Chapter 20 Settlement and Rumors
"There must be room for people, otherwise why would Chen Xiaoqi bring us here in person?" The speaker was Village Chief Huang, who immediately shouted to the people of Huangjia Village: "Hurry up and clean up the house and settle down. Can’t you wait for Chen Xiaoqi to clean it up?”
Hurry up and grab a house for me, or do you want to live in the ruins?
The people in Huangjia Village understood and immediately rushed to the good house, occupying the nearest good house in the blink of an eye.
Son of a bitch!
The other victims cursed angrily and began to run wildly. Like rats that had been knocked out of their nests, they rushed out of their nests and ran around in the ghost village, grabbing the better houses that had not collapsed into rubble.
Chen Xiaoqi was dumbfounded and hurriedly urged Grandpa Qin: "Your family should hurry up. It was your family who came up with the idea of coming to the ghost village. Don't let your family not even snatch half of the broken house in the end. Come!”
Grandpa Qin said: “ Dalang and the others have already taken a shortcut to grab a house in the west of the village. "
Dalang and Xiaomi both have the habit of observing the terrain. Before they entered the village, they saw a piece of good roofs in the west of the village. They knew that there were houses in the west of the village that were suitable for living. As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I slipped away to the west of the village.
After hearing this, the nearby victims immediately shouted: "There are good houses in the west of the village, everyone, hurry up and grab them!"
Dozens of victims rushed to the west of the village.
Unfortunately when they arrived, Qin Xiaomi and the others had occupied all the better rooms.
Qin Xiaomi also took his cousin Qin Xiaogu to pull a rope to block the road, saying: "First come, first served. We have occupied all the habitable houses in the west of the village. You go and take a look ahead. Run faster, maybe we can Grab a good house.”
The victims were angry: “Girl of the Qin family, don’t be too overbearing. Come on, get out of the way, otherwise don't blame us for trying to rob the house!"
"Two horses and three horses, Aying and Ajie." Jiang Dalang formed a human wall with the four people and pointed the wooden stick in his hand. He stabbed the ground hard, stared at the victims and said, "If you dare to take action, I will make you crippled!"
With his back to Qin Xiaomi, his eyes were so terrifying that dozens of victims were frightened by him.
"What are you doing? We all fled together and came to Dongming Mansion. We should live in harmony and not fight!" Chen Xiaoqi rushed over with two soldiers.
The victims immediately begged him to make the decision: "Chen Xiaoqi, relief materials are distributed according to households, and this house should also be divided according to households. Whoever grabs it first cannot own it."
"Oh, if you can't get it, just say it will be distributed according to households. "You are not as good at abacus calculations as you are!" Qin Xiaomi laughed angrily at them and said, "It's fine to divide it by household. As long as the other families who have grabbed the good houses agree, my family will definitely not object."
But it’s strange that other people would agree.
These victims ignored Qin Xiaomi and came to Chen Xiaoqi to cry.
Chen Xiaoqi was given a headache and shouted: "Shut up, stop howling, we can't live in the west of this village."
The victims were stunned: "Why?"
< br>Chen Xiaoqi waited for Grandpa Qin and others to arrive, and then said to Grandpa Qin: "Old man, the west of this village is closest to the back mountain. It is the deserted village where the body was found. The place with the most, I heard from the elders, in the past few decades, a total of six corpses have been found in the west of the village, all of which were eaten until only the skeleton was left..."
Before he could finish his words, the victims He exclaimed: "Is this so evil? You have to leave quickly. If you stay here for a long time, you may get caught by something!"
Dozens of victims stopped clamoring for houses and ran away from the west of the village.
Chen Xiaoqi convinced them and persuaded Grandpa Qin: "Old man, there are some things in this world that you have to believe. Follow me to the east end of the village. Even if you build a hut on the land, it will be better than living in the west of the village. "Safe."
Qin Xiaomi was unwilling and looked at Grandpa Qin and said, "Grandpa, the west side of the village is very good. It's safe for us to stay together."
Qin. Grandpa thought about the safety of eldest girls like Aunt Qin, Qiao Lizi and Qin Mei, so he rejected Chen Xiaoqi: "Thank you Chen Xiaoqi for your kindness, we will live in the west of the village."
