Chapter 141 Rat infestation
Wang Song's mission has been successfully completed and he can return to the capital at any time.
He was a little worried about the situation in the ancient village. Thinking that the task would be completed early this time, he decided that it would not be too late to postpone his departure for two days.
During these two days, the brothers can just take a break.
As soon as the decision was made, Zou Xiaojun and others raised their hands in approval.
Although the journey was leisurely, they still shouldered a responsibility.
Now that this heavy burden has been lifted, I naturally have to relax for two days before setting out on the road.
After the group settled at the inn, Wang Song and Zou Xiaojun rushed to the dock.
The Qi family said that everyone should go back to the ship first, and then decide on the accommodation situation after sending someone to the ancient village to have a look.
When Wang Song rushed to the dock, he heard that Qi Yunfeng and Tang Xinyue had already gone to Shanggu Village. He was relieved and just waited for the news.
The nearly two months of getting along made Wang Song absolutely trust the couple.
Problems that cannot be solved in the hands of others will definitely not be solved in their hands.
He knew that the reason why Qi Yunfeng chose the ancient village so firmly was that he must be able to solve difficult problems.
Otherwise, they would not take it as a trivial matter when the lives of so many people in the exile group were at stake.
Ancient village.
When Qi Yunfeng and Tang Xinyue stood on a wooden bridge and looked at the ancient village surrounded by water, they were both fascinated by the small paradise-like village in front of them and couldn't take their eyes away.
In the village, there are no fields, only wooden houses.
The front and back of each house are filled with trees of different heights and flowers of different varieties.
The trees here are lush and the flowers are fragrant. They complement each other and compete with each other. It is such a beautiful place.
"Yueyue, look here and there." Qi Yunfeng pointed to the abandoned fields outside, "They should all belong to the ancient village."
Tang Xinyue nodded helplessly.
Shanggu Village is located in the deepest part of the mountain, surrounded by mountains, and there is only one mountain pass to enter. It is surrounded by rivers, and there is a bridge when you enter the village.
Therefore, no matter how beautiful and plentiful the land is here, it will be difficult to retain people due to the geographical environment.
What's more, with powerful enemies outside and rat infestations inside, the ancient villagers finally abandoned their homes.
Later, Tang Xinyue released her mental strength and clearly saw the scene in the ancient village.
At first glance, it looks like a paradise from the outside, but inside, it is really panicky.
Those rats, big and small, were densely packed in every corner of the village.
White, silvery white, yellow, brown, gray, black, colorful, colorfully spread all over the ground, like a huge flower carpet.
The strange thing is that no matter how many rats there are, they will never climb onto the wooden bridge and will only control their activities within the village.
Even under the ground, there were many rats, piled on top of each other, all asleep.
If these mice were to reach the ground, the carpet of flowers would be piled up on top of the tree.
There is no one here except rats. The rat spirit that the magistrate was talking about has left or died.
I thought that when there was a rat infestation in Shanggu Village, no matter how hard we beat it, we couldn't kill it. Instead, as the number of rats increased, the county magistrate couldn't control it even if he wanted to.
After all, in addition to being uninhabited and becoming a paradise for rats, it also succeeded in keeping those two countries at bay.
Tang Xinyue estimated that this place might have become a forbidden area in Qingshan County, and many people had never set foot here.
However, the seemingly honest and kind-hearted county magistrate actually sent them here.
Did he never see the grand scene here, or did he point to someone to treat the rat infestation for him?
If she didn't have extraordinary means, how could anyone live here?
Tang Xinyue let out a wry smile. No matter what, they were a blessing in disguise.
Finally, when her mental power was locked on a strangely shaped rock, she finally understood the reason for the large number of rats.
Under the rock, there was a huge rat king stuck. It closed its eyes and seemed to be asleep.
Through the stone, the Rat King continuously releases its breath, attracting rats to surround it.
There seems to be a mutually supportive relationship between the Mouse King and the Mouse.
Because of the Rat King, so many rats will not starve to death even if they do not eat or drink;
With these rats providing rat energy, even if the rat king cannot move, he will not be stuck.
And the biggest reason why they can maintain this wonder is that big stone.
The big stone was an inverted triangle, with a smooth surface as if it had been cut with a knife.
There are as many as two-thirds of the stones buried underground.
The unlucky rat king probably just wanted to sleep under a big rock at first.
Unexpectedly, when I woke up, I would be trapped in the cracks of the rocks forever.
There is a house next to the big rock, and the owner of the house is supposed to be the unlucky rat spirit.
The man was probably also suffering from rats, but he didn't want to be wronged and wanted to understand the reason, so he stayed.
But, how could he understand the reason?
There were more and more rats, and if he didn't leave, he would most likely have died long ago.
In the ancient village, because of this big stone, even if it has not been inhabited for many years, the wooden houses, trees, flowers and plants still look like they have been taken care of, and everything is full of life.
After figuring out the reason, Tang Xinyue withdrew her mental power and sighed.
"How is it? Can someone live in it?" Qi Yunfeng asked with mixed feelings.
"Of course." Tang Xinyue smiled lightly, "Let's go, we'll come back tonight."
To deal with so many rats, of course, we have to wait until the moon is dark and the wind is high.
Qi Yunfeng didn't ask any more questions. Since his wife said it could be lived in, it meant it could be lived in.
This ancient village has beautiful scenery. Apart from being a little remote, there is nothing wrong with it.
But if there are mule carts and horse-drawn carriages for traveling, this is not a big deal.
Soon, the two returned to the dock.
As soon as they appeared, Zhuzhu and the others, who had been looking forward to their return, ran to meet them.
"Sister-in-law Seven, Brother Seven, you are back."
After fighting for a while, Zhuzi quietly pulled Tang Xinyue aside and said proudly, "Sister-in-law Qi, let me tell you quietly that we all have the same surname as you."
"Tang Zhuzhu?" Tang Xinyue was dumbfounded.
"Then we have to call you sister from now on?" Zhuzi said with a pout.
He is a serious member of the seventh sister-in-law's family.
With this strange brain circuit, Tang Xinyue nodded Zhu Zhu's forehead, "It's better to call her Sister-in-law Seven."
It doesn't matter what you call it, the key is that it's easy to pronounce.
Besides, there are still six sisters-in-law in the Qi family, so we can't let the children feel distant and unfamiliar.
"I know." Zhuzi withdrew as if he had completed a huge task.
The most important thing has been completed. Sister-in-law Seven knows that his surname is Tang.
"By the way, Sister-in-law Qi, Brother Dongyi and the others also imitated my surname as Tang." Zhuzi turned back and said as if he wanted to take credit.
Hearing these strange words, Tang Xinyue was about to ask more questions when Zhuzi ran away again.
This child is becoming more and more out of shape.
But Tang Xinyue looked at it, and he liked being with Dong Yi and the others.
Even Cui Hao and the others, who are full of banditry, are not afraid of this guy.
Now that Zhuzi had made a choice for herself, Tang Xinyue also thought about telling her third brother to let them take care of these children too.
Now that Cui Hao and Xu Da have joined and can help with training, the ancient village will definitely be prosperous in the future.
Thinking that Mouse Village would become a paradise that everyone yearned for, Tang Xinyue's eyes shone with hope.
Chapter 142 Sending the Rats Away
From Qi Yunfeng's description, everyone knew the environment of the ancient village, and they all looked forward to it.
Of course, except for a few people who knew that the ancient village was infested with rats.
"These two days, we are still living on the big ship." Qi Yunfeng did not care about the worried eyes of the third brother and the others, and said, "The day after tomorrow, we will all stay in the ancient village."
Everyone cheered, who wants to stay in this small cabin if they can live in a spacious house.
Hearing Qi Yunfeng speak so confidently, Qi Yunyi breathed a sigh of relief.
Qi Zhengning and Qi Yunzhuo, like him, were completely relieved.
They all know that Qi Yunfeng will not say anything that he is not sure about.
Since he has set a time, he will definitely allow everyone to go to the Ancient Village that day.
Wang Song and Zou Xiaojun were also in a good mood.
If they settle in the ancient village the day after tomorrow, they can take a look before leaving.
Immediately, the crowd surrounding Qi Yunfeng dispersed.
When they first came to Qingshi County, they also wanted to see how this small county surrounded by mountains was different from other prefectures and counties.
The female relatives headed by the Mei family, the Gu family, the Gao family, and the Zhou family left the dock one after another, followed by Dong Yi and Zhu Zhu.
Dong Yi and others went mainly to protect Tang Xinyue's relatives and loved ones, while Zhu Zhu and the others went there purely for fun and excitement.
The group of people left in a grand manner, and most of the rest, except for the women who had to take care of their children and the women in cloaks, were men who didn't want to hang around.
