The whole family went into exile when they crossed, and evacuated the Hou's mansion all the way

Chapter 163 A Group of Sneaky Stone House Men

After such a long time, Xiao Yi's body has grown up a lot, and his ability to dig out diamonds has become faster than when he first arrived in the wilderness.

What's more, when opening a river on the surface of the ground, it can also turn its direction when it encounters stones. As long as the general direction is good, it can be done completely. The loess is several times easier and faster than digging stones.

Xiaoyi told Yu Luo that it would be able to connect the valley to the river in a maximum of two days. For this reason, Yu Luo directly brought out ten Chinese cabbages and rewarded it well!

Yu Luo, who was about to go out, suddenly saw a dozen men in the stone house in the distance, looking towards them, and walked a few steps towards their house from time to time.

That sneaky look made Yu Luo immediately take out his bow and crossbow vigilantly, and be on guard at any time.

"What do you want to do?"

Yu Luo opened his throat and yelled loudly at those people who were walking away from Baimi!
Ye Jiamei, who was lying in bed in the cave, jumped out of bed in shock when she heard her daughter's roar. Before she could put on her shoes, she ran out. crossbow.

"What do these people want to do?"

As soon as she came out, the panic on Ye Jiamei's face disappeared, and she immediately frowned, looking at the group of people, she was puzzled.

"I don't know. They have been watching our house from a distance for a while. Do they think everyone is going to open up wasteland, so these people want to take advantage of it?"

After Yu Luo finished speaking, Ye Jiamei immediately picked up the crossbow and aimed at those people in the distance. Without saying a word, she was about to pull the trigger!

A group of people in the distance watched Ye Jiamei's movements, and were so frightened that they immediately raised their hands above their heads, not daring to continue pretending to be deaf and dumb!

"Don't don't! We don't have any malicious intentions, don't do it, we just want to find a job, just like them!"

Perhaps when the Wanli Gang came, they saw the scene of them using the crossbow. Seeing that they were scared like cats, Yu Luo hurriedly reached out and took the crossbow from his mother's hand.

"Don't worry, maybe I really want to find a job."

Ye Jiamei didn't take it seriously, "When your father and those men were there just now, why didn't these people come? Come now, don't you see that we, mother and daughter, are easy to bully?"

"I don't think so. Maybe they are also afraid of dad and others. After all, we killed more than 100 people from the Wanli Gang. These people live nearby. They must have seen it with their own eyes. Naturally, they also feel guilty about us."

"Okay, I was still thinking about it, be careful when sailing for ten thousand years, Xiao Luo, if you trust people so much, aren't you afraid of losing money when the time comes?"

Hearing what his mother said, Yu Luo wanted to laugh.

I didn't know who it was before, but after leaving the hospital, it was just a silly, white and sweet one, with good intentions every day.

"Did you eavesdrop on our conversation?"

Yu Luo ignored his mother, and looked at the dozen or so men with a straight expression.

These men had unkempt beards. The half-foot-long beards were so sloppy that they covered most of their faces, making it impossible to see their appearance clearly.

Her hair was as messy as a chicken coop, knotted and muddy, as if it hadn't been washed for several years. The cotton clothes on her body were in tatters, with holes even visible through the cotton inside, but the cotton had long since turned black and dirty. .

It was not very warm yet, although the temperature during the day was already around ten degrees, but they had already put on their straw sandals.

At first glance, these people look like beggars, and their image is even worse than when they were exiled.

"I, we... Forget it, let me tell the truth. A few days ago, when we saw them carrying big and small bags of things back at the entrance of your cave, we were very moved. I don't know if you are in the same group and distributed food. That's why I was curious. I saw a lot of people gathered at the entrance of your cave that day, and they secretly came to listen to you and want to know your details. After all, no accidents, you and we will live here for a long time in the future, and we can take root here Yes, they are all from Lanyue Dynasty, they can be regarded as fellow villagers, although we are a little afraid of you, but we also want to get to know you, so we heard your conversation."

"Yes, girl, don't treat us as bad people. We also had our own difficulties when we were exiled back then, but we were implicated by our family. We have been here for many years, and there is no hope of going back. We just want to live a good life here, normal life."

"Yes, yes, we are only envious when we see that as soon as you come, you can find the cave in the stone wall, and you are so united, and there are many things in life. Now, since you can give us a chance to work, girl, can you also give it to us? Do we have a chance? We, we don’t need so much wages from them, we just want to exchange for some salt, some rice and noodles, and some cotton clothes and shoes.”

After one man finished speaking, the other man couldn't wait to explain in a hurry.

Yu Luo and Ye Jiamei listened patiently without interrupting.

However, Yu Luo admired their honesty. They really dared to eavesdrop on their conversation and even dared to admit it, but she also understood.

When people are in despair, they will naturally try their best to survive. They just want to live well. If they can see a little hope, who is willing to give up?

"I understand, it's okay to work, but we don't want people who are sneaky and slippery. As for the wages, I naturally won't pay you that much. It's ten cents a day. Help me dig one 100 meters in front of you." Let’s build a reservoir. My requirements are that it’s at least one point in size and ten feet deep. How many days do you think it will take to complete it?”

Hearing Yu Luo's words, the eyes of more than a dozen men burst out with excitement. After being surprised by Yu Luo's straightforwardness, they nodded excitedly and agreed!
"Okay, okay, if there are tools for digging the hole, a dozen of us will guarantee to dig it for you in three days, but if you want to keep the water from soaking, you have to find a way."

"The salary of ten Wen, don't you think it's too little?"

Yu Luo also made a deliberate attempt to give the wages of exploitation.

But when she saw the excitement in the eyes of a dozen people, she was a little surprised.

"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, the girl is willing to use us, we are already grateful, we can help the girl open up wasteland in the future, and work every day, as long as the girl gives us ten cents a day is enough."

"Yes, yes, but girl, can we buy food and supplies from you like them after earning money?"

Yu Luo felt a little sore in his heart and nodded.

"Okay, I will sell all the things to you who will help me with the work. It's just that today is the trial period. I have to see how you work."

"Probationary period? What, what does this mean? Can the girl explain it?"

"It means to do a day's work for nothing and not give you a penny, but you are willing."
