The ancestral jade pendant is actually a space, so you don't need to panic when fleeing from fa

Li Jie also stood up from the ground. He looked to be about 1.8 meters tall, which was not short at all.

Yu Qingqing asked him to help carry the bucket of fish. After the others walked to the front and farther away, Yu Qingqing quietly put the rest into the space.

Yu Qingqing then looked around a few more times, and after finding no problems, she found a big tree, put the bucket under the tree, and covered it with some hay. Then she turned around and started walking back.

Halfway through the journey, they met Yu Qingshu who was looking for Yu Qingqing and others. Yu Qingshu saw that behind his daughter, there was a person dressed like a beggar.

He quickly ran forward and asked with some confusion: "Xiaomei, Qing'er, what's going on? Who is this person?"

Yu Qingshu stared at the man, waiting for his daughter to give him an explanation.

Yu Qingqing was afraid that he might misunderstand something, so she immediately answered, "Dad, don't worry. We just met this man near the pond. He is also a refugee, but he came from the mountain. I don't think he has any bad intentions, so I have already made an agreement with him. He can come to help us open up the wasteland, but he must sign a contract with our family. He agreed, so we brought him here."

Yu Qingqing simply told Yu Qingshu what had just happened in the pond.

As a result, Yu Qingshu was extremely frightened when he heard this. This person actually came from the other side of the mountain. Who knew if there would be others?

This won’t do. I must go and talk to the village chief about this.

It was already getting dark, but Yu Qingshu was still unsure.

After he withdrew his gaze from that person, he tapped Yu Qingqing's forehead with his finger and said helplessly: "You! You! You are really becoming more and more independent. If you encounter such a thing in the future, come to Dad. Don't bear it alone. Dad and Mom hope that you will be fine, understand?"

Yu Qingshu tapped Yu Qingqing's forehead, then looked towards Yu Qingmei. He felt relieved when he saw that both daughters were fine.

Yu Qingqing naturally knew that her father was concerned about her, and she kept nodding like a chick pecking at rice.

Yu Qingshu took the wooden barrel from her hand and continued walking back.

When they reached the gate of the courtyard, Yu Qingshu shouted inside: "Xiao Hai, come out quickly. I have something to ask you. Hurry up! Help your sister bring the fish she caught back from the pond. We caught a lot this time."

Although Yu Qingshu was calling Yu Qinghai, his eyes were on Li Jie. Although his daughter said that he agreed to sign the contract, she was still a stranger after all. If he found any problems, he would be the first to not show mercy to her.

Yu Qinghai in the room had just shaken off the dirt on his body. He casually washed his muddy hands and ran out quickly.

Li Jie was also looking around at this time. He saw that the place where Yu Qingqing and the others lived was a bit shabby. There was no change in expression on his dark face.

Yu Qinghai arrived at the gate of the courtyard and noticed that there was an extra person at the gate.

This person is so tattered and smells so good, it's really hard not to be noticed.

Yu Qinghai was also very confused and asked: "Dad, who is this person? Why did he come back with you? What happened?"

Yu Qinghai stepped forward and took the bucket from Yu Qingmei's hand, then carried it inside.

Yu Qingshu briefly explained the situation to him and then took the man to the village chief.

This person's family cannot keep him here privately; they have to tell the village chief first.

If the village chief disagrees, they can only drive the person away and they cannot blindly insist.

Along the way, Yu Qingshu kept asking Li Jie questions in order to make a basic judgment on whether this person could be trusted.

After questioning, we learned that Li Jie had indeed fled from famine. His family members had all gone their separate ways, leaving him alone.

Li Jie just didn't say that his wife ran away with someone else with the child, but he told everything else without hiding anything.

Yu Qingshu felt the same way when he heard this. After all, everyone had fled from famine, and no one was more noble than anyone else.

Li Jie felt very uneasy as he followed Yu Qingshu. He thought that since he had decided to sign the contract, he could stay and no longer wander around. What if Yu Qingshu didn't let him stay?

So when they arrived at the village chief's door, Yu Qingshu was about to knock on the door, but found that his sleeve was pulled by Li Jie. He said pleadingly:

"Brother, you must believe me. Everything I say is true. Please don't hand me over. I am willing to follow you.

If you tell me to go east, I will never go west. I swear. Although I am thin, I have a lot of calluses on my hands. I am also a farmer and I am good at farm work. I am lucky to meet you this time. I really do what I say and work hard and seriously. I will never play any tricks. "

Instead of gambling on an uncertain future, it is better to grab this life-saving straw now.

So Li Jie lowered his posture at this moment, hoping to seize this opportunity.

Yu Qingshu also felt sympathy for him in his heart. If it weren't for the natural disaster, why would they flee from famine?

No one would leave their hometown unless they can't survive.

However, he didn't know the details of the person in front of him, so he had to ask the village chief before everything, and he didn't want to put his family at risk.

Yu Qingshu pried open his hand that was holding his clothes and said patiently: "Li Jie, right? I also escaped from famine, just like you. I can't decide whether you stay or go, it all depends on the opinion of the village chief.

If he agrees, our family will sign a contract to sell you. If the village chief disagrees, we can only hand you over to the government, and they will arrange your place.”

"Knock! Knock! Knock!" The door was knocked and quickly opened.

The person who came to open the door was Village Chief Liu, who happened to be standing in the yard at that time.

The village chief was cooking at home at this time, and layers of black smoke were floating above the house.

Village chief Liu was still very enthusiastic about Qingshu. After all, the Yu family was a group of good people that were rarely seen in the village for a hundred years.

Yu Qingshu briefly explained his purpose to Village Chief Liu, who then looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze.

From the outside, it seemed that Li Jie was indeed a refugee. After all, he was wearing the same clothes as Yu Qingshu and his family.

Village Chief Liu asked a few simple questions and Li Jie answered them one by one.

After a while, Village Chief Liu asked in surprise: "You said he came from the other side of the mountain. I'm afraid this is not a simple matter."