They would rather watch people moving goods, getting on and off ships at the dock than walking aimlessly.
Tang Xinyue was extremely happy to see her mother following the crowd, as if she had completely forgotten her daughter.
After Guizhi came, my mother was obviously no longer so attached to her; later, after meeting the Qi family, my mother would look for her whenever she remembered, and forget about her if she couldn't.
At first, Tang Xinyue was obviously uncomfortable, but now she is completely fine.
Now that Mom has her own circle, she is completely different. As a daughter, she can also do things freely.
Everyone is very good at killing their time, which is much better than having to stay on the boat all the time.
The person who arranges the cooking will prepare it himself when the time comes.
People who go out for a stroll watch the time and come back to eat. After eating, we went out again. I almost had the sequelae of being on a boat.
The day passed by in a hurry, and after dinner, everyone was in a very good mood.
No longer tired of running around today, no longer anxious about having to rush again tomorrow, everyone's reverie about the destination has been implemented.
Their identities have also changed from prisoners exiled by the Chu Dynasty to villagers in a new place, but this place is not as prosperous as the capital.
But what does it matter?
Along the way, people who have experienced life and death threats, suffering from illness, and hunger understand better that safety, food and clothing are hard to come by.
Once it comes, make peace with it.
Now that we are settled, our foreign country is our hometown.
That night, after everyone returned to the cabin, Tang Xinyue opened the space door and came to the wooden bridge outside the ancient village with Qi Yunfeng.
During the day, they walked all the way. It took three hours to get here from the pier with the strength of ordinary people's feet.
The forty-mile journey will take longer for the elderly and children.
Shanggu Village is not only far away from Qingshi County, but also far away from other villages.
The nearest village is ten miles away from the ancient village.
Choosing to live in an ancient village is really equivalent to being isolated from the world.
But in Tang Xinyue's view, these are not problems.
As long as there are people around, every piece of desert land can become an oasis;
As long as there are people around, there will no longer be far distance between villages.
Looking at the quiet ancient village, Tang Xinyue sat down, closed her eyes, and began to mobilize her mental power.
Qi Yunfeng stood nearby, walking back and forth, his eyes always on Tang Xinyue.
Under the bright moonlight, they were the center of a ten-mile radius. Every movement and silence made the moon quietly come closer.
Tang Xinyue's mental power had already reached the big stone.
Those mice that were not active during the day were already jumping up and down at this time.
All the rats under the ground came up. Every wooden house in the village was covered with rats on the windowsills, tables, roof beams, and roofs.
During the day, you can still clearly see the large rocks exposed, but at this time they have all been submerged by rats.
Even the tree branches were crowded with scary little things.
This horrifying scene must have been seen by the invaders from the Western Plains and the Northern Territory. Otherwise, how could they, who always like to harass the ancient villages, be so honest?
Due to the rat plague in Shanggu Village, Qingshan County has not been invaded by two countries for many years.
Anyway, no matter what, the rats in this ancient village have advantages and disadvantages.
Tang Xinyue controlled two thick leaves and quietly walked towards the Mouse King under the big rock.
After arriving under the big rock, the soft leaves turned into hard blades under her control, causing the mice around them to give in.
Then, the blade began to dig into the soil, which made the originally vigilant Rat King excited, his eyes rolling.
After three or two strokes, the Rat King can move.
When it was about to rush out, the two blade-like leaves softened again and tied the Mouse King tightly like two long ropes.
No matter how it struggled, the two long ropes were indestructible. Then, they swam outward like two long snakes, all the way to the big river that separated the Western Plains and the Northern Territory.
The wind whistled in his ears, and the huge rat king was so frightened that he closed his eyes.
Later, the mice followed one after another, and they were about to squeeze into the river.
At this time, thousands of vines, leaves, and grass suddenly grew longer, larger, and harder, spreading straight out until they reached the enemy's land fifteen miles away.
Above the river, a bridge has been built with green plants.
The Mouse King followed the leaves that tied him to the other side of the river, and rats of all sizes also swarmed across the river.
In an instant, the rats over there were densely covered on the ground, and they were still seeping in.
Half an hour later, when there was not a single mouse on the rooftops, trees, or on the ground in the ancient village, the green plants that had crossed the river were swished back.
After Tang Xinyue once again confirmed that there was no rat in the ancient village, she released the tied rat king.
The body of the Mouse King is five times the size of an ordinary adult mouse, and it looks extremely terrifying.
The freed Mouse King glanced at the other side of the river wistfully, as if he wanted to turn around.
Tang Xinyue mobilized a long vine and swung it towards the other side of the river, frightening the rats into scattering and the Rat King having to flee forward.
In order to prevent them from turning around, the vines swung a dozen times until there was no mouse on the ground, and then they swished back.
Shanggu Village used to be harassed by the Western Plains and the Northern Territory all year round, and the people suffered terribly.
Now let these mice, who have enjoyed the blessings of the ancient village, visit these two countries and reciprocate courtesy no matter what.
Under the moon, the ancient village without rats looked extremely quiet.
The big stone was glowing with light and looked just like an ordinary stone.
However, after seeing the changes and spirituality of the mice with her own eyes, Tang Xinyue believed that this big stone must have a great background.
However, it was too late today. She had to come back tomorrow, clean it thoroughly, and then study the stone carefully.
Who is this person who is here to cause trouble?
Chapter 143 Cleaning Up
On the second day, after having breakfast, Tang Xinyue and Qi Yunfeng arrived at Shanggu Village early.
At this time, the ancient village seemed more peaceful and ethereal without the rampant rats.
Tang Xinyue took out the drone she bought at Gujin Pavilion last night, loaded it with specially formulated disinfectant, and flew it high into the sky under remote control.
Although Qi Yunfeng was already accustomed to her weird things, his eyes widened when he saw the little thing that could fly on its own.
This was simply beyond his imagination. The flapping wings and strange shape of the drone made him think it was an alien object.
Tang Xinyue didn't explain, even if it was explained, it would be difficult.
It's better to say nothing and be more mysterious anyway.
Drones dropped disinfectants intensively into Shanggu Village, and Tang Xinyue also pulled Qi Yunfeng back, a mile away from the village.
Some spraying should also be done around the ancient village, which is safer.
Before arriving yesterday, Tang Xinyue took out two detoxifying pills, one for each of her and Qi Yunfeng, and then they dared to approach the ancient village.
Everyone is coming over tomorrow, and everything here must be cleaned up today to ensure that none of the little ones are infected at all when they come over.
"It would be nice if it rained again." Tang Xinyue and Qi Yunfeng said one after another.
After the Shanggu Village is disinfected by drones, if God sends another rain, it will be even cleaner.
Qi Yunfeng looked at the sky above his head and said with a smile, "It's difficult to make it rain."
"When we go back later, we will send another team over to carry water and clean up. Then we can move in tomorrow." Tang Xinyue shrugged her shoulders.
Regardless of whether it rains or not, the inside of the wooden house must be thoroughly disinfected and cleaned.
A thorough cleaning in the afternoon is enough.
Half an hour later, the entire village's disinfection was roughly completed.
Tang Xinyue came closer and remotely controlled the drone to enter each wooden house for disinfection.
The houses here are distributed in a circle. Except for a large circular open space in the middle and a circle of open space on the outermost edge, there are wooden houses in the rest of the place. Disinfection is quite time-consuming.
Come to think of it, this ancient village must have had a large number of residents living there happily.
Tang Xinyue could imagine that in the morning and evening, the villagers of the ancient village would gather together in twos and threes to chat while holding a bowl.
There is also an open space outside. During the busy farming season, many villagers gather here to go about their business.
As for the inner open space, it is probably a place where villagers gather together during festivals or activities.
However, things have changed and people have changed, and this place is no longer what it used to be.
The drone was busy quickly, disinfecting one wooden house for about one to three minutes before moving on to the next one.
The house here is very simple, with a front yard, kitchen, side room, and main house. The main house is composed of a main room and two left and right rooms.
A house designed in this way can only accommodate a dozen people at most.
Unlike the house of Steward Qin's family in Kaizhou, it had a huge main house, east and west wing rooms, back rooms, front and back yards, and could easily accommodate two to three hundred people.
In ancient times, the village was vast and sparsely populated. I don't know which generation of Li Zheng or clan leader led the villagers to build such a house, which is comfortable and elegant, and does not occupy any land.
In this way, the predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoyed the shade, so forget them.
An hour later, all the wooden houses were disinfected.
Under Tang Xinyue's control, the drone came slowly and accurately landed in front of her.
This scene shocked Qi Yunfeng again.
In his opinion, this was such an outrageous method that an object could fly up and down like this.
But from beginning to end, he didn't even ask a curious word.
