Doomsday Farmhouse Tour

Chapter 73 The Village

After breakfast on the second day, Lu Xiao took his three children to the back mountain.Mu An is still young but just joining in the fun, teaching Xiu Ming and Xiu Yan is the real thing.

Xiuming and Xiuyan brothers have grown up, and now they can slowly get in touch with some big and small things of the Lu family.Lu Xiao knew the characters of the two of them very well, and they had always trusted and loved them very much.He also has high hopes for it, and he doesn't know where he will go in the end.No matter what, he will take good care of his family.

The mountains and forests in the early morning seem to have just been awakened, and they are all white.Fine work such as making □□ has stopped, not to mention that the fingers are not flexible in this weather, even the ore cannot be mined.This is a harsh environment with limited protection measures.It's just when the weather is better, but now few can handle it... Digging for ore is really hard work.

"Xiu Ming and Xiu Yan, you can't tell anyone what you saw today. Can you promise father?" Lu Xiao guided his child patiently, without the slightest hint of a joke in his expression.It can be seen that the person in front of him is very serious.Xiu Ming and Xiu Yan are very sensible children, and they nodded repeatedly when they heard this.Lu Xiao rubbed the two children's hair in satisfaction...

"Do you remember that although this thing is powerful, it is against the harmony of heaven and kills too much... don't use it lightly." Lu Xiao pulled Xiu Ming and Xiu Yan, and Mu An also held Chang An's hand.Walking in the snow with a small body, one foot deep and the other shallow, it looks like a little penguin.The hands subconsciously raised, looking extraordinarily cute.

Although Lu Xiao loved and cared for his children very much, he would never spoil them.Now Mu An has grown quite strong, and he has never stopped exercising on weekdays.Thinking about the things that Lu Yuan grew up to do after being pampered, if one day his own children did the same, he would have to do it himself.Regardless of what others think, he can't afford to lose this person.

It's a long way to go, for now, the children are still extremely worry-free.Xiuming and Xiuyan are all children who have lived a hard life, and have tasted the warmth and coldness of the world.Now that the xinxing has been established, naturally there is no need to worry too much.As for Mu An, he could only take care of him and guide him carefully.

A few people followed Lu Xiao into the depths of the back mountain, and they could see more than a dozen wooden houses under the shade of trees.The materials for the construction of the wooden house were all obtained from other hills, and the existing trees were not cut down.Now when I take a quick look, I just think that someone has taken refuge in the back mountain, especially if they are doing something that no one understands, and no one will come all the way to inquire.

There are also quite a few people patrolling back and forth, all dressed as ordinary farmers.It's not like patrolling, it's more like a person who is forced to try his luck out of livelihood.This is a camouflage made by Shi Lei, although it is not used on weekdays... it is better to be cautious.

"Little stones are so big, they can help you in a few years." Lu Xiao originally intended to send people to the county to study, and Shi Lei also had this idea.It's just that the child who was found was obviously very clingy, Shi Lei felt ashamed in his heart and naturally obeyed everything.This matter will be dropped in the end... Besides, Shi Lei is not afraid that the child will not be taught by anyone in the future because of his martial arts skills.

"In addition to learning these martial arts, boys still need to be able to read and write. Since they don't want to go to the county town, naturally they can't go to the teacher's place with everyone. In the future, they have to work hard..." Changan picked out a lot of books for Shi Lei's children , in addition to the basics, there are also some rare military books.In today's troubled times, there is no one who carefully maintains these books. It is very rare to find intact and undamaged ones.

Although there are quite a few bookstores in the county, the books inside were either damaged or torn during the beast horde, or they were eaten away by bugs after so long.In addition, the summer is hot and dry, and the winter is rainy and snowy.Few of them can be preserved completely. Although books are not something that the public urgently needs at present, for Shi Lei and his children who can eat and drink well, such a gift is not light.Such years will always pass, what matters is what happens next.

Naturally, Shi Lei appreciated the gift from Chang'an, and Lu Xiao promised that he could find a dutiful and well-educated person from among the refugees who would come to seek refuge in the future to be his teacher.He was naturally happier, not only for his own child, but also for the brothers who followed him in the back mountain.In addition to those who already have children, there are quite a few married people this year... maybe someday there will be a newcomer.

