The activity room mentioned by Xiao Minggan was built by more than 30 children two years ago. And although it is a house dominated by wood, because Xiao Minggan wants to exercise these children, this activity room is the largest and best house in the village.

The overall image looks very much like a rectangular antique second-story restaurant. When it was just completed, the adults in the village were stunned. I couldn't believe that this was a house built by more than 60 children aged 11 or 12. Of course, when building this activity center, the main heavy work was done by Xiao Ming.

Since then, it has been a consensus in the village that I have given children over five years old to Xiao Minggan to take care of. Moreover, Xiao Minggan's reputation has spread to more than a dozen Han villages within a hundred miles nearby. However, most parents in other villages now have too many doubts about handing over their children to others in the distance. So to this day, there are only children from the village.

"Uncle Shoufu, Uncle Shoufu, we saved someone outside!" Along the way, Song Erniu and a few little girls jumped in front and shouted. Behind, Xiao Minggan carried the man into the village.

"Well! Minggan, what's going on!" Zhao Shoufu, the middle-aged Khan, who was chosen as a small village because of his prestige, and several old men came up to ask.

"Uncle Shoufu, this person should have floated here after falling into the sea. I suspect he was from the mainland. So I want to save him." Xiao Minggan said.

"Ah! Let's do it! Many people outside are bad people, so don't cause disaster to the village!" As the village chief who has experienced several pirate attacks, Zhao Shoufu is very alert to the people outside. There is no way. There are so many pirates outside these days, so you can't be careless!

"Don't worry! Uncle Shoufu, if this person has any bad intentions, I will not let him live a good life." Xiao Minggan promised, "Also, Uncle Shoufu, this person may be a scholar. I want him to teach the children in the village to read, and people without education will not have a future."

"Ah! Just be sure of Minggan. But Minggan, we countrymen, and we are countrymen on Dongfan Island. What's the use of recognizing words? As an abandoned citizen in the eyes of the Ming monarchs and ministers on Taiwan Island, Zhao Shoufu had no expectation of studying to achieve fame and fortune.

"Uncle Shoufu, believe me. In the years and years, people without education will have no future. Even if they want to live a stable life, they will be unavailable. And reading words is not a bad thing, right?"

"That's right, Minggan will definitely not be wrong to say this. You have decided on this matter yourself." Damn, I was confused. With this kid's cleverness, what he was going to do must be a good thing.

"But Uncle Shoufu, wait until I arrange this person, I want to discuss some things with you." Xiao Minggan turned around and said.

"Well! Well, I'll wait for you here."

The man was arranged on the second floor of the activity center, changed his soaked clothes, and asked his playmates Meng Youqian, Lu Hong, Zhao Haisheng and other playmates to take care of him. Xiao Minggan left the activity center and came to Zhao Shoufu.

"Uncle Shoufu, I heard that every few years, pirates pass by and rob our village, right?" Xiao Minggan asked.

"Yes, I remember when I was a child, I heard from the old man that decades ago, there were many pirates and Japanese pirates around here. At that time, those pirates were very large, but they were small in number. After the pirates and Japanese pirates came, we could avoid them and pass.

Later, the big pirates were destroyed by the court opposite, and the Japanese pirates gradually became less common. Logically, our lives should be better, but the big pirates were gone, and there were more and more small pirates. In the past, the big pirates looked down on the poor villages here, so we were safer. But now the little pirates often rob us once.

Nearly eight years ago, there was a pirate with only one big ship. Your father died at the hands of those pirates that time." Zhao Shoufu said with a sigh.

"Our village is at least seven or eight miles away from the coast! Isn't there any warning?"

"Yes, why didn't there be? But those pirates are also cunning people. They all leaned the boats far away from the village and hidden, and then attacked us in the dark. When we found out, it was too late. So many things were stolen every time. Sometimes, some people would die."

"That's it! Uncle Shoufu, it's not a big deal to continue like this. It's been eight years since the last time the pirates came ashore, and maybe they will come again. I suggest building some defensive earth enclosures around our village. Otherwise, when the pirates come, we won't even have the ability to resist." Xiao Mingqian said.

"Mingqian, there are only about 400 people in our village, both young and old. Those pirates are all killing people without blinking. Can we stop them?" Zhao Shoufu asked timidly when he heard Xiao Mingqian say this.

"It doesn't matter. We set up more guard posts within ten miles of the surrounding area. If there are too many pirates, we will run away. If there are too fewer pirates, we will destroy them. Otherwise, we will not let those pirates snatch our things away. We will always be so poor." Xiao Mingqian actually had other thoughts in his mind, but he couldn't tell Zhao Shoufu.

"It's good, but Mingqian. If the pirates come, we still have to let the old and weak in the village leave! Otherwise, we can't run away at that time." Zhao Shoufu was still very suspicious of Xiao Mingqian's idea of ​​resistance. Although Xiao Mingqian had some miracles from time to time, it was a matter of life after all, and Zhao Shoufu still didn't want the whole village to take risks.

"Of course, I want to arrange some around the village. Also, Uncle Shoufu, although the village has good harvest and can have enough food, it is not a bad thing to have too much food. Look at the large area of ​​woods in the east, and they are all plains. Are we going west to open up land?" Xiao Mingqian suggested.

"Well! That's true. Although we can eat enough now, we don't have to be hungry from time to time like before. But if we have food in our hands, we are not panic, so it's better to open some land. With more land, and with Mingqian's farming method, we will definitely have too much food to eat in the future. If we save some food, we won't be hungry even if we have a disaster year." Zhao Shoufu agreed.

"Okay, I will organize people to build a village wall from tomorrow. By the way, Uncle Shoufu, do you think you should add an aunt to us when you become rich in the future?" After the serious matter was said, Xiao Mingqian started joking.

"Little bastard, I'm not growing yet, so I dare to make fun of you Uncle Shoufu, right? I won't beat you up." Zhao Shoufu cursed with a smile.

"Haha! Then I'll go back." Xiao Mingqian ran away with a smile.