He understands that if he needs to know, he doesn't need to ask, his wife will take the initiative to tell him. It's useless to ask about things you shouldn't know, and you'll lose your identity, so why bother?
After the disinfection of the ancient village was completed, Tang Xinyue opened the space door and left quickly.
After returning, Tang Xinyue and Qi Yunfeng briefly explained the situation to Qi Zhengning.
So, Qi Zhengning summoned the heads of the three families and discussed that after lunch, the four families, except for the woman who had to take care of the baby, the cooks of each family, and the children like Zhuzi, would go to the ancient village. .
When the large army set off, although Zhu Zhu wanted to go, he had to follow Li Zheng's arrangements.
Fortunately, they could still tease the little ones, and looking at the innocent smiling faces, the loss of being abandoned on the big ship quickly dissipated.
Qi Zhengning took the lead and took the lead in everything.
He first led everyone to buy a mule cart. With so many people going to the ancient village, they naturally had to take a cart.
They heard that it would take a long time to get there just by walking, and they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to accomplish much.
So, at the carriage and horse shop, the Qi family bought thirty mule carts, and the Qiu, He, and Mao families each bought five carts.
If you want to settle here in the future, it will be more convenient to travel with a car.
Those three families no longer seem to be on the road of exile, reluctant to spend money to buy cars.
This time on the big ship, the three families made a total of nearly 500 velvet cloaks, which was also a considerable income.
Now that they can live together with the Qi family in the ancient village, they can no longer be stingy and lose their status.
Furthermore, they were already a big family in the capital. Now that they had money in their hands, although they were no longer as wealthy as before, they still had the attitude of living calmly.
The group of people drove the mule cart, talking and laughing, and soon arrived at the ancient village.
On the wooden bridge side, everyone looked at the well-proportioned village with green trees and blooming flowers from a distance. They were all so amazed that they couldn't move their eyes away.
Although this place does not have the prosperity of the capital, there is a simple and remote beauty in the tranquility. People who have been exiled thousands of miles seem to feel the call of home.
At first sight, they fell in love with it.
Tang Xinyue gave everyone a mask and asked everyone to wear it.
Although everyone didn't know why, they just did what they were told and just obeyed the instructions.
Stepping across the wooden bridge one by one and entering the village, everyone was amazed at the neatly planned paths, the courtyards with wooden house structures, and the blooming flowers.
This was simply beyond their expectations. The ancient village gave them a great surprise.
"Everyone, every place here needs to be swept with water. Every wooden house that can be wiped must be washed with water."
After crossing the bridge, Qi Zhengning gave instructions while directing everyone to get barrels and sweeping tools.
The houses in the ancient village are divided into five circles starting from the center. The innermost circle has 45 houses, the second circle has 54 houses, the third circle has 63 houses, and the fourth circle has 72 houses. , there are eighty-one rooms in the outermost area.
There are a total of 315 houses in the ancient village.
These 315 houses are divided into nine large sectors by the topography of the ancient village, with thirty-five houses in each sector.
"A group of five people share a house. We have finished cleaning so we can go back early for dinner." Qi Zhengning said loudly.
"Did you hear what Li Zheng said? Hurry up and clean it up. If I can't keep the room where you were lazy, I'll share it with you." Qi Yunyi shouted.
Everyone laughed and started to work.
Chapter 144: Dividing Houses
While everyone was busy with their work, Qi Zhengning took the Mei family, Gu family, Gao family and the heads and matrons of those three families to check the environment in and outside the village one by one.
Tang Xinyue and Qi Yunfeng took the lead in carrying water. Seeing them like this, everyone rushed to work.
Qi Yunyi, Qi Yunzhuo, and their six sisters-in-law also worked hard to clean. Seeing these unique wooden houses made them very motivated.
Cui Hao and Xu Da have tied their fate to that of the Qi family, and they are also imagining the days when they will live here for a long time.
Dong Yi and the others are even more excited, this will be their true home.
After leaving Ningyuan Hou Mansion, Guizhi and Tang Kai had been wandering for twelve years. Now that they could finally settle down, they both breathed a long sigh of relief.
The other three families worked harder and followed the Qi family, and they really had a good life.
When I arrived at the exile, the most worrying thing was the place to live.
If I were assigned to another village alone, I don't know how I would be ostracized, and I don't know if there would be a tile-roofed house to protect me from the wind and rain.
With Ding Qijia, they can have nothing to worry about.
There is great strength in numbers. Everyone worked together and focused their efforts in one place. In nearly an hour, all the houses were cleaned.
Qi Zhengning was very satisfied with the instructions being completed so quickly, and ordered everyone to flush all the roads, paths, flowers, plants and trees in the village with water.
It wasn't until Tang Xinyue nodded that Qi Zhengning announced the end of the work, "Everyone has worked hard today. After dinner, we will arrange to share the house."
"Ah..." Everyone cheered, and even Tang Xinyue was quite affected.
These houses, in future generations, will all be proper small villas!
With the support of big stones, these wooden houses still looked like new. Except for the poor toilet outside the house, the rest satisfied Tang Xinyue.
Others, who have been exiled here and have done nothing but clean up, are able to have a house to live in, waving their arms happily.
On the way back, Tang Xinyue was thinking about the big stone.
Just now, when she was carrying water to rinse, she looked carefully and found that the big stone was no different from an ordinary stone.
Unwilling to give in, she mobilized her mental power, but still found no abnormality.
Even the spiritual power fluctuations of the big stone that I checked yesterday were not there at all.
Could it be that the Rat King has spiritual power?
Tang Xinyue couldn't laugh or cry for a moment. Could it be that she made a mistake and sent the Rat King with special skills into the enemy's country.
Otherwise, without the big stone of the Mouse King, it would be just ordinary?
But no, yesterday I clearly felt the source of spiritual power, which was a big stone.
Upon discovering this strange phenomenon, Tang Xinyue could only sigh.
However, when she decided to put the big stone into the space and study it carefully, she found that the big stone could not be put in.
Even if the bottom is loosened, the big stone remains motionless.
In this case, Tang Xinyue didn't blame herself so much.
There is still something strange about this big stone, and it has nothing to do with the Rat King.
Thinking about this strange thing, Tang Xinyue couldn't help but frown.
"What's going on?" Qi Yunfeng caught her emotional changes.
"I'll tell you tomorrow." Tang Xinyue immediately changed her facial expression.
For a while, on the mule cart, it was hard to talk about it.
She realized that she had not managed her facial expression well just now, which made Qi Yunfeng worried.
She would move it here tomorrow, and the big boulder wouldn't be able to escape. It would give her more time to study it, so she let go of the matter.
After the group returned to the dock, they rested for a quarter of an hour, and everyone's meals were served on the dining table.
Thinking about dividing the house after dinner, everyone followed the agreement and ate very quickly without any procrastination.
After cleaning up the dining table, Qi Zhengning took a pen and paper and drew a map of the distribution of houses in the ancient village.
After a few clicks, the ancient village suddenly appeared on the page.
Between the two large and small circles, there are nine fan shapes, which well draw the distribution of various houses and make it clear at a glance.
Qi Zhengning asked the heads of the three families to choose the house first. How could the three old men choose first if they knew that Li Zheng was being polite to them?
They repeatedly shied away and just let the Qi family distribute the money.
"Okay, I'm not polite, I will allocate it to everyone." Qi Zhengning glanced at everyone and said.
Tang Xinyue and Qi Yunfeng had already discussed with him how to distribute it.
Therefore, Qi Zhengning divided the Qi family into four sectors, one for each of the three families.
The remaining two sector-shaped areas are reserved for use.
The heads of the three families all looked at each other, full of surprise.
Thirty-five houses in a fan-shaped area were owned by one family, so they were delighted.
As for the Qijia occupying four sectors, they had no objection at all.
After all, Qi has a large family.
Furthermore, they all benefited from the Qi family. The Qi family has many houses, so that's as it should be.
After chatting for a few minutes, the three family heads suppressed their excitement and separated into three houses to arrange for their families to live in which building.
The Qi family must continue to make arrangements for everyone.
This time, Qi Zhengning stopped coming forward and directly gave the right to speak to Tang Xinyue.
So, Tang Xinyue began to distribute.
The first fan-shaped area, plus the fifteen houses in the second fan-shaped area, a total of fifty houses, were allocated to Cui Hao and Xu Da.
Cui Hao and Xu Da were shocked when they saw their names marked on the house one by one.
They have been in the military all year round and are used to brothers living together. They thought that a few people would be divided into one room, but they did not expect that they would still be treated like this.
"Seventh younger brother and sister, we are some rough guys, there is no need to waste it."
