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

"I can still be polite to you. I will definitely call you if there is anything. Li Daren and his men are also in the village. You can go and talk to them. They were talking about you this morning."

The young man called Mr. Wan could actually only write up to the third character. When he first entered the garrison, he pretended to be a scholar. Later, he was found out and was nicknamed Mr. Wan.

He was not annoyed. Whenever a newcomer came to the garrison, he would deceive them for a while.

He doesn't have any bad intentions, he just has a quirky personality and likes to play tricks on people.

Guizi was very excited to hear the news about Li Daren. The two of them had the best relationship in the garrison, and she was worried about how he would live after being released.

Now, after hearing his news, he couldn't wait to pull Mr. Wan to the meeting room.

Liu Jing led his men to continue checking several locations to ensure that any movement could be discovered.

The night patrolmen all went back to rest last night, and Liu Jing also took advantage of the afternoon to take a nap.

Ye Qing followed the head of the village to arrange the affairs of the village and notified the villagers to hide their valuables first.

If the cellar at home is obvious, go hide in someone else's house.

Many people’s cellars have both visible and dark areas. The one in the dark area is not their own person and cannot be found at all.

The cellar of the Ye family is even more special, as the three brothers’ residences are connected.

They dug a cellar in a hidden place and also dug a tunnel to connect several houses together, so that there would be multiple escape exits in case of an emergency.

The retreat route they prepared was to go up the mountain, and Boss Ye sent the family's cows and mules to the yard in the city.

One was kept at home in case of emergency.

Several scholars were not allowed to return these days because the road was too dangerous.

If they come across someone with ulterior motives, they will arrest them and threaten the villagers.

Of course, they didn't live in the courtyard in the city. You could find out where the courtyard was by asking around.

They went to Liu Rui's house. The Liu family was wealthy and had guards, so there was no need to worry about their safety.

Boss Ye only told them to stay at Liu's house for a few days first, to see how their family behaves and to see if Liu Rui's people are clean.

If there is anything wrong, the girl from the Ye family cannot marry in and suffer.

The few people had no doubts and wanted to go and have a look. Liu Rui also promised to show them his collection of Go pieces made of various materials.

Liu Ran knew the truth of the matter and sent someone to follow him every day when he went to and from school.

These young men have been eating well in the past two years, drinking milk and goat's milk every day. They have grown taller and now look like big boys.

The youngest, Ye Xiu, has grown five centimeters in half a year and looks like a handsome young boy.

Liu Ran wanted to send people to the village to help, but Boss Ye refused. He didn't know whether anyone would come or how many people would come, so there was no need for so many people to help.

Zhou and Li hid all the valuables and small items in the house in the cellar.

There was some food stored in the several cellars at home, so if any were discovered, the rest could still be saved.

Ye Qing put her most handy slingshot on her waist and prepared a large bag of stones.

Ye Dalang took the bow and arrow to find his uncle and asked him to help maintain it.

The three people, Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, each carried a kitchen knife, and Old Man Ye carried a machete, which he had picked up on the way to escape the famine and had kept hidden away.

Some people also think that Liu Jing is exaggerating and deliberately trying to scare everyone.

Isn’t it normal for people from the village to come and stay overnight? They didn’t stay long and left the next day.

There might be a thief coming from outside the village and was encountered by the night patrol.

Although I thought this in my mind, my hands were not idle. I hid everything that should be hidden in the house.

Some people put some dirt on their bodies, and when someone suddenly broke in, they would sprinkle the dirt on his face unexpectedly, giving him some time to call for help.

The sun hadn't set yet, but smoke from cooking began to rise in the village. They went to bed early and got up to keep watch at midnight.

The Ye family lives at the very edge of the village, and if a fight breaks out, they may not be able to take care of their family.

Boss Ye gathered together the women and children of the Zhou, Sun and Ye brothers and hid them in the home of Boss Ye.

Just leave two people at home to guard the place, and the others can go to the village to help.

The children who study in the village usually practice martial arts very well. Now, when they hear that someone is coming to the village to cause trouble, they also follow their families out on patrol.

Children need more exercise and experience more things in order to grow.

When it was completely dark, the children were sent back home to protect their families.

By the way, every family was given a gong. If something happened, they could ring the gong and the people on duty nearby would arrive in a few breaths.

As the night deepened, the young people in the village were nervous and excited. Tonight, all the villagers rested in their clothes, with their weapons beside them.

Ye Qing brought Ye Xi with him to follow the head of the village, helping him to summarize the information coming from various places and analyze whether there were any loopholes.

Ye Qing wanted to keep Ye Xi at home because it was too dangerous outside.

Ye Xi was unwilling to do so. She had been practicing martial arts for such a long time, and she might encounter more dangers while doing business in the future, so she wanted to adapt herself in advance.

Ye Qing respected Ye Xi's decision. With so many people around, he let her hide behind the team and watch the battle.

Wangcai was left at home. The weather was a bit hot and the wounds on his body had festering. After this matter is over, I will take him to see Dr. Lin.

Each group arrived at the designated location, and two groups were left behind to patrol the village at night.

Ye Qing did not go back to sleep. He could not bear it any longer, so he lay down on the table in the conference room and took a nap for a while.

Ye Xi followed her sister and took a nap with Ye Qing when she felt sleepy.

The village seems relaxed on the outside but tight on the inside. People who haven't entered the village can't tell any difference from usual.

At about the same time as usual, all the lights in the village went out.

It’s almost the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and the moon in the sky is so bright that you can see it even without a torch.

After midnight, there was no movement, so Boss Ye came to see his daughter.

"Qingya, you two should go back to sleep first. You don't have to stay up all the time. Wait until you hear something."

Ye Qing rubbed his eyes but still refused.

"Dad, I think he should come tonight. We agreed with Manager Zhao to come five days later to pick up the goods. It's almost time now. As long as he doesn't show up in the village, his identity will be exposed."

Ye Fang, who had just come in from outside, agreed with what Ye Qing said.

When Manager Zhao came that day, he stayed with him the whole time and didn't seem like someone who would give up.

Ye Lao Da was unable to persuade his daughter, so he took Ye Lao Er to check each sentry post. At each place, at least two people were left awake to keep an eye on the outside of the village.

When they reached the entrance of the village, Heizi suddenly made a humming sound.

"Heizi, what's wrong? There's a fish bone stuck in your throat." Ye Laoer joked with Heizi.

Boss Ye glanced at Heizi and realized something was wrong. The sound was directed towards the outside of the village.

Boss Ye pulled Boss Ye back to the village and clapped his hands twice.

There was a slapping sound not far away, and Boss Ye felt relieved because the villagers knew something was going on.

Ye Lao Da and Ye Lao Er hid in a corner of the house, breathing rapidly and staring carefully in the direction of the village.
