Chapter 372 The Guest From Afar ([-])
"Miss Xiaoke, were you really a young lady before?"

"You said it was in the past, and I don't want to mention it anymore."

"Hey, hey, it's all gone. What are you doing chasing people to inquire about the past? You have nothing to do, right? Go home and cook."

The deputy village chief, Lu Chen, suddenly appeared from behind the crowd and knocked away the surrounding crowd. Everyone was smiling and refused to leave, clamoring for meat.

Qi Ke had something to do, so he quickly got out of the bad mood caused by the housekeeper just now, and sold the prey brought back by the wolves today to the villagers in need.

Lu Chen picked a female pheasant and wanted to stay at home to lay eggs.

"Xiao Ke, your wolves are really good. They are better than hounds. It seems that they are improving every day. All the things they bring back are alive, and none of them are dead."

"Wolves eat meat. Meat eaters are naturally smarter than vegetarians."

"Hey, that makes sense."

The villagers who finished buying the meat dispersed one after another, and Lu Chen stayed at the end.

"Uncle Chen still has something to do?" Qi knew that there was something to say from this posture.

"It's nothing." Lu Chen scratched his head and smiled honestly, "I just want to say that the past is over. You are now a military household of the Bai family army, and there will be no such thing as being bullied and no one to help you out."

"Okay, I know." Qi Ke smiled, his brows curved, "Thank you Uncle Chen."

Lu Chen smiled even more honestly, full of the love of the elders.

"By the way, talk to Uncle Chen."

"Aeration? Tell me."

"Those people were indeed old servants of my family just now. I heard the latest news from them. The severe drought in the north did not ease in the winter of last year. There is a Jiming Mountain outside the capital. It is famous for its first-class spring water. In the palace And the dignitaries in the city must drink the spring water there every day, and now the mountain springs are dry, and the people in the capital have begun to flee south."

"Ah? The drought in the capital has reached this point?!" Lu Chen was taken aback, "When we passed by the capital on the way south last year, the capital still felt okay!"

"Without water, no one can live. There will be more and more people fleeing southward. Uncle Chen will let everyone know, pay more attention to strangers who appear near the village, and don't let people take the time to do bad things."

"We are so biased here..."

"No one comes by land, and there is no guarantee for water. The local area has always been more important than land."

"Okay, leave this to me." Lu Chen is a northerner, many years of habits can't be changed in a short time, and the common sense of life in the southern water villages needs time to instill in his mind and keep in mind, but he is not slow to respond, Qi Keyi reminded I will understand.

Qi Ke nodded, she could only remind her that she had fulfilled her duty as a military household by exchanging news in a timely manner.

When Lu Chen raised his leg to leave, he stopped suddenly.

"What's wrong? Uncle Chen?"

"The former servant of your family reminded me that you have to take care of such a large property by yourself, don't you plan to raise a few servants? Taking advantage of the current disaster year, there will be many people who are willing to sell themselves as slaves. "

"It's not easy. Selling yourself as a slave also depends on who you sell to. They are all low-ranked and low-ranked. Those who sell themselves as civilians as slaves even look down on those who sell themselves as military households."

"It's all a mess."

"A chain of locks that look down on each other."

Qi Ke shrugged. It was tiring for her to do so much farm work by herself, which took up a lot of time she should have been practicing and studying, but it was indeed too risky to have servants to work for her. Many things about her were shameful. , there are servants who get along with each other day and night, and other people's eyes are everywhere, who knows when people will see what they shouldn't see, it's better for her to be alone now, laptops, notebooks, calculators, anything Put it in the house casually, if you are raising a servant, you don't dare to do this, everything has to be kept well, it makes me tired to think about it.
