I am not a lucky star through time travel

On the right side of the house is a small road leading to the mountain. There is a lush forest 600 meters behind. .

As for the front of the house... Seeing Lin Qiao staring at the bushes, the village chief said again, "In the past, some villagers opened up wasteland here and planted some beans and other miscellaneous grains, but they were always harmed by wild boars. The wild boar was wounded. Then slowly, it became deserted again."

"How much money does this house cost?" Lin Qiao thought, the house looked really dilapidated, but fortunately it was secluded, and he was not afraid of wild boars and wolves.

The village head Gu stretched out a slap, "Mother Gu Qi said, five taels of silver."

It's not expensive. "Then are the surrounding land and mountains for sale? What price?" The foundation is a bit small, and Lin Qiao wants to build a big house.

Modern house prices are too expensive, he lives in rented houses.Although he can't even afford an apartment, he has always dreamed of having his own house with a yard, of course!The bigger the yard, the better.

The village chief said hurriedly, "These are unowned lands now. If you want to buy them, they cost two taels of silver per mu." He pointed to those slopes that had once been cleared up, but are now overgrown with shrubs.

Then he pointed to the forest full of trees, "These are one tael of silver per mu. However, except for some camphor trees, the rest of the trees are useless and not worth much money."

The village head Gu really wanted Lin Qiao to buy this place, and this was also his selfish desire.Since this young man dared to fight a big tiger, his skills must be extraordinary. With him living here, those wild beasts would not dare to go down the mountain easily, and there would be no more wild beasts to hurt people or harm crops.

Lin Qiao felt that the village chief was kind and honest, he would not just talk about the goodness of this place, but would show all kinds of advantages and disadvantages.

"If you want water, do you have to go to the river outside the village?" From Lin Qiao's point of view, everything else is pretty good, but water is really inconvenient.

The village head Gu pointed to the small road leading to the mountain on the right, "Go up here, and at the fork, there is a small river. But there are often wild animals drinking water by the river. Except for Gu Qi, no one dares to go there. over there."

Lin Qiao looked at the small river again, which was not far from the house. From this point of view, the house was quite suitable for him, so he said, "Major Gu, this house, this land, and this mountain I bought them all."

The village head Gu let out a sigh of relief, and told the two of them that they should ask the yamen servant to come over and measure it first.

For the measurement of the land, Hu Dahui asked Master Bo to arrange someone to come, and Lin Qiao only had to wait to pay.

After finishing the house work, Lin Qiao drove Hu Da back to Anyang County in a mule cart.It is now May, and the weather has become hot. Not long after, he was sweating all over. Seeing that the rice on the side of the road was growing vigorously, he thought, how about buying a few acres of paddy fields and planting some rice?

Within two days, the land and mountains that Lin Qiao wanted to buy had already been measured. There were 34 mu of land and 210 mu of mountains, a total of 270 eight taels of silver, and five taels of ancient Orion's house.

Lin Qiao paid the money, and soon got the land deed and house deed, and spent a few taels of silver to invite the master Bo and the yamen servants to drink.

The house was also cleaned, and the doors, windows and roof were replaced. Although it was still dilapidated, it was barely livable.

He also made a wing room a kitchen, built a new stove, and built a latrine and a livestock shed behind the house.

On this day, Lin Qiao moved the pots, pans, pans and other items bought in the county to the kitchen, and was tidying up, when someone shouted outside the yard, "Is Mr. Lin at home?"

What the hell is Mr. Lin?This made Lin Qiao think of the official Ximen wearing a big red flower.

Shaking the goose bumps on his body, Lin Qiao walked into the yard, and saw a few people standing at the gate of the yard, carrying a bed.

An old man stepped forward and said, "This is a bed for Mr. Lin."

Lin Qiao patted the ashes on his body and let people in.

The bed is very nice, made of fir wood, painted with tung oil, the color is good, but the smell is a bit heavy.

Several people carried the bed into the east room of the main house, and the old man said, "The slope is a bit steep, and the bullock cart can't get up. The cabinets, tables, and chairs are still on the bullock cart."

Lin Qiao also felt that the way up was a bit steep, not only steep, but also broken.

After everything was packed, he took a jug of wine and a piece of bacon to the head of the ancient village.

Lin Qiao often came here recently, seeing him, the old wife of the village chief took the wine and meat, and happily went to work.

After drinking tea, Lin Qiao talked to the village chief about building roads and houses.

The village head Gu stroked his beard and sighed, "Nowadays, there are not many strong laborers in the village, and they are still busy with the work in the fields. For road repairs, women are enough. They also have to carry the burden of hoeing on weekdays, and their strength is still high." Yes. As for wages, each person is given ten copper coins a day, not including food."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Lin Qiao again, "If you can trust the old man, I will ask the old man to find you. I guarantee that there will be no one who steals and cheats."

This is of course the best way. Lin Qiao just arrived here, and he was afraid that the villagers would bully him as an outsider and not work well.

Thinking that he would live in Qushui Village in the future, he wanted to do something for the village, so he proposed to repair the whole road from the entrance of the village to his house.

Of course the village chief is willing to do such a good thing, and said with a smile, "The road in the field should be well repaired. On weekdays, the villagers have to take that road when they go to work in the field. There are ditches on both sides of the road. It doesn't matter if the road is widened a bit, it will be much more convenient to run mule carts and ox carts in the future."

