I thought the poor guys were the big guys

Siqing and the others would go down the mountain from time to time on weekdays, so the people of Elongshan didn't pay much attention to Siqing's sudden departure.In order to live in a new house as soon as possible, everyone is doing their best.Several masters who know carpentry worked overtime to finally make the doors and windows of a new house and install them.

Looking at the spacious courtyard and the bright and solid brick building, everyone couldn't help showing a smile on their faces.Standing on the edge, Lin Ange looked at the expressions on everyone's faces, and felt sore and swollen in his heart, a sense of satisfaction and pride that he had never felt before.At the same time, Dashi, who was suppressed in the deepest part of his heart, also quietly disappeared.

Ever since he agreed to Pofeng and tried to burn paper bricks, Lin Ange's heart has been on hold.Although the successful firing of the bricks relieved the pressure on his shoulders, the house was not built. For him, the task was only half completed.

Fortunately, through everyone's joint efforts, the first house was finally completed, and it was only time before the plan on the drawing was completed.

Everyone in Elongshan is already familiar with all kinds of work in the brick kiln, and there is nothing for him to worry about.He didn't need his help in the work of building walls and building houses.Lin Ange, who was suddenly idle, couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, but after seeing the people who came back from transporting food, he instantly had a direction.

Pofeng looked at Lin Ange whose eyes suddenly lit up, and couldn't help being curious for a moment.However, before he could ask, the excited Lin Ange found a hoe from a corner and ran out.

Seeing this, Po Feng hurriedly stepped forward and followed a few steps and asked, "It's quite sunny outside, where are you going with a hoe?"

Lin Ange originally saw that the sun was shining brightly and didn't want to disturb Pofeng, but he didn't expect that he would be seen by the other party as soon as he went out.

"After seeing Da Liu who came back carrying grain just now, I remembered it. When we have nothing to do, we can open up wasteland and grow grain ourselves. When the time comes, we will have stored grain, and everyone will not have to work so hard."

Hearing this, Pofeng's heart softened, and he asked softly: "You can just tell me about this kind of thing. There are so many people on the mountain who want to eat, and you only need to open up wasteland by yourself. When will you go?"

"I have nothing to do now, so I'll go check out the nearby wasteland and see where it's more suitable for farmland."

After hearing Lin Ange's plan, Pofeng nodded and took a bamboo hat from the shack and put it on Lin Ange's head.Carefully helped him tidy up, then raised his chin to signal that he would go with him.

Lin Ange knew that he couldn't hold back Pofeng, so he couldn't help but shook his head helplessly, reached out and took Pofeng's hand and walked out together.

Everyone on the mountain was well aware of the relationship between the two, but the two did not reveal it to others, and no one mentioned it.Seeing the two passing by holding hands, the busy people did not show the same expression, but instead smiled kindly.

Lin Ange also thought that the acceptance of the people on the mountain was so high, the imaginary dissuasion and disgust did not appear, but instead received a lot of well-intentioned ridicule.Lin Ange and Pofeng also felt emotionally in private once, knowing that everyone really accepted their relationship from the bottom of their hearts, Lin Ange and Pofeng were not as scrupulous in front of people as they used to be.

The only one who is somewhat unacceptable is Wanqixing.

Ever since he knew the relationship between Pofeng and Lin Ange, Wan Chengxing's expression on Lin Ange's face was a little distorted.Pofeng was worried that he would not be able to accept it, so he deliberately found an opportunity to talk to him with Lin Ange.

Seeing the folded hands of Pofeng and Lin Ange, Wan Chengxing frowned, his expression looked like a dead mouse stuck in his throat.

The three of them sat facing each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

After an unknown amount of time, before Lin Ange could speak, Pofeng who was beside him suddenly let out a long sigh.Let go of Lin Ange's palm, get up and come to Wan Chengxing.Under Wan Chengxing's surprised eyes, Pofeng squatted down, put his right hand on top of his head, and said softly: "A Xing, you..."

