Crossing the famine, relying on a spiritual spring to support the entire village

Everyone was surprised and praised Guogai. This kid usually doesn't do anything special, but he is so brave.

"This kid is great! He's a real man!"

"Who says it's not true? Look at these little arms and legs. They have gone through so much pain."

"..."

Villagers praised Guogai for his loyalty, tenacity, and bravery...

The Pot Cover Lady held the Pot Cover in her arms without saying a word, gently wiping the blood off his body. Perhaps in the eyes of others this behavior is worthy of praise, but in her eyes the health and safety of the Pot Cover is the most important thing.

After the crowd admired the pot lid, they realized a serious problem. If the soldiers came and didn't let them farm, they would have no harvest. Without a harvest, all their food and clothes would disappear.

How could they just give up the food and clothing they had worked so hard to get?

One by one, they all ran to Chu Zhiang's cabin, hoping that he would come up with a solution.

"What should we do, Big Boss?"

"We have finally managed to get enough food and clothing, we can't let these people take away everything from us."

"Can't give it to them!"

"Yes, let's fight them!"

"..."

Chu Zhiang also had a headache. Now that the soldiers had discovered this place, he was afraid that the news would spread out soon and his village might not be able to survive.

Daqing law does not allow private reclamation of wasteland, but the government should also be sympathetic during this special period. Why did they fight and do such a bad thing?

These wastelands are not valuable, but you can ask the adults to pay some silver to buy them. If this situation spreads outside, I am afraid that thousands of refugees will flock here.

If these refugees come, there won't be enough food to share.

But these people under his command don't know, and they can't be allowed to know. If they knew, it would probably cause chaos.

Chu Zhiang comforted the crowd and told them to go back. He would solve the problem himself. After getting the promise from the boss, the crowd slowly dispersed.

Su Nian'an looked at the wounded Guo Gai with heartache. If he hadn't kept silent about the location of Axe Village, the village would have been looted by the soldiers today.

Why are the soldiers so abominable now? They robbed, killed and looted on the way to Geli before, and now they are tyrannically collecting high taxes. The government office is so corrupt? Is no one going to take care of it?

It is said that people should not fight against officials, but this official is too bullying and she cannot tolerate it. She has money to buy land, but she doesn't want to spend a penny!

But they seemed to have no capital to fight against the government, and she had nothing else to offer except a pool of gold and silver treasures.

For the first time, Su Nian'an felt that money could actually have such a useless side.

She fed some spiritual spring water to Guo Gai, and asked Chen Jing to find some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing herbs to boil for him to drink, and then found Chu Zhiang.

"Boss, Axe Village can no longer be reclaimed. What should we do with our potatoes?" Su Nian'an got straight to the point.

Chu Zhiang frowned, pursed his lips and said nothing.

"Ah" Su Nian'an thought he had no other options, so he sighed. Could it be that he really had to be a big grudge and give money to those junky things?

"Sister, the land is a small matter. The owner of our potatoes can go to the government office to resolve it," Chen Youqian said.

Su Nian'an was delighted. Who was the boss? Even the people in the government office could have a say.

But if the land issue can be resolved, why does Chu Zhiang still look so bitter and resentful?

Su Nian'an asked, "Why is the boss still frowning?"

Chu Zhiang stood up, looked towards the village gate and said: "The land problem can be solved, but there is a bigger problem"

"What's the problem?" Su Nian'an asked

"Now there are too many disaster victims and there is a plague in Beilin City. If the news that our Axe Village can grow food gets out, the refugees will rush to our side, and the consequences will be unpredictable."

"Are there still people in the village at the foot of our mountain?" She remembered that when they were climbing up Futou Mountain, Su Shuitian had mentioned that there was an abandoned village.

Chu Zhiang turned around and looked at Su Nian'an. Why was this woman avoiding the question? Didn't she hear that he was talking about refugees?

"No. The village at the foot of the mountain has been abandoned for many years. The well at the foot of the mountain has no water, and all the people have left." Chen Youqian answered quickly.

"Then when the refugees come, we will take them in."

"Ah?" Chu Zhiang and Chen Youqian were confused. They both said they were afraid of the refugees coming, but they would take them in if they came. Does this woman know what she is talking about?

"If we take them in, how are we going to feed them?" Chu Zhiang said unhappily. This was his stronghold. What bad idea was this woman giving?

"Who wants to feed them? Let's do it ourselves and have enough food and clothing." Su Nian'an said with a smile. Now it's good. She was just worried that no one would plant other vegetable seeds for her.

"Boss, I need your help with something..."

When a bag of gold, silver and jewelry appeared in front of Chu Zhiang, his jaw opened so wide that a fish could be stuffed in it.

"This... there are so many treasures." Chu Zhiang took a long time to find his voice.

"Oh my God, sister, there are so many treasures, they are hidden so deep!" Chen Youqian was so excited that he had already grabbed the full gold chains with both hands and kept fiddling with the treasures. Oh my God, even in Qingdu he had never seen so many treasures!

"This is all the treasures that my family has inherited from our ancestors. Big boss, go buy some more seeds from the surrounding areas." She was so excited about this little treasure. If she saw the treasures at the bottom of her spiritual spring, she would faint.

"In addition, take care of the rest of the government office and bring back all those who bullied Guo Gai yesterday." A trace of ruthlessness flashed across Su Nian'an's face. She would not let those who bullied her off easily unless she went home.

"Okay, okay. Madam Su, I've known for a long time that you are not an ordinary person, but I didn't expect you to be so arrogant." Chu Zhiang nodded and bowed, without any of the coldness he had when they first met.

After Su Nian'an left, Chen Youqian's face changed slightly: "A little woman who just relied on a bit of luck to get a high-yield potato thinks she is the owner of this village?"

"Brother, it seems that the things on the mountain were really found by the Su family."

Chu Zhiang nodded and said, "If Uncle Wei hadn't forbidden us to do anything, we might have been able to arrest them and interrogate them about the whereabouts of the Ming family's jade."

"Uncle Wei is not here now, why don't we just take them..." Chen Youqian clenched his left fist

"No, Su Nian'an is very popular now, and she is quite capable. Since the disaster, our Axe Village has been stagnant. We are inferior to the bandits in both financial and physical strength. If she can help Axe Village improve its financial strength, then why should we be afraid of not being able to display our talents?" Chu Zhiang returned to his chair and took a sip of tea.

Chen Shitou's eyes flickered: "Big brother is wise"
