My life in another world is up to me

The village chief came earlier than Su Ziyi thought.

Before the family of three had finished their breakfast, someone knocked on the courtyard door to call for someone. As soon as Bian Qing heard this, he wanted to get up to greet him, but was stopped by Su Ziyi: "You guys continue to eat, I'll go and see." Bian Qing is not like him He has always been kind to the villagers, but this may not be able to win the good in their hearts, it is better to let himself do this evil.

Bian Qing blinked, understood Su Ziyi's meaning, and stopped pressing.

The village chief who was waiting at the gate of the courtyard did not expect that Su Ziyi would come to answer the door. If Bian Qing came, he could put on airs a little bit so as not to hurt his face too much, but now it is Su Ziyi who came... He choked in his heart , swallowed all the words he had prepared in his mouth, and looked at the man who opened the courtyard door with an extremely complicated expression.

"The village chief came so early, what's the matter?" Su Ziyi didn't say anything polite to let people sit inside, standing at the door, Su Ziyi went straight to the point.

"Is Bian Qing not here?" Looking at Su Ziyi's indifferent face, the village chief felt a little nervous. His eyes went to the courtyard to search for Bian Qing, hoping that Bian Qing would come to ease the atmosphere.

"He and Yulang are still eating, if there is anything urgent, just tell me directly, village chief."

Seeing Su Ziyi's domineering appearance, the village chief understood that this person might not let him in today, he sighed long, stopped smoking, and looked at Su Ziyi pitifully: "Actually, I am I'm here to find you."

"Ok?"

Su Ziyi snorted lightly, making the village head really a little unpredictable what Su Ziyi was thinking, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "I heard that you are on good terms with the town's housekeeper, is this true? "

"It's okay, so-so." Su Ziyi leaned against the courtyard door, looking lazy.

It's okay, that's passable.

The village head felt relieved when he heard this, and the creases on his face folded: "You also know that there are many people in our village who work in the mine, but a lot of things have happened recently, and the mine collapsed yesterday. , was blocked immediately. Everyone in the village is thinking, can this mine still be opened? I think your relationship with Xiangfu is okay, so I would like to trouble you to ask." After finishing speaking, he turned to Su Ziyi smiled.

Regarding Su Ziyi, he was full of complications.

People in the village have only heard about it, but have never had contact with practitioners, so most of their fear of practitioners is born in imagination, and those with a bad temper directly sneer at them.But he was different. He had been to places farther than Shuiyun Town, and had seen with his own eyes how ruthless practitioners tortured and killed ordinary people in the street.

So, after he knew that Su Ziyi was able to go deep into the mountains to hunt monsters, he was more afraid than envious. He was really worried that Su Ziyi would cause trouble in the village.

Fortunately, Su Ziyi didn't.He still went his own way, ignored the villagers, and only dealt with Dr. Li and Li Yu's family.

"That's it?" Hearing what Bian Qing said, there should be more than that, Su Ziyi raised his eyebrows and looked at the village chief.When the village head saw it, he knew that he already knew the truth, and he smiled embarrassingly: "That's it." He rubbed his hands on his clothes nervously.

"Unfortunately, I don't have time for now." Su Ziyi refused without mercy.

And the village head was successfully choked by him.

"This... this..." The village chief was at a loss for Su Ziyi's rejection, and his wrinkled face showed a bit of pity.

"Listen to me, village head." Seeing that the old man was in such a hurry, Su Ziyi explained unprecedentedly: "The Xiang family is not an ordinary family, but a family. Do you understand?" The village head nodded dryly. "Now that you know, I don't need to explain the power of the aristocratic family. The incident in the mine was a big one this time. Not only did the Xiang government attach great importance to it, but even their Qingcheng family sent people here, let alone returned to the mine. With the intervention of the government and the involvement of so many powerful forces, do you think I, a small villager, can speak up?"

When the village chief heard it, his heart suddenly turned cold. He really didn't expect things to be so complicated.

