Yes.

This is a place of exile, and I'm afraid it has become a common practice here to take money before doing things, and to take action only after receiving benefits.

Qi Yanchuan chased after him for two steps and whispered, "Whether we go back or not, I will replace this hairpin for you."

Shen Ying raised her eyebrows.

That’s good. I won’t take advantage of it.

"After we settle down, let's discuss how to get up there?"

Shen Ying had no objection.

As we walked along, the terrain became flatter and flatter.

More and more people are seeing it.

The village chief sat directly on the carriage frame and gave orders.

A sour and stinky smell lingered for a long time, and Shen Ying kept holding it in. Later, Shen Youtian came to help her and let her get off the car with her mother, which saved Shen Ying from being killed by the stench.

"Pretentious." The village chief was unhappy because he saw through Shen Ying's behavior.

Finally, he brought people to the yamen, a small courtyard, with a front hall and a backyard for official business. The village chief led the way and they naturally headed straight to their destination.

After asking about the origins, the chief clerk had the same expression as the village chief.

You guys, just arrived in Yazhou in such a refreshing way?

"Why did you choose this place? It's so far away from home and there are prisoners everywhere. You came here from afar. Are you really impulsive?" He said it was because of the drought.

It seems that they have not received the relevant documents.

Not knowing what he remembered, the chief clerk suddenly looked at the few people with vigilance, and finally his eyes fell on Qi Yanchuan and Shen Ying. "I see that you two have extraordinary temperaments, like scholars."

And the woman is also definitely not an ordinary housewife or a country girl.

Their appearance was strange no matter how you looked at it. "You two are well-spoken, not like ordinary farmers."

Seeing the chief clerk staring at him, Qi Yanchuan no longer kept a low profile and took the initiative to step forward and explain why the two teams chose to flee the famine in advance.

The drought was so severe that he learned from a wealthy businessman in the city that all the important people in the city were fleeing.

"I didn't dare to gamble with my life, nor did I dare to take the lives of my fiancée's family lightly, so I decided to flee the famine early. We also encountered some accidents on the way, which prevented us from staying in the place we originally wanted to stay.

I simply headed down from Fujian Province. I was stupid, but I only looked at the map and realized that this place was surrounded by water. Since they sent prisoners to this place every year, I was afraid that the water resources would always be sufficient, so I ended up in Yazhou by mistake...

Since you are here, you must really want to settle down here. I don’t have any background, I just know how to do accounting and read.”

"Oh? Really? Then what kind of place do you want to stay?"

Qi Yanchuan looked at Shen Ying.

You have a large family, so you should make arrangements first.

Shen Ying had looked at the map several times before, but there was no detailed map of the Yazhou area, so she could only use a pair of silver cloves to exchange for the chief clerk's suggestion.

"My family," Shen Ying paused, and added, "as well as my fiancé's family, we just need sufficient water resources. It doesn't matter if the land is a little barren, as long as we can grow crops. If possible, we should stay relatively far away from the residences of those who were exiled to Yazhou."

"Just like that? There's no need to get close to the government office? It's the safest place to be near the government office." The chief clerk intentionally attracted the two of them, as if he was testing them.

Shen Ying and Qi Yanchuan both noticed something. This was definitely because they were worried that they had some special identities and were here to investigate or something.

What if the two of them behaved improperly and were to be watched closely? How would they go up the mountain afterwards?

Forget it, let’s just get through this hurdle first.

Shen Ying approached Qi Yanchuan as if she was afraid: "Qi Lang~"

In fact, it's just a wink: Brother, handle it well.

With one word "Qi Lang", the atmosphere of the whole room changed from red and black to pink.

Qi Yanchuan suppressed his discomfort and responded, "Don't be afraid, Sister Ying. Master Zhubu, we are just ordinary people trying to survive. We just want a peaceful place to stay. We will never cause trouble for the government."

The chief clerk held the cloves in his hand and thought, never mind, it’s better to have it than not to have it.

Moreover, recently many prisoners and young people of the Li ethnic group have been conscripted to go to the mountains, and there is indeed a shortage of manpower for farming.

“You really know how to farm?”

Mr. Shen and his companions were very professional when it came to this topic. After chatting for a quarter of an hour, the chief clerk could no longer bear it and hurriedly went into the city. He also sent two people to follow them to divide the land.

If they were divided into different households, each household would be given ten acres of land. If such a large family remained together, a large family would be given thirty acres of land.

It’s better to separate!

"We were afraid of danger on the way, so we had already divided the households in advance. Now that God has mercy on us and let us all survive, we will help each other, but the division of households should still be based on the decision made before the famine."

The chief clerk hummed and said, "Don't be too busy to grow crops. You can choose any place to build a house. It should not exceed the size of three courtyards. Just choose any place. When the time comes, just register and pay the land tax."

The Shen family breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, Shen Ying noticed that the village chief and the chief clerk were arguing with each other.

After the Shen family and others followed the servants to measure the land and look at the location for reclaiming wasteland, the chief clerk and the village chief smiled happily.

The subsidy of two cents of silver per person for the people who took refuge now belongs to them.

"We need them to know what's good for us, so that we can have a complete control. If they don't behave themselves, we will tear down the houses they built and send them back!"

The emperor of Yazhou has been far away for a long time, and the local hegemony is no weaker than Yunnan toast.

Even the village chief is acting like a big shot in front of the former high-ranking officials. Isn't he just getting inflated?

Shen Ying followed the team to measure the land, choose a residential site, and say hello to several "neighbors" around.

After relaxing, I felt drowsy and found a hammock to lie down on.

There are a lot of mosquitoes here, but Shen Ying's outdoor mosquito repellent is extremely useful. After spraying it on the exposed skin, I slept soundly for two hours in a row.

At night, everyone still slept outdoors.

Torches are lit to drive away snakes and insects and also provide lighting.

Where there is light, you won’t feel so desperate.

Shen Ying had a nice dream.

It just ended badly.

At the beginning, she and Qi Yanchuan jumped off the hill together and slid into the 21st century.

The filming at that time seemed as if time had been frozen. Only after both people fell down did time resume.

The staff gave them first aid, picked them up and put them in the ambulance. Everything was done in a busy and orderly manner.

After waking up in the white hospital, Shen Ying found that Qi Yanchuan came to apologize politely and publicly expressed that he was happy to cooperate with her.

As compensation, they invested 100 million yuan in her personal work and also said that she would not be held responsible if there was a loss.

Shen Ying dreamed that she was moved by the one hundred million and was drinking happily with Qi Yanchuan.

"Qi Yanchuan, you are such a good brother. Let's get drunk together!!!" Before he finished his heroic words, Qi Yanchuan suddenly took the hand of a young girl. That young girl was the one who always wanted to pull her down and make Shen Ying a control group. The negative articles said that she was uneducated, had no acting skills, and was not from a professional background. She also spread rumors that she was a drinking and sleeping companion.

"Who wants to be your good brother? This is the type I admire." That face was still arrogant.

Shen Ying woke up suddenly.

I swayed so much that I almost fell out of the hammock.

"Fuck you Qi Yanchuan, get away from me!" Shen Ying gritted her teeth and roared loudly.

This gave me PTSD!

Qi Yanchuan, who was standing next to the stone forest in the distance, silently withdrew his hand that was about to untie his belt.

Not really.

She can see it from such a distance?
