Chapter 15 The Great Migration of the Whole Village in Shijie Village
Liu Jing calmly bowed, helped the three of them, and was very happy in his heart, the fate of these three upright men who he liked finally changed.
"Xianggong, when will I go?" Ruan Xiaoer asked.
Ruan Xiaoqi was anxious: "I can't stay in this ghost place for a day, so let's go today." ”
Liu Jing asked the three brothers to sit down first, and said with a smile: "Jing has been cultivating with his master since he was a child, and he also knows a little about the things before and after his death. ”
The three of them listened and were terrified.
"Therefore, I made arrangements in advance and set up a new Zhuangzi in the south of Fengfu City, with blue bricks and tiles, and complete furniture, which is more than enough to accommodate all the young and old in this Shijie Village."
"I thought so, so I asked the second brother and the seventh brother to bring their sister-in-law and mother-in-law to pick a house and settle down first.
The fifth brother talked to the villagers in this village, and those who are willing to be soldiers will always be paid a house, and each person will be given a house to settle down, and the whole family can move to it when the time comes. ”
The three of them were overjoyed, and Ruan Xiaowu didn't wait for the wine to finish, so he ran to the village to go door to door, and in the afternoon, Ruan Xiaoer's open space gathered in front of the door of one hundred and ten strong men who were fishing, and the whole village came to see people and listen to the news.
Ruan Xiaowu went to the door first and reported to Liu Jing, and the five of them went out together, then Ruan Xiaowu jumped on a big stone and shouted:
"Brothers, listen to the truth, this is Liu Xianggong, the supervisor of Fengfu Capital, and you have come to pay respects."
The underground shouted in a hurry: "See the prime minister of the capital." ”
Ruan Xiaowu waved his hand: "Xianggong is a real person of Mount Tai, going down the mountain to practice, knowing that a thousand years later, it is eight hundred years, that day and night watching the sky statue, knowing that the disaster in my Shijie Village is approaching, I have pity, so I set up a new Zhuangzi in the south of Fengfu City, a blue brick and large tile house, and three points of land in front of the door. Settle me and wait, the minister said, even if there is no one at home, if you are not a soldier, you can go to live in peace to avoid trouble! ”
The people of the village cheered in unison and were elated.
Ruan Xiaowu said again: "As long as you go to clean up the soft, the stupid family and the fishing boat, all abandoned, the fishing net can be brought, there is a big river south of the new Zhuangzi, more than our broken fish and shrimp, everyone go back today to prepare, only tomorrow morning we will be on the road." ”
Everyone shouted, and they all dispersed, and they went home to clean up.
Liu Jing gave Ruan Xiaowu some broken silver, and asked him to go to the town to hire a donkey cart, so as to pull the old man and the soft, the more the better, and he didn't have to come back if he was hired, just wait on the shore.
But he said that everyone in the village went home to clean up, and the old people were reluctant to give up this and that, and their hearts were gloomy when they thought of leaving their hometown, and they were full of longing when they thought of the blue brick and tile house that the Ruan family Xiaowu talked about, and they couldn't believe that at night, where could they sleep.
But those men, who were so happy that they sharpened the fishing fork to the brim, did not sleep at night, but danced in the courtyard, wiped their sweat, and sat on the stone bench in reverie.
In less than midnight, the open space in the village was already full of people, holding luggage, fishing nets, leading dogs, tying chickens and ducks, all waiting.
When Liu Jing saw it, he said to the second brother Ruan: "Since that's the case, let's go." ”
One hundred and ten small boats, carrying three or five hundred people, rowed out of Shijie Village and rowed towards the opposite bank.
About an hour later, when they arrived on the other side, Ruan Xiaowu had already hired thirty or twenty donkey carts to wait, and everyone went ashore and saw that the countless small boats were abandoned there, and they were reluctant to give up.
Liu Jing shouted: "It's all abandoned, a boat is counted as a consistent money, and when you get to the place, there is a ship to report the number and receive the money."
