Chapter VIII

Approaching late at night, we finally arrived at Pingchuan. The two groups of people met, and some weepings inevitably rang out, but nearly half of the people in Wu He's village died, some of them had no family at all, and some only one person was left. Wu He's family is excellent, if it weren't for the fact that grandma was crazy, the family of four would all be alive.

Pingchuan is a rare flat and fertile land in this big mountain, some crops are naturally produced here, and there are more tributaries of the Tianchuan River that pass through, the trend is gentle, and it is not dangerous to wade across the river in ordinary times, and the fish in the river are also extremely abundant.

Its only drawback is that it is too far away from the town, and because of this shortcoming, the city lord does not allow people to build a village here, which is said to be unfavorable for control. Now that many villages have been washed away by mountain beasts, the fugitives have come to Pingchuan to gather, and no one dares to go back.

No one could guarantee that the mountain beast would go berserk again, and the villagers near Fenglian Mountain would not dare to go back, and that Fenglian Mountain must have become extremely strange now.

Time passes. During the day, Huan Songlin and the three village chiefs who had fled here gathered the crowd to discuss what to do next, and how to start became the primary issue.

Ask Puyang for help? However, some villages said that they had asked Puyang for instructions when the black fog covered the sky, but they did not get any response like Wuhe Village, and now it has become a problem to send people to Puyang, so can it be done for people to risk death to go to Baoding? The villagers are extremely reluctant to pin their hopes on Puyang.

The villagers knew what kind of virtue Puyang was in the past, and they had always accumulated resentment against it, but at this time, they hated Puyang even more for ignoring it, and agreed that what Puyang did was what it often said was to ignore human life.

After a noisy discussion, everyone established a new village and promoted Huan Songlin, who had the highest knowledge and experience, as the head of Pingchuan Village, and began to build a new village in full swing.

The primary problem in Pingchuan Village is food. Although there are some natural crops in Pingchuan, they are far from enough for this village of more than 100 people, and from time to time people flee to Pingchuan, which increases the burden. In such a predicament, the great rule of "working together and taking according to demand" was established by the village chief Lin.

The villagers had never heard of this practice, and they all looked half-aware and were very worried about it. The village chief also knew the concerns of the villagers, and dialectically intertwined his own down-to-earth views with the villagers, and combined with the desirable results practiced by his predecessors, which gave the villagers some comfort.

Although the prospect is said to be a good prospect by the village chief, it takes time to harvest the crops that can be planted, and now there are more people and less porridge, no matter how hard you tighten your belt and work hard, it is difficult to survive until the harvest season.

The solution to this contradiction is very simple: "rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water", the village chief said that farming alone is not enough to feed people, hunting and picking are carried out.

Wu He often wandered in the mountains and wilderness, and the things he knew were very complicated, such as herbs, terrain, fish and beasts, etc., so it was natural that he became the captain of the hunting team.

Hey! No one in this hunting team knows about hunting, and even says that they have never touched hunting, and even Wu He only observes the habits of wild beasts, and occasionally traps some small beasts.

And the mountain forest they faced, with its potholes, thorny grasses, and wild beasts, if they encountered some wild beasts as big as dogs, the hunting party of more than 20 people was afraid that they would be injured and hunted.

Wu He has a clearer and more subtle understanding of the ferocity of the mountains and forests, but hunting is something that has to be done, otherwise, the dilemma of lack of food will be difficult to get out, and it will be a matter of the lives of the whole village. However, in exchange for injury or life, can you survive such a life? This has yet to be confirmed.

Adhering to the nature of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, Wu He has raised the fishery according to what he knows and sees. He formulated the direction of the team, and in the early stage, the hunting was supplemented by fishing, and through safer fishing and trapping, the hunting team had some opportunities to slow down, so that these young adults who only knew how to farm did not have to fight wild beasts for food for the time being.

The food has been roughly arranged, and the rest is the problem of living, clothing, and use, most of these arrangements are taken over by the village chief and his daughter, among them, Huanyu can be said to be extremely efficient, and its fairy-like manipulation method also makes the people who see it call it unpredictable.

For example, when Huanyu pharmaceutical, it will directly determine the medicinal properties by eating, and sometimes several different medicines will be eaten together, and even the concocted medicine will be eaten, and even the way of concocted medicine will be established after eating. This, after being seen by some villagers, is called a god who saves the people and loves the people.

Wu Zi knew about Huanyu's immortal body, and also told the village chief, in this way, the two of them still couldn't stop a little heartache for Huanyu.

In the construction of the village, because of the participation of Huanyu, the logistics development of the village is leapfrogging, and Wu He's fishing and hunting team has been able to run and develop rapidly.

The hunting party was able to compensate for the lack of experience with better equipment. In the gradual opening up of hunting, casualties are inevitable after a year, so when the village proposed to give up hunting at the end of the year, Wu He agreed with both hands.

Of course, the rejection of hunting is the willingness of the villagers to give up dangerous operations in order to seek stability after the village has begun to operate better, and after stockpiling fruits, grains, and livestock.

According to common sense, the initial formation of a village, one year is not enough, but Pingchuan Village has a happy rain. It takes a year for others to figure out the established facts, and Huanyu only needs ten days to deconstruct and expand, so extraordinary that with the help of heavenly immortals, how can Pingchuan not do it?