Wan Chengxing looked at the elder brother who brought him up single-handedly in front of him, and seeing the anxiety in his eyes, he couldn't help feeling a burst of sadness in his heart.

"Brother, you and Lin Ange are so mean, you didn't tell me about such an important matter first." Speaking of this, Wan Qixing's tone was full of grievances, and even the circles of his eyes were a little red.

Seeing Wan Qixing like this, Po Feng felt even more guilty.Just as he was about to answer his question, Wan Qixing wiped his face heavily with his hand, and took advantage of the situation to pull Pofeng's big hand on his head.

"Forget it, you're all together now, so there's no point in asking this question." As he said that, Wan Qixing rolled his eyes, his eyes swept over Lin Ange, and a sly smile flashed in his Danfeng eyes.

Seeing his expression, Lin Ange suddenly felt a chill, and then heard Wan Chengxing's tone with a smile, and asked, "Then, you two are together, who should I call sister-in-law?"

After Wan Chengxing's voice fell, Lin Ange almost choked on his own saliva.And Pofeng in front of him was even more bloody, from his forehead to his heels.

Looking at the expressions of the two, Wan Chengxing seemed to understand something for a moment.The smile on his face slowly faded, he pointed at Lin Ange, and then pointed at his elder brother who was blushing and thick-necked in front of him, seemingly in disbelief for a moment.

"You, you, brother, you won't..."

Seeing that Wan Qixing wanted to pick it out directly, Lin Ange was afraid that Pofeng would become angry from embarrassment.He hurriedly stepped forward and covered Wan Chengxing's mouth, and said with a smile: "What about you, what about me? Why do children care so much, why don't they just call you big brother? Do you still want to play with Xiao Siyuan? Mud, if you have nothing to do, go quickly."

Lin Ange covered Wan Chengxing's mouth, and dragged him away from Pofeng.

After Wan Qixing was sent away, Lin Ange returned to the shack and looked at Pofeng, whose face was still red, Lin Ange covered his mouth and coughed.

"Well, the fourth master is just joking, in your heart..."

"I know." Before Lin Ange could finish speaking, Pofeng looked up at him. "I don't mind it in my heart, but I just think that they have been here for a few days. Elong Mountain is not in any danger recently, and it's time for the second brother and the others to go back."

Lin Ange's eyes widened when he heard Pofeng's understatement. He imagined Wan Qixing being brought back to Elong Mountain by the cold-faced Mo Chenyang in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of gloom.

"Well, it's time to go back. It just so happens that I will go back once, and bring the chickens and ducks I raised here to raise."

The two of them sent Wanqixing back to Elongshan in an understatement.

On the way back, Lin Ange looked at Wan Chengxing, who had a mournful face, and Lin Ange stepped forward to comfort him with a sad face.But Wan Qixing, who was in a fit of anger, didn't appreciate it very much.Lin Ange didn't mind about this. After all, the environment has too much influence on a person, and Wan Qixing is still such a young child, so the long-term influence of hearing and seeing is still quite big for him.For his physical and mental health, Lin Ange sincerely felt that sending Wan Qixing back was really for his own good!

……

Under the scorching sun, Lin Ange and Pofeng came to the nearby wasteland.Looking at the endless green grass, the two couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.There are no trees nearby or a shady place to block the sun. Looking at Lin Ange's face flushed from the heat, he walked a hundred meters through the wind and found a small stream.

Raising their voices to signal Lin Ange to come over, the two of them washed their faces by the stream and finally relieved a little of the heat.

"How about it, is it okay here?"

Pofeng didn't know anything about land reclamation, so he could only ask Lin Ange about everything.

"I just dug a few times with a hoe. The fertile land in this wasteland is indeed suitable for farming. However, it will take a lot of work to clean up this weed."

The new site is surrounded by mountains, green trees, flat terrain in the middle, and fertile land, which is a rare geomantic treasure.And the wasteland they chose to reclaim has fertile soil and flat ground. As long as the weeds on it are cleaned up, there is no need to worry about farming at all.

