Chapter 179: Trouble
In the next ten days, all of Xia Fan's time was spent on the few acres of thin fields of Ya'er's family.
He brought out thirty of the sixty blood servants of the family, and in addition, more than a dozen servants of the Xia family were also brought by him to those few acres of thin fields.
The Blood Servants are mainly responsible for keeping guards, guarding the surrounding areas of the fields day and night, and not allowing any strangers to approach.
The dozen or so minions were responsible for digging the fields, and of course, in many cases, the Blood Servants were involved in such digging.
After all, the strength of ordinary people is limited, and their endurance is far from being comparable to that of martial artists, so the excavation efficiency of those dozen or so servants is really not high.
In the past ten days, various rumors have begun to appear in the village next to this land.
Every day, the old people and urchins of the village would stand at a distance, looking at this side with curiosity.
Xia Fan didn't have any intention of stopping this kind of wait-and-see, only when those villagers tried to approach, he would let the blood servants drive them away.
Ya'er's father, uncle, and her eldest brother have all been taken back to the city, and Xia Fan didn't pay further attention to which shops they would arrange to help, anyway, these were all left to Ya'er to deal with by herself, and the Xia family could always find something suitable for so many industries in the entire Qingyang City.
At the same time, Xia Fan also made real compensation for Ya'er's family, and the right was to buy these acres of land.
It's just that these things don't appear in the rumors.
According to the content of the rumors, Xia Fan is just a greedy person like the group of people who caught the head of Cheng before.
And if it is really judged by the value of the black meteorite, it is indeed worth doing something for a small family like the Xia family, so such an arrangement, no matter how you look at it, is very reasonable.
Through the excavation of these ten days, the few acres of thin fields of Ya'er's family have been dug up beyond recognition, and Xia Fan's ethereal ring has nearly two hundred pieces of hard objects of different sizes.
Most of the hard objects are excavated in the central area of these few acres of land, and the further you get to the edges, the less hard objects appear.
And it's not that the deeper you dig, the more hard objects you dig, and these hard objects are basically buried at a depth between one meter and one meter and a half in the ground.
There are only a very small number of hard objects that can be dug up in very shallow places, and after exceeding a depth of 1.5 meters, there is no hard object.
So Xia Fan really doubted that these stars were sand. It is likely that someone deliberately buried it here......
It is not known who did it and why it was done.
The time of more than ten days passed in a flash, and with the last two days, everyone added up, and after only finding a piece of hard object in total, Xia Fan finally ended this excavation.
The harvest of nearly 200 hard objects was already a great surprise to Xia Fan, so Xia Fan did not have any regrets about the end of the excavation.
Although these hard objects are of different sizes, and those relatively small hard objects are likely to be difficult to smelt out of even a grain of Star Sand, if you roughly calculate it, these hard objects together can at least smelt about 150 grains of Star Sand.
This is a fortune that cannot be measured by gold and silver!
"Alright, call it a day, stop digging! During this time, everyone has worked hard, in addition to the subsidy silver given to everyone before coming, when they return to the family, everyone will withdraw ten taels of silver for their hard work! ”
When the excavation entered the last day, which lasted for a whole morning, and no hard objects were found, Xia Fan in the field made the decision to call it a day.
As soon as the words fell, the servants of the Xia family who were working hard in the field cheered in unison.
Before they came out, they had already received a subsidy of ten taels of silver each, and if you add the ten taels of silver that Xia Fan said, this is almost equivalent to their previous monthly allowance of almost two months.
It only took more than ten days to be able to get so much silver, and these servants of the Xia family were naturally quite happy.
And as Xia Fan and his party packed up, finally withdrew from the village, and set foot on the way back to the city, the villagers in the village poured into the acres of land of Ya'er's house.
While talking to each other, they began to rummage around.
Although they didn't know exactly what they were looking for......
But in the simple ideas of these villagers, since they can be seen by the big people in the city, they are naturally rare treasures.
Although Xia Fan has been digging for more than ten days with people on these acres of land, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no fish that will slip through the net.
As long as they can find even the slightest thing missing, won't they all be able to make a windfall?
Xia Fan didn't know what the villagers in the village thought after he left, of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
If the villagers could understand the value of the hard object, they would naturally no longer have this kind of luck thought, but this world is like this, and greed together will often outweigh the losses.
Xia Fan and his party soon returned to the Xia family mansion in Qingyang City, because the number of hard objects they finally got far exceeded expectations, so Xia Fan's mood was quite good.
The servants were also quite excited because they could get a lot of silver, so that everyone spent the way in laughter.
As soon as he entered the gate of the family mansion, Xia Fan asked the servants to go to the account room to collect the silver, and then he took the blood servants towards Xia Ya's mansion.
In order to avoid accidents, in the past ten days, Xia Fan and everyone have been living in the village and have not returned to the city.
So it's not very clear what happened during this time.
It's just that looking at the hurried appearance of the servants in the family house along the way, it seems that the development of the family in these days is not very satisfactory.
With questions, Xia Fan went straight to the outside of Xia Ya's mansion, and after letting the blood servants go back on their own, he walked in alone.
The servants who were waiting for the summons in the courtyard greeted Xia Fan one after another, and Xia Fan also returned the salute gently, and then entered the house.
To his surprise, his father was not in the study at this time, but sat high on the main seat in the living room.
The old butler, Xia Wuxing, and Ye Yi were all sitting on the empty chairs at Xia Ya's hand at this time.
There are more empty chairs, so the three of them sit more scattered.
The sound of Xia Fan pushing the door in made the eyes of the four of them instantly shift to him.
"Huh? Done with things outside the city? I thought that if you don't come back, I'm going to go out and drag you back. It's just some black meteorite, although it has a certain value, and there is no need to waste so much time and energy. ”
Xia Ya said angrily.
The matter about Xingchensha was really too involved, so Xia Fan and Ye still didn't tell any third person.
It's not because of mistrust, it's just that it's often better not to know than to know.
"It's all done, after all, it is a very useful mineral, plus during the previous time, Ye Kui spent a lot of things forging and refining treasures, and the refining treasures were finally given to our Xia family, but Ye Kui himself lost a lot, although I also taught him a lot of forging skills, but after all, he was a little unable to make ends meet. So the black meteorite discovered this time can be regarded as some compensation for him. ”
Xia Fan said as he sat down beside Ye Yi.
With just a few fluttering words, the problem of the black meteorite was transferred to Ye Kui.
It can be regarded as a direct end to this matter.
"Okay, let's not mention that, let's get down to business. You're here just in time, we're just getting started, so let's still come over, just because you're not there, and I'm going to get her involved first, and then let you relay it to you later. ”
Xia Ya really didn't pay attention to the so-called black meteorite anymore, and said straight to the point.
"What's wrong? Have you been in trouble lately? ”
Xia Fan leaned on the back of the chair, but his body was still leaning towards Ye next to him, almost sticking to Ye who was sitting in the right place.
"It's not a trouble, it's just that some of the Liu family's actions have been hindered. Behind the Liu family...... There seems to be strong support. ”
Xia Ya frowned and said.