"Yes, Sister-in-law Seven, it will be fine if five or six of us live in one room. It will be lively."
...
They all stated that they really did not want to be separated.
"Brothers, you can live wherever you want, don't be so nagging." Qi Yunyi said angrily.
"Brothers, this arrangement is very meaningful." Qi Yunfeng said gently.
"No, we are not considering it..." Cui Hao wanted to explain, but when he saw Qi Yunzhuo winking at him, he immediately stopped speaking.
"Everyone, if you think the house is too big, you don't have to live in it." Tang Xinyue said with a smile, "But if you don't have your own house, no girl will be willing to marry you."
Upon hearing this, Cui Hao and the others were completely quiet.
They have been fighting for many years without ever thinking about their life-long affairs.
Until now, all of them are very old and still single.
When Tang Xinyue said this, they immediately figured out the meaning, and everyone smiled sheepishly.
"Sister-in-law Seven's arrangements are naturally good." Xu Da quickly expressed his stance.
His future marriage might involve his seventh sister-in-law.
Then, it was Dong Yi's turn.
The twenty houses in the second fan-shaped area, the thirty houses in the third sector, and a total of fifty houses are all marked with the names of young people.
Seeing their names on the list, Dong Yi and the others became uneasy.
Seeing Cui Hao's reaction just now, these teenagers still had a somewhat irrelevant attitude.
After all, they were still young, and the brothers had lived together since childhood. They never thought that they would be separated into separate houses.
Dong Yiyi wanted to say something, but when he thought of what Sister-in-law Qi said about Brother Cui and the others, and when he saw Qi Lan blinking at him, he fell silent.
Faintly, Dong Yi felt that he was getting closer to his dream life.
Chapter 145: One person in a big house, how lonely
Staring at the house with his name written on it, Dong Yi's eyes were slightly red.
He was once trapped in the depths of darkness and didn't know where to find his way out. He never thought that he could buy a house, marry and have children like normal people.
When he saw the brothers around him, there was a slightly different glimmer in their eyes.
Today's life is hard-won, and they still remember the morning that changed their destiny.
Following Sister-in-law Seven was the most correct decision they had ever made.
Bei Yi stepped forward and patted Dong Yi on the shoulder.
In the past, when they were in the Death Soldier Camp, the relationship between the two of them was already good.
After coming to Qi's house, the two of them had a better understanding of each other because of Qi Lan and Shen Qiuyue.
Dong Yi and Bei Yi are both unafraid of hardship and death, and have righteous characters, which makes them both admired by their brothers.
The difference is that Dong Yi is more reserved and doesn't cause trouble. Bei Yi showed his sharpness and caused trouble even when he was innocent, which made him suffer even more frustrations in the Death Soldier Camp.
After arriving at Qi's house, Bei Yi never caused any trouble.
At first, Dong Yi was afraid that this thorn would be like the one in the Death Soldiers Camp, that he would be so arrogant that he would never die.
Surprisingly, after leaving the death camp, Bei Yi seemed to be a changed person. Not only did he not cause trouble, he even obeyed orders better than him.
In this way, Dong Yi regards Bei Yi as a confidant.
In the past, Bei Yi simply expressed his anger on his behalf. Nowadays, Bei Yi cherishes his current life more than him.
Dong Yi looked towards Bei Yi and smiled slightly.
Having a brother like this in your life, no matter where you are, is a great blessing in life.
Shen Qiuyue gazed at Bei Yi lovingly, not shying away from the fact that this look would burn others.
In front of her, it seemed that Bei Yi was the only one, and the other people were all standing there, big and small trees.
For some reason, the longer she spent with Bei Yi, the deeper she felt herself sinking.
At this time, she no longer cared about Bei Yi's identity, status, or wealth, she only cared about him as a person.
Beiyi has a house, and when things fall into place, they will definitely get married.
Moreover, she believed that Sister-in-law Seven would be happy for them.
What she thought about in the past, a wealthy family, was now not as important as Bei Yi's smile in her eyes.
She began to laugh at how superficial she used to be. All the jewels and jewels put together were not as noble and dazzling as a pair of people.
Qi Mengzhi waved her hand in front of Shen Qiuyue's eyes, "Qiuyue, where are you wandering to?"
Now Qi Mengzhi and Qi Lan are accustomed to calling her Qiuyue. That's because Bei Yi said that calling her Qiuyue seems more tender and pleasant.
"Mengzhi." Shen Qiuyue smiled sheepishly.
Next, the remaining five houses in the first circle of the third fan-shaped area were allocated to Mei Gu, Qi Zhengning and Gao, the eldest sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law, Qi Yunyi and the third sister-in-law.
The fourth fan-shaped area, the five houses in the first circle, are the fourth sister-in-law, the fifth sister-in-law, Qi Yunzhuo, the sixth sister-in-law, and Qi Heming.
Among the six houses in the second circle, three belong to Qi Yunfeng and Tang Xinyue, Tang Kai and Guizhi, as well as eight girls, Gu Shi and Xiaohua.
The other three rooms were empty, and Tang Xinyue still left them to her grandfather and the others.
The seven houses in the third circle include one for Chen Rui, one for Zhu Zhu and his twenty boys, and one for Qi Lan, Qi Mengzhi and Shen Qiuyue.
The remaining four rooms, as well as the eight rooms in the fourth circle and the nine outermost rooms, are temporarily vacant.
Tang Xinyue thought that after her grandfather and the others came, more people could live in the empty house here.
There was also Mrs. Qi who was arranged to live with Mrs. He's family.
The Qi family pays Yueyin every month and arranges for the He family to take care of Mrs. Qi.
In this way, the whole family is allocated in place.
There are so many people in the Qi family, and the place where they eat together is in Mei's house.
The cooks were still the women from the three families whom I had invited on the way to exile.
After settling down, there was still money to be made, and the women were very happy.
After finishing what they had to explain, Zhuzi and the others were the happiest.
"Brother Dong Yi, my brothers and I are not separated, but you can't do it. We are all separated, haha..." Zhu Zhu made a face and showed off in front of Dong Yi.
"You brat, you're still so angry." Dong Yi laughed angrily at him.
"That's right, look at you, each of you, living in a big house, how lonely you are!" Zhuzi pursed his lips and spoke the truth in his heart.
When Dongyi heard this, he looked at Qi Lan, dumbfounded.
Qi Lan glared at Zhu Zhu and thought: If you call for help later, I will ignore you.
When she was about to watch Zhu Zhu and Dong Yi fight again and again, she found that someone stood up for them.
"Hey, Zhu Zhu, come here." Seeing the disgust on Zhu Zhu's face, Xu Da wanted to beat him up.
Little brat, what do you know?
"If you don't come here, you won't come here." The pillar twisted back and forth.
"Brothers, catch him and beat him." Xu Da pretended to arrest him.
Zhuzhu was startled. So many tall and powerful people were surrounding him. He hurriedly shouted, "Help, someone is going to beat the child."
With their commotion, people who were already in a good mood started making noises and watching them, adults and children milling around.
The next day, before dawn, those who had arranged to go shopping today got up early.
The four families gathered together and headed to the market.
When they came back, everyone's breakfast was ready.
After having the last meal on the big ship, everyone started to pack up and headed off the ship.
Early on, Qi Yunfeng entrusted the big ship to the dock steward to take care of it. Spending some money would make it safer.
"Let's go." Qi Zhengning gave the order, and the group headed towards Shanggu Village in a mighty manner.
Elderly people, women with children, and young children all rode in mule carts, and everyone except the driver followed.
After all, although it was a long way from the dock to the ancient village, it was nothing to them who had walked on the Exile Road.
What's more, this journey is the way home for them.
It is no longer a painful rush, and it is no longer a sight to the end, but full of joy and laughter all the way.
As soon as they set off, Wang Song, Zou Xiaojun and the others came up to them.
Everyone was very happy to see these official officials.
After all, if they had been replaced by other vicious and vicious officials along the way, they might not have had it so easy.
Seeing Wang Song and the others at this time, the four families felt like they had met fellow victims who had experienced life and death together, and they were very warm and kind.
After exchanging a few words, everyone set off on the road again.
When Wang Song and the others arrived, it felt like they were being escorted.
However, everyone knew in their hearts that this time, it was a proper escort.
The group of people talked from time to time, and the atmosphere at this time was completely different from usual.
They didn't rest for a moment on the way, heading straight to the ancient village.
After walking a long way and stepping onto the wooden bridge, Wang Song and Zou Xiaojun were stunned when they saw the beautiful environment of Shanggu Village.
Chapter 146 The weirdness of the big stone
They have traveled all over the country for many years, and this is the first time they have seen such a picturesque village.
They, who already admired Qi's family, had to be impressed by their wisdom once again.
