The casual life of the flat space

"Where was my uncle sold to? Was there any news later?" Bai Tieying asked.

"How could there be any news? Your uncle was only Tiexiong's age when he was sold. What could he remember? Even if he could remember, we don't know how far he was sold. How can a child be found?"

Bai Tieying felt mixed emotions after hearing this. In her previous life, she was an only child, and she could never imagine whether she would do this if she had a brother. But looking at Bai Tiexiong who had been sitting obediently beside her, she felt that it was not impossible. Anyway, she would never let anyone who hurt Bai Tiexiong go.

"Brother, look, Tieying has a small nose and a small mouth, she really looks like the Bai family. But look at Tiexiong's big eyes and high nose, she really looks like her mother!" The village chief couldn't help but sigh as he talked about the past and looked at the two sisters in front of him.

Bai Tieying turned to look at her brother after hearing this. After taking a closer look, and thinking about the appearance of her parents, she realized that the old saying "daughters take after their fathers, sons take after their mothers" really applies. Wasn't her father aiming to improve the genes of the Bai family?

Although her father is not handsome, he is not ugly either. How should I put it? He looks a bit like a boy with a girlish look. Bai Tieying has been here for several days, but she still hasn't had the heart to take a good look at what she looks like. She also wants to use the bronze mirror she bought in the county in her space later, so as not to waste it. Otherwise, she looks like both her uncle and her father. She is really not sure what she looks like.

"Grandpa Wang, would you like to continue telling me how Baijia Village became Xianhe Village?"

"Well, I've said a lot today anyway, so I'll explain it to you clearly! Otherwise, I guess you won't give up, and you'll be as stubborn as your father!

What were we talking about just now? Oh, this Baixing Village has established new village rules, and after more than a hundred years of recuperation, our Baijia Village has regained its former bustle.

Because it is not far from the county town, and the merchants are willing to buy our grain, so every family can live well. Take your family for example, you also built three rooms. If there were not so few people, you could have reclaimed a few more acres of wasteland.

Alas, who would have thought that there was a disaster hidden in this? Every year after the autumn harvest, whether we went out to sell grain or the merchants came to the village to collect grain, everyone was used to it. But one year, a merchant said he wanted to go to the mountains for fun, and the young people in our village didn't think much of it, thinking that he was just taking him for a walk nearby, so they took him with them.

But who would have thought that they didn't come back at night, so they had no choice but to go into the mountains to look for him. They searched for three days in a row but still couldn't find him. His mother cried so hard that she fainted several times. At this time, a group of people from the county town came to look for the merchant, and finally said that the villagers were greedy for money and killed his family's man.

Of course, the villagers were not happy, and they said that a young man in the village was missing! Then the group said they would continue to look for him. Originally, if a villager was missing, they had to look for him. If he was alive, they had to find his body. There had to be an explanation, right? Unexpectedly, the group was not allowed to stop even at night, so everyone had to follow the search with torches.

On the fourth night, a villager who had walked far away heard faint cries from the top of the stone ravine. Because he was far away from others and was anxious to save people, he did not notify other villagers and went down to the ravine to check the situation.

The young man was indeed lying under the rock, but his body was broken in many parts and he had eaten all the grass roots around him. Finally, someone came to explain the situation.

It turned out that the merchant was a spy from Lan Country, and this time he came to support the Lan Country's invading army. He originally thought it was strange that they had no intention of sightseeing, but just kept moving forward, and kept asking about the surrounding villages leading to the North Mountain, so he became more suspicious. The merchant was also unaware of the rule that ordinary people were not allowed to enter the mountains, and seeing that the young man didn't know anything, he also suspected him.

When they reached the top of the rock, the young man said he wanted to urinate and let the merchants go first. The gang suspected that he was going to inform others and pushed him off the rock from behind.

He was indeed unconscious for an unknown amount of time, but when he was later awakened by the severe pain in his body, he heard the merchant's subordinates reporting to the merchant that he was confirmed dead. He did not even dare to breathe and continued to pretend to be dead, and thus heard the merchant's plan.

The merchant had originally planned to kill him, if not him then someone else who led the way. In this way, the people in their village would go to look for them if they didn't go back, and the sound or the torches would give the army directions.

But the merchant didn't know that the villagers had a rule not to go into the mountains at night, so he just hid himself and waited for them to find him. Because he didn't know how far they were hiding, the young man didn't dare to shout for help, and he endured it for seven days, until the villager happened to walk up to the top of the rock and called his name, and he knew it was from the same village and dared to speak.

The villagers who wanted to save him had to give up on him and returned to the village to report the incident. The village chief decided to send him to the county town to report the incident to the county magistrate, and the villagers immediately packed up their belongings and fled to the county town.

But the families of those who accompanied them up the mountain refused to agree and insisted on going to find them. The village chief had no choice but to leave some people behind to support them while the others escaped as quickly as possible.

But at that time, the village had been peaceful for a hundred years, and the families were old and young, and they didn't want to leave anything behind. There was a sudden noise in the village late at night, and not only did the people not go far, but they attracted the attention of the merchants in the mountains. According to the people who escaped, they were the only ones who came back far away from those people without being prepared.

The village chief and his men went to chase the villagers after the escaped people. Halfway through, the man who was going to the county town to report the news came back. It turned out that the gatekeeper refused to open the gate when he heard that he was going to see the county magistrate. He had no choice but to shout at the foot of the city that the Lan country army was coming. As a result, the gatekeeper refused to open the gate even more after he shouted. He was also worried about his family, so he came back.

Since going west meant going around Tatoudianzi, the village chief decided to go east to avoid the Lan army. Among these people, some of the young and strong had gone up the mountain to look for people, and many people who stayed in the village had not rested for a few days. The old, weak, women and children could not run fast, and they were carrying a lot of belongings... Soon they heard that there were pursuers behind them.

The village chief asked the eldest son of the family to lead the villagers to continue to escape, and then he turned around and left with fifty young and strong men who were willing to come out to cover their retreat.

Perhaps it was because there were not many enemy pursuers, or perhaps it was because the village chief and his men were brave, although those fifty-one people never came back, the remaining villagers also survived this catastrophe.

The raid was successful because of Baixing Village, but it was also because Baixing Village was exposed. The court did not reward or punish them, but only asked them to change the name of the village. As a result, this defense loophole was discovered, and the county town was rebuilt and equipped with a permanent garrison. "
