Above the pit, in front of a simple wooden house, an ox cart stopped.
Shen Cuiyun got off the carriage holding Luo Luo, and was slightly startled when she saw the somewhat simple wooden house.
Lao Wei and the others said that the boss wanted to take her to the villa to stay for a few days, and she felt a little excited.
Has my man prepared any surprise for me?
After all, with her man's current strength, he can even buy a mountain. If he builds a small farm, he should also have the ability to do so.
But on this hill, apart from this small wooden house and the outer circle of wooden walls, there are not many other signs of construction.
She looked at the cabin in front of her again.
Well...it's a bit crude, but she'll follow her man wherever he goes.
Shen Cuiyun is not afraid of hardship. As long as she is with her man, she feels very satisfied.
Although Shen Cuiyun didn't think there was anything wrong, others couldn't help but complain.
Old man Liu jumped off the ox cart, looked around the wooden house, and couldn't help but curl his lips:
"You said the boss earns so much money, why did he build such a small house? How can we live here?"
He said this to Aunt Liu.
The boss said it was not advisable to go out tomorrow, so he asked them to come to the mountain today.
Although Aunt Liu didn't know what had happened, she knew what the boss said was right, so she called her husband to come over.
But Old Man Liu was used to enjoying himself on a daily basis, so it was already very stressful for him to ride in a ox cart and bump all the way up the mountain.
Now when he went up the mountain and found such a simple and dilapidated wooden house, he immediately started complaining.
"Just come if you're told to. Why all the nonsense?"
Aunt Liu is now the pillar of the family, and her tone of voice is much more aggressive than before. She scolded Old Man Liu in front of everyone.
Old Man Liu was so embarrassed that he glared and was about to speak, but Aunt Liu stopped him with a word, "If you keep talking nonsense, go home. I asked you to look after the fish stall for a few days. Do you really think you are a big shot?"
Old man Liu suddenly fell silent.
He could look after the fish stall branch in Dahe Village and earn ten copper coins a day.
That was all thanks to Chen Changfan's support.
No matter how much of a bastard he is, he should be grateful for the kindness of his boss.
The couple was arguing, but Lao Wei and Hu the roofer did not interrupt. Instead, they quietly unloaded things from the car.
Most of the belongings on the two ox carts were Shen Cuiyun's, and the rest of the people only brought some necessary bags.
Bricklayer Hu was alone and had the least stuff, while Old Wei brought his wife with him.
Unlike Old Man Liu, Old Wei's wife is very quiet and obeys everything Old Wei says.
How can I not be obedient?
Lao Wei can earn 40 copper coins a day, and she wants to support her man.
Just as everyone was waiting for Chen Changfan, several voices suddenly came from outside the wall. Those people were shouting Chen Changfan's name in a rather impolite tone.
"Chen Changfan, come and open the door! Let us in!"
"I heard that Chen Jia Erlang bought a mountain, so he has to take care of us villagers, right?"
"Where is Chen Erlang? Your old aunt is here. Have you forgotten that I held you in my arms when you were a child?"
Shen Cuiyun frowned and looked out through the gap in the wooden wall. She found that many villagers from Dahe Village had gathered outside the wall, and they were all shouting Chen Changfan's name and wanted to come in.
"These tails must have seen our ox cart and followed us all the way here."
Old Wei also leaned over to take a look at the gap and said in a deep voice.
Although Shen Cuiyun and her daughter came from the county town, Aunt Liu and her family went to Dahe Village to pick them up. Old Wei thought he was very cautious along the way, but he didn't expect that he was still followed by the villagers all the way.
"Mr. Liu, was it you who leaked the news? Otherwise, how would those people know that the boss is on this mountain?"
Aunt Liu glared at Old Man Liu, who looked aggrieved. "I didn't go out and tell anyone about this. Besides, this is my first time on this mountain."
Aunt Liu was about to ask something, but at this moment, the door of the cabin opened and Chen Changfan pushed it open and walked out.
As soon as he appeared, everyone immediately quieted down and seemed to follow his lead.
"You are all here." Chen Changfan glanced at the crowd, all of whom had been following him.
He had to protect these people, so he called everyone to Xiaofeng Mountain.
He just didn't welcome the uninvited guests outside the wall.
"Old Wei, how's your archery going?"
In the past few days, Chen Changfan took the time to teach Lao Wei some simple archery skills. Lao Wei seemed to be quite talented and learned very quickly.
"Boss, within twenty steps, it's almost a sure thing."
Old Wei said with some pride.
Chen Changfan nodded and said, "Bring your bow and arrows and follow me to the arrow tower."
According to Chen Changfan's expectation, an arrow tower should be built every twenty meters so that invading enemies can be promptly alerted. Unfortunately, the construction period is tight and only two arrow towers have been built so far.
One faces the road at the foot of the mountain, and the other faces the direction of Black Wind Village in the distance.
He and Lao Wei climbed up the arrow tower and looked down from above, taking in the villagers outside the wall.
More than a dozen villagers gathered outside the wall, all of them were women and elders in the village.
These people may not seem to pose much of a threat, but in fact they are a huge burden.
When they saw Chen Changfan show up, those people immediately waved their hands and shouted at Chen Changfan to let them in.
"Erlang, please let us in. The village has begun to run out of food. We have no choice but to seek refuge with you."
"Everyone says you've made a fortune, so why are you afraid of treating us to a few meals?"
"Chen Jia Erlang, if you have a conscience..."
call out!
As those people were muttering, an arrow shot down from the arrow tower and pierced the ground beneath their feet.
The arrowhead was deeply embedded in the soil, and the tail was still trembling slightly.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you all. I, Chen Erlang, am a heartless man. If you know what's good for you, please retreat as soon as possible. Otherwise, the bow and arrow have no eyes."
Chen Changfan's voice came out faintly, and the old women all showed anger when they heard it.
"Chen Changfan! You've made so much money running your fish stall, so what if you share some with the villagers?"
"If you give us some food, we will leave."
"We don't ask for much. Just one bag of corn per person. Give it to us and we'll go."
At this point, these people have finally revealed their true colors. They are actually here to ask for money.
In fact, the people in Dahe Village had long regarded Chen Changfan as the God of Wealth, and each of them wanted to make some money from him.
If Chen Changfan had not brought his wife and daughter to live in the city in time, the threshold of his house would have been kicked down by the villagers.
Listening to what the villagers said, Chen Changfan couldn't help but sneer.
He doesn't even want to care about the life and death of his own weird family, so how could he care about these villagers he only met once?
These are troubled times. If you show too much compassion, you will probably die a miserable death.
"Old Wei, shoot!"
At Chen Changfan's command, Old Wei drew his bow and shot an arrow.
With a few whooshing sounds, the arrows flew past the villagers' scalps, scaring them so much that they screamed and ran away, cursing Chen Changfan for being so heartless and not caring about the lives of his fellow villagers.
Chen Changfan just thought he heard a few barking dogs.
The two came down from the tower. Chen Changfan glanced at everyone, his gaze lingering on Old Man Liu, and asked calmly:
"From now on, I'm afraid you will all have to live in Xiaofeng Mountain. If anyone doesn't want to, you can leave now."
After the words fell, no one spoke. It was obvious that everyone obeyed Chen Changfan's orders.
As for Old Man Liu, he just complained a few words just now. Without the care of his employer, he was afraid that he would not be able to survive more than three days.
"Since everyone wants to follow me, I will naturally protect everyone. Just follow me."
As he spoke, Chen Changfan opened the wooden door of the cabin and walked in first.
