When everyone heard this, they immediately dodged a way, and Dong Xiaoman swaggered and walked to the middle of the crowd without panicking. opened his mouth and asked Ah Yao: "Didn't you say that I was only going to pick up your family?" How many of you have a family? ”

Ah Yao immediately understood what Dong Xiaoman meant, and explained: "When our family left, these villagers wanted to come with them when they heard about it. The old man couldn't bear to watch the people starve and wait to be robbed by the Tatars, so he agreed to let them into the valley. ”

Huan Huan said crisply behind Dong Xiaoman: "My father is benevolent, but our family is not the granary, how can we have spare money to feed such some people!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the honest man hurriedly whispered and begged that he didn't eat much, and the person who wanted to see if there was any benefit was not calm.

began to shout: "Okay, let's come and give us a subsistence realm, why can't we live in this big place?" ”

"That's right, I haven't heard of who belongs to this valley, why is it your family?"

Dong Xiaoman turned his head and glanced at Huanhuan, who turned around and ran towards the waterfall. It's a pity that the valley is too big, so Huanhuan pulled a horse and turned over and left.

When people were gossiping, Huanhuan came with Tiansheng and others to drink horses. When people saw these fierce men, they began to be silent, and Huanhuan sat on the horse and scolded loudly: "Who said just now that this valley should not belong to our family?" Stand out! ”

There must have been no one in the crowd who said anything, and no one came forward. Tiansheng shook his frightened big face, and shouted noisily, "What's the matter? I'm kind enough to take you in, but now I don't want to take up space, do you? ”

Dong Xiaoman saw that the few troublemakers in the crowd quietly hid behind the crowd, pursed his lips and smiled at A-Yao: "There are few houses in the valley. And apparently these people are not happy to send people under the fence either. Then let them go back where they came from. My temple is too small to keep this group of big Buddhas. ”

The host opened his mouth to pick up people. Immediately, an old man pleaded: "We don't dislike it, as long as we have a shack." ”

There are also honest people who beg: "Our family is an honest person, as long as we are given a stable place, we will not ask for more." ”

A-Yao's sister-in-law, who was making trouble just now, didn't dare to dislike the small place, and quietly stood aside with the child in her arms and didn't say a word.

Seeing that Dong Xiaoman was unmoved, some people began to kneel, but Dong Xiaoman still didn't see the fierce bandits behind him holding swords and shouting, which was very scary.

However, as soon as the incense was burned, some people began to shout: "You were making trouble just now, and you should leave if you want to go." Why do you want to harm us to eat and fall with you? ”

"That's right, it's already benevolent and righteous to take us in someone's place. You're just going to make trouble. To go is to go. ”

Seeing that everyone was shouting, Dong Xiaoman raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you really want to stay in my valley?" ”

Everyone nodded, Dong Xiaoman smiled and said: "I don't support the disabled people in this valley, let's say in advance that it will be my people who enter my valley, if you don't listen to discipline and make a mistake in the future, you will be kicked out." ”

Everyone nodded yes, and an old man said tremblingly: "We all understand this truth, I can't do anything when I'm old." I can go, please let my son and daughter-in-law stay." ”

The old man's child immediately burst into tears, and the old man's son knelt on the ground and even hugged her thighs and cried: "Dad." I can't leave you behind. Let's go together! ”

A little girl in their family ran to Dong Xiaoman crying and knelt on the ground with a thud. The soft voice hated, "Madam." Please take my grandfather in. I ate a little less at each meal, leaving a bite for my grandfather. ”

Dong Xiaoman's tears poured up all of a sudden, and she helped the little girl up and wiped her face. Said gently: "Are you really willing to give your grandfather a bite to eat rather hungry?" ”

The little girl nodded in various ways, and Dong Xiaoman looked at the family. The family curled up together, looking at Dong Xiaoman with a begging expression.

"Can the old man look at the dolls?" Dong Xiaoman suddenly said such a sentence, and the old man was stunned and nodded, "Yes." ”

Dong Xiaoman nodded: "It just so happens that there is a nursing doll in our family who can't live without people all day long, so please take a look at it for us." As for the monthly money, I will give it to you as usual, and the food and clothing are the same as those of our family. ”

Everyone was stunned, and the old man's son was the first to react, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing a few times. The old man nodded with tears in his eyes and said, "Please rest assured, Madame, I will definitely take good care of the child." ”

Dong Xiaoman turned his head and said sharply: "I am not a good person, and I will not take in those with ulterior motives." You have seen that my valley has limited land, and food is limited to feed so many idlers. If you want to stay and do your job, if you think I'm treating you badly, you can leave. ”

Who will go? Silly? There are also Tatars outside, what can they do without defense?

Leave everyone behind, the house can't be built in a day or two. Dong Xiaoman didn't want to cut down any of the trees in this valley, after all, they were natural barriers.

So let the people live in the cave first, and when they moved in, they left something that they couldn't take away. Dong Xiaoman simply asked everyone to go back and bring back the hoes and other things from farming, and then eat tables, chairs and benches.

