The two took a step forward, seeing Jiang Quan retreating vigilantly, they hurriedly said, "Don't be afraid, we just want to ask you something."

Jiang Quan was still on guard, "You won't go to the village to inquire about something, why are you following me in such a sneaky way?"

"Sorry, we didn't mean to do this." It was because the little brother was too focused and thoughtful, that he didn't notice the two of them.

A man with a square face said: "We just want to find out if there is someone named Wen Fu here."

Jiang Quan frowned and looked the two of them up and down.

Seeing that their hair was dirty, their clothes and pants were in tatters, and their feet were bare, they were about the same age as their father, so they couldn't help being more vigilant. "Aren't you going to ask other people? There are a lot of people in the village, why are you sneaking up and asking me?"

Fang Lian was silent for a moment, and said: "To tell you the truth, we brothers do not have identity guides. Recently, inspections have been strict everywhere. In order to avoid trouble, we are not sure whether the person we are looking for is in front of us. It is not easy to go to the village. Excuse me, Wen Fu is a relative of the two of us, we are here to join him, please let me know."

When Jiang Quan heard what he said, he believed it a little bit.

But it's still not appropriate to take the two refugees into the village rashly.

After pondering for a moment, he nodded and said, "There is indeed someone named Wen Fu, but I don't know if he is the person you are looking for."

The other person was overjoyed, and quickly said: "It must be, we have inquired before, he is a servant of the Wen family, and he came to Qinchuan County with the fourth wife of the Wen family earlier, so we came all the way."

Jiang Quan believed it when he heard it, "Okay, you guys wait here, I've asked Uncle Wen."

After that, he took the chisel and ran away.

Emma, ​​it's too scary. No matter how you look at them, they look like gangsters.

No, I must tell third uncle that they are here to arrest them.

snort!When he was a child, what kind of person did he not see?

Whether they are relatives of Uncle Wen can only be decided after interrogation.

Jiang Quan ran all the way back to the village.

Now the south slope has become a large-scale village, with rows of houses row upon row.

The yards of each household are about the same size, and the vegetable gardens in front of the yards are also neatly arranged.

Most of the villagers have moved here to live. On the wide and solid village roads, there are children running around and playing from time to time.

Jiang Sanlang was instructing the villagers to build a fungus shed, when he suddenly saw Jiang Quan running out of breath: "Uncle San, there are two refugees over there in the bamboo forest. They said they were looking for Uncle Wen, and that they were relatives of Uncle Wen."

Refugees?

The refugees who appeared at this time should not be taken lightly.

Jiang Sanlang frowned, and immediately asked several people to go to the bamboo forest to surround him, and sent another child to find Wen Fu.

Wen Fu was helping out at the school, when he heard that someone was looking for him, he rushed to the bamboo forest with Jiang Sanlang.

Listening to Jiang Quan's narration, if he guessed correctly, these two people should be his former subordinates.

When they arrived at the bamboo forest, they saw two people squatting on the edge of the forest and looking around. Seeing Hula surrounded by many villagers, they were startled and turned around to go into the bamboo forest.

"Zhang Meng! Xu Kun!" Wen Fu shouted.

The two of them paused, turned to look at Wen Fu, tears welled up in their eyes, "Jiang...Brother Fu!"

Wen Fu stepped forward quickly, hugged Zhang Meng and Xu Kun who also rushed forward, and all three of them wet their clothes with tears.

Seeing this, Jiang Sanlang asked the villagers to disperse first, while he waited aside.

The three talked in low voices for a while, Wen Fu came to Jiang Sanlang and clasped his fists together, "These two are my righteous brothers, and now they have nowhere to find a way to survive, please take Jiang Langjun in."

Jiang Sanlang frowned, looked at the two of them, and asked, "Are they innocent?"

"Innocence, I guarantee with the head that the two of them are definitely not criminals, and they have nothing to do with bandits." Wen Fu swore.

Jiang Sanlang looked at the two of them and asked, "Do you have any household registration guides?"

The two were stunned, and Xu Kun said: "To be honest, we came from Yizhou, and we have no household registration guide."

"Yizhou? Is it Yizhou where wars often occur?" Jiang Sanlang had heard people mention Yizhou, but when the imperial court conscripted troops, a small half of them went to that place.