"Nowadays there are a lot of newlyweds in the village, and we still can't relax when we patrol around the mountains. Now there are more and more people, this is responsible for ourselves and others." Lu Xiao and Shi Lei have always spoken softly, and it is also because he is honest and not kind. words.For such a person, it is not good to speak harshly.It's not as good as it can win people's hearts.

"Yes, I have reminded the brothers not to be too loose. Now that they are married, they will only work harder if they are gone." Shi Lei knew what Lu Xiao meant, and Tang Wei's arrival meant that King Xiangyang had actually discovered them.It's just that he hasn't really freed up his hands to investigate, and now Tang Wei has not returned... He must send someone to investigate along the way.Although Houshan is secretive, it is not infallible, so you can't be careless.

"I believe you can distinguish between the important and the important, but a few new couples need to be taken care of. If someone adds a child to the family, no matter what gender it is, let me know. I will get you some tea from the county to boil goat milk..." Lu Xiao said this Can't help thinking of Qingyan who stayed at home because of her young age, her eyes revealed a touch of tenderness.That touch of tenderness moved Shi Lei's heart slightly.The people in front of them are real, let them take it to heart, otherwise, how could they think of such a distant thing.Even if he thought he cared about the children very much, he didn't think so far, after all, the wedding was just over.

"Living in troubled times is not an easy task. Many adults can't bear it, let alone these children. Newborn babies are always more vulnerable, regardless of other people's attitudes...I hope they live well." Lu What Xiao said was not to win over Shi Lei, but his own thoughts. You must know that the continuation of human civilization is ultimately reproduction.He privately said that without these newborn lives, wouldn't Mu An become a polished commander when he grows up.

"Give more charcoal to those families with children. Don't worry too much. If the temperature suddenly drops...it will be too late to cry." There is a precedent for what Lu Xiao said, isn't that how Lu Yuan died?Just because there was no charcoal basin, the body was cold the next day after cooling down overnight.Whether it is an honest farmer or a refugee who has suffered from various displacements, he can't help being frugal again and again.I'm afraid of any accidents... It's normal, if there are children at home... It's okay for adults to resist, children don't have such a body.

Shi Lei naturally knew how Lu Yuan died, even though he didn't like Lu Yuan, he didn't feel very sad because of his death.It's just that now that I think about it, I still feel a little embarrassed, and I feel that what Lu Xiao said is right.If the carbon fire food is a big deal, then run farther and try to find a way, but if people are gone, they will really be gone.

After talking about this, Shi Lei also thought of other things, mainly about the ore.No matter how much ore there is in the mountains, we can't help digging around the clock.What's more, the back mountain still needs people to live and trees to cover it, so naturally we can't dig too deep.Now that I can persist, it is time to consider stopping after a while.

"Just sticking to this one village is still a bit small, I've also visited other villages." Shi Lei said that he had inquired about it, other villages might be as lucky as Lujia Village.Some have been ruined by bandits before, some have been controlled by refugees, and those that are a little better will inevitably be affected.If Lu Xiao wants to accept, there is still room for discussion if he wants to control Houshan.

What Shi Lei said really interested Lu Xiao, as more and more people were taken in, the consumption of food and drink would increase.If the surrounding villages can be included, it will naturally solve some problems such as less land and more people, such as insufficient eyeliner development.Now there are not many remaining villages and most of them are not fully populated, so there is also a lot of vacant land.

People who have been with him for a long time, who are honest and have some skills, will be arranged into the new village.The untended land can also be put to good use, alleviating the problem of increasing food consumption.Thinking about it this way is really once and for all.Naturally, he couldn't be more satisfied with this matter.

"In this case, you should go and have a look. Let Shuhe go with you after you understand the situation. He has fame and fame, so he wants to talk better..." Lu Xiao knew that the villages at this time were relatively xenophobic, and even a couple When quarreling, the villagers also help their relatives and don't help them.What's more, it's a little difficult to accept so many strangers at once.He was more concerned about the villages that had been invaded by bandits and beast hordes.Although it has been deserted for more than half a year, everything else is still there.As long as the people sent are reliable and capable, rebuilding a village is still very cost-effective.

