Starting from the Greyhound, seventy-two changes

Dachen Village has turned into a complete mess.

Obviously this was a premeditated robbery, starting with big landlords like Guo Xiangshen, and then spreading to the entire village, robbing as much as they could.

The entire village was filled with refugees who couldn't tell whether they were humans or ghosts. They were screaming and screaming, accompanied by screams and screams from the villagers' resistance.

In less than an hour, seven or eight people had died, including villagers and refugees.

When Chen Ku quietly returned to the dilapidated cave dwelling, he found that his mother and sister-in-law were holding Hu Zi and were still safe in the dilapidated cave dwelling.

No interruption.

After feeling relieved, I went back to my home.

I found that my home had indeed been broken into by refugees.

The results tonight were clear.

His family was extremely poor. There was no food stored at all, and not many valuable things were thrown away. They were just turned into a mess.

Even so, after Chen Ku went into the kitchen and the house to look around, two beddings were still taken away, and the half jar of salt in the kitchen was also lost.

Chen Ku secretly cursed: "These locust ghosts!!"

From what you can see, you can see that even his family, which didn't store much food, was plucked by geese. You can imagine what the families in the village who did store food are experiencing now.

Others can't take care of it, but Ji Yang, Mr. Li, and Brother Zhao's family still have to take care of them. After all, it's okay if the food is robbed, but it's bad luck if people are killed in the chaos.

Just when Chen Ku was walking towards Master Li's house.

A man suddenly appeared on the road, and Chen Ku subconsciously wanted to take action, but he heard the voice of Hei Wa, the long-term worker of Guo Xiangshen's family, and he was very excited:

"Brother Chen Ku, I've been looking for you for a long time. The squire is asking you for help. The gang of beheaded refugees haven't left even after they've eaten. They're robbing every house. The squire asked me to come to you for help. As long as you can save their family. For your safe life, the squire is willing to give you another ten acres of land as a thank you gift."

Ten acres of land!

Chen Ku thought that Guo Xiangshen was generous enough.

You know, one acre of land is worth five or six taels of silver, and ten acres of land is worth five or six taels of silver.

And in the countryside.

Land is sometimes more important than money.

If you have enough land, you will automatically become a landlord.

Squire Guo has more than 100 acres of land in the village. Even when his family is lying down at home, they can eat chicken, duck and fish. He can be said to be a wealthy man with a net worth of thousands of taels.

If he takes over these ten acres of land, plus the seven acres of land he originally owned at home, for a total of seventeen acres, my wife and sister-in-law will definitely not be able to farm so much, so they will have to recruit tenants and take care of long-term and short-term workers. In a sense …

Chen Ku suddenly changed and entered the landlord class.

Something moved in my heart.

"Okay, you go back and reply first, I'll be there soon."

Hei Wa nodded excitedly.

They had all seen the deeds of Brother Chen Ku who knocked over the old scalper in the field.

Chen Ku watched Hei Wa leave.

I thought to myself, I had received the kindness and banquet from Mr. Guo a few days ago, and I had to pay it back. Now that I have been given ten more acres of land, there is no reason not to go.

However, things have their own weight, and people have their closeness.

Chen Ku still looked at his close friends in the village as usual.

When he arrived at the door of Brother Zhao's house, he found that there was blood all over the floor outside. He was slightly shocked and shouted inside quickly: "Brother Zhao, are you okay at home?"

Hearing the sound, Zhao Liangcai's voice came from the window, and he seemed to be relieved: "It's Brother Chen. My family is fine. Don't worry. The blood outside the house is the blood of those who were beheaded by my arrows. I shot two people." If you don’t have an arm, no one will dare to come in. Don’t worry about my house, just go to Mr. Li’s house and have a look.”

Chen Ku felt relieved and said, "Then be careful here."

After a while, he arrived at Ji Yang's house, but when he saw that Li Jiyang's house had been emptied, he was slightly moved and quickly went in to look for someone.

After a while, Chen Ku walked out with thoughts:

"The granary is clean and there are no signs of robbery."

Immediately, he figured it out.

