The news that the cottage was going to recruit people to go to the island to open up the wasteland suddenly exploded among the families and people in the back mountains.

"Boss, boss, take me to see it! Where did this news come from? In the newly built neat residence in the back mountain, an old man poked his head out and shouted straight out of the door.

When a half-year-old child heard this, he ran back from the crowd and shouted as he ran: "Grandpa, a notice has been posted at the gate of the compound!" I'm afraid that we won't understand, and the old man of the village will send someone to read it! There is a brother who has not stopped breathing since noon, his mouth is dry, and the villagers have sent water! ”

After the boy finished speaking, he stepped forward and picked up the old man who walked out quickly, and the two of them went out to see the notice. At this time, an old woman heard the sound of her door, and also turned out of the house, and said: "I said that his father, I don't know how far away this sea is, we are all old bones, I don't know if I can turn back when I go!" I look at this excitement, let's not make it up! ”

The old man glanced back at the Hun family and said, "You old woman! What to say! Our family was originally in Zhujiazhuang, and they all rented other people's acres to live, and our sons couldn't survive the hardships, so they all walked ahead of us! I thought there was no hope in this life, and that's it! How do you know that when you meet a living Bodhisattva like the owner of the village, you don't dislike our old and small, and it's useless, and you don't frown and accept our whole family up the mountain! Without him, where will the food come from? Now we can help him, but shouldn't? You see that you think in a small way, do you know what you are called? It's called forgetting the roots! ”

"Dad, where is I forgetting my roots? You said that although I don't know anything, I also know the truth that my homeland is hard to leave! You said that we are all so old, and we have left our homeland, and what kind of crime did we suffer on the sea! ”

"What? Displaced? Our ancestors migrated from one county to another, from one village to another, why didn't anyone come to tell us about leaving our homeland? Do you say to yourself, were we the ones who used to make the family village? Have you forgotten where I married you? When the old man saw this, he didn't rush forward. Stopped, turned back to his wife, and said.

"Hey...... You...... What do you say in front of the little ones? The mother-in-law's face burned when she heard this, and she hurriedly waved her hand.

But the old man didn't answer, and continued, "Why are we running around like flies? Isn't it a search for a way to live? Old woman, what do we have to do at this age? But when these three boys grow up in the future, what will they live on? Have you thought about them for you? ”

When the old man said this, the more he spoke, the more he felt, and he seemed to hold back the words in his heart for a long time. At this time, when you encounter an opportunity, don't vomit or be unhappy:

"You don't want to think about it! What a benevolent and righteous person the owner of the village, how could he trap our ordinary people? If you think we are a burden, ignore us, why do you recruit us up the mountain, and provide delicious food and drink, just for this is to trap you and me? And sin! I said that you old woman, that is, the longer the hair, the shorter the knowledge. The more alive it is, the more it turns! ”

When the child saw that the two elders were on the bar, the grandfather said that the grandmother couldn't get off the stage again, and immediately interrupted: "Oh, Grandpa." Grandma, don't make any noise! There are only 100 families in the village this time, and everyone is crowded, and I don't know if we can go or not! You're arguing with yourselves here! ”

The mother-in-law saw this. didn't care about talking to the old man, looked at the eldest grandson, and said a little puzzled: "Boss." Why are so many people going, what do you think they want? ”

"Grandma, you are in the house all day long, and you don't go out, Grandpa knows more than you! The owner of the village said that as long as you are willing to go, each family will be divided into 100 acres of land, a ploughing cow, and 10 stones of grain, all of which will not cost money, and they will all be given to us for free. I also said that when I got there, who had a headache and brain fever, and it didn't cost me a penny to see a doctor in the first few years, I didn't hear it clearly here, it seems that after living for a few years, at most I will pay for medicine! The boy explained to his grandmother.

The mother-in-law couldn't help but be moved when she heard this, and said, "Didn't you say that you would pay the imperial grain in the future?" ”

The old man listened and became angry again, and said: "I gave you a hundred acres of land, and I sent cattle, rations, and farm tools to use with you, and I didn't take a penny for you to see a doctor in the end, and in the end you didn't even want to pay the imperial grain, you ...... Don't say it's my old Wang family! Why don't you know what to do? I'm so angry! ”

The mother-in-law blushed when she heard this, and only said after a while: "I just asked, and I didn't say no, why are you so angry?" "Divide the fields according to the households, send the ploughing cattle, the strange things that I have never heard of in my life, happened in front of my eyes, so that this mother-in-law can't even raise the confidence to talk at this time.

"It's as if you didn't pay grain for the first three years, and you didn't pay any miscellaneous taxes! How much grain we collect, it's all our own! The cottage will regularly send someone to buy at what purchase price! From the fourth year onwards, according to the harvest of each family, one out of ten will be levied on grain! There are still no other miscellaneous taxes, but every year during the agricultural slack, the villages will organize the people to perform forced labor, repair canals, and so on! The boy said again.

