But if you don't escape, you can't do it, the silver in hand can't even pay a person's tax, if you don't escape, Hantu may be arrested.

When I returned to the house, I simply packed up a set of bedding and some changes of clothes, as well as a few sorghum cakes, and then brought a few clay pots and hay, stacked them on the cart, and left Xiangzhang Village with the cart at night.

It's just that the daughter-in-law of Hantu didn't expect that the piece of broken silver she secretly hid in her belly pocket had already been known by Xiang Hantu, but it was just that it was not time to ask her for it yet.

No one knew that Xianghantu had fled Xiangzhang County, even if the eldest son Xiangquan, who lived in a courtyard, could not see his father and mother, thinking that they had gone up the mountain to fetch water.

A few days later, more than a dozen families were sitting at the door of Xiang Laosan's house, and you Xiang Laosan became the new governor of Xiangzhang County, so you have to help them solve the problem.

First of all, the food has been eaten, and you have to buy it with silver, but there is no silver at home, so you can only sell the land, and the girl can also sell it.

Xiang Laosan smiled bitterly and shook his head, he still has dozens of taels of silver at home, these silver are all the silver sold by the little ginseng given by Fubao for so many years of hunting in the mountains and going out to work.

But these silver have to be read to Xiaoshu, the master said that after the New Year next year, Xiaoshu can go to Fucheng to try, if it works, he is also Xiucai's father.

"Folks, my family really doesn't have the money to buy your land, and my little tree is studying in a private school, so I really don't need a maid at home."

"What can I do, I don't have a copper plate at home, and I have to pay taxes next month, and if I can't pay my man and son, I will be dragged away, oh my God, I'll kill me with a thunderbolt." An aunt began to cry.

For a while, everyone present shed tears, they already knew that the man who was pulled away would either go to the border to fight, after all, Xishun was not having a good time, and wanted to rob Dongshun of the wealth.

There are also some people who go to some mine to dig silver, either die of exhaustion or disease, even if they don't die, when the mine is finished, they will be executed, anyway, they can't escape a dead word.

Xiang Laosan now regrets that he took the job of the chief, when his father was the chief, at least the villagers did not dare to make such a fuss, but at that time, every household in the village had food and silver, so he could only say that he was unlucky.

"Let's go find the rich, in the end, they are the fathers of the masters, and the court will give them silver." Aunt Zhou suddenly screamed.

Everyone looked at Aunt Zhou unkindly, this mother-in-law is really not a good person, Fugui found a water source in the mountains, and she didn't think of swallowing it privately, so that everyone has water to drink, you still want to go to the pit Fugui.

"I'm not going, I have to talk about my conscience, your mother-in-law's conscience has been eaten by dogs." A villager shouted.

Immediately, some villagers nodded, and when they didn't find the creek water, everyone drank the well water of the rich family, and later the well water bottomed out, and the rich found the water source.

"I just want to sell the land to Fugui, not to let me do anything." Aunt Zhou's face was sneering, but she still distinguished.

"Hehe, you don't sell your field when you can grow food, but now you have to sell it when there is no water, you are not rich and rich." A villager said.

Aunt Zhou was completely angry, pointed at this group of people and scolded: "Saying that I am rich and noble, you are not clamoring to sell the land to the third child, as if you are not cheating people." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone lowered their heads, but a voice in their hearts told them that Fugui had no responsibility and obligation to help them, and the third child was the newly appointed lieutenant chief, and he had this responsibility.

No one spoke, and no one would be stupid enough to blatantly go to the pit to grow, but now Aunt Zhou has torn all the dough, so she can only go home.

Two days later, the village chief suddenly rang the gong, and the villagers were surprised when they heard the gong.

Every family ran nervously to the threshing floor, and saw the village chief holding a gong in his left hand and a stick in his right hand, constantly knocking on "dangdang".

There were Fugui and the third child standing on the side, looking at their faces were happy, well, it is estimated that it is a happy event, and the hearts of the villagers can't help but be curious, what is the happy event.

Seeing that the people were almost there, the village chief cleared his throat and said loudly: "Let me tell you a good news, Fugui found a piece of wild rice in the mountains, and we will all go up the mountain to cut the rice later." ”

"What, wild rice!"

"Rice, fine grain!"

"It's really fake, I'm dreaming."

"Ah, Fugui, how can you be so capable, or you will be the chief of our house.

"Yes, yes, yes, I agree."

"I agree."

The third child's face was a little unsightly, but he was definitely not jealous of wealth and wealth, but felt that he was really incompetent, in order to get rid of the embarrassment as soon as possible, he raised the hand hidden behind him:

"Everyone, look at it, this is the wild rice brought back by Fugui, although most of the rice is grain, but it can still be eaten, if you are reluctant to eat, you will go to the county to sell it, and you can exchange some sorghum to come back."

Everyone listened to the words of the chief, and their thoughts were taken away by the chief again, but they forgot to let Fugui be the chief, but everyone was still very worried about how many wild rice Fugui had found, whether it was enough for a village to be satisfied.

"Now listen to my command, as long as you can still breathe, you will take the guys up the mountain to cut rice, but the ugly words are ahead, all the cut rice is placed in the grain drying field, and then we will divide the grain according to the head." The village chief said solemnly.

"Village chief, rich, how many wild rice are there on the mountain." A villager asked.

Fugui said with a smile: "I took a cursory look, and it is estimated that there are about thirty acres of land." ”

In recent years, Fugui has also developed this wild rice field with the help of Fubao, from the beginning of two acres of land to more than 30 acres of land, the yield is very high, and the yield per mu is not a problem.

It's just that this year, because he plans to give the harvest of this wild rice to the villagers, Fubao will no longer water it, otherwise the rice will grow with a lot of yield, and the villagers will doubt it.

"Thirty acres, if there are 100 catties of one acre of land, there will be 30 acres of land...... Oops, I must be dreaming, who's going to pinch me. Xianghanhe said with a smile.

"Oops...... You mother-in-law, you are really dead. Xianghanhe suddenly shouted.

Everyone laughed, laughing, and ran home, taking the guy up the hill to cut rice.

Half an hour later, everyone watched the withered yellow rice in front of them flutter slightly in the wind, and tears of excitement flowed in their eyes.

"You people cut from here to the back, you people from the back to the front, you people go to the house and push out the carts, and send the cut rice to the barre." The village chief made arrangements in an orderly manner.
