Chapter 40: Learn to Throw a Knife

In the poor family, every penny is reluctant to spend. Tian Dabao saw that Xiao Ding bought back so many things, and he was secretly distressed, saying that this fool knew how to spend money lavishly, and he didn't know how to save some savings for later use.

You must know that there has not been enough money to buy this yard for so many years, and this land is still borrowed by the village chief He for their family, if there is an order from above to take it back, or if another family comes to buy this land, their family will have to move away obediently.

"The bear meat was sold for fifty taels, and it cost a dozen taels to buy things, and there are still more than thirty taels of silver left......," replied Xiao Ding, who did not say anything about selling ginseng.

For that ginseng plant, only the second girl in the family knows the truth.

Last night, everyone's attention was drawn to the brown bear and the wolf cub. No one noticed that Xiao Ding also had a ginseng strain. Furthermore, even if they noticed, they might not recognize it as ginseng. In this era, information is not developed, and most rural people have heard of ginseng, but they have never seen what ginseng grows into.

When the second girl saw that Xiao Ding had put the ginseng into the shack where they lived, she asked Xiao Ding what he was doing with a broken tree root. Xiao Ding told her that it was ginseng, and Er Niu took a closer look, indeed, there is still a difference in human participation in breaking tree roots.

This time, although Tian Dabao also had the intention to ask for the silver, he thought about it carefully and finally did not speak.

The last time the silver was robbed by the Zhou family, and the Zhou family came again in the morning, if it wasn't for Miss Tang, maybe the Zhou family would have snatched something again. You can't make money yourself, and you can't let people rob them for nothing.

Although Tian Dabao is not smart, he also knows that it will be relatively safe to put the silver on Xiao Ding, after all, no one wants to provoke a fool. Although Xiao Ding is stupid, at most he will spend more, and he will never give away the silver in vain.

Xiao Ding saw that Tian Dabao didn't ask for it, so he didn't take the initiative to mention it. Anyway, I buy everything I eat at home. Give them money, they won't spend it, and if they don't get it right, they will be robbed.

After lunch, Xiao Ding handed over the newly bought medicine to Er Niu and asked her to help fry it. The external application was mixed with rice wine and helped to apply it to Tang Yunzhi. Using spiritual power to help her check the leg bones, and seeing that there was no misalignment again, she calmed down.

The little wolf Gray Ash has been staying in the air since Xiao Ding came back, as if he had finally seen his relatives. After Xiaofu and Xiaozhu'er fed it bear meat a few times, it was no longer so disgusted with the two children, but it was not as close to Xiaoding as it was.

After chatting with Tang Yunzhi for a while, Xiao Ding called Xiao Fu over and asked him to take him to the village chief's house.

For Luoxia Village, the only person Xiao Ding can find the door is Tian Caishen's house. For the people in the village, Xiao Ding is familiar with only the dozen or so men who have been looking for him twice.

Tian Xiaofu took Xiao Ding to Village Chief He's house, Village Chief He had just finished lunch and was about to rest for a while, when he saw Xiao Ding coming over, he was a little surprised, he didn't expect this fool to visit suddenly.

Xiao Ding said that he wanted to buy land.

He planned to buy all the twenty or thirty acres of wasteland in the west of the village, including his house, plus the small independent hill to the north of the wasteland.

When Village Chief He heard this, he was taken aback, and said in his heart that this fool is a fool, and he is doing some stupid things.

He knows the wasteland in the west of the village, if he cultivates the wasteland, even if he raises it for five or six years, he may not be able to raise it maturely, and the land is not ripe, and it is a white seed if it is planted. If it is used to build a house, Tian Dabao's family has only a few people, and it will not take more than 20 acres of land to build a house.

Besides, the hill, although it is not big, covers an area of dozens of acres, the mountain is overgrown with grass and trees, the rocks are abrupt, and you can't farm, and you can't open up the wasteland, what's the use of this fool buying it?

Village Chief He persuaded Xiao Ding for a long time, explained the truth to him in detail, and persuaded Xiao Ding that if he wanted to farm, it was better to go to the south of the village to open up a piece of wasteland, where it was better to open up a wasteland than the land in the west of the village.