When the mother-in-law saw this, she was speechless, and the eleventh tax plus the strength of the handle was nothing to a tenant like them who had had enough of exploitation? It's just that she really can't believe that such a good thing is going to befall ordinary people like her, who have no money and no power.

Fortunately, Wang Lun's reputation in the hearts of the villagers is not bad, otherwise it would definitely make people think about this matter in a bad way.

The old man saw that the Hun family had died down, and immediately couldn't take care of her, and said to his grandson: "Let's go, let's go and have a look, maybe we can register for our family!" ”

The child nodded again and again, and took the grandfather to go, only to see the mother-in-law hesitate for a while, stomp her feet, look at the backs of the grandfather and grandson, and chase after them.

As soon as the grandfather and grandson approached, they heard a voice shouting: "Don't squeeze, don't squeeze!" Listen to me! ”

Looking at the crowd in front of him, Brother Yun didn't care about the Sven he learned from the owner of the village, and shouted in a hoarse voice.

The soldiers who maintained the order next to him saw that Brother Yun was anxious, and they all shouted, and it took a long time to persuade the excited people.

Brother Yun didn't have time to take a sip of water, jumped on top of a big rock, and said loudly:

"Folks, listen to me! My brother Yun is here to assure you that this time the field will definitely not be the only one! Everyone, put your heart back in your stomach! The place we are about to go to is hundreds of miles in radius, which is bigger than the entire Yuncheng County! Even if you move all the villagers in the cottage, it may not be full! ”

The villagers laughed loudly when they saw it, and it didn't take long for them to quiet down, and they all pricked up their ears to listen to Brother Yun'er continue:

"Therefore, the number of 100 households set by the owner of the village this time is not the final number. It's only because there are so many people on the boat this time, so we will carry everyone over in batches, after all, our cottage can't everyone swim over!? Be patient, don't be in a hurry, don't panic! Now everyone according to the village, village, near and far relatives before going up the mountain, together to a few gentlemen to sign up, the cottage will try to arrange everyone in a batch, when a village of villagers to that side still live together, but also as neighbors, so that everyone will settle down at that time, feel no different from before! ”

When all the people heard this, they were overjoyed, and they hurriedly visited their side, and when they met relatives and friends, they smiled and leaned closer, and in a short time, the originally crowded crowd on this flat land was divided into more than a dozen groups. There were countless noisy sounds:

"Sanwazi, you feed the dog, you are stunned! Why don't you call your second uncle yet! ”

"Fifth brother, is your brother-in-law coming? It's just time to make up! ”

"Lao Li, why are you standing over there? The people of our village are here! ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! My relatives are all here, there was no way before, everyone lived far away, and now I can have the opportunity to be together, I really can't be separated anymore, I'm sorry Xiwang! ”

The two grandfathers and grandsons also found the old neighbors on Zhujiazhuang, everyone got together happily, lined up and waited for the gentlemen to register, this is most of the hour, but everyone did not feel tired at all, but chatted with each other with great interest, looking forward to a better life of becoming the owner of a hundred acres of land.

"O Bodhisattva, O living Bodhisattva! I've lived all my life, and I've never seen someone like the owner of the village, which is really a blessing from my previous life! ”

"Lao Wang, you can be regarded as having survived, but it's a pity that a few boys in your family, if you survive to this day, won't you be able to live a good life for a few days?"

"Alas...... Fortunately, my three grandsons are still healthy, a few days ago when Dr. Mu came to see the old man next door to us, I gave my three grandsons a pulse, this doctor is kind, and he did not postpone it at that time, so he gave my three grandsons a pulse, and then you know what the doctor said to me? He said that my three grandsons have no problems at all, and their bodies are great! ”

"Isn't it a blessing? I heard that Dr. Mu used to diagnose the official family, because he admired the owner of the village and his old man only went up the mountain, you look at the three descendants of your family, called the doctor who treated the official family to diagnose the pulse, in this life, blessed! ”

"It's all thanks to the owner of the village and his old man's blessing! A person as good as him is fortunate to be in this water pool for the heavens, if it is far away, where can we hope in this life? Do you say no, old man! ”

"Not how! His old man raised his flag in this water, so that our people in a radius of hundreds of miles have received his kindness, if they sit on the dragon chair in the future......"

"Shh......h Silence, silence! Can you talk nonsense about this? ”

"I just said! You're cowardly! You say, did the Zhao Guanjia take care of you and me? I wish Chaofeng such a huge wealth and collect the rent every year, but have you ever been short of you and me by one and a half catties? If the harvest is not good, isn't it forcing our tenants to death? Hum! I'm about to go to sea, and those traitors won't bother me anymore......"

After the old man finished speaking, his face showed a look of yearning, as if his ancestors had been wandering around for generations, like a rootless tree for so many years, and finally in his body, the auspicious words blessed by the ancestors could be regarded as a manifestation of the spirit.
