Chapter 204 Hope
Seeing the little girl's hesitation, Chi Hang didn't speak, just sat there and put all the strings on the cloth bag.

"This rabbit looks good." The little girl said to the people around her, "This little fox looks good too, as if it's real."

Hearing what the little girl said, the little girl next to her held a piglet in her hand and whispered, "This is also pretty."

Gradually, more and more girls surrounded Chi Hang.

Chi Hang wasn't in a hurry, except for yelling loudly at the beginning, he didn't speak at other times, just staring at the nets carefully.

"Brother," the little girl in a green dress looked up at Chi Hang, and whispered, "Can you make it cheaper, if I buy two."

Chi Hang glanced at the little girl hesitantly, and Huang Zuo couldn't bear it and said, "How about this, one is 25 Wen, and two are [-] Wen, it really can't be too low, this line must be a lot. "

"That works." The little girl quickly took out 26 copper coins from the purse, handed them to Chi Hang, and bought the two she liked.

The people next to him heard Chi Hang say that buying two would be four pennies cheaper, even if they were little girls they didn't know, if they bought one for each of them, they would just make two, and then the two would share the money equally.

Maybe too many little girls came over, Chi Hang only cared about collecting the money, waiting for them to be sold out, when Chi Hang raised his eyes, he saw that there were still many little girls standing there with empty hands and sullen.

Chi Hang packed up his things, took out a tael of silver to buy thread, and bought some pastries and some meat with the rest of the money, before returning home.

Perhaps it was because everyone in the family was with her, quietly, Lin Guyu couldn't help feeling flustered.

Throwing the rag aside, Lin Guyu walked towards the yard, looked around, but did not see Chi Hang coming back.

After feeding the chickens, ducks, geese and rabbits, Lin Guyu returned to the front yard, but still did not see Chi Hang's return, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Mrs. Zhao was sitting in the yard washing clothes, but when she saw Lin Guyu's gloomy look, she put her hands in a clean wooden basin to wash, and walked towards Lin Guyu.

"Gu Yu, what are you doing?" Seeing Lin Guyu's tense face, Zhao asked worriedly, "Have you had a fight?"

"No." Lin Guyu smiled and shook his head.

"Looking at your absent-minded appearance, I thought the two of you had a quarrel!" Mrs. Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly, "I'm alone at home, where's Chi Hang?"

"Go to town and help me bring something." Lin Guyu lowered his head.

It's strange to say that when Chi Hang was around, even if the two of them didn't talk, Lin Guyu felt comfortable in his heart and didn't feel flustered.

"A man should go out to work." Mrs. Zhao said solemnly, "You can't keep Chi Hang by your side forever, right?"

Zhao Shi knew exactly what Lin Guyu was thinking.

It is precisely because she sees it too clearly that Zhao's heart becomes more and more uncomfortable.

"Brother Chi Hang is back." Lin Guyu looked at Chi Hang who was walking towards this side not far away, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

Following Lin Guyu's line of sight, Mrs. Zhao felt even more worried when she saw Lin Guyu smiling like a flower.

"Mother-in-law." When Chi Hang came in, he called out respectfully.

"I saw that Gu Yu had been waiting for you, so I came over to have a chat. Since you are back, I will go back first." Zhao Shi said, turned and left.

Lin Guyu sent Zhao away with a smile, looked up at Chi Hang, and said worriedly, "Why did you come back so late, but what happened on the way?"

"It's okay. When I went today, there happened to be a fair. I saw that there were a lot of people buying things, so I set up a stall and sold them." Chi Hang said, walked to the wooden basin, washed his hands, wiped them clean, and then Supporting Lin Guyu, he walked towards the house.

Sitting on the small stool beside the bed, Chi Hang took out all the newly bought thread from the cloth bag.

Lin Guyu looked at so many threads, looked at Chi Hang with some surprise, and asked worriedly, "I bought so many threads, do you have money?"

"I pay fifteen Wen for one, and 26 Wen for two. Many people think it's cheaper to buy two, and many people come to buy them." Chi Hang said, handing over the cakes he bought for Lin Guyu and Dou Sha. Give Lin Guyu.

Lin Guyu carefully opened the oiled paper, looked at the soft pastry inside, and said with a smile, "Is this expensive?"

"It's not expensive." Chi Hang also took out the meat and hung it on the wall beside him, "I wanted to buy more, but the rest of the money was spent on meat."

As soon as he turned his head, Chi Hang touched something soft on his mouth.

Chi Hang pressed his/lips tightly and did not speak.

Chi Hang stepped back slightly, and when there was nothing on his mouth, he said, "I won't eat, you can just eat."

"If you don't eat it, I won't eat it either." Lin Guyu stubbornly brought the pastry in his hand to Chi Hang's mouth.