Most of the cultivated land in Luoxia Village is concentrated at the foot of the mountain in the south of the village and in the east of the village.

The cultivated land in the east of the village borders the cultivated land of Luoyun Village, and this large piece of land is more than 100 acres, which is both flat and open, very fertile, and can grow two crops a year. This is because at the foot of the mountain at the east end of the village, there is a mountain stream that flows down from the mountain range on the north side, forming a small stream that flows eastward towards Luoyun Village. Although the creek is not large, it is large enough to irrigate the land in the east of the village.

However, the land in the south of the village is relatively barren, and only one season can be planted a year. First, the land was opened up late, and the years of land cultivation were relatively few; Second, there is no river irrigation, and the harvest depends on God; Third, at the foot of the hill on the south side, there is more gravel and sand in the soil, and the soil quality is poor.

However, although the land in the south of the village is barren, the villagers' fields are basically all concentrated in one place. The large fertile land in the east of the village is almost all owned by the landlord Xue in the east of the village.

In addition to the Xue landlord's family, only the village chief's family owned less than ten acres of fertile land in the east of the village. It is said that the ancestor of the village chief He had a good relationship with the ancestor of the Xue landlord's family, so the Xue family sent some fertile land to the He family.

In addition to owning the fertile land in the east of the village, the Xue landlord's family also has more than 20 acres of barren land in the south of the village. According to legend, his family's ancestors used to be officials, and his family's fields were all obtained by the ancestors of the Xue family.

The two acres of land that Tian Dabao's family rented and planted over the years are the barren land of the Xue family in the south of the village, and after the annual harvest is removed from the tax, it is divided with the Xue family fifty-fifty, and the seeds have to be reserved by themselves.

It is conceivable what kind of life Tian Dabao has lived over the years.

Xiaoding didn't buy land for farming. In this era, farming is all primitive planting methods, and there is no machinery, and you are tired and tired of working for a year, and in the end you can't produce much food, and you have to depend on the weather to eat. Unless you can have a large amount of land like Landlord Xue's family, and most of them are fertile fields, all of them are rented out, which can be regarded as a steady profit.

Village Chief He persuaded for a long time, but saw that Xiaoding still insisted on buying it. I thought that this fool was stupid, and no one would listen to him. He agreed: "Okay, since you insist on buying it, then I'll take you to the town tomorrow to enter the register, that piece of land plus that hill, it is estimated that it will cost at least a few dozen taels of silver, do you have silver?" ”

Village Chief He also heard that Xiaoding sold wolves and hunted bears last night, knowing that he could have some silver, but he didn't know if it was enough.

"There is silver. Then there is Grandpa Lao, the village chief! Xiao Ding clenched his fists and thanked him. Village Chief He and Tian Caishen are of the same generation, and they are slightly older than Tian Caishen.

After sending Xiao Ding away, Village Chief He secretly thought: I have to go to Tian's house later to see what Tian Dabao's opinion is, but don't be this fool who has done something stupid, Tian Dabao is still in the dark.

When I returned home with Xiaofu, I saw Xiao Zhu'er walking in the yard, looking like she was practicing.

Little Ding Qi said: "Zhu'er, what are you doing?" ”

Xiao Zhu'er raised her eyes and glanced at Xiao Ding, and said, "Don't you see that I'm practicing?" ”

"Practice?" Xiao Ding felt a little funny.

"That's right, Sister Tang promised to teach me martial arts." Xiao Zhu'er said seriously.

"Do you like to learn martial arts?" Xiao Ding asked.

"Yes, I especially want to be like Sister Tang, who can throw the knife so accurately and ......quickly," Xiao Zhu'er replied.

"Then why do you want to learn martial arts?" Xiao Ding asked.

"Brother fool, you are so stupid!" Xiao Zhu'er glanced at Xiao Ding, her eyes full of contempt.

"Yo, tell me how stupid I am." Xiao Ding teased her.

"I don't understand such a simple question, aren't you stupid? I learned martial arts and threw knives, of course, for my grandmother. When the time comes, my grandmother will come to snatch the silver again, and I will throw her with a knife to scare her away, and see if she dares to rob her again......"

Xiao Ding: "......" has a black line on his face.