Moreover, there is a small stream flowing in the middle of this wasteland. The two followed the water and found that the source of the small stream was the nearby mountains.In this way, there is no need to worry about the lack of water when the crops are dry.Unless it is extremely dry weather, the melted snow in the mountains and the spring water in the mountain streams are enough to irrigate this farmland.

The two found a shaded place at the foot of the mountain and sat down. Looking at the endless wasteland in front of them, they couldn't help feeling relieved.Pofeng washed the wild fruit found in the forest and handed it to Lin Ange, and the two took a bite each.

"When everyone is free, clean up the grass. Trimming the wasteland before the cold dew can catch up with planting a crop of winter wheat. As long as we manage it properly, we will be able to eat white flour steamed buns by next summer. "

"Now that everyone is busy building houses, it may not be easy to renovate all of this vacant land."

Hearing this, Lin Ange nodded involuntarily, and spoke out his plan.

"Everyone is looking forward to living in a new house. Naturally, the house cannot stop working. However, there are still ten or twenty elderly people at the foot of the mountain. Although they cannot do heavy physical work such as breaking bricks and adobes, pulling weeds and turning the ground should be done. It’s still possible. And this move is also for the sake of their livelihood, I think most people should not refuse.”

Hearing Lin Ange's words, Pofeng couldn't help being stunned.

Seeing him like this, Lin Ange ate the wild fruit in one bite, and washed the juice off his hands in the stream.

"Since we are going to move everyone here later, we might as well take advantage of it now. And the new site is just when we need manpower. Let them move here to get familiar with the environment here, and then help everyone do what they can. There is no need to leave so many people on the mountainside to look after them."

Pofeng knew that Lin Ange's suggestion was feasible, so he nodded.

"However, there are still warnings on the mountainside. If someone breaks into the mountain, someone needs to give us a warning."

"Of course there are, but we can let these vigilant people go to the dark place."

Although the roads in the "relocation house" on the mountainside of Elong Mountain are criss-crossed and rugged, it is not difficult to find as long as you have the heart.Moreover, there were many people who lived there before, and the houses had already reached a certain scale. No matter how stupid the people in the government were, they could still find something.

Originally, Lin Ange thought that there was a shortage of various supplies at the new site, so when these people were moved to the new site, they brought all the utensils they could use.Houses were demolished as far as possible, leaving no traces as much as possible.But after thinking about it, I found that this is not feasible.

Everything in the world will leave traces.If you bring all the things in the 'resettlement' without falling, then you don't need to think about it, you must know that they must have been moved to other places.The people in the court are likely to send a large group of people to search the mountain immediately, so it is better to use those things left behind as a camouflage.

Lin Ange just mentioned what was in his heart, and Pofeng immediately understood his plan.Po Feng frowned and thought for a while, and felt that although Lin Ange's plan seemed feasible, it had many flaws.But how to do it in detail can only be determined after specific discussions.However, it is a feasible strategy for Lin Ange to use those slightly older people to reclaim wasteland.

"We'll talk about this matter when we go back and discuss it. We'd better go back and talk about it first."

At this time, the sun was setting and it was the hottest time of the day. Lin Ange wiped the sweat off his face, nodded, got up and walked back together with Pofeng.

……

Lin Ange's plan to reclaim the wasteland was unanimously approved by everyone. Seeing that everyone was like this, Pofeng sent Liu, Li Yi and others down the mountain to meet the nearly twenty old and weak women and children in the 'resettlement center' on the mountainside.

In order for them to have a stable and comfortable residence after they came, Lin Ange brought a few people to tidy up the first set of built yards.I also learned to make more than a dozen simple wooden beds with a master who can work with carpentry. After all, the water vapor in the mountains is heavy. If people like them are allowed to sleep on the ground, it will definitely cause some damage to the body after a long time.

After everything was tidied up, Da Liu, Li Yi and others also came back with their people.Everyone looked at the scene in front of them and stood there in a daze, and some people's eyes were even a little red.