"So what should we do now?" He looked anxious, and patted his head with a fist: "The people in the village have lived a little better because of the mine, but now that the mine is closed, what should everyone do. "

"I don't know about that." Su Ziyi knew very little about the livelihood methods of ordinary people in this world, so he couldn't offer any useful suggestions.

"Hey——" the village chief sighed, his back bent, and his whole body instantly seemed to be ten years older.He looked at Su Ziyi again, seeing that Su Ziyi really wouldn't help him, he had no choice but to hunker down and leave.

"Why, has the village chief left?" Bian Qing felt relieved when he saw Su Ziyi coming in alone, and asked nervously, "You didn't promise the village chief something? You were suddenly promoted to the ninth floor of Qi refining, If you go outside, there will definitely be people who will be suspicious, so you'd better stay at home recently." He was full of concern for Su Ziyi, which made Su Ziyi very useful.

Su Ziyi didn't expect that Bian Qing would want to be with him. He went back to the table and sat down to drink the unfinished porridge. He shook his head and said, "No, I refused."

"That's good." Bian Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's right." Swallowing the last mouthful of porridge, Su Ziyi looked at Bian Qing curiously: "The people in the village are so concerned about the mine, can't they find nothing to do except the mine? That was before there was a mine. How do they make money?" Forgive my predecessor for not paying attention to the villagers, Su Ziyi can only inquire about these things from Bian Qing.

"In the past, basically all I could do was farm and earn food and clothing." Bian Qing hadn't thought about the old days for a long time, and when he was asked about it, he was stunned: "Few people in the village have read books or read characters. Yes, there are very few craftsmen in hand, so you can’t find any work in the town. Even if you are looking for temporary labor, you may not be able to find it, after all, there are too many idlers who work hard.” Bian Qing Those words made Su Ziyi think of the Qiao family father and son who helped their family build a house in the past.

"But our land here is not very fertile. After paying the government's taxes every year, there is nothing left. Every family lives in a tight life." Bian Qing took a breath and relaxed his spirit: "In the mine Before the market opened, it was normal for a piece of clothing to be worn for five or six years. For a large family, it is even a piece of clothing worn by the eldest child to the second child, and then to the third child. Anyway, it has been worn until it can no longer be worn. "Speaking of these things, Bian Qing felt a little bit out of touch, looking at everything in front of him, he couldn't believe that he was living that kind of life more than a year ago.

"Oh, that sounds pretty good." Maybe because he had never experienced it before, Su Ziyi didn't have any fluctuations in his heart. He drank the porridge in the bowl and took Su Yulang to the study to practice calligraphy.

Due to Su Ziyi's strength, in the end, no one in Luoshan Village made trouble in front of the Su family.

However, the village is in chaos.

If there is no mine, the villagers have always been so poor, but now everyone is doing what they do in the mine, and they consciously have some insight, knowing that no matter how tired they are in the field, they will not get much money, so naturally they have more thoughts up.They didn't dare to confront the aristocratic family and the government, so they decided to find another way out and set their sights on the town.

The first person leaves the village and goes to the town, there will be a second person, and a third person.

But Shuiyun Town is just a small town after all, how can there be so many jobs for people to do, let alone the surrounding villagers who are also guarding the town and waiting for jobs.So in the end, except for a few people with a few skills who found work to do, everyone else basically returned without success. If there is no work to do, it means no income, and no income means basically starvation.

Under such circumstances, everyone was suffocating in their stomachs. In addition to improving the crops in the field, they also ran more and more diligently in the town.

In the end, it is not known who got the news from where.I heard that in Mingshui City next door, there is a large-scale mine. What is dug there is not virtual spirit stones, but ordinary ores, but the wages paid are still reasonable, and they are always recruiting people.Therefore, the villagers who heard the news were all tempted. After returning home, they discussed with their family members that they would go to Mingshui City to make money.

It's just such a good thing, but it was opposed by all the old people in the village.

Among them, the village head is the most important.

