Traveling back to ancient times begins with the use of stone tools

It was late, Leng Ruoxue was too lazy to run, so she curled up on Liu Ruxu's bed and fell asleep.

The mother and daughter hadn't slept in the same bed for a long time. Leng Ruoxue slept soundly, while Liu Ruxu hardly closed her eyes.

Sometimes I worry that my daughter is catching a cold, sometimes I worry that she is getting too hot, sometimes I worry that there are mosquitoes staring at her... Anyway, I close my eyes for a while and then get up to take a look.

The maid on duty at night noticed Liu Ruxu's abnormality, so she could only try her best to block the mosquitoes at the door of the house. The guards in charge of patrolling at night also noticed it, but they did not dare to stare at the yard directly, so they could only strengthen the guards.

Leng Ruoxue slept soundly all night and felt embarrassed when she saw Liu Ruxu's dark circles under her eyes in the morning.

"Mother, am I disturbing your sleep? I'd better go back to my own yard to sleep tomorrow!"

Liu Ruxu yawned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Mother just hasn't slept with you for a long time and I can't bear to close my eyes."

Leng Ruoxue then realized that ever since she discovered the valley of Wangjia Village, she had been acting alone and indeed rarely spent time alone with her mother and brother. "After this busy year, we will stay together next year."

"Okay, go take care of your own business. Mother doesn't want to delay you."

Liu Ruxu looked at Leng Ruoxue with relief.

After Leng Ruoxue finished her breakfast, a servant came in and said that the people from Fufeng Village had already arrived in Lengjia Village. The village chief didn't know what the rules were, so he sent someone to ask Leng Ruoxue for instructions.

Leng Ruoxue felt strange. This was too fast. She had just finished breakfast and went to Lengjia Village.

When I saw the people from Fufeng Village, I understood why they arrived so quickly.

The entire Fufeng Village looked like people covered in dust.

Luggage...if you ignore the thatch and firewood you carry on your back, then you have nothing.

How did these people survive? Leng Ruoxue used to think that the people of Lengjia Village were very poor, but now it seems that Lengjia Village is not poor anymore.

The people of Lengjia Village had also suffered, and when they saw the people of Fufeng Village, they felt sorry for them, so every family contributed a few bowls of porridge.

More than 80 people squatted timidly in one place, not daring to stand out for fear of dirtying the ground.

The bailiff in charge of notification saw Leng Ruoxue and hurried over to salute, "County Lady, I told them that you would arrange for their village to move and that they should pack their luggage at night. Someone would come to pick them up this morning. But they packed their luggage in less than an hour and insisted on leaving immediately, so I had to lead the way."

"They don't even have pots and pans?"

Leng Ruoxue looked surprised.

There is no iron or stone one, but there must be some wood one. If these people don’t even have wood one, how lazy can they be?

"Greetings to the county lady!"

"Greetings to the county lady!"

The people who were drinking porridge noticed Leng Ruoxue. Their eyes turned red. They put down the bowls in their hands, knelt down and kowtowed to Leng Ruoxue.

An older-looking man spoke up.

"County Lord, Fufeng Village is full of sandstorms all year round. The rocks have all weathered away, and the trees are no thicker than a finger. The villagers haven't eaten hot food for many years. We just eat grass and branches..."

He choked up before he could finish his sentence.

Only then did Leng Ruoxue realize that there were no old people or children in Fufeng Village, only skinny middle-aged people.

"You guys always do this?"

"My Lord, we are not originally from Fufeng Village, but from Baijia Village. Seven years ago, the county magistrate's brother-in-law took a fancy to our land and forced us to sell it. We were unwilling to sell it, so we were forced to move out of Baijia Village and moved to the abandoned Fufeng Village. There were more than 300 people, but now there are only 80 people left. If we hadn't known that the former county magistrate had been arrested, we would not have dared to follow him."

A middle-aged man spoke.

"They said each family would be given a yard and 10 mu of land as compensation, but who knew that only the foundation of the yard was left, and nothing could grow on the 10 mu of land except weeds. The more than 300 people who moved there that year either ran away or died..."

Suddenly there was a burst of crying.

"We would like to ask the county magistrate to help us. No one who has entered the county has ever returned alive. If we want to leave, we can't go anywhere without a pass. Even during the drought last year, we could only sneak through the mountains without a pass..."

"We don't ask for a house or a field, we just want a way to survive..."

A group of people began to kowtow to Leng Ruoxue, and blood came out after a few kowtows.

"Get up, everyone!"

Leng Ruoxue tried to pull people in hastily, and the people from Lengjia Village also tried to pull people in hastily, but they couldn't stop them.

"If you don't get up, you can go back to Fufeng Village!"

Leng Ruoxue roared angrily, and the people of Fufeng Village finally got up, lowering their heads and not daring to look at Leng Ruoxue.

“Every household lined up.”

80 people lined up by household, 10 people in one household, one person in one household, 20 people in one household, which was a bit strange.

"Your household can still have 10 people. How many people should there be in the original family?"

"My Lord, actually...actually we are not from the same household. We just got together to avoid military service. The ones who are from a single household just want to find a way to survive through military service."

The person being questioned gritted his teeth and told the truth.

Leng Ruoxue:……

"You are all under my care now. As long as you work hard and honestly, you will have food to eat and a place to live. So, let bygones be bygones. You originally had several households, so register them according to the households. I've asked the clerk to re-register you. You only have one chance, so make the most of it."

After that, he gave them some space to discuss, walked aside, and said to the guard, "Go and inform the villagers, if anyone has extra pots, bowls, clothes or other daily necessities, I will take them for one penny each and give them to the newcomers from Lengjia Village. Don't take these bowls back, they are also one penny each, I will take them, you can count them."

The guard accepted the task, yelled, and told Leng Ruoxue's request, "Young man, you don't have to run, just protect the county lady, we will go and notify..."

Several villagers scattered.

Soon, some villagers came to deliver things. "Young man, you don't need to register. We don't charge money. Everyone has troubles. I don't have much rice left at home. I'll give you two kilograms of rice to fill everyone's stomach."

The guard looked at Leng Ruoxue in embarrassment. Leng Ruoxue said, "Then I won't pay you, but you have to register."

One by one, the villagers took out the extra things they had at home, all for free.

After discussion, the people of Fufeng Village separated according to their original families.

Seeing that one family had a few bowls of rice, another had a stone pot and a few wooden bowls, they wiped away their tears silently. They were saved and were assigned to such a kind village.

Unfortunately, the dead can never come back.

"Grandpa Village Chief, look at these people. They are all strong laborers. Why don't you... merge them into the cooperative? The people of our Lengjia Village are one. I will not send anyone to Lengjia Village anymore in the future."

Leng Ruoxue changed her mind when she saw these people.

The original 15 households now amount to 25, and many of them are relatives.

After dividing the extra yards that he had prepared, there were only two yards left.