Chi Hang frowned slightly, seeing Lin Guyu's stubborn puckered mouth, couldn't help but said, "Just one."

The corners of Lin Guyu's mouth curled up, and he walked towards Chi Hang, and brought the pastry in his hand to Chi Hang's mouth.

Seeing Chi Hang finished eating with his own eyes, Lin Guyu sat by the bed and took out one to eat.

Lin Guyu wrapped up the remaining pastry with oiled paper cloth, and put it away, "I'll eat it when the bean paste comes back."

Chi Hang looked at the row of arrows on the corner of the wall and frowned slightly. If possible, he wanted to go hunting on the mountain.

Seeing Lin Guyu busy making a net, Chi Hang walked outside and turned the ground in the yard.

Estimated that the time was up, Chi Hang washed his hands and walked inside, "Gu Yu, start cooking, I'll pick up the bean paste, it's getting dark."

"Success." As soon as Lin Guyu looked up, he realized that it was already dark.

Early the next morning, when Lin Guyu got up, he heard the sound of gongs outside, which was the sound of gathering.

Lin Guyu washed it in a hurry, followed Chi Hang and walked outside.

When he got to the outside, he saw many people gathered in the middle of the field, and Lin Guyu saw Chi Ye standing on a high platform from a distance.

Chiye is back.

Lin Guyu suddenly heard Wang Xiaoqian's words, and frowned slightly.

"Everyone be quiet!" The village chief said to the crowd, and waited until there were not many voices around him, then nodded and bowed to Chiye, "Master County, tell me."

"Thank you." Chi Ye said softly to the village chief.

The village chief stood aside with a smile on his face, hunched over, with one hand behind his back, and the other holding a cane in front of him.

"Since the heavy rain, the village has been flooded," Chiye said calmly, sweeping his eyes over everyone, "I know everyone loves your land very much. Now, we have found some people, and they are all A good hand at opening mountains."

Hearing these words, Lin Guyu couldn't help but feel happy. Does this mean that they have hope to go home?

"They can help us dig the mountain. If we donate some more labor, we can break a hole in less than a month. When the water dries up, we can all go home."

After hearing what Chi Ye said, everyone was so excited.

"However," Chi Ye made a static gesture to everyone, and then said slowly, "There is no wages, just a lunch at noon."

Hearing what Chi Ye said, the people below were a little unhappy.

No money, only one meal, how can this be?
"There is everyone's fields there," Chiye frowned, looking at everyone like this, and said sharply, "And everyone's ancestral graves, don't you want to go home? There is a batch that is enough for everyone to eat until the summer, don’t you want to start farming next spring, and everyone will not have to pay taxes next year, and the harvest will be yours.”

Hearing what Chi Ye said, everyone stopped talking.

"Everyone don't have to worry, everything is voluntary." Chi Ye looked at everyone with a cold face, "That's the end of the matter. If you want to go home early, we will gather at the foot of the mountain tomorrow."

After speaking, the crowd dispersed.

Mrs. Zhou looked at Chi Ye with joy, and waited for Chi Ye to come down from the stage and walk in front of Mrs. Zhou, "Mother, for this kind of work, we need someone from our family, otherwise there will be no one to do the work." .”

"That's natural." Listening to Chi Ye's sincere words, Zhou's expression became even more joyful, "Your eldest brother and your third brother will both go by then."

"I'm not going." Chi Hang continued with a cold face, "I have other things."

Originally, when Mrs. Zhou was happy to see that he was the son of the county lord, all the joy disappeared at this moment.

"What can you do? Follow your wife all day long," Zhou said, looking at Chi Hang with his hands crossed over his chest, and said angrily, "Let me tell you, honest work is the right thing to do." .”

Looking at Lin Guyu, the expression on Zhou's face paused.

"Third brother has other things to do." Chi Ye looked at the tense look, and said, "After all, there are so many people eating, I thought, let third brother help hunting, see if I can get some meat .”

"That's okay." Mrs. Zhou replied with a smile, and Mrs. Zhou agreed with what Chiye said now.

Mrs. Zhou grabbed Chi Ye's arm and walked towards the house, muttering, "You don't know, your second brother was injured a few days ago, otherwise I would too"

"Sister-in-law three." A familiar female voice sounded behind Lin Guyu.

Turning his head to look at the man, when he saw Wang Xiaoqian, he shrugged helplessly and shook his head lightly, "Maybe there is nothing I can do to help."

"It's okay," Wang Xiaoqian looked at Chi Ye's leaving back and said softly, "Can I go to your house to play for a while, that way."

Seeing Wang Xiaoqian like this, Lin Guyu nodded helplessly.
