Chapter 25: Nishimura
Qiu Niang's action of biting her fingers paused, and she slowly raised her head, and she didn't know when she stood in front of her, and there was an expressionless teenager behind the girl.
Qiu Niang trembled her lips and couldn't speak.
Of course she wanted the child to live, but she didn't quite understand what this person's intentions were.
The man next to Qiu Niang suddenly raised his head when he heard this, and couldn't help but shudder at Shen Jingcheng's cold gaze, but he still looked at Gu Jin forcefully, and finally gritted his teeth and snatched the child from Qiu Niang's arms, kneeling and lifting it in front of Gu Jin.
"This kid is very well-behaved, he has never been sick, and he is not a picky eater, you can just keep it as a kitten and a puppy, he will definitely be as strong as me in the future, and he will definitely be able to do a lot of work for you."
Qiu Niang didn't react at first, she just wanted to snatch the child back, but when she heard the man's words, she suddenly stopped moving, and slowly knelt on the ground, looking at Gu Jin with her hands folded, her eyes full of pleading.
"Raise him, he'll be a very capable child."
The people around saw the two of them like this, and there were children at home, and they subconsciously picked them up and unconsciously moved to this side.
If they can give their children to others, as long as they can live.
Gu Jinhuan looked at the people who were slowly gathering around him, and looked up at Shen Jingcheng.
Shen Jingcheng pulled a flower from the solid iron rod in his hand, bowed his head and said to the man: "I can give your child a way to live, I can also give your whole family a way to live, and I can give everyone here a way to live, but within half a year, you people will have to listen to me." ”
Hearing his words, the man was not only not happy, but slowly retracted the hand holding the child.
So many people, listen to him? What does he want to do?
Seeing the man like this, Shen Jingcheng's heart relaxed, and he slowly said his request.
It's good to have a bottom line, and if you have a bottom line, it means that this person is not a vicious person, and it is estimated that he was just desperate when he stole it from his head.
After listening to Shen Jingcheng's request, the man couldn't believe his ears.
"If you want, take them to the county to settle down, report the name of Shimu Village when you settle down, and I will accept you at that time, of course, I don't want people who have eaten two-legged sheep here, do you understand what I mean?" Shen Jingcheng stared at the man's eyes, his gaze deep.
Two-legged sheep?
Of course, the man knew what this meant, and quickly shook his head.
"No, we don't have anyone here who has eaten a two-legged sheep."
"That's good, if you want to, you can take someone to settle down in the county, and I won't force it if you don't want to." After Shen Jingcheng finished speaking, he took Gu Jin and left here and headed for the county seat.
As soon as Shen Jingcheng and Gu Jin left, the surrounding refugees immediately surrounded the man.
"Zhang Lao Er, who is this?"
"Is that man telling the truth? As long as we are willing to work for him, he will let us eat until the autumn grain is harvested? ”
"Yes, let us cultivate two acres of land, and lend us the seeds?"
"How do I feel like a dream, it's not fake, right? Oops, what are you pinching me for? ”
"I'm not going to let you see if it's a dream."
"Hahaha......"
The man named Zhang Lao Er looked at the originally lifeless people around him, his face instantly brightened, and his eyes slowly moistened.
How long has it been, how long has it been since I've seen these people with hopeful eyes in their eyes?
What the man said must be true, right?
As soon as a question flashed in his mind, Zhang Lao Er pressed it hard.
It's true, it's definitely true.
He once heard the people of that village call this young lieutenant chief, he can be the lieutenant chief at such a young age, if he doesn't have the ability, who will obey him? The words of such a person must not be false.
Zhang Lao Er strengthened his confidence.
It's not that he believed Shen Jingcheng's words so easily, but now that he has reached a dead end, now that someone is willing to give him a way to live, he wants to try, maybe he and these people can survive?
