Chapter 1501 Xiaobei Village

Liu Baihu also said with a sad face: "Yes, Sanlang, it's already halfway through Shenshi, and it will be dark in a few hours. Where are we, nearly three thousand people, going to stay?"

Cao Baihu didn't ask. Since Qin Sanlang wanted to be the leader of this army, he had to solve these problems. If he couldn't even find a place to set up camp, he was not qualified to be the leader.

Qin Sanlang pointed to the opposite side of the inn and said: "Enter this trail and walk for more than two-quarters of an hour. There is an open space. Let's camp there."

Cao Baihu was shocked when he heard this and frowned: "Sanlang, what are you talking about? There is an open space when you enter from the path on the right? How is it possible? Even if there is an open space, it has been occupied by others. With so many soldiers, the post station has a radius of three miles." The land has been taken up, so can it be our turn?"

"Old Cao, why are you asking so many questions? Are you not happy with the free space to camp? Let's go quickly." Jin Baihu believed in Qin Sanlang. This guy was very serious and never told lies. He took the lead when he heard what he said. , ran away with his soldiers, hoping to occupy a good position.

Qin Sanlang did not lie to everyone. He entered from the path on the right and after walking for more than two quarters of an hour, there was really a large open space.

Rather than saying it is an open space, it is more like a village close to Fucheng. However, the open space in the village was rented in advance by Uncle Mutong, who spent fifty taels of silver to rent it for a month.

They were able to successfully rent this land because Uncle Mutong and the others happened to save the village chief's Yao'er when they were looking for land rent.

Wan Cun, the elder of Xiaobei Village, got an old man after he was over fifty, and he was very doting on him. However, the youngest son suddenly fell ill a few days ago. Fainted.

Seeing that he was about to die, Uncle Mutong and the others happened to be looking for a place nearby, and they happened upon him. After a round of injections and medicine, the child was saved.

Village Chief Wan was very grateful, but Xiaobei Village did not want to get involved in the resistance against the Rong army. Because someone from the Wan family's direct lineage worked as an errand in the Beicang government office and had the ability to protect the village, he never gave way to the passing army. Enter the village and set up camp.

The leader of the army must have seen blood on his hands. Xiaobeicun did not want such a dangerous person to enter the village.

However, Xiaobei Village does business with merchants and allows merchants to stay in the village.

First, the merchants are rich and can earn dozens of taels of silver by staying in the village for one night. Second, the merchants are not like soldiers. They have few men and dare not commit evil in the village, so the villagers can be safer.

But Uncle Mutong saved Wanliubao and promised that the soldiers would not enter the village, would not cause trouble to the village, would only camp in the open space in front of the village, and would only draw water from the old well next to the village entrance. Village Chief Wan Only then did he agree.

"Hey, is this Brother Tongzi from the Gu family? Did you find this place? Let me just say, with Brother Tongzi here, can the brothers have a place to camp?" Jin Baihu said as soon as he saw Uncle Mutong After saying a few good words, he pointed to the largest and best tunnel and said, "This is reserved for our soldiers, thank you very much, Brother Tongzi!"

Uncle Mu Tong couldn't hear what he said, but Uncle Mu Tong was a seasoned man and didn't let Jin Baihu take advantage. He said: "Jin Baihu, our adults have divided these lands among you. This is the map. It's above Whoever’s name is marked is whose campground is marked.”

As he said this, he handed a map to Jin Baihu to look at.

Jin Baihu was unhappy: "Lao Mu, this is boring to you. We soldiers are all about first come, first served. Lao Jin, I am the fastest runner. Why can't I choose a piece of land by myself?"

Uncle Mutong: "My master has said that there is no rule without rules. The military is a place where rules are the most important. Everything must be done according to the rules. Please don't embarrass the villain."

Jin Baihu was very unhappy. He ran so fast just to get a good place, but it turned out that the place had been allocated long ago, and it was Qin Sanlang who allocated it. He didn't even have a chance to say no.

But he was a little afraid of Qin Sanlang. That boy was an evil spirit and could not be offended, so he did not dare to disobey Qin Sanlang's orders.

"Okay." Jin Baihu could only accept it, and pointed to a large piece of dead forest in the distance and said: "Is there an owner of that forest? Can we go chop wood? It will be freezing if there is no firewood in the cold weather. dead."

"That is the forest in the village. We have already agreed with the village that we can go chop it down. The money for firewood is included in the land rent." Uncle Mutong told the soldiers what they could and could not do.

After hearing this, Jin Baihu thought it was reasonable and responded: "Okay, Tongzi, thank you very much."

He then called to his soldiers: "Hurry up and set up camp at our place. Hurry up, it's getting dark!"

"Yes!" Jin Baihu's soldiers screamed and ran to camp in the assigned land.

Niu Dabao and the others came in the second batch. When they saw Uncle Mu Tong, they laughed and said, "Brother Mu, it turns out it's you. Thanks to you, otherwise we wouldn't be able to find a place to camp. This Beicang The mansion is also very popular, not only are there many soldiers, but there are also many merchants, so many people that the entire land is taken up."

Uncle Mu Tong sighed in his heart. Finally, someone called him the right name: "Niu Baihu, this is where you camped, just to the left of our camp, near the forest."

Niu DaBao looked at the map and said with a smile: "This is a nice place. It's convenient for collecting firewood, and it's also convenient for your adults to have a drink."

Then he called his sons: "Big gold, two gold, and three gold, hurry up and take the big guy to the camp. After you bring the big guy to the camp, you can take the people to chop wood in the forest and fetch water from the old well."

"Hey, I got it, Dad." The three Jin led the soldiers and rushed to the camp.

Not long after, Mrs. Kuang came, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and asked Mu Tong: "Brother Mu, I heard that you saved the son of the village chief of Xiaobei Village? That was a great favor. The chief of Xiaobei Village was not allowed to give us any rice noodles." Meat and vegetables as a thank you gift or something like that?"

Niu Dabao stared at Tongling with his big eyes and cursed: "What kind of repayment is there? Go back and settle those women. It was Brother Mu who saved people. Even if the village chief of Xiaobei Village wanted to repay his kindness, he would go to Sanlang and his wife. It's your turn." ?"

Mr. Kuang snorted and said, "Isn't this just a casual question? What if the village chief of Xiaobei Village is a generous man and wants to give us some rice, noodles, meat and vegetables?"

Niu DaBao: "Don't have such sweet dreams, there are no such good things!"

Uncle Mu Tong knew that Kuang was rebellious and loved to take advantage, so he specifically said to her: "Mrs. Niu, this Xiaobei Village is different from other villages. Because it is close to Fucheng, the eldest son of the patriarch's family works as an errand in the Fucheng Yamen, so the village's The rules are very strict, and soldiers are never allowed to camp in the village. We can camp here because I saved Village Chief Wan’s son, and Village Chief Wan can’t refuse us.”

Uncle Mu Tong exaggerated what he said about Village Chief Wan being hard to talk to, the strict rules in the village, and the fact that if you don't follow the rules, you will be kicked out of the village.

Kuang was shocked when she heard this: "What? Why are the rules in this village so strict? There are more things going on than the emperor!"