"Yes." Xu Kun said: "We were originally border guards and were sent back to our hometown due to injuries. However, life in the countryside is not easy, and we have no relatives at home, so we came to join Brother Fu."

In fact, the reason is more than that, but that's all they can say.

Xu Kun stretched out his right hand to show Jiang Sanlang, there was only one thumb and half index finger left on the right hand, and the other three fingers were all stretched out.

Pointing at Zhang Meng again, "One of his legs is injured."

Jiang Sanlang turned his head to look at Zhang Meng, and sure enough he saw that he was walking with a limp.

"In that case, you guys come with me first." Since he was not a deserter or a bandit, Jiang Sanlang felt relieved.

Looking at these two people again, although they are embarrassed, they are also upright, unlike those who are waiting for Xiao Xiaoxiao.

And Wen Fu is a servant of the Wen family, and his words and deeds are also connected with the Wen family, presumably there will be no major problems.

Jiang Sanlang took the two of them back to the village, and went directly to Patriarch Chen to explain the matter.

Patriarch Chen didn't object to taking them in, he just said to let them help the village first, and if they performed well, they could explain the situation to Lizheng and apply for a new household registration for them.

"If they keep doing their duty, they can apply for admission as refugees. I see that although they are disabled, they are physically strong. Why don't they help clean up the road in the village?"

There is a large area of ​​earth-moving houses in the village. During the transportation of construction materials, the road surface will inevitably be damaged, so it is necessary to find someone to fill in the soil and repair it.

It was tiring, tedious, and unprofitable work, and no one wanted to do it.

It just so happened that two strong laborers came, so there was no need for nothing.

"That's fine, when the time comes, each household will provide a little food to support their living." Jiang Sanlang said.

Since helping the village level the road is working for the whole village, there is no reason to ask a certain family to pay for the food, so the whole village must work together.

The patriarch had no objection: "That's the way to do it. Later, let someone do the calculation. The rations and daily expenses of these two people will be shared equally by the whole village."

"it is good."

Jiang Sanlang met the patriarch, and Zhang Meng and Xu Kun also had their way.

He took the two of them to the thatched hut next to their vegetable garden, and said, "You two will live here for the time being, and when you have status, I will allocate a plot of land to build a house for you."

Chu Chu didn't come back, and Wei Zhan lived with Hu Zi all the time, so the hut was vacant all the time, just for these two people to stay temporarily.

"Thank you Jiang Cunzheng." Zhang Meng and Xu Kun clasped their fists at Jiang Sanlang, very happy in their hearts, they didn't dislike the small hut at all.

Jiang Sanlang nodded, and went back to bring them two old quilts, two old jackets, two pairs of old shoes, and some pots and pans.

Afterwards, the villagers were asked to raise some rice, noodles, and salt, so that they could cook for themselves.

The next day, Zhang Meng and Xu Kun officially went to work.

One picked soil to fill holes, and the other leveled the road, doing it without complaint or regret.

Jiang Sanlang observed them for a few days, seeing that there was no abnormality, he was a little relieved.

In the blink of an eye, it was the middle of winter, and the weather was extremely cold.

The construction of houses in the village has come to an end, and the school has also been built.

The school was funded by Jiang Sanlang, the head of the clan, and several elders of the clan. It was divided into two courtyards for men's school and women's school, twelve rooms, plus interior decoration furniture, desks and chairs, etc., spent a total of more than 200 taels of silver .

After apportioning it, Jiang Sanlang paid more than 40 taels.

The money is well spent, because the children of Jiangjia Village can also come to school here in the future.

The men's school has six rooms with a yard, and the women's school is the same, with a high wall separating the two yards.

The first three inverted seats are classrooms, and the last three can be used by the husband and his family.

Mrs. Wen moved in with her daughter and servants shortly after the school was built, and took in several female students at a time.

These girls are not very old, ranging from six to ten years old.

The reason why the villagers are willing to spend money to send their daughters to study is because they hope that they can read and write like Yingbao and Erni.

I don't want to be able to practice medicine in the future to support my family, but I hope my daughter can find a good husband's family in the future.