Pofeng and Lin Ange looked at each other, and stepped forward together.In the eyes of these people, Pofeng is not only their leader, but also a savior who gives them a place to live and food to eat.If it wasn't for the broken wind that brought them up the mountain, I'm afraid they would have already turned into a handful of loess.

They thought that building a brick house in the mountains was just a talk, and they still thought so the moment before Liu and the third family took them to the new site.However, everyone couldn't believe their eyes when they saw the rows of walls that had just been built.It wasn't until this time that they dared to believe that the previous words of the big master and the others were not just empty words.It turns out that they can really live in a brick house in this life, they can still eat enough, wear warm clothes, and don't have to worry about being weighed down by layers of taxes...

"Boss, thank you, thank you." Uncle Zhang who took the lead looked at Pofeng in front of him, a pair of rough thugs held Pofeng's hand tightly, his voice choked up, and his whole body was trembling slightly.

"Uncle Zhang is too polite. Everything today is due to everyone's hard work. Besides, I have something to do for my third brother and Liu to invite you over. Don't blame us, Uncle Zhang."

On the way here, Liu had already explained to everyone what he was about to do, and when he heard Pofeng's words, Uncle Zhang waved his hands quickly.

"Don't be too polite, big boss. Don't look at us as old people. We still have a lot of strength in our bodies. Let alone pulling weeds to open up wasteland, even breaking bricks with Liu and the others, and burning bricks is also dry. from here."

Uncle Zhang's voice fell, and a group of people behind him nodded in agreement.

Seeing everyone like this, Pofeng involuntarily turned his eyes to Lin Ange who was beside him.Seeing him nodding to himself with a smile on his face, Pofeng's heart suddenly settled down.Immediately, let Liu and Li Yi take everyone down to rest.

With manpower in land reclamation, Lin Ange also started to get busy.Because the end of summer is about to enter, the weather is at its hottest.Li Yi and the others brought nearly 20 folks up the mountain, and within ten days after dawn and dusk, they cleaned up the wasteland that Lin Ange had circled.

When these people were down the mountain, they were old-fashioned farmers. After going up the mountain, because there was no land to grow, all of them were left idle.Now that there is finally a place for them to display, naturally they don't want to be idle anymore.

Pulling weeds seems to be an easy job, but it is the most tiring.These people are all elderly people, Lin Ange was afraid that their legs and knees would not be able to bear it, so he hastily made dozens of simple wooden benches, so that they can sit and pull weeds to reduce the damage to the knees. And it doesn't delay work.

These people were originally farmers, and they couldn't control their work when they saw the work. In just four or five days, they cleaned up nearly [-] acres of wasteland.Although these lands are usually not trampled by people, the soil quality is very soft.But if you want to turn it over manually, it still takes a lot of effort.Lin Ange felt that he still had to discuss with Pofeng and the others, asking if it was possible for someone to go down the mountain and buy a few cattle.

The jurisdiction over the Elongshan area under the mountain must be strict now, but if you buy it from another town, there is still hope.

When resting at night, Lin Ange shared his thoughts with Pofeng.In the dark, Pofeng didn't say anything, but just hugged Lin Ange's arm softly.

"However, now is an extraordinary period. It may not be convenient for us to go down the mountain, and I heard that cattle need to be registered everywhere, so it may not be so easy to buy."

Pofeng in the darkness heard the strong sense of loss in Lin Ange's tone, and felt rather uncomfortable.He reached out and grabbed Lin Ange's hand on his waist, and gently squeezed it.

"Not necessarily, but if there are cattle, you and the third brother don't have to work so hard."

Because Li Yi and Lin Ange were also leaders, they naturally couldn't be lazy in doing things.Every day, following the crowd in the sun, the whole body is almost peeling off a layer of skin.Although Pofeng didn't say anything, he saw everything in his eyes, even if he felt distressed, he couldn't say it clearly.They could only wait for everyone to come back at night, and bring back a basin of cold water to help Lin Ange apply the exposed skin on his shoulders and neck.