Wang Song knew better that all this should be related to Tang Xinyue.
He always felt that it was precisely because of Tang Xinyue that the Qi family, whose home was confiscated, had such good luck.
Looking at the rows of wooden houses in front of him, he even had an impulse in his heart to settle here.
"This place is so nice, boss, I want to live here." An official came up to Wang Song and sighed.
"Boss, so am I. I haven't even owned a tile until now. They are exiled here, one house at a time."
"Yes, boss, I heard that the Qi family wants as many people to live here as possible."
...
The four families had already crossed the wooden bridge and walked into the village, leaving a group of officials here to indulge their imagination.
Wang Song listened to what his brothers said, but he didn't want to do this.
"Go, follow."
But some things cannot be thought of as simply as that.
Even if they want to come, they have to wait until they return to the capital and then step down from their official positions before they can come here.
Of course, this matter must be settled with the Qi family first.
Wang Song had a plan in mind, "You can sign up with Brother Jun and see who wants to come."
"Hey, okay." Some people replied excitedly.
Although this place is far away from the capital and not so prosperous, no one knows that when you are poor in the downtown area, no one cares about you, but when you are rich in the mountains, people know you.
If they settle down here, there is no guarantee that one day they will also become wealthy.
"Brother Jun, count me in."
"Brother Jun, I'm coming too."
...
Many officials are willing to stay here the first time they see the ancient village.
More importantly, they also witnessed the development of the Qi family, and the process of the other three families following the Qi family, from suffering to happiness.
In a short time, except for those who really could not leave their hometown, twenty people had reported their names to Zou Xiaojun and were willing to settle in the ancient village.
"You must not be in a hurry about this matter. I will discuss it with the Qi family later and then decide." Wang Song saw everyone's impatience and could only remind him.
He looked at these twenty people. They were all from poor families, and they had no spare money to build houses for them and find wives.
Now they knew that in the ancient village, as long as men over fourteen years old lived in a house, they were jealous.
They work as official errands, which is hard work. They work exhaustingly for a lifetime, and they may not be able to build a house in the capital.
But as long as you are willing to come here, everything will be completely different.
Wang Song also thought about it and went back to persuade the whole family to come here.
Although he didn't know what the future situation of this ancient village would be, at this moment, he was willing to travel thousands of miles and drag his family with him to come here.
Seeing that the people in front were all moving away, Wang Song quickly waved to everyone to follow.
In the village, everyone moved things to their homes according to what was allocated yesterday.
"Yue'er, Feng'er, why is there such a big stone at the door of your house?" Mrs. Gu saw a big stone standing on the right side of the door of their house and asked with a frown.
"Mom, it's nice to have this stone here. You can sit on it when you come out." Tang Xinyue said with a careless smile.
"That's not possible." Gu was unwilling and said with some worry, "I'm afraid if this big stone is placed here, it will trip my feet."
She actually wanted to say that she was afraid that the big rocks would ruin the owner's luck.
But since I just moved here, it's hard to say anything unlucky, so I can only be more tactful.
"Mom, don't worry, it won't happen." Tang Xinyue smiled.
"Third Sister, these two are more skilled than anyone else, how can we hold them back?" Guizhi pulled Gu to distract her, "Come on, Third Sister, let us help you clean up first."
"Okay, let's go." Gu thought that what Guizhi said made sense, so she ignored it.
Although she doesn't have many things, she still needs to put them away and get familiar with the house.
Children like Xiaohua have already wanted to go in and have a look. At this time, they walked in surrounded by Gu.
After Tang Xinyue saw Gu and the others entering the house, they came to the big stone and sat down peacefully.
The exposed part of this big stone is square and as high as a low stool. It is simply a big natural stool.
"You sit down for a while, I'll go clean it up."
Qi Yunfeng saw that she seemed to be studying the big stone, and immediately started to get things inside alone.
Tang Xinyue discussed with him that they would go to the county town tomorrow to rent an idle house.
Take out the things that your mother and sister-in-law had stored in front of the capital, place them there, and then send someone there to transport them back.
Therefore, when they came here this time, they didn't buy anything.
Qi Yunfeng went in and placed the items. When he came out, he saw Tang Xinyue already on the stone, meditating with her eyes closed.
Her expression was focused, as if she had completely entered a meditative state.
Qi Yunfeng walked to the side of the big stone, sat down on a relatively smaller stone, and stayed with him quietly.
When Mrs. Gu packed up and led a group of children out into Guizhi's house, she found them both sitting at the door. When she was about to ask, she found Qi Yunfeng gesturing to her.
Immediately, Gu Shi understood and stopped caring about them.
When a daughter is older and has her own life, a mother can't worry about it for the rest of her life.
Fortunately, I have a caring son-in-law who can take good care of my daughter.
Mrs. Gu understands that letting go is the greatest love for her daughter. Her daughter is no longer the little girl she used to be.
At this time, Tang Xinyue's mental energy was all stuck in the big stone.
At first, her mental power couldn't get into the big stone and kept wandering on the surface.
Fortunately, when she redirected her mental power and turned it into a thin and long thread, she finally penetrated through a small crack on the surface of the big stone.
However, in the big stone, the spiritual power moves very slowly, constantly looking for gaps and twists and turns.
In this way, half an hour later, when Tang Xinyue walked around with her mental power, she suddenly discovered that there was something inside.
If Tang Xinyue hadn't used her mental power to travel so strenuously inside, no matter how carefully Tang Xinyue observed outside the big stone, she wouldn't be able to see any flaws.
Speaking of which, I have to thank the Rat King for this, all of this can be regarded as his great achievements.
However, when Tang Xinyue tried to figure out what was inside, she couldn't move forward no matter how hard she tried.
Although she didn't know what was inside, she was already certain that the spiritual power she captured yesterday came from this unknown quantity.
Slowly, Tang Xinyue mobilized her mental power to follow the trajectory over and over again, hoping to find any entry point.
But all this was not as easy as when she entered the big rock. After searching for ten times, she still found nothing.
Chapter 147 The Third Condition
After searching for a long time without any results, Tang Xinyue could only give up temporarily.
After all, she discovered the secret in the big stone, so she found nothing.
Once there is a breakthrough, clues will gradually be discovered.
She opened her eyes and saw Qi Yunfeng walking over from a distance, holding the food box he had brought for her.
When meal time arrived, she was still sitting in meditation, so Qi Yunfeng asked Gu and the others to go over to eat first and bring her some food back.
Qi Yunfeng didn't eat on the spot. He went back to the house and brought out a small table, sat on the stone bench and ate with Tang Xinyue.
Tang Xinyue was from a later generation and Qi Yunfeng was a soldier. They did not have as many eating rules as the children of aristocratic families.
Coupled with the fact that they were exiled all the way, the two of them became more and more independent.
When Gu and the others came back, they felt a little distressed when they saw the two of them eating like this.
After all, they only joined the influx group in Kaizhou. At that time, there was a century-old ship to ride on, and they ate in large cabins.
I can't help but look down upon them for being so shabby.
"Third sister, I want us to cook for ourselves." Guizhi suggested.
Once Qi's family was around, the three of them always felt like outsiders.
Secondly, seeing Gu Shi looking at Yue'er distressedly, she felt that she should do more.
"Guizhi, wait a little longer." Gu Shi shook his head, "It's just a transitional period now. Slowly there will be more people, and everything will change again."
If they were to be special, it would make it difficult to do Yue'er; besides, Mrs. Gu thought that after her parents came over, it would be up to her parents to make the decision.
"Mom, why did you finish eating so quickly?" Qi Yunfeng asked.
Why does he feel that if he steps forward, the others will come out?
"We are not hungry, so we eat less." Gu Shi smiled, "You eat, and we go back to the house first."
She refrained from preaching to them and left as if running away.
If she stayed a little longer, she was afraid that she would nag again.
Tang Xinyue looked at the way Gu looked at her and smiled.
"Mom must think I don't look like a lady."
"You are really no different from a village woman." Qi Yunfeng said with a smile.
When Wang Song and Zou Xiaojun came over, they didn't think anything of it when they saw them sitting in front of the door eating.
There is also a small table with two stone stools, and the treatment is already very good.
Tang Xinyue and Qi Yunfeng had already finished their meal, but they were just sitting and chatting for a while. When they saw them coming, they stood up quickly.
"Master Wang, Master Zou, you are here. Come on, please come inside." Qi Yunfeng stretched out his hand and opened the ajar door.
"Okay." The two of them were not polite and strode in.
It's a good time to take a look and see if the structures inside the houses are all the same.
When they had dinner at Mei's place before, they felt that the house was nice and suitable for a family to live in.
Now looking at Qi Yunfeng's house, which is the same as Gu's house, they both nodded with satisfaction.
