Traveling through the famine years with the system to raise cubs

The sudden scolding made the two of them tremble in fright, and the medicine bag fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, five strong men rushed out from around them. These strong men all had anger on their faces, and they pressed the two of them firmly to the ground.

The village chief walked up to the two of them holding the newly lit torch with a livid face.

"He Tiezhu! Let's see how you explain this time!" The village head scolded as he picked up the medicine bag on the ground with a torch.

"Bah! If you want to kill or cut, it's up to you!" He Tiezhu, who had a scarred face, gave the village chief a hard look with a look of indifference.

The village chief's nose was almost crooked. He waved his hands and said to the five men, "Tie them up and throw them into the Lu Family Ancestral Hall. You five are a bit tired tonight, so take turns guarding them! We will go there tomorrow morning." Dahua Village Xingshi asks the crime!"

Those five men were all honest people in the village, and they obeyed the village chief's words even more.

They quickly tied up the two men and took them down the mountain.

"Mr. Jiang, today... Thank you so much today! Without you...we...we..." The village head was really scared this time, and his voice was obviously trembling when he spoke.

Jiang Ling shook her head and said, "Village Chief, you don't have to thank me, I still have something to ask of you."

"Oh? What's the matter, you and I don't have to be polite before, you just say it." The village chief said.

"Village Chief, you see, after I reconciled with Lu Youren, I have been living in our Lujia Village. Although I am from a foreign surname, I also hope to have my own land. I will not say anything else. Yaojie is [-] years old this year. Now, in a few years, it's time to talk about marrying a daughter-in-law, if there is no land, life will be difficult in the future!" After living in this era for a while, Jiang Ling immediately realized the importance of land.

At that time, she had just crossed over and had no idea of ​​the land at all, and she took nothing with her when she remarried. If it wasn't for the heavenly system, she and the three children would have starved to death long ago.

"Oh, Mrs. Jiang, you said this. It's easy to handle. Don't worry! There is a large piece of wasteland behind our Lujia Village. It is definitely not enough to give it away for free. I will sell the wasteland to you at the price of 5 copper coins per mu. Already!" said the village chief.

"One mu? How big is one mu? How many mu does this family of five need?" One question after another appeared in Jiang Ling's mind. Although Jiang Ling knew the importance of the land, he had no concept of the size of the land. , can only temporarily shelve the idea of ​​​​buying land.

"What? Mrs. Jiang, do you think it's expensive? It's okay, I have to give you credit first, and you can save enough money to pay me back!" The village chief looked at Jiang Ling and asked.

"Okay, I'll go back and think about it. As you know, the village chief, it's enough for me to raise four children as a peasant woman, so..." Jiang Ling quickly changed the subject.

"Don't worry, I just said that this one can be credited to you first, that's fine, I'll wait for your news, make sure you tell me that I will find someone to write the deed." Hearing Jiang Ling's words, the village chief repeatedly comforted road.

Jiang Ling nodded, another thing suddenly came to her mind, she quickly opened her mouth and said, "Village Chief, I think we should stop hiding the matter of the water source!"

"Mr. Jiang, what do you mean by that?" The village chief stopped immediately after hearing this and asked with a puzzled expression.

"Village Chief, don't you think it's just a fluke that we found out that someone was poisoned this time? If we didn't come here during the day, wouldn't we know all about the poisoning tonight?"

Jiang Ling's words left the village chief speechless. He opened his mouth and didn't know how to answer Jiang Ling, so he could only let out a long sigh.

"Village chief, we can't hide the matter of the water source. Today is Dahua Village, what about tomorrow? The day after tomorrow? The day after tomorrow? We can't send people to monitor here for twelve hours because of this water source, right? ?”

Jiang Ling's words startled the village chief, who didn't know what to say.

"Village Chief, I know what you are worried about. You are worried that if the three or four nearby villages dig ditches to get water, if the water dries up, our food will suffer, right?"

Jiang Ling's words pierced the heart of the village chief. After hearing this, the village chief nodded and sighed heavily: "Mr. Jiang, to tell you the truth, I am really worried about this matter. Last year was a year of famine, and today is another year." It was a famine year. Last year, the government gave us relief food, so that we could barely survive the winter. If this happens again this year, half of the people in the village will die. I guess you don't want to see this kind of scene, do you? "

"Village chief, you don't have to worry about this. It's better to block it than to block it. There must be other water sources in this mountain. If every village finds water sources, who will care about our village's water sources?"

Jiang Ling's words made the village chief suddenly realize. He patted his head and looked at Jiang Ling gratefully: "Mr. Jiang! I understand what you mean, but how do you think we should deal with those two people?"

"We still have to go to Dahua Village to ask for an explanation. I think for the safety of our village, we need to form a guard!" When she caught the two men just now, many thoughts suddenly flashed through Jiang Ling. These thoughts made her Feeling scared.

"Guard? What is that?" The village chief was a little puzzled after hearing this.

"Village Chief, do you still remember that Li Shanren's house in Changning Town was stolen and a boy was killed?" This was the first thing that came to Jiang Ling's mind just now.

The village chief was a little surprised. He had heard about it before, but he didn't take it to heart.

"This? Mrs. Jiang, is there any connection between what you said and your guard?" The village chief asked in confusion.

"Village chief, Li Shan's family had more than 100 catties of food stolen before, and even one of their servants died under the knife. It can be seen that all of these people are blood-licking guys." Jiang Jiang Ling paused for a moment and continued: "Many people will become bandits in times of famine. Now that we have found a source of water in our village, I am worried that it will become a meal for those guys."

"Hmm... what you said is indeed good. After all, I was careless and didn't consider this." The village chief nodded and whispered.

"We need to set up a guard team, one is to prevent other villages from attempting to misuse our water source, and the other is to be able to detect the refugees and bandits in the first place so that we have a way to deal with them." Jiang Ling continued to add.

"Then how do we set up this guard?" The village chief continued to ask.

"This..." Jiang Ling's original plan was to directly tell the village chief what she thought, but now she suddenly thought of Jiang Yaojie, and she still planned to let Jiang Yaojie do this "show face", so she quickly changed her words: "This... The village chief, I'm a clumsy tongue, I'm afraid I can't explain it for a while, so, after finishing dealing with Dahua Village tomorrow, I will take Yaojie to your house and let him talk to you about it?"

"What? Mrs. Jiang, you...you mean this idea was proposed by Jiang Yaojie?" The village chief looked at Jiang Ling in disbelief and asked.

"Of course, this kid Yaojie is smart! It's getting late for the village chief, so go back early!" After Jiang Ling finished speaking, worried that the village chief would continue to question her, she quickly ran towards her home.

Dahua Village, the home of the village head.

The village chief, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes. He slowly sat up from the bed and looked at the night outside. He touched his chest and wondered, "Strange, why did you suddenly feel so flustered?"
