MTL - After Emptying the Enemy’s Warehouse, He Carried Supplies To Survive the Disaster Years-Chapter 122 Leave

The refugees who felt that their future was bleak eventually followed in the footsteps of Qiu Degui and his party. A group of people who really did not have the courage to go on came to the burned-out Xihe Village and decided to stay here.

The weather was getting colder day by day, and there was no stable place to spend the winter if they continued further. They were afraid that they would die on the road before they were halfway through.

After Qiu Degui personally went up the mountain to check the terrain, he also decided to let the Qiu family live here.

Judging from their journey, this place is seventy or eighty miles away from Xin'an County.

With a mountain at your back, you can run to the mountain if there is any disturbance. There are still cabbages, radishes, sweet potatoes, etc. that have not been harvested in time.

The valuable food gave a group of people fleeing here a great sense of security.

The refugees who had been fleeing the famine for more than half a year finally found a place to stay, and they were actively building houses that could provide shelter from the wind and snow. This place was thousands of miles away from their hometown.

Lu Tong thought that he would not have to spend any money in the castle. After five years of saving, his family would have thousands of taels of silver, which was something their family could not even imagine.

 …

“Brothers inside, we are only staying for one night and will leave early tomorrow morning.

“A bunch of evil-hearted people want us all to die in the wolf’s mouth and give birth to a son without a butthole!”

 Qiu Degui, who had his own plans, took the second son of the Qiu family into the mountains, sometimes carrying one or two small prey down the mountain, and became the best life in the eyes of others.

A group of people dare not light a fire to cook during the day, so they can only cook hot food at night. They gather around the muddy stove to eat sweet potatoes and drink vegetable soup, which is as good as delicacies from the mountains and the sea to them.

Lu Tong, who finally found a way to survive, responded loudly, clasped his fists and solemnly made a promise to the young castle lord in front of him.

The alarm bell at the entrance of the village rang, and the adults in Kaner Village dropped their work one after another and rushed to the guard points assigned long ago with whatever weapons they had.

For long-term considerations, the construction of houses in Kaner Village has not stopped. Kaner Village is changing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“Lu Tong thanked the fort master, put his efforts into effect, and vowed to defend Kaner Village to the death.”

Or he is too ignorant and always thinks that the wealthy families in Xingyuan Mansion are the rich people. It turns out that the real rich people are the castle owners.

For the four families who are used to living in a dilapidated house, they are lucky to have a place to stay. Who would despise it?

 After three warnings, don’t blame us for being ruthless! "Lu Tong declared loudly again.

The head guard of Kaner Village was born in a few words between the two of them.

Ziyu, who was lying on the top of the wall, watched the group of people below gesturing to each other, and the four people scattered along the wall with torches.

Tian Da's eyes gleamed slightly under the torch. When did the quiet village of Kan'er become a private property, and the walls were higher than Xin'an County.

 “Ouch~ow~ow~ow!”

 “Fortmaster, Lu Tong is willing!”

In the crowing and barking team of **** and dogs, there were men, women, and children, and there was also an old ox and a big horse, and there were people with knives and guns.

Ziyu climbed up the wall and looked at the group of people holding torches below. Under the firelight, the unfamiliar faces looked a little embarrassed, but they were carrying their baggage calmly.

As for the county magistrate’s wife and his family, for the sake of the magistrate’s good deeds, Ziyu didn’t mention selling herself or signing a long-term job to them.

 “Dang~dang~dang!”

 In their view, as long as they have a shelter from the wind and rain, it is a great happiness.

Ziyu, who stayed in Kaner Village, looked around the village to check the terrain and pointed out places where defenses should be strengthened from time to time.

Lu Tong led fifteen guards from Kaner Village, guarding behind the gate with iron guns and broadswords.

 In the long procession of torches, there were the cries of old people, women and children, and the howls of wolves were getting closer and closer.

The clever Lu Tong took the initiative to take up the task of patrolling. He would also take everyone to exercise in the morning and teach them one or two basic skills.

 …

With more people and strength, the four families lived in newly built houses. The mud-walled thatched houses were naturally incomparable with the houses in Daxia Fort.

 These are all seen by Ziyu.

"Who is here? This is private property, please leave quickly!" Lu Tong shouted at the group of people outside through the crack in the door.

“This is private property and outsiders are not accepted. Please leave immediately.

 After dinner one day, Ziyu, Sha Dalang, Lu Tong, and Sheng Xuelin were sitting in front of the fire pit, discussing the winter defense issues of Kaner Village.

Other families share one house, and the whole family, regardless of gender, lives together. They can keep each other warm in the winter when everything is lacking.

Lu Tong, who did not expect the surprise to come so quickly, agreed immediately.

 The new Xihe Village, a small village with only about 40 people, slowly took shape in the hands of hard-working refugees.

“Lu Tong, would you like to hire you as the chief guard of Kaner Village?”

The two families who came with Old Man Hu chose to sell themselves into slavery after much consideration in order to have a stable life.

“Brother, I am Tian Dayou, the head of Xihe Village. Please speak to me from the person in charge!”

“I will obey the fortress master’s instructions, and Lu Tong will carry them out according to the rules!”

 …

 Looks like a good place to stay!

　　Everyone wisely built the house at the foot of the mountain with the Qiu family's house as the center. It would be shielded by the burned-out houses in the village, which would also give them a buffer time.

“Brothers inside, we are from Xihe Village. We escaped from the disaster. Please open the door and let us in.”

Sure enough, what dad said makes sense. As long as you are down-to-earth and diligent, the castle owner will see it.

Those who left their homes and careers to flee here had no intention of returning to their hometown after seeing the mountains and rivers of the south.

 “Mom…there is a wolf…wow!”

The Qiu family, who are very labor-intensive, are the only family to build two houses that are half stone and half wood. The men and women live in two rooms separately, with a simple stove at the door.

 Tian Dayou looked at Lu Tong in the crack of the door kindly, and brought the torch in his hand closer to let the people inside see his appearance clearly.

“There is a wolf, open the door and let us in!”

 …

 …

 The food and daily necessities shipped from Daxiabao were all distributed, allowing the four families to live a normal life.

 “Okay, I’ll take office today!

Including the five mountains behind Kaner Village, they all belong to private property. Anyone who trespasses and refuses to obey the advice can be expelled.

“One hundred taels of silver per year, two bolts of fine cotton per season, and the same treatment as a steward.”

 “Bah bang bang…open the door!”

What Ziyu said made Lu Tong so shocked that he could not open his mouth from ear to ear. Who would have thought that this large area of ​​​​the mountain was privately owned by the owner of the castle.

 …

 When survival comes first, there is no need to pay so much attention.

 Look at us, both old and young. There are wolves in the mountains. It’s very unsafe. Just let us in! "

 Anyone who refuses to listen to three warnings will be killed! "

Lu Tong was overjoyed with the conditions Ziyu offered. This was better than working as a guard outside.

The destroyed houses were rummaged through by a group of people who were in need of everything, and some usable pots, bowls, knives, shovels, and farm tools were also found.

The shrewish woman cursed and slapped the wooden door hard, making a creaking sound as she pushed.

 “Fortmaster, what should I do?”

Lu Tong, who was at a loss for what to do, climbed up the wall to find Ziyu for advice.
