He Xiaojun rushed back to Ningcheng from the Situ family's residence for an hour, and then picked up the three sisters and Aunt Hong, who had been waiting for him for a long time, from the restaurant, and then hurried to Chen Village. //

When He Xiaojun and the others arrived at Chen Village, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

In those days, rural people had breakfast and dinner, and most people had already eaten dinner at three to four o'clock in the afternoon, so the wedding banquet in the countryside was generally opened at about four o'clock. Today, in order to wait for He Xiaojun, the people of Chen Village insisted on postponing this banquet for an hour.

He Xiaojun, who was embarrassed, hurriedly said sorry to the patriarch and the old man Chen Chi who were waiting for him, and blamed them for not letting the whole village wait for him.

The patriarch responded first, saying that he had already asked the villagers, and everyone agreed to wait for He Xiaojun to arrive before opening the banquet, so they all waited until this time.

The old man Chen Chi said with emotion that He Xiaojun's popularity is really good, and the whole village, regardless of men, women, and children, supports him so much.

Indeed, waiting for He Xiaojun is really the meaning of all the villagers. At that time, the people were simple, they were not waiting for him because He Xiaojun had now become a celebrity in the city, but because he was waiting for him for the sake of the village and the villagers, and brought a good life to the people of the whole village.

Indeed, in the year since He Xiaojun's restaurant opened, Chen Village, the supplier responsible for the supply of raw materials, the villagers' lives have been like sesame seeds blooming, compared with before, there have been earth-shaking changes, and the average household income has increased at least quadrupled.

It is precisely because of the support of the villagers that He Xiaojun was toasted at this wedding banquet, of course, the wine he was toasted was indispensable.

After the wedding banquet, because the old man Chen Chi and his wife have to live in the ancestral home according to the customs here Chapter 335, they must adjust with the changes in the market to survive. What's more, in the coming war-torn days, filling the stomach is the king, so He Xiaojun is ready to let the farm in Chen Village expand the cultivation of grain-led products, and the cultivation of meat will be reduced accordingly.

The farm in Chen Village is built in a canyon about two or three miles away from Chen Village.

The canyon, known locally as Cow Horn Bay, is a place surrounded by a mountain pack. As its name suggests, this canyon is in the shape of a bull's horn and is extremely large. He Xiaojun estimated that this area should be more than three square kilometers.

The land in Cow Horn Bay is flat, and the whole place is covered with lush vegetation. There is a large river running through the canyon. Chen's farm was built right next to the big river, occupying only a small part of the canyon.

The lush vegetation proves that the land of this place is fertile. With a large river running through it, the place will be able to drain floodwater, and there will be no waterlogging during the flash flood season like a normal canyon. Moreover, He Xiaojun also learned that this big river that runs through the canyon will not dry up for many years, that is, this place will not be dry for many years.

It is said that such a place is a good place for people to live, so why does no one choose to live in this place?

Just because of this canyon called Niujiaowan, it is extremely inconvenient to enter and exit.

There are two roads in and out of Cow Horn Bay, one is a dry road and the other is a water road.

The dry road in and out of the canyon is a dangerous mountain road that "one man is a pass, and ten thousand people are not open". The trail is only big enough for two people, and it is surrounded by a cliff on one side. The mountain road has to climb a mountain bag several hundred meters high to enter the canyon.

The waterway in and out of the canyon is the outlet of the great river that runs through the canyon, and the outlet of the great river is flanked by dangerous cliffs, which can only be accessed by boat.

Because the mountain road is steep and difficult to walk, the waterway is retrograde, and the area is mountainous, the people living here are not good at rowing, so even the local people know about this fertile land and are reluctant to settle here.

He Xiaojun had already been to Chencun's farm many times before, and he had determined the location of this farm. However, in the past, due to the thriving business of his restaurant, he was busy like a spinning top every day, so every time he came, he just hurried and left after solving the problem, and did not pay much attention to the surrounding environment here.

This time, I don't know if this time was dedicated to helping the county magistrate Xie prepare for war, and his mind was full of questions about preparing for war, when He Xiaojun walked to the top of the only mountain road into the valley, after condescendingly inspecting the terrain of this place, he couldn't help but feel a move in his heart: Isn't this a good place to hide from the war?

Taking advantage of the brightness and moonlight of the summer night, after carefully looking at the surrounding environment, He Xiaojun learned about the terrain in this area from the big bulls around him.

He Xiaojun really asked the right person, in the past, he didn't do his job properly, he liked to go to the surrounding mountains to hunt big cattle, and he was very familiar with the places in this area, he told He Xiaojun that the terrain after this canyon was a series of continuous mountain bags, and after listening to the description of the big cow, He Xiaojun decided that this place was a good place to hide from the war.

The reason why he decided that the canyon in front of him was a good place to avoid war was that He Xiaojun, who was half a military strategist, took a fancy to its three advantages.

One is that this place is hidden, hidden in the mountains, and it is not easy to be discovered, and as long as you choose a high place around the canyon to post a sentry, you can detect the situation within a few kilometers of the surrounding area, detect the enemy's situation, and have enough time to move.

The second is that it is easy to retreat here, and once the enemy is discovered, it can be retreated from the mountains to the depths of the mountains behind, or it can be escaped by water to the route of the great river or to the sea.

The third is that this place can be self-sufficient, as long as you spend some effort to grow some crops, I believe that this fertile place can at least feed 10,000 or 20,000 people, or even more people.

It is difficult to advance and retreat, to conceal the enemy, and to feed people, is this not a good place to avoid war?

At this time, He Xiaojun made a decision in his heart: that is, if he couldn't go out of Jinshan when the war spread to the seamount, he would come here to avoid the war.

Originally, He Xiaojun had already made two follow-up plans for the situation that if he could not go to Jinshan in time: one was to go to Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, which had not yet been affected by the war, and then wait for an opportunity to go to Europe and the United States and other places that had not been affected by the war before these places suffered from the war. The second is to find a local place to escape the fighting.

Right now. After seeing this suitable place to avoid the war in front of him, He Xiaojun decided to take the second plan without hesitation, because this plan was more secure than the plan to leave.

He Xiaojun, who is familiar with history, knows that both Hong Kong and Southeast Asia have fallen one after another not long after the fall of Haishan, and moreover, places such as Europe and the United States that have not been affected by the war are not only far away, but also not so easy to get out, so it is better to find a place in the local area and wait for the immigration approval of Jinshan while avoiding the war.
