Chapter 234

After returning to the village, there are a lot of things to do. This time, I will not take Li Tinghui back. Xu Qing reserved enough meat, vegetables and money for his family, and asked Zhao Jian and Yu poming to take care of them. The next day, he and Li Changting set out for Changxi village.

Duanmu Xiang stays at home, otherwise only two and a half children and one child will be left at home. Xu Qing is not at ease.

She put five chickens and rabbits in the yard to make Duanmu greedy and let Hao Wei cook them for him.

They went on their way during the day and had a rest at night. Three days later, they arrived at the cave of the village and brought the good news to the patriarch.

Now it's time for the village to harvest grain. This year's grain harvest is obviously not as good as last autumn's. Everyone is worried, but Xu Qing brought back such good news!

So the patriarch said, when we have collected all the food, we will go back to rebuild the village!

"Do you want to let the people over there know?" Someone asked.

"Let me know. It's a big deal after all." Xu Qing said, "Li Jing, please find someone to come with us. If anyone wants to come back, bring them back. If they don't want to come back, ask if they don't plan to come back. After all, there are only a few fields in the village, so it's impossible to leave some empty and wasted."

Li Jing nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

After a night's rest, Xu Qing and Li Changting take Li Jing with them to the bearded cottage the next day.

And the patriarch took a few men back to the valley to divide the fields.

When the plague broke out last year, the area in the west of the village became a crematorium. It was estimated that no one would dare to live there. The patriarch wanted to plant trees there. Don't waste them, or it would be strange.

Now there are few people, and there is a lot of land available in the village.

The patriarch has a good memory. He knows exactly which family he lives in and where he lives. When the time comes, everyone will come back and redistribute according to the situation.

It took Xu Qing another two days to get on the road. After saying hello to Hu, Li Jing and Li Zhuang went to talk to the people in the original village, leaving Xu Qing and Li Changting to talk to Hu.

Walking into the cave, Li Changting put the basket on his back on the table and said it was a gift for beard.

Mustache opened the lotus leaf in the bamboo basket and took a breath. It turned out that there were two large pieces of pork in it. It looked as if they were 30 or 40 Jin. They were all iced.

"This It's really expensive Beard laughed happily, "you've made a lot of money. You can give away so much meat as you like."

"I don't give it to anyone. It's only from my friends. Other people don't have such treatment." Xu Qingdao.

"Yes, yes, it's a friend!" Beard is happier.

"You go to Xinghu next month. There are a group of piglets. If you want, you can buy some and keep them." Xu Qingdao.

"I want it, especially!" Cried beard.

Beard happy end, suddenly think of a thing to say with Xu Qing.

"Do you remember the Xu family?" Beard said, "I forgot to tell you last time. Old lady Xu went up the mountain to look for wild vegetables and fell down from the cliff. She was seriously injured. She died half a month ago."

Xu Qing was shocked in his heart: "mother Xu is dead?"

"Ah." The beard answered.

"Why did you fall off the cliff?" Li Changting asked.

"I don't know. At that time, the food in the field hadn't been opened. Many people lived on the food in the mountains, and mother Xu took her daughter-in-law to the mountains all day to find food. It is estimated that she fell down accidentally. Her daughter-in-law came back in a panic and said that she was dead. Later, we went to see her and kept a breath. It's a pity that the fall was too heavy and the doctors here can't cure her. She went there soon. " Beard explained.

Xu Qingshi didn't expect that mother Xu had died. She didn't know what to say. She just felt that she was in a complicated mood, not sad, but with some emotion.

Later, Xu Qing and Li Changting went to find Xu Jie.

Xu Jie is sleeping in the cave. It's Cheng Yingying who goes in and calls him. It's probably because he's making a noise to Xu Jie. Xu Qing outside the cave hears the sound of beating and scolding coming from inside. When she comes out, her steps seem a little messy.

Cheng Yingying is obviously younger than Xu Qing, but now she looks yellow, thin and tired. She looks like she is twenty years old.

She said respectfully to Xu Qing, "Xu Jie will come out soon."

Xu Qing frowned and saw that Xu Jie came out of the cave in disheveled clothes. A trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

Cheng Yingying continued to go outside the cave to clean up the sweet potatoes she had just dug from the ground, but her ears stood up quietly.

Seeing Xu Qing and Li Changting, Xu Jie twisted his face and said coldly, "what are you doing here?"

Xu Qing tone cold: "Xu mother died, I'll ask you where you buried her, at least a mother and daughter, I'll give her incense burning paper money."

Xu Jie looked at Xu Qing for a while, said "wait" and turned into the cave. After a while, Xu Jie came out with a wooden box.

"She said before she died that she would go back to the village to die and not be buried in a foreign land. Take her back and bury her."It seems that Xu Jie doesn't plan to go back to the village. Xu nods, holds the wooden box and walks away without saying a second word.

Looking at Xu Qing's back, a trace of jealousy flashed in Xu Jie's eyes. He turned to sweep Cheng Yingying's eyes and yelled at her, "what are you looking at? If you don't cook, do you want to starve me?"

Cheng Yingying quickly lowers her head to get firewood. Where Xu Jie can't see it, Cheng Yingying's eyes are full of venom, and a cold smile rises from the corner of her mouth.

On the way back, Xu Qing thought about it. How could a man who was so careful fall off the cliff? However, she didn't want to study the entanglement. It was Xu who made it. The fact has nothing to do with her.

When Li Jing and Li Zhuang came back in the evening, they said that only three families were willing to follow them back to the village, and the rest planned to settle here for a long time.

It is said that there are only eight people in three families.

Xu Qing and Li Changting were all right. Li Jing and Li Zhuang were all right.

As the saying goes, "snails in March and mussels in April", it's not too late for snails to eat. Now beard is thinking about farming. Snails, shrimps and mussels can still eat when they want to eat.

The next day, Xu Qing asked Li Jing and Li Zhuang to take people back to the village first. She and Li Changting spent an extra day in the beard mountain stronghold. The main reason was that the beard gave her a lot of fresh water. It's easy to get rid of it all the way back. They have to let Li Jing go first because they are afraid of arousing others' suspicion.

However, Li Changting's feet are fast. He almost goes back to the village at the same time as Li Jing. Now everyone has gone back to the village to clean up the ruins.