When Shen Jingcheng and Gu Jin arrived in the county, they told Lin Hu in a very high-sounding manner that in order to reduce the burden on the county, Shimu Village could resettle twenty families of refugees, so they went to the iron shop to get the bow and arrow customized a few days ago and went home with Gu Jin.
The next day, when Lin Hu came over with twenty refugees, he didn't know how to describe his feelings. Originally, after Shen Jingcheng came, he was still thinking that there was a solution for the refugees outside the county, who would have thought, Shen Jingcheng left on the front foot, and there were refugees on the back foot to sign up and settle down, and he also designated a ten-mu village.
When he got here, if Lin Hu didn't understand that these were called by Shen Jingcheng, he would have lived for so many years in vain.
Fortunately, there were only 14 families of those refugees, and he picked 6 households outside the county town to make up 20 households, which could be regarded as relieving him of the burden a little.
But Lin Hu still felt that Shen Jingcheng was young and careless, and he didn't know the horror of refugees at all, so when he picked the six families, he deliberately looked at Anfen's family.
Shen Jingcheng looked at the people he brought over, and carved out a large homestead with Lin Hu as before. It's just that this time, the homestead was not zoned next to the original homestead of Shimu Village, but was zoned to the west of the soil slope, and since then Shimu Village has been divided into East Village and West Village.
And he also discussed with Lin Hu that there must be a lot of things to arrange for the new villagers, and it was best for him to find someone to re-manage the affairs of the East Village, and he would concentrate on the affairs of the West Village for the time being.
Lin Hu readily agreed to his request, after several years of recuperation, there are now more than 30 households in Dongcun, which can be divided into three A, each of which can be managed by the head of A, and the things that the head of A can't handle can go to the chief on duty every year, there is no need for Shen Jingcheng to take care of these people.
Shen Jingcheng took advantage of Lin Hu's arrangement of the affairs of the East Village, and went to the East Village to ask for all the gongs and bells back, the reason is very good, the gongs and bells were bought by himself, and now he is no longer in charge of the East Village, the things naturally have to be taken back, if the East Village still wants to use the gongs and bells, he can buy them himself.
However, the matter is not over here, after Shen Jingcheng got back the gong and bronze bell, he took a few new villagers from the West Village to move the elm tree where the East Village hung the bronze bell to the center of the West Village, and since then the East Village has become bare again.
The villagers of Dongcun were a little unable to react to this series of changes, and did not understand how things had developed like this.
Just in the circle of the villagers of the East Village, the villagers of the West Village have already dug up the nests in the ground and started cooking lively.
When the sun was setting and night was falling, Qiu Niang looked at her son, who was eating and sleeping peacefully for the first time in these days, and the corners of her eyes were full of tears.
"It's not a dream, is it?" Qiu Niang looked at her husband, and there was still a bit of trance in her eyes.
"It's not a dream, we're all full, and my son is asleep." Zhang Lao Er wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and her eyes were also moist.
At the same time, this is almost the case in the nests of all the houses in the West Village.
I can't believe it, yesterday they were hungry and their eyes were black, and they couldn't see any hope at all, but today they were already full, it was like a dream.
That night, Shen Jingcheng arranged a patrol mission for these people, and the reason was simple and rude.
There are also people in various villages who have not been able to eat, and in addition to these refugees who have already settled, there are still many refugees in various places who are still unsettled, so it is necessary to patrol in order to prevent someone from harming someone to settle here in place of that family.
These people fled all the way, and they have seen too many sinister people, and they can come here alive, which one of them has not gone through the bloody storm, so they naturally take this matter very seriously.
Finally settled down and stuttered, who wants to have an accident?
When patrolling at night, Shen Jingcheng didn't need to specially remind these people that they were all very vigilant, and strangers were not allowed to come, including people from the East Village.
The villagers of Dongcun were very upset when they saw that this place, which could have been used to come and go at will, suddenly couldn't come, but they had no reason to refute it, it had become someone else's territory, and they could only admit it if they didn't want to.
