Chapter 7

When he went down the mountain, because he didn't know what was going on down the mountain for the time being, Luo Qiuyun took all the gold, silver and banknotes with him. In addition, he prepared food rations for three people for four to five days and changed some clothes. Then he walked along the direction of the village he found that day.

Because there is no one walking on the mountain road all the year round, and it's also the season of flourishing vegetation in spring, it's not easy to walk. Almost Luo Qiuyun walked slowly while opening the road, so that when he arrived at the entrance of the village, it was sunset.

Looking at the smoke curling up, the smell of rice coming from time to time in the air, the hungry three people can't help swallowing their saliva. Luo Qiuyun is also thinking about how to explain the origin of several people after entering the village.

However, I feel more confident when I think of the money bag in the basket. It's just that ancient times are different from modern times. I need to pay attention to what I say. Don't make any trouble.

Strangers came to the village. The children who were playing around were the first to see them, but the children looked at Luo Qiuyun, pointed and muttered. Suddenly they scattered like birds and beasts and ran home.

"What's the matter?" Aware that something is wrong, Luo Qiuyun frowned slightly, but decided to go to the village to find out.

However, before Luo Qiuyun came near, he saw many men and women in the village rushing towards them with hoes and brooms, shouting: "don't be rampant

"Shit, what's going on?" Inexplicably misunderstood as a abductor, Luo Qiuyun is also angry. She asks Luo Tianli to hide behind her with her children and stand in front of her. If the villagers dare to fight, she won't wait to die. It's a big deal to live in the mountains again.

Fortunately, although there are many villagers, they just surround Luo Qiuyun and don't start. Finally, they walk out of an old man with white hair.

"Where is the abductor?" The old man asked the villagers.

"Here it is."

One of them pointed to Luo Qiuyun and replied, "they are three."

"Nonsense." The old man took a look at Luo Qiuyun and yelled.

"What they look like is that That is... " The old man did not go on, but turned to ask Luo Qiuyun.

"Girl, can you tell us what's going on?"

Looking at the old man, Luo Qiuyun knew that he was the leader of the village, or Li Zheng, or the head of the village. He should be the head of the village a little more, so he nodded and said: "uncle, my brother and I just came down from the mountain and were looking for a place to settle down. Unexpectedly, when we entered the village, we encountered such a situation. I don't know what happened. Please give me some advice."

"It's just like this. It's all right, girl. Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings!" The old man explained: "a few days ago, many children in the village next door were abducted, so that people are in a panic recently. As soon as villagers find out that it's a abductor..."

"Ha ha, I thought our brothers and sisters didn't mean to offend you." Luo Qiuyun pretended to be relaxed and said: "since the misunderstanding has been clarified, it seems that the village does not welcome outsiders. My sister and brother should leave as soon as possible."

"Oh, wait, wait." Seeing that Luo Qiuyun was about to leave, the old man called them.

"Girl, it's getting late now. It's not safe for you to walk at night. If you don't like it, why don't you go to your old home and have a rest for a night and make plans tomorrow morning?"

"Well, does it make it hard for you to do it?" Luo Qiuyun pretends to be reserved.

"It's all right, girl, if you don't dislike it." Then the old man turned to the villagers and asked, "do you have any opinions on this?"

"No

"No

"Since it's a misunderstanding, we are not unreasonable people, so let's stay."

"Yes, yes. It's not safe to walk at night when it's dark. If something goes wrong, how can we be at ease?"

"Yes, just listen to the village head and stay."

After the old man asked questions, the villagers all knew that they had misunderstood Luo Qiuyun and others, and they stood up one after another to express their position.

Luo Qiuyun sees this, the court public humanity thanks, then took advantage of the situation to stay.

In the evening, he stayed at the village head's home. The village head is the old man who is a charity. He has been the village head for more than 30 years and has always been loved by the villagers.

There is an old wife and two sons in the family. The eldest son has been married for many years. His daughter-in-law, Wang's, gave birth to his eldest grandson, Xiao Hu, who is the same age as Luo Tianli. His youngest son just got married. His daughter-in-law, Li's, are all warm and friendly people. I heard that Luo Qiuyun's sister and brother had to live in the mountains in order to avoid the drought.

"Girl, since your brothers and sisters are going to settle down in the mountains, how about settling down in Chenjia village? Although chenjiacun is not rich, its people are simple and its neighborhood is good. If my younger brother goes to school, it's not too far to walk to the town sooner or later. " The old village head said tentatively.

