Happiness System

It was the first time that Li Mutong heard her mother-in-law say so many words at once, and she quickly responded with a smile: "I understand, mother!

It's still early. Heilong County is only a little over half an hour away from here. Why do we need to return home in the dark?

Besides, we only have so much food left. There are more than 300 clansmen coming here. Even if there are casualties on the way, it is not a small number. How can it be enough to feed so many mouths?

My daughter-in-law will buy the food back soon, don't worry, mother!"

The old lady looked at her still naive daughter-in-law and shook her head, saying: "The days in Mo Nan are too short, and the tribesmen may not be able to arrive today.

You better be careful!"

The old lady's words came true. Li Mutong was trapped in Heilong County for a night. Not only did the Fu family members fail to reach Baiyuan Village, but even the person who brought the news failed to arrive before the old lady went to bed.

After Qin Yunxi took her two children to the manor, she was almost split in half by Xuan Jian and Jiang Weixiong.

Neither of the two subordinates gave in to the other, and both felt that their own affairs were more important.

She waved away Xuan Jian with a headache and said, "I only know a little bit about farming. Aren't the farming experts we are looking for here? Manager Xuan can just go and discuss it with them. Why are you urging me like Brother Jiang?"

Xuan Jian glared at Jiang Weixiong before retorting, "Master is too partial. If the master is not proficient in farming, does that mean he is proficient in fortifications?"

Qin Yunxi waved her hand and said, "The food we have stored is enough to last for two to three years, so I'm not really worried about food.

This barbarian might come here at any time, so of course your life is more important!"

Jiang Weixiong raised his eyebrows proudly at Xuan Jian, then dragged Qin Yunxi away.

Xuan Jian was about to open his mouth to curse when he saw two confused little masters out of the corner of his eye. He immediately used his face-changing technique to pull the two children into the farmland.

Qin Yunxi followed Jiang Weixiong around the manor first. Although he knew that Qin Yunxi was here for the first time, he still carefully described the place where the master lived in the manor, and where it was reinforced and where changes were made.

After that, he dismissed the servants and made sure that there were no spies. Then he took Qin Yunxi, opened the secret door and entered the basement.

The area below was not sealed and did not require ventilation. Jiang Weixiong lit an oil lamp and led her downstairs.

After walking down for nearly ten meters, it felt like the terrain finally flattened out, and at a glance it looked like just an ordinary stone chamber.

When Jiang Weixiong activated the mechanism again and opened another door, Qin Yunxi once again felt like a bumpkin who had never seen the world.

There was still a stone chamber inside, but the difference was that there were clearly three doors and a road leading to other places.

The large stone room was simply decorated. In addition to a large cupboard filled with things, there was also a soft couch and a dining table.

After walking a few doors closer, I saw two of the master bedrooms and one of the servants' rooms, which also had some simple furniture and bedding.

Don't think it's over.

There is a trap in the big room, and there is an escape route inside...

Considering Qin Yunxi's physical strength, Jiang Weixiong did not take her to walk through several escape routes one by one.

He took out the blueprint and pointed out the location of the secret passage and several defensive mechanisms to Qin Yunxi, asking her to remember them. Jiang Weixiong said regretfully, "It was still too hasty, otherwise we could have made it bigger and better!

In addition, our people discovered a site ten miles to the west, in which there was an old secret passage that led to the cliff on the other side of the back mountain.

We checked and found that the original building of this manor was not here, but at the end where the secret passage was discovered.

Several decades ago, the Hu people invaded on a large scale and the owner and his family were slaughtered..."

Jiang Weixiong paused, skipped some details, and continued: "The houses were burned down, and then the manor changed hands. The former owner thought that the place was unlucky, so he moved it to the ground and built the house here.

There is a section of the secret passage over there that is still usable, and we checked out the cliff side and it is also in good condition, but it will take some time to repair and divert the route to this side. "

Qin Yunxi smiled and said, "It's already very good. We will probably stay here for many years. There's no rush!"

Now this secret hiding room is much better than she expected.

The two men turned around and left. When they found Xuan Jian, the two younger ones were being played digging in the soil by the tenant's children.

Xuan Jian was staring at the potato seedlings in a daze. When he noticed Qin Yunxi's arrival, he said worriedly, "The Hu people's invasion has come earlier.

The cold wind started blowing early this year, but the snow has not fallen yet.

If the Hu people invade Heilong County, it would be a pity for us to lose these things."

The Hu people have always been famous for their cruel behavior of killing, looting and burning. Anything they cannot take away will be destroyed.

If it weren't for the terrain on the Hu people's side, the cost of conquering the Hu people would be too high, and how could they be allowed to do evil year after year!

Qin Yunxi looked up at the dark clouds in the sky. Although she knew it would only snow in the next two days, she still couldn't help but sigh.

After chatting briefly with Xuan Jian, she did not wait for the agricultural expert to come over. She left a formula for him to study to make compost for the unused farmland, and then Qin Yunxi left with her two children.

Xuan Jian was left with a face full of question marks. Are you sure you are not fertilizing the potatoes and sweet potatoes but the vacant land?

After Qin Yunxi inspected the manor residence, Xuan Jian and Jiang Weixiong cleared out the people in the yard, leaving only a few trustworthy ones to serve.