Faced with their obstruction, the young people must be dissatisfied, and some people even said directly in front of the village head that the village head has a good son who can read and can find a job in the town, so he doesn't worry about his family at all. It's too selfish to eat and use, but never think about how other people live.At first, only one or two people said this statement, but in the end, almost everyone believed it.

This made the village chief's already stooped body bend even more.

The feet grow on people, no matter how much the elders in the village object, the young people still pack up their things and head towards Mingshui City.But before they left, they compromised and promised the village chief that they would rush back to the village before Xie Shanyi.

"Actually, I really want to go too, but Fulang just gave birth, so he really can't do without people." After Li Yu recovered, he was entangled by his mother and second sister-in-law. After he settled the matter completely, Yang Xu was already confinement, so in the end, he brought his husband and the child to Su's house to thank Su Ziyi.

"How far is Mingshui City from here?" In the yard, Su Ziyi was arranging medicinal materials while chatting with Li Yu, while Bian Qing and Yang Xu were chatting about homework in the main room.

"If you walk, it will take about two or three days, but it's actually not too far away." Because Li Yu had already made plans in his heart, he inquired about these things quite clearly: "There are many gold and stones in Mingshui City, and the minerals have always been rich. The surrounding villagers have also been mining for a living, but in recent years the scale of the mine has expanded and more people are needed, so more and more people are recruited from outside."

"Does that make a lot of money?"

"Of course it can't compare to the mines here." Li Yuwei sighed, the things dug are different, and the value is also different, and the wages are also different, and-"Xiangfu is really a good employer, There is a lot of money given, so Mingshui City can't compare to it." When Li Yu said this, Su Ziyi gave him a surprised look. Su Ziyi really didn't expect that Li Yu looked like a big and three rough, but his mind was quite delicate. .

"Although it was just a false alarm this time, Xiang Fu gave us an extra sum of money." Thinking of this, Li Yu smiled: "With this money, even if I don't go to work now, I can still make Fu Lang Have a good two years with your children."

"Then let's live steadily at home first, and wait until the child grows up before going out."

"Ah."

The disappearance of the miners in the mine happened in summer, so within a few months, the grain in the field turned yellow and cooked.This time Bian Qing did not go outside to find someone to harvest the grain, but found a few good friends in the village to harvest the crops in the field, and after these heavy ears of grain turned into bare stubble, this year Xie Shanyi is about to start preparing.

But before this important festival, something went wrong after all.

Originally, those young people who went to Mingshui City had agreed before departure that they would return to Luoshan Village before Xie Shanyi, but seeing that the festival was approaching, not many people came back.Most people have an excuse that the work in the mine is heavy and they cannot ask for leave.And this kind of lame lie can be broken as soon as you hear it. After all, why did the person who came back ask for leave?And the few people who didn't even receive the letter felt even more panicked, for fear that something happened to their own family members in the mine.

"What's the matter!" In the village head's house, an old man who used a wooden stick as a walking stick slammed the ground with the bottom of the wooden stick, hating iron for being weak, and said: "The people who stay in the village now With such a point, how should Xie Shanyi deal with it! These people are too ignorant." And the faces of the other old people were the same as him, with angry looks on their faces.

Xie Shanyi is a custom handed down from the ancestors. It is said that this ceremony protects Luoshan Village from natural and man-made disasters. One thing, diligently continued.

"Doctor Li, what do you think about this matter?" In the end, it was the village head who spoke.

"If there are few people, follow the rules of few people." If Su Ziyi were here, he would be surprised to find that the old people in the village would respect Dr. Li so much that almost everyone regarded him as the master and let him sit on the seat. took the theme. "Xie Shanyi is to judge whether people are sincere or not. As long as the remaining people are still in awe, nothing serious will happen." He picked up the tea bowl and drank half of the cup in one gulp.

"Those who don't come back, most of them are unwilling in their hearts. If they are forced to come back, they will probably complain even more, but they will not get any good in the end."

"That's fine, that's the only way to go." After hearing this, the others glanced at each other, and finally found that there was really no other good way, so they could only follow Dr. Li's method.