"It will indeed save a lot of labor. Although the weeds have been removed now. But plowing the land is a big project. If there are cattle, it will indeed save a lot of labor."

Lin Ange had been running for a day, and was already extremely tired. After holding on to speak a few words to Pofeng, there was no more sound.

Hearing Lin Ange's long breathing, Pofeng knew that he had fallen asleep.Putting his arms under his head and turning sideways, looking at Lin Ange's face in the dark, Pofeng couldn't help reaching out to stroke his facial features lightly.

Pofeng's fingers slid across Lin Ange's face and seemed to be a little itchy, Lin Ange shook his head, grabbed Pofeng's fingers in his hands and turned over.

Looking at Lin Ange's appearance, Pofeng felt sore and swollen in his heart. After watching for a long time, he finally got up and left the shack.Lighted a small oil lamp outside, took out a pen and paper and wrote a letter, got up and went to the huts of everyone.Woke up a person softly, and handed the letter to that person.

"Give this letter to Li Tang, and ask him to buy all the things I wrote in the letter, and find a way to get someone to send it up the mountain."

The man squeezed the letter in response, and then disappeared into the darkness...

……

In a blink of an eye, two months have passed.

At this time, it has entered autumn, and the temperature on the mountain began to drop slowly.After the hard work of everyone working overtime, as many as six sets of yards on the mountain have been completed.Because the mountain wind has cooled at night, the small shack can no longer withstand the cool wind.Everyone tidied up the built house and moved in.

Because of Pofeng's identity, he and Lin Ange were assigned a separate room.In this way, it was much more convenient for the two of them to 'do business', and Lin Ange was so happy that it was like Chinese New Year.

However, what made Lin Ange happy was not only moving into the new house, Xiao Qi even drove four cows to the new house five days ago.At the same time, there are a lot of wheat seeds and radish and cabbage seeds.

Looking at the strong cattle, Lin Ange was stunned for a moment.Then he set his sights on Pofeng.Seeing him standing at the door of the new house in a green shirt, with a smile on his face, his whole body bloomed in front of him like a lotus flower.

"Thank you." Lin Ange walked up to Pofeng and whispered.

Hearing this, Pofeng looked at him with a smile, stretched out his hand to hook Gou Lin Ange's right hand hanging by his side, and said, "Thank you, I didn't just buy the farm cattle for you alone. And you helped me more, If it is really necessary to calculate so clearly, then don't I have to say thank you even more."

Thank you for willing to take my words to heart...

Lin Ange held Pofeng's hand with his backhand with his right hand hanging by his side, squeezed vigorously and nodded without saying anything.

Pofeng stood aside and waited for Lin Ange to happily lead a few cattle to find a place to settle, then turned his head and glanced at Xiao Qi.She nodded to him, motioning for Xiao Qi to go with him.

The two came to an open place, Xiao Qi took out a letter from her arms and handed it to Po Feng.At the same time, he said: "This is a letter sent back by the commander. After Li Tang received it, he sent someone to send it up the mountain."

Hearing that it was Si Qing's letter sent back by someone, Po Feng hurriedly peeled off the sealant and pulled the letter out.After reading the entire letter, Po Feng's face gradually darkened.

Seeing Xinshang Siqing entrusting him to take good care of Wan Qixing, Pofeng raised his head to look at Xiaoqi, and asked, "How is the fourth master?"

Speaking of this little ancestor, Xiao Qi was both funny and helpless. "It's alright, fighting wits and courage with the second leader every day, I'm very energetic."

Hearing this, Pofeng nodded, and said: "You go back to Elong Mountain, let the second master pack up and move them here."

Seeing Pofeng's serious face, Xiaoqi guessed that something must have happened.Immediately put away the smile on his face, nodded his head in yes, then turned and left the room.

After Xiao Qi left, Po Fengjiang looked down at the letter in his hand again, his face gradually became solemn.