Entering the main lobby, they looked at the furnishings inside, which were almost the same as Mei's, which further strengthened their idea of coming here to seek refuge.
After sitting down, Wang Song spoke first.
"Sister, you saved me before and I promised you three conditions. Two of them have been fulfilled. What is the third one?"
"Wang Guanye still remembers it, he really means what he says!" Tang Xinyue said with a smile.
"I'm going back to Beijing today. I'm afraid if I don't say it, I won't have the chance to fulfill it in the future." Wang Song and Zou Xiaojun looked at each other and laughed heartily.
"Master Wang, didn't we entrust you with five hundred cloaks yesterday and take them to Manager Qin of the Kaizhou Garment Store? Doesn't this count as one?"
Tang Xinyue estimated that when Wang Song and the others arrived in Kaizhou, Manager Qin should return to Kaizhou.
If everything goes well, he should already be the governor of Kaizhou.
After all, when she was in Kaizhou, she told Manager Qin that the world would change, and he understood it very well.
"It doesn't count." Wang Song waved his hand, "This is just a way to take it."
"Okay." The smile on Tang Xinyue's face disappeared and she said seriously, "Then please ask Mr. Wang and Mr. Zou to help me find an old friend and send him to the ancient village after they return to the capital."
After saying that, she and Qi Yunfeng looked at each other.
"Okay." Wang Song agreed, feeling very excited.
He could tell that this was Tang Xinyue's disguised invitation to him.
Zou Xiaojun adjusted his sitting posture to make himself look less restless.
"Of course, after arriving, if you want to stay, we will welcome you with applause. If you want to leave, I will give you a good fortune."
Tang Xinyue made her words clear, and really wanted to bring her family over.
After all, the journey is long and not easy to travel.
When it comes to this matter, as for how to make a decision, of course it is left to them.
"Brother Qi, sister, there is only so much space in this ancient village. Aren't you afraid that too many people will come and you won't be able to live in it?" Zou Xiaojun asked weakly.
There are twenty brothers registered under his name. What if they come over excitedly with their families and no longer have a house?
After all, it takes a lot of time for them to go back and forth.
During this period, many people must have come first. The houses are divided into houses, and it is also a first-come, first-served basis.
"Zou Guancha, you see there is a lot of land here and can support many tents." Qi Yunfeng said solemnly.
Haha... Wang Song and Zou Xiaojun laughed.
It was a serious joke, no matter how much they tried to hold it back, they couldn't hold it back.
This was funny, but it also reassured them.
After all, as long as people come, they won't have to worry about having a place to live.
"Sister, where does the person you are looking for live? What's his name?" After the four of them joked, Wang Song brought the topic back.
"It's my former personal maid Pearl."
Tang Xinyue didn't know the specific place name of Pearl's family, but Wang Song knew the general location.
Furthermore, go and inquire, the locals will definitely know about the maid who used to be the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion.
"Sister, I'm not familiar with that Pearl, how can she trust me?" Wang Song said anxiously.
After all, how could a grown-up girl trust him and go with him?
"Master Wang, wait a moment."
Tang Xinyue stood up, went into the inner room, took out a baggage and a water bag from the space, walked out, and put them on the table in front of Wang Song.
"Master Wang, after you find the person, if you take out this object, the pearl will definitely come to the ancient village with you."
"Okay, big sister." Wang Song picked up the baggage and put it on his shoulders, "Zhenzhu is the girl who came to see you off when you left Beijing?"
Seeing Tang Xinyue's burden, Wang Song naturally remembered the day when Pearl came to see her off.
There were so many people in the exile group, but only one person came to see her off. It really made him remember that little girl who looked timid but was extremely brave.
"Exactly, Wang Guanye has a good memory." Tang Xinyue praised.
Wang Song was a man of temperament, she could tell from the beginning.
Otherwise, if it were any other treacherous, lustful, and naughty person, she would definitely not come to his rescue when he was poisoned.
Wang Song sighed, "That girl is indeed lucky."
"It's a big thank you to Mr. Wang," Tang Xinyue said in thanks with her hands in hand.
"Don't worry, sister, I will definitely send that girl to the ancient village unscathed." After saying that, Wang Songzhan and Zou Xiaojun stood up almost at the same time and said goodbye to them both.
After sending them off, Qi Yunfeng smiled and said, "If I had known better, I should have taken that girl with me."
"It's okay, the time is just right now." After saying that, Tang Xinyue smiled bitterly.
Chapter 148 Mo Yukun
Tang Xinyue and Qi Yunfeng talked for a while, and the two decided to go to Qingshan County now, find an unused house, and put the Qi family's supplies in the space.
Afterwards, Qi Yunfeng went to close the door. When he came back, Tang Xinyue had opened the space door, and he stepped in with ease.
In Qingshan County, two people appeared on a remote street.
They didn't know anyone in this county town, so they decided to go to the teahouse to sit first. There were many people there and there were a lot of gossips.
When I walked to a crowded street, I happened to see a very busy teahouse diagonally opposite, with applause bursting out from time to time.
The two decided to go to this one and strode over.
"Everyone, the Chu Dynasty has already had a new emperor. The current emperor is none other than the former King Rui and the current Emperor Yuan Ling."
As soon as I entered, I heard the storyteller talking about this royal incident.
Tang Xinyue and Qi Yunfeng looked at each other. It seemed that they had stayed away from worldly affairs for more than twenty days on the boat. The news that the Chu Dynasty had a new emperor had already been known to the whole country.
They paid and found a seat by the window.
They were not interested in hearing about this Chu Dynasty matter, they just wanted to see if they could meet a suitable person to help them with things.
"You two, is this your first time back?"
A spectator next to him couldn't help but asked curiously when he saw that the two of them were not interested in listening to the book and were just looking out the window.
Tang Xinyue and Qi Yunfeng turned around and saw that he was dressed in blue and had straight facial features. He looked like a scholar at first glance.
Seeing Qi Yunfeng and the others looking at him, the man quickly introduced himself, "I'm Mo Yukun, a native of Wen County. I lost my loved ones because of the sudden death of my hometown, so I decided to travel around and make friends all over the world."
Mo Yukun saw that Qi Yunfeng and Qi Yunfeng both had good looks and extraordinary bearing, so he wanted to make friends.
"A person from Wen County?" Tang Xinyue asked in shock, "I heard that many people died in that disaster."
"Tens of thousands of people died." Mo Yukun sighed, "There is no mercy for natural disasters. Fortunately, people from King Rui came to rescue the disaster."
"Did you happen to be in Wen County when King Rui's people came?" Tang Xinyue asked curiously.
"Just in time. At that time, when King Rui's people came, they helped us dig out the soil to save people. What a wise master!" Mo Yukun said, raising his hands.
"That is, when the current emperor was still a prince, he won the hearts of the people." Tang Xinyue said lightly.
Then, she said to Qi Yunfeng, "By the way, I remembered that we still have to find new people for our family. Don't be late, the shop is closed."
"Hurry up then." Qi Yunfeng stood up and held his hands towards Mo Yukun, "Brother Mo, let's say goodbye first and see you later."
"You two go slowly, see you later." Mo Yukun stood up and saw each other off.
Watching them leave, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Could it be that they saw something?"
After leaving the teahouse, Qi Yunfeng asked, "What? Did you notice something unusual about that person?"
"Yes, he is definitely not from Wen County." Tang Xinyue said firmly.
When they took Dong Yi and others to provide disaster relief in Wenxian County, the people of Wenxian County paid more attention to the fact that God was helping them.
After all, Tang Xinyue's use of supernatural powers to rescue people buried underground was beyond human power in the eyes of everyone.
After Hua Rui's dealings, they left Wen County and let King Rui's people take over the aftermath.
Although King Rui did contribute a lot to Wen County's disaster relief, Mo Yukun's expression was too indifferent, not like what a person in Wen County who had personally experienced the disaster should be like.
"Then why did he pretend to be from Wen County?" Qi Yunfeng asked doubtfully.
He could somewhat tell that something was wrong with Mo Yukun, but he couldn't understand why this man had to say this.
"Do you still remember that night I told you that Cui Hao and the others said that the people of Southern Xinjiang were looking for their eldest prince?" Tang Xinyue said.
When he discovered that Mo Yukun was telling lies and looked at his manner of speaking, his first reaction was that he should be from southern Xinjiang.
After all, his accent didn't sound like a local's, so he said he was from Wenxian County.
"They even come to the remote Qingshan County. It seems that there are people from Southern Xinjiang everywhere in the Chu Dynasty." Qi Yunfeng sighed.
There are so many detailed works in the Great Chu Dynasty, in the name of asking about the eldest prince, but in fact, many things will be clearly discovered by them.