Master Li is worthy of being Master Li. He is the veteran leader of the mountain trekking and has led the way for his brother. The three words "Lao leader" often mean that only those who are careful, cautious, and wise can be the leader of the herb collection team.

Seeing that there was no one at home and the granary was clean, I guessed it.

"I can think of relocating my family members. As a shrewd leader, it is not difficult for Mr. Li to think of it. Not only that, he estimated that when he heard the news, he secretly hid the food he received. We know where it is. Now when the refugees come, they just need to hide their families like me and let the refugees raid the house. As long as the food and people are fine, it’s not a big loss if there’s nothing missing in the house.”

I feel that this guess is probably correct.

Chen Ku was relieved.

"I guess many people in the village have thought of this method, but it is limited to small households with three or four acres of land and not much food. On the contrary, Guo Xiangshen's family is an example. The gate Big households, there is so much food in the granary that it is almost overflowing, and even if you want to transfer it in a short time..."

Chen Ku knew that he could not delay any longer and had to hurry over and take a look.

Don't let the refugees really beat Squire Guo to death.

…………

Squire Guo's house was full of refugees who had taken advantage of the chaos and looting. The granary had been completely destroyed. The young men who had been gathered from the village and the long-term workers in his village had long since failed to hold on and were wiped out.

Guo Xiangshen's family was forced to the stable and hid secretly in the haystack.

There are seven members of the family, including the mother, wife, son, daughter-in-law, and a daughter who is fifteen or sixteen years old. They all have dark faces, deliberately blackened, pretending to be refugees.

"Dad, all our food has been robbed by these gangsters!!" Although Guo Wen was hiding, his eyes were filled with tears and he wanted to rush out of the stable and fight with that group of people.

"My ancestor, please calm down!" Old Mrs. Guo grabbed her grandson's sleeves anxiously: "Those are all external things, and life is the most important thing."

"But, but, those are all our family's things!" Guo Wen felt anxious.

Squire Guo gritted his teeth and cursed his son angrily in a low voice: "You unsatisfactory son of a bitch, you know nothing. It's just some food, nothing is more valuable than life and gold."

His mother whispered to her son: "Silly son, your father is right. Also, your father secretly hid all our gold and silver treasures and account books while entertaining those beheaders. It’s just some food left. It doesn’t matter if it’s gone. The most important thing is to save our lives.”

Guo Xiangshen looked at his dull son, gritted his teeth and said: "Even if we take another ten thousand steps, our family will have nothing, and we still have to live. Your father, I know how to turn from poor to rich. Remember it, Living is the most important thing.”

And while the family was hiding in the stable talking.

Suddenly, a torch lit up the stable.

Behind the torch was the gray snake who called the door before.

He grinned: "Let me tell you, I haven't found Mr. Guo's family for a long time. It turns out he is hiding with the beasts."

Gray Snake held a torch in one hand and a pronged fork in the other.

All of a sudden, Guo Squire's family of seven felt like they were mourning for a heir.

Guo Xiangshen's eyes turned dark and he trembled: "Brother Gray Snake, you have opened the granary. How much grain do you want to move? Just go and move it. Why are you going to embarrass my family?"

"You want food? Those hungry ghosts are the ones asking for food. Who said I want food too!"

Gray Snake showed a dangerous smile, and then stared at the daughter of Guo Xiangshen's family:

"Your daughter is really good-looking. Her face is smeared, she is so delicate, and she still has an oval face... Mr. Guo, how much do you think it is worth for me not to touch her?"

As he said that, he stuck the torch next to the stable.

He pointed the fork at Guo Xiu's neck, then stretched out his free hand and grabbed Guo Xiu's neck by the collar.

"Dad! Brother! Save me!"

Guo Xiu let out a cry of fear.

However,

Her brother, whom she regarded as her biggest savior, looked at the fork at this moment. He was so frightened that he shrank back a few times.

Guo Xiu suddenly despaired.

Just when she thought she was going to be screwed.

call!

call!

call!

A gust of wind blew through the air fiercely, directly blowing Guo Xiu's hair on her forehead and causing her clothes to sway.

Then a figure stood on her left side.

Bang! !

The gray snake holding the fork lay directly on his back and fell heavily into the stable. He immediately lost his breath and died.
