Chapter 702 704. Lai San
Aunt Lai looked up, if it was in the past, she must have chosen it by hand, but today she is really not in the mood.

"You are getting older now, do you want to continue like this forever?"

Lai San laughed, "Auntie, isn't this good? You don't have to pay taxes, and you don't have to serve in the military. Although you don't have a fixed place to live, the advantage is that you don't have to worry about it.

Auntie, I know what you're going to say, but I think it's good for one person to feed and the whole family not to be hungry. Otherwise, even if you find a way to marry a wife for me, I won't be able to provide them with anything. "

After finishing speaking, she smiled and looked at her cousin behind her, "If the brothers have a happy event, I, as a cousin, can still accompany the gift."

This is also the most he can give, and this gift is still a bit light.

"Don't be joking with me here. Last time your cousin told you about the government's notice, now I'm asking you what you think?"

"What else can you think? That's probably a lie, aunt, don't trust them too much.

Maybe it's because there is a shortage of labor here, or the officials want political achievements and want to deceive us. "

"Don't you know how to inquire about it?" Aunt Lai gritted her teeth and said, "I can tell you, this is really not a lie.

I specially asked your eldest cousin to inquire, the government really has people doing things.

I heard that there was a change of official here, and the emperor also allocated a large sum of money, and now he is working in full swing.

If you can take this opportunity to resettle your household registration and get a few acres of land, it's a good life, why go to the mountains to hide? "

Lai San turned to look at his elder brother who had slipped in, "Big cousin, is what my aunt said true?"

The big cousin was not good at words, and nodded silently.

Aunt Lai, "He can't lie at all, don't you believe it?"

Lai San suddenly felt that his head was swollen and his heart was beating extremely fast. If this was true, who would want to stay in the mountains.

"I don't care if you like it or not, this time you have to listen to my aunt. Don't go back to the mountain again. I'll ask your cousin to take you to the yamen later."

Hearing the word yamen, Lai San immediately came back to his senses, shaking his head vigorously, "I won't go to the yamen."

Those who go may not be able to come back. Thinking about it, I feel a little scary.

Seeing her nephew's hopeless appearance, Aunt Lai scolded, "You bastard, will Auntie let you go if you're not sure about things?

The eldest aunt's natal family, with only you as a relative now, of course it is for your own good.

I have asked your cousin to go to the yamen to ask, and those poor people have a good attitude.

He even promised that if you were the first to sign up for the territory, not only would you be given two more acres of land and a complete set of farm tools, but you would also be given two taels of silver to settle down.

If this is preempted by others, these conditions will be gone.

I originally thought that if you don't come down these few days, I will ask your brothers to go up to find you, and you will have to be knocked down with drums and gongs. "

Lai San lowered his head and pursed his lips, "..." I don't believe that my aunt really dared to do this.

"I'm talking to you, did you hear me? Don't change your things, let your cousin take you to the yamen while it's still early."

Lai San saw that his aunt had stood up and prepared to make arrangements, so he hurriedly said, "Auntie, even if you want to go, there is no rush. I have to change the salt and send it to the mountain."

Even if you want to go, you have to call other brothers for such a good thing.

"Can't you just listen to my aunt? The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and I also want to have a reunion year.

I also want to have a mother’s home to go back to on the second day of the new year, and it’s not a big problem to send the salt one day later. "

Lai San, "Gu, I want to tell the brothers on the mountain that I have been taken care of by them all these years, and if there is a good thing, I can't let them go."

Aunt Lai was silent. The locals knew better that those who were forced to become bandits on the mountain had no choice but to do so.

Who wants to live without a fixed place if they can survive in the village.

She sighed, "Then you go and come back quickly. If they don't want to, you have to come here too. Auntie is in charge of this matter. You can't lie to me."

Lai San nodded quickly, "Auntie, see if there is anything you want to change? This rabbit and pheasant were both hunted this morning, and they are relatively fresh."

Aunt Lai, "...then I want a rabbit! Smoke it and add it to the Chinese New Year."

If in the past, how dare they be so extravagant, there are so many boys in the family, they can't always be single.

She turned her head to look at the sons behind her, and her heart moved. She really had to go to the yamen to ask, and she wondered if they could get a few acres of wasteland in the situation like theirs?

Lai San changed the salt very quickly, mainly because it was approaching the end of the year, and everyone wanted to prepare two meat dishes to keep at home, so that they would be able to take out when there were guests.

Carrying the exchanged salt on his back, he turned around along the familiar path and returned to the cave before dark.

"You are fast, just in time for dinner." Lai Dafa, who cooks, is a clan brother in his village, and he was relieved to see him come in.

Fortunately, we arrived before dark, otherwise the mountain would not be so safe after dark.

Lai San carefully placed the salt jar in the corner, "I ran up all the way, it was getting dark early, why hasn't the big guy come back today?"

There is no one else in this entire cave except Lai Dafa.

"They went to the ditch ahead to clean their prey, and not long after you went down the mountain, a small wild boar fell into the trap.

When everyone was picking up prey, a big wild boar rushed over suddenly. It took a lot of effort to catch the wild boar.

But Zeng Xiaowang was also injured and was lying inside. "

What Lai Dafa said was behind a pile of haystacks, no wonder Lai San didn't notice it just now.

"Is it serious?" Lai San asked with some concern. There is a lack of medical treatment and medicine in this place. If the injury is serious, it can only be resigned to fate.

"I was kicked on my thigh, and some blood came out. We found some herbs and managed to stop the bleeding.

I don't know if that leg will survive. "Lai Dafa's voice was getting deeper and deeper, and he was just saying it for the better.

In the past, when encountering this kind of situation, many people would develop a fever, gradually become confused, and slowly lose their lives.

They wanted to send people down the mountain for treatment, but they didn't have money in their hands, and even those doctors couldn't do free work and didn't know how to use medicinal materials.

"Then I'll go and see," Lai San said solemnly. Zeng Xiaowang, who was still joking with him yesterday, saw that his life and death were uncertain, and he felt quite uncomfortable.

I couldn't help but think of what my aunt said in my mind, and my heart became even more confused.

Zeng Xiaowang lay pale in the haystack, unaware of Lai San's arrival.

Lai Sanhong blinked her eyes, didn't dare to make a sound to wake up the other party, and then slowly backed out.
