"Let's all have a good rest, let's take a look around tomorrow, and it's better to find a place to stay." No matter how bad it is here, it is much better than outside the Saiwai, at least you don't have to worry about being cut off by barbarians when you sleep at night. Mrs. Li coaxed her granddaughter with a rattle and said a few words of comfort to her children and grandchildren.

Li Lao Er and the others were sad when they heard it, and they didn't want to make the old lady sad, but they also had to worry about them, so they hurriedly expressed their determination.

"My mother is right, our family is together, how can we live better than outside the plug."

"That's it, Liu Darttou also asked me to go to the dart bureau, an extra salary, and the family must be better."

Mrs. Li listened quietly, patted her granddaughter gently, and turned her back on everyone, before tears fell gently, wetting Jiayin's swaddling clothes...

Early the next morning, the Li family didn't cook, and the two brothers of Li took a look around, and Mrs. Li took Jiayin to find someone to inquire about the news.

There was a house where a woman's clothes were hanging in the yard, and the chimney was smoking early, so she knocked on the door.

It was a middle-aged woman who opened the door, and when she opened the courtyard door, she saw that Mrs. Li was old and holding a baby, and her tone was very gentle, "Old sister-in-law, is there anything wrong with you?" ”

Mrs. Li was relieved to see that the woman was getting along very well, and then she smiled and said, "Sister, my granddaughter and I passed by your village, we were thirsty, and we wanted to beg for water. ”

When the woman heard this, she hurriedly said "hey", turned around and went to the house to scoop water with a bowl and serve it to Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li coaxed Jiayin to drink two sips, the woman stared at Jiayin vigorously, her eyes were full of pity, Jiayin saw that the woman liked children, and she did not hesitate to smile, stuck out her tongue at the woman, shook her head, and made the woman laugh all the time.

"Sister, let me ask you, is there any place in this village where people can live? Our family came all the way to join our relatives, but the relatives were gone, and we couldn't go back, so we wanted to find a place to settle in the neighborhood. Mrs. Li returned the bowl to the woman and asked casually.

When the woman heard this, she felt pity for Mrs. Li in her heart, and the good news was so cute, she didn't hide it, she pulled Mrs. Li to sit on the stone pier at the door, chattering, and told Mrs. Li everything she knew.

It turns out that this village was originally named Qingshui Village, and the village was surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it was once a good place to prosper.

But many years ago, the people in the village fled, and they died, and there were few families left.

Later, the imperial court stabilized, and many soldiers who were injured in the war were assigned here to settle down, and the imperial court issued some copper coins every month as compensation as usual, and the rest was no longer cared for.

Most of the wounded soldiers had no children or daughters, and after they passed away one after another, the population of the village only decreased rather than increased, and it became more and more deserted.

What's even worse is that the year before last, there was another locust plague here, and last year there was another flood, and many people died.

Some people in nearby villages gossiped that Qingshui Village was cursed, saying that those wounded soldiers carried the evil aura on the battlefield, and Qingshui Village also suffered.

In this way, no one is coming this way.

Therefore, many empty yards and fields in the village have no owners, and they have been taken back by the county government.

The woman's mouth was a little dry, but she was also warm-hearted and gave advice to Mrs. Li.

"Old sister, if you want to settle down, the first one in the south, there is a willow tree at the door is the village chief's house, you go and tell him, he will definitely be able to help you."

Mrs. Li hurriedly thanked her, and when she was about to leave, she saw the woman looking at Jiayin with eager eyes, so she approached the woman with Jiayin.

"Niuniu, thank you for this aunt." Mrs. Li teased Jiayin.

Jiayin was very cooperative, looking at the woman with big eyes, smiling so much that she showed two rows of bald gums, and reached out to touch her face.

The woman's nose was sore, and her eyes turned red instantly, but her face was smiling, "This doll is so beautiful, if my girl is alive, she will definitely be like this." ”

This is also a miserable person! Mrs. Li sighed in her heart, and went back after a few more gossips

Along the way, both grandparents and grandchildren pondered.

Although the talented woman said a lot about the bad past of Qingshui Village, if you think about it, this place is the most suitable for the Li family.

Most of the residents are wounded soldiers, and the people are fierce, but there are also a lot less neighborhood calculations.

Moreover, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the soil is fertile, and it is close to the county seat, and it is only 200 miles away from Kyoto, and it only takes half a month to go back and forth.

As for the curse that others have been rumored about......

Jiayin drooled with laughter, with her little lucky star, do you need to be afraid of any curses?

Mrs. Li listened to her granddaughter giggle, and couldn't help but lean up and kiss her little face gently, "Do you like Fu Niu'er here?" ”

Jiayin immediately clapped his little hands twice, "Ahhh ”

Mrs. Li didn't expect her granddaughter to respond, she was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Okay, just listen to our Fu Niu'er!" ”

When she returned to the big tree, Mrs. Li called her sons to discuss it, and Mrs. Li took Li Lao Er directly to the village chief's house.

As expected, the village chief had a fierce face, and he looked like he had been on the battlefield, but he spoke very kindly.

I heard that the Li family has a total of three rooms, and there is a second Li who can write and calculate, he is very happy, and agrees to settle down with the Li family without saying a word.

Mrs. Li gave him a piece of broken silver, and he hesitated for a moment to accept it, and then took them around the village.

After looking at several vacant courtyards in a row, Mrs. Li was not very satisfied, until she walked to the northeast of the village, where there was a large courtyard built against the foot of the mountain.

There are five main rooms in this courtyard, three rooms on the left and right wings, and two small ear rooms, cooking stove rooms, all of which are complete.

There is a vegetable garden at the back of the yard, and a pigsty, chicken racks, and latrines are built on the side, which shows that a lot of thought was put into the construction.

The most important thing is that there are still ten acres of land behind the yard, which have been cultivated for more than ten years, which is a good two days, but it seems that there is no planting in the past two years, and there is a lot of waste.

"This yard is really good, village chief, we will buy this yard. It would be nice if the fields in the back could be bought together. Mrs. Li immediately made a decision and made up her mind.

The village didn't know what to think, and was a little stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he looked at the Li family carefully again, and then nodded.

"Well, this yard and field belonged to an old brother of mine, who had no children and died young. The deed and title deed are with me, and now I am in charge, and I will sell them to you for a hundred taels.

The silver was kept, and some sacrifices were prepared for him every year. ”

When Mrs. Li heard this, she hurriedly said, "When we settle down, the village chief will help show the way, and we will also go and pay our respects." ”

The village chief's face was even better when he heard this, "Then let's go, whose name does the yard and field fall into?" I'll take you to the county government to settle down and hand over the title deed. ”

Mrs. Li left her family to clean up the yard, and she took Li Laosi, carrying a silver ticket, and entered the county seat with the village chief.

The transfer and settlement were very smooth, but in an hour, two thin pieces of deed paper were placed in Mrs. Li's hands.

Such a large yard, plus ten acres of land, only used a hundred taels.

Not to mention that this price is so close to Kyoto, even if it is outside the Seychelles, you will never be able to buy it.

The more Mrs. Li thought about it, the more satisfied she became, and finally smiled. At this point, the Li family is going to regain roots and survive in Qingshui Village.