She did not rush back, but stayed at the farm with her two children for two days.

She also played escape games with her two children to ensure that even if the barbarians invaded, even if the mother and her two children were not together, the children could find the entrance and hide in the dark room or the secret room underground.

On the evening of the day we arrived at Zhuangzi, a sandstorm started.

When we woke up the next day, the sandstorm had stopped, but the sky was still gray for two days.

On the fourth day, Fu Xiuwen came to the manor on horseback, and Qin Yunxi asked someone to pack up their things and followed him back to Baiyuan Village.

When Fu Xiuwen learned that Qin Yunxi wanted to move to the village, he agreed.

Living in the house in Baiyuan Village, he always felt that he had wronged his wife and children.

After seeing Zhuangzi's residence, he agreed that his wife and children could move into the manor.

Another reason is that Zhuangzi is located between Baiyuan Village and the academy. If his wife and children move to Zhuangzi, he can return home every day without having to sleep in the simple dormitory in the academy.

“The sandstorm a few days ago blew over from White City.

Originally, we wanted to pick up my great-uncle and the clansmen and return to Baiyuan Village, but this time, the commotion seemed a little too big.

Those who should have focused on us, I don’t know if it’s because we didn’t get any advantage, and the side branches that should have been ignored are constantly in danger...”

Fu Xiuwen sighed and continued, "The remaining people are less than 30%!

We dodged the sandstorm in Baicheng and argued for two days before we finally settled the matter. When we got my great-uncle's household registration, we saw that the weather was bad, so we hurried on our way overnight and arrived at Baiyuan Village just after rain yesterday.

Great-uncle Jin passed away on the road, and the current clan leader is second uncle Rong Chun.

The remains of my great uncle Jin and other clan members have been brought back, and the date for the funeral has been chosen, and it is set for tomorrow. My grandmother asked me to pick you up and send them off."

When Qin Yunxi heard the number 30%, he realized that it was 30% of the total number of casualties rather than 30% of the elderly and children, and his heart became heavy.

After changing into green clothes with her two children, she came out and asked, "Have all the people at home been settled?"

Fu Xiuwen nodded and said, "The men of my Fu family have been practicing martial arts since our ancestors were conferred the title of marquis. Compared to other families that have almost been wiped out, my Fu family has been blessed to have saved nearly 70% of their people this time.

On the way back from Baicheng, my father talked about the house with Uncle Rong Chun, and they had already discussed the distribution of the house on the way.

When we arrived at Baiyuan Village, my grandmother and mother had already asked people to prepare food, and also sent some firewood and rice to each family...

Before the side branches of the families left the imperial capital, the emperor gave rise to a group of officials and aristocratic families.

When my uncle and his men left, no one dared to see them off. The journey was difficult. If it weren’t for my wife’s people sending some money and food along the way, I’m afraid that more than half of the Fu family’s people would have been killed.”

He hesitated for a moment before deciding to confess, and continued, "They spent all their money on the road, in order to prevent the bodies of their deceased tribesmen from being left in the wilderness, and also because my wife left them some money.

The clan leader and his comrades signed an IOU for eight hundred taels of silver with the yamen runners and brought back the bodies of the deceased clan members.

When they arrived at Baicheng, the bones were all laid out by the yamen runners.

As a husband, I used my wife's money without authorization and redeemed them.

I......"

Seeing that he looked apologetic and a little uneasy, and thinking that he had been so rude for a while, Qin Yunxi waved her hand and said, "It's okay, as long as you don't spend your money on those girls out there, you can make the decision on major matters.

After all, it was our Dingyuan Marquis Mansion that implicated them. You can take out another thousand taels and give them to the clan leader later.

But this is the last time. I hope that everyone in our Fu family can be self-reliant in the future."

There was a freezing rain last night, and soon after the rain stopped in the morning, snowflakes began to fall again.

The road was difficult to walk on, and it took them more than an hour to walk a distance that should take half an hour.

If it weren't for that incident, Fu Xiuwen would not have brought his wife and children back at this time.

Fortunately, I arrived home safely without any danger.

As soon as I entered the room, Honglian served me some hot tea and said, "The clan leader and several uncles are all at the old lady's place. Just now, the master sent a little maid to invite the second master. I went over to apologize and said that the second master had gone to pick up the second lady and had not returned yet. The master and several uncles did not say anything either, so it must be nothing serious."

Fu Xiuwen took off his hat and cloak, took another sip of hot tea, and then said to Qin Yunxi, "You and the child stay at home for a while, I'll go over and take a look, and bring the money over."

Qin Yunxi nodded and watched him leave, then listened to Honglian talk about what had happened in the past few days.

According to Honglian, when the Fu clan members arrived at Baiyuan Village, they could only be described as skinny and ragged.

But the Ning family on the opposite side is even worse!

Compared to the disciplined and organized Fu family, the Ning clan members, after several months of baptism, are even more unreasonable and unreasonable than the local shrews.

Seeing that the Fu family had a ready-made house, he wanted to steal it, but of course he was beaten away and thrown out by the Fu family members.

Frightened by being beaten, they went to the Ning family's house and threw a tantrum, demanding that the owner arrange a house like the Fu family's.

The head of the Ning family almost died on the spot due to a heart attack caused by a clan member...
