The casual life of the flat space

Grandpa Wu said "hmm" to show that he didn't care, and at the same time signaled her to continue. Bai Tieying then told her again about her encounter with her uncle in the county town.

"My uncle couldn't get away because he had a patient to treat, so he asked Uncle Dafu, the man sitting in front of the carriage yesterday. He is my uncle's apprentice. My uncle asked him to take me back."

Bai Tieying explained how she became rich. Of course, she only talked about the parts that could be talked about, such as how much the ginseng and ganoderma were sold for.

The two old men were both sensible people and naturally would not ask her. Bai Tiexiong always had things to talk about when he got home, so Bai Tieying brought him here out of seriousness and because she trusted him.

The two old men heard about Bai Tieying's experience and couldn't help but sigh that the Bai family was lucky. Otherwise, even if the gyrfalcon gave her ginseng and ganoderma lucidum as a token of gratitude, if she hadn't met her uncle, she might not be able to sell the ginseng and ganoderma lucidum, and even if she did, she might not live long enough to spend them.

"Grandpa Wang, Grandpa Wu, the second thing I want to talk about is related to my trip to the county town."

Bai Tieying then expressed her idea of ​​selling mountain products. However, in order to make up for her previous words, she said that she came to the door, but it was introduced by the uncle; she changed the village chief's sending her to her to repay the friendship of the villagers; and she changed the active display of mountain products to Zhang's purchase of these products.

After saying this, Bai Tieying thought that the two old men would be very happy and would pull her aside to ask her all kinds of questions. She had even thought of what to say next, but she didn't expect that the main room would be silent.

The two old people drank water, some lowered their heads, which made her heart, which was full of enthusiasm for a bright future, feel like a basin of cold water being poured down on it, catching her off guard.

"Grandpa Wang, Grandpa Wu, is there anything wrong with my idea?"

Grandpa Wu raised his hand and motioned for the village chief to speak. The village chief also knew Brother Wu's temper, so he opened his mouth and said:

"Tieying, you have good ideas and you are smart. Moreover, you are such a loyal child. I am happy for your parents." Having said this, the village chief paused, as if considering what to say next.

Bai Tieying felt even colder when she heard this. This technique of "suppressing first and then praising" is really a universal technique from the original world to the other world! She did not respond, but quietly waited to hear what the village chief would say about "suppressing"...

"Tieying, our Xianhe Village has been around for 384 years. My ancestors discovered the existence of the sacred tree and settled here with a group of refugees.

I believe you have heard this story, so I will not elaborate on it today. I just want to say that for more than 300 years, we have lived in this place surrounded by mountains and rivers. Although we cannot say that we have no worries about food and clothing, we can still say that we live and work in peace and contentment.

Although hundreds of years have passed, everyone still remembers the difficulties of their ancestors fleeing here, and they repeatedly united to overcome difficulties and finally earned this place for everyone to live in. Your parents left early and suddenly, and no one told you the rules of our village, so you had such thoughts.

Tieying, when we fled here, we were poor, so how could we not go to the mountains to find food? But at that time, except for the absence of natural disasters and man-made disasters, it was not easy for them to live here. It's not that wolves and tigers come to the village to find food, but they want to carve out a territory in the mouths of wolves and tigers. "The village chief suddenly became excited when he said this.

"You have the intention to repay your fellow villagers, and Grandpa Wang has accepted it on behalf of everyone. However, this won't work. It won't work with me, and it won't work with everyone! Because this is the village rule, a lesson learned at the cost of life. You might as well go and ask your uncle how his father left Xianhe Village, and why he can't return to his ancestral home."

When Bai Tieying heard this, even though she was more than 20 years old, she couldn't control her expression and couldn't help but argue:

"Grandpa Wang, my uncle has already told me what happened back then. It is said that everyone has their own aspirations. I don't think my great-uncle was necessarily wrong..."

"Tieying!" Grandpa Wu shouted and interrupted Bai Tieying's words.

"Brother, Tieying is still a good kid. Calm down and sit down first."

The village chief glanced at Grandpa Wu and felt that there was no point in being angry with a child, so he sat down as he was told. However, he was still angry that another person like Bai Jinwen had appeared in Xianhe Village.

"Brother, I really didn't know that Tieying came here today to talk about this matter. I just thought she came to pay back the money." Grandpa Wu explained first.

"The child said it very clearly just now. We can all hear that the child has no bad intentions. He just wants to repay everyone for their kindness. Besides, the child really doesn't know the rules of our village, so it's really not the child's fault." After Grandpa Wu persuaded the village chief, he turned around and said to Bai Tieying,

"Tieying, don't blame your grandfather Wang for not accepting your feelings. It's really that the Wang family has given too much to our village. Every time there is a disaster, the Wang family is the first to stand up. It can be said that everyone in our village owes their lives to the Wang family! Speaking of it, that was a thing of the past, but no matter when, it is the pain of the Wang family. Let's not talk about the distant past. Do you know why you have never heard of your great-uncle in this village?"

"Grandpa Wang, I apologize for my impoliteness. Just like Grandpa Wu said, I really just thought of this idea to help everyone make more money and have better conditions to live in the future. I definitely didn't mean to make you angry.

The tone of my words just now was not right, please don't take it personally, but I really want to hear where I went wrong. We are the only two sisters left in the Bai family, so please don't treat us like children. If you don't explain things to us clearly, what if we make mistakes again in the future?

Grandpa Wu, if you can speak, please tell me today!" Bai Tieying said, and looked at Grandpa Wu seriously, waiting for him to finish his words.

Grandpa Wu looked at the village chief and saw that he didn't make any other moves, so he continued with what he had just said:

"There were actually more than just a few dozen families like us who came here to escape famine, but hundreds of them.

That was the end of the previous dynasty. The court was incompetent and the officials were harsh and vicious. Disasters were everywhere, including drought, flood, wind, insects, and epidemics. There was no place where the people could live in peace. The words "starving people for thousands of miles and exchanging children for food" could not describe the tragedy of that time.

It was also the time when dynasties changed, and a large number of strong laborers were drafted. The remaining elderly, women and children at home could only struggle to survive, and countless families were separated and their families were destroyed. The hundreds of families that arrived here were naturally those who could not survive in their hometowns, so they left their homes and wandered here.
