Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

After Chen Gu left, Yun Yu and Hu Shao, who were responsible for the overall coordination of Chi'an, arrived. They might stay there permanently in the future and be responsible for the subsequent management of Chi'an.

Yun Mo brought five hundred soldiers and secret guards to garrison Chi'an, led by Yun Shiyi.

As for the ten pigs sent by Chen Gu, two were given to the people in the village as a year-end benefit, and they were kept for slaughtering during the New Year. The other eight pigs were left to Yun Shiyi and the soldiers, who would slaughter one every once in a while, so that they would not have to buy meat to eat.

When Ming and Liang heard that Lin Yinan was going back to Longtan, they started to panic.

Having come to Chi'an with their family for such a long time, the city lord has made specific arrangements for them to do things. Except for the young children and eldest brother Aliang who has injured his leg, the two families follow the people from the village to work in the fields every day and do not dare to be lazy at all.

They all knelt in front of Lin Yinan, "Lord City Lord, please take us back to Longtan?"

"You haven't packed your things yet?"

She was a little confused. They had been packing up for a few days, but they hadn't started yet when they heard the noise.

Ah Liang was startled and said, "I have put them all away."

"If you have it packed, then come with us tomorrow. We have prepared a mule cart for each of your two families."

When he heard that a mule cart was prepared for them, Aliang's tears instantly burst out. Ah Ming gave him a look and felt a little angry at him for not fighting back. They came to see the city lord to talk about something other than these.

Ah Ming stepped forward and said respectfully, "Lord City Lord, did you forget to sign the indenture for us?"

"You don't need to sign a contract to sell yourself. You can go to Longtan and find a job to settle down. If you work there for two or three years, you and your family can buy a house."

"No, no, no, Lord Mayor, we are not going anywhere, we are just following you." Aliang explained hurriedly.

"Do you think we have betrayed the Lord, so you don't want to sign the indenture with us?"

Ah Ming was clear-headed and thought that this was what Lin Yinan was worried about.

Lin Yinan stared at the two of them. "I accept you, which is the greatest trust. Longtan's development requires talents from all walks of life. You two can read. When you arrive in Longtan, I will sign an employment agreement with you and let you shine in the right positions."

The two came out of the living room in a daze and went back to discuss it with their families.

After all, Brother Aliang had worked in a shop and was knowledgeable.

"Everyone, rest assured. The city lord will not ignore us. She means that she will arrange work for us when we arrive at Longtan."

Everyone finally felt relieved.

The things had been almost packed, and after dinner, Lin Yinan took Yun Shijiu out for a walk.

Qianwu took out a bundle from the room, which Qianxia had been mending whenever she had free time during this period.

"Sister, is this the clothes you made for your brother?"

Chixia, who came out of the kitchen, immediately frowned and said, "No."

He wiped his wet hands on his waist, reached out to grab the bag, and walked out in a hurry.

Qianwu made a face towards her back, "Lululu, don't think I don't know that you are doing this for your loved one."

As she stepped out of the corridor, Chinatsu turned around and gave her a warning glare, telling her not to talk nonsense.

She moved lightly through the village's twists and turns, finally stopping at the corner of an alley and disappearing into the darkness.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse. A bright moon hangs high in the sky, bright and peaceful.

A hazy figure walked silently from a distance, the moonlight fell on him, casting a long shadow.

The man was about to push the door open when his hand suddenly stopped and he turned his head to look at the darkness in the corner.

"Who's there? Come out!" The man's low voice was cold and sharp.

Qianxia walked out slowly from the darkness carrying a bundle and looked at his face covered with a black scarf.

"I'm going back tomorrow. I made a few face towels and two sets of clothes for you to change into." Qianxia said as she handed the bag to Yun Shiyi.

He stared at her quietly. The pair of clear eyes in the darkness were as beautiful as the twinkling stars in the sky. His cold gaze softened and he was even a little dazed for a moment.

Qianxia felt a little helpless when he looked at her, her cheeks slightly flushed. She lowered her head embarrassedly and handed the bag to him.

Yun Shiyi's gaze shifted to the bundle in front of him, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly under the black scarf, revealing a faint smile.

"You're not afraid of me!"

"Don't be afraid!" Qianxia shook her head.

He raised his hand and took off the black scarf from his face, "Look at me, are you really not afraid?"

Qianxia looked up and saw the hideous scar on his face again in the moonlight. It took a very strong will to survive such a long scar.

Yun Shiyi was stared at by her eyes as clear as spring water, and his heart suddenly began to beat wildly and uncontrollably. This was the first time he felt his heart beating since he was rescued by his master from the mass grave.

He looked away in panic, not daring to meet her gaze again, and reached out to take the bag from her hand.

Qianxia smiled at him and said, "It's late, you should go to bed early. I'll go back first."

After she walked two or three feet away, Yun Shiyi mustered up the courage to say, "When I get back, I'll ask Madam for marriage, okay?"

Qianxia paused, and the person behind her said softly: "Qianxia, ​​will you marry me?"

Qianxia turned her head and saw Yun Shiyi had quietly walked behind her, staring at her intently.

He clenched his hands tightly under his sleeves, trying hard to hide his panic.

She had just confirmed her feelings when he asked to marry her. Wasn't this progress too fast?

Seeing that she pursed her lips and said nothing, Yun Shiyi repeated what he had just said, "Qianxia, ​​will you marry me?"

He leaned forward slightly, his eyes full of anticipation.

She lowered her eyes, and when she raised them again, her eyes were full of determination, and she nodded shyly.

Yun Shiyi's eyes suddenly lit up, and his unconcealable joy was revealed. He hurriedly took out a silver hairpin from his bosom and pinned it on Qianxia's head.

"This is what my mother left behind. I'm giving it to you."

Qianxia blushed with shame. She didn't dare to stay any longer and turned around and ran away.

Warmth emerged in Yun Shiyi's dark and deep eyes and gradually spread. He paused slightly, and then followed her quietly from a distance until she returned to the house and closed the door.

Then I heard the voices of two sisters talking in the house.

"Sister, why are you back so late?"

"Shh! Qianwu, keep your voice down, everyone is asleep."

"You just realized now that everyone is asleep. Look at you, your face is flushed. Tell me! What did Yun Shiyi do to you?"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"Just wait, I'm going to tell my brother when I get back! I'll let my brother teach you a lesson."

"Qianwu..."

Cloud three!

Thinking of Yun San, Yun Shiyi felt a headache. He didn’t dare to stay any longer and turned around to walk back.

Watching Lin Yinan and his convoy leave, the people in the village felt as if their hearts were hollowed out and half of their souls were lost.

"I wonder when City Lord Lin will come back?"

"The city lord is so busy!"

"If she doesn't come, we can go to Longtan to see her during the New Year!" said the mountain sparrow in a cheerful tone.

After this incident, she was no longer as lively as before and became much more calm and steady.
