Chapter 7: The Imperial Guardian (I)
The arrival of these farmers also filled the atmosphere of excitement in this place, which had not been popular for almost a decade. To be honest, the environment here is really not good, but after the prefectural magistrate has opened up a little bit of small fields around the official road, at least there is no problem in making a living. And seeing that this young master family also got along very well, the people who were still a little nervous were secretly relieved in their hearts.
In particular, there is a brand new compound that has been prepared, which makes them very happy. With such a shelter from the wind and rain, as well as those lands that seem to have some harvest, and the surrounding dense forests, you can also find a lot of things to do side jobs, and life can be regarded as a hope.
Each household is not big, and there are five or six people, Qin Yifan didn't subdivide it much, and casually assigned a house to each family, anyway, they were all new houses, and there was nothing to pick. These people were specially selected by the county magistrate from those poor and remote places, and everyone carefully told them that the pressure of the imperial court and the living environment here were much better than before, which could ensure that they would not live for a while and leave.
Just coming to an unfamiliar place, it is inevitable that there will be some freshness and excitement. Almost all of the families are familiar with the environment in their own courtyards and surroundings, and the cultivation season has passed, and it is impossible to have a harvest this year, but fortunately, the imperial court has distributed enough rations to each family, and there is no problem in life. Children also began to appear in various parts of the village, curious and familiar with everything.
It can be seen that these people have also lived in the mountains and forests before, and they quickly became familiar with everything here. There were no wild beasts in the mountains and forests, so the men began to hunt in the dense forests in groups. Qin Yifan sometimes went in with them, but the number of times was very small. With their supply of game, Qin Yifan no longer has to eat without going in and out of the dense forest often, and there is enough supply in the inn.
Maybe Qin Yifan was really good to those post guards before, and after seeing that there was a small village and inn here on the way back and forth, those post guards also took on the task of running errands for Qin Yifan from time to time. As long as they mention the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and some daily necessities they need when they pass by, they will help bring them the next time they pass by the county. Of course, Qin Yifan didn't need them to pay for it, the general left him a lot of silver, according to this kind of flowering method, he couldn't spend it when those children in the village became grandfathers.
Life in the new homeland is indeed good, and these people who have migrated over will soon lose those sorrows and apprehensions on their faces, and smiles will bloom on their faces. The honest mountain people also get along well with this simple master's family, and there are often those wild meats that have not had time to be sold, Qin Yifan will call a few men to sip wine together and destroy these things. Of course, they are also indispensable in their homes, and they hunt anyway.
It's just that this young master has a very strange habit, and everyone can't figure it out. Almost every day at that time, Qin Yifan would be fishing on the edge of that strange lake. The mountain people have all seen that although there are fish in that lake, they are not big fish, a little palm size, and they don't taste very good, I don't know how this young master likes to be by the lake so much.
After all, the people in the mountains are still simple, they don't like not to understand, but no one will say anything. Sometimes when there are not many people, Qin Yifan will spend the night by the lake. Seeing such a situation, those kind-hearted mountain people spent a day building a small thatched hut for Qin Yifan by the lake, so that when he didn't go back at night, he didn't have to sleep by the lake.
There was also a mountain man who found a good tree when he was hunting, he had also learned some crafts, and he spent time to make a strong and durable fishing rod for Qin Yifan, which finally ended Qin Yifan's embarrassment of casually using a dead wood as a fishing rod. However, in this way, everyone's relationship has become more and more harmonious, and they have a very comfortable life.
With so many people, and ordinary people who don't understand anything, Qin Yifan won't do anything shocking to make them afraid. Although he knew from the general's mouth that this was the so-called fierce place, from his own experience, the so-called demon would not make any moves against ordinary people, and he had the demeanor of a master, and those simple mountain people should be very safe.
As a result, the only time left to enter the water is at night. But that's fine, being seen when you go into the water, at most explaining that the weather is hot and taking a bath or playing in the water or something. And it's also very strange, since there are so many more people here, even if Qin Yifan goes into the water, there will be no weird red light, I don't know if the demon in the lake also knows the hidden traces, or has developed an extraordinary tacit understanding with Qin Yifan?
It's just that in this way, the pressure Qin Yifan receives every time he cultivates has been drastically reduced. Qin Yifan also knew that the red light must be different, but it was rare to have such an opportunity, and he didn't want to miss this opportunity to temper his will frequently, so he especially pushed a lot into the lake to reach the previous pressure level.
Although under such circumstances, Qin Yifan could easily enter the position in the center of the lake, but Qin Yifan didn't want to explore the demon in the lake in such a situation at all, as if two masters had made a move, one gave way, and the other didn't want to take advantage of the other in such a situation. This is the self-esteem of the master.
In this way, Qin Yifan and that unknown demon had no intention of competing in such a situation. The current situation of the two sides is very similar to learning from each other and improving each other, and they are slowly improving their strength by using the pressure that the other party gives themselves.
During this time, Qin Yifan also got along more and more harmoniously with the mountain people who moved here. Everyone likes this unshelf-free master's house, and they like to give Qin Yifan any rare things, of course, Qin Yifan often sends some fish or something to everyone, and sometimes he personally cooks and handles some game to share with everyone, and a small village is full of joyful laughter.
This kind of situation is really not the same as the fierce place calculated by the old immortals in the old man's mouth. The small village is happy, and the acquaintances who come and go on the official road are also smiling here, where there is a little fierce look. If such a place is a vicious place, I don't know how many people will cry and shout to come.
