Farm with space

Chapter 156
"You did a good job on this matter, I hope nothing happened to your elder brother." Master Fan is now like a sad little old man, frowning: "By the way, why are there so many passers-bys wandering around the house recently?" People, are the inns in the village full?"

Speaking of this matter, Fan Liyue was a little sad: "I don't know who let the wind out, saying that the underground of my Fan family is where the treasure of the Xiandi tribe is, so they have been wandering around, trying to find out the truth. I have secretly Drive away those who sneaked into the house."

"Fan's underground", these sensitive words reminded Fan Liyue of Yuxi, except for Yuxi, no one has entered the secret room recently.He fell in love with Yuxi, and he didn't want her to be hurt by Fan Lihua. If this was really Yuxi's news, Fan Liyue decided to treat her with a firm heart.

Master Fan covered his head with a headache: "Who is spreading such rumors, have you found out?"

"Not yet. My son will find out as soon as possible." Fan Liyue muffled.

"These two incidents are quite strange, and they both rushed towards the Fan family. You handle it properly and go down." Master Fan waved his hand wearily, telling Fan Liyue to step back.

When the Fan family was in dire straits, the Lu family was also unhappy.

Mr. Lu was very annoyed because the people of Bianjia Village did not go to the cave to hunt for treasure with the treasure hunters: "I don't know who is behind the muddy water. The treasure hunters have all targeted the Fan family. Those people If you don’t go to the cave, how can you lure the people of Bian’s family to go, and if you don’t go, the people of Bian’s family will die. I heard that the ancestral hall of Bian’s village was burned by sky fire, and I thought it was their fleeting time.

"Third brother's plan is good, but the effect is too slow and the cost is too high." Lu Erye said darkly.He just felt that it was too troublesome to donate cloth to Bianjia Village and put poison in the cave.

"Third brother, stay safe and don't be impatient!" Master Lu reassured, "It's unexpected that we have such a change in our plan. Let Bian's village escape, we have another plan."

Lu Erye suggested: "Why don't we go directly to Fan's house to buy some masters, and kill every single one in Bian's village."

Lu Sanye shook his head and denied: "You all know that the Fan family is being harassed by people in the pass now, so there are still extra people for us to use."

Lu Sanye changed the subject: "The matter in Bianjia Village is not in a hurry, let's let it go. Now I am wondering if the barbarians will be born again to attack the pass, as rumored. If this is the case, the first one to be hit is the Those of us outside the customs. Once the barbarians are dispatched, there will be tens of thousands of people, and there are hundreds of people from the Lu family, so we can't compete with them at all. A hundred soldiers are probably no match for them."

"Brother, there is no need to worry too much. If we are really worried, we can make two-handed preparations. It doesn't matter if we take people back to the customs first. Anyway, we can freely enter and exit the border defense, and there is also a mansion in the customs. After the wind has passed, we can move back here."

"What the third brother said is true. Let's do it like this." Master Lu nodded in agreement, and then said with a smile: "But it's not a bad thing if the barbarians come. When the time comes, the border will be chaotic, and we can use this to get rid of our humble status. And Bian Jiacun is sticking to the good status, and has not yet become a lowly status outside the customs, when the barbarians come, they will not be able to enter the customs, maybe we don't need to do it, and there will be countless casualties by then!"

Second Master Lu and Third Master Lu thought about it after hearing this, and felt reasonable, and their moods changed for the better, they both said: "Big brother is still wise!"

The three laughed gloomily.

When the three of the Lu family were proud, the Bian family village was holding a family meeting. The second master Bian did not pretend to be a barbarian today, but sat calmly in the ancestral hall, listening to the parents of each family express their opinions.

The patriarch came up with an idea: "I support the relocation of people, not the relocation of villages."

Some parents supported the departure, and some insisted on staying.

As soon as the patriarch spoke, everyone shut up and looked over.He said: "If the news is true, the barbarians are like wasps crossing the border. We cannot resist a hundred people in Bianjia Village. But if we move out of this place rashly and don't say anything, we will treat it as the harvest of crops that are about to mature. We can’t let go, leaving here, we don’t have enough food to survive, hunting alone is far from enough.”

Seeing everyone nodding, the patriarch continued: "We can do this. Let the core tribe in the village lead most of the people to the direction of the pass, find a place close to the pass to live temporarily, and leave some people here to guard the fertile fields. It’s not too late to move back here.”

Near the Guan, there are more mountains and rocks, which are not suitable for reclamation and planting, so people outside the Guan do not open up wasteland there.

"Patriarch Zunbo is right." The second uncle Bian Wen supported, adding: "However, this temporary residence is near the pass. Although there are many mountains and dangerous places, because it is too close to the guard soldiers, the prey on the mountain have already been beaten by them. As far as the relatives in the vicinity of the pass can’t live by hunting, they can only rely on the food stored at home. This is a big consumption. How much food can be supported by each of our families, how many people go, and who stays here. Another problem."

"How about this." The patriarch suggested: "If there is a lot of food in the family, more people will go to the vicinity of the pass. If there is little food in the family, they will stay in the good fields here. At least they can hunt wild game here."

