In this way, the rickety Yao Runzhi held Yao Tiantian's hand, and the simple Da Zhuang supported all the old village chiefs, and it took a full cup of tea before they entered the main house and sat down on the kang in Yao Runzhi's main house. Yao Tiantian hurriedly brought a big bowl of hot water to one of them.

A bowl of hot water was poured into his stomach, and the old village chief's face finally turned a lot ruddy, and he smiled helplessly and reproachfully at everyone's attention, "It's okay, it's okay to take this breath, Da Zhuang, you go and tell the big guy to go, let everyone don't worry, I will work with Mr. Yao and I will definitely come up with a proper solution." ”

"Okay, I'll go." Da Zhuang agreed, turned around and ran out.

sent Da Zhuang to appease the villagers. The old village chief took Yao Tiantian's hand and praised him with emotion, "This is Mr. Yao's niece Xiao Tianniu all day long, right?" Not only is he cute, but he is also a smart and brave good child. However, grandpa is sorry for you, you went all the way to our Yangjiatun, and grandpa didn't have time to entertain you well, so we got involved in this matter. Today, thanks to the courage of Xiao Tianniu and the wit of Mr. Yao, we have been given this respite. ”

A trace of doubt flashed on Yao Runzhi's face, and he said thoughtfully, "Speaking of which, Tianniu is indeed witty and bold today, and I guessed the discord between Huang Buren and Master Li, so I found a way to provoke them." ”

Looking at Yao Runzhi's puzzled and thoughtful face, Yao Tiantian was shocked, she was in a hurry to save people today, ignoring that her current skin is just a twelve-year-old girl, and she is still a little girl who has just arrived in a foreign country. Of course, Yao Tiantian understands that she, a lonely soul in another world, with the help of Xiao Tianniu's body, is also an incredible thing, if she is not careful, she may be locked by the people here as a monster, and maybe she will be sacrificed to the sky lantern.

Taking a deep breath, Yao Tiantian warned herself not to panic, not to mess with herself, she Yao Tiantian found Yao Runzhi such a blood uncle who cared about her in her two lives, she was not willing to give up this warm family affection at will, she couldn't let him have any doubts and reservations about herself.

Yao Tiantian was anxious, thought about it for a while, and finally frowned, and carefully picked up the conversation, "Actually, it's not that I guessed what the relationship between Huang Dahu and Master Li is, I just met these officers and soldiers on the way to Tunzi, and I was scared, so I hid behind the big stones, and I happened to secretly hear Master Li asking Huang Dahu for silver, and Huang Dahu gave it so honestly, so I knew that neither of them was a good thing." At that time, my uncle was beaten by them, and I was in a hurry, and I didn't think so much before I said that. ”

After speaking, Yao Tiantian told the conversation between Master Li and Huang Buren that he overheard behind the big stone in the morning, but he cleverly concealed his guess about the subtle mentality of the county master, he sent a master to collect the poll tax, this kind of unconventional logical behavior must not be a righteous and bright government behavior, about this, I believe that the smart uncle must also be able to guess.

Yao Runzhi is undoubtedly smart, in such a tense situation, after a slight prompt from Yao Tiantian, he immediately figured out the key to it, and retreated Huang Dahu and Master Li in a timely manner. However, after the incident, the smart Yao Runzhi also began to wonder about Xiao Tianniu's behavior, how did a twelve-year-old child get such great courage and such complex scheming.

Now, after listening to the conversation between Huang Dahu and Master Li that Yao Tiantian overheard in Yao Tiantian's vivid teaching, Yao Run's doubts were finally solved, and he had a look of relief on his face, gently stroked Yao Tiantian's hair, and said with emotion, "Fortunately, Xiao Tianniu is alert, and it is also our Yangjiatun that should have this turning point, which happened to let Xiao Tianniu eavesdrop on their conversation and know about the dirty transaction between them." ”

Hearing Yao Runzhi say this, Yao Tiantian's hanging heart was finally put back in his stomach, and finally passed this hurdle, Yao Tiantian secretly told himself in his heart that he must be cautious in his words and deeds in the future, and he must no longer make others suspicious.

Thinking about it clearly, Yao Tiantian had a shy smile on her face, and with a hint of fear for the rest of her life, she said happily, "I was afraid of them so I hid at that time, but I didn't expect to hear their conversation, and I was so happy to be able to help Tunzi." ”

"Well," Yao Runzhi nodded with satisfaction, and said uneasily, "You did the right thing, you still have to avoid them in the future, and don't run out recklessly when there are occasions like just now, this time it's a fluke, but you won't be so lucky, you know?" ”

The strong concern in Yao Runzhi's tone made Yao Tiantian feel heartwarming satisfaction, and she returned a little bubble of happiness from the depths of her heart, like a real twelve-year-old child, sweetly responding, "Tianniu wrote it down, Tianniu listened to her uncle's words, and she would never run away in the future." ”

"What a smart and obedient boy, good girl." The old village chief on the side listened to the conversation between Yao Runzhi and Yao Tiantian's uncle and nephew, and commented matter-of-factly.

