonfire not far away, and an old man was grilling fish.
Hearing the noise, he got up and walked over. Following the direction pointed by his disciple's little hand, he saw several corpses floating in the middle of the river. He raised his hand to cover Ayan's eyes and sighed: "Ayan, don't look."
Ayan looked up at him: "No, there is a living person."
The old man: "A living person?"
Ayan said: "One is still alive."
An old man and a young man splashed into the water and fished out the man who was still breathing. After some examination, he found out why this man was still alive. The ventricle of his heart was much more deviated than others, and the penetrating wound on his chest happened to avoid the vital part. .
I still have a lot of injuries from falling, including fractured ribs, broken arms and legs, and I don’t know how long I floated in the water. I lost too much blood, but I can still save a breath. It’s all thanks to Wenxin Scholar’s good health!
He died, his relatives came at the wrong time... He just lay down...
Let's see if he can regain his strength tomorrow.
