Chapter 43: Nature's Welcome
The middle-aged man's hair was a little messy, his head was bandaged randomly, there were blood oozing out, his beard was on his face, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but there were bruises that had been beaten.
He walked up to the two of them, and his eyes, which had originally looked a little cloudy, showed a strange brilliance.
He stared at Xia Ruo and asked, "Are you a little miss?" ”
Xia Ruo didn't have this person in his memory, "My name is Xia Ruo, I don't know if it's the little lady in your mouth." ”
The middle-aged male protagonist nodded hurriedly and said excitedly: "Yes, you are the little lady!" ”
Xia Ruo looked at him suspiciously, "Are you?" ”
The middle-aged man introduced himself: "My name is Philo, and your mother once saved my life and arranged for me to work on the farm. ”
"You look a little like her!"
Xia Ruo had studied psychology and could see that this person was not lying, "It turns out that you are an old man on the farm!" ”
"Are you the only one left on the farm now?" She asked.
Philo replied, "I am the only one left of the group of people hired by your mother when she was still alive, and the others either left on their own or were fired by your uncle." ”
"The farm was rented to a factory that kept a beast farm, and yesterday they moved out, and their workers were taken away with them."
Xia Ruo looked at him and asked, "You've always worked here?" My uncle didn't fire you? ”
Philo said calmly: "He wants to fire me, but I resolutely refuse to leave, and he can't do anything about me." Later, the boss of the animal breeder hired me as a janitor, and I stayed. ”
"Didn't they take you with them this time?" Xia Ruo asked.
Philo shook his head firmly: "Let me come along, but I will never leave." ”
"Your mother saved me and helped me solve the problem of black households, as long as this farm still belongs to her or you, I will not leave."
"Of course, if you want to fire me, I'll leave!" He added.
Xia Ruo smiled: "This farm is mine now, you can still stay, if you want to work, I will pay you." ”
It can be seen that Philo usually does farm work, the skin on his face is very rough, and his hands are full of calluses.
Philo said, "Miss, I can watch the door and do farm work. ”
Just then, a boy who looked to be eleven or twelve years old ran in.
"Dad, I got the news!" He ran up to Philo and said breathlessly.
Philo said to the young man solemnly: "Come and see the little lady first!" ”
The young man was stunned for a moment, and then bent over to Xia Ruo, "I've seen Little Miss!" ”
"Hello!" Xia Ruo smiled gently and asked Philo, "This is your son?" ”
Philo nodded: "Well, we were rescued by Miss together, at that time he was just a newborn baby, his name was Fei Yu." ”
Xia Ruo asked the young man, "What news did you just say?" ”
Fei Yu looked more clever, "I heard that this mountain land was taken back by the Xia family, and the head of the Xia family ordered these people to destroy it at will, so they not only drove the strange beasts they raised to the fields and pulled them around, dumped garbage on them, but also cut down the trees on the mountain. ”
Then he said indignantly: "My dad stopped them from destroying the farm, and they beat him up, which is very hateful." ”
"Little Miss, the head of the Xia family has released the news that no one is allowed to rent this mountain land, and no one is allowed to buy it, otherwise the Xia family will give anyone a good look."
He glanced at Xia Ruo cautiously and continued: "I also warned the nearby peasant workers not to come to work on this farm, otherwise they would be driven out of the imperial capital by the Xia family. ”