The doors and other panels in the house were removed as much as they could, and then the men began to build the house. Families were scattered around the valley in a neat and orderly manner, and the middle of the valley completely turned this group of people into a barren land.

All the trees have been cut down, and now you can see the inside from the gate. In the middle, three carriages ride side by side on a wide stone road, and on either side of the road are two rows of houses, behind which are fertile fields that stretch all the way to the mountains.

Tiansheng and the others rerouted themselves from the waterfall to make a very wide stream, which can directly irrigate the fertile fields and can also be used for cooking and washing.

Dong Xiaoman arranged the division of labor among the people, some women were responsible for pulping and washing the men on guard, some women were responsible for handling melons, fruits and vegetables, and some women were responsible for raising livestock and other things.

Some of the men are responsible for farming, some of them are responsible for rough work, and some are responsible for protecting the old and young of the valley.

Until one day Jiro came back from the valley with a gloomy face and returned home without saying a word. Later, Wei'er told Dong Xiaoman: "There are more and more refugees outside. A lot of Tatars who had no food began to grab things. It's not quiet in the city either. No one cares about it. ”

"Go and pick up Luo Hao's family." Dong Xiaoman persuaded Erlang. Erlang nodded: "I think so too, but this valley is not a place for you and me after all." What would they think by nature? It's not a solution for a group of them over there, I'm afraid they don't like this quiet valley turned into a vegetable market! ”

Dong Xiaoman stretched his brows and said with a smile: "What is the big deal that I am embarrassed about, what is this?" I can still solve this problem, so you can go about what you should do. ”

When I came to the foot of the waterfall, I saw Tiansheng Tianyang and others competing with each other. The shouts and cheers came and went, so it was not lively.

Dong Xiaoman chatted with everyone for a while. Tianyang couldn't help but ask, "Sister-in-law, are you in trouble?" ”

"I'm afraid you want to tell us that the valley is going to accept people again, right?" The speaker was shirtless and wore a sheepskin sleeveless jacket. The trouser legs were casually pulled on the calves, and the sweat on the head was very loud.

This person's name is Santan, and it is said that when he was a child, he was thrown into the mud by his stepmother three times and did not die, so he was called Santan.

Dong Xiaoman nodded, Santan turned his head and said, "Lao Tzu can't take care of it, anyway, there are people cooking and washing clothes now." Hmph, but the ugly words are ahead, if these people cause trouble to Lao Tzu one day, hum the knife in my hand doesn't recognize people. ”

The natural urn snorted angrily. He tugged at the corners of Dong Xiaoman's mouth and said helplessly: "Sister-in-law, what do we want those people to do?" Your family doesn't confirm the waiting. What a delay you have to get these old men, old ladies and a bunch of little cubs. ”

Dong Xiaoman didn't answer, but asked Tiansheng: "Haven't you guys ever thought about asking for a wife?" "This group of people want to say that Dong Xiaoman is the most relieved, because they are of good quality. At least they had never molested the women of the valley, though at first they were particularly frightened.

He didn't say anything when he asked this, only Tianyang pouted: "Lao Tzu is used to being happy, what do you want those burdens to do?" ”

Dong Xiaoman continued to say gently: "It's nothing, it's just sewing clothes to make a hot meal." ”

Tianyang sneered: "Now there are people doing this for me, and I still need to marry a daughter-in-law?" ”

Tiansheng glanced at his younger brother and scolded: "That's made specifically for you?" He turned his head to Dong Xiaoman and said, "We are all people who live on the tip of the knife, how can anyone want to live with us?" Besides, we used to come and go in the wind and rain, and we didn't think about that. ”

Dong Xiaoman sat elegantly on the stone and persuaded: "Isn't the current life good? There is chaos outside, and it is not easy to make a living. You're all there to keep us weak women safe. As long as you want, what kind of girl can't be found? ”

This matter is not something that can be persuaded at one time, it needs to be thought through by the men themselves.

Erlang also persuaded him afterwards: "Look at my sons and daughters, my family is as beautiful as a fairy." On weekdays, my woman gives me food and clothing, and if something happens, she follows me to the end of the world. ”

Born to know this thing, originally Erlang's relatives came to see him all day long and envied him. After the two escaped together, they realized that all this was the credit of his daughter-in-law, and they became more and more envious.

Now that I heard Erlang's words, I couldn't help asking, "Do we really plan to live here for a long time?" ”

Erlang said: "Now, except for Pingliang City, which has not been looted by the Tatars, several nearby villages have been robbed. People in the valley who have relatives will inevitably intercede with me, and if they can stay, they will stay temporarily, after all, it is also human life! ”

Tiansheng frowned and said: "It's not impossible, it's all ordinary people." ”

In the heat of summer, the valley is filled with people from nearby villages. Some used to sell baked cakes, some used to be blacksmiths, some used to be butchers, some used to be matchmakers. In short, there are all kinds of people in the valley now, and everyone lives together and performs their own duties, and lives happily.

There are more people, and natural contradictions begin to come out. Reality always gives Dong Xiaoman, a romantic, a blow to her, so that she should not be delusional that life is dreamy. (To be continued......)
