Chapter 196: Descending the Mountain
Lin Siye and others were also very interested and interested in teaching the wicked people of Jintian Village a lesson. They divided the objects with An Sanshao and Libai's subordinates, took over forty or fifty Diao people, and beat their boards in different ways.
Lin Wuye, Zhao Yue, Hong Dabao and others, while beating people, gathered together to study, how did they beautify the beating posture while concentrating the power of beating people? Everyone brainstormed, and what they said was called a hot one, and that one was comforted.
I only pity the villagers of Jintian Village who were beaten, their throats were hoarse in pain, and their eyes were swollen in pain, and they didn't get the pity of Lin Siye and others.
When Lin Siye and Lin Wuye taught the villagers of Jintian Village, they were still regretting. Because the flood was so deep, they didn't bring their own children with them when they came to the mountain, leaving them outside Anping Town to guard their horses. It would be great if the playful boy could also enjoy the fun of sticking to educate the people!
The villagers, led by the head of Jin Village, were treated obediently after this time, and they no longer dared to have bad intentions towards the Cen family. They all made up their minds in unison: those who are far away from the Cen family in the future will starve to death and die of poverty, and they will not be able to attack the Cen family. Otherwise, what awaits them is that they don't know what a bleak and tragic end it will be.
An Sanshao said that this time it was just a small punishment, and next time, it would definitely make them regret coming to this world. Who is An Sanshao? The little bully who is rich and settles down. In Qing'an County, who dares to provoke him! Isn't that tired of being alive? They didn't dare not listen to him.
Who knew that the Cen family, who seemed to be polite and weak, was actually ruthless! And there is strong help behind it, and people you know are even harder to mess with! It's hard for them to hunt geese all day long, but this time they were pecked by the geese, and the pain was so painful that it was a heart-wrenching bone!
The matter of beating the board lasted for half a day, and in the end, the villagers of Jintian Village were beaten so that they could not stand up.
Cen Erye and Cen Erniang were kind-hearted, and they bothered Lin Siye and others and the villagers of Taolin Village, so they kindly made dozens of simple stretchers and sent the villagers of Jintian Village back to their homes in Jintian Village four times. I also left a few coarse steamed buns for each of them. that they may not starve to death.
As for whether they will be killed and whether their injuries will worsen, it all depends on God and their luck.
The Cen family's sweet move completely conquered the hearts of the villagers of Jintian Village. The success made a small number of people in the village have a good impression of the Cen family, and they plan to make friends with the Cen family in the future, and the other half of the people dare not go against the Cen family even if they resent the Cen family in their hearts.
In the next six months, Jin Village Chief and others slowly recovered from their injuries at home. They also took the initiative to get together, cut wood and move stones, burned bricks and tiles, and rebuilt the Cen family's mansion, so as to show goodwill to the Cen family, and show their surrender, hoping that the Cen family will not care about their previous mistakes in the future.
……
On the 28th day after beating the villagers of Jintian Village, the villagers of Taolin Village and the An family, who had been infected with the epidemic, recovered from their injuries and illnesses, and went down the mountain with some unused medicinal materials, food, clothing, and utensils full of vitality.
The sun was still shining. Because the villagers of Taolin Village were familiar with the mountain roads, they took Cen Erye and the others to take a shortcut, and soon went down the mountain and went out from the intersection that was blown up by An Sanshao.
At this time, more than half of the flood under the mountain has been eliminated due to the sunny days for several days, and when An Sanshao and them entered the foot of Jintian Village, they had to take a raft. At this time, the pool formed by the mountain torrent gathers in the center of the deepest water, and the water is no more than the thigh, the edge of the water. Only to the ankles.
Taolin Village, a low-lying area at the foot of the mountain that was flooded at the beginning, now has an average water depth of about an adult's waist. Many houses were washed away by the water, and the bodies of cattle, sheep, chickens, and pigs were drowned in the floodwaters. It has long since decayed and melted into the flood. The whole village was enveloped in a foul smell, and it was impossible to live at all.