"Thank you for the compliment, the little sweet girl just bumped into it by mistake, it's just a little lonely and lucky." Yao Run patted Yao Tiantian's head comfortingly, and said modestly, but his face gradually changed color from the relief on his face.

In a moment, Yao Runzhi frowned, and asked with some concern, "Huang Dahu has invested a lot of money this time, and Master Li was bought by him, although they left temporarily and gave us a one-day deadline, but where are we going to raise the fifteen taels of silver next?" ”

Speaking of this topic, the old village chief finally completely collapsed, he was shrouded in thick sadness, he let out a long sigh helplessly, and squatted on the ground with his head in his arms.

Yao Runzhi endured the pain on his body, moved to the old village chief, and slowly squatted down, shouting tentatively, "Old village chief, old village chief,......"

"Mr. Yao, I, I, I'm a sinner in our tun." The old village chief slowly raised his head in Yao Runzhi's call, his face full of ravines was already full of tears of self-blame and guilt, he choked up and said, "This bit of family business handed down by my ancestors, I'm afraid it will be lost in my hands, how can I have the face to see the lowly ancestors and ancestors after a hundred years?" But, I can't just watch the descendants of the clan being driven out and suffered, woo woo woo ......"

"The old village chief means to sell that piece of land to Huang Buren? Or are you going to sell the corn seeds in the hands of the villagers? Yao Runzhi also had tears in his eyes, and asked distressedly, whether it is corn seeds or ration land, it is the capital of the villagers of Yangjiatun to settle down, but there are only these two valuable things in Yangjiatun, and only these two things can raise silver taels.

"Hey, that's what I'm thinking, Mr. Yao, is it feasible for you to give a total total?" Village Chief Yang temporarily stopped his tears, slowly raised his head, sighed and said his plan, "Now the head tax silver is only fifteen taels, which is more than three taels of silver than the original, I think we can sell fifteen acres of land, get twelve taels of silver, and then each family will make up for it, if it is not enough, then sell some seeds, and make up enough fifteen taels of silver, first pass the current difficulty, and then talk about it, and when we catch up with a good year, everyone is rich, and we will buy back the land left by our ancestors." ”

When Yao Runzhi heard this, he sighed secretly in his heart, now Huang Buren has taken a fancy to this piece of land in Yangjiatun is not used to grow crops, but to be used to build a hunting ground for the officials in the capital, if they only agree to sell part of the ration land, he will definitely not buy it, let alone give up. And the big families in the surrounding tunzi have more or less some friendship with Huang Buren, and now Huang Buren has Sun County's order behind his back, and the big families around him will not offend this Huang Buren for our land, even if they are greedy for the fertile ration land of Yangjiatun, no one will go to this troubled water at this time.

However, Yao Runzhi also understood that he couldn't say this too bluntly, and today the old village chief Yang had been hit too much, and it was not easy for him to make the decision to sell some of the fertile land. Moreover, although Yao Runzhi is favored by the old village chief, he is still a foreign surname after all, and the old village chief takes a fancy to his talent and is willing to discuss anything with him, which is the old village chief's cherished talent, but Yao Runzhi always remembers his guest status and maintains due respect for the old village chief. This is the way for the guest and the host to get along for a long time.

Yao Runzhi thought carefully in his heart before he said thoughtfully, "The old village chief thinks very reasonably, an acre of fertile land sells for eight taels of silver, and the price is also very fair. However, at the moment, Master Li has only given us one day, and I am afraid it is not easy to find a buyer. ”

Yao Runzhi said tactfully, but the old village chief had already understood the meaning of his words, knowing that he had thought about things too simple this time, he said anxiously and guiltily, "Listening to Mr. Yao say this, it is I who think things too simply, and now I only have hope for Zhou Dahu on the other side of the mountain, he has been fighting with Huang Dahu, and he has sent people to talk to him several times, and he is also interested in our good land, maybe this time he can save us from this emergency." ”

Yao Runzhi nodded unconfidently, "Now I can only hope for this Zhou Dahu, I hope he has enough courage and ambition." ”

"Yes," the old village chief said, shaking himself to his feet, "I'll go back, and quickly send someone to Zhou's house to deliver a letter, and ask Zhou Dahu to come to our place to see the land, and have a good talk with him."