At the beginning of the next year, small and large houses were erected in Pingchuan Village, although it is located in a remote area, but there are no excessive taxes and strict rules, even in a medium-sized village with only more than 200 people, people are at ease and noisy.

After Wu He had no hunting team, he was supposed to join the same property, but the village chief asked him to wander in the mountains and fields to observe the signs of changes in the times, according to the village chief, many changes have taken place since the disaster during the week, and some things have become unpredictable, in order to avoid ominous and quiet occurrence, people need to be investigated.

And Wu He knows a lot of things, and his skills are more refined in hunting, so it naturally falls on him. Although, he felt that Huan Yu was more suitable, but Huan Yu's current affairs were already very complicated, not only to see patients and medicines, but also to teach children knowledge, so she didn't have time to check everywhere. In this way, Wu He took over the task and wandered around Pingchuan all day long.

The villagers saw Wu He Tianming burrowing into the bamboo forest from the east of the village, and out of the mountain forest from the west of the village in the dark, as if they were idle all day long, but they were not angry about the fact that they could get food, which was the reason why the village chief and the villagers had gathered to say it.

Since it was to avoid the quiet arrival of the disaster, they were all in favor, after all, the disaster was in the hearts of the villagers, and Wu He often found time to help this gang and that, not at all like a cheating and trickster.

There is arrangement, order, and more affection, if the village develops like this, no one disturbs, maybe it can become a paradise, but the sky is not according to people's wishes. After the second quarter of the second year, the people of Puyang touched Pingchuan.

These dozen or so people, all dressed in gorgeous clothes, with all kinds of accessories on their ears and waists, and their faces are fair and flawless, and they all seem to be the eldest and younger brothers. As soon as they appeared, they were incompatible with the simple people and things of Pingchuan, attracting some villagers to come forward to watch.

The villagers were wary of communicating with the middle-aged man who was led by them, and when they learned that it was from Puyang, their faces changed sharply and they scolded them, telling them to go back where they came from, and not to enter the village.

was suddenly scolded by the villagers, and these dozen or so people were stunned together, and immediately a son-in-law replied angrily:

"What did you say? Sloppy worm! ”

When the villagers heard the scolding, their hearts were full of anger, and they didn't know what was wrong, so they directly scolded, and all kinds of pickled things were put on them, and the filthy words and yellow words were mixed in with them.

Their faces were visibly embarrassed, and their faces were even redder, and their teeth were wide open and they wanted to throw down their bodies, rushing up to beat and scold, but they were stopped by the middle-aged man in the lead, and they were reprimanded by the middle-aged man, threatening them with their father's request.

Most of the things scolded by the villagers are well-founded, and only a few are unfounded. The middle-aged man and some of his rich children also heard a little bit of eyebrows, and after the villagers scolded happily and stopped a little in anger, the middle-aged man actually showed a humble face, bowed down and apologized:

"It's my fault, I didn't intend to break into here, we just did some research anywhere, please don't worry."

Seeing the middle-aged man's humble appearance of retreating, the villagers couldn't help but despise in their hearts, this is the city people? It turned out to be such a wow. The villagers continued to ask them to leave, saying that there was no need for Puyang to investigate.

The middle-aged man listened, thought for a while and said yes, in recent years, the surrounding area of this peak and mountain has been crowded with strange beasts, and it has become very strange.

"We don't need you, we can handle it ourselves. Hmph, in the early days it was a bad pig who didn't eat it, and now it's a cavity rat and comes uninvited? ”

When the villagers heard the word Fenglianshan, they were angry and ridiculed. The middle-aged man looked thoughtful as if he hadn't heard the sarcasm, but some young people behind him couldn't stand such insults, but because of the middle-aged man's obstruction, they could only stare at the villagers with a red face and fiercely.

"There is great strength in numbers, brother, I am an elephant priest with more regular knowledge, and we will get twice the result with half the effort with half the effort."

The middle-aged man seemed to be determined to enter the village, and he did not leave angrily when he was scolded like this, but wanted to help. The villagers did not appreciate his good intentions, but felt that he had ulterior motives, and impatiently insisted that they leave, and warned them that if they did not leave, they would wait to be beaten away with sticks.

Some rich children were stunned when they heard this, they have always threatened others, this will be threatened by the villagers, they have always been arrogant, their instincts are ridiculous, damned, but they dare not go against the will of the middle-aged man to come forward and beat him.

"Brother may not know what an elephant is, your village chief should be clear, please talk to the village chief, if it doesn't work then, let's go."

The middle-aged man saw that he couldn't make sense with the people of this village, so he wanted to communicate with the village chief. This statement also had some effect, and the villagers showed some hesitation when they saw that the village chief was involved, and they obviously thought about it. The middle-aged man saw that the villagers were prying, and continued to speak:

"The negligence of the previous year was not the original intention, it was because of the general ...... The whole country is in turmoil, and I can't take time to observe the people's livelihood, and now that the situation is settled, what I do is to do my best for the people's welfare, and there will be no disasters in the future. ”

The middle-aged man said, his waist bent lower and lower, and his face became more and more despicable, as if he was pleading guilty. The villagers stumbled and didn't know much about this, and they only understood the general meaning.

Seeing his more weak appearance, he felt reasonable for a while, and the villagers were not good at scolding again, and after thinking about the struggle, he finally agreed to let the village chief come and see. So the villagers led them to the village.