As long as this matter is successful, it can slowly spread outward with the county seat as the core.Slowly gather the surrounding villages, even if someone comes in the future, they will be able to form an encirclement.With the addition of ballistas and guns, those who dare to come will regret it.

After talking about these things, Lu Xiao went to the kitchen.Things were distributed according to Lu Xiao's request, Shi Lei is a very honest and honest person, so naturally he would not make such a move as deducting rations in this kind of place.Lu Xiao just looked at it more casually, and didn't think there was really a problem.

"Have you looked at these things? You must store them carefully, and don't use open flames when transporting them..." Lu Xiao told Xiu Ming and Xiuyan about the various transportation conditions of the sex, in order to make them feel awe.Don't cause irreversible consequences because of carelessness, it will be too late to say anything.

...

The issue of merging the villages proposed by Shi Lei has been supported by everyone, but the difficulty lies in who is in charge of contacting them.This person must not only be loyal, but also clever and able to cover up, otherwise it would be very dangerous to be exposed to the enemy in advance.At this time, Lu Xiao felt more and more that he had few people in his hand.

"Not to mention the need for negotiation, those villages with barren land and almost no people still have to occupy a place in advance. Once the new year is over, and the ice and snow melt, I am afraid that a group of refugees will come. They must have ideas for such villages." Tang Only wandering around outside, he knows the outside situation best.He believed that it would not be difficult to rebuild a village that had been washed away by wild beasts, so they were definitely not the only ones who had ideas.Which wandering person doesn't want a stable life...

"Since we're talking about these villages, I have an idea. It would be too eye-catching to send someone directly from the county seat. People around will inevitably say it intentionally or unintentionally. It's better for the two of them to arrange to enter the back mountain for the time being and wait until the time is right. When he pretended to be a refugee and entered the village..." Liu Shuhe couldn't help but pause when he said this, obviously he had a good idea. "At that time, we will cooperate with each other to act out a bribery scene. I don't think anyone will delve into the identity of these refugees..."

"That's great, but who should be assigned to manage the village?" Ling Jun's subordinates are first-class fighters in fighting, but they are a bit powerless when it comes to management.Most of Liu Shuhe's people are for intelligence and most of them are hidden in the dark, which is not suitable. Wei Xun intends to recommend his children but is worried that if they are exposed... All in all, this is a rather risky thing.Each had their own considerations, and in the end it was Lu Xiao's direct name.People naturally have nothing to say...

The village that was washed away by the beast tide was located to the east, the closest to the county seat.Lu Xiao chose the first batch of old people who followed him. They were called Fugui with a very happy name.This person has been under Lu Jing for many years, and he has always been sincere. He is very grateful to Lu Jing and Lu Xiao.Relatively speaking, I am quite at ease... This village was named Dongsheng Village by Lu Xiao.

The village located in the south is very close to Lujia Village, and it has not escaped the bandit attack after all.Like Lujia Village, more women who survived were ruined.Therefore, in order not to irritate these people, Lu Xiao chose Xing Ying's vice-captain Qingrou as the manager.With a gentle and tough temperament and a courage that does not belong to a man, coupled with the same experience, it is naturally easier to integrate into the new environment.The name is also a continuation of the previous name, Linshui Village.

The last village is behind the county seat, and what is needed are people who are good at acting and know how to advance and retreat.At present, only Tang Wei's subordinate Duan Ping is the most suitable, and Lu Xiao did not hesitate.Now that Tang Wei and his subordinates are accepted, it is natural to treat them equally.Besides, if Tang Wei can't be calmed down, it's his incompetence that he can't give full play to his talents.

Naturally, everyone was very satisfied with such an arrangement.This is how Lu Xiao always handles things, even if he has reservations about some people, it doesn't mean that he doesn't use low-level methods in things.This is why Tang Wei is increasingly convinced of him, as long as no one stabs him in the back.It couldn't be any better for him...

...

The affairs of the village are basically explained, and the matter of comforting the ancestors is left to the third uncle.As long as there is a need, Lu Xiao will come naturally, and other times he is more with his wife and children.It seems that no matter how long you don't go out, you won't feel too much. In modern terms, it's a house.

Lu Xiao was an extremely homebound person in his previous life, and basically seldom went out for non-essential socializing.It's still the same now here, but there are so many big and small things on weekdays, it's just not obvious.It's rare to be free, and the house attributes are also fully exposed.