That's exactly what Lin Qiao meant. The road was too narrow for cars to pass. His mule cart could only stop in the village every time, and he only led the mules up the mountain.

The village head Gu also talked about where to buy sand and gravel. "There is a quarry in Daxing Village ten miles away. You can buy stone slabs for road construction there."

In the end, the two agreed that the village head Gu was responsible for finding someone to build the road, and his eldest son Gu Hai took Lin Qiao to the quarry to buy sand and gravel.

Gu Hai is in his forties, with dark skin, not tall, but very strong.There was nothing to do on the road, and the two chatted a few words from time to time.

In the past few years, there have been several conscriptions. The village chief's family has no division, and there are many males.The money for Ding was paid only once. In the first year of conscription, 30 taels of silver was paid for Ding in the family.

I didn't expect that in the second year of conscription, no matter whether I had a Ding or a silver in the past, I would have to go out again.At this time, there was really no more money for Ding Ding, so the brothers had to draw lots, and finally the third child caught it.

By the third conscription, the eldest son of the grandchildren, that is, Gu Hai's eldest son, got the lottery.

Gu Hai looked distressed. After the eldest son left, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cried every day. Fortunately, there were grandchildren by their side, chatting for comfort.

It's hard for Lin Qiao to say anything. Emperor Wen was not a faint king, and the conscription was also to fight against the Khitan's southern invasion.It's just that the war is unfavorable now, and I don't know when it will end.

The quarry mentioned by the village chief does not belong to Daxing Village, but is run by the government. The workers are usually prisoners who committed crimes, and there are also slaves who cannot be sold.

The person who received Lin Qiao and the others was a small steward. Although his attitude was not kind, he was not arrogant.After the two had finalized the type and quantity of sand and gravel, it happened that the quarryman was taking a break from work for a meal.

Several women with tattoos on their foreheads carried baskets of food to the field, one of them accidentally let go, the basket fell to the ground, and the vegetable balls rolled all over the floor.

A man with the appearance of a supervisor came over, whipped the woman, and cursed, "You idiot, don't you want to live?"

The woman was beaten to the ground, and although tears were streaming down her face, she did not cry out.

Looking at the silently weeping woman, Lin Qiao thought of Brother Zhuzi for a moment, and thought of the yamen servant who whipped him.

Seeing the woman lying on the ground and unable to get up, the supervisor kicked her waist.With this kick, even Lin Qiao felt pain in his waist, but the woman still wept in a low voice and did not howl.

After looking at it for a while, Lin Qiao felt that this woman was a little familiar, but she couldn't think of who it was.

Who is it, who is it?

is her!When turning around, Lin Qiao suddenly remembered that this woman was the Liu family from Tiger Village!

Liu was in so much pain that she couldn't get up, the supervisor kept beating her.

Lin Qiao went back to the little steward's room, and said to the man, "My lord, I have something to ask."

After hearing his request, the little steward went out and scolded the supervisor, and then said to Lin Qiao, "I can't decide this matter, I'll ask the supervisor."

Lin Qiao hurriedly stuffed a silver ingot of five taels into the sleeve of the little steward.

The little steward didn't refuse, gathered up his sleeves and went out.

Lin Qiao didn't find it strange that Mrs. Liu would be here. During this period of time, she was hanging out with Hu Da, and often heard them talking about Zhizhou's suppression of Tiger Village.

A woman like Liu is just a handyman in Tiger Village. Even if her man is the accountant in the village, he is not the main culprit. She should not be given a heavy sentence. It is reasonable to punish her to work as a coolie in the quarry. .

The little steward came back quickly, showing a troubled look, "The supervisor said that this woman is a prisoner in the Tiger's Village, and I can't let it go easily..."

Seeing that Lin Qiao's face didn't change, he continued, "However, since she's dead now, let's take 50 taels back and bury her!"

50 taels?Eight taels can buy a pretty maid.Lin Qiao sighed inwardly, there was no way, why did he want to save her!

Lin Qiao and Gu Hai waited in the back mountain for half a day, until the sun went down, and saw a black-faced man carrying a roll of quilts coming over. Seeing Lin Qiao, the man didn't speak, just threw the quilt into the carriage and left .

Gu Hai was not curious when he saw it, but just drove the mule cart to Qushui Village without saying a word.

The two of them had nothing to say all the way, and when they arrived at Qushui Village, it was already dark, with only the faint moonlight remaining.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Gu Hai parked the car and helped Lin Qiao unload the carriage, then picked up the quilt and put it on the mule's back, tugged at Lin Qiao's sleeve and said, "It's too dark, follow me."

Lin Qiao followed Gu Hai who was leading the mule.Because of his supernatural ability, he could feel the way even without Gu Hai leading him, but such Gu Hai made him feel at ease.

Just like his father, he doesn't talk much and is often away from home, but the things he does always give him a sense of security.

Going back to the yard on the mountainside, Gu Hai helped put away his things and was about to leave.Lin Qiao ran to the kitchen, quickly took out a glutinous rice chicken from the space, then ran to the yard, caught up with Gu Hai, and forced the glutinous rice chicken to him.

The two went out for a day and only ate a few buns.In order to save money on fuel lamps, people in the countryside eat dinner before dark, and now that it's all ordered, Lin Qiao is really embarrassed to let Gu Hai go back on an empty stomach.

Gu Hai didn't refuse, and left with the glutinous rice chicken.