Chen Xiaoqi has heard old people talk about ghost villages since he was a child. My son, I believe in some things, so I gave another advice: "Old man, the west of this village may be the gate of hell. Your family should think more carefully before making a decision."
Qin Laoliu and his wife were so frightened that they wanted to retreat, but Qin Xiaomi said first, "Thank you Chen Xiaoqi, we are not afraid of ghosts, so we settled in the west of the village."
She has lived for three lives and has more resentment than ghosts. "Chen Xiaoqi, come to the big house next to the old tree in the village. The Chai family and the Zhang family are fighting over the house!"
"Why are they fighting again?" Chen Xiaoqi had a headache and hurriedly threw it away. The next sentence: "If you really can't handle it, you can move to the east end of the village."
After that, he took two soldiers and rushed to the big house to start a fight.
"Grandpa, let's go take a look at the house." Qin Xiaomi took Grandpa Qin and the others to the house with the highest roof and said with a smile: "There are three main rooms and two side rooms. The lower part of the house is still made of blue bricks. It's very strong. We can live in it after cleaning it up."
Grandpa Qin was very satisfied and praised: "You and Dalang have the ability. If you rely on grandpa's old legs and feet, where can you get it? Such a nice house.”
But Qin Laoliu was very scared and shrank his neck and said: "Fifth brother, why do I feel that this house is so resentful? The six corpses were not all found in this house, right? Let's move away. ”
"Yes, his fifth uncle, let's move, we can't have a head-on confrontation with those things." Qin Liu Po said, knelt down, clasped her hands together, turned in circles and bowed to all sides of the house, muttering in her mouth Words of mercy.
"The sixth wife's family can move if they want, but my family will not move." Qin Xiaomi went into the house to clean up.
Qin Mei glanced at her mother and wisely went to help Qin Xiaomi... She was able to escape from the gangsters only because of the poisonous juice in the bamboo tube given by Xiaomi. It was better to follow Xiaomi, she was more reliable than her parents.
The wives of several families also went to help, and a group of people worked until the afternoon to tidy up the house.
Qin Dashi, Qin Dayan, and Qin Eryong went to find hay and spread it on the ground as beds.
He then went to a nearby collapsed house to find a few usable wooden boards and nailed the doors and windows of the inhabitant: "This way, you won't have to worry about evil people entering when you sleep at night."
But Qin Xiaomi said: "Grandpa, we have just arrived in this village, and the situation is unknown. We must continue to arrange manpower to keep vigil at night."
Grandpa Qin nodded: "Sure, let's continue to line up manpower to keep vigil at night, and wait for two months to completely stabilize before making adjustments."
"Sure." Everyone agreed.
Qin Xiaomi called Jiang Dalang and the others again: "Let's go and occupy all the nearby shabby houses."
Qin Liupo felt that she was just looking for trouble: "They are all incompetent. People live in broken houses, why occupy them?”
“That’s not what we want to occupy?” The broken house is the land!" Qin Xiaomi said: "We want to build a house here in the future. We need to occupy the land first, and we can build a more spacious house in the future. It is not safe to be neighbors with people we don't know well, so we have to do it first. So that we can occupy all the shabby houses nearby and prevent strangers from getting in. ”
After hearing this, Mrs. Qin Liu's mind came to her head: "Hey, girl Xiaomi is still smart."
She hurriedly called her two sons: "Aying and Ajie, hurry up and occupy the shabby house so that you can build a house later." Get a wife!"
"Oh." The two sons followed Qin Xiaomi and Jiang Dalang and spent more than a quarter of an hour occupying all the broken houses near Jiujia.
After finishing all this work, it was already dark, and dozens of people from nine households gathered in the half-green brick house, eating hot boiled soybeans around a bonfire.
……
The next day, at dawn, the clanging gongs sounded again, and a soldier shouted: "All heads of households of the victims should bring their household registration papers and gather at the east end of the village. Chen Xiaoqi has something to say!"
But the victims They all gathered together, and Qin Jiang, Xu Qiaojiu and his family were nowhere to be seen.
The victims were half happy and half sad: "Is something really going to happen to them? Doesn't that prove that there is a ghost in the west of the village? Should we move out of the deserted village?"
