Under the watchful eye of the crowd, the square-faced middle-aged man with a slightly large head led them to several huts.

"This is where we stack up the clutter, and you can spend the night. Horses can be tied aside, but you have to take care of the fodder yourself, and don't let these animals trample our crops. ”

"This is natural."

Yuan Xi looked at a few houses, although they were a little simple, there were still many cracks in the corners, and the cold wind poured into them, but it was much better than sleeping in the mountains. This middle-aged man spoke very imposingly, and from the moment he proposed to bring his group here, none of the surrounding villagers spoke out against it, which shows this person's status among the villagers.

"What is this gentleman called? What is this place? Yuan Xi asked his subordinates to prepare things, and he hurriedly stopped the middle-aged man to ask.

The middle-aged man said: "My surname is Tian, every family here is surnamed Tian, and we are all of the same clan, so we are called Tianjia Village here." ”

"Why do you live alone in this col? It's inaccessible, the roads are impassable, and if it weren't for the wind and rain, we wouldn't have broken in. I believe that few people usually come, right? ”

"Isn't that great?" The middle-aged man looked at him, wiped the heavy beard on his lips with his thumb, and said, "We are inaccessible to avoid the calamities of the outside world." ”

Yuan Xi thought to himself, it turned out that this village was done on purpose, they deliberately hid in, not lived here for generations. The costumes of these villagers are no different from the outside, and it is certain that they have not been isolated for several generations like Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Garden, and they should have moved in only a few years.

However, this place is really good, it is difficult to get in from the outside, but there is a large piece of flat land inside, which has been reclaimed into a piece of arable land. Just now, along the way, Yuan Xi saw that the terrain here was open, and there were at least 100 households near and far. really responded to that sentence, Qianmo traffic, chickens and dogs smell each other, and it is a peach blossom source again.

The middle-aged man explained something and turned away. Most of the people here were not very friendly, and when they saw that they were settled, they left all of them here.

Bunton ran over and said, "Brother Xian, let's sleep here tonight and leave together tomorrow." By the way, did you ask them how to get out? ”

Yuan Xi shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I'll ask when I go out tomorrow." ”

"There are a lot of them, we have to be careful, we will take turns on duty this night, as long as we find anything abnormal, leave here immediately." ”

Yuan Xi said: "No need, just rest assured to sleep." Look at these villagers, the expressions on their faces don't lie, they really look idle. Well, let's get a good night's sleep first. ”

Early the next morning, Yuan Xi came out of his residence silently alone. The weather on this day was different from yesterday, and although there was still some morning fog in the valley, the view was quite clear. The Wuhuan people were still snoring, they didn't sleep well all night last night, and finally at dawn and tomorrow, they relaxed their vigilance and went to sleep.

Zhao Yun saw Yuan Xi go out, so he followed him. Yuan Xi said: "Let's go shopping everywhere." ”

Tianjia Village is divided into four areas, with several wells dug in the northeast corner and several wooden barrels placed next to them, and the crops they grow are all irrigated by well water. There are several houses around the well, where Yuan Xi and the others lived last night. These houses are all publicly owned, some of the farm implements are stored here, and the rest of the houses are owned by their own families.

Before the sun came out, the people here had already begun to work in the fields and began their day's work. Seeing Yuan Xi and Zhao Yun wandering around, many people cast vigilant eyes and looked at them from afar.

"It's fun...... Zilong, you see a wooden sign hanging on that room, what is written on it? ”

Yuan Xi pointed to a farmhouse and looked with interest at the wooden sign at the door, on which was written with a brush "Jiasan". The number was like a house number, and he noticed that it was different from house to house.

The houses here are neatly arranged, and at intervals, there are several rooms on top of each other, and the buildings are very similar in appearance, and it is indeed easy to tell if there are no wooden signs. The houses are built in the middle of the fields, surrounded by patches of farmland. People here are toiling to turn the soil and form ridges in preparation for planting.

"Well, they grow different fields and grow different things......

"Second son, things haven't been planted yet, how do you know?"

Yuan Xi pointed to a place and said: "Some crops like to be dry, so they should be planted high above the ground, and the soil will generally be piled up, while some crops like to be moist, so they will be planted below the ground, and the soil will generally be piled up." The layout of each field here is different, so it must have been planned in advance what to plant. ”

Zhao Yun couldn't help admiring: "I didn't expect that the second son also has a set of farming." At this time, the children of the Gaomen family, where would they know how to farm, the most classic is the sentence "Why not eat minced meat", Zhao Yun felt that Yuan Xi was really unpredictable.

As a grassroots cadre in later generations, Yuan Xi naturally has to understand a little about agriculture, otherwise how to guide the work. In this sense, if he had done a good job in the position of finance secretary and had not been delegated, I am afraid that he would not have been able to know such rich details.

Yuan Xi walked and observed at the same time, and felt that the place was in order, everyone knew what they were doing, and the efficiency was quite high. It seems that yesterday's big-headed square face is very level. If you have the chance, you should still ask him for advice. It stands to reason that a person who can manage a village in an orderly manner should not be a mediocre person. It's a good knife everywhere, so why go down the path of isolation?

In addition to the men working in the fields, there will also be old people and women, and white smoke rises from the chimneys of every house, and the morning cooking begins. The people here are self-sufficient, living in a very happy place, the smile on their faces is from the heart, occasionally tired from working in the fields, they sit down to rest, nibble on a wheat cake, hum a little song, leisurely.

The previous Wuhuan tribe was a blue sky and white clouds, a vast space, which made people feel the vicissitudes of implementation, and here it was an idyllic scenery, a closed space, which made people feel peaceful. Different situations give rise to different states of mind.

Yuan Xi found a dry place and sat down. Zhao Yun also sat down next to him and said, "This deep mountain is isolated from the outside, but it is a good place. Whether it is the Yellow Turban Rebellion or the melee of the princes, the people here don't have to care, just farm themselves. Once you have the harvest, you don't need to hand it in, it's all your own. It's really enviable. ”

"Envious?" Yuan Xi said: "I don't think it's ......"
