Smallholder Farming Daily

Chapter 87

The pig was dirty and smelly, and Qian Feng didn't want to hug it, but Pomegranate went up to hug her. This was accompanied by her natal family, so she had to protect it.Back in the house, Shiliu put the pig down, and the pig ran around the room, Qian Feng went straight to hide on the bed, Shiliu was disturbed by the pig and had nowhere to hide, so she had to take off her dirty clothes and jump on the bed.

The two were nestled on the bed, the pigs were screaming and screaming in the room, Qian Feng's scalp was numb, "Pomegranate, so the beggars won't snatch it if they hide in the room?"

"They didn't dare to enter the house to rob, only dared to steal from the vegetable field, and some people dared to jump into the yard to steal things. The year before last, they fished out many people's pickles from the vat and stole them, and many people's pigs also They caught them. Don't worry, we'll be fine hiding in the house."

Qian Feng saw two large vats of pickled vegetables stuffed into a small room, and several jars, two loads of baskets full of vegetables were placed higher than a person, and a pig was still jumping up and down on the stool, he was very surprised. small.

The more Qian Feng thought about it, the more useless he became. How could he, a big man, hide in the house like this? Could it be that the Beggar Gang dared to steal others away?

Qian Feng got out of bed, and the little pig came to his feet and arched.

"Pomegranate, you stay indoors, I'll go out and have a look." Qian Feng put on his shoes and was about to go out.

Shiliu was shocked, she ran over to grab Qian Feng without her shoes on, "No, no! Now the vegetable field is empty, the yard is also empty, and the beggar gang has nothing to take, will they beat people?"

"It's okay. They are beggars and not devils. They don't know how to beat people. You stay in the house, and I will watch at the door."

Seeing that Qian Feng insisted on going out, Shi Liu couldn't stop her and had to follow. She was not willing to let Qian Feng go out alone, and if someone beat her, she could step forward and protect her.

Qian Feng came out, and Pomegranate followed quietly.Qian Feng stood at the gate of the courtyard and looked around, but he didn't see a single person. When he turned his head, he saw Pomegranate following him, "What are you doing here? They don't want men. If you are a woman, you have to hide it. It’s not good to have a bad thought.”

Shiliu stood side by side with him, "I'm not afraid, many people say that I look reassuring, and bad men won't make bad decisions when they see me."

Qian Feng became angry, "Who said this? Tell me quickly, I'll settle the score with him!"

Shiliu didn't know why Qian Feng was suddenly angry, "My natal family said it, many people said it, and I can't remember. Ah! They...they are here!"

Shiliu tugged at Qian Feng's arm, "Come in, I'm scared!"

Qian Feng pushed the pomegranate into the house, but he sat on the stool at the door, waiting for the group of ragged people to come.Shiliu hid inside and looked out from the crack of the door. If Qian Feng was in danger, she would rush out.

The people in the family heard the movement outside and knew that Qian Fengtian was not afraid to wait for the beggars outside. Except for Songqiu and Sui'er who were locked in the house, everyone else came to the yard and looked out through the crack of the door together with Pomegranate. .

Father Qian and Qian Tong each held a shovel, ready to go out and fight with others at any time.

Qian Feng sat on the stool with his legs crossed, and played with a piece of withered grass from the edge of the courtyard wall.

What kind of broken beggars' gang, there are only a few dozen people, as long as the villagers surround them, they will definitely beat them to death.But the people in the village are so cowardly for some reason, they just hide and dare not fight with others.Qian Feng sighed and looked at the people walking towards him.

The beggar gang now has No. 50 members. They split up the road to search for things. At this time, only one leader led six people towards Qian Feng.

"Boss, boss! There is someone! Look at his frightened look, he is probably waiting for us!" The little beggar stopped and did not dare to move forward.

The leader was a strong man in his early thirties. He glanced at Qian Feng and waved his hand behind him, making the people behind him afraid to move forward.

The boss felt that Qian Feng was a bit weird, "This kid is not telling us about empty plans, is he?"

Qian Feng was still there waving at them, "Come here if you have the guts!"

The boss hesitated for a moment, and said to the people behind him, "Follow up, there is nothing to be afraid of. Ten to one we are afraid of nothing. Nine beggars, go and call everyone over, scare him to death!"

Jiuqi'er called for someone to go, and the boss brought a few people to stand in front of Qian Feng.

Qian Feng looked up at them, all of them were dirty and smelly, their clothes were torn and not mended, they were full of holes, they all looked like beggars.

Qian Feng narrowed his eyes to look at the boss, and asked wonderingly: "You stole so many things the year before last, why are you still so poor?"

Seeing that Qian Feng was so calm, the boss felt a little guilty, and replied: "We are number 50, and we don't know how much food we spend every day just to eat, and we have to support our family. How can we be poor if we are beggars?"

Qian Feng frowned, "Then why do you want to be beggars and just work hard at home?"

The boss squatted down and looked at Qian Feng at the same level, "Little brother, is your brain not working well? If we have land and land, why should we be beggars? We children of the beggar gang have lost their land. Every year there are so many The households have lost their fields. Over the years, they have accumulated more and more, and the situation has become bigger and bigger. After all, it is just to make a living. If your family has surplus food, you can use it to provide some for us. We will find out along the way. All the vegetables in the villages have been harvested, and not a single chicken can be seen, so it’s not good to be so hungry.”

Qian Feng didn't talk about surplus food first, but asked, "How did you lose your land?"

The boss may have been tired from walking all the way, seeing that Qian Feng didn't look like a man who sang empty plans, so he sat anywhere and chatted with Qian Feng, "If you want to talk about the fields, it will take a long time. Let me make a long story short, let me talk about my own family first. When there was a severe drought, my brother and people from the neighboring village beat him to death for grabbing water to irrigate the fields. My whole family was arrested and imprisoned in the county. On the [-]th, the government finally compensated all my family’s land. My family has no land and no land. How can I live on it? I can’t do business and I can’t find a place to do coolies, so I can only come out to beg for food. When you meet a few like-minded people, you will beg for food together, and in the end, you will create such a big gang of beggars, and you can get food and send it home to support the family, hehe."

Seeing that the boss was quite proud, Qian Feng couldn't help laughing and said: "Oh, it's quite an honor. One person is in charge of No. 50 people, which is more prestigious than officials. In fact, I can give you a dozen catties of food. I'm not a stingy person, but with so many of you, each of you can only get one bowl of rice, and if you eat today, there will be no tomorrow."