Regardless of whether they find the eldest prince of Southern Xinjiang or not, it will be an extremely unfavorable thing for the Chu Dynasty.
Unless, the eldest prince who grew up in the Chu Dynasty became the queen of Southern Xinjiang, remembered his old feelings and could live in peace with the Chu Dynasty.
But this is just a beautiful imagination. Who knows, where is the eldest prince? Even if you find it, can you inherit the country? Now that you have really become the King of Southern Xinjiang, will you never forget your roots?
This was an unpredictable thing. After chatting for a while, the two quickly got down to business.
Just as she was talking, Tang Xinyue felt a familiar aura coming from behind.
Soon, Qi Yunfeng also caught it.
"Why don't we come over tomorrow and put the supplies directly on the big ship and let people come to the ship to pick them up." Qi Yunfeng suggested.
"That's fine." Tang Xinyue agreed.
Tonight, she bought some cloth bags in Gujin Pavilion to put all the things in them for easy access.
After they looked at each other, they pretended not to know anything and went to a pastry shop on the street.
After buying some osmanthus cakes and chestnut cakes, they went to the clothing store next door.
After coming out, they went directly to the back of the street.
When Mo Yukun quickly followed up, he found that the two of them had disappeared.
Running so fast? Qinggong is so amazing. Mo Yukun was horrified at the moment.
He wants to follow someone, but he has never lost track of him.
In southern Xinjiang, he considers himself second in Qinggong, and no one dares to call him first.
But now, meeting his opponent in the Great Chu Dynasty really surprised and delighted him.
It's not unfair for him to have his clues discovered like this.
He planned to leave Qingshan County tomorrow, but decided to stay for a few more days to see who Qi Yunfeng and the others were. Why is it so great?
Ancient village.
Tang Xinyue and Qi Yunfeng both had a bad premonition when they returned to their homes.
"It seems that we are being targeted." Tang Xinyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
If you're not looking for the eldest prince, why are you keeping an eye on them?
"Just in time, I also want to meet these people from southern Xinjiang." Qi Yunfeng was a soldier after all, and he couldn't tolerate sand in his eyes.
If he were to find out that people from southern Xinjiang were doing evil in Da Chu, he would not be lenient.
"How about we also look for the eldest prince?" Tang Xinyue rolled her eyes and said with a smile.
"How easy is it to find the eldest prince?" Qi Yunfeng thought it was a good idea, "Do you have any good ideas?"
The people of southern Xinjiang have not found it for so long, so where should they start?
The former Queen of Southern Xinjiang and her family are dead, and the whereabouts of her loyal servants are unknown. They may also be dead. After so long, no one knows what the eldest prince looks like or whether he has any tokens on him.
Chapter 149 School Training
Qi Yunfeng believed that since his wife said this, she might be able to find the eldest prince.
"There is no good way at the moment. It really doesn't work. Then we will go to southern Xinjiang."
Tang Xinyue doesn't plan to go now. After all, the matter about Big Stone has not been clarified, the ancient village is not yet in order, she still has to find her grandfather, and Pearl has not come yet.
Things like this have not been resolved yet. Regarding the matter of the eldest prince of Southern Xinjiang, we can only wait and see when she is in a better mood and go there again.
Tang Xinyue glanced at the time in space. It was only three o'clock in the afternoon.
After the two went out for a walk, they found that everyone had something to do.
The flannel cloak has been finished, Chen Rui has handed out all the imitation wool cloth, and everyone has started working on it.
Mrs. Gu was working seriously in the yard with Guizhi.
The cloaks made on the big ship had already earned each of them twenty taels.
When you come to Shanggu Village, you don't have to rush, so you can pass the time by doing embroidery work.
Xiaohua led several older children and followed her.
The younger children play everywhere by themselves. It's no longer like being on the road here, where you need to keep an eye on it.
On Mei's side, seven mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had gathered in her courtyard; on Gao's side, Qi Mengzhi, Qi Lan, and Shen Qiuyue were all quietly making cloaks.
Qi Lan knew that by doing one more thing and earning an extra tael of silver, he would have more foundation for getting married in the future.
Although they have settled down now, they are not the same people as before.
Along the way, she has learned how to do things by herself and have enough food and clothing.
Shen Qiuyue has a full moon beside her. Although she is not as desperate as Qi Lan, she will not let herself fall behind others.
Qi Mengzhi makes cloaks purely because she wants to make more money.
In the past, when she was in the capital, she saw that her mother was always doing embroidery work to support the family, and she wanted to help, but her mother wouldn't allow her.
On the way to exile, my mother asked her to help.
Now that she has finally settled down, there is no reason not to let her do it.
Seeing that both the two good sisters have their loved ones, but not myself, I felt a little anxious.
She felt like she didn't have anyone she liked, and she didn't know who liked her.
For this reason, she was very distressed.
Last time, she saw Chen Rui chatting with Sister-in-law Seven for a long time.
Before the chat, Chen Rui looked very depressed; after the chat, he felt much more alive.
Qi Mengzhi felt that she would have to talk to Sister-in-law Qi about her concerns at any time.
Qiu, He, and Mao's families, and even the women with children, were making cloaks while taking care of their children.
Qi Yunyi and Qi Yunzhuo, Cui Hao, Xu Da and others, were training Dong Yi and others.
The circular area in the center of the ancient village has simply become their training ground.
A group of children in Zhuzhu watched eagerly and wanted to join in.
But the third brother and the sixth brother didn't even look at them, they were so anxious.
If you don't look at it, right, then I'll do something bad.
Zhuzi looked around, picked up the stones on the ground, and threw them towards the ground over there.
"Brother Zhuzi, aren't you afraid that Third Brother will beat you later?" Xiaobai was worried for him.
"That's right, Brother Zhuzi, don't throw it away." Tietou didn't want to see Zhuzi being chased and beaten again.
"Brother Zhuzi, Third Brother found you." Daniel took a step back.
The children suddenly panicked and hurriedly pulled on the pillar to leave.
"Let go." Zhuzi didn't do it, he took another step forward and threw all the stones in his hand.
"Zhuzi, your skin is itchy again." Qi Yunyi came over and said fiercely.
"Third brother, you are biased." Zhuzi said with a pout.
"Why am I partial? Tell me." If there was a chair here, Qi Yunyi would like to sit down and listen to this kid's nonsense.
"There are so many of you taking care of Brother Dong Yi and the others, but you don't care about us." Zhuzi snorted, holding his hands on his chest and his face bulging, showing that he was very angry.
"Brother Dong Yi and the others can endure hardship, can you?" Qi Yunyi pointed over there with his hand, "Look, you can keep a horse's step motionless for an hour, can you?"
"Why not?" Zhu Zhu said unconvinced, "Brother Dong Yi can do it, and so can we."
"Yes, we can too." Xiaobai, Tietou and the others also said confidently.
With the opening of the pillar, they were no longer afraid.
"Okay." Qi Yunyi smiled proudly, "Follow me. As long as you last for a cup of tea, you will be qualified to come to this school."
"Keep your word." Zhu Zhu waved his hand, "Brothers, let's go."
Qi Yunyi looked at this group of children, the oldest was only eleven years old and the youngest was six years old. They followed each one unyieldingly and finally couldn't hold back the laughter that he had been holding back for a long time.
These brats just want to let you know that this school ground is not something you can just come to if you want to.
If you don't train well, I won't accept it.
From the first day he met Zhu Zhu and the others, Qi Yunyi had his eye on them.
But these bastards are a bit arrogant, so naturally they have to be frustrated.
I begged him to train and I have been waiting for this day.
Qi Yunzhuo gave Qi Yunyi a thumbs up, "Third brother, it's still your call."
If these children who only care about playing are allowed to be trained at the beginning, they may not be able to endure the hardship and run away in three days.
It's better to fight than to fight. This time it's better. Anyone who wants to run away is a coward.
Seeing Zhu Zhu, they followed suit in a decent manner. Cui Hao and Xu Da also laughed.
The brothers have nothing to do, so it would be quite interesting to deal with a bunch of bastards.
In less than a cup of tea, Qi Yunyi waved to the pillar.
Zhuzi was overjoyed and said hurriedly, "Let's go, Third Brother must have allowed us to come."
"Cui Hao, Xu Da, I'll leave these guys to you." Qi Yunyi threw Zhu Zhu and the others over.
"Yes, third brother." The two of them answered the order, and then looked at Zhuzi and the others like a big bad wolf looking at a little white rabbit.
Zhu Zhu and others were obviously stunned.
They originally thought that the third and sixth brothers would be better off if they didn't take them with them, but a look of death made them feel bad.
Why do you feel a little cheated?