When Village Chief Li and other villagers of Taolin Village saw this situation, they were not sad and sad in their hearts. But the days go on. After reconfirming that their family was gone, they planned to simply move to the back mountain. Rebuild a Taolin village in the back mountain.
Anyway, they have built a lot of wooden houses in the back mountain, and they have also opened up a large open space, and they have already formed the prototype of a small village. Now they will go back and rebuild their homes, and they will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
Moreover, Village Chief Li and others had learned from the mouths of the villagers of Jintian Village that the Cen family's house in Jintian Village had been destroyed by them and could no longer be inhabited, so they wanted to go back to the back mountain and rebuild a more spacious and beautiful new home for the Cen family.
Cen Erniang also supported their decision, leaving a small part of the food and clothing moved from the back mountain, and giving the rest to Village Chief Li. She told them to go back and deal with it for a while. When the flood at the bottom of the mountain has dissipated, the epidemic has been brought under control, and the villagers who have fled slowly return, and the town has regained its former prosperity, they can go down the mountain again to buy new food.
For this reason, Cen Erniang also borrowed a thousand silver tickets from An Sanshao, and stuffed them to Village Chief Li in front of everyone in Taolin Village, telling him to keep it for future use.
Cen Erniang's move made everyone in Taolin grateful, and their hearts became more and more determined to rely on the Cen family for life and be a cow and a horse to repay the kindness of the Cen family. Not to mention the far, if you are close, take the matter of building a house for the Cen family, we must do our best to achieve perfection and not let the benefactor's family disappoint them.
Village Chief Li also asked eight young adults and two middle-aged daughters-in-law in the village to follow the Cen family. said that the eight young adults were specially guarding Cen Erniang's safety, and as for the two middle-aged daughters-in-law, they acted as the cooks and rough servants of the Cen family, responsible for taking care of the Cen family's food, washing their clothes, etc.
Cen Erniang and Cen Erye did not refuse the kindness of Village Chief Li, they went down the mountain this time to assist the government in controlling the epidemic, treating the disease and saving people, and they did not have extra time and energy to take care of themselves. With the villagers of Taolin Village, they can always feel at ease and save trouble.
It's just that Cen Erniang and Cen Erye insisted on paying the ten villagers, otherwise they wouldn't be accepted. The ten people had no choice but to agree to charge a small amount of silver taels, and secretly decided in their hearts that they must share more worries for the Cen family.
The day after descending the mountain, the Cen family and others bid farewell to Village Chief Li and them, and continued to move forward into the west of the town. At this time, the flood water on the streets west of the town has basically receded to the knees, and in some places it is only beyond the instep.
A small number of locals who have escaped from the outside have returned to the west of the town.
Most of the houses in the west of the town were washed away or damaged by floods, and they could no longer be inhabited. After the villagers who had returned home wept for a while, they regained their strengths and tried to rebuild their homes. Often the neighbors on the street help each other, you help me, I help you renovate the house.
The Cen family did not have a residence in the west of the town, and Cen Erniang's family did not want to go to Qing'an County to settle down with An Sanshao, and heard that the flood in the original ancestral house of the An family in the east of the town had almost subsided, and the private soldiers of the Feng family and the six princes had not returned. Cen Erniang and Cen Erye planned to go to the ancestral house of the An family to live.
An Sanshao, Libai, Lin Siye, Zhao Yue and others were afraid that the ancestral house of the An family would collapse and they would no longer be able to live in it, so they decided to send Cen Erye and others to the east of the town first, and take advantage of the large number of people to repair a small courtyard for the Cen family first, so that they could live without being exposed to the wind, sun and rain.
Because the ancestral house of the An family is an old house that has been built for many years, although it has been rebuilt many times later, it is not very strong. In the flood this time, the huge ancestral house of the An family almost collapsed. Only the houses in the two side yards, which were newly renovated in previous years, are mostly in good condition. It's just that there are already seven or eight families of villagers in the town who have lost their homes and live in it. (To be continued.) )