Luo Qiuyun thought about it and responded: "I don't know if there are houses for sale in the village? If our brothers and sisters stay here, they must buy houses and buy some fields. "

"Buy a house? There is a family at the entrance of the village who moved away a few days ago. However, his family is relatively well-off, and they built blue brick houses, which were built only last autumn. They won't live long, and the asking price will be higher. " The old man said, worried that Luo Qiuyun couldn't accept it, and said, "if the girl is short of money, it's better to live in her old home for the time being, and then buy a homestead to build two thatched cottages when she is well off.""Thank you for your kindness. Can you tell me the price of that room? Although our brothers and sisters fled and fell here, they still had enough money to settle down before leaving home. "

"That's good. The price that the family asked me to sell is fifty Liang. He has all kinds of furniture. If you want, I can hold down the price for you and estimate that I can take forty Liang." The old man said so.

Seeing that Luo Qiuyun didn't have any opinions, he continued: "the girl said she wanted to buy land before. There are 20 mu of good land in front of his house. The price is reasonable. How much do you want?"

"Twenty acres? Six Liang per mu, a total of 120 Liang, is within the range of bearing. Is there any dry land nearby for sale? " Luo Qiuyun asked.

"Dry land? Let me see, "the old village head pondered, and later said," yes, there are. However, the land is connected with a mountain, with a total area of 180 mu. Moreover, it is not cost-effective for the seller to ask the buyer to buy the land together with the mountain. "

"Where is this place? What is the total price Luo Qiuyun asked.

The old village head said, "it's not far away. It's just behind the house I'm talking about. However, the seller is not the same person. If you want to buy it, the price can be lower. One or two silver per mu. Then the land in front of and behind the house will be yours."

"Even together, it's not bad. Let's buy it, village head. When can I drop the contract?" Luo Qiuyun thought about it and asked.

The old village head said, "tomorrow is OK, but I don't know whether the girl wants the red deed or the white one? If the red deed has to go to the Yamen in the town and ask them to give us the deed, we need to pay some money for the deed. "

"The red contract, when you get it, you don't have to fight." Luo Qiuyun doesn't mind spending a little more money. Anyway, it's all out. Why care about this little money.

"Well, your younger brother is a scholar. If he gets the red contract, he will be able to get tax-free if he is admitted as a scholar in the future. Although he will spend a few more money, if the government testifies, he won't have to worry about other people's encroachment." The old village chief sighed that it was obvious that Luo Qiuyun's just great efforts made him realize that they were not short of money. In addition, Luo Tianli thought he was a lady or a young master of a wealthy family when he wanted to go to school.

"You're old, please." Luo Qiuyun learned that the old village head would accompany him on the whole journey tomorrow. He was grateful from the bottom of his heart.

"Don't say that. What an old man should do." The old village head waved his hand and said modestly with a smile.

I got up early the next day and went to see the house and the fields. I felt that it was ok, so I paid the money. Then I went to the county to do the red deed together.

There are three deeds of house and land, seven liang of contract fee, forty liang of house price, three hundred and twenty liang of land, and five liang of intermediary fee for the old village head. The total cost is three hundred and seventy Liang, which is a little big. However, Luo Qiuyun doesn't feel so distressed when she thinks that it is plain money.

But as a result, the image of their sister and brother in the eyes of the villagers has changed dramatically, especially the old village head. Seeing Luo Qiuyun buy a house and land again, he took out several hundred taels of silver without blinking. His heart is more and more firm. His family used to be a big family, and his words are more polite than before.

Back from the yamen, seeing that it was still early, Luo Qiuyun took the child and led Luo Tianli to clean up the new house, ready to move in today.

Before leaving, the old village head's family was eager to stay. Unfortunately, Luo Qiuyun had decided to go. Seeing that the persuasion didn't move, they had to go back and ask for help.

As the old village head said earlier, the house is still good. It's made of green bricks and green tiles. It should be well furnished. It only takes a little time to clean it. The only thing missing is bedding. People forgot about it when they were in a hurry.

Although it's spring, the temperature is still very low at night. If there is no bedding, it may be cold. Luo Qiuyun doesn't care, but the two children don't, especially the little one. It's bad if he catches a cold accidentally.

Therefore, Luo Qiuyun must buy it before dark, but it's too late to go to the town now. She can find someone to buy it in the village, but she's new here, and she can't buy it without knowing the situation.

Later, thanks to the help of the old village head and his eldest daughter-in-law, they asked the families who were ready for the dowry for two sets and paid for them.

Because the first day of check-in, nothing is ready, Luo Qiuyun did not leave the old village head's family to eat, in return. However, they all live in the same village in the future, and the two families are not far away from each other. There must be a lot of contacts between them. It's not too late to return them!

Or when she settles down completely, she can invite everyone to have dinner together. Anyway, when the new house moves in, she needs to see the day's treat. She is not in a hurry.