Compared to Lu Xiao's calmness, Lu's father was as busy as a spinning top.Lu Mo was also very excited, looking and looking at the dress that he was going to use that day.If it weren't for the tailoring skills of the Lu family, the tailoring would fit perfectly.I'm afraid that Lu Mo is going to do it by himself, even if he doesn't do it now, he still has to watch carefully.See if those are true or false...

In fact, the clothes are only used this time, but the old people always take family matters very seriously.Lu Xiao can only be happy with the old people, but there is no embarrassment if he cooperates.What's more... Chang An also seemed to be very concerned.The heart of the man who looked with pride in his eyes is soft...

"Don't look at it again, you won't be able to change two..." Lu Xiao let the children go out to play, and put his arms around their waists.The body approached naturally, and Chang An did not refuse this time.She leaned her head directly against the person, looking extraordinarily gentle.

The third uncle and the others were busy, and finally finished it two days ago.Just waiting for the sacrifice of livestock wine and water tomorrow, many stewed vegetables for the banquet have been prepared in advance.This time, not only those from Lujia Village, but also all the acquaintances from the surrounding villages were invited.

The old people's intention was naturally to gain face, while Lu Xiao wanted to give these people a shock.As long as their minds waver and they doubt their own future, they will have bargaining chips!Everyone wants to live a good life, it is human nature.For this reason, Lu Xiao also specifically asked the cook not to hold back, and the more delicious the cooking, the better.Of course, the material has been cut out, so there is no need for people to worry about it every day.

The old people's original intention was to make a big deal, after all, in their eyes, this matter is a big deal!After listening to Lu Xiao's words, he reluctantly agreed. After all, the incident of banditry is still vivid in his mind.It's time to hide some clumsiness, don't make people jealous in such a world.

Although the old people are not as well-informed as Lu Xiao, they can more or less guess.When there was a war in previous years, every household had to donate food.Not only that, men have to go to military service, how many people just go and never come back?Although the old people don't talk about these things, they don't know which ones.

Although there is no large-scale war now, it is hard to guarantee that some people will want to dig some food out of their hands in this year.The guests at these banquets are nothing, but if someone speaks out loudly...Wouldn't it be annoying to spread it to the ears of those who care?That being the case, it would be better to follow Lu Xiao's idea.For the safety of future generations, the ancestors can understand this banquet is a little simple.

The main dish for Lu Xiao's banquet this time is mushrooms, which can be grown in all seasons as long as there are strains.Lu Xiao also planned that as long as those people were willing to accept the merger, he would give them the method of growing mushrooms and give them some strains for free.This is undoubtedly extremely attractive to villages that are already falling apart and struggling to support.

...

The day of the sacrifice came soon, and indeed many guests came.It's just that the complexion is not very good. This kind of world has crushed the backs of many people.The village chief in his impression who was quite open-minded and cheerful couldn't hide the sadness on his face, but he managed to squeeze out some smiles on such a day.

Seeing that Lujia Village was able to hold a banquet, he couldn't help being a little shocked.Naturally, they would not tell old people like the third uncle if they were inquiring, and Liu Shuhe, Lu Xiao's brother-in-law, became the best inquirer.There are also people who want to ask Lu Zhe, but Lu Zhe always answers all questions... The more honest the answer, the more unbelievable it is.

"It's a coincidence that my brother-in-law has been cooperating with Wei Xun at that time. Those chickens and ducks were raised for him..." Lu Xiao said that Wei Xun is a celebrity, and everyone knows that Lu's father cooperated with him, so it is not true. No doubt.Liu Shuhe didn't know that Lu Xiao could predict the future, he always thought it was a coincidence.

When the guests heard Liu Shuhe's explanation, they couldn't help but secretly sighed that Lu Xiao was lucky. He originally just wanted to save money to buy chicklings, but unexpectedly it became the basis of today's large-scale breeding.Although these people are a little jealous, they also know that this matter cannot be imitated.And since the troubled times came, it was rare to have a chance to have a big meal, but they changed the topic tacitly after a while.Only some shrewd people seem to have some thoughts if they look at Lu Xiao indifferently.