Zhuzi's first reaction was to run away. But he just said that if Brother Dong Yi and the others can endure hardship, so can they.
If he took the lead and ran away, wouldn't the brothers hate him to death.
He couldn't afford to lose this person.
With a tilt of his head, a twitch of his neck, and a bulge of his eyes, Zhuzhu stepped forward to meet him in an upright manner.
Cui Hao and Xu Da looked at each other and smiled, which was a good reaction.
At this moment, when Qi Yunfeng and Tang Xinyue wandered over, Zhuzi ran over there quickly, and a group of children followed.
"Brother Seven, Sister-in-law Seven, they bullied us." Zhu Zhu found the complainer and said aggrievedly.
"Zhuzi, come back." Cui Hao shouted with a straight face, "If you want to train, just obey the order. If you don't want to train, just go back."
"Go back quickly." Tang Xinyue advised, "I'm sure these big brothers won't take you to play in the future."
When Zhu Zhu heard this, he immediately got scared and ran back obediently.
"Zhuzi, stand alone for a quarter of an hour and don't move." Cui Hao didn't believe it, so he couldn't control this little devil.
"Others, follow me and run around." After Xu Da finished speaking, he took the lead and started running.
Xiaobai, Daniu and the others looked at the pillar and quickly followed.
Dongyi smiled when he saw Zhuzhu's aggrieved look.
If this were in the death camp, the whip would be gone early in the morning, and he would still be telling you so much.
Tang Xinyue took a look at the place, which seemed empty even though there were so many people standing there, and thought to herself, she had to add some embellishment here.
But, what should I decorate it with?
Chapter 150 Are you looking for someone
Seeing that the central area was as big as seven or eight football fields, an idea flashed in Tang Xinyue's mind.
Yes.
Why not build a basketball court and a football field here, and let these old men, who get confused when they have nothing to do, learn to play ball.
Although the Dachu people had many ball games, they were certainly not as comprehensive as those played by later generations.
Tang Xinyue believes that basketball and football will definitely attract everyone's attention once they appear.
By then, these adults and children will not be so boring.
That night, after going to Mei's place for dinner, Tang Xinyue meditated on the big rock again.
Now, Mrs. Gu is no longer surprised by her behavior.
Even others, after seeing Tang Xinyue like this, accepted it calmly after being initially surprised.
In their hearts, whatever Tang Xinyue did was right and justified.
Half an hour later, the mental power was continuously seeping into the stone, but the progress was still the same as at noon, which inevitably made Tang Xinyue a little disappointed.
Simply ignoring it, Tang Xinyue stood up and walked in with Qi Yunfeng. After closing the door, the two of them entered the space directly.
Taking out her mobile phone and opening Gujin Pavilion, Tang Xinyue was about to buy some cloth bags, basketballs, footballs, and field equipment when she suddenly noticed that a message popped up in front of her eyes.
This is a reward she almost forgot: Did she originally intend to spend 10 billion to upgrade the space?
Tang Xinyue nodded yes without hesitation.
Immediately, a message was displayed: After the space is upgraded, the space door can be opened within the space; within the space, one can clearly see outside the space.
Wow... After Tang Xinyue read this message carefully twice, she looked outside the space and saw what was going on inside the house.
Then, she ran into the bedroom and looked out of the space, still seeing it.
Although after upgrading the space, this use does not seem to be a big deal, Tang Xinyue believes that these 10 billion will definitely not be wasted.
Who knows when it will be of great use.
However, the ancient time and space gate that Hua Rui wants is still far away.
I don't know when the next upgrade will be.
Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she quickly left the bedroom, walked to the Feng Lin picture, and looked outside the picture intently.
But it was pitch black outside and nothing could be seen.
Tang Xinyue moved a few steps away, her eyes locked on the wall next to Feng Lintu, and she saw the house outside again.
It seems that this Fenglin picture not only has a mystery inside the painting, but also has a lot of things outside the painting.
Qi Yunfeng came out of the wash and saw Tang Xinyue standing there in a daze. He couldn't help but walked over and asked, "Why, has there been any new progress in this painting?"
Tang Xinyue shook her head, "The more I look at it, the more confused I become."
"Then let's stop reading." Qi Yunfeng pulled Tang Xinyue to sit on the sofa and said seriously, "I want to discuss something with you."
"What's the matter?" Seeing that he was so cautious, Tang Xinyue listened attentively.
"Let's hold another wedding ceremony."
Qi Yunfeng's firm eyes contained tenderness, which made Tang Xinyue want to move her eyes away, but she couldn't.
Instantly, her face felt a little hot.
"After Grandma and the others come to Shanggu Village, we will hold a ceremony, okay?" Qi Yunfeng pursued the victory.
"Okay." Tang Xinyue nodded shyly.
She knew that for Qi Yunfeng, the wedding ceremony in the capital was just a task that the children of the aristocratic family should complete.
This request was his sincere love from the bottom of his heart.
The hand of fate pushed Tang Xinyue here, and the day and night they spent together on the exile road made them fall in love with each other unknowingly.
The two are in love and don't want to let any regrets remain. The new wedding ceremony has become something they look forward to.
The next day, Qi Yunfeng and Tang Xinyue took Cui Hao and the others and drove twenty mule carts to Qingshan County.
On the dock, Qi Yunfeng and Tang Xinyue got on the boat first, leaving Cui Hao and the others to wait where they were.
Tang Xinyue took out the fifty cloth bags prepared last night from the space and placed them in the large cabin.
Afterwards, Qi Yunfeng went to the deck and waved to Cui Hao and the others.
The group of people boarded the boat and moved quickly. In less than a quarter of an hour, they moved all fifty cloth bags onto the mule cart.
The long motorcade caught Mo Yukun's attention as soon as it left the pier.
At this time, he was riding around the city, hoping to find the two people he lost yesterday.
He was about to leave this place and go to another county to look for the eldest prince, but he seemed to have completely forgotten his mission.
When he saw that the leader was exactly the person he was looking for, he smiled victoriously, turned his horse, and followed.
Qi Yunfeng and Tang Xinyue discovered that Mo Yuzhu was following them almost at the same time. He drove the car away and signaled Cui Hao and the others to go back first.
When Mo Yuzhu saw them stop, he felt bad: they were discovered so soon.
He stepped forward bravely, made a beautiful rein, and said, "You two, it's such a coincidence that we meet again."
"Brother Mo, are you looking for someone?" Qi Yunfeng said bluntly and with a pun.
"Ah..." Mo Yuzhu's face felt uncomfortable for a moment, then returned to his natural state in an instant, "To be honest, brother, I am indeed looking for someone."
Although he looks like a scholar, he is actually a proper military commander, and his words are not so frivolous.
At this time, it was obvious that he had a guilty conscience.
"Since you think so highly of us, you might as well come and listen, and we can help you look for him." Qi Yunfeng seemed casual, but actually said seriously.
"..." Mo Yuzhu was shocked by the other party's straightforwardness, and felt that he was transparent in the other party's eyes.
At first he was confused by the other party's words, but now he was so frightened that he broke into a sweat.
"Since Brother Mo doesn't say anything, we will meet again later." After Qi Yunfeng finished speaking, he walked away without waiting for the other party's reply.
Mo Yuzhu stood there blankly, as if he had turned to stone.
Soon, he reacted. Kick your horse and follow up quickly.
Since the other party is so powerful and can see what he is going to do, it is better to cooperate with the other party and maybe we can really find the eldest prince.
Although they are hostile to each other, in the face of sufficient interests, enemies can also become friends.
Furthermore, when they came to Dachu this time, they had absolutely no wrongdoing, they were just looking for someone.
He believes that as long as there is sincerity, the other party will be able to cooperate sincerely and not just pay lip service.
Riding his horse and whipping his whip, Mo Yukun chased Qi Yunfeng and the others again.
Qi Yunfeng and Tang Xinyue smiled at each other and parked the car in front of a teahouse.
The waiter hurriedly stepped forward and pulled their mule cart to the backyard.
The two entered the store and found a seat by the window to sit down.
When Mo Yukun walked in, he saw three teacups on their table.
Immediately, he stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Boy, excuse me."
"Brother Mo, come and sit down." Qi Yunfeng stretched out his hand and motioned for him to sit on the opposite side.
"I wonder how I should call you two friends?" Mo Yukun asked after sitting down generously.
Since you want to cooperate with the other party, you naturally need to know the other party's name.
He couldn't help but sigh, the Great Chu Dynasty was indeed an outstanding place, and there were such people in this remote place.
When he asked her name, Qi Yunfeng replied directly, "Qi Yunfeng, this is my wife Tang Xinyue."
Qi Yunfeng?
Mo Yukun, whose butt was still hot from sitting, jumped up in surprise.
