After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

I just added a thousand words to the previous chapter, you can take a look at it together.

Ye Qing became interested, "Did he agree?"

"Of course not. He bought an acre of land in the village and plans to settle here."

Ye Qing thought about it and it made sense. Liu Jing's daughter had been getting much better recently and hadn't gotten sick even with the change of seasons.

He must be reluctant to leave. The village gives him a lot of money every month, and his food and drink in the village don't cost much. Teaching the children in the village martial arts is not a very tiring job.

As the three were talking, Ye Fang's youngest son Ye Jin came to see them.

"Dad, Grandpa asked you to return the key to the meeting room. There are two people who want to stay in the village. An old man brought a girl. They passed by the village to look for relatives and asked to stay for one night."

Ye Fang got up and went back with his son, asking about their situation on the way.

When Ye Fang arrived at the door of the conference hall, he saw a hunchbacked old man with a thin body, accompanied by a girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old.

The little girl was shy and hid behind the old man with her head down, so that only the patched corners of her clothes could be seen.

"Old man, come in with me. You will stay in the wing room tonight. There is no bed inside. Go outside and get some straw and spread it on the ground to sleep."

Ye Fang had thought it through carefully. The weather wasn't that cold yet, so he could just lay some straw and cover himself with a piece of clothing at night so he wouldn't freeze.

The old man was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes, and he thanked Ye Fang repeatedly.

"Young man, thank you for lending us the place. This house is new and solid. We can sleep well at night."

Ye Fang understood this feeling. He couldn't sleep well outside, fearing that he would be attacked by wild beasts.

"Rest here, don't wander around, and don't go anywhere else."

The old man agreed readily and promised not to go anywhere else.

Ye Fang explained a few more words and looked at the girl who had not spoken a word, feeling a little strange.

The old man saw Ye Fang's confusion and explained that his granddaughter was timid. Ye Fang did not doubt it and thought that staring at a girl would have a bad influence.

When Ye Fang went out, he met Ye Xuan who came out of the winery, and the two greeted each other.

"It's almost dark, Brother Ye Fang, why are you here?"

"Two people came to the village to seek lodging, old and young, so let them stay for one night."

"What are they going to eat in the evening?" Ye Xuan thought of this.

Ye Fang just remembered this. He forgot to ask them if they had anything to eat.

Ye Xuan stopped Ye Fang who was about to go back, "Brother, we still have some food left in our workshop this afternoon, send it over to them."

Ye Fang thought about it and agreed. Zui Xiang Fang now provides a meal at noon, so there will be some leftovers in the kitchen.

The leftovers include both meat and vegetables, so it is not a waste to give them to the grandfather and grandson.

Ye Fang went back first, and Ye Xuan went to the workshop and took it and sent it to them.

“Old man, this is clean food. If you don’t mind, I’ll give it to you.”

The skinny old man's hands were shaking with excitement. "Don't mind, don't mind. We haven't eaten for a whole day. Thank you."

Ye Xuan also noticed the girl, but he didn't feel comfortable staring at her all the time.

After delivering the food, he turned around and went home without noticing the complicated expression on the girl's face.

The next morning, Ye Qing entered Zui Xiang Fang and was stopped by Master Li who was watching the warehouse.

The person in charge of the warehouse was Li Daren, who was from the same guard post as him and was introduced by Liu Jing.

"Master Li, what's wrong? What happened?"

"Qingya, someone tried to sneak into the workshop last night, but I found him and he ran away."

Ye Qing was young, and Zhou was afraid that she could not control herself, so she did not allow others to call her the shopkeeper, but only allowed them to call her Qing Ya.

The villagers also hired several masters, and they also called her Qingya.

Ye Qing's face was heavy. "Did you see who it was? How good are his skills?"

"I didn't see clearly. Wangcai ran away as soon as he called out. I chased him but didn't see any trace of him."

"Have you looked around? Did you find anything?"

"I checked, there are only footprints around, not farther away. I suspect this person has not left, and is still hiding in the village."

As the two were talking, Ye Xuan came in. Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, he put away the smile on his face and walked towards the two.

"Master Li, what happened?"

Li Daren repeated what he had just said. Ye Xuan's face turned pale. It had only been a short time and the workshop had encountered this again. "

Ye Xuan thought of the grandfather and grandson who lived in the front yard, "Did you go to the front yard to ask if they heard any noise at night?"

Li Daren thought there was no one in the front yard, so he didn't go to the meeting room in front.

"Who is in the front yard? Why is there someone living in front?" Li Daren looked at Ye Xuan in confusion.

Ye Xuan told about the two people who came to stay overnight yesterday, and took Ye Qing and Master Li to the front yard.

When I arrived at the front yard, there was no one in the room and no luggage.

Ye Xuan was shocked and quickly checked the house. He felt relieved when he found that nothing was missing.

Li Daren didn't go into the house, but walked around the front yard wall.

Standing beside a courtyard wall with a serious face, Ye Qing didn't see any problems from a distance, so he walked towards Master Li and saw two bricks in the corner of the wall with footprints on them.

Ye Xuan also saw this scene, "This is definitely not done by the villagers. If the villagers want to see it, they can go directly to the workshop and see it."

Ye Qing looked at it carefully and uttered "hmm", which attracted Ye Xuan's attention.

"What's wrong? Have you found anything?" Ye Xuan walked over here anxiously.

"There were two footprints there. The mud on one footprint hadn't dried yet, so it looked like it was left there just now. The other one had dried not long ago."

Ye Qing thought of the two people Ye Xuan mentioned and suspected that there was something wrong with them.

Master Li also thought of this. "Let's go find Liu Jing. He is in charge of the village's public security and knows everything about the village."

Not long after I walked out of the door, I saw Liu Jing talking to Team Leader Wang’s eldest son, Wang Chun.

The two also saw Li Ren walking hurriedly over, stopped talking, and walked towards Li Daren.

"Brother Liu, a thief came to the wine shop last night, but I scared him away. I suspect he is still in the village. The two people who stayed overnight yesterday went there."

Liu Jing looked around and pulled Li Daren and Wang Chun to an open place so that if they were talking, anyone eavesdropping would be able to see it at a glance.

"The two men didn't leave. They were begging for food in the village and said they would leave at noon."

Li Daren glanced at the two of them from a distance. The girl definitely didn't have any kung fu skills, but the old man might.

The two of them had their doubts in their hearts, but they did not alarm the grandfather and grandson, and just watched from a distance.

By noon, the two of them visited every household in the village.

Kaoshan Village was a wealthy village. Seeing the miserable state of the grandfather and grandson, they gave them some food.

Liu Jing watched for the whole morning, and the two did not do anything excessive. He just chatted with the elderly in the village for a few words and then took his granddaughter to continue looking for relatives.

Liu Jing walked up to the old man and asked, "Uncle, what did those two people tell you just now?"
