The dog was silent, he was the oldest, and he seemed to be the backbone of the group.

He looked at Gu Lan and said, "My sister saved us, we will listen to my sister for everything." ”

No matter whether Gu Lan is really kind, or has other plans, she is willing to help them and get them out of the sea of suffering, Gu Lan is their benefactor.

Sure enough, this is a smart kid.

Gu Lan: "What's your name?" ”

"Dog, my surname is Li."

"I'll give you a different name, from now on, you will be called Li Yi."

Be a person who is beneficial to others, and such a person's achievements will not be too low.

Li Yi nodded and said that it was a group of people, and they returned to Xiaolongkan like this.

I didn't come back for two days, the villagers of Xiaolongkan were still busy, and two corner towers were built with yellow mud and wood at the entrance of the village, and some villagers stood guard on them, and they saw Gu Lan and others from afar, so they opened the defensive checkpoint made of wood and let them in.

"How is the village so nervous?"

"Uncle Ming, you don't know, in the past few days, not only have wild beasts come down from the mountains, but those homeless people outside don't know where to get the news, saying that our village is not worried about not having enough to eat, and they are all coming to our village, making us anxious!"

"I'm glad you're back, come in quickly!"

When he saw the eight strange children on the ox cart, his eyes were a little hesitant: "Where did these children come from?" ”

"It's a long story, I don't know how many people sell their sons and daughters outside, Lan Yatou looks pitiful, so she buys a few."

"Our village is too busy to take care of itself, why do we still buy these children back? I can't work......"

The man glanced at Gu Lan and muttered dissatisfiedly.

The said that the tree kudzu can be eaten is what Gu Lan told everyone, but not everyone is grateful to Gu Lan, not to mention that Gu Lan is just a woman, even if she tells them the secret method of tree kudzu, why should she be so different?

These people didn't know Aji's identity, thinking that their parents' respect for Shao Xiaoyan and Aji was because of Shao's identity as an old man hunter, and they were afraid that they would not be strict in their mouths, although their elders knew the truth of the matter, they never told them.

"What nonsense!" Uncle Ming slapped the man on the head, "People spend their own money to raise children, what's your business?" Don't go and keep an eye on it! ”

Uncle Ming was quite prestigious in the eyes of the villagers, and when he said this, the man left without saying a word.

Gu Lan saw all this in her eyes and didn't speak, she knew that once she tried to grasp the right to speak, she would definitely encounter a lot of such doubts in the future.

Marrying Aggie is only the first step, and the next step is that she needs to work her own.

Blindly being nice to these people is counterproductive.

"How are you going to place these children?" Aji looked at Gu Lan.

Gu Lan smiled: "Didn't Uncle Ming say it just now?" I brought people back, so naturally I am responsible, and I will take them to build houses and provide them with food. ”

Of course, raising children is not so simple, but Gu Lan really needs to establish her own team.

If you want to give back, you have to pay first.

Aji looked at Gu Lan seriously: "I'll help you." ”

Needless to say, Aji would support Gu Lan's decision, after Old Man Shao learned about this, he only hesitated for a moment, and then began to touch the bones of these children, and in the end, he selected five children to go out, four boys and one girl.

"These children have good bones, they can follow me and Zhu'er to practice martial arts."

"This kid ......" he touched Li Yi's hands and feet, shook his head and said: "It's a pity, even if you raise it well, you will fall into the root of the disease, I'm afraid that the rest of my life will be bad!" ”

The anticipation on Li Yi's face disappeared, and he smiled bitterly: "Thank you, grandpa, it's already a great luck that I can save my life." ”

"The heart is not bad, I will try my best to heal you, do your best, and know the destiny of heaven!"

Several children were temporarily placed in a dilapidated firewood house, Gu Lan asked the villagers to build a new house, which was specially used to house these children, as long as there was a fire kang, the style of the house could be improvised, and then it would be said after this winter.

When Gu Lan was busy, Zhu'er suddenly ran over and said to Gu Lan with a mysterious expression: "Sister, I found that the Gu family seems to have learned to make cassava flour, they have recently gone out two or three times, all to sell things, and then bought a lot of things and came back!" ”

Zhu'er bumped into him while patrolling, and the villagers asked the Gu family what they were going to do, but they were beaten up and couldn't control them.

Gu Lan frowned, they all lived in a village, she didn't think that the Gu family would be so stupid that they didn't know what they were doing, but the Gu family sold cassava flour outside......

Will it attract the attention of people like Dongfang Shuo?

But even if they told the villagers, they were afraid that it would be too late, so no wonder when they entered the village just now, they said that many people had attacked the village recently.

So that's the problem.

Gu Lan tapped her knee, do you want to spread the method of cassava can be eaten to everyone, she is still hesitating, there are pros and cons to doing this, the advantages are in the world, and the disadvantages are in the individual.

If you don't tell people elsewhere, then the villagers of Xiaolongkan can sell cassava flour to make money, and Gu Lan will naturally be able to get it.

But if you tell people elsewhere, will fewer people starve to death this winter? Could it be that there won't be so many children being sold?

Gu Lan hesitated for a long time, but still planned to discuss it with Old Man Shao.

She talked about the pros and cons, Gu Lan must be inclined to tell others, anyway, there are already many people who know, and she has no shortage of ways to make money.

But when paper came out, it was enough for her to make a lot of money.

It's just that high returns always come with great risk.

Old man Shao also agreed with Gu Lan's approach, so when hungry people came outside Xiaolongkan again, they either begged or wanted to sell their children, hoping to get some food from Xiaolongkan.

Unexpectedly, the villagers of Xiaolongkan actually gave them cakes to eat for free, and after they had eaten the cakes, they told them that the cakes were made of poisonous arrowroot.

Of course, they don't have to be afraid of being poisoned, because the villagers of Xiaolongkan are eating arrowroot powder, which is the real reason why they don't lack food in winter.

Now the people of Xiaolongkan are willing to tell them how to get rid of the poison of kudzu, and they will no longer worry about food shortages in the future.

These homeless people are skeptical, if what the people of Xiaolongkan say is true, why should they tell them this method?

In the end, Li Zheng came out to explain.

"Everyone is a folk, we can't bear to see you starving, if we can help, we can help, if we need help in the future, I hope you can lend a hand!"

At this moment, the doubts in the hearts of the displaced people have disappeared a lot, and most importantly, they believe that if the people of Xiaolongkan do not eat arrowroot powder, how can they still have so much food to raise their children!
