After death, I became the cannon fodder of the three protagonists

Chapter 22

Xishan is still a bit far away from Luoshan Village, but continuing west along the foot of the mountain is Changxing Village.

There are many families in the two villages who are married, and they come and go during the festivals, and the West Mountain is the only way to go.

Most of the villagers are honest, but it doesn't mean that there are no people with evil intentions.

Furthermore, the family was too poor, and it was not yet the best time to farm and support the family with peace of mind, so Su Mo only opened a small piece of land and then stopped.

These days, when she gets up in the morning, she runs to the mountains, checks the traps, chops some bamboo and wood, and after bringing them back, she starts to make breakfast.

At noon and afternoon, I would do carpentry at home, and then make some dinner, boil water for the three children to take a bath, and wake up early the next day to go up the mountain to check the traps.

Week after week, the days are busy and fulfilling, and the body is also much stronger.

This will dig almost a part of the ground, that is, a little sweat, unlike before, when I was carrying a load of water, I was out of breath.

Su Mo looked at the first piece of land she was about to own in this world with satisfaction, picked up the hoe, and headed home.

The three children probably should have woken up too, so she went back to cook and went to the village chief to measure it.

As for the trap in the mountain, I haven't gone yet, but yesterday I threw some offal into the pit, and with Gu Xingnian's koi luck, some prey should be able to take the bait.

When the village measures the wasteland, it will be too late to see it.

Su Mo also didn't expect that Wang Yingying and her mother and daughter would have an idea about her trap.

She estimated the time, and hurried to the village with a hoe on her shoulder.

After all, if the land deed cannot be obtained, it is not easy for her to plant. What if someone does something bad at that time, she must be on guard against others. She understands this truth deeply.

However, Su Mo went home first, put the hoe away, and washed his hands again.

The porridge in the pot is ready. This one is porridge with wild vegetables. The wild vegetables are picked next to the small courtyard. They are very fresh. Put some salt into them and stir them.

After tasting the taste, it was just right, Su Mo handed out the spoon and told the three children to get up.

Gu Xingnian was very dependent on Gu Jinnian, so Su Mo had no choice but to move the bamboo bed to her room, which was equivalent to a family still sleeping together, but with different beds in the same room.

"The porridge has been served for you and put on the table. I will go to the village chief to do business later. You stay at home obediently and wait for me to come back."

Su Mo tied Gu Xingnian's hair while exhorting:
"When Xing Nian is ready to eat, I have to. Ping An or Jin Nian will serve it for her if she has time, but don't let my younger sister serve it by herself, you know?"

The porridge is hot, and Gu Xingnian's small body cannot heal quickly, if he fails to hold it steady, the consequences will be disastrous.

Both Gu Ping'an and Gu Jinnian nodded, expressing that they would pay attention.

Su Mo tied the small end of the braid with a red string, then patted Gu Xingnian on the shoulder, stood up, and said, "Okay, go and wash your mouth."

The three children went out in response, and Su Mo took ten Wen coins on his body, and then went to the village.

When asking someone to do something, you have to give someone some benefits. Don't look at Su Mo in the end of the world, just do it when there is a disagreement, but people are very clear about the world.

Ten Wen is not too much, not enough to buy a catty and a half of rice, or half a catty of pork.

The village chief's house is in the center of the village, to the east is the ancestral hall, to the west is the well.

Today is another day to go to sea, and the village is almost full of women and children, sitting at the door to cool off and watching the children play.

Su Mo sold a lot of wild game in the village these days, and the price was fair. The villagers treated her a lot better. Now that they saw her, they all greeted her cheerfully.

Su Mo also replied with a smile. If someone asked her what she was doing, she responded with a smile, but she didn't reveal the reason at all.

Seeing that they couldn't find anything to ask, the big guy stopped thinking.

On the days when the village went to sea, the village chief was supposed to stay at the beach to guard after worshiping the sea god, but the sea was so humid that his injured leg couldn't bear the cold.

There were sea gods on the left and right to protect him, so he sent someone to guard him, and he returned home after worshiping.

When Su Mo came to visit, the village was teaching his grandson to read and write.

The village chief asked his wife to take the child away, stood up with a cane, and asked, "Mr. Su, what do you want?"

"Is such that."

Su Mo lowered her head slightly, and said in a straightforward manner:

"I bought some watermelon seeds from a traveling merchant in the county, and when I had time, I wanted to plant them, so I opened a plot of land in Xishan.

Village chief, can you help me measure it, and then report it to the Yamen to get the land deed. "

After all, Su Mo took out the ten Wen coins and put them on the square table beside the village.

The village chief was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the ten cents on the table from the corner of his eye. He frowned and waved his hands.

"You take the money..."

Su Mo thought the village chief was unwilling, and immediately wanted to speak again, but heard him say it again.

"As the head of a village, it is his duty to measure the wasteland. I also know the situation of your family. Money should be spent wisely.

In addition, although the imperial court encouraged land reclamation and promised to exempt from taxes for three years, the premise was that the land would not be abandoned within three years, otherwise it would have to pay double taxes.

There is no way to grow anything in the land of Xishan, are you sure you want to open up wasteland? "

Only then did Su Mo realize that he had misunderstood the village chief.

Feeling inexplicably empty in my heart, every word in the village chief's words was really for her sake.

It's just that they can't grow anything, Su Mo disagrees.

"I know, but I still want to give it a try. There is not much land left and right. If it can be planted, then there will be another income.

In my family's situation, I can't go out to sea, and I can't go to buy fields..."

Needless to say, the village chief can recognize the words "no money".

Seeing that Su Mo was determined to open up wasteland, the village chief didn't want to say much.

"Sure, you wait here, I'll get the things for measurement."

He walked to the next room with a cane, and came out with a basket after a while.

"Let's go!"

"Hey."

Su Mo responded and followed the village chief.

The village head had poor legs and feet, and couldn't walk too fast with a cane. Su Mo noticed it and slowed down calmly.

They are all debts owed by the original owner, and they should be repaid...

Those women who saw Su Mo passing by saw Su Mo come back and followed the village chief, they were a little puzzled, could something serious happen?

Just as he was guessing, a person rushed over from a distance, with messy hair and dirty clothes...

"In broad daylight, there are people who don't pay attention to their image, it's a shame!"

Wang Kuixing, who had just had breakfast and was taking a walk to digest, looked at the figure and shook his head repeatedly, acting like a nerd, causing the surrounding women to cover their mouths and laugh.

The village chief also frowned, when did foreigners come to the village again?Could it be that some natural and man-made disaster happened somewhere?
At this time, someone exclaimed: "Isn't this Mrs. Wang?"

Wang Kuixing at the side froze, and the contemptuous look on his face didn't fade away. He widened his eyes and took a closer look, and it really was his old lady.

Woohoo, alas!
Wang Kuixing only felt that the blood rushed to his brain, his face was flushed red, and then he walked away with a look of unwillingness to watch.

The village chief's brows furrowed even deeper, he walked faster with a cane on his hands, and then moved his dantian with luck, and scolded in a deep voice: "Wang Pozi, what are you doing?"

Mrs. Wang raised her head, her eyes were still full of horror, she saw the village head, as if she saw a savior.

"The village chief... Hurry up... Hurry up and save my family, Yingying..."