As soon as the patriarch said this, the parents of each house fell silent.Who doesn't know that in this village, Erye Bian's family now has no food in stock and needs public food to survive.If the Nanman came, the clansmen who stayed here would be in danger, and they would not have the energy to escape if they were not full. This is not asking Second Master Bian to die!
The head of the patriarch seemed to be unable to understand everyone's faces, and said with a "righteous" face: "Everyone is talking about this idea. If there is no food in the house, I am afraid that other houses will not be willing to contribute rice and grain to help. I will feed it myself. Not enough, let alone another house. But if that house voluntarily stays, this house will be willing to spend some rice and grain supplies, so that they don’t have to hunt every day, so they can stay here and guard the fertile land with peace of mind.”

Bian Wenbo thought for a while and said in support: "I heard that what the patriarch said makes sense. But..." He glanced at Second Master Bian and shut up.Usually he asked Uncle Bian Wen to speak on behalf of their branch, but seeing that everyone was silent and the air pressure was too low today, he couldn't help but speak out.

If Yuxi is here, she will definitely scold the patriarch for being unscrupulous in her heart.They did so much to protect the Bian family village from the scourge of the barbarians, but now the patriarch has asked Bian Erye to stay and die, which is really chilling.

Uncle Bian heard the meaning of the patriarch and wanted Second Master Bian to stay voluntarily. He really couldn't understand the patriarch's persecution: "I think it's better for everyone to move to the vicinity of the pass. You think you can keep this fertile land if you want to, don't Forget about the crops that have inexplicably disappeared in the past few days. If there really is a barbarian saint, once she casts a spell, all the crops will be gone, and there will be no rice left. Why stay here then, and directly confront the barbarians ? It’s stupid to stay here!”

Uncle Bian Wen stated: "I think our house should stay. No matter what, someone must stay."

"No!" Bian Wenbo objected: "Second brother, no. The boys in your family are still young, and the eldest daughter is not as old as Ji. Anyone can stay, but you can't."

"Come on, stop arguing." Uncle Bian Jin, who usually looks lazy, said, "I'll just stay. Anyway, you all know that I'm a lazy person. After a few years, it's good to be alive. At the end of the year They all rely on the public supply for their livelihoods, and they are usually a source of suspicion. This time, I can’t plow the fields, but I can still keep the fields. My sons are not young, so let’s stay with me.”

Bian Jinbo didn't know whether to be happy or angry: "You're the only one who talks too much. It's a rare time when you understand the righteousness. I'm afraid it will make you suffer."

"Brother is talking about it." Uncle Bian Jin smiled and said, "I usually give you trouble, but it's really hard these years, brother, you have to take care of my useless younger brother."

"What are you talking about?" Bian Jinbo knew that he had made up his mind, and he was afraid that he would be sad if he stayed.

The third uncle Bian Yu saw that the second master Bian had been jumping up and down. He knew that his elder brother was not greedy for life and afraid of death for his offspring. Afraid that it was uncomfortable, he, the younger brother, noticed it: "I think the four branches of our Bian clan should each spend one house and keep it. In the end, which house is left, why don't we leave the meeting and each branch go back and talk to each other?" What do you guys think of the family meeting after discussing it with each other in the same branch?"

Uncle Bian Wen was the first to agree: "It's a good idea."

The patriarch saw that people kept agreeing, so he glanced at Second Master Bian intentionally or unintentionally, and then broke up the meeting.

After dinner, Second Master Bian went to Dr. Yun's house and told Yuxi about it.

After hearing this, Yuxi scolded the patriarch for being unscrupulous: "I used to think he was quite decent, but I didn't expect him to want my father to die. Fortunately, we are still spreading rumors and trying our best to get the people of Bianjia Village to leave."

"You can't completely blame the patriarch, after all, he doesn't know if the barbarian's attack will be real." Doctor Yun poured tea to Master Bian.

Second Master Bian took a teacup and drank it, then put it down heavily: "Even if the patriarch calls us to stay, even if I agree, I won't stay here foolishly. Let's see."

"No. Dad, you must not stay. Others don't know whether the barbarians will attack the border, but you know it." Yuxi said anxiously.

Second Master Bian sighed: "Mother Seventeen, what I saw at the family meeting today is that our older generation has little blood. If it was before, the people of Bian Village would have picked up the sharp sword in their hands and kept it safe. The family defends the country. And now one or two of them just want to protect themselves."

"Father, why are you stubborn?" Yuxi felt the meaning, but didn't understand why: "It was the imperial court who gave up on the Bian family and exiled us here, and now the life of the Bian family village is precarious, and there are only a hundred or so people left in the family. , What are you talking about defending your home and country? If you want to defend your home and country, you have to live your own life well."

"You don't understand. You have never been a soldier or fought a war, so you don't understand." Second Master Bian shook his head sadly.

"Seventeen Niang, your father needs to be alone for a while, let's go down." Doctor Yun said to Yuxi.

"Oh." Yuxi stood up and said, "Calm down, Dad." Yuxi wanted to persuade Second Master Bian to stop holding on to the sentiment of protecting the family and the country, but seeing Second Master Bian's sad expression, his mouth The words in Li swallowed again.
