Chapter 50: Happy Horse Race
The position of the village chief of the Dajin Dynasty is not high, and it is generally held by the patriarch of the village. At least virtuous people who have seen their grandson can suppress thousands of families in this village. And in this racetrack, there is this young man who is unique in ten thousand to become the village head. Look at it, at least it's a showman's fame, Qu Cai!
"The trail is long ......"
"Dao Chief, Village Chief, please call me Dao Chief!" Xia Qing couldn't bear the name of this little Dao Chief.
"Dao Chief, there is naturally idle land in this village, but the price is ......" Village Chief Feng is as good as a stream.
"Village chief, let's discuss the price of the goods. ”
"Do you want a household registration?" The village chief finally saw some fame, and the hand of the chief holding the cat was too white and slender. is not like a monk who alchedes and draws talismans all day long, but like a boudoir woman holding an embroidery needle
"Don't!"
"Dao Chang~ This way, please!" Feng Youxin, who was a little regretful in his heart, led the way with a smile, followed by a few little dolls with snot around him, and pressed the urge to give these babies and send a piece of straw paper to wipe their noses, Xia Qing tried not to look at these babies. In the spirit of seeing out of sight, he followed the village chief who no longer called himself the Taoist chief to the village.
The population of the village is really small, except for the women in the center of the village who are busy in the courtyard, many of the courtyard doors are hung with big copper locks.
"It's not that no one lives, these houses are all inhabited, but I went to the city to beg for a living!"
How can such a person with strong eyesight only be a village chief? This has to be an unlucky person to do so. Xia Qing didn't say anything, along the way, this village gave her a really good impression, several avenues in the village are actually paved with bluestone, of course, some small roads, it is chaotic, there are some half-cut bricks, there are also some irregular stones, but they are all neat and tidy, there are a lot of empty yards, and then I looked at three yards, there is a small courtyard with only three main houses, and there are two blue brick yards, but Xia Qing doesn't like it very much, it is not about the size, but the location, just in the lively part of this village, the side of the avenue that is horizontal and vertical into a tic-tac-toe, this kind of place, usually very good, but, to the spring drought people are in chaos, These courtyards are the middle of the road, Xia Qing doesn't want to fight with the hungry victims in the future.
"Is there a place where you can be quieter and more conducive to cultivation?"
"This is not easy to find, and the Taoist Master will not really want to practice, right?" The eyes that glanced at Xia Qing up and down, left and right, shouted, I have already seen through you, I have seen through you!
Xia Qing was aware of it, but she still said calmly: "People live to practice ......" with an appropriate meow in US dollars, it was very unconvincing,
Okay, even if you are reasonable, Feng Youxin, who felt that he was really kind and had no good retribution, was also a little angry, and took Xia Qing to see the remote and not very good yards on the other side of the village, near the river. Naturally, each has its own merits, and the advantages and disadvantages are really on the bright side, and Xia Qing doesn't like it a little in her heart.
However, after turning for a long time, Xia Qing, who walked all over this village, took a fancy to a place, which is to go back and explain the geographical environment of Happy Horse Village, this is a Zhuangzi, the village is built on the back of the mountain, the mountain is not high, but it is a gentle hill, but the forest is dense and the trees are big, there are quite a lot of wild things in the mountain, and many people in the village rely on this mountain to live. Rabbits, pheasants, wild boars, badger dogs, etc., were exchanged for silver. There is a river flowing in the mountain, meandering and flowing, the water surface is quite wide, the widest place is full of three zhang, the depth is more than uncertain, this river surrounds the horse running village in it, the rules and regulations seem to be specially dug the moat river, because the upstream passes through a large pear forest, in the spring, the water surface floats with the fallen pear petals, and the pears of different sizes float in the water in autumn, so it is named the pear river. In order to facilitate the people in the village to enter and exit, the horse race village has built stone bridges at the main road crossings, a total of five, the largest is a three-hole stone bridge in the middle of the village, because of the surrounding of this river, pedestrians are very inconvenient to enter and exit the village, if you do not pass through the stone bridge to enter the village, you have to go around a long road to get in, look at the house and have to run the horse for an hour, so it is the name of the three hole bridge village, called the horse race.
The place Xia Qing saw was the head of the village, by the Pear River, a place on the left side of the Sankong Bridge, the Pear River meandered around the village, as if it was a pear shape, but it made an inner knot in the recess of the village head, and there were about five or six acres of wasteland in this small knot. There are some woods in the middle.
"Village chief, is there anyone living here?"
"There is no one living in this area, and when the flood season of the river comes, can the water flood that place, do you see?" Village Chief Feng pointed to the flood marks on the other side of the river. "And it's inconvenient to get in and out, there was originally a bridge coming out, but this bridge has collapsed for more than ten or twenty years!"
"There's no other way in?"
"If anything, who doesn't like this quiet place?" Village Chief Feng actually likes this place very much, but as the village chief, if he lives here, it is really inconvenient for the villagers under his rule to come to find him.
At this time, it was the end of autumn, Xia Qing only saw that there were woods in the middle, she didn't know that the forest in this river island was a cherry forest, connected to the pear grove on the side of the mountain, in spring, the river was quiet, the pear blossoms were gorgeous, the cherry blossoms were intoxicating, it was really a fairyland on earth, every spring, Village Chief Feng was dreaming about staying in this fairyland for a few nights.
But in the eyes of the villagers, this is not a good place, first, the amount of silver to build the bridge is not a small amount, besides, water and fire are ruthless, who knows how high the river can rise, if it rises too much, the houses on the ground of this river bank will definitely be flooded...... Villagers always have to marry and have children when they build houses, and this place, if you remove the boundary that was flooded when the water rises, you can only use more than two acres, less than three acres. Therefore, no one would choose to build a house in this area. I can't open it, I can't live it...... I am also worried about encountering a century-old flood. But Xia Qing knew in her heart that in the memory of her previous life, this realm had always been safe and sound.
I like this!" Xia Qing smiled and narrowed her eyes. The dimples at the corners of the mouth reach their deepest state.
"Village chief, how much does this place cost!"
This place is really a quiet place, with houses across the river from each other. There is no bridge, and it is very inconvenient to come over, which is convenient for Xia Qing's reluctance to get too close to the villagers. The key is safety! Three years, three years of chaos, hiding here when the city is in chaos, and going into the city when the village is in chaos, what a good idea.
"If you buy a homestead in this village and settle down for household registration, you have to buy 30 acres of land and 10 acres of paddy fields."
"I don't know how to farm, and it's useless to use these fields!"
"This is the rule of the village!"
"Can this rule be accommodating?" Xiaodao heard that the rules are meant to be broken!" Xia Qing said with a smile.