Everyone cheered, first let the elderly, children, women and children get into the car, the others carried their luggage, took fishing forks, did not enter the city, greeted the rising sun, and went straight to Fengfu.
The sun is about to set, the brigade of people and horses rushed to the south of Fengfu City one after another, Hou San has already gone to report the news first, the Taoist priest of the Fire Temple, steamed a mountain of cooking cakes, Hou Biao and others put over two fat pigs, and boiled them in a few large pots in the newly built barracks kitchen.
After receiving the villagers, they directly moved the cooking cakes and fatty pork with soup to the camp canteen and served everyone to eat.
The people of Shijie walked for a day, tired and hungry, saw snow-white cooking cakes, oily pork, hungry tigers pounced on food, swarmed up, swept clean in an instant, Hou Biao saw it, waved his hand, and served it up again.
After eating, it was already dark, and the people were sleepy, and when they saw the empty house in Manzhuang, they broke into it indiscriminately, climbed on the earthen kang, broke the quilt, and fell asleep.
When they woke up the next day, the sun was already high, and the people opened their eyes, looking at the new houses and new furniture, and they were all confused, and after a long time, they woke up and realized that they were no longer in Shijie Village.
When they got dressed and came out to see, there were early risers, and they had already chosen a house there.
Liu Jing took Hou San, Mr. Han Xiaoniang, Mr. Wang, a group of people, etc., to patrol there, the heroes of Crouching Tiger Mountain went back to the mountain one day earlier and moved their families, and they all chose to live near the barracks, and the family members saw that they had new neighbors, and they all came out to see the excitement, although they only came one day earlier, they all pretended to be old people, and the people of Shijie Village talked enthusiastically and pointed out which house was good.
When the three brothers of the Ruan family got up, Liu Jing asked them to bring their mother-in-law to choose first, and the mother-in-law took Ruan's second wife and wife to go around, and they were dazzled for a while, and finally, they chose three houses near the river, and Mr. Wang registered them.
The people of Shijie Village are accustomed to living in Bozi, and their minds are the same as their mother-in-law, so they have chosen to live in a place near the river in the south, and they have been making a mess all morning before they have finished their selection.
In this way, the north side of Wohu Mountain and the south side of Shijie Village were selected, but a large piece of space was vacated in the middle.
At noon, I still killed two pigs, Mr. Wang said, this is the last meal of the tube, and in the evening, everyone will go back to their own homes and find their mothers.
During the meal, Mr. Wang asked the people who had boats to count, and almost every family of the villagers had a boat, and more than one household could be divided into three or two, and each was happy not to mention it.
After the meal, Liu Jing asked the three brothers to gather the men who were going to be soldiers, about 100 people, and immediately divided them into three teams, and let the three brothers each lead a team and became the leader.
After the assignment was completed, the Metropolitan Prison Office finally took shape.
The next day, Tang County ordered to hear the news, and Liu Jing stood on the newly rammed earthen platform, only to see Hou Biao leading the archers to stand on both sides, the three leaders in the middle, each with a simple knife, each leading dozens of fierce men, all holding five-strand fishing forks, all changed into brand-new military uniforms, majestic.
The county commander was overjoyed, and stroked his beard and laughed: "The virtuous brother has an unpredictable opportunity to recruit such a strong soldier, why worry that the bandits in the mountains will not be destroyed!" ”
Ruan Xiaoqi heard it in the audience, hugged his fists and said: "I'm waiting for the newcomer, and I want to kill the thief and make meritorious contributions, why don't you give an order, we will kill that Culai Mountain tomorrow!" ”
With a wave of his hand, the men shouted in unison, "Kill!" Kill! Kill! ”
"Good! The morale of the army is promising, but the leaders are not impatient, and when I make a little arrangement and prepare one thing, we will go to conquer the wandering bandits. Liu Jing said with a smile.
"What do you want to prepare?" Several leaders asked together.
Liu Jing smiled very gloomily: "Grenade!! ”
