Chapter 245 General Tomb
At this time, Hujia Village was full of excitement.
Village Chief Hu gathered several young and middle-aged people and wanted to take people to explore the waterfall in the back mountain.
The food in the village has been taken care of, and the land that needs to be plowed has been ploughed up. Just waiting for two more rains to plant the seeds of a new season.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion or not. After planting the spring crops, the fertility of their land has become more and more abundant.
In fact, the overall land in Hujia Village is not enough. Each household needs to have a little less. The quality of grains is not good. Although they rely on mountains and water, the fertility of the land is not enough.
The food grown every year is less than that of other villages. In addition, the village chief has a tendon. Every child over the age of seven must go to the household registration.
caused them to pay more taxes, and over time, their fox village became poorer and poorer.
There were also people who expressed dissatisfaction and asked the village chief not to report so many people, and to plant more of the public land for them.
Village Chief Hu said no.
"Our ancestors were great generals, and he was the most upright. How could we cheat and play tricks? Isn't this sorry for our ancestors!"
Even Mrs. Hu and the others strongly supported the decision of the village chief, which was also the rule that the village chiefs of all dynasties insisted on.
Everyone is helpless, but the rules of the ancestors are really not easy to break. This is not a bad habit, so we have to endure it.
Although they are the poorest village in the town, they are not as poor as the old Wang family.
Lao Wang's family didn't complain, didn't make a fuss, every child got a household registration, and paid a lot of head tax every year, what else did they say?
But the only good thing is that the emperor sent the adults to deliver the disaster relief food and asked Shanyang Village to pay compensation. Because of their relatively complete household registration, they got a big sum of money.
Two days ago, they received all the compensation from Shanyang Village, which was a complete surprise.
They had previously heard that Shanyang Village was directly driven out, and the original village was also encircled as an unknown forbidden area.
Thought that the money owed to them by Shanyang Village would not be repaid, but unexpectedly, the money would arrive at the same time as the harvest.
Those who were injured at the time received at least five taels of silver.
In addition, Village Chief Hu divided the other compensation amounts equally and regarded it as a cost to relieve everyone. Everyone got money according to their household registration, even children one or two years old.
and the corvee service that Shanyang Village gave them to offset, according to the price, they had 2 taels of silver at a time. Although they didn’t have it in their hands, they didn’t have to send someone out, which was very cost-effective.
and no more spring tax.
All the benefits are completely picked up for nothing, how can everyone be unhappy?
"Perhaps it was the divine rain at the beginning of the year, which made our land full of fertility. Plant the second crop in autumn. When planting, don't plant it so densely. Half of the land is used for raising, and the other half is used for planting. Next year. Alternately, the soil will be slowly raised." The old man said, "Now that we have enough food, don't plant the land too hard."
In the past, they would sow seeds in spring and autumn, not because of their hard work, but because they would not have enough food if they didn’t plant them.
Now, it's completely different.
Everyone is beaming.
Hearing again, Ayu and the others seem to have found the tomb of the general behind the mountain, and the people in the village are just happy.
This is definitely the blessing brought by the lucky doll!
The harvest season is the most grateful moment in everyone's heart, and they are motivated to do anything.
As soon as he heard that the village chief was going to organize people to go to the back of the mountain, the others couldn't hold back, and they all followed.
The mountain road for several miles was smooth and flat.
When they arrived at the waterfall, a few young people did not wait for the village chief Hu to say hello, and climbed up the rocks directly along the waterfall.
Soon, they found a gap in the middle of the waterfall.
A young man ran out wet and shouted in surprise: "The village chief! There is really a tomb here, what a big one!"
The tomb hidden behind the waterfall has a lot of potential. Outside is a tombstone with some birth and death years and deeds engraved on it. The outermost is a set of armor.
It’s just the words on the tombstone that young people don’t know.
The most literate person in the village is Mr. Hu, but Mr. Hu has an old bone and it is impossible to climb the waterfall again.
Climbing, he was afraid that he would be able to lie directly into the tomb.
Everyone looked at each other.
Aunt Hu's third son said at this time: "I can write a little bit, but I can't recognize it. Let me go in and trace the words inside."
Aunt Hu's third son runs away all year round, but this time he was going to leave, but when he saw the family's grain harvest was such a bumper crop, he naturally stayed in the village to help.
After the collection was finished, Aunt Hu thought that she had made the Lao Wang family difficult because of her nonsense.
Leng is to keep the third son at home, and wants to spend a few months, wash his brain first, let him know how to help hide news outside, and then let people out.
The third son's name is Hu Zhengnian, and he is a very spirited young man.
He immediately ran back to the village, asked Mrs. Hu to get a pen and paper, sealed the pen and paper in a bamboo tube, and then came back and got into the waterfall.
After he traced the words inside, Mrs. Hu read the contents above, but his expression changed greatly.
"This is really the tomb of the Great General!"
The ancestors of Hujia Village had great generals. This is a rumor of the older generation, but it has never been confirmed.
Now, living proof is at hand.
The tomb behind the waterfall is very well preserved. They couldn't bear to disturb the ancestors, so they only took out the armor inside.
Unexpectedly, after removing the rust on the outside of the armor, I saw a few large characters engraved inside.
【Snow falls on Furui, this road is prosperous】
When everyone heard these words, they were completely at a loss and did not understand what they meant.
Mrs. Hu: "!!"
Maybe that Chang is Chang of Dachang.
I don't know if that's what he meant.
But if this is the case, this matter is a big deal.
The village chief Hu saw that Mr. Hu looked wrong, so he sent everyone away. After returning, he asked everyone to prepare to make a general shrine.
In the future, he will worship the general in the village.
Everyone is very enthusiastic about this, and even think that they can survive many disasters this time, and maybe they also have the blessing of the general heroic spirit.
After the crowd dispersed, Mrs. Hu gathered together the old and respected old people in the village.
"Perhaps, it's not accidental that Ayu came to our village."
【Snow falls on Furui, this road is prosperous】
When it snows, the Furui will fall, choose the right road, and you will be prosperous.
After Mr. Hu roughly interpreted the eight characters, he only said this sentence.
All the clan elders, you look at me, I look at you, but for a while, I am a little confused.
But Village Chief Hu said, "Then, do you want to tell the old Wang's family about this?"
"Of course I have to say it." Mrs. Hu said, "Zhuzi and Zhuzi's daughter-in-law should be notified, especially Zhuzi's daughter-in-law."
In the eyes of Mrs. Hu, the most wise person in the Wang family is not Zhu Zi, nor Wang Chuangui, but Zhu Zi's daughter-in-law.
At this time, Xiao Ayu, whom everyone was concerned about, encountered a crisis.
Once the number of chapters is posted, it can’t be changed. I’ve read it several times and wrote it wrong, and I don’t even know how many chapters it should be.
